FYI


I went to memsaab last night, looked at the menu for a fish dish

When I enquired what Indian fish they use, I was told tilapia!

I told him I didn't realise tilapia was an Indian fish as that's not how I know it.

Generally They usually use coley fish in Indian restaurants.


Anyway, came home checked the ratings on the Southwark website & it was a 2!


Highly disappointed to say the least!


This is the first time in about 15 yrs I have used a Indian restaurant in dulwich..... I usually venture out of town where these restaurants are plentiful.

It's a bit further to travel but Babur in Honor Oak does a Sunday buffet and it has a 5 food hygiene rating. Having said that, my favourite Vietnamese in Camberwell used to have a 0 rating but has nudged that up to a lofty 2 earlier this year!

Red snapper is definitely eaten in India, and tilapia is close enough. Meat and fish used in "Indian" restaurants here are going to be dictated by local availability.. I think that's fair enough.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
