new restaurant in LL

[happyman]

hi ne1 been to the new restaurant in LL??

[sweetgirl]

does it have a name?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oh I think we can guess which restaurant

And I think we can guess why happyman is asking the question

the clues are all there... first time post... "asking" about a business...

My guess is the new Indian up by William Rose where Coriander used to be

[????]

where's William Rose? ;-)

[KalamityKel]

Didnt know there were any "new" restaurants about LL these days... after all seanMG, I think you'll agree, if it's the one you're thinking of then it has already been open a while no? ;)

[Jeremy]

SMG, there used to be a time when you'd give people benefit of the doubt. You've changed, man...

[SeanMacGabhann]

I was overrun.. I tried to change the system... but the system changed me ;-)

Anyway, happyman, you'll be pleased to know that a whole bunch of us will be coming to the new restaurant next week as part of the curry club - usually between 8 and 15 people turn up but anyone is welcome to come along and join in

(Kel, point taken, but it's still relatively "new" to some people. Like, say... the manager)

[KalamityKel]

Hahahahaha!!! SeanMG LOVE it!

[PeckhamRose]

I'm not going because of a technicality.

"Ne1" makes me shudder!

[Domitianus]

I will NOT be going on account of a matter of personal principle.

what would u like me to say???

[Huguenot]

happyman, research is good but not declaring an interest is considered very bad form.

For example, had someone posted a negative review you may have challenged it. However, it makes a significant difference to how your response is interpreted if readers know you're the manager.

Your opinion would hold slightly more weight if readers considered it independent. Traders know this, and try to post under anonymity to get extra influence for free.

This would be quite simply trying to gain an advantage through deception. Because readers don't like to be conned, it would have a very negative effect on your business.

However, it doesn't apply in this case, because you've swiftly moved to dispel any confusion.

Well done!

Happyman - do you have the same chef???

The Coriander did the best curry on Lordship Lane, so hopefully that won't change. We were regulars.

Sunday buffet was nice and hot (some other Lordship Lane curry houses have only *lukewarm* buffets because they insist to having it next to the front door so it goes cold quickly). Sunday buffet also had fab starters, prepared fresh - yum.

Service was a bit slow sometimes even when Coriander wasn't busy, so hopefully the new place will be better. Look forward to trying it out.

Happyman - can you confirm whether you are the owner of this place.

Were you asked to vacate the premises under the old management?

Okay, I'll let you into the secret. I have a moral objection to the sale of foodstuffs from public premises.
