Wot, and do something we fail to do! ;o)
Searching before posting is great, but better to post away rather than be put off by having to do a search!
Never mind, the speculation about the last place hooks me in. Going by:
- the bargainous price of the caipirinhas
- the amount of delicious food provided for not-very-much cash
- the cheapo non-refurbishment of the premises
- the lack of people dining there whenever I was there
I'd say they sadly went bust. Which was distressing, as their Brazilian stroganoff was promising to become my new official comfort food. The refurb with a new, welcoming facade and a clear name that Rania's have done was essential (and hopefully may change their fortunes, otherwise this may happen, in a Harringay kind of way: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/04/nyregion/04restaurant.html
However if the presence of an Iranian chef at the new place means there'll be Persian stews, I'll be very, very cheered up.
Certainly none of us objected to the battalions of chefs, sous-chefs, maitres d', waiters, garcons, hangers-on and family jewellers & hairdressers armed to the teeth a fortnight ago.
I hear that the tented interior of the Rania is just an elaborately covert home-from-home for Muammar Q'adhafi, due in Q'arrinq'ay this weekend.
