Anthony, I was not going to say anything until I saw on another thread that you have repeated "business must be bad". Anyone in business in NC would find it hard right now and if the likes of Guido and Lilli have to beat the drum many times to keep their business afloat then good luck to them. Thinking of ideas to keep the punters in is a must otherwise you sink very quickly. Of course there are businesses in NC that will survive come what may but its a choice you make as a customer. As for price there is so much to consider if the Taj Mahal is doing a curry for 14tl so be it, but if you want more like The Courtyard you pay extra. It depends upon what your looking for.

Please dont make comments like you have done above without thinking of what people in business are having to go through, its tough everywhere and as expats you should be supporting and not trying to put anyone who is trying to keep their business afloat down. Yes you have a choice and its your perogative to do this

I do a pretty mean curry myself, and so I should, having been married

to an Indian for 18 years (at least he taught me something) But it may

be a bit different from your European adaptations!

I will tell my nephew about it as he is coming with family for 2 weeks

in early Oct. They love Italian food, and also Indian. Last Aug. they stayed

in my flat and ate out almost every night, and I joined them the last week.

They live in Switzerland now and he is Indo/Austrian, she Turkish, and am

sure they will visit you with their kids.

i would like to explain to the member of the board that a masterchef must be able to cook all sorts of food. italian it is my speciality of course, but i am also able to cook indian, french, spanish and mexican. i like indian/pakistani food and i often cook curry, so it will be no problem for me to prepare the dishes i above mentioned. do not think for one second that it wont be as good as any good indian restaurant. try before comment. it will be served and not a buffet. i think the price it's very reasonable fo three courses including prawns, (they are not cheap!) and beef (i use sirloin and not off cuts!!!). All depend if you want quality food or if you need to fill your belly. A Mc Donald it's 79 pence!!

to be masterchef you must be a qualify chef judged by a pannel of chefs for his/her dishes and have a good knowledge of most food ingredients, drinks and service.a masterchef must be able to cook almost any food and must be a good team leader.

Guido claims to be a masterchef. I don't know what sort of or standard that qualification is and so I asked. What is the problem with that? I don't need to explain my postings to you or anybody at all and I can say what I want. My postings are within the rules of this forum. If you do not like them, tough.

Anthony,

If you put 'masterchef definition' into Google, you will get over 20,000 results.

It's much faster than asking a question on a forum, and wastes nobody's time but your own

Seriously, I can't believe the number of people who ask questions that they could easily answer themselves, with very little effort...

Mongolian food is a rather bland affair isn't it? I know in the US they do a type of stir fry and call it "mongolian" but this is a rather wide slant on the true quisine, which is mainly dairy and meat. I went to a mongolian night in Sri Lanka (of all places) and you stood in line for pne of the chefs to cook your selection of meat on hot stones. There was a seasoned traveller amongst us who told us that this wasn't mongolian at all!!

borodave,your comment its very childish or you have interess in knocking others. if business was bad it would not make any sense to try to sell something at an unrealistic price. 40 tl for tree starters including prawns, tree main courses including sirloin hanged for tree weeks by me and tree desserts it is very cheap. if you think that a very poor chicken korma take away it's between 14-18 tl alone. multiply by 3 (tree different type of food on your plate) starters and desserts served by a waiter in a nice place and you have the courage to call it expensive? it ovviest to me that you must be happy with a Mc donald at 79 pence and a large meal would be to expensive for your pocket!!. if you want good things in life you have to pay for it you cannot expect anybody to gift it to you. 40= to 16 sterling the price of a bottle of wine!!!

You know the old saying if you have to ask the price then you cant afford it. He will go on every thread anlong with a certain other person making the same claims. Just ignore them.

You don't have to be an Indian to make a fine Indian dish. I am sure Guido's training leaves him totally capable of this. Good luck to you on Indian night and I look forward to sampling your fine food in August. Guido, if you need any Indian spices brought over from the UK it would be a pleasure, let me know, I am back on 14th August, email me a list.

just to put the record straight i own a restaurant in the north yorkshire moors national park valued at more than £500,000 we serve oysters,razor clams,scallops,cravettes,lobster etc etc i run a plastering buisiness with my son for the past 25 years. i rent a villa every year in tc for 6 months at a cost of £500 per month plus bills and pool maintainance.i have bought a brand new car here even though we are only here for 6 months. my wife and i go out every day to beaches and hotels taking in lunch whenever and where ever. we have a hour round our pool befor getting ready to go out every night eating where ever we fancy.we dont go to supermarkets stocking up on cheap booze to stay in. we have eaten many places including address, ambience,di figaro,the ship,lecam,achmenya and guidos. we have also eaten at many other places on the island. the point i am making is for a curry 40tl is over the top. never eaten in mcdonalds. try rewarding the forum people who support you and not overcharge

Hi Boro as a matter of interest how much do you charge for your lobster and oysters. Do you have to go to the trouble to get them as we do here in the trnc. Im so pleased your frequent many restaurants here god knows we all need help as their is so many for the same small slice. Ou theme nights are always 3 starters 3 main courses and 3 deserts . We recently had a take away from Jashans cost 57tl for 2 curries. . I take your point but everybody has a choice xxx

trncpheonix dont understand your post. lillie all our lobster comes in live we retail them around £25 with all the trimmings for a 2kg lobster. we order the night befor for next day delivery and all our food sourced. all our fillet is hung for 4 to 5 weeks. we have a nice saying on the top of our menu which many of our competitors have copied but would not mind if you did WE DONT SERVE FAST FOOD WE SERVE FRESH QUALITY FOOD AS FAST AS WE CAN. please be patient

Message 85 - you rent a villa for 6 months every year at £500 per month? A short while ago you posted on here that you rent a villa for 6 months every year at £400 per month. Blimey, we've all been hit by inflation but .......................

to prepare a lobster take about 30 minutes of your chef time cost to 8-9 pounds. in 33 years in catering i never seen anybody serve a 2 kilo lobster. minimum price of lobster per kilo if you buy a large quantity is between 7 to 9 pounds per kilo. 2kilo 14-16 pounds. plus the waiter to serve it plus electric water rent etc.etc.

8+14(minimum)= 22 pounds + exp. that means you loose a minimum of 5-7 pouds every time you serve a lobster. if i was you i'll take it off the menu. just basic matamatic. i now know why you think my dinner it's dear to you.

Excuse me Guido , but do you have to justify your business management here to all and sundry ? , i think not ! . Anyone that has eaten at your Bistro will know the quality of the food served and supurb service you give, along with showing such an interest in each and every one of your customers , you don't have to explain anything to anyone .

You take care , Pat x

You must have been a 'plasterer' because you are totally off your head, too many Tetleys affecting your brain cell bank in logical thinking?! A 2 Kilo lobster or cray is on boarder line that when cooked will chew like old boots! Too old! If your business is so successful in a cash flow, hands on environment how can you walk away for 5 months of the year and it's still worth £500,000? Doubt it very much in the present financial climate. Sorry, is that chicken, Lamb, or pork I can smell?...........no it's bullshit!

I notice 'borodave' has not responded, mind you the first half of his code name could to be mistaken for 'borrow....'!



Okay, question which Guido is not allowed to answer; The grading and classification of oysters please! Any self respecting crustacean and shellfish trader should know this. Answer on a postcard please! I'll give the answer later.

Oyster answer:- From the very best, 00, 0, 01, 02, 03, 04, and I think the oysters I had at Guido's were natives. Doesn't really matter whether I'm right or wrong I'll still loose at chess!
