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.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
