Due to this topic being excessively long, a new 2024 "New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham" has been opened here. Please continue the discussion there.

Xoco.


Another Indian restaurant?? From the name, I rashly assumed it would be Mexican .... but it has an Indian Grill. Can you have a Mexican restaurant with an Indian grill??

"Grand opening" today ......


ETA: Oh, they've posted the menu further up the other thread. It's Indian with a few additions I think.

Yep, xoco menu looks v odd. Have commented a few times that the local curry house proprietors should try something different, but this really looks most unusual. I would have thought that if they were going for a casual modern slant, a good concept to take influence from would be something like Dishoom.

Powder Cosmetics at 369 Lordship Lane is now open. It looks very nice inside but I wouldn't really know what the selection or prices are like...


Also, I see that the sunbed shop at 355 Lordship Lane (which I never ever saw open) has been sold. Hopeful that means a real business will move in soon and make that shopping strip a bit more lively.

On the subject of curries and Dishoom, Chai Naasto in Beckenham were looking at East Dulwich and had looked on both the Lane and also the Grove Tavern site but all were too expensive (Seperately I hear the Dulwich Estate don't want anyone to use the Grove for retail as have it earmarked for flats).


Such a shame Chai couldn't find somewhere as it would be great to have such a fantastic Indian place on the lane and would force the plethora of mediocre curry places to buck up their acts!

So did The Crystal Palace Tavern (now The Great Exhibition). It didn't have a kitchen. You could get food delivered there.

I didn't know that.. The Hob had a list of Menus so you could get food delivered.

They provided a plate and cutlery. Not sure if they charged.

Hopefully not too long

I suspect it'll work quite well for groups of people, as they have a wide range of things on offer.


But we're so well catered for for most of the types of food on the menu in this area- if I wanted a burger i'd go to one of the specialist places (meat Liquor or Honest), if I wanted Indian, well I don't need to spell it out.

Yep, but the number of places doing really good dim sum in London... can probably count on one hand.


If 'OK' dim sum will suffice, then Hong Kong City isn't that far away.

    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
