There are 8 'Curry Houses' on Lordship Lane / Grove Vale.

They are hardly 'identikit' tandooris. They are very different as curry lovers like the regulars

of the Curry Club would tell you. They all have their own favourite curry places that others are

not so keen on.


This will be the 4th ? rebirth of an Asian food outlet after previously being a Fish & Chip shop.

Eastern Eye, Cinnamon Club, Veer Zara being previous Asian restaurants.


No doubt Curry Club (including myself) will be among the first to try out this new place when it opens..

The Menu today in Indian restaurants is far more extensive than it was in 1985..


Fish & Chip shops are offering the same menu straight out of 1860...

Strange that Veer Zara and the one next door to it are almost always empty then.


Yes, they are pretty much all out of 1985 and Ive not been in one ED "curry house" that I didn't find disappointing. Fortunately, Ganapati is just down the road and I live in hope that VZ might relaunch along those lines.

The Curry Club has been going for 8 years and we go to a different L.L. Indian restaurant every month.

We have been to all of the Curry restaurants many many times.

Usually 6 - 12 of us. We are seldom disappointed.


We have been to Ganapati once maybe twice.. ?

There were 8 ish of us and certainly several of us were disappointed.

I'm a small eater but with a starter, popadoms main, rice, bread, and a dessert I wasn't full.


What ever the restaurant is called, supposedly it is to have a B.B.Q pit and serve cocktails.

So Indian food with a Turkish twist.. ?? Sound good to me.

I have no problem with the kind of generic anglicised Indian food these restaurant along LL serve. In fact I often like it a lot. Just don't think we need so many, doing very similar food.


Ganapati - I remember going to the restaurant five or six years ago and feeling it was really mediocre. Tough meat, lacking flavour, and not worth the money. But since the takeaway opened we've been using it regularly and we've always loved it (and we're definitely not small eaters!). The menu does vary, maybe they don't always get it right?


Dishoom is fun, but I'd be happy with proper, simple home-cooked-style regional Indian or Bangladeshi food. If it was done well it would leave the other LL curry houses for dust.

I thought it was a point worth making - I assumed they probably did charge for corkage.

    • Just a review for Andy. I have now used him for various jobs for 5 years or so. An absolute and complete star. Always goes above and beyond, never cuts a corner, and always prices incredibly fairly. If you need a handyman...he is your man. Could not recommend more highly.
    • Don’t know about cafes but the Victoria and Montpelier pubs always have always encouraged people working during the day.
    • Thank you Saied for the amazing work! I will see you in a few months.
    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
