Well numbers the choice is open to you, to say what's the matter there and then, or soon afterwards, directly to the managers of any of these places, so that they can run their shops better.


However the staff won't feel equally free to complain back & ask us to treat them in any different manner will they.

I appreciate that some customers are pretty awful and nothing that staff can do will EVER please them. This wasn't the case here, in fact, we were treated with disdain from the moment we turned up for the table we'd booked. Anyway.

So what seemed to be going on?

(Never attempted the restaurant in question.)

The Curry Club were at the Dulwich Tandoori a couple of months ago..

The Club alternates each month with different Venues. We generally get good treatment

where ever we go. But then we are a well behaved group that do not impact too much on other diners

even when there are 12 of us.


Although we had booked for 8 there was 12 of us. Dulwich Tandoori could not of done more for us.

Even removing wooden partitions and moving tables so we could all sit together.


The food was great, fast service even though no one was in a hurry. All our food arrived on time and hot.


We were all given 2 complimentary drinks at the end of our meal..


Think I can speak for all that were there that night.


DulwichFox.

I was with dulwich fox that night and support what he says


I also agree with Jeremy, that at the moment it's the best on the lane


I'm not saying people haven't had bad experiences there but it was first place I ate in dulwich 12 years ago, and am here again tonight and find it almost inconceivable. These guys have always been super helpful. So I am surprised

Agree with that. Without doubt good treatment.

Don't agree with that. Sorry.

ha! suffice to say, the dismal experience I'd had was with some members* of the venerable curry club in tow. And all three of us dining that evening were of the same opinion.



(*one fairly senior in ranking, not the giddy heights of Radiant Chief, but pretty high up all the same!) :))



edit: we were mostly aghast at the rude service. that the food wasn't very pleasant either is more of an aside.

The best curry argument is as old as the forum itself! We even had a vote once... and I tried the winning restaurant afterwards and thought it was awful. But for me, DT is the most reliable since the demise of the Pistachio Club, and I like the old school vibe.


People have different tastes. And possibly high staff turnover results in inconsistent food/experience.

And?

Why?


?It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what.?

Spot on, SCSB79. Do a search for 'offensive' and see all their names appear!

How can you be sure what Stephen Fry would think?

That's fascinating that you can read her mind.


Neither of you have actually explained WHY you find it offensive.

Er SCS I did say exactly why it is offensive in two posts on thread neither of which you have bothered to read obviously.


Otta, I have worked with Stephen Fry. He would absolutely not find the suggestion that indian restaurants need illegal immigrants for their underpants as the secret ingrediant to a korma recipe funny.

In the REAL Mr Benn series, he might well have gone to the fancy dress shop & then ended up as an Indian chef


Yeah, imagine that eh !

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
