I'm adding my voice to the "must try harder" crowd. Having loved the curry at Wandsworth restuarant and the South Wimbledon takeaway BBC's I was really pleased when they opened on LL. Two hungry hours after ordering, I was less than impressed with the quality of what was eventually delivered. To be fair to BBC, they rang plenty of times and told me the delivery guy was lost, and eventually sent another fella with a new meal (apparently). They held their hands up and gave it me for free as well, which was a nice touch. On this basis I went for another try a few weeks back, but was really disappointed with the meal, bland is the word and I have binned my pink menu. Any pointers to the best takeaway curry in ED/PR/FH greatly appreciated.

I've always really enjoyed the Gurka's Tiffin in Forest Hill that does delivery - I've found it better than anything I've had on LL.


They've recently been renamed the Royal Tiffin as I think they're under new management and I've only had food from them once since then and I'm not sure that it was *quite* as good, and the price has increased slightly, but it was early days, so will definitely be ordering again.


The sag aloo is particularly good as they use fresh spinach, rather than the usual frozen stuff.

Give Omrith a try. On time, a fantastic menu and lots of different things as well as the usual favourites. Good breads, rice and accompaniments and good price.


I posted about this place a month or so back and my views seemed to be echoed so search on Omrith in here and hope you enjoy!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
