Welcome back to Cheltenham! You’re missing the extreme Texas heat,but we had some nice days,today is rainy. That Indian afternoon tea looks and sounds lovely,I’ll have to treat myself!
I live in Cheltenham and this is a fantastic restaurant and bar. Not tried their afternoon tea but had their evening meals which are excellent. Also have very smart toilets!
Indian afternoon tea is new to me too- despite me living in city with a very high South Asian population. I'd love to tery something like that for a chang from good old British afternoon tea! Thanks for sharing!
Welcome back, Dara and Ian! The food looked delicious at the "Tiffin." 😁😁 Wouldn't have called it that either! Sounds like it was great. But wait, there's 4 of you and 8 thumbs! 🤣🤣
What a feast. Fabulous introduction to your 2024 adventures. What a luxurious and exciting Afternoon Tea. Food for thought. Looking forward to being back in the northern hemisphere. Wishing there will be no jet lag though. Happy days ahead Dara. 💖 and Ian 💖! 🙋♀️🥝
Indian Afternoon Tea? SOLD. ❤ incredible quality and presentation. A very filling and tasty afternoon tea. We have tried fish and chip afternoon tea and savoury afternoon tea, this has to be next..
@@MagentaOtterTravelsi think jilly covered our fish and chips afternoon tea on the now retired Generation Xperiences channel, it was our Valentines treat ❤
Welcome back to the UK for "summer". Who knew that you could have Indian Afternoon Tea - but it looked delicious. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to over the next few months
What a fabulous treat! Love the interior of the lounge, so very beautiful and elegant! Ooo Indian Momos - they are delicious!! This all looked super yummy and i really like the twist they have done on the British afternoon tea! Fabulous!
I’ve never had Indian food or high tea. This really appealed to me savory high tea vs the sweets. Everything looked delicious! Welcome home Dara & Ian 💖~Cara
That looked really delicious. Michelin mentioned too I noticed. I think that is an afternoon tea I could really go for. Although traditional cucumber sandwiches and cakes do have a certain appeal too. Not with tea though. A massive iced coffee with ice cream and cream instead.
Wow that looked amazing. We need to come across and try that for sure. Welcome back to Glorious Gloucestershire. Maybe we can catch up soon and have a wander together. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Welcome back! Are you not sick of the rain yet!! The weather been awful (how British was that - 2nd sentence and it's the weather!!). Oo tastes like Christmas! wills is in! The food looks delicious. Good to hear your opinions. It did look amazing. Cheers 🍻
You guys need to pick up some delightful Welsh accents like Terry and Emma! Aren't they great? You are being very British talking about the weather! It was rainy the day we arrived, but then we had several days of nonstop sun and warm weather, so we mustn't grumble! 😊
Wow, I hope you get back into town soon! The restaurant is at the end of the municipal building... the end near the prom not near the Neptune fountain.
Delirious Dara, made my day Welcome back to England, enjoy your stay That Indian was posh Mighty fine nosh I'll try it one day (If I save enough dosh!) 😁
Hiya Dara, I've never had Indian Tea before, I have to say, Americanisms that annoy British People is going up 100 views by the week, I've still only watched it twice, when I was in New York I thought it was time to get up at 3AM, for the first couple of days, I'm glad your back, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
What an interesting concept, I was impressed by the portion sizes, that would have been lunch not afternoon tea! I'm a total wimp when it comes to spicy Indian (or any other type of spicy food) I tend to ask for not much spice, a grain will do!
After two days we are usually over jet lag. Feeling great now! That restaurant is very upscale Indian food. They do have evening meals, but they are a bit pricey. We wanted to try the "afternoon tea" because a friend recommended it and it sounded creative and unique 👍👍
You must have been absolutely exhausted! Perhaps not the best thing to do after getting off a long flight? The salmon looked excellent. A distinct Bengali influence in that lot? Namoshkar, Didi/Appa and Dada/Bhaiar-ji.
We WERE tired, since we don't sleep on the overnight flight!! But honestly I love food so much, it helped me stay awake. And we were so excited to see our friends! But FILMING was possibly a mistake... since I was looopy! haha
Must admit, I've never had an Indian afternoon tea. And like probably most English, I've never been out for a 'regular' afternoon tea either! (Just teasin') Must admit, I am slightly jealous of your current lifestyle, but I imagine you've both worked hard over the years to achieve it.
I have talked to many English people who have not been to a full-blown afternoon tea. I think it's definitely a touristy thing that Americans love to do, and English people don't do as often as we Americans imagine! Lol
Hi Dara, it's one of the other Ian's. Why would you decide to arrive back in the UK on the Friday and go out with your friends in a few hours? Me personally having travelled back and forth over the pond many times I'd want 24 hours minimum to begin my recovery 😆
They were very sweet friends who had just driven our car an hour and a half to meet us at the bus stop. We wanted to thank them. And I wanted to eat out since our flat had NO food in it! It actually helps keep me awake to eat... but trying to film was a bit ridiculous! haha
Haddock chips and mushy peas , with bread and butter and served with breakfast tea…please..with a plastic fork on the grarse in Montpellier gardens..real griswald touchdown fayre..
@@MagentaOtterTravels well I don’t ask for much, nothing in fact…but come on, what harm could a pukka cheesey butty do ? but it could seamint our joshing wouldn’t it..?
your American is showing, calling it Indian Afternoon Tea. us Brits call it Tiffin, from the days of the Empire. I hope you remembered to put the toilet paper in the fridge after eating spicy food. lol
@@MagentaOtterTravels Tiffin? I have a recipe for Tiffin in one of Maw Broon's cookbooks. It has golden syrup, biscuits, cocoa and two kinds of chocolate in it. 🍫😁
That's not how you pronounce Memsahib. It's more like Memsarb. The 'i' is silent. That tea looked good. After reading Maw Broon's Afternoon Tea book I think she would call it High Tea, not Afternoon Tea, but as my mother would say, 'It all goes down the same way.' I think the jam on the dessert is mixed fruit consisting of Strawberries, Litchis and Red Plum which makes a naturally coloured deep red jam. I've never seen Bombay Mix in a meal before. I've only seen it as a snack on its own. Your jetlag is exactly how I felt the day I met both of you for a meal. 😴 💤😂 Hearing the Welsh accents has reminded me that Dolly Parton has found out from a TV programme that her ancestors were Welsh.
Dara & Ian. Yes it’s called Tiffin. Your pronunciation of Memsahib’s. isn’t quite right. Unfortunately its not phonetic. The sahib is more like sarb. A Memsahib was often referred to the English leader or man in charge and often sounded like “Memsarb”. In Bombay and other cities the locals have deliveries of lunch either hot home made or bought in, boxes or tins called Tiffin Boxes. A great video however. Hope you liked spicy food. Your friends sound really Welsh, their accents are definitely Welsh!
The one thing you can be sure of is that I will slaughter the pronunciation of things! 🤣 If you go to the Memsahib website, they say how to pronounce it and it is not how I said it nor what you were saying! 🤷♀️ Having Terry and Emma's delightful accents redeems the video! I absolutely ADORE hearing them speak!!! 🥰🥰
I@@MagentaOtterTravels I was in British Colonial Kenya in 1960 (yes I am old enough) and the Africans used to call me Memsahib. - pronounced MEMSARB. It refers to a white lady of the house. Not a male as one of your commentators said.
A lovely tiffin indeed!!
Looks so delicious nicely prepared yummy yummy yummy yummy
It was!
Dara! You’re back and we are so happy to have you here! It was an honour to share this experience with you both, a first for us too! Great review 😘
YOU gave a great review! And your and Emma's Welsh accents are fan favourites! Thank you for delivering our car to us 🩷🙏

What a great start to the summer of eating. Looked amazing!

We plan to go to the Signet Library in Edinburgh, thanks to you!
@@MagentaOtterTravels oh hooray! You are going to love it!

Their non alcoholic cocktails are great

You definitely need traditional afternoon teas in the world. But it's nice to mix it up with something new occasionally as well ;-)

I always thought Texans liked spicy food. Pleased your back home lets hope we have a good summer.
Haha I'm not really a Texan 🤠 ... Roll on summer! ☀️

Mighty fine nosh

(If I save enough dosh!)

Love that! Cheers!
