Dinner at Diamond Indian and Hungarian $20 deposit required
Dinner at Diamond Indian and Hungarian $20 deposit required
Diamond Cuisine presents a double feature menu. One is Indian; the other? Hungarian. Weird, but go with it. Two menus - one Indian and the other Hungarian โ€“ don't immediately strike the average diner as necessarily harmonious. But locals have been quick to see (and taste) what has made sense to chef and restaurateur Sukhjinder Singh for quite some time. Why not join us in Clifton Hill for your choice of Indian, or Hungarian or both! Check out their menu. https://indianhungarian.com.au/ See you there! A $20 non refundable deposit is required for this event and will be refunded on the night. The deposit will be required 48 hours from RSVPing to the event or you will be moved removed from the event. Please make payment to the following account only if you are on the going list. BSB 013125 Account 150808654 Please let me know once payment is made. PLEASE USE YOUR NAME AND VENUE AS YOUR REFERENCE. Please only RSVP to an event if you fully intend to show. Pulling out of a dinner or another booked event (with a venue) on the day is a kick in the teeth for both the venue and the organiser. I understand there are instances where this is unavoidable, but you are short changing the venue on the revenue they are reliant upon, especially when it comes to paying their staff. It may be too late to rebook those tables with other patrons. Not to mention the stress this puts the organisers under. Please be considerate.

Akmal & Dinner @ Imperial Hotel (both optional) on Good Friday
Akmal & Dinner @ Imperial Hotel (both optional) on Good Friday
Ok so it's Good Friday so there's basically nothing on. So come along to see Akmal (with his show My Family and Other Criminals) which starts at 9pm at Athaneum Theatre 2 (188 Collins Street Melbourne) after dinner at Imperial Hotel (2-8 Bourke Street Melbourne) at 6.30pm (both optional.) So firstly dinner at Imperial Hotel with a table booked under Andrew Goodwin (ph: 0424453134) at 6.30pm. Here is a copy of the menu. [https://www.canva.com/design/DAHDg7ygM8I/l1OcHFVPF_RUceD_jv4iAQ/view?utm_content=DAHDg7ygM8I&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h55e7ca8ba5](https://www.canva.com/design/DAHDg7ygM8I/l1OcHFVPF_RUceD_jv4iAQ/view?utm_content=DAHDg7ygM8I&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h55e7ca8ba5) Then about 8.30 we can either walk or catch a tram to see Akmal at Athaneum Theatre 2 which starts at 9pm. Akmal returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival sharing stories and thoughts about people who affected his life. Like his uncle, who pretended to be a doctor for many years by skipping medical school and simply buying a stethoscope and a white coat. Or his Coptic priest (who he confessed all his sins to) who was also the local exorcist. Ironically, he was found to have several demons inside him. Or his millionaire uncle who, when visiting the Salehs, gave himself an enema using the family garden hose (we never drank out of that hose again). In *My Family and Other Criminals* you will meet these lovable but crazy characters and much more! ***'Akmalโ€™s comedic prowess shines brightly throughout the show. It will leave you both entertained and enlightened, with a newfound appreciation for the absurdities of life.'* ArtsHub** ***'His playful banter had everyone in stitches, and his ability to circle back to earlier jokes with perfectly timed callbacks showcased his impressive comedic agility.'* Fringefeed** Here is a link to buy tickets which are $49 plus booking fee. **PLEASE BUY TICKETS ASAP AS THERE ARE ONLY 50 TICKETS PER SHOW.** [https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/akmal-my-family-and-other-criminals-melbourne-03-04-2026/event/13006375AF4F8A3D](https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/akmal-my-family-and-other-criminals-melbourne-03-04-2026/event/13006375AF4F8A3D) Event cohosted by Martin Carr. So Imperial Hotel very close to Parliament Station for dinner and Atheneum Theatre 2 very close to Town Hall Station if just coming to Akmal. Likely to be plenty of parking around the general area on Good Friday too. PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS ON MULTIPLE GROUPS.

Arthouse Friday: THE DRAMA at the Drexel Theatre!
Arthouse Friday: THE DRAMA at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoรซ Winters. QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasnโ€™t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves! ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolanโ€™s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuveโ€™s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas! TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk) PLAN: Weโ€™ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan
