None of them any more.

Edited to add: I agree with the posts below that Kokum is excellent, but it isn't on Lordship Lane and it is in a different category of restaurant to the run of the mill places on Lordship Lane.

And also considerably more expensive!

I had a prawn Madras in Mirash last week.

It wasn't good. They seemed to have used dried shrimps. A lot of them, but dried, and I don't think they had been properly rehydrated. They were a strange texture.

I don't recall ever coming across this before, but on the other hand it's probably decades since I last had a prawn Madras.

And they did make me cucumber raita to go with it, albeit a very small portion.

Also not on Lordship Lane, but I may be the last to discover that the premises which had been occupied by Ganapati's takeaway service in Maxted Road  is now another South Indian takeaway called Malabar Feast.

I haven't tried it yet, but their menu looks yummy (I picked up their flyer on the way past).

Though I'm hoping the photos on the website don't do it justice.

Free delivery, minimum order £15.

I used to use Dulwich Tandoori on a weekly basis until i had a few poor meals. Rice was soggy and the curry dishes over cooked going to mush. It can happen i accept that but the final put off for me was the price rise which is fair enough but the dishes became smaller in size at the same time. I now use Memsaab who are decent and consistent and also Millennium on Grove vale for take aways. They are surprisingly superb. Consistently spot on, reasonably priced and the veg dishes are very good.

We've been to Malabar Feast - it's a very good takeaway - definitely a cut above the rest. We still miss Ganapati though - used to love it

The menu at Malabar Feast looks very similar to the menu at Ganapati. Are they definitely not related?

I just assumed they were probably using the same kitchen equipment, which Ganapati had left.

I don't think the menus are particularly similar?

Being South Indian, they are bound to have dosas etc?

If they were related to Ganapati, I would have thought they would have kept the name, as Ganapati has such a good reputation?

We no longer go to Dulwich Tandoori, for reasons unconnected with the food.

I agree Millennium is excellent for takeaways.

I love their onion bhajis and the green sauce supplied with them.  The dal is good too. Not tried the dosas yet.

Anyone living in the area who likes curry needs to try a delivery from two sisters in Nunhead -  it’s leagues above most. 

Constantly searching for similar quality Chinese delivery if anyone has any suggestions 

Just had a look at their menu which looks very interesting.

2 Sisters told me that they give a discount on the website prices if you pay cash on delivery.

Does Millenium do their own deliveries?

In my experience they're all crap but then I'm vegetarian so I get mine delivered from Khan's in Brixton.

Their vegetarian dishes are very good.

Yes I believe so.

Ooops, I thought you were referring to Khan's.

I tried a new to me place for a delivery last night, I placed an order on the phone for a delivery and offered to pay with my card then and there. This was because their website wasn’t working for delivery.  Was told they would send a machine with the delivery driver and was then asked by the driver if I wanted to add a tip.  I was already paying more than I would have for cash.  Is asking for a tip common practice now?  Offering 10% off orders for cash seems to be common now. It’s even advertised on the websites with some places. 
 

It was not Khan’s.  They offer 10% discount for orders over £25 and you don’t need cash.  I will try them next.   It was not 2 Sisters.  They offer a discount for cash too.

Who was it, then? Don't keep us all in suspense 😂

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
