Ivonne, yes, very sad, another piece of London tradition probably gone forever (there was a rumour they might reopen in alternative premises but I doubt in the current climate for hospitality that will happen); a blast from my past although I'll admit not going recently as they only had a few vegan options compared to other Indian restaurants. I was lucky to go on their last day; a friend from my university days was going with some other friends of his who were regulars so I was invited to tag along. I was told new landlords didn't renew the lease as they wanted to redevelop the site but I'm not sure if that's true - I notice the Wig & Pen Club nearby in Fleet Street has also shut and morphed into a restaurant; I wonder where the lawyers go for their public school style dinners and claret?!
