You Should Be Into It – Desi Biryani

Some people call it the Sandringham shops, some people call it home, some people call it Little India.

I have learnt to love it. I already liked curry, however. But what I have found is a collection of the most deviously delightful looking gentlemen with most questionable fingernails who dish up the best curry in town with the best smiles on the planet.

It’s a sweet little shit hole which could aptly be referred to (to steal a phrase) as where atmosphere came to die! But at the same time it is the sort of place where you could well imagine Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers coming in for a bite to catch up if they were actually Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed.

I was shocked this evening when I stepped into my local and found some decor-ing (I think in this case we won’t have an accent on the top of that) had been done at Desi! Tremendous stuff indeed. I chuckled with pleasure and said to my resplendent host how cool it was. He, proud as punch, told me everyone liked it, well except for two people who didn’t think Osama and Obama sitting next to each other was quite right… Well I’ll let you be the judge of the rights and wrongs. All I know is that this is the most original and breathtaking event in Indian Take-Away Cuisine interior design I have ever seen, and the Taschen book on the subject will surely show this to be an icon, a trend starter… one only hopes.

I guess, to delay revealing the images, what I can’t quite get my head around is… How were these people chosen… Helen Clark/Phil Goff/John Key under Presley/MJ/Queen or Bruce Lee/Pele/Imran Khan over Osama and Obama and how the fuck did Bob Marley make it????

Enjoy… You would however enjoy it more if you ate their curry.
