I took a drive out tonight along Dartmouth Road, sadly it has a sign on the door "Closed until further notice"

I do hope it's not the end for this place, but I'm not sure my hope's well placed

I'd liked to have given it a try

I normally try to ignore the comments left about local businesses on here, and I never really take much notice of opinions, as I like to go and see for myself and form my own...you know, in the old days before the T'internet & when you couldn't be bothered to check newspaper food columns for reviews *ages self* But I have worked in the food industry for nearly 30 yrs and know how hard is it is start up a new business today... I definitely wouldn't be able to afford the time and money, and admire those that put themselves out there and have a go. The fact is as I stated, a lot of time and care has been put in by people to build this place as I have watched it grow over the past months on my commute, and see a handful of people transform a tatty shop into something looking quite smart. The fact that I googled "Ash forest hill' and got led straight to this post with sarcastic comments on it before it's even opened made me sigh and want to wish them well.

cmon, it's not the end of the world. Quite a few posters have been encouraging, and at least we all know when the shop's opening, should we find ourselves in the area and a bit peckish.

Besides, as far as I'm concerned, if it's in the lounge then it's fair game for a bit of off-topic conversation.

I'd rather a Kofta than a Costa.

Oh how depressing. I moved in February so hadn't been by recently (and can't afford take aways at the mo). I really hope he's gone away for a bit, but I've always worried about how he'd last on that strip. Busy as it seems, I'm not sure he'd have really have had that much footfall.

He worked really hard at it and went the extra mile, little things like poking a couple of air holes in the top of your chip box so they didn't go sweaty made a big difference.

Fingers crossed it's not permanently closed.

[Seabag]

I know Otta, it's sad to see, but hopefully he'll be ok. Will keep an eye on it, see what occurs.

I suppose this shows how people feel when something is that bit better, like you say about the chips in the box. I love to see considerate individuals really trying hard, the difficult bit is getting that message across to people

Even harder, is getting that message across and making it viable into your business

Good luck to Ash, hopefully their "good food, with love" ethos and a generous footfall, will give them the customers in abundance

Good luck with the new business.

Hisar on Lordship Lane satisfies my kebab needs for the time being.

I have long since stopped frequenting other nearby kebab shops (where 'Every week is mystery meat').

The way some people are so rude its really sad. Don't knock them until you have tried them and so what that u have not checked your messages and responded to such rude comments has anybody ever thought that you are busy setting up a business wow I live local and have also seen the works being done and I must say the shop looks a million times better then it did before if you don't like kebab then don't bloody eat it no one is forcing you in there with a stick just leave them alone to get on with it

[savvygirl]

I'm awaiting a report from a friend who popped in tonight for a t/a. I hope its good as it will be a welcome alternative this side of east Dulwich. I wish them luck.

[Tylertoes]

Little disappointed that it's just another kebab shop, nothing different on the menu to any other place on LL, well actually it seemed to have less, even the specials board was pretty rubbish. The guy cooking asked another older guy hiding out the back to give him a hand serving some other customer's, his reply was 'what do i say ?' - what would you like was the answer ! Hope it works out for them, they've made such an effort with the decor, pity not as much with the menu. The kebabs we had were nice though.

[george74]

Good food; great decor and nice enough guys. A welcome addition to this side of East Dulwich. Hoping once they get settled they can extend their menu as quite limited right now.

Best of luck!!

[Pam50]

Just a thumbs up for ASH!

Had a chicken kebab from there today and it was tasty, not at all greasy and very good value.

Hope they become more confident with the menu. Free range chicken kebabs perhaps?? Good luck guys!

[aml1910]

Have tried the food from Ash......and it is DELICIOUS!!

[Poundshop]

I Love Kebabs.

Good Luck Ash.

Rude naysayers, go choke on your artisan bread you snidey snobs.

[Gary P]

Absolutely loving Ash kebabs. The food's all homemade and really tasty. Definitely recommend.

[Honoroaky]

We've had a couple of kebabs from there and they were great! Shame about the giant 'turd lollypop' sign that theyve had installed outside!
