BUG dinner
Tonight we will dine at Gulati’s Restaurant at 23 Harrington Square, Maidstone Street, Altona, right opposite the Westona Railway station. This restaurant is Indian cuisine and comes highly recommended by local food critics, Carol, Jen and myself. They have a reasonable wine list, but you can also BYO wine if you wish. The booking is for 7.00 pm. Please let me know by email as soon as possible if you are going to join us so that I can confirm our booking. Hope to see you all there.
