Stuart and I were invited to the official opening of Newbury's newest indian restaurant, Sahill in Station Approach.
The building was previously offices and a sandwich bar, so the restaurant is a transformation. As it is slightly off the beaten track, it is a good place to go for a quieter meal, where you can have a proper conversation! The food was delicious - I think we sampled quite a bit of the menu. Stuart (who loves indian food) thought the chicken Jalfrezi and the naan bread were the best he had ever tasted! We arrived at 6pm, and waited a while for Richard Benyon, the other special guest to arrive, but as the NWN photographer had to leave I cut the ribbon before Richard arrived. Richard and his secretary Michele quickly ate their starters and caught up with us for the main course. We even had a delicious fruit salad dessert.
The restaurant is run by two brothers from a family of five who have had a restaurant in Basingstoke for 20 years, and will shortly be expanding their empire into Peterborough too. I wish them well, in what is a very competitive market.
