The Mirch in Tooting offers formica tables, toilet cubicles with a mop and bucket standing in the corner - and the aforementioned poor service. But who cares when the food is so good? Not me.


I hope they haven't smartened it up as you say they have at the Norbury Mirch, Dave. I shall report back tomorrow morning ha ha.

ok a rather dumb question, but can i ask what are the attributes that make people take into account when saying a curry is good or bad? clearly a curry that is not swimming in grease of gee is essential but i'm curious as to what else people are expecting..


for me personally, i'm looking for a curry that is authentic as you can get out of asia (or green street in upton park! - sorry this is east london) which isnt stale and uses fresh ingrediants....

Tandoori Nights is Pakistani and very good it is too. Bengali curry houses around the Warren St area used to be very good but have now joined the ranks of anglosized curry shops. I'm a big fan of South Indian curry which seems to be getting more popular and can recommend the radna krishna in Tooting. I don't think the BBC will particularly enhance the ED curry experience and would definitely like to see something less mainstream. Shame Jerk rock is closed. Wish there was an equivalent to Mango Rooms here.

I can indeed cook a mean curry and often do. But the joy of good In/Pak food is the same as with good Chinese food.. it's the starters, and tasting lost of different things.

It's not worth spending 15 hours in the kitchen when you can pay a tenner and get top-notch stuff put down in front of you.

Well next time you serve time in the kitchen (I remember you have too much time on your hands) I'm up for a tasting! Re the starters, I agree and also one of the joys of Lebanese food. Another good nomination (Al-Dar) for the ED area instead of the indistinguishable curry houses (TN excepted).

Best authentic curry in the local area must be Ganapati - great fish curry (although the two sittings timing is a little annoying)- so something like that on LL would be a winner


I agree with the comments about Tooting - spoilt for choice indeed, many Time Out winners and cheap to boot.


Radha Krishna across the road from Tooting Broadway tube / Sainsburys does a great Masala Dosa


I've also always liked Samrat (including the etched glass panels) - next to Tooting station for cheap curry favourites


Whenever I've had Bombay Bicycle (Wimbledon) I've been disappointed with the price / quality ratio

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
