I think thalis are pretty boring, whether on a leaf or not!


Ganapati change their menus regularly, but if there's something you particularly like from a previous menu I think they would try to do it for you, assuming they had the ingredients in :)


They do do other things on leaves - eg an amazing crab starter .... yum :)

The meat was rather tough (both my duck and my g/f's lamb), and I expected more flavour. My friends also seemd underwhelmed by theirs (squid, and the thali thing). I think it should have been better considering the price.


The first time I went there I liked it. Maybe we were a little unlucky this time.

KidKruger - that made me smile. You'll be lucky to get anything less than Rs250 in the wealthy UK. I recently ate in a South Indian restaurant in Glasgow's Merchant City and I couldn't believe that a dosa cost ?10! 700 bucks? ::o


Which reminds me....ED doesn't have anywhere to eat like this

Re posting on a thread before reading it. Ganapati "only" mentioned 5 times previous to this post.

I think that whole area has been subject to 'regeneration' or whatever its called..my brother works nearby so knows some nice places for lunch. Could do with a lime soda now...


What about a pie and mash shop in ED? Or even better....just mash? Mmmmmm :))

Yeah....I can visualise an 'East Dulwich Mash Cafe' on Northcross Road with people dressed up as 'giant potatoes' handing out menus and special offers outside. There will be potato-patterned tablecloths and matching wallpaper....


There is NOTHING like that in ED so it is definitely missing this food-wise and wholly relevant to the topic ;-)

I like how there is a picture of one of the staff members outside eating! They do have nice pizzas. I rate the Il Mirto version with sausage and sheep's cheese and their tuna one which you can get without cheese. They also have their sister restaurant across the park in Nunhead.

It's like saying 'there's a Tesco on Queens Road Peckham, why should there be one on East Dulwich Road'?

OOoohhh....



A Sausage Shop & cafe


I'd love that...


It could be called "Lick my bangers, then take them away"


Or "Yes please, I like a big sausage " Cafe & Shop


( like the one in Beckenham )



W**F

The Gowlett does have fab pizza. We ate just once at Il Mirto and our food was awful - burnt garlic bread with chunks of bitter raw garlic and the Chicken "special" that we watched them cook in the microwave!


Bangers and Mash gets my vote too. Simple and tasty.

Ganapati had succulent chicken but at forty quid for two of us,

a touch expensive and for Peckham it was top whack really.


We arrived at sixish and it was empty except for two couples, the waitress said loudly and accusingly "have you booked", the place was packed full of empty tables, so that irritated me.


Never bothered to return, the pushy 'I'm doing you a favour' waitress was enough to put me off for life, the food was good but not outstanding and the size of the bill is what I remember most after the obnoxious waitress.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
