Many thanks for the 10 people who did meet up at the EDT and then on to the ED Tandoori.


The experience was so-so. The food seemed to take an age to be served, the place wasnt that full. The ever attentive Head waiter went off to deliver a meal at which point the staff seemed to lose interest. On his return the staff woke up and our main course was served at express speed.


I found the food bland. It was OK but that was about it.


Most of us has starters, we all had mains with rice, veg, etc and wine, beer and soft drinks, all of which came to ?20 a head. We were also offered a free drink at the end of the meal.


So, the welcome and price were good, the service could be improved and the food was OK.


The suggestion for the next meal is Sema Thai. How about Wednesday 23/9?

I will agree with the Chief Bhuna on this occasion.


Food certainly was a little on the bland side, although I had a Tikka Massala, not my usual fair I will admit, however I did expect a little more it. Can highly recommend it to anyone who hates any hint of any spice though. Its milder than a bolognese sauce!


Comments from others, I believe will follow, however I think the food can be described as average.


Cost wise, at ?20 a head, certainly isn't bad. Probably helps with numerous drivers drinking soft drinks!


Plenty of After Eight Mints after dinner along with a nice after dinner drink offered to us.


Extra marks are awarded to the Head Waiter who certainly went the extra mile to look after us, shame he had to leave the restaurant to make the delivery, otherwise I think service would have been better...


Many thanks to all. A good night nonetheless!

Lovely to see everyone on Monday.. however the evening was a bit let down by the terrible wait for the food...... I did enjoy my curry though - and have discovered chick peas aren't the evil thing I thought they were!

Sema Thai sounds great.... will look forward to that!

      Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?

      Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors.

      I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!

      Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter.
