Hisar for meat is serviceable


But really, the Tarma & the Humus is pretty low grade gunk


So it's ok, but i'd not go out of my way to eat there


The Mangal place in Camberwell is better, tho a little salt heavy last time I ate there


It's hard to beat Green Lanes for good Turkish food, or up by Hackney Empire


Possibly due to more competition and comunity

Hisar is good for somewhere to go with the kids, or for a beer soaker on a night out with mates. It has its uses and the staff are very friendly. I like it.


I'm sure there is better if you want to search across London, but we are talking local comparisons to Koz and I think it was better than Koz, hence it has won out.

Nope, it turns out that the guy who managed Koz actually owned the lease hold and can make more money from renting it out to another business and moving to Beckenham.


So not a local business forced out by greedy landlords after all!!

I liked Koz when I lived in ED.


It will have strong competition in Beckenham though.


There are already great Turkish places in Hisar, Lalezar & Kemer. Koz will have the biggest size though, so may cater to larger groups. Hisar is run by the original owners of the ED branch too & is much nicer.

Foxey: the Lewisham cinema closed in 1981. The Deptford one in 1970! By "a cult thing these days" do you mean "in the last 30 years"?


In a much shorter timescale there have been new cinemas built at Surrey Quays, Greenwich, the O2 and Canary Wharf. None of them have closed down.

I didn't say it was - I said it lost out to Hisar.

There's Wuli Wuli and Silk Road in Camberwell for good sit down Chinese meals. And Mangal across the road for fantastic Turkish.

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here.

      Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.

      I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
