Flock wallpaper, the wall covering of choice for curry house owners back in the 1970s and 80s, is a whole less common these days.

So much so that its lack of availability has delayed the opening of Ruby Murray's, an Indian restaurant that was scheduled to open in Acocks Green last month but it still a couple of weeks away from compleition.

I bumped into its owner Tariq last night when I popped into his other restaurant, Deolali in Moseley, with my 20-year-old son for a pint or two and a meal.

Look out for a new curry house soon to open in Acocks Green under the name of Ruby Murray's (it's rhyming slang in case you didn't guess).

The restaurant is the latest venture of Tariq and Lynne, who run the stylish Deolali located in a space once occupied by an architectural antiques firm in Moseley.
