The Delaford Arms household recently embarked on an adventure to The Big Easy on Kings Road in the Borough of Chelsea to fare thee well a dear flat mate.
We decided on the 'All you can eat Fajhita' night as our feast of choice.
We wandered through the main door to dark yet dimmed light surrounding of what seemed an American style fiesta.The scene was a buzzing atmosphere full of happy people with mountains of food in the small spaces surrounding them. My eyes were drawn to those lucky enough to be donned in 'crab' bibs and greasy mitts from their tucker. To my excitement, I turned out to be one of those people also...
We sat down in our close proximity table for 6, luckily there was only four of your to start with as there was really not enough room to put the whole six of us especially when the feast came out. Note to self: book a table for more people than you are expecting that way you are bound to get more room. Excellent.
We didn't have a moment to peruse the menu too intensely as my other half jumped the gun and pretty much ordered his first round of fajitas as soon as we sat down. We ordered our complimentary margarita and a beer for the boys. The first round came out in next to no time, very impressive. Someone had ordered the mix straight up which was a smart choice, that way you get steak, chicken and prawns (sorry cos they're American so its shrimp) in the one go. Amateurs like myself who order one choice of meat to begin with seemingly felt a bit disappointing compared to the mix. Not to worry though your lovely waiter is in hand to pick up your look of disappointment on your face and says brightly "you want some shrimp too?" oh hell yeah I want some prawns (sorry shrimp) and they too come out in a fast fashion.
The best was eating the prawns in the kebab stick by themselves, however I was even more impressed that when you ordered beef for your fajitas its not just beef, its a awesome juicy piece of steak almost too good to even put in a fajita. Needless to say we ate till we were full as bulls and pretty much rolled ourselves back to flat. Most of us were not hungry the next day and when you put it down to £14.95 all you can eat and a margarita its a bloody good deal and we will definitely be back to don the crab bibs again. Next time maybe all you can eat lobster?!!!
