Visiting the Vijaya Krishna Restaurant.
Hello and welcome, to a new event listed on the The Tooting Curry Club! We all know that the group has been quiet here for a while, with the testing times we've had recently. Now's the time to start the process of getting the group up and running again, and what a better way than to start afresh with a Curry house which is in touching distance of Tooting Station. This restaurant has been serving food for a number of years now, and this will be a perfect opportunity to join together and eat some authentic curry dishes. So I look forward to inviting you to this new event, for a flavoursome time out.
