Award winning restaurants in East Dulwich?


Ohcecilia!

Recommended Posts

I received a leaflet through the door from a local Indian restaurant on Lordship Lane. This restaurant claims to be:


Winner of the Good Food Award 2013

Winner of the Good Eating Guide 2013

Winner of the AAA Guide of Excellence 2013

Food hygiene rating of 4


I didn't know one restaurant could win so many awards! Albeit I haven't heard of half of these awards... But they wouldn't make them up I'm sure..


Do we have any other award winning restaurants in East Dulwich?

Isn't Surma the one that calls itself "award winning" because it was once (back in the day) voted "best Indian restaurant" in a poll on this very forum?


And still advertises itself as if that award was recent?

Well one thing for sure is that Surma certainly isn't winning any awards in the southwark food hygiene awards with a 2 out of 5 :(


Nor by the looks of it are the majority of the curry houses/eateries in lordship lane, would hate to think of the state of the produce prior to cooking may be in some places in the Lane based on the rating system below

Is this restaurant Veer Zaara? I received a leaflet through the door from them with the same claims. I'm sceptical about such awards. As a kid I used to work in a fish 'n' chip shop (not in this area). The owner used to tell me that he was often approached by companies offering to sell him these sorts of awards. I suspect that is what has happened here.


That said, I actually like Veer Zaara and think it is one of the better curry restaurants on the lane. I've seen a few negative comments about them on this forum but the comments are old. For me, Veer Zaara is underrated; the most overrated is Tandoori Nights (although from reading recent posts it seems that this place used to be really good but it has gone downhill). Surma is decent too.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
