Kami (Kamran) of Kami's restaurant in Hills Road, Cambridge.

I was walking along Hills Road this afternoon when Kami ambushed me! He then dragged me into his restaurant and asked what I was doing in his neck of the woods. I had just been to the dentist (ouch!) I told him. He offered all sorts of things, which, sadly I had to refuse on the blasted dentist's orders. "Next time!" I promised:-)

Anyway, here he is looking all relaxed as we chatted. I've known him ever since he's had Kami's, and that's going back ten years. In fact, I have known this place when it used to be Ali Baba's (Arab run) and Sultan's (Turkish run) before that (twenty odd years back). Kami has just sold his business and is planning to open a proper Persian restaurant in Cambridge. "With a proper tanoor (oven) and genuine Iranian menu," I joked. Of course!

He's checked out space at the newly opened Grand Arcade in the city centre but it is way to expensive to run a business from there. I think Cambridge city centre will be dominated only by the big players from now. Sad! No wonder all our city centres are all looking the same. Kami's other problem is one of staff. If he's to open an authentic Persian restaurant he's going to need real chefs from Iran. And that means a struggle with the Home Office. I wish him good luck with his new venture.

Explore: May 8, 2008 #250. This is Samantha's (sjb5) photo and I fancied doing a crop and minor tweakings of her orginal, which is a beautiful capture and perfect as it is: www.flickr.com/photos/sjb5/2456502079/ . This is merely to show that there are pictures within pictures. Cropping is personal taste, too:-)
