We like...


Ganapati

Tandoori nights

Swadesh

Indian Mischief

Angels and Gypsies

Thai Corner Cafe

Meze Mangal (Lewisham)

Hisar

Lunch scuppered through ear infection of 9mo - boooo!


Thanks everyone! assumed begging bowl not child friendly - but good to know if it is (highchairs etc?)


We walked past FM Mangal today - definitely going to give it a shot. Heard good things about the Silk Road too....


Babur I haven't heard of - we will check it out one day.


Good to know there are so many options. Hurray!

Cafe East, Surrey Quays. Kingsland Road quality Vietnamese. Buzzy. Easy parking, or get there by the Overground, heaps of high chairs. You may have to wait for a table but the turnover is quick.


No beer, no tap water and cash only are the negatives.

We went to the Begging Bowl a couple of weekends ago for lunch with our nearly 3 yr old and 9 month old. It's a bit of a squeeze getting the buggy in and the tables are all very close together but they do have a couple of high chairs and there are quite a few families there at lunch time. Plus the staff are very child friendly.

Is that for real antantant? No tap water? Isn't that illegal? (PS - I posted a few mins ago about my use of ant killer - nothing personal you understand...)


ETA - sorry for going a bit off topic, very much appreciate all the suggestions here

I'm not sure what it says about me but it's the not selling beer at Cafe East that annoys me the most!


But yes, I think you're right, the no alcohol license means they don't have to give water away, which is a shame.


We had Sunday lunch at the Gantry in Brockley this weekend too - and that was really nice, with a great garden for Summer.

    • Is anyone getting rid of a play tent? I’m looking for one suitable for a 6 year old boy. Many thanks. 
    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
