So far we have 5 confirmed (Foxy, Li5ecr, CharlieB, Hibbs, me) so if anybody else would like to come, could you confirm?


I have had a few PMs from new people and there was interest at the drinks last night.


Also - could anybody that wants to come post on this thread please?

Sorry to gatecrash your thread, but I just did a search on Tandoori Nights as I had a pretty poor meal there last night, and I was interested to see the comments above.


We hadn't been there for years, but we were starving. We had thought Dulwich Tandoori might have a Sunday buffet on as it was a bank holiday, but they didn't and appeared to be rammed, so we went to Tandoori Nights instead.


My meal was terrible. It was supposed to be lamb with spinach and green chillies. There was not a single chilli in it, and no heat in the dish at all. Nor did it appear to be spiced with anything else, as it was all completely bland. The spinach looked and tasted as if it had come out of a tin. The best I can say is that at least the meat was tender.


The pilau rice appeared to be spiced solely with cloves.


For the lamb and the rice I paid twelve pounds :(


The Cobra was six pounds (large bottle). Can't remember how much it usually is, but that seemed a lot.


When I put these points to them at the end of the meal (nobody came during the meal to ask how it was, although there was only one other group of customers in the restaurant) they really didn't have any reply.


How can you advertise a dish with chillies and then leave out the chillies? Bizarre.


ETA: I shan't eat there again. Shame. Once upon a time, the food was very good there.

Great evening with 9 of us enjoying a few drinks at the Montpelier and an excellent meal at Ganapati.


As we know, the food is somewhat different from your normal curry house and was very enjoyable for that.


Next CC meet on 3 October at the Dulwich Tandoori.


Meet at The Draft House at 7ish on to the restaurant for 8ish.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      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.

      So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee?

      OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
