An ode to a very special dish
Ingredients tossed, herbs flung, sauces ladled, pans clatter
Customers are watching wide eyed as they catch up and natter
Delicious aromas fill the kitchen, made up of wonderful spices, dishes simmer
It’s Abdul’s on a weeknight and we’re waiting for our dinner
It’s not long now until our orders will be ready, served onto the plates
We have to watch as the chef swirls the authentic mix in the pan, a delicious concoction he creates
A hot, medium, or there’s mild if that’s the option for you
It’s not long now until we can enjoy each tasty mouthful, along with a chapatti or two
The saviour of our dinner time, the hero of the hour
We wonder if this authentic chef realises that over others he does tower
We have it in our hands, the order that we’ve watched being made
And now to the table, fork in hand, there’s not a second left to waste
It’s all over; a fulfilling and warm feeling in the tummy
There’s only one word to describe this mid-week delicacy and that’s truly scrummy
Promises of authentic dishes, with sides and salads too
There was no disappointment in this house – the promises were all true
So if you want authentic, with spices, herbs and tasty sauce
Get yourself to Abdul’s, you can choose one, two or three course
There is something for the fussy, the foodies and curry fans
Be sure that you get there early, so an Abdul’s can feature in your dinner plans!
