Feedback- In my opinion the decor is good, better than before, especially the floor. The staff were friendly and smiley (was Happyman there?):) and the food was good and well co-ordinated despite us being a very large group. The company was priceless. Good to see the administrators during the evening aswell.

Feedback - A nice bright eating area (wasnt sure about the holographic images in the walls, they seemed to just mess with my eyes!) Food was good. I had the Korola Chicken and really was not as spicy as indicated on the menu. For a two chilli rating, I would expect something that was 'Hot' and this certainly wasn't. Service was good considering we were a large group (14 of us) however, we did need to wave at them for about 5 minutes before someone realised we wanted to pay the bill!

Potential here to be a very good curry house. They are new and unsure if there are new chefs in the kitchen, but a promising start.

(Nice idea Karter, good way to present feedback!)

Curry nights, great.


Things I have learnt:


- on the scale of Bad Things That Can Happen To You, a paper cut is worse than attempting to cross LL. (I'm not convinced).

- Dulwich Village is nearby and there aren't any curry places there.

- forum members wear red in a variety of ways.

- Veer Zara need to up the chilli content on their dishes with the chilli symbol. The lovely, smiley staff are (tu)

Things I have learnt:


1. Girls look good in red.

2. Baileys Gin and Kingfisher Beer are not a good mix.

3. Karter is an international man of mystery.

4. Hibbs can look glamorous even with a horrible cold.

5. Katie1997 has lived in a zillion different places but still can't find Dulwich Village.

6. Giggirl likes my new leopard ski shoes. Swoon.

7. Sean McG looks a teeny tiny bit like Tintin. I say that with affection though. I like Tintin.


Oh and the Curry was good.

A paper cut is the worst thing ever - it is a well known fact.


A rescued Chilean Miner was asked if the entombment was his worst experience ever? "Aye Chichuahua", said he, "It was bad, but I had a paper cut from a curry restaurant flier that was pushed through our door last year. That was bloody awful. Madre de Dios".


It was a great evening, 14 curry eating souls and Veer Zara did us proud. My Lamb Tikka was good, Hibbs' lamb dish was also very good :))


The red paint is still a little sudden to my eye, but each to their own.


Where and when next?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
