Bump.


Thursday 17/7 - Dulwich Tandoori, Lordship Lane


Looks like there will be between 8 and 10 of us.


I have booked the restaurant for 8.30 and, for those that want to, we can meet in the EDT at 7.30 for a palate sharpener.

Well that was fun.


In attendance: Mr and Mrs Sean McG, Georgia and Mr Georgia, The Cat-Onions, Hibbs, Mrs Citizen ED and me.


The Dulwich Tandoori has been around for years and the signage and decor are of the good old fashioned curry house type, well maintained and rather comforting.


Service was very good, we were looked after well by the Head-waiter. I cannot remember his name as Hibbs dubbed him "Poppet" and that has rather lodged in my brain. He said that he was, within reason, willing to respond to any name.


Food was largely good. I had Prawn on Puri and some of an onion bhaji and both were tasty and of a good size. The Tandoori Chilli Ginger Garlic Chicken was very tasty and the Aubergine Bhaji was also good. The rice was .. rice although I found the nan bread rather stodgy.


A chicken madras dish was not brilliant, the sauce was rather bland and the chicken tasted as if it had been cooked separately and the dropped into the sauce immediatly before it came out of the kitchen, not coked in the sauce. This was described to Poppet who was mortified and organised a second portion as a freebie take-away and asked for feedback to be telephoned in at a conveient time.


We had some wine and beers although the draft Carlsberg was at the end of the barrel and tasted rather metallic, when this was pointed out it was replaced with bottled beer at no extra cost.


We finished with a round free digestifs courtesy of Poppet.


The bill came to ?20 each - no bad at all.

    • I do hope NOT. He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard.
