On Friday we headed out to see Good bye, Lenin!. A fine and funny film, if you can handle subtitles or speak German, about the fiction a son has to create to keep the fall of the Berlin Wall from his mother. I hadn’t been to the Duke of York’s cinema for about 10 years, but I’ll be back there: the screen felt small (we were at the back of the balcony), but any cinema that’s licensed and sells cake is on to a winning combination in my books.
Afterwards we needed tasty, quick, cheap food in an uncrowded place. I thought we’d maybe get two out of those four on a Friday night, but we found them all in one go at Bombay Aloo. It’s an all-you-can-eat Indian vegetarian buffet. Like other people we’ve walked past it a few times and wondered what it’s like: it’s definitely worth trying. I’d eat there again without a second thought.
