Last orders at the Tulip Cafe..today

[charlottekb]

I am said wife, and did not screech! Just got a bit over excited as had been complaining that despite Pulling supposidly being set in Peckham there has not ever been any Peckham sights to be seen. Then low and behold a scene in the Tulip Cafe. Walked past today and noticed it had closed. V sad.

Jaflong bangladeshi and indian cuisine has opened today and guess what? It's ram packed already whilst the others are empty, probably because they have a special offer, can't be because of its good tasty food as it's only just opened.:-S

Saw it, but got a takeaway from Pistachio Club instead! Thought Jaflong looked a bit ropey.

[Cassius]

I must admit to some disappointment that yet ANOTHER Indian restaurant has opening on LL - it's not as if we are short of them. I like the Bangladeshi food I've had on Brick Lane - and will give Jaflong a go but something different would have been nice.

I wandered down the Lane about 40 mins after karters posts - Jaflong wasn't full but busy enough but I noticed several diners in most of the other establishments - Tandoori Nights was rammed as usual

What surprised me about Jaflong was the lack of menu outside the restaurant

[karter]

Sean, Jaflong was packed when i went past, they opened at 5.30 but i agree the lack of menu and the outside of it could be better but it's early days still.

[KalamityKel]

Do you not think it could possibly have been one of those clever seating ideas where they put everyone at the front of the restaurant to give the impression it's busy?

[SeanMacGabhann]

ooops - didn't mean to contradict you karter, just that by the time I got down there things had evened out a little. And it was only a Wednesday.. will be interesting to see next few days

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I had a peek over the top yesterday, just after six, looked about half full. BTW, thought it was illegal not to have a price list in the window?

[karter]

KK, you could be right, clever seating tactics happening here.

Sean, don't worry about it.:)

[KalamityKel]

karter when will u learn I'm always right ;-) :p

pgc I'm guessing it's not illegal to not put it prominently in the window but has to be in a visable place, where ever it may be. A bit like a pubs licence must be displayed to the public... that could b anyhere tho.

went in there yesterday, pretty average, i thought it seemed to be struggling between a cafe a restaurent,
