They seem to change chefs: one is very good, the other not so.

Seconded. It's our weekly take-away of choice. But it's not in Peckham, it's opposite the Clock House at the bottom of Barry Road.


Babur take-away is also great, especially the meat thali, which is a bit of a bargain for all the tasty chicken ticka, tandoori lamb, and even a prawn dish you get for the ?12.


And Omrith makes similarly delicious food.

Ganapati is rubbish. I had an awful meal in there. Bland food, weird student-like ambience.... Certainly would never go back and not sure why people rave about it. Omrith at the top of Forest Hill Road should be checked out. The service can be random but the food is generally excellent, different to your usual but worth it.

Yes, sadly, most of the curry houses on LL are pretty standard (as in your trad 'Anglo' curry). Dulwich Tandoori about six years ago was very good, but whoever the chef was, at that time, upped sticks and it hasn't been the same since. (my mate and i still get glassy eyed when recalling his Chicken Tikka Balti..) If you want something a bit different, then yes, Ganapati is the way to go. I'm currently working in Leicester till the end of May.. Oh sweet, Brahma! The scales have fallen from my eyes. The curries i'm trying there are out of this world! A great selection of Southern Indian (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu) and Gujarati restaurants (mainly from the West and primarily vegetarian). Even the 'standard' curry houses are pretty special. Spoilt for life.. I think the only time i'll be going back to any of the curry houses on LL is after a few pints.

xxxxxxxxxx


You dismiss it as rubbish on the basis of one "bland" meal you didn't like?


What was it?

Most of these places are inconsistent - that's the problem. I've been to Ganapati twice, the first time was really good, but the second time we were both served tough meat in bland sauces. Similarly, the food was delicious on our first trip to Omrith, but the next time it was laughably bad and the place was filthy. Tandoori Nights is generally good, but we've had one or two bad dishes there too.

I'd say Tandoori Nights consistently has the highest standards, albeit they may have the odd wobble. I'd agree about Ganapati; I've had 2 excellent meals there and one very average one, along with some dodgy service.


My major bete noir is spinach paneer which is too creamy, which I think is vile and wrong. I think it's only the Surma which does a non-creamy one, although I can't be sure. You're right, joealessi, most places around ED are pretty similar really. Few places really stand out.

I would have always said ganapati, until Indian mischief.... Wow! Not the cheepest, but the freshest and most dynamically tasting curry around! I would also like to add that cooper of the "dogfather", on north cross road, does the best hangover cure EVER, with the "Slumdog".

Maybe over-crowded because people like it and want to go there?


It's a very small place, so I'm not sure how else it could be "set up"?


I tried to arrange a family meal there, they wouldn't take a booking for an evening meal because they said it wouldn't be fair on other people to have a big party (as in numbers of people). I thought that was quite refreshing. Some places would just have taken the money.


Each to their own, I guess. I think it's cosy and friendly and I like the food.

      Good places to eat near Rye Lane?

      Well, Peckham is a real place, whereas 'Bellenden Village' is an estate agent invention, and is topologically meaningless.

      Ok, I'll bite. It depends on what you are after (and budget) but our favourite is Forza Wine. We went when it was cold and dark, but it's a rooftop location so should be even better if it's sunny and bright. Link to review below. There's also a recent review on the site of 139 Fika which was pretty good. I'd say it was in Bellenden but they say it's in Peckham (maybe because it makes it sound cooler!). https://open.substack.com/pub/eatsdulwich/p/restaurant-review-forza-wine?r=8oe6m&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

I had a central heating issue and a leak - Robert went above and beyond.

We needed a tricky installation of a thermal store in a tight space. Rob turned up absolutely on time on both visits and got it all done ...  Quote   Private Message 1 month later...   Forest Hill Phil Posted November 17, 2022 Rob Mills, All Aspects Plumbing (07952 584171)   Called out Rob to fix an urgent and clearly visible water leak from the boiler system which he promptly and efficiently fixed. This left a slow leak with no obvious source.   He made an attempt to find it’s source keeping me up-to-date with what he was doing as I looked on. As it was a slow leak this was not successful and Rob took no money for his time at this stage. I was then able, with some telephone guidance from Rob, to record and feed back what was going on in his absence. This was sufficient for him to diagnose a loss of pressure on the air side of the expansion vessel put it right.   Rob is capable, friendly and considerate and keeps you as informed as you want to be without wasting time. I intend to continue call on him for my plumbing and central heating jobs.  Quote   Private Message 1 month later...   The Minkey Posted December 20, 2022 Another recommendation for Rob Mills. My HW failed last week. Rob came round, diagnosed the boiler issue & fixed it. Very quick & efficient. Reasonable rates. Nice guy too. Will definitely be using him as my go to plumber for the future.  Quote   Private Message 4 weeks later...   hendricks Posted January 13, 2023 Another shout out for Rob. Definitely a keeper in anyone's tradesmen address book. Sorted out my inefficient radiators & also sorted a plumbing issue. Top bloke, will definitely use again.  Quote   Private Message 6 months later...
