where's good to eat out locally?

I'd give the food in Si Mangia a generous 3/10.

Palmerston and Franklins get full marks though.

Another vote for Si Mangia on Forest Hill Road. Its not flash but the food is great and the service superb. My brother and sister in law always head there first when they bring their young girls down for the weekend.


Tandoori Nights - I've never had a better curry.


The Commercial in Herne Hill opposite the train station entrance has a very good menu that beats most of the pub food in ED.


One of the great things about ED is the independents and the choices available - get out there and enjoy!

I agree with all of those who rate the various curry houses on Lordship Lane. Before moving to ED I was a bit anti-curry; too many bellyaches after eating in City / Brick dumps! But the Lordship Lane curry houses generally have:

* Excellent service.

* Nice fresh food.

* Nicely decorated and clean interiors.


Many of them seem to offer something a little different. Not sure if they still do it, but Jaflong did a minted lamb chop. Not unlike the traditional English dish, but with and Indian twist. It shouldn't work, but it does.


Why a person would spend signifcantly more at somewhere like the Palmerston or Angel's and Gypsies is beyond me. I don't mind spending a bit of food, I loved Blumentahl's restaurant Dinner, but don't get these midmarket places.

So...Lordship Lane curry house serves....minted lamb chop with an Indian twist. Is that really supposed to be innovative or am I missing something here?

Why someone would spend significantly more at Blumenthals is beyond me, the Palmerston serves lovely food and is local.

i would recommend IL MIRTO, right around the corner from ED station. it is reasonably priced italian food. and good italian food. the pizzas are great, as are the pastas, and the tiramisu is fab. it is a small place. as long as no one is obnoxiously loud eating there at the same time as you, it is a really lovely place to have a meal!
I went to Si Mangia last week, it was excellent for the price, I recommend their seafood dish cooked with brandy and squid ink pasta, the seafood was beautifully cooked and plenty of it; scallops, baby squid, mussels, really delicious. Service is very good too.
Love Jaflong, Si Mangia and the Silk road in Camberwell, must say I've been utterly underwhelmed by Ganapati though, if you want decent South Indian food it seems one still has to go to Euston, unless there are some hidden South London gems I am unaware of?!
Safa in Camberwell is pretty good, if you're looking for a standard curry. They also have a couple of items on the menu (dosas, uttapam, a couple of indian desserts) that you won't find in many indian restaurants. And it's half price if you have a "Taste Card".

Our next East Dulwich Supper Club is on Wednesday 22nd February.


Menu released on Monday which is when the booking lines will be open.


I will post again with menu

    • You can take any old clothes or any other fabric like tea towels  to Primark stores. They all have collection boxes. Any old clothes and rags that can't be reused are recycled for other uses like toy stuffing and insulation 
    • Got loads of frogspawn.  Don't have that much success as can't keep it in the pond as the newts eat it.  I took the first clump out yesterday and put it in a bucket with netting on top.  The loads more appeared.,... Last year I kept it like this and then transferred to some large plant saucers when they were near to walking onto land.  Had to top up the water, provide shade as they will have cooked in the sunshine, and fed with boiled cabbage, kale or other green stuff. I got a few froglets.  two or three years ago I picked up some spawn from someone in SE22 who had a whole nursery, numerous ponds, in their back garden. Never seen any baby newts or spawn, maybe have ten or more, but I know they go roaming.
    • Newts, ducks, from my understanding cats and dogs don't eat frogspawn, they may eat tadpoles.  Continuing this conversation on the nature thread.
    • You lose the moral high ground as soon as you call people clowns.  I don't know why so many of you have to bring the conversation down,  I've made the same point on other threads.  Have a look at what you posted - do you think insults made your view any more valid?  Sadly too many discussions descend in this way.  As said this applies to many others who post here. I can, and do, complain, about a variety of goods and services.  In the last 20 years or so try to keep it civil.  And look back on some of my past behaviours with some embarrassment.
