Having passed this establishment on Holly Grove on many occasions I took Mrs. Eccentric out last night for a sample. A truly fantastic meal. Not your average LL curry house, you could identify and taste every ingredient, highly recommended.

I would also like to declare no financial interest in this establishment!

I have to agree. IT's not far from us, and is fantastic - get yourselves along, you won't be disappointed.

If the weather is good, and you book in advance, you can sit out back in their little yard. They only have one long table out there, so it's nice and private. They have nice plants and flower baskets out there, and it really is lovely! I was sat out there the first time my friend took me there, and it was so nice.... Maybe that's why I'm so positive on the place... Good first impressions. Have always liked it since though.


Sitting outside would also sort the smelling of cooking thing ;-) I've not actually noticed it before, but it is quite a little place, so I can well believe it... Small price to pay though, you can just take you clothes to CSM dry cleaners to get them sorted ;-)

Went there last night for first time and can highly recommend - little gem of a place. Excellent food and service (chef is a woman by the way) and we didn't smell of cooking afterwards. It's pretty and original - small garden looked inviting but We sat inside. There are outside tables on pavement area - only possible drawback are skulking hoodies who occasionally drift past, having been mugged around there a few years ago I took a minimalist handbag (in terms of contents for a laydee) with me.

Okay I am going to run and hide for cover after I post this.


Ganapati is good. I would go so far as to say it is without doubt the best in Peckham Rye/ East Dulwich borders.


But it is not amazing in my humble opinion.


Babur in Brockley is amazing.... http://www.babur.info/website/index.php?pageId=home


Try it! It's worth the trip...

I went to Ganapati early one evening with eldest daughter this pushy waitress asked if we had booked, the place was empty except for a couple at one table. She then said we are fully booked and need the table at 9pm it was 7pm when we entered.

My daughter had the lamb which was good, I had a chicken breast which was succulent but neither dish was outstanding.

We had 5 poppadoms and the bill was ?40 which I remembered most. The previous week we had eaten just as well for under ?20 at the rye hotel.

Agreed!


A note of warning though. Although Babur also provides a home delivery service which streteches to ED this is not to the same menu, or anything like the same standard, as that of the restaurant proper. (It is based at different premises). That said I think the standard of the home delivered food is still quite superior to the ED places.

    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
    • I really have to smile as I was the one, years ago who posted about what Gala was.. had not a clue, but drove and drive regularly. Felt such a fool at the time but wow, years later post still comes up.. with comments. Still don’t understand why a lot of park is cordoned off and glad not a resident overlooking park.. must be so noisy but now dates have been kindly supplied, those that don’t want to chill and listen to music in their flats/houses can up sticks and explore UK or abroad. Totally understand that in a built up area and millions in London, music events take place all over the capital to allow access to all.  Brockwell  Park, Dulwich Park, don’t hear anything going on in or around Telegraph Hill or indeed Horniman Gardens.. Crystal Palace I believe do their own thing.  Do these events , clearly charge, provide their own insurance, public liability, crowd control, first aiders, security and policing? Rubbish clearance etc  
    • Personally I think the second weekend has always been a tactical ploy with no real intention of going ahead with it. The council then turn it down (saying they have listened to us, which of course they haven’t) and announce that they will only license one weekend. GALA get the result that they want - job done. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the council even suggested this ploy, they are so desperate to keep the event.
