On an
unusually warm April night last week friends old and new of the
famous Bombay Brasserie gathered in London to celebrate 25 years at
the very top of the industry.
It was a night
of bussling good fun, laughter, high fashion and one or two damp eyes
as memories were revived.
The almost
legendary Adi Modi described how Micky Most had been such a fan of
the BB that he had insisted on a visit just three days before dying
of cancer but that his widow was at the celebration to maintain the link.
Adi had
personally invited people and families who stood out in his memory as
friends of the BB over the years so there was plenty of "we
haven't seen you for three years" and "wonderful to
see you again after all this time".
As always the
kitchen team stepped up to the mark with a wonderful buffet boasting
some exemplary spicing with the Lamb Shank Nihari, the Lucknow Raan
Biryani and the Cauliflower Fenugreek Green Peas as the stars. The
excitement reached fever pitch as the specially created fashion show
saw exotic Asian models glide amongst the diners displaying their
latest creations.
It was a
really emotional night to celebrate 25 years of a culinary
institution. They have served London and Indian food well over the
years and long may it continue. |
