A hot sultry curry


It had been a hot, very sultry day and so what better thing to do than go for a hot sultry curry. Reading The Languedoc Page forum, a few people had mentioned a curry house in Lunel that was providing an 'English style' curry, like wot mother used to make, or more precisely like
'The Taj Mahal' used to make.
One board member, BonnyYewTree, invited partners for a visit, so Jan and I volunteered. We have so far been very disappointed with the quality of ethnic food in this area, so a curry house that was getting good reviews had to be checked out.
Le Palais des Roses, 323 bvd St-Fructueux, 34400 Lunel, 0467 83 03 24, is the best restaurant Indien that we have found so far. The friendly proprietor, who speaks English, will adapt your meal to better suit English tastes. I asked him for a dish that was not on the menu and he agreed to cook it. It wasn't a bad effort. Because we were on a 'blind date', meeting some really nice people for the first time, not enough time was devoted to the menu, so we will have to go back, but first appearances suggest that this place should definitely be revisited. Having said that, we are making a flying visit to Manchester next week and have been promised a visit to 'Curry Mile' in Rusholme. Now that's what I call a curry!
