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.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
