I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct section so I'm really sorry if I'm not, but can anyone recommend a good curry restaurant to take a big group to? Think it will be about 14 people. Unbelievably we haven't eaten at any of them on Lordship Lane - I guess we don't get out much!


Thanks so much

You will find endless discussion about curry on Lordship Lane if you do a search.


In my opinion they are all mostly ok.....nothing of note....just your bog standard curry houses with the usual offerings on the menu.


I agree with traveler2 that Babur does have a slight edge. It is more expensive than the usual but has interesting dishes that are nicely presented. Nice cocktails too.

I misread the title of this and was expecting A thread about Sid James, babs Windsor and co making a film about lordship lane, sadly curry and carry look similar during a quick glance...


Oh matron, you couldn't make it up, conways obviously provide the slapstick element and the obstructions that are so essential to the script ...

The Curry Club goes to a different Local curry shop every month..

We have been to all of them many times in the 8 years curry club has been running..


Open to all we get 6 - 12 people turn out each month...


We all have our favourite places.. sometimes food can be amazing other times underwhelming..

Often places struggle to cope with larger numbers..


Dulwich Tandoori is probably the best to handle large numbers..

With food for a large group all arriving at the same time..


..also Jaflong but they do not sell alcohol although you can 'Bring Your Own' with no charge for corkage..

so you can save a lot on your bill.

I think the curry Cabin is the best of the Lordship Lane restaurants, but Lemon Tree in Sydenham and Eastern Cuisine in Gypsy Hill are by far the best Indian restaurants in the area. I've always thought that the Babur is incredibly over-rated, overpriced, and nothing at all special.

They must have changed their chef then. We stopped going there after a terrible meal, and they told us the chef was drunk in the kitchen! Very Fawlty Towers!


I don't think any of the Lordship Lane Indian restaurants are reliably good, unfortunately.

I don't think Lordship Lane is the best place in the area for Indian food.

Never happy are you Sue? Always having a pop at local businesses. Don't you get bored? But more to the point do you think ANYBODY on here actually listens to you constantly slating places.


Dulwich Tandoori is a fabulous Indian, the whole family recommend and when our parents come over from the Cotswolds they always insist we go.

Excuse me?


Please post up links to my posts where I am "constantly slating places" and "always having a pop at local businesses"!


And then please let us all know how many of my posts either "slate" or "have a pop" at local businesses.


Thanks.


Oh, and maybe stop singling me out for giving my opinion and sharing my experiences on a forum which is for - oh! Giving opinions! And sharing experiences!


I have had many fantastic meals in East Dulwich, and I have also had some piss poor ones. I expect that applies to most people who ever eat out in the area.


ETA: Here, I'll help you find my posts where I am "constantly" and "always" doing these things.


Just click on my name, and a link to all my posts will come up, so you can trawl through them and find the relevant ones. Should be easy for you as you say there are so many :))


I look forward to your final count with interest - not holding my breath though :))

I have no reason to believe any of the curry houses down on LL are dishing-up anything different to same bog-standard oily glop they were dishing-up several years ago.


Fortunately this sort of food is quite forgiving - as are many of the punters (as well as being half cut half the time, which helps) - so they will persist (as they have done here and do up and down the land.)

Mmmh. *bob* , I actually like oily curries. I find them easier to digest.


They retain their heat longer than the mushy thick sauces that are found in most LL curry houses.


Also I tend to eat Curry before drinking and when dining alone (as apposed to Curry Club nights)

I often drink water with my meal. It means you get to taste the food better.

Despite common belief that lager goes with curry, it really doesn't.


I'm usually sober when I go out to eat.

(This does not apply to Doner Kebab)


P.S. Water is not meant to be drunk to cool your mouth down if you choose a curry that is to hot for your palate.

Cool your mouth with Cucumber Raita or coconut.

      Don't Own a Dog if you Can't Pickup their Crap

      By SalmonKing · Posted

      Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on?

      Spay/Neuter Your Cats!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

      Spay/Neuter Your Cats!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
