I took my daughter and son-in-law there for lunch in the Summer. My son-in-law said afterwards that his heart had sunk when we said we were going for a pizza, but he had been too polite to say anything, however they were both really impressed with the price and quality. One of my granddaughters is dairy free for health reasons, and they were really accommodating in using her "special cheese" (ie not really cheese) to make a pizza for her.

I really hope local residents and shopkeepers won't be as badly affected as the people and businesses in Herne Hill were. ETA: Oh, and thanks for the transport info, EDmummy and Applespider, very much appreciated.
  4. There is also a large van, transporter and police van blocking the right hand turn on the South Circular by the entrance to the woods.

And putting in my twopennorth, I think it's racist too. "Hints of New Delhi"? WTF? Why on earth would anybody bring New Delhi into a thread about a shop in East Dulwich? And what have building extensions and pedestrians having to "walk in the gutter" got to do with the situation here? Oh, hang on ......
  6. 31 October? Surely they have to allow more time than that for responses?
  7. Well I think some of us were interested in the discussion, even if you weren't!

  9. Very sorry to hear of your distressing experience at what must already have been a very emotional time for you. I'm wondering whether any of what you describe might be of interest to either the police or to Trading Standards (if that still exists). Or isn't there some professional body of auctioneers who may be able to help? At least they could strike this company off their list, assuming they are on it.
  10. What was interesting for me was that the case showed up my own prejudices. Until I saw a picture of the bakers on Facebook, on hearing them described as anti-gay Christians I had assumed that they were grizzly old people. Just goes to show. But from a legal point of view, apart from anything else, it seems to me to have been the right decision.
  11. I didn't know Ravi Shankar did a Sunday buffet, I have no idea when that started. We didn't go there for a buffet, we went there for a dosa! But they had mini dosas as part of the buffet, with the accompaniments and everything, plus loads of other stuff. Including desserts, but I was too full by then ..... Btw this was on Sunday evening.
  12. Grok Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Yes, Sue does seem to like bemoaning Jaflong on > here. I have said - once - that their decor and buffet are both bland and that the service was inattentive. I don't think that equates to a "liking for bemoaning Jaflong on here." I have never commented on the food from their main menu as I haven't tried it, however a local paper is never going to give a local restaurant a bad review, is it, particularly a new one .... I criticised their flyer purely because it was the latest to come through my door and I glanced through it. I thought I made it clear that it was just one of many similar flyers whose mistakes also cause me irrational rage. Foxy, if printers made those kind of errors they would be quickly out of a job because nobody would use them! And I tend to notice things like that - I didn't spend hours scouring the flyer for mistakes, it was a quick read through, so I probably did miss some. But if it had been my flyer I would have proofread it with a fine tooth comb and then got at least one other person to do the same. ETA: Oh, and by the way, Grok, Jaflong did put us in a window seat the day we went. Because there was nobody else in there, and I guess they wanted the place to look full from the outside.
  13. The Diwana Bhel Poori House does much the same food as the Ravi Shankar and I was once told it was owned by the same people, though I don't know if that is true. The Ravi Shankar's kulfi is wonderful, but I forgot to have any last night :( There is another Indian restaurant in the same street which does meat dishes, but I haven't been there for years. There used to be a shop selling Indian sweets and chutneys, but I didn't notice whether that was still there. There's a good little shop at the end of the road for things like spices. ETA: And the Bree Louise just round the corner has a huge selection of real ales .....

  15. Phlox Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Here is a picture, sorry it's wonky, don't know > how to do screengrab. Cringe indeed. Thanks. Oh dear. BTW screengrab: If you are using a PC or laptop, there should be a key on your keyboard which says "print screen". Press it when you've got the screen up in front of you you want to grab. Then go into a new page/document in something like Word or Notepad (in landscape format probably) and just press control V which will paste the screengrab onto the page, and then you can save it. Don't know how to do it on a phone yet though, sorry.

  17. Businesses who don't proofread their flyers before sending them to print, and/or (sometimes) don't get somebody to read them whose first language is English. Jaflong - I'm looking at you here. But it could be many many others ....... Bring your own Alchol We can prepare all these dishes stated on the menu with marinated tikka spices to cooked in clay oven which si cost an additional ?1.20 This traditional dish is prepared form specially imported ....... Chicken/Quron (I presume they mean Quorn. Googling Quron brings up not some exotic Asian delicacy but a weird urban dictionary definition of "a cool laid back person" - which definition also contains a typo, GRRRRR) Your selection cooked with cream and coconut to produce Two layers of bred deep fried Leftover container charger will apply ?2 Child under 5 is free (bargain, if you are looking for a child under 5) If you enjoy your meal, please tell other But I do love their description of Curry (Medium) - "For when you are feeling a little more adventurous" :)) And to be clear - I am not having a go at the fact that they have drafted a flyer containing mistakes, which is entirely understandable. I'm irrationally enraged at the fact that they haven't had it properly proofread before sending it to print ..... ETA: Oh, and BNG, my Topfield does that as well sometimes. It's very very annoying, particularly when you get a load of a different programme and/or ads at the begininng and then miss the end of the programme you want to watch.
  18. Had an amazing Sunday buffet at the Ravi Shankar in Drummond Street last night. South Indian vegetarian for those who don't know it. Really tasty food.?7.95 each. Absolute bargain. Remembered we had Indian Mischief in Lordship Lane for a while, but it never did very well, not sure why. They never did a buffet though, if memory serves.
  19. Thanks for the add. Thanks for looking. Share if you agree.

  21. Given the high likelihood of a terrorist attack in London sooner or later, I think it's good people are being vigilant. Better a few possibly false alarms than the alternative.
  22. :(

  24. It's up against some stiff competition, so fingers crossed!
