It is probable that most West
London residents past and present have dined at the Star of India. If you have
you know the star of India himself. Reza has always been larger than life and a
star in the restaurant. When I first went to the Star it had, if my memory
serves me correctly, red flock wallpaper. When Reza took over the front of
house he got rid of that old fashioned look and brought in the new. In October
2006 I went to the Star but it was closed for redecoration. Dash and bother, as
I wanted a quote from Reza about his new book.
It is a colourful portrail of
Reza; his cooking and his life. Like Reza himself it is gay and fun. It was in
the Star that I first had really superb Indian cuisine, that chef has left and
started his own restaurant.
He says that you must read
Reza
