Auckland Thursday Night Curry

Celebrating 10 Years - July 2002 - 2012

When and Where

Date: 23 May 2013 Time: 7pm

Venue: Little India, Auckland CBD.

Auckland Thursday Night Curry is held every 2nd Thursday. Restaurant changes each time, usually somewhere in central Auckland (eg Mt Eden, Parnell, Ponsonby). We return to our favourite locations often.

Anyone is welcome to attend, especially if you agree to the AUP aka "rules". We usually get around 6 to a dozen each time. Most of the regulars work in IT, especially within internet network operations and bring their friends and/or partners along. Average price of each meal has been approx $26 recently, with a range of $25-$35.

The first Auckland Thursday Night Curry was on 4 July 2002 at Shahi Cafe Herne Bay, Auckland. We celebrated our 8th anniversary on 8 July 2010 at Simla, Mt Eden, Auckland.

There are some rules to ThursdayNightCurry.

We really need an idea of numbers so we can inform the restaurant. If you're coming, please email let Lin Nah know.
