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.

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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
