Oh no, sorry to hear that Helen.

Great meeting yesterday. Nine people, so a good start to the new year.


I enjoyed my Chicken Tikka Massala and generally felt that the food had improved somewhat since our last visit, which was some time ago.


Out of interest last year we went to the following:

Jan 13 - Jaflong

Feb - Surma

Mar - Dulwich Tandoori

April - Swadesh - (Does anybody know if Swadesh is still alcohol free?)

May - Omrith

June - Jaflong

July - Mirash

Aug - Tandoori Nights

Sept - Ganapati

Oct - Dulwich Tandoori

Nov - Curry Cabin

Dec - Dulwich Tandoori

Jan 14 - Veer Zara


So , looks to me like Surma is due a visit on February 6th.


Namaste!!

Not unless they have changed their policy...


No alcohol to be consumed on the premises.

It may well be.. but I certainly do not wish to get into any debate along those lines.


At the time Swadesh decided to stop selling alcohol there had been a visit to Mecca by certain restaurant staff.


On return some local restaurants considered not selling alcohol, not just Swadesh.


After consultation with some of their customers and at Prayers with spiritual leaders

decisions were made and some restaurants decided to continue and some didn't.


It is important that people respect the wishes and beliefs of those who have chosen not to continue.


It may well be that the decision was not based on religious grounds and that I do not know.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
