The place on the corner next to Surma has been completed and was due to open in Feb. Then June.

According to friends/family of the owners they are not in any hurry to open and could be another couple of months..


But who knows.. This is east Dulwich. Will update when I get further news.

Yes that was Rannaghor.. Brilliant T/A and delivery service. (assume they are still doing delivery)

Delicious food..


I had a good chat with the guy there recently after walking by and smelling Curry.


Good to see them back.

Foxy do you know if any of the local curry houses specialise in Nepalese cuisine? This Asian cuisine is often underrated and many generic curry houses offer a limited range in regional food. Is there one particular curry house which does specialise in Nepalise cuisine or which can make off-the-menu dishes for people?

Hi P68, is this the small one with just a handful of tables? In the small parade of shops? I've driven past a few times but the exterior hasn't set my culinary tastebuds alight, but if you can personally give me a recommendation I'll happily try it with friends.

They do have some Nepalese specialities (particularly in the starters area) and the dishes which look familiar aren't quite flavoured in the ways you'd expect. I asked the owner/ manager whether the cooking was fully Nepalese - he admitted to 'about 90%' - saying that western palettes didn't quite take to some Nepalese flavour combinations. They used to stock a very nice Nepalese lager (Khukuri) but when I was last there I think they had another one almost as good. It's just sufficiently different from standard Pakistani and Bangladeshi cooking and flavours for you (well me) to notice a difference. I don't eat there very regularly, but I've never been disappointed. Because it is so small (and quite popular) it is worth booking. Not of course ED, but perhaps close enough. The people there were always nice as well, which helps.

We first went to Ghurka's Flavour on a Time Out offer, which was very good value and very nice food, and we went back a few times after that.


Their momos are particularly yummy.


However when we had stuff delivered, we had a few issues - I can't remember exactly what, but whatever it was, it put us off them unfortunately :(

This place has rebranded twice, and also closed down before to do some renovations once. I walk past quite often and I never see anyone there (customers or delivery drivers).

There's Gurkha's Cottage, but I don't think it's Nepalese.


ETA: Sorry, ignore that, I hadn't seen the bit of the thread about Yak and Yeti.

Well I was basing it on the Post code of the previously advertised Chinese restaurant that Jaflong has taken on.


It would seem that part of East Dulwich Rd. IS in E.D. and part of it isn't.


Perhaps the Chinese was NEVER in East Dulwich in the first place..


But who cares.. we have a New Curry house and that suits me where ever it is..

I have a good idea.. but not at liberty to say. But not Mexican.


Possibly a take away ;-)

Also an indication of how much our expectations have changed in the 2000s. I used to think Mexican food WAS nachos, enchiladas, and frozen margaritas!

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!

      Be careful on the pavements...

      By malumbu · Posted

      Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
