Best takeaways in the area?

[GreigF]

Hello I have just moved to the area and keen to find out what the best Chinese and Indian takeaways are.... Can you let me know.. Got friends coming round this weekend so your suggestions will be a big help...

[Cedges]

Order out of the area for Chinese...after significant research there is nowhere edible in ED. Apparently Wuli Wuli in Camberwell is good and delivers here but I'm yet to personally try it...

[Peckhampam]

Wuli Wuli is marvellous

Two Sisters Tandoori for Indian/Bangladeshi.

[juliee]

Buddha Jazz(Grove Lane)for Vietnamese.

Ganapathi is reported to be opening a takeaway in the Bellenden area and, if it does so, that will take some beating. I also like Safa on Camberwell New Road for curry.

Tandoori Nights is great but they don't deliver. Other good Indians are Ganapati (P Rye) but doesn't deliver, New Dewanian (Camberwell), Babur (Honor Oak) and The Indian Dining Club (Gypsy Hill).

Agreed that there are no decent Chinese take aways - a couple locally that are OK but not outstanding.

Also really hoping that somebody will one day open a Japanese restaurant in ED - I for one would be a regular customer!

Babur do excellent take aways, fabulous restaurant too

To be realistic, I don't think any assessment can be made on Ganapti's proposed take-away quality until its prepared its first meal. IF the same preparation is used, IF the inevitably different people who'll be working there are as skilled and well-trained based on the restaurant's cooking model, IF the menu is similar (everyone seems to use the restaurant as a benchmark), IF, IF, IF.

Truth: we HOPE it'll be as quality as the restaurant but we simply don't know yet. So any recommendation is speculative, not assured.

I'm a difficult-to-please curry lover and it's this place every time for me

Probably a bit late recommending this but for the future try this place for take away and their restaurant is amazing too..

I had a terrible meal at Tandoori Nights recently.

I did a search on here and found that the curry club had had a recent similar experience.

They used to be good years ago when they first opened, but judging by my "Lamb with spinach and green chillies" which had not a single chilli in it and tasted completely bland and unspiced, and contained apparently tinned spinach, not any more.

My pilau rice was just rice and cloves.

The lamb and rice cost me twelve pounds :(

ETA: Oh, and they charged six pounds for a bottle of Cobra :(

Eh?

The "not any more" was a continuation of the part of the sentence "They used to be good when they first opened" .....

Problem with ganapati is that if the food is the same as the restaurant it will presumably be the same price. Which is getting on for double a regular takeaway. So not sure I'd be a regular customer. But I'll be watching with interest to see how it plays out.
