back on page 1 of this thread Marmora Man and I were extolling the virtues of Onglet steak

great picture and pointers to locations here

Onglet in Dulwich please

On a positive note, the Bishop and it's sister pubs are doing some bloody marvellous buttermilk fried chicken of late - highlly recommended

A Sri Lankan restaurant with good egg hopers at lunch time. Also agree with another sea food restaurant although like Sea Cow. Other alternatives would be good Lebanese restaurant or Mediterranean restaurant with good selection of salads, or good Italian. If a McDonalds or equivalent arrives will cry.

Nando's.

Oh, you should have been up on Church St in Stoke Newington when that one opened. You'd think a drive-through abortion clinic had just opened.

Vietnamese, there's a great place in Oxford Street called Pho, need to get them in East Dulwich - id be there all the time.

[thebestnameshavegone]

Try Deptford, best Vietnamese in South London

There's one in Camberwell. Jump on the bus and you'll be there in 10 mins.

Yes, there is one in Camberwell and it's always rammed...

You're right about there being one in Camberwell although that 10 minute figure is a bit dodgy dossier, depends where you are in East Dulwich really. It is, though, missing in East Dulwich - Food Wise.

What!! Not a good thing at all. Allowing bleach to get into food as a result of 'overly enthusiastic' cleaning would be bad enough, however, the use of bleach to disguise the smell of spoiled fish is not unheard of.. Rotten fish would certainly account for the week long squits - ew..!

In ED.....it definitely would be great to have a South Indian restaurant as long as the dosas weren't ridiculously over-priced. There is something fabulous about eating food from a banana leaf too.

Loving the Jack Rabbit Slim American-style diner idea. 24 hrs. Malted milkshakes, proper burgers and vanilla cokes all round.

[felt-tip]

An Ottolenghi would be devastating down here - or that kind of thing.

You can do that at Ganapati - and get fab dosas too :)

Not East Dulwich but only a short walk away (Holly Grove SE15) :)

I'm salivating now just thinking about Ganapati's food ................

Thanks for that Sue (tu)

I know it's tantamount to sacrilege round these parts, but... we were a bit disappointed with our latest visit to Ganapati.

[KidKruger]

Didn't know about Ganapati, gonna have to roll in there and see if they will do me a thali on a leaf, I lived on them for months as they were the cheapest way to get full in South India - will be gutted to pay more than Rs25 though !!

Other: Though not a vegetarian, I do like veggie food and am surprised there is not a dedicated veggie restaurant around SE22.

[The Minkey]

Ganapati isn't cheap, but it's good ;-) And there's a lovely little courtyard garden out back.

thali on a leaf is pretty much their signature dish (although i've tended to enjoy some of their other dishes more)

[paulipedia]

Ganapati on the corner of Bellenden Road and Holly Grove is supposed to be amazing for Southern Indian food

Why was that Jeremy? The last meal I had there a month or so back was absolutely amazing so I hope they haven't deteriorated! :-S
