The bright neon lights of the "Last Monsoon" brightly lit up the smog ridden sky of Stockport town centre as we approached Chris MS's first Curry.
The Last Monsoon is located on King Street, next to Stockport Fire Station, and offered ample parking facilities.
Notable absentees were the Woodman and Dayo. The latter facing the wrath of the Council for rearranging the curry from the Wednesday to a Monday and yet still failing to attend.
'Loaf a Bread Head' Hague, currently serving a 3 match curry ban, attended the curry despite the protests of the group. The "hole digging" mole Jordan may face disciplinary action for this breach.
The menu was large and varied, offering a mix of Bangladeshi, Indian and Nepalese cuisine. There no was no Indian lager offered on draught, which was very dissapointing.
The shared mixed starters were delivered by the waiter (Special Tandoori Platter, priced at £4.50). These were of a good standard and included lamb chops, sheek kebab, chicken tikka, lamb tikka & garlic chicken. Although these were served slightly luke warm and a little sparce (there was only 1 piece of each tikka).
The main courses sampled were of an average standard, as was the rice and naan.
The meal (including a starter, main course, 2 "english" beers, rice & Naan) was priced around £23 per person (including a 10% tip). It was felt that was a little bit pricey for a lower end curry house in Stockport town centre (next to a bus station !).
Overall, this was an average curry house that offered a good sized menu.
