Tandoori Nights update for our dear customers !


Recommended Posts

Hi East Dulwich forum, on behalf of my father Munir Hassan and the team at Tandoori nights a heartfelt thank you for the outporing of support,concern and love from all you wonderful loyal east dulwichers!


It has been a really difficult few months for my dad. After 25 years of uniterrupted trading on the Lane thia awful incident has seen the business closed for the last 3 months whilst we waited for the insurance company to agree the works. I am pleased and relieved in equal amounts to let you all know that the remidial works have begun and we hope to be back bigger and brighter than ever sometime towards the end of January.


I will update via this site regarding the progress of the works, and we can let you know what the plans are for the re-opening date. The builders are cracking on at a great pace and we really cant wait to get dad back to what he enjoys the most, serving you good people the food he loves ! If you see him on the deck please do stop and say hi, it means the world to him , and us . You guys are awesome !


Much Love


Tariq ( and Munir)

The Tandoori Nights returns and so with it comes the restoration of my faith for high quality curry on the lane once more. Your father has created quite the curryhouse I must say, my friends and I look forward to seeing him and his STAFF at the TN.


This update has made me very happy, very happy indeed.


Thanks you Tariq.

A friend and I went for our regular Surma curry outing last night. It was disappointing and lots of things seemed to have slipped e.g. Completely empty apart from two hard of hearing elderly men next to us who bellowed about their bowels all night, a tv going in the background, the only 2 staff who talked over us and passed food over our conversation, they then opened the main front door so it was freezing and stared at us non stop from the counter around 10pm after the other 2 had left until we finally gave in and left. Tandoori here we come next time.

I went to Surma a few weeks back.. as Dulwich Tandoori and Memsaab were both rammed full. 21.00

I was The only customer in there. Food was stone cold on a cold plate. No food heaters were available.


I complained and got no appology. I did not finish my food. in fact I left most of it.

I suggested a complimentary Liquour might be appropriate. I was told if you spend ?20.00 you get a complimentary drink.

I said well I have just paid ?17.50 for food I could not eat.


I said look your restaurant is empty. Other restaurants are full. Why do you think that is.?

I was told by the Elderly Owner not to come back as he did not want MY Type in his restaurant.


I suggested to him not to be rude to me as I am never rude to Asian/Muslim people. and I am well liked and welcome

in all other Local Asian restaurants. I eat in them 3-4 times a week.


The Surma continues to be empty every night when other Indian outlets are full

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
