Saturday night in Soho - London - October 2012

Last night (Saturday) I caught up with an old friend Brooke who I used to work with at Borders back in Perth. She left to travel 3 years ago and has been living in France, Scotland and now England. It is amazing to hear all the places she has been to in her 3 years away.

We met up at Leicester Square Tube Station then headed to a Bombay Restaurant called 'Dishoom'. There was a queue for tables so we got a buzzer and headed downstairs to the bar for a few drinks before getting called to our table.

The food was delicious- we ordered some crackers called Far Far, soft shell crab curry, lamb boti kebabs, rice and garlic naan- what a feast! The lamb was a tad too spicy for us both though. The restaurant was nicely set up and quite modern but with an old Indian feel.

We decided to then move on to Soho to check out the night life. There are heaps of bars around Soho all pumping on a Saturday night- we chose one called Bar Soho. Had a few cocktails then hit the dance floor, fun times.

After Bar Soho we decided to check out another Bar that Brooke has been to before called Salvador and Amanda. It cost £7 to get in, which is expected in most places in Soho. The bar is quite big (it's a tapas restaurant) and had a DJ and dance floor at the back so we had a good dance there too. Had a delicious Midori Sour cocktail.

Overall a great night out in Soho and a fantastic catch up, we've booked in for a brunch date next week too :)
