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.

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
