New curry house - east dulwich road

[DulwichFox]

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.

The Indian restaurant on grove vale that closed temporarily to become 'grill bites' seems to have rebranded as Millenium Tandoori recently.

You lose some curry houses, you win some curry houses eh?

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?

Ghurkas Flavour in Forest Hill (Standstead Road) is good, but only a handful of covers, so no use for a large party.

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 don't appear to have much actual Nepalese food on the menu, though...

[Penguin68]

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 :(

Pretty sure there's a Nepalese in Crystal Palace.

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).

If you're thinking of Yak & Yeti it is more a mix of Nepalese, Indian and Tibetan cuisine.

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.

Based on the postcode or 'East Dulwich Road'?

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..

Does anyone know what is to become of the old Jaflong site on the Lane?

I'm with Louisa on the need for a good Mexican.

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

Possibly a take away ;-)

Occasionally I remember the old 'Mexican' and then realise just how far Lordship Lane has come :)

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!
