Xoco grill - closed for good - Memsaab now open...

[Sue]

Louisa, there doesn't appear to be anybody charging ?7.50 for a hot dog round here.

It appears to have been a figure plucked out of the air.

[Jeremy]

The forum would be so much better if some people would just stop. talking. crap.

[robbin]

It's the rise of fake information. Just say something false, then keep saying it until it gets repeated and starts to gain credence. If someone points out it's false, then just switch tack and say something like "well whoever is charging ?7.50 wherever they are..." as if what you are saying is not false (somewhere) - therefore trying to leave the impression it's not 'really' false!

"....I didn't mean wiretapping when I said wiretapping...."

[robbin]

Exactly. But someone has been wiretapping somewhere - its a disgrace - and other stuff is like wiretapping anyway.

[Sue]

:))

Well Trump seems to have a lot of time on his hands, maybe he has hacked the Fox's account on here :))

[robbin]

Or a variation is to set up a straw man - say someone said something or holds a point of view (which they never did) and roundly criticise them for it! Doesn't matter they never said it - what you said they said is so wrong, they must be wrong. Right?

[Sue]

So, will the "New Xoco" be changing its name?

Xoco is a chain.. so presumably yes. But I do not know. Sue.. I do NOT know.

This is where I get accused of witholding information.. :)

Oh FFS.

No. You get accused of withholding information when you hint and imply that you DO know something, but then when asked what you know you beat about the bush and don't give a straight answer.

ETA: Oh. Just saw your smiley. Perhaps I was a tad harsh there, sorry :)

[Abe_froeman]

Was Xoco really a chain?

I'm surprised by that because there was no outrage at all at the furthe domination of lordship lane by chain shops when it opened!

[BrandNewGuy]

No, it wasn't a chain. There were no other Xocos.

[Louisa]

I didn't know Xoco was a chain? Maybe they're just doing a refurb then and be back with a different interior? Where are the others branches?

Louisa.

[Jah Lush]

Why would they do another refurb when they've just closed shortly after opening? Not a chain and no fecking ?7.50 hotdogs either.

You are Kellyanne Conway and I claim my ?5.

[DulwichFox]

I was told they had 3 outlets which all closed down on the same day.

Have a look here..

Could this be the answer

But that doesn't say anything about Xoco being a chain?

And they say they are opening on 23 July but they look forward to seeing us on Thursday???

And I searched on memsaabeastdulwich as suggested and a memsaheb on Thames came up, Memsaab in Islington and Memsaab in High Wycombe, but nothing in East Dulwich.

But if the new restaurant is part of a chain, possibly this is the cause of the confusion.

23rd March is a Thursday.. and like i said earlier in this post or another I had met the new owner

who confirmed it was Xoco site. opening that day. so the two seem to tie up. and now we know the name.

Memsaab..

Well I hope their food is better than their accuracy or knowledge of month names :))

[Louisa]

Who is Kelly Anne Conway Jah?

Louisa.

[Sue]

All very curious.

I clicked on one of the photos on their Facebook page and a restaurant in Dubai came up???

Maybe a Facebook glitch???

https://www.facebook.com/memsaabjlt/

ETA: If you want to be at their grand opening and you want 40% off your great modern quality of Indian food on 23 March/July, get in touch with them quick! At the East Dulwich Facebook page, not the Dubai one, obv.

This changeover all seems to have happened rather quickly, to say the least .....

Well spotted.

Blimy. just noticed the date.. :)

I give up now..

Foxy

[Louisa]

Are they anything to do with this restaurant? http://www.memsaabislington.co.uk

Louisa.

[Sue]

Or this one .....

Memsaab, London Rd, Wooburn Green, High Wycombe HP10 0NJ

I'd like to see the menu on their Facebook page, rather than pictures.

I'm not holding my breath, but I would be extremely delighted if the East Dulwich Memsaab turns out to be a cut above the others on the Lane serving this kind of food ......
