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?


Louisa.

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.


Louisa.

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).

I was, thanks for confirming.

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!

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
