YankeeinMadrid Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Heheeeeeeeeeeeee! I have never been so full in my life. The area was, to my surprise, not shady at all. We walked a few blocks from Al Faisals to Heavenly Desserts without incident. Can't believe I've lived here nearly a year and hadn't been yet!! What a hidden gem! If you are a dessert person, which usually I'm not, I HIGHLY recommend Heavenly Desserts. All they do is dessert and they are AMAZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Al Faisals was really good!! 68 pounds for 6 people, soooo cheap. After we walked to Heavenly Desserts- INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cab was 10 each way for a big cab for 6 people. Solid night. I'm still full!! I have to take you to task, YIM; I have this second returned from a brief holiday in Brum, and (based on the above post) I decided to incorporate a visit to Al Faisals into the trip (yesterday, in fact). I subsequently spent all of last night vomiting and shitting the entirety of my Chicken Desi Masala (tasty as it was at the time) into the sink and bog of our room at the Central Moor Street Travelodge. I'm fairly certain I still stank of curry, shit and sick when I met Ken McNaught this morning, so thank you very **** much for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hahah. Happened to the best of us. I've had a few curry mishaps as well, but it'll never put me off. They even taste good on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ooo. Your hotel was about 60 seconds walk from where I work. Interesting stuff! We did take the train from the Jewellery Quarter back to Moor Street when we couldn't be arsed to walk all the way back to the centre around Tuesday afternoon. Is there a chance we rode the Rev-train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 They even taste good on the way out. I can assure you, this did not. I was actually relieved when I got down to vomiting the Pepsi section of my guts, as it tasted comparatively of sweet nectar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting in the staff room at Moor Street until about 10pm on Tuesday evening though, you could have bought me dinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would happen if you felt the wrath of that curry whilst driving a train? Emergency stop then a frantic dash through the carriage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of a decent Balti, cheap as chips with the menu under a plastic table protector are long gone unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
