Thanks Tony, I picked up a menu from them the other day so will give that a go. I have eaten at LA Bar before and liked it. I keep convincing my Bajen mates to watch Bajen away games there but..

Its really cool that Årsta has such a good choice of eateries!

Ah yes I keep forgetting you lived in Årsta.

It was just really nice to see a real Indian menu, it was like seeing old friends again, even a Chicken Rezalla on the menu.

Sorry to hear about Cassi, I really enjoyed my biff hache so surprised to read that. It seemed pretty busy as well, its a stones throw from the office so will probably give it a spin another time and report back.

1000 SEK and disappointed is not good.

Shane, I know that Indian very well ….. it was the wifes favorite when we lived in Arsta, and yes it is a proper indian.

Cassi used to be my favorite haunt in Stockholm, as the food was great and the staff are always super nice. Unfortunately about 2 years ago they started seriously cutting back on the size of portions and 3 good thickness’ of meat became 3 thin pieces of meat (we are not talking cheap lunch menus) …. which I can understand is due to economics, but still it would have been better to keep the meat thick and reduce to 2 pieces to maintain the texture and taste.

Then the quality started to go on top of that, and the last few times I have been there I have been very disappointed. Yes the fries are legendary, but thats all that keeps the plates interesting nowadays.

The last time I was there, the oxfile was awful. (grisly and cheap)
And the wife and kids food wasn’t great either and defiantly not worth close to 1000:- // We all left very disappointed which is a shame as they used to do really nice food, but I expect the latest downturn in quality has more to do with cost savings over anything else and I cant see it getting any better . So from now on, its only puddings (fika) for me if I am there.

I miss the old cassi.
