Afghanistan Pop Up @ The Fallow Deer – Saturday 22 June
Blind Tiger is back in Teddington with another pop-up night at local café, The Fallow Deer.

This weekend will take diners to Afghanistan, with dishes like mantu dumplings, various rice dishes, and for dessert, an Afghan custard known as firni.
One diner at the pop-up's recent Taiwan night said: "[It's] impossibly exciting coming to something that is here right now and gone tomorrow."
Pick-up and dine-in options are both available at The Fallow Deer, 130 High Street, Teddington. Dishes must be preordered by 7pm on Friday, 21 June.

Shambles says customers are able to get as involved as they would like with the tasting, adding: "It's an informal tasting with friendly people, sharing their skills and love for 'Classic Method' wines".
Diners must order from the restaurant's seasonal main menu to be eligible. Please contact Shambles for more information.
