We always go to the Dulwich Tandoori - plenty of choice, large pieces of meat / chicken in the curries and plenty for veggies. The kids LOVE it there! And it's cheap!


Top Tip - DON'T go to the Three Monkeys Sunday buffet - the starters were very good, but the mains were like soup with the odd bit of meat down the bottom - very poor value for money.

Pistachio Club - always consistently good (been a few times on a Sunday) - and not only the old favourites. Last time (couple of weeks ago) they had a lovely mild prawn dish in a coconut sauce.


Think its still ?6.95 for adults and they are always topping up the buffet with fresh food

Do you not find the Sunday Buffet a bit... manky? Curries are even greasier than usual, made all the more unpleasant by the lukewarm temperature. Tandoori chicken usually consists of scrappy little bits of drumstick and wing. And there's often some sort of ambiguous looking deep fried sort of "fritter" things.


However, I will admit that it represents reasonable value if you eat enough to keep you going for the whole day.

I have always understood that the "all you can eat buffet" came into being as a way of getting rid of any surplus food/stock from the previous week?


Not being a curry fan in particular, I can't really comment on quality but if people enjoy it, with no ill effects, then they do appear to represent good value for money.

Without a doubt the Pistachio Club and the Surma.


We have a problem where we are known in both and have to approach each restaurant from a different angle. My favourite part of the buffet is prawn and spinach. If either do not have it, they will prep it and put it on the buffet table.


What more can you ask.

I agree with Jeremy.. My problem with any of those 'All You Can Eat' buffets is that the restaurants are not a charity and have to make money (obviously)so in order to get some returns from these buffet's, i'm guessing they'd have to buy the cheapest meat of unknown (to us) provenance.. I'm not insisting on 'organic blah blah' but it does worry me a bit about what i'm eating. But like Wino says: if people enjoy it, with no ill effects.. then hey, you can't knock it i suppose

as for which bits of the chicken/lamb whatever end up in the buffet, it's probably:


a) only along similar lines to what people are mosre used to eating in Asia anyway

b) preferable to the factory floor scrapings used in 4 burgers for a pound type outlets...

Oh don?t be so precious you lot. Yeah Sunday buffets are an opportunity to use up the food that is on its way out and they are only a step above canteen food but what?s wrong with that? It is all reflected in the price. They?re fun and cheap not fine dining.
I've had a few of them and personally I rate the Dulwich Tandoori the highest. I also disagree that the food quality is compromised, at the Dully T the food was as good as when I have been there for a proper meal. I reckon that through the mass production of curries in big vats they reduce the average production cost per customer and so still turn over a decent profit. Economy of scale basically.

    • 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
