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.

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
