Well it should be judging by their prices..

Which probably explains why they do not display their Menu and prices in the window.


I had thought it was a Legal Requirement for Restaurants to display the menu or part of it in the window door

or in a suitable frame outside the premises so that customers have an idea as to how much they

might be expected to pay.

Fiver for a Main Course (Indian) ???

Where might that be ? back in 2005 ?


I pay around ?22.00 for a Curry with rice and a small beer. But I am not going to pay ?35.00 for the same meal

Yeah, I think it used to be... certainly back in the day everywhere seemed to do it, but doesn't seem to be the case these days.


I've never been convinced TN is anything remarkable, but in it's favour, the food was always much less greasy than the other curry houses on LL. The lack of indigestion always counted for something.

Hi Foxy, I think it was a requirement to display near the entry to the premises but maybe no longer. I think the legislation now talks about not misleading at the point of sale. Obviously very helpful for a passing punter if they have an idea before they go in and fill their faces though.

When Tandoori Nights first opened, if memory serves their USP was that they used organic ingredients, and that seemed to be why their prices at the time were higher than other local Indian restaurants.


I don't know if that is still the case?

Finally went back to Tandoori Nights for the first time in Many Years..


Owner welcomed me as we often have a chat outside.

Mentioned prices were Very expensive and he replied Yes because of the quality.


Well, at 10.00pm none of the tables were laid. No Cutlery, no candles, no salt & pepper.

Just bare white table cloths.


I Ordered poppadoms (no chutney) Chicken Madras, Pilau Rice and plain Naan well done.


Food warmer came then a serving plate which was stone cold. Rice was cold. Naan was warm at the very best

Not well done but hard solid disc. Worst Naan ever.

Curry was tiny and I'm a small eater. Madras ?? ?9.95 had No flavour and no spice. not slightly Hot (spice)

Curry was also cold and I did try to warm it up on the tea light in the food warmer.

They were not happy when I asked for water as I was not willing to pay ?6.40 for 660ml Kingfisher.


I told the owner I was disappointed and he did reduce the price from ?16.70 ish to ?15.00 but I paid the full

price and paid a couple of quid tip cos that's the sort of thing I do.


I even asked if they do delivery but the don't. I asked about Take Away but they do not do that either.

You can call them and collect the food when it's ready.


10.00pm on a Saturday night Me and 2 other customers that were leaving.

I think the message is getting through.

ETA tried Tandoori Nights because Dulwich Tandoori and Memsaab were Full to capacity. No seats.

My meal was poor.


I make curry. Below is My homemade madras.

It is cold in the picture. I would normally reheat and add Fresh Coriander .





I do not use Curry Paste or shop bought sauces. My Madras is made from scratch with No Base sauce.

I tell you it is good

Sounds like i will avoid Tandoori Nights. I always use Memsaab, and if that is full there will be plenty of other choices nearby i will try instead.


Giving the answer of 'higher quality' or 'organic' ingredients to justify higher prices than their rivals is likely to be pure nonsense, although i realise some people will take that on face value, for some strange reason.

Best Indian.


Don?t believe Dulwich Fox?s review, seems he has a chip on his shoulder for some reason. I have used tandoori nights before and since re-opening. Food has always been top 1.

Dulwich fox previously tried to claim ?35 for a curry rice and small beer. No idea how he calculated that one!!!

I also think 6.40 for a 660ml beer is probably the norm, that?s more than a pint. So seems about right.

He mentioned that they don?t do delivery, or takeaway, but you can call and collect. Yeah that?s take away mate. Nothing like a bit of support for your local community.

Keep doing what you are doing Tandoori Nights, it?s great to have you back better than ever!!

Large Kingfisher 660ml in Memsaab is ?4.95 and Memsaab are not the cheapest.


I'm actually a Friend of the owner of Tandoori Nights and often stop for a chat

so there is no Chip.

But ?9.95 for a Chicken Madras is also Not the Norm. Even for around here.


My review was an accurate account of my recent visit.


And I do support my local community.

I Eat in Memsaab, Dulwich Tandoori, Jaflong Tandoori, Mirash, Hisar, Kebab & Wine

Sema Fish Shop, Hong Hong Chinese.


Like the night of my Visit last night just after 10.00pm Tandoori Nights was COMPLETLY empty.

Not one customer.

Dulwich Tandoori and Memsaab were full with no space available.

Kind of speaks for itself.

I really think you need to back up your facts when criticising. Your prices don?t seem to reflect the menu. Chicken Madras is 8.95, NOT 9.95 which you are claiming. Previously you claimed ?35 for a curry rice and small beer, but your latest visit was 16.70ish. That?s a huge difference. Also I find it hard to believe that you say that the restaurant was completely empty, as every time I have been even to collect a Take Away, (that?s right they do do Take away) it has been packed. Also please remember they have only just re-opened, maybe not all is aware yet.

I?m not bad mouthing any of the other establishments but feel you have just made up false claims and this is unfair.

Like I said, try back up your facts and I?ll eat my hat but don?t see that happening.

Kinda hungry now.... tandoori nights will be getting a call.

Do people actually eat in Kebab & Wine? Thought it was a late night drinking den where one went to score one's narcotics?

They were meant to be open for Eat-In. Have not seen anyone eating there.

Not seen anyone late night drinking there either.

Then I am not out late at night (after 11.00pm)


Narcotics, ??? Don't think so.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
