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 😂

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
