Food: Mezbaan

For some reason I wasn't going to review this place. On the face of it Mezbaan is just another curry place on Green Street. But we did have lunch there so it qualifies I guess.

I'm not sure why I was reluctant though, because Mezbaan wasn't actually that bad. Since we had numbers, we went for a set meal; a fiver got us a soft drink (juice was extra), a lamb or chicken curry, one naan and a generous helping of rice. Pretty fantastic value even if the food turned out to be substandard.

The thing was that it didn't. I went for the chicken, and although nothing particularly special, we didn't leave anything behind either. It was pure, unfussy, tummy filling stuff.

Atmosphere wise, it was pretty good too. Clean and airy they allowed us to take over for the Sunday afternoon, although if I did have a criticism it would be about the long row-based table layout. In theory this should have been much less, but it turned out being quite impressive for reasons I can't quite place.
