Pastrami on Rye: new deli

[Cubanbreeze]

Well, not on the Rye but over the other side of it, to be exact. I know it's not East Dulwich, but it's very near (just next to Soper's the fishmonger on Evalina Rd).

This excellent place, called Bambuni, has been open just a week, I discovered today. It sells lovely bread, salami etc, and has really good coffee. But the really clever thing is that it sells wine and olive oil from the barrel, and provides nice, re-usable bottles to put it in. The five-quid southern-French red I got there this morning certainly beats anything you'd get for that money elsewhere.

And before anyone asks, no, I don't work there or know the owner.

I do know the owner (Huey) and meant to post about this (saying that I did know the owner obviously) He's worked long and hard to get this open and it is fab (esp the wine deal), please go!

Went to Bambuni on the day it opened - had a great coffe and pastel de nata, bought mortadella and fresh bread and some delicious olives. It's a lovely space, great products, very reasonably priced - get on down there!

[randombloke]

Have to agree, went there this morning on my usual trip to the excellent Sopers fishmongers and had a very nice Latte. Nice people, were't aware of this thread. Good selection of breads and cheese and as has been said, wine and nice olive oil in barrels. Life outside Lordship Lane? Surely not...

[Marmora Man]

Popped in this afternoon to top up with essential salad / bar be q supplies that had run low. Very friendly people, good stock and very welcoming feel. Liked it and recommend others give it a go.

[Frankito]

No idea where it is... Help!

[maxxi]

Pay attention Frankie...

here it is

[Frankito]

Still no idea where it is... Any chance of adding a map on there?? :0)

[Siduhe]

Maybe look at the map on their website - lots of directions there...or was that a great big whoosh?

Indeed, next to Wendy in the lovely AG Flower shop, Sopers the fish shop, and near Ayres Bakers and Kristals the pharmacy that sells absolutely everything.

What I love about Nunhead is it hasn't (yet!) got any little trinkety shops.

Fab addition to the neighbourhood!

[new mother]

Getting nervous about nunhead! It is actually getting quite nice, isn't it?(!) (meant as a compliment to those who had the sense to buy there a while back plus the owner of this new deli. It sounds great!)

[Annette Curtain]

Being most respectful and all that...

Why is it called Bambuni, sounds like a chinese take-away, no?

[Frankito]

Bambuni - bambino... More Italian -scusi!

[emc]

Went for my fourth time yesterday....fantastic Mortadella (sp?) and smelly Italian cheese type rustic toasted sandwich type thing and a lovely flat white - yum!

[v_the_gelfling]

Seen it but haven't been in yet. Will definitely check it out this weekend, should be a nice addition to the area.

[v_the_gelfling]

And I went twice at the weekend. Sat for coffee and Sun for food pieces which were lovely and not over priced. Lovely to have somewhere in a 5min walk radius from my house, hope its does well!

At a guess then half the time you walk past they are open and the other times they are not. That gizmo on your wrist might be worth consulting during these occasions...;-)

Seriously, the opening times are on the website but I've pasted them here:

Tuesday - Friday: 10am - 7pm, Saturday: 8am - 6pm, Sunday: 10.00am - 4pm. So looks like Mondays are orf!

Enjoy your visit.

Thanx for the info randombloke,will get a watch ;)

I was there yesterday. It was empty but I was shown around and got some wine, great new microbrews (from Redchurch Street and Druid Street)and some cheese. I'll be back this weekend to fill my wine bottle! Lovely shop, and just a short walk from the park.

[Horsebox]

Their wines are pretty good, tried both the red and the white (not from a tumbler).

I was eager to try the redchurch brewery beers - and I did and they were very tasty - but found them very expensive at ?2.85 for 330ml bottles. Is this the price of a decent microbrewery not far from home, or was I ripped off?

Good on you for not accepting anything resembling a tumbler as the Actress said to the Bishop. I don't think ?2.85 is a rip off if you consider a bottle of Corona 330ml will cost you ?3.30 in Boho on Lordship Lane, of course you pay for the ambience.... ;-)

Is that to drink in there, or to take out? If the former, then it's not bad.

[Horsebox]

Take away in this case but I believe it's one price, as on the bottle - I'll check my receipt.

Not that bad for a well-made, tasty, local beer in a bar/cafe but for drinking at home I thought it was a bit steep.

[Jeremy]

Should really be a different price, like in Green & Blue.
