Indira was a fantastic, family run restaurant in Kleinbasel (Ciba stop on the tram) but it closed down about 2 years ago. Pat and I are still in mourning

Re: Basel Curry - October 2011

For those requesting to join for a drink after the curry the best option is probably Cargo Bar. If you want my number to see when we finish dinner you can PM me or come to Jay's some time after 9.

Glad to see the number growing! I will confirm with the restaurant an estimate tomorrow and then re-confirm actual number on Monday.

Re: Basel Curry - October 2011

Average cost of a main course (any type of food, it doesn't vary very much*) in Basel is 25-30Fr for something without much/any meat, and 30-40Fr if it has meat. Beer is up to 10Fr.

It's madness. But one doesn't want to cook or cross the border every time one gets hungry, so one learns to get used to it.

* The price, or the food, or the flavour ;)

Re: Basel Curry - October 2011

Hi everyone, glad to see so many signed up! Since we are now 27 it is very important for everyone as a yes to commit to comming and for anyone who cannot make it please update your status. The restaurant is fairly small and will plan for us but we have to be sure we give an honest number. See you all Tuesday!

I would be happy to do some wednesday curry's as well. We can switch back and forth because neither is good for everybody.

Re: Basel Curry - October 2011

Pff, at the moment I am feeling really ill.
Don't know what hit me, but I hope I can still participate.

If I am still feeling like this in the afternoon, is it ok to let you know at that point that I won't come?

Hi Braincake, please update your RSVP this afternoon if you cannot make it so that if someone else wants to join there is space for them. Hope you feel better!

Bexie, hope you feel better soon! I will say hello for you. Thanks for updating your status someone new has already been able to join now.
