Ganipati to open takeaway in Maxted road

[Otta]

Sorry edcam, shitty day and clearly a humour bypass switch engaged. Plus your post could easily have been a serious post on this forum.

My bad.

No worries - I really wasn't serious. Thanks for your gentlemanly post.

I thought that was quite funny actually - and assumed it was meant to be. Otta did not take it well tho. That was even funnier.

Well that's true SJ but Otta obviously assumed that a takeaway would deliver and my idle thought was why would it if it's called a 'takeaway'. Why would any? It think in years gone by none delivered and the were what they are called i.e. you take away. Deliveries came into it later I'm pretty sure.

So what should these establishments be called now as they are not only takeaways?

........my idle thought ended at this point.......

Glad you've made up. I've been checking the thread throughout the afternoon to see how things were progressing...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Bit of a cliff-hanger, was worried that the Ganapati thread was a cover for the prosecution of a private war between the two antagonists.

Thankfully not.

I like Ganapati, bit stingy with the poppadoms though.

Their website says that that they will deliver, really looking forward to it opening

[unlurked]

We all know that takeaways never taste the same as eat ins . . .

[Otta]

Maybe so unlurked, but if they do similar dishes, it's still going to be good, even if not quite as good as eating in.

[EastDulwicher]

This really is great news - love the place and the food is delicious. Even better if they deliver...fingers crossed!

This is great news. It's the only one I'd really want to order anything from.

Hopefully the takeaway prices are down from the restaurant pricing level though - otherwise the orders will be infrequent.

[Jeremy]

Yeah they really will need to be a bit cheaper than the restaurant for it to work.

[MediaBoy]

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I live on the corner of Maxted and I'm over the moon. Not sure my bank balance / health kick will be though...

[cashewnut]

I emailed Ganapati and they said they were hoping to open in about a month - so just before Christmas I guess.

And...

"As far as delivery areas go, we have sketched out initially SE15, SE17, SE11, SE14, SE4, SE23, SE22, SE21, SE24 and SW9, and see how we get on with that!"

[Otta]

Bugger, no SE26. I'll have to meet them at Forest Hill Station.

[El Pibe]

How can there be no SE5, it's about 100 metres away.

[Jeremy]

Must be a typo... if they go to Vauxhall/Kennigton/Walworth

[harperama]

Anyone know when this is opening?!!

[gg96cgp]

It opened this weekend.

[Huggers]

delicious takeaway tonight!

[leenorris78]

Anyone able to order yet?

I tried on the opening night, on the saturday night and again tonight for half an hour. Engaged.

No luck yet.

[leenorris78]

Now eating egg on toast. :)

We got a takeaway from there the other night. Was hard to get through... can imagine its very busy on a Friday. 2 mains, 1 bed rice, 1 bread, 1 starter - ?30. Not cheap but much better than other Indian takeaways (and that's coming from someone who was previously a bit cynical about Ganapati).
