Curry on Lordship Lane

You're well catered-for then Foxy. This time it's me at home with the pot-roast brisket, cooking my own.


I have to put up with them from time to time when a group dictates - bring on the 'Exquisite flavours! Delicately spiced! Regional specialities! And so on - but they're all the bloody same on LL, plus or minus 5%.


The first restauranteur to offer a superior alternative down that way is going to rake it in!

If Ganapati was to open a second branch, on LL, I reckon it would do very well.


But they've probably got their hands full with their Holly Grove branch and the new (ish) takeaway.


To the best of my knowledge it's the only place round here doing Indian food which really stands out (though its prices reflect that).


The others are all much of a muchness, as you say.

Yes Ganapati is obviously a cut about the bog standard LL curry houses. But I'm not convinced Ganapati is that expensive.. it's more that the crap places are really, really cheap.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
