Hi guys,

We are very excited to announce that KOKUM, located on 58-60 east dulwich road is set to open its doors soon!

KOKUM is a contemporary Indian restaurant and bar that serves classic Indian dishes with bold and punchy flavours but with more unusual ingredients than is the norm. It is the brainchild of the co-founders of Michelin-rated restaurants, Black Salt and Dastaan.

Here’s a teaser of some of our dishes…

Do you have a menu you can share on here? It will be great to have something a bit different which is nearer than Ganapati!

Hi Sue, we are in the process of food trials/ finalising the menus. As soon as we have our finalised menus, I’ll post them on the forum 🙂

You've broken the one exclamation mark limit !!!!!!!

I'll look forward to seeing what this authentic Indian food is.  Hopefully not chicken tikka masala (Scottish) or balti (Birmingham).

Nearest I have seen is the India Club in the Strand, which in days gone by was close to the Indian High Commission.

We are opening KOKUM tomorrow, Saturday & Sunday for walk ins only. We are very short staffed so trying to manage bookings the next few days by only taking walk ins. 

Reservations are available via the website from next Wednesday onwards.

Anyone else eaten here since it opened? The menu looks really great. I am looking for somewhere for my birthday meal but as someone of Sri Lankan origin I am quite fussy about where I eat curry (when I'm not making it at home!)

I'm planning to try the South Indian and Sri Lankan places near St George's hospital in Tootling.  West Croydon is also a good place. I expect that these places are more down to earth than Kokum - that's not a criticism but a fact.

Barbur sets the standard for high end in this area, although now very much fusion.  I've only once eaten at the Cinemmon club, fortunately I was being treated £££££.

Happy to try your home cooked food, I shared some of my Indian recipes on EDF during lock down.

As with the majority of Indians I do not eat meat.  The veggy restaurant that the Cheeseblock people ran was great but closed years ago.

Ate there on Saturday evening. Really lovely meal and definitely a million miles from your typical Indian restaurant.

FOH staff talked us through the menu which was really helpful. Even the chef came out and had quick chat late-on. 

A welcome addition to the neighbourhood.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
