Indian, Thai food at Blue Bar

[Dalyansteve]

New for this year, Blue bar now has Indian, Thai and Chinese food on the Square reports so far is that it is very good and has been very busy. Limited number of tables so go early.

I tried the Indian last week and it was really good, except for the poppadoms, which were very oily. If my memory servces me right, they offer Indian, Thai and Italian dishes, not Chinese. Strangely, chicken nuggets and sausage and mash come under the Italian section of the menu!

Hi Dalyan Steve, do you mean the Cafe Blue Bar next to Golden Crab? If so, can you still just go there and sit and have a drink? Thanks for the info. By the way, did it ever sell, I know it was up for sale at one time.

[Dalyansteve]

Yes, I got that wrong again!!!! Italian not chinese. I was next door in the Golden crab who are also doing some Indian dishes, I had balti chicken tikka masala with onion bahgi and must admit it was very tasty but not hot at all and the bahgi was miniscule but good.

Yes, you can still drink at the Blue Bar. The restaurant is at the back facing the square.

Thanks for that, I got to thinking my favourite watering hole was no more.

I hear Sello who was at Tin Tin's last year is now connected with Blue Bar. Is that correct?
A really nice guy. If it is him I wish him every success.

But not new this year Steve - they were doing all of these last year as well - we ate there twice and the balti was not far off Birmingham standard. Have to agree about the poppadums though - they were a bit on the greasy side

Has the blue bar been sold or just rented out, not that it matters either way, just wondered, as I knew it was up for sale. Funny thing is that Askin the bartender at Blue bar said he wouldn't be working there this year which is a shame as he was really good and a great guy, and brought in many repeat visitors, and because of this we were thinking we might try Tin Tin this year for a change. Now if the guy from Tin Tin is at Blue Bar, we may just stay put. I know things always change from year to year, and I too wish whoever has Blue Bar much success. A change is as good as a rest I suppose but we will miss Askin, but hopefully he will stay in Dalyan.

Still go to Tin Tin's, live music is good and
go to the restaurant next door. Funny name but food is very tasty and reasonable.
Jack (Check) does the cooking and he is very good. Nice friendly guy.
Relaxing to sit at either place having a beer and watching the river traffic across the road.
