The Coconut Tree, Finchley Central, N3

This is an Indian restaurant and bar which is more of a bar than a restaurant and after being collared by a drunk youth at the bar I gleaned that the old regulars from The Central, which was this bars last name, still drink here. There are five or so plasma screens for sports and music channels and there is also a pool table in the corner which makes this place like no other curry house I have ever been in. The staff were pleasant enough and a selection of standard draught lager is available alongside Guinness, which was good. I think that this place has an identity crisis and it will end up just the same as its previous incarnation.
