Jaflong Tandoori

42 East Dukwich Rd. SE22 9AX

So it is in East Dulwich.

Not according to Google maps...everywhere in East Dulwich has an SE22 postcode, but not everywhere with an SE22 postcode is East Dulwich.

Peckham and Dulwich have so many historical ties that it seems odd how officialdom recognises where boundary lines start and stop. I know that from Goose Green playground running along Adys RD north to Oglander (and roads coming off to the right) it comes under SE15. However, many estate agent websites claim that roads as far north as Bellenden come under East Dulwich.

Just to note that the East Dulwich Electoral ward (which is what has been shown on the map, I believe) is a voting, not a societal boundary. The ED Ward does not (Mr Barber notwithstanding) ED make.

Agreed, but I think everyone would consider Forest Hill Road and East Dulwich Road as sensible eastern and northern borders respectively, which puts the new Jaflong, being on the north side of EDR, into Peckham Rye I'd say.

No, Nunhead's its own unique area with a parliamentary ward and everything.

Bit of a can of worms actually.

Some people consider Nunhead as being actually Peckham.

Some people don't :)

Already have!

No point banging head against brick wall any further.

The fox is always "right". Let's just leave it there.

I don't take kindly to being accused of lying, but hey ho, those who know me know I am a truthful person, so WTF.

[Louisa]

I'm fascinated and confused in equal measure over this fox/sue conversation. So there were two conversations about different things? And the confusion comes with which one was relevant here?

Well Lou... What ever was said or not said.. a long while back on this sensitive issue. One thing is for sure..

The lady cannot be trusted to keep it to herself. But to come on here spurting out what WOULD of been a private off the cuff comment ?

Then it is I that deserves an apology.

Foxy.

[Sue]

Just leave it Fox.

You are digging yourself in deeper.

This thread started to go off topic at post 3 - and has kept off it (with some close calls) till this post 66 - even for the EDF that must start coming close to a record.

Let's get it back on track then. Any idea when Jaflong will be opening and will the Fox and Sue make up and be friendly at the next Curry Club in the new venue?

As far as I know is will be 25th Aug. (Thursday) Speaking to Ruhul at Jaflong (1) they have already booked music for that night.

I have been told it is a Ticket event but will confirm here if Jaflong do not update.

But don't shoot the messenger if this don't happen.

Sue and I often have a pop on here. We are neighbours and neither of us are nasty or hold a grudge.

Nyge is alright guy.. who likes a quiet life. :)

They are not regulars at Curry Club. About time you made an appearance.

Whenever the next one might be. Getting withdrawal symptoms..

I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member.

A totally cosmetic but commercially relevant point. That Jaflong signage, seriously, what were they thinking? Being a complete snob aside, what a waste of a golden opportunity to make the business relevant and catapult it into the 21st century from the get go. With something like 76% of consumers saying they enter a business they've never visited before based simply on signage. If i'd wanted to make a proper go of it and capture passing trade, I'd have gone all hipster on their arses, inspiring an "oooooh, let's try that" instead of an "oh look another generic indian restaurant." It's not like there isn't a plethora of good examples in the area to take note of....

That aside, good luck to them

One side of Peckham Rye Common is SE22, the other is SE15. The park itself seems like a good boundary. I wonder which postcode you're in, in the middle.

As much as I love a nice curry, I am baffled by the number of pizza and curry based restaurants within the vicinity whilst we are still lacking a decent Mexican place. Someone needs to pull their finger out soon and get a wrap/burrito specialist into the neighborhood.

That's alright ... You do not need to join and there is no membership.

Foxy

[Jah Lush]

I'm aware of that.

Wasn't that place on the corner next to Surma, which used to be another Indian restaurant but which has had a new sign outside for ages (XOCO?) supposed to be a Mexican restaurant?

There has been very little sign of any refurbishment activity inside.

Anybody know what has happened/is going to happen, if anything?

ETA: We used to have a Mexican restaurant on Lordship Lane - it just wasn't a very good one ..... on the stretch where GBK is.
