    The Swan curry used to be one of the highlights along with Alsatian bajhis . In the middle 1960s it was the best of all the Bangladeshi restaurants in the area and then the bits you could see was scrupulously clean but in that time I expect the original owner has died several times

    Aye Cappy, this was 1967, one Indian near the Marine pub and one Chinese, big change now though. I occasionally pop in Dolly Peel then up to that all you can eat place in Laygate.

    Vindaloo is actually Hindi for 'where is the loo'.
    A term used by many who have eaten it.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
