It is not in East Dulwich but I went to Meze Mangal in Lewisham last week and it was absolutely utterly divine!

We all kept ooohhing and ahhhing over the food, they give you lots, and the price is so cheap!

It was packed and intimate, the stuff was great and it was the absolute best tasting Turkish food I have ever tried.

We all have stated that we will be going there for birthdays and special occasions now!!


Otherwise I love Springers in East Dulwich, just opposite Dulwich Hospital, it is good old English/European fare, freshly cooked, nicely presented, and reasonable priced, very nice!

Chez Bruce is definitely on Wandsworth Common & I had to book six weeks in advance to secure a table for two on a Saturday evening! It's also SW London ..17 (I think) sorry to be a pedant :)

If you want reasonably priced food in a venue that would suit a big group, what about Hisars.. barbeque food without the stress of cooking it yourself & afterwards there are the delights of the Lane... Black Cherry (for a champagne cocktail or the 'Zombie' of which you are only allowed two per person per night due to the high alcohol content!!!!) Liqorish (for a bit of a boogie) then home! There, that's your night sorted. Hope you have a great time whatever you end up doing :)-D

Also being a pedant, it's actually SW18 - my parents used to live just up the road :)

Why thank you, Sue, for the correction but I did say 'I think' the postcode was SW17... :))

I'd suggest a couple of options....we eat at these places regularly and are foodies....each of them is relaxed.


1. Good Gastro Pubs: The Rye (but not if your party is bigger than 8) or The Palmerston. The Rosendale is very good, but a tadge pricey.

2. Good Italian: Si Mangia...this is great for occasions and larger groups.....great food and great staff mean you can't go far wrong....very reasonable and great for veggies

Ganapati South Indian restaurant on Holly Grove in Bellenden Road (Peckham) is fantastic and has an extensive veggie selection.


As is La Luna on Walworth Road. Lovely Italian food at reasonable prices. The restaurant is nothing flash, but the food is really great and staff are lovely.


I've heard good things about Si Mangia but haven't tried it. Not really that impressed by any of the restaurants in East Dulwich, not at the prices they charge for sometimes quite average food.

Went to Si Mangia for the first time a couple of days ago and LOVED it. Good value, good food, (child) friendly service.


Also went to Locale on EAst Dulwich Road for lunch. We didn't eat off the set menu (?10 per head for two courses, plus drinks) so it ended up costing nearly ?50, inc 12.5% service charge! But that did include four exorbitantly priced (but jolly tasty) lattes (?11.80!!!!!!!!!!!)


The waiter was absolutely gorgeous and hilarious, too. You gotta go just to meet him. I think his name is Giggi.


I love Springers, too. Freshly cooked food clearly provided by a food enthusiast. It's lovely to meet the proprietor/chef who is obviously passionate about what he provides and also genuinely concerned that customers are satisfied. The service is good there, too. The staff have always seemed very knowledgeable (I'm not very knowledgeable) about the wines, etc.

I've got a life which I'm enjoying very much thanks, hence my "constant use of smileys".


Sorry I and they irritate you so much you have to spend part of your life commenting on them on a public forum!


I shall continue to use smileys as much as I want, and you of course have the freedom not to use them at all if you wish!

    • 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
