Review of Masala Zone

Hectic zone 
I went here last night with five friends because it can be quite daunting to try and find a good and at the same time reasonably priced curry in town. Turns out Masala Zone is the perfect solution to this problem.
The grand thalis on the silver platter come with rice and chapattis, two veg dishes, dhal, indian salad, rhaita, an indian canape and a curry of your choice from the main menu.
The only reason I am not rating this restaurant with another star was the service. One of our friends was a little late and we had ordered some wine and told our waitress that we would be waiting until she arrived to order food.
In the end we did order without her, only after having at least five different waiters ask us whether we wanted to order and, yes, five times we had to literally fend them off.
At one stage we counted no less than 14 staff runing around like headless chickens when one probably only would have needed half that.
However, the food was gorgeous and very very reasonably priced. If are looking for a quiet night out don't go here as it's loud and a little chaotic but after a few glasses of wine you'll probably not notice anymore.

Review of 100 Club

Legendary 
Half of the people who end up here these days probably don't know how history laden this basement establishment they are setting foot in actually is.
Although it's nothing special when you see it pretty empty, the really wide low and wide stage must be wicked to play on whether you're a massive band going back to your roots or a newbie starting off with just an acoustc guitar in tow.
It can get a bit tricky getting from from side to the other when it's (i.e the bar to the toilets) busy but the atmosphere at some of the best gigs you'll ever experience will make up for that.
Just pee in your pants, it's SO rock 'n' roll.

Review of Cafe Emm

Great place (if you don't mind a queue) 
This restaurant has been consistently good for as long as I can remember so they must be doing something right.
Competition in this area of Soho is hardly scarce and their really simple menu which includes classics such as Spaghetti with (huge) meatballs, fishcake and lamb shank can't be faulted. Especially for the price.
They also do a great lunchtime menu so get on their mailing list to keep up to date with new offers.
The only bad thing I have to say about Cafe Emm is that they don't let you reserve a table so you could find yourself queuing for a while on a busy night.
