Eats Dulwich

Yes, but only until around 8pm from what i can tell!

You can park for free for 30 mins in Melbourne Grove round corner and Grove Vale. It's a bit of a pain because you still have to register by phone as if paying but it's a lot closer to M&S. Or you could always go to M&S on Lordship Lane, parking for a short time is fairly easy around there.

yes, but in their case it's probably not last night's leftovers!

Those three are all good calls, if you want classic 'Chinese' 148 is best of the bunch. Good value too. Last time we went we had set dinner and were so full after the starters we took pretty much everything else home and had it the following night (ok i confess, some for breakfast).

Good timing. I've just posted this review: https://open.substack.com/pub/eatsdulwich/p/restaurant-review-sweet-dreams?r=8oe6m&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Trinco is at 20 Lordship Lane, near Goose Green. The building is called Oru Space although I did notice the other day that there is a small neon sign that says Trinco outside though easy to miss. Good for Sri Lankan vegetarian curries, not good if you are after chicken tikka masala-style food that all the other curry restaurants in Lordship Lane serve (edit - sorry Moovart, I've just seen you've also answered this!).

I think Trinco might have everything you need on one level, including delicious vegetarian food and toilets. Little bit confusing because the location is known as Oru, but the restaurant is called Trinco. At least I think that's right! I tried to untangle my own confusion in this review here. Goose Green bus stop is almost right outside. https://open.substack.com/pub/eatsdulwich/p/restaurant-review-orutrinco?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

Good of you to give it a second chance. It's fair value but I'd rather pay a little more for something better and there's so much to choose from in Lordship Lane (though admittedly I've been a little disloyal and have found myself venturing to Rye Lane more than I expected in recent months).

yes, inside looks like a squeeze, we went in early summer and sat outside, really nice way to spend the evening and watch the world (and knackered commuters) go by. It's time that the tale was told. I'm afraid it was Love Dulwich, which has had some good mentions on here. We only had a mezze and a side dish but the mezze was pretty sad and the side dish wasn't as described on the menu. Maybe other things on offer were better but we've not been inclined to go back.

Just a quick post to say that my restaurant reviews column is now one year old. There are 45 reviews here* - mostly of local places (some sadly now defunct, others thriving). There are a couple of recipes from a period when I couldn't afford to eat out, a couple of moans about my health when I couldn't eat out on doctor's orders and a couple of reviews beyond our manor. But the main thing is that it is a free, useful guide to local dining and, I hope, an entertaining read. You can, of course, pay to subscribe or follow for free to get the reviews directly into your inbox as I don't want to spam EDF with every review (doctor says I'm not allowed spam anyway). The pictures below come from my two most popular reviews - Persepolis (new SE22 spin-off opening soon) and Norbert's, a great addition to East Dulwich. Please have a read and please consider subscribing. Did I mention you can subscribe for free? https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/ *It would have been 46 but one review didn't run because the meal was so disappointing. I try not to be negative. To paraphrase Boyzone (or is it Westlife?) I said it best by saying nothing at all.

If you are sending it via buying a label from the royal mail website you have to put down in the weight of the item so in theory it should then only tell you the places where you can drop it off but I wouldn't bank on it!

yep, that's the one I used.

How widely are people aware of Royal Mail's sending service - if it's a parcel you can pay and print off label at home and just drop off. link below. They will even pick it up for a small extra charge (maybe even free depending on item). I did this on Monday and was aiming to drop off at LL PO but saw the queue was stretching way out into the street so diverted over to corner shop in Upland Road and dropped it off there. https://send.royalmail.com/?cid=SM_RMP_0223&s_kwcid=AL!10933!3!781157212692!b!!g!!royal mail tracked 48&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23192018280&gbraid=0AAAAADnU4TDfp6wGzzGiPexY0ahf0UnAT&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyP3KBhD9ARIsAAJLnnYKkFDCIiPu21DB_Iv_oQaBMiAsWz8toFN1mHaGgYdQFRc5U9UfZ8MaApJpEALw_wcB It might help morale if they got their sign fixed. It's been like this since before Christmas.

I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
