Dining Out: Sizzling Palate

Over the weekend I was in Bolton for a wedding and on Saturday night went out with a few family friends to a restaurant called Sizzling Palate located in Bolton Town Centre. I didn't manage to get a picture of my outfit, but plenty of pictures of the food. Instead of boring you with words, I'll just show you what delicious food we ate!

Steak Knife and Fork!

Strawberry Mojito mocktail

Raspberry Mojito mocktail

Tandoori Mixed Grill starter

Main courses (Sizzlers) and a selection of sauces. One is chicken and the other is prawn.

Steak Sizzlers (both are actually two different items on the menu, although they look the same)

Sizzling Palate Special Steak Sizzler

Portions were large, so each Sizzler was shared between two of us. They basically contained meat/chicken/prawn with servings of chips, rice and noodles (or pasta), and grilled vegetables. The food was great and I did like that the food was served on hot iron plates (hence the name Sizzling Palate). There was a range of other dishes available but we went for the classic sizzlers. Was definitely a good night out in the rather quiet town of Bolton! If anyone's planning to go, I would definitely recommend booking a table because it was very busy!

Anyone know of some good restaurants in the Northern part of England?

Dining Out - Maedah Grill

After TOWIB on Saturday, my family and I went out for a meal with family friends to Maedah Grill, which is a restaurant in Whitechapel specialising in Turkish and Middle Eastern Cuisine. Maedah Grill is HMC approved and is located just behind East London Mosque on Fieldgate Street. It does get pretty busy at times and it's always best to book a table (we always do!). They also have curtained-off rooms available, which makes it perfect for those who want a little more privacy when eating. I have to say that when we do go out to eat as a family, Maedah Grill is one restaurant that we frequently visit (although we don't go out to eat often).

Unfortunately this time around, I didn't take pictures of all the food that was ordered, only a few of the main dishes, but it did taste great! We ordered a variety of starters, inlcluding the Maedah Mezze (cold starters), Lahmacun (Turkish flat pizza) and Chicken wings (coated in breadcrumbs). They also provide you with fresh bread and sauces (a yoghurt mint one and a hot chilli sauce) to accompany your meal. For mains we each ordered something different and a few of the dishes can be seen in the pictures below =)
