Right I have to entertain a collegue on Monday night. Its his first ever visit to the UK from India and it will be his first "real" meal out.
I think i should take him to a vaugely English restaurant so he gets a taste of the culture (after all he is only here for a week and is staying in the Indian YMCA which is like a little slice of India in the middle of London) - but everyone else in the office thinks that its a terrible idea and I should take him out to eat something "familiar"......

however the office suggests I take him out for turkish food which won't be so scarily different............
Maybe mexican - but then the beans might be scary - but i'm also thinking lebanseese.
Since you're so close to Charlotte St, how about you ask him what he fancies, and take a trip there, plenty of restaurants after all. If he's into his Indian food, I'd recommend the South Indian restaurant on Cleveland St, just on the otherside of the BT tower.
I suggest something where he can try different things. Something like a buffet type place or where you can order small portions of lots of things.
Having just one main dish runs the risk of him not liking it and going hungry!
:yes: good point - the place I suggested is buffet style.
I'll never tire of it
Thanks, classic.
I did wonder if anyone would get the comment
There will be nowhere else in the world he can get true london grub.
You can even have jellied eels.
If he doesnt like it at least he can say he tried!
