I love Tandoori nights, I think it is the best on Lordship Lane. Do they still do that lovely coconut with the pickles that you can put on your papadoms? I think that is the best thing about going there. I know that this is not Lordship Lane, but I am not impressed at all by Three Monkeys in Herne Hill, and Indigo on Rosendale Road is outstanding - if you love curries - which I do.

Tandoori Nights get my vote for LL.


However...... God I've said this about 4 times now.... Ganapati in "Posh Peckham" (corner of Bellenden Road and Holly Grove) is an amazing Indian Restaurant!!!! It's not a "curry house" like you'll find on LL with all the usual dishes, but a lovely place with fantastic, friendly staff, that does freshly prepared dishes that are so full of flavour, not packed full of as many chillis as possible to make it hot!

One downer with ganap - you will utterly stink of fried food when you come out - cos of the proximity of lkitchen etc, you will have to shower when you get home and wash everything youve been wearing


good food tho'


maybe they should supply Asbestos removal contractor paper boiler suits on arrival ?


the exta ?20 in dry cleaning bills does take the pleasure out of the evening, even tho' we sat right next to the front door - as far away as you can get.

Does 3 monkeys count? - Its in Herne Hill, but that's only down the road.


PS - if you go onto the time-out website, there is an offer for a "Taste-London" card, which can give you up to 50% off meals. 3 Monkeys is also one of the participating restaurants.

    • 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.
