Angel57 Posted July 3 #26 Share Posted July 3 I ate in Sindhu on Iona a few weeks ago. The menu was different to Aurora and imo, not as good, but I still enjoyed it very much. I got the 20% off. I also ate in the Beach House and had the fajitas which were absolutely yummy. I like the lava steak but 10oz is far too big and I wish they did a smaller option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A poster on another forum said he and his wife shared a 10oz lava steak on Aurora recently, only paying one supplement, but no idea if they could have had a second main course as well. We will maybe have to wait for @TigerB 's next cruise to find that out.😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheek of it!😯 Well, I suppose if the cap fits!😉 I certainly won't be sharing a steak with our lass; I don't eat meat. That poster and his missus though would have been entitled to another main; after all, they have paid for three courses each. If they thought they were perhaps saving money by splitting the steak, paying the one supplement, and foregoing the other main, suggests to me they're not from Yorkshire!😉 Edited July 3 by TigerB 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normally pretty full, so is quite popular. What's your favourite speciality restaurant ?. The smell of the fat burning on the lava stones turns my stomach. The greasy smoke makes my eyes stream constantly and, the ratatouille type vegetables swimming in oil are awful. I've been twice on two different ships and my reaction has been the same. I've tried Epicurean, Sindhu and The Limelight Club. Thought The Epicurean was gimmicky enjoyed Sindhu and can't remember the food in The Limelight Club. None of them were worth paying extra for.

I don't like over hot dishes, but I do prefer some sort of spicy flavour. This was our take. Just bland ordinary food. We were thankful we hadnt paid for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go in early and always hope that nearby tables don't order it. We did try it once when we dined outdoors and enjoyed it, but won't be ordering it inside, ever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely an occasion to wear something you don't intend to wear again, or is going in the laundry. When our lass has it I ask to be seated eight tables away.😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s the smell of fat from steak on lava stones - how times have changed! 🤣🤣😮💨 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the Lava Rock thing is a pain,tried it once & it just reminded us how long it seems when you are waiting for your food to cook,not only that but we didn't pay all that money to do the cooking myself,what next...The washing up!😆😆 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
