They had a total refurb.. All the walls were stripped back and replastered .. The ceiling lowered. New lighting.

New bar fitted.. ??

The music was a bit loud.. and kept cutting out and coming back on again.. was annoying but they turned it off

when I asked..

Oh dear.

Reminds of when I went to see some friends I hadn't seen for a while, in their new house.

I said "I can see why you want a new kitchen."

They said "This is the new kitchen."

Ooooops.

Ha ha - a mate said my lounge would be nice when it was finished (I'd finished it the previous week).

Hope they keep the strong smell of damp. Cant see that budging in a week without some serious Magic Tree to mask it.

It may of been the fresh plaster... not fully dried out..

DulwichFox

[KidKruger]

plaster doesn't take that long to dry out mate. It wasn't lime plaster an inch think, it was palsetr boarded and skimmed I expect.

How did the opening go, did they get rid of the smell of damp, does the low ceiling work and whats the food like ???

[KrackersMaracas]

I think the Fox stopped by on opening night and has left a few comments on another thread.

[alice]

Admin close this thread please as the question of the op's title has been answered

I feel you are trying to stir up trouble...

I did go on opening night and despite a few niggles which were minor, I enjoyed my experience.

The food was very good. A unique taste different to any other curry restaurant on Lordship Lane.

The restaurant has been tastefully refurbished. and the tables laid out with fresh linen table cloths

with great attention to detail.

went there several times no weird smells perhaps it was a damp patch you brought with you.

[KrackersMaracas]

Sorry fox that wasn't my intention at all - just that you were the only person who I noticed on here who had said they went. I didn't think the comments you left on the other thread were rude or unfair - just recording your experience.

[Abe_froeman]

If it would please you, Alice, I could change the title of the thread?

[alice]

that would be very kind but your thread, your choice.

would you say it had a USP then Dulwich Fox? And if so how would you describe the different taste? Genuinely interested....
