I have also posted this on a general thread about food hygiene, but thought it would be of interest to the curry connoisseurs on the Forum.


Went to Mirash on Saturday night. When the booking was made a couple of weeks ago, I checked the Southwark Food Safety web-page and they had a rating of 4. Not perfect but fair enough.


So was surprised on arrival that they had a sticker in the window claiming a a rating of five.


Whilst there, sensing a couple of other aspects were a bit off, I checked again on my phone to see that they were inspected in early November and now have a rating of two!


I tried speaking with the manager about this discrepancy and also tried phoning them tonight to discuss. For the sake of brevity, I shall just say that neither converstaion was productive.


So if you're happy eating at an establishment that has a rating of two, but chooses to display a sticker claiming it's a five even though their previous rating was four, then please continue to give them your custom.


If, like me, that sends a shiver down your spine, I would give them a very wide berth.


I have reported to Southwark.

I have posted this already on another thread but I thought that the curry connoisseurs of East Dulwich should know:

On checking, most SE22 Indians are 2 or less, so why pick on Mirash


Mirash 2

Dulwich Taandoori 2

Meemsaab 2

Surma 1


only Jaaflong is better at 5


If you consider these ratings important, you dont have a lot of chaoice of where to source your Indian food. I have eaten in all the "2" establishments without problems and know of many others who are the same.

Fair question...


I had that experience at Mirash not at any of the others.


In this respect, I don't know about the other restaurants but Mirash is knowingly misleading its clientele into thinking its food hygiene is 'very good', whereas in fact it has been judged to be such that "improvements are necessary" - it's that deception that I was most troubled by.


I wouldn't knowingly eat anywhere that had a 2 or below, and that's quite a worry that these other restaurants are graded as such. I didn't know that so thanks for pointing it out.


Thankfully, there are other options. Jaflong, Rajah Rowing Team, Ganapati and Millenium Tandoori are all grade at 5. Village Tandoori is a 4.

You're not really sorry are you.... :)


But you will be, when Michael P gets back at you. He really doesn't like sarcasm. He's a big bloke too. Ooooooh.

    • Well I don’t approve for a shop doing the same food to open so near - just wrong in my opinion. Why not go to the village, Peckham - foot fall would be great in Peckham and certainly more multi  cultural than ED. Village has money but doubt foot fall would be as good as ED.  At least they could have gone to the stretch leading up to Peckham Rye or why not bottom of Barry Road?? Or even North Cross Road I for one, on principal won’t be going in.
    • Heh yeah haven't even bothered to remove the emdash. The OP is AI slop as well.
    • The street directory is on Ancestry and you'll need a subscription to access.  It's reasonably easy to navigate though you have to find the page you're looking for by a combination of trial and error/guesswork.  https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/61265/images/47056_263021009499_1592-00159?usePUB=true&_phsrc=Soz1793 There is though also a general search page for London directories where the street name can be entered in the keyword field and results will take you to the specific pages. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61265/
