I'd give the food in Si Mangia a generous 3/10.

Palmerston and Franklins get full marks though.

Another vote for Si Mangia on Forest Hill Road. Its not flash but the food is great and the service superb. My brother and sister in law always head there first when they bring their young girls down for the weekend.


Tandoori Nights - I've never had a better curry.


The Commercial in Herne Hill opposite the train station entrance has a very good menu that beats most of the pub food in ED.


One of the great things about ED is the independents and the choices available - get out there and enjoy!

I agree with all of those who rate the various curry houses on Lordship Lane. Before moving to ED I was a bit anti-curry; too many bellyaches after eating in City / Brick dumps! But the Lordship Lane curry houses generally have:

* Excellent service.

* Nice fresh food.

* Nicely decorated and clean interiors.


Many of them seem to offer something a little different. Not sure if they still do it, but Jaflong did a minted lamb chop. Not unlike the traditional English dish, but with and Indian twist. It shouldn't work, but it does.


Why a person would spend signifcantly more at somewhere like the Palmerston or Angel's and Gypsies is beyond me. I don't mind spending a bit of food, I loved Blumentahl's restaurant Dinner, but don't get these midmarket places.

So...Lordship Lane curry house serves....minted lamb chop with an Indian twist. Is that really supposed to be innovative or am I missing something here?

Why someone would spend significantly more at Blumenthals is beyond me, the Palmerston serves lovely food and is local.

i would recommend IL MIRTO, right around the corner from ED station. it is reasonably priced italian food. and good italian food. the pizzas are great, as are the pastas, and the tiramisu is fab. it is a small place. as long as no one is obnoxiously loud eating there at the same time as you, it is a really lovely place to have a meal!

I went to Si Mangia last week, it was excellent for the price, I recommend their seafood dish cooked with brandy and squid ink pasta, the seafood was beautifully cooked and plenty of it; scallops, baby squid, mussels, really delicious. Service is very good too.

Love Jaflong, Si Mangia and the Silk road in Camberwell, must say I've been utterly underwhelmed by Ganapati though, if you want decent South Indian food it seems one still has to go to Euston, unless there are some hidden South London gems I am unaware of?!

Safa in Camberwell is pretty good, if you're looking for a standard curry. They also have a couple of items on the menu (dosas, uttapam, a couple of indian desserts) that you won't find in many indian restaurants. And it's half price if you have a "Taste Card".

      To be fair, a pot of tea for one in a department store is a small pot, and you only get one cup or mug!

      CHERN Thai Cafe - Opening Times

      By Sue · Posted

      I know - we have been here lots of times since it first opened,  which is why we were disappointed that it was closed at a time it was supposed to be open, but with no notice to say why! I guess we will just  have to ask the reason at our next visit, but I'm not sure we will risk Saturday lunchtime again unless we find the closure  was an unavoidable one off ....

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.

      We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
