Loz, you are right... I realised that this weekend. The offy is still there.


Wid, unfortunately there's not much choice locally, but if you are willing to get on the bus/bike/car/train then Dragon Castle near Elephant & Castle is very good. People seem to rate Lamoon in Camberwell, I have not tried it though.

Tis true there is a link. One of the SMBS guys was coming out of the chopsticks building on Friday afternoon.


Hope it's going to be a bloody good Indian place and not just generic dishes. Does the fact that it will be veggie offer more hope?

Almost. It just needs a few cool bars, a few cool sneaker shops, an old brewery, a few

cool people, a bit more irony, a few cool bagel shops, a giant D-face sculpture, a few more

cool kids and a touch of slightly uneasy religious/cultural harmony and yeah, it's Brick Lane.

Hi,


"Curry house" has been mentioned more than once in this thread...It's a pity that this term is used as Indian cuisine is much more than curries! It's almost tantamount to calling a restaurant serving British cuisine a chip shop! Anyway, it is likely that an Indian vegetarian restaurant would serve all sorts of snacks e.g. dosas (very thin rice flour pancakes stuffed with tasty fillisng), bhel puri (tiny little flat breads heaped with lovely tasty things topped with a date chutney); idli sambar (rice cakes with a hot gravy with vegetables)...and more like this. If this is the case, it will certainly not e a "curry house" or like other Indian restaurants on LL. We'll have to wait and see what they come up with.


Someone mentioned Brick Lane...two major differences. The waiters in LL are not hanging out on the road hassling people to try out their highly over-rated fare; secondly, the food in LL is far superior to that in Brick Lane today - they seem to think that pouring different coloured gravies on thawed chicken should result in a chicken curry - well, IMO it doesn't!

I LOVE bhel puri and dosas but can't stand sickly spicy nondescript meat dishes like you get in most anglicised Indian restaurants so food as Shaila describes would be very welcome. If we had something like Diwana (sp?) in Drummond Street they'd be packed all the time.

apologies for 'short-hand' use of expression 'curry house'

quite agree that Indian cuisine is a various and wonderful thing...


Shaila Shah, your description of the dosas, bhel puri and idli sambar made me feel really peckish... delicious... can't wait

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
