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.

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
