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 😂

    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
    • Goose Green Ward Panel Meeting   Date: 24th of July 2025, 7pm Location: East Dulwich Picturehouse | 116A Lordship Lane | London SE22 8HD    Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT) will be holding a ward panel meeting at East Dulwich Picturehouse on Thursday 24th July 2025 from 7pm.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
