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.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Midway was a arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Benton, Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
