The food there is head and shoulders above anything round here. Does that include Ganapati ?? Foxy

Arrhh Tooting.. I had a lady friend who lived in Tooting. mid 1980's 30 years ago. ...So done that when it was good. Now over priced .. pretentious .. but I get that suits some people. Fox

I did not want to take on a 14 year lease and my shop was converted into flats. I went back into telecoms (after being head hunted)from 1994 - 2008. Bought a new house .. Rented out my flat. An income of 60k back then was better than if I had kept the shop on. Retired at 56. Have not looked back. Enjoying my retirement . Anything else you want to know ? DF

That attitude is the main reason most new businesses fail. Owners don't want to open up early.. They only want to open 3-4 days a week.. .. for a couple of hours when they feel like it. Then blame high rents.. If you are paying high rents, make the most of it. Stay open for as long as you can.. What's the point of paying rent when you are closed. If you want to get rich, you have to work for it. You won't get rich in 3 - 6 months. Not even in East Dulwich. DulwichFox

When I used to frequent Babur in the mid 80's The food was Mogul Cuisine. It was expensive back then but the food was excellent and very different to other Indian outlets. Haven't been there for many years 15+ Never been the sort of restaurant you go to alone. That's one of the things you can do with all Curry Restaurants on L.L. See Men an Women as lone diners.

Sorry. don't know what happened. I changed Knots to Knits. Foxy

Totally missed the point. The Point is, that the Majority of Curry Eaters still like what's on offer. That is why the Better restaurants on L.L. are full Thursday - Friday - Saturday. and most do a good T/A trade. Curry Cabin 45 years. Must be doing something right. They too are not going to change something that is not broke. Foxy

Rowdy.. Noisy.. Much racist abuse aimed at staff who had no choice as to put up with it. In the main that has all changed. But the Menu has remained much the same. 'Old Favourites' BUT with individual restaurants doing Speciality Dishes and House Specials.. Nothing wrong with The Old Favourites. I can tell the difference between a Madras / Vindaloo Bhuna from different outlets on L.L. Manzes Pie & Mash. Using more or less the same Recipes for their Pies for over 80 years. They are not going to chnge it for the likes of some people on here. Fox

There were guys working there 2 nights ago. Speaking to the guys that were working on a major leak a few weeks back in Ulverscroft it would seem The entire length of Ulverscroft needs to be replaced. Like much of London's water supply. The 130 year old Victorian 4" Cast-iron pipe work is in very poor state and will continue to need repair for years to come. Probably not practical and prohibitably expensive to do such works. We have to live with it. DulwichFox

None because they don't stand out by talking out loud.. being obnoxious and falling asleep in their vindaloo. Fox

Anyone who thinks race horses continue to run and jump over fences do so because they like it is an idiot. They continue to run out of fear. Horses stampede and run when they are scared. In a horse race, horses are running together as in a stampede. They have no concept of having won a race. They don't give a S**t. I hate horse racing and dislike even more using animals in Circuses. DulwichFox

The people who think ALL Curry Houses are the same.. They are more likely to drink too much before they go to the restaurant.. They are more likely to drink more alcohol with their food. They are more likely to order the same food where ever they go. They are more likely to tip the entire portion of rice on to their plate and then pour the entire curry on top of it and mix it all up. They are more likely to eat too quickly. DulwichFox

Apart from the Power issue (Energy) there is also an issue of how loud it is. But as I do not live in a flat above someone, no one is going to complain. DulwichFox
