The whole concept of the Mango Chutney Club was conceived in Cafe Rasoi in late 2008. A small group of the founding members were surprised at the cloudy nature that they experienced within. Was this a one-off or the general atmospheric expectation of the venue?
At this stage, Demi-God Henry announced that a new decree had been set down demanding that a monthly census should follow to decide the best eatery in the Heathfield area.
It was very soon acknowledged that this venture was much bigger than just Heathfield (mainly due to the fact that Heathfield does not have enough Indian restaurants!
The dream was forming!
Another key factor in the creation of the club was the regalia. It just so happened that Justin had frequented many a dodgy retailer looking for certain clothing. On one such visit he viewed what is now the official waistcoat and tie. Taking one on approval, he presented it to many members (including his own!) and the legend began!
The dream came to fruition on Friday 13th February 2009 - Long may it continue.

Raj Dutt:
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to our next evening out. I thought I would do a bit of research about our next destination and found it fascinating.
I thought this offered an excellent opportunity to right a review of this restaurant as despite extensive searching on restaurant websites, the nearest thing to a review is its postcode, position on google maps and telephone number. An Indian restaurant website does however have a sample menu which states ... start with Dall or Mulligatawny soup. The trail then goes dead.
Below is the planning application for the restaurant which I was impressed to see included refurbished ground floor toilets. I hope we will all marvel at the redesigned Verandah.

'Raj Dutt' is an anagram of 'Taj Turd', the sort of bowel action to be proud of after a curry.
The name ‘Raj Dutt’ may have originated from the director of Marathi cinema whose most famous films includes the 1982 classic Shapit starring Ashok Saraf and Supriya Sabnis.
Raj Dutt is also the CEO of Voxel dot net
A company which... delivers scalability for demanding Internet applications - yada yada. In an industry with way too many buzzwords, let's just get to the heart of what that actually MEANS
There is one Raj Dutt on Facebook. He is a fan of music and sports teams, so is obviously a fantastic cool bloke,maybe we should all be his friend? (we could all join wearing the waistcoats).
