Dicken’s bar reminded me of The Canny Man when I went down the stairs.
I came to this place especially for the Indian curry buffet, which is sadly only available on weekdays.
Surprisingly even on a Monday there were many reservations.
Set out like the typical gastropubs in Hong Kong, they also had carriage seating similar to the Canny Man, but I felt the carriage seating at the Canny Man was done up nicer.

The staffs there were very attentive and the patrons were well dressed.
The lunch buffet costs $168 per person including a soft drink.
It has the usual salads and breads.

The soup of the day was Beef Goulash.
Similar to Delaney’s they had a carvery there with roast potatoes.
As well as curry I was there for the Fish and Chips, the chips need to be specially requested.
The chips were not bad, crisp and golden on the outside and liquid in the middle.
The curry was good as expected with the accompanying naan breads, raita, cucumber sauce and yogurt.
There was my favourite tandoori chicken and pakora.
The beef goulash soup was really good too, it tasted like chili con carne with juicy beef cubes in it.
The Indian tomato soup was nice with a hint of spice.

Dessert was also good too. I wish I had tried everything.
I ended up trying the carrot cake, which was moist and not too sweet.
 Then I tried the pudding, which was rich and creamy and tasted better than I expected.

The pudding had a physalis berry which I have never tried before and that tasted good too, it was similar to a tomato but with a slight bitterness and many tiny seeds inside.
