  • I researched a place near Tottenham Court Road London for a cheeky curry while on my lunch, the place I chose is South Indian which will make a nice change. A cheeky curry South Indian style. Chettinad in Percy Rd having a chicken curry dish called Melagu Kolli. Darren John said it's Off the Charts. Who doesn't love a cheeky curry. No rice, just chapati today - and what a nice change it was. #cheekycurry #chettinad #tottenhamcourtroad #southindianfood

    Hi Darren,
    Really sorry to hear the news about your job & bike.
    I thought I'd lose my flat once, thankfully it never came to that.
    Thank you for sharing with us on here & hopefully you will feel the support you have.
    It's times like this when you know who your true friends are, not only about for the good times but the bad too.
    With your experience in your present job & your other skills, the great videos - editing- drone skills, cooking etc!
    You'll be an asset to any company you work for.
    You're a good genuine person & maybe this will bring something even better for you.
    Stay Positive....
    Lizzie 🤞🤗🥰

    Just a bit of trivia for you - Percy Street was a very popular film & TV location in the 1960's. Various motion pictures & ITC shows used it (Randall & Hopkirk & Department S). Also sometimes used as backround footage when filming from inside moving car scenes.

    I know it well, Darren. Chettinad is lovely. Next time have their masala dhosa - ideal for lunch, a 'go to' dish for South Indian and/or vegetarian. Delicious! There's a whole host of tasty South Indian dishes you won't find in the Bangladeshi/Punjab style of 'North Indian/Tandoori' dishes - use of coconut, different spices, rice flour, lentils etc.
