Rant: Babur takeaway is ALWAYS cold!!

[hoppermum]

Ok so this stretches the border of ED a little but we all love Babur right? But I have never ever received a curry that didnt need a good 3 mins in the microwave. Is it just me? Possibly the most expensive curry in SE London, can't they keep it warm?? Rant over.

[scotslass]

Do you get it from the restaurant? If you use their take away in Brockley it is one of the cheapest take aways - but maybe a bit cold

[hoppermum]

Yep from the "Babur to go" in brockley-and I'm only I'm HOP so can't see why it's always cold! Need to find another place, any recommendations?!

[bookhopper]

Spices in nunhead is excellent.

Used the takeaway once, it was rubbish.

The restaurant is of course a different kettle of fish.

Jaflong is the one we use for takeaway. Very good.

[KalamityKel]

You know the food always arrives cold and yet still order from them? Have you complained?

Interesting rant... ;-)

[UncleBen]

Don't eat there then. Jeez.

[UncleBen]

Don't eat there then. Jeez. Vote with your feet.

upgrade your microwave, mine heats up even a chilled (from fridge) meal in 2 mins. A luke warm meal to heat-up would take like 1 min.

Shelina in Crystal Palace is amazing

[hoppermum]

I won't be ordering from them again...can't stop the husband though! Thanks for the recommendations, ill give some of those a try. Agree that the Babur restaurant is amazing, but the tale away is cooked in a completely different kitchen...

[Cassius]

I still think a luke-warm Babur's takeaway is better than most others - especially for more interesting vegetarian dishes.

[Mick Mac]

20 secs in te mircrowave is enough to add a bit of heat to a take away without "damaging" the meal imo.

Isn't Indian take away food ALWAYS better once reheated ?

Namaste is my fav, in Sydenham Road.

What's the matter with you woman?!! reheated curry is rank unless you don't mean reheated by means of microwave...of course :-))

It's not like they cooked that lamb curry from scratch when you put the phone call in 40 minutes prior.

Drink x 2+ bottles of wine & take yourself off to bed

Awake with a tongue like a foxes' tail

Eat cold curry + nan bread (hot) and watch repeat of yesterday at Wimbledon

That's a near perfect dinning experience all of its own

And then get married and have 3 kids and don't get to reapeat the above experience for the next 20 years. Nice thought though.

I really don't see why everyone raves about babur take away OR restaurant. I mean the restaurant is good, and it was great when you copuld order take away from that menu, but it's not out of this world or any better than quite a few other places imn the surrounding areas.

The take away is just shit.

After much sampling we have generally found only woondal and omrith to be in any way consistent and quality.

In fact the latter is always delicious but sometimes those sauces are too dry.
