Some people have said that meat is overcooked or too salty (see reviews on website I set up). However, last time I was there I had rabbit - the meats had been wrapped around each other with delicately spiced layers and just delicious, similarly a truly authentic chicken biryani was a revelation and surpassed every previous such dish I had ever tasted.


Service, particularly drinks service, can be slow - but the decor and general friendliness makes up for this.


Also add that Ganapati is excellent - and at a lower cost. Decor more "rough & ready" but absolutely charming with good food.

1) Marmora Man is 100% that the quality of the meat and general quality of food served at Barbur is questionable. One day you leave half on your plate and the next you feel as though you've robbed them.


2) Scrap east dulwich. Put your best fighting trousers on and sneak across the border to Forest hills Kafe la behind fozzy hill train station and prepare to be amazed. It also has a Michael Palaeologus 5 star rubber stamp approval. If you disagree you will technically be spitting in his eye. I hear he has breakfast there sometimes as well.

Wht thanks you BBW.


I dont think that there are any "authentic" curry houses in the immediate area, if by that you mean similar to what you would get in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc. I have found one in South Croydon - full of asian taxi drivers stopping for dhosas and more; I can remember the name at the moment.


The rest are down to personal taste. Cafe La is good with a contemporary menu similar to Tandoori Nights (but cheaper), Omrith etc. The rest are good but traditional places that serve anglo-indian food. None of them can afford to be bad as the competition in the area is too fierce.


Similarly the Thai places are much of a muchness.


You could try Buddah Jazz on Denmark Hill. Most people who have been there (inc me) speak highly of its south east asian food and good service.

The nearest authentic Indian/Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants are probably in or around Bethnal Green but steer clear of the obvious Anglo-Indian style tourist traps along Brick Lane.


One of my favourites is the Lahore (218 Commercial Road, London, E1 2JT - 0872 148 3764) but there are many similar gems that cater to the local Asian community.


my view is that....

the food is pretty good (not mind-bogglingly, life changing-ly so, but consistent in its quality and damn tasty)

it is great value for money

it's BYO so the bill is always easy on the pocket (and you can drink what every you like)

it's cosy, unpretentious, popular and a long standing ED favorite with lots of people I know...

it's nearly always full, also a good sign, so best to book


and no... before anyone asks.... I do not work there or own it!!!

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
