reasonably priced restaurants in ED

[shrinkkate2]

I'm visiting East Dulwich after several years away and want to go out to eat locally on one of the evenings but Ive been told all the restaurants are too expensive. Surely there are still places you can get a meal for ?30 a head without drinks? Is the curry cabin still there?

[newboots]

Yes, Curry Cabin is still there. I imagine you could get a good meal for ?30 a head without drinks in any of the many curry houses on Lordship Lane. And just slightly off the beaten track (Forest Hill Road) there is Si Mangia which is a friendly and unpretentious Italian restaurant which I would recommend.

Bishop, great exhibition, actress, flying pig, any of the curry houses, Mr lui, sorsi morse, il mirto etc.. Basically anywhere bar Franklins and Palmerston.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Oh yeah...GBK and Koz too (and probably others)

[malcolmchurch]

Dulwich Tandoori is always excellent ....

[worldwiser]

Depends if you just wish to eat or eat well . At Patch and Franklins you could easily come in under budget for 2-course a la carte. Palmerston is a mite more so you'd be bang on budget there. ToastED you'd easily go over. Anywhere else and, in my experience, you're not going to be eating anything particularly memorable. The menu at French House looks very tempting and reasonably priced although I've not yet been.

Slightly over the hill, but two of you can eat (with a beer) at Silk Road in Camberwell for ?25 easy.

It's not ED, but then it's not run-of-the-mill Chinese food.

[Cedges]

Depends on your concept of reasonable...?30 a head is an occasion meal for me and my friends..

The new italian on bellenden road came to 25 quid a head with wine but without pudding. Insanely busy, so book.

French House on Lordship Lane is excellent. I've been a few times now. Prices are very reasonable & the food is excellent

[shrinkkate2]

Thanks everyone, I've narrowed it down to CC or French House..cheers

[Dodo1]

yes- will also recommend The Fench House.

The food at The French House is yummy, but I found it not very filling, so it might work out expensive if you were hungry ....... as I was when I went ......
