One thing we don't need is more curry houses round here! Why did the chopsticks close, lack of business? I never went in myself, just didnt like the look of the place for some reason, possibly others thought the same?


If I had my way I decent italian pizzaria retaurant would open up there. It still surprises me that there isnt one on LL, a pizza place with 'mama mia' style italian chefs and waiters would coin it for sure.

I hear you - and I agree that a place like that would do really well on the lane. But compared to where we were 3 years ago, the selection of Italians has improved beyond all hope


If Chopsticks became a SOUTH Indian restaurant tho, that would be sufficiently different from all of the Anglo Banglo places currently in place and I wouldn't mind.


If it became a really good chinese I would be even happier. Or the long mooted Vietnamese for that matter


I popped in today to look at the pop up and didn't realise just how nice the garden out the back is

Without doubt a good Vietnamese restaurant would do well, but no doubt it's a huge financial outlay to start a new restaurant.


I remember Chopsticks when it was just a take-away and had been disappointed withn the food more than once so never went back when it became a proper Restaurant.


Let's be honest though, we don't really need another Curry House!

A "curry house"! What a sad, limiting and shallow term to describe what COULD be a treasure trove of culinary delights, which a good Indian restaurant generally is...! Wait for what was chopsticks to reopen and then vote on whether you think it's a "curry house" or something far superior. And no, I'm not one of the owners, neither am i family! Just someone who likes to keep an open mind about things and not prejudge them.
Bit harsh Shaila?? I don't think curry 'house' is a shallow term but a description most people can identify with.... has no bearing on the culinary delights any restaurant offers... there are good/bad all types of eateries.... I would not take offence about a very widely used description of an Indian Restaurant....

Spot on. If it is turned into something like the restaurants around Drummond Street it will be a fantastic addition and very different from anything available at present.

Yes indeed, or even better, something like Ganapati!


If it was even half as good as Ganapati it would still be better than the rest of the Indian restaurants on Lordship Lane ....

    • Just a review for Andy. I have now used him for various jobs for 5 years or so. An absolute and complete star. Always goes above and beyond, never cuts a corner, and always prices incredibly fairly. If you need a handyman...he is your man. Could not recommend more highly.
    • Don’t know about cafes but the Victoria and Montpelier pubs always have always encouraged people working during the day.
    • Thank you Saied for the amazing work! I will see you in a few months.
    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
