New curry house - east dulwich road

[Louisa]

Had a stroll down EDR this afternoon and noticed the former Chinese buffet place next to Rose's fish and chip shop is about to become Jaflong Indian-Asian buffet (new sign up and work going on inside). Looks nice a good prices too from what I could see (prices are written up on the signage). Have these people left LL? I'm sure they had a restaurant there.

Cheers HMB. Looks good. Had no idea about it! Foxy you let me down, I was hoping for a personal pm on this one!

How comes the fox gets a personal tour and I have to find out going to the shop to stock up on vino. Not fair.

Louisa.

[DulwichFox]

Never had cause to give Jaflong a bad review.. Why would I of continued to use them for years if I had. ?

I VERY seldom give bad reviews about any particular restaurant.. I don't actually use many of them.

If memory serves you fell out with them after they complained to you because they saw you in another restaurant?

No.. There was conflict over an interview with a local paper with one restaurant and a supposed FREE review and an inclusion of a Half page ad. for another restaurant.

The half page Ad. was not Free but a PAID Ad.

I sort of got in the middle of it all.

That is all I can say here on the matter..

[Jah Lush]

Let me get this right. You've been paid to give a good review to a rival curry house in a local paper and Jaflong got the hump about it?

[Passiflora]

Was at Jaflong on Sunday (second visit). One of the waiters told us they were relocating to row of shops opposite the Tesco because it had a bigger space.

Absolutely not. I did not give a review to anyone about any restaurant.

Someone supposedly from a local paper visited Jaflong (2-3 years ago)took photos and offerd a free Ad.

The Ad did not appear .. but a Half page Ad for an other restaurant did. That was a PAID Ad.

That's all..

[Jah Lush]

Err... I'm not sure I'm getting this. God, this is boring I know. You featured in a photo of the paid ad, which was the rival curry house to Jaflong and they got a bit tetchy about it?

[snowy]

Perhaps Fox should have conducted a risk assessment?

[Horsebox]

All makes sense now. The reason The Dulwich Fox is so quick to write off restaurants in the area is because he's On the payroll of an as yet unnamed Indian restaurant. Right?

[edcam]

Cos what East Dulwich really needs is another curry house.

It's a relocation. Though one will be gone from the Lane. Hopefully, it'll be replaced by something else.

[Abe_froeman]

Fingers crossed it will be replaced by Iceland or a tandoori.

[Louisa]

Or maybe it will be replaced by Wahaca. Huh hmm.

Are you drunk.. I had absolutely nothing to do with any Ad.

I did not speak to any one. I did not take.. supply .. feature in any picture..

I did not speak to any paper .. reporter..

I eat in most of the Indian restaurants with the Curry Club and independantly.

all this started because SUE wrote.

Which is Total B*****ks..

As far as I can make out 2-3 years on, Jaflong were scammed by a fake reporter..

and I know no details. Perhap they paid for what they thought was a 'Genuin'Ad that did not appear.

Then the other Ad appeared so Jaflong were angry they had been duped.

Hope that helps.

Living up this end of ED, having a curry house very locally is welcome.

If Jaflong continues to allow BYOB then that should benefit the liquor sales in the Londis and Hop Burns & Black either side.

Perhaps also the Fire Ices ice-cream shop if people dont fancy a sorbet in a coconut shell.

Good to see some changes on the Lane with the Jaflong site becoming available and the corner site opposite yet to open.

[DulwichFox]

There will still be BYOB.. but probably no Sunday Buffet. ???

It's a big space and the back section may be for private functions.

I think they plan to have some LIVE music and music is booked for the opening night.

Never been a huge fan of Jaflong, but the ability to drink fancy beer with my dinner does sound tempting.

Fabulous Ice Fires is excellent, really love their ice cream, but I don't think it's open in the evening. Would be nice to see some of our local Indian restaurants do a proper dessert, rather than just the usual rubbish.

Is today wind up foxy day or something? Second thread I've seen some group fox hunting going down.

It was a restaurant across the road from Jafflong, if that helps.

ETA: Or very close to Jafflong, anyway, because they could see it from their place :)

ETA: Or perhaps I have totally dreamed the conversation? Don't think so, though, to the best of my knowledge I have never dreamed about you, Fox. Yet :))
