Sorry to gatecrash your thread, but I just did a search on Tandoori Nights as I had a pretty poor meal there last night, and I was interested to see the comments above.


We hadn't been there for years, but we were starving. We had thought Dulwich Tandoori might have a Sunday buffet on as it was a bank holiday, but they didn't and appeared to be rammed, so we went to Tandoori Nights instead.


My meal was terrible. It was supposed to be lamb with spinach and green chillies. There was not a single chilli in it, and no heat in the dish at all. Nor did it appear to be spiced with anything else, as it was all completely bland. The spinach looked and tasted as if it had come out of a tin. The best I can say is that at least the meat was tender.


The pilau rice appeared to be spiced solely with cloves.


For the lamb and the rice I paid twelve pounds :(


The Cobra was six pounds (large bottle). Can't remember how much it usually is, but that seemed a lot.


When I put these points to them at the end of the meal (nobody came during the meal to ask how it was, although there was only one other group of customers in the restaurant) they really didn't have any reply.


How can you advertise a dish with chillies and then leave out the chillies? Bizarre.


ETA: I shan't eat there again. Shame. Once upon a time, the food was very good there.

    • I agree about its being an off-licence -- no licensee's name above the front door, and confirmed as a long-standing one by  https://londonwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/Camberwell/LordshipLane157.shtml. Attached is a Style& Wing ad from the Kentish Express of 1 May 1942, found in britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk.  
    • Just a small point to add that you do indeed over time block it out.  I know this as I lived in ED from 2004-2022 and apart from the occasional 4.30am annoyance (they didn't always wake me, but if they did I popped earplugs in if I didn't have them in already) they start to blend into the general noise of ED. We've moved away now and when I visited last month I was amazed at how loud and frequent they seemed, I was constantly looking up and surprised.  So the contrast was the surprise as clearly I lived with it fine for 18 years and it didn't register - just returning did it seem louder.  At current house we had a really noisy manhole cover that made a huge "derdunk" sound whenever a car drove over - it was initially amusing, then annoying, then it really started to get to me after a few months so I understand how you can make yourself more wound up about these things.  It's finally fixed but had it not been I'd have had to live with it as we're in a rental so can't change the windows.  My daughter used to make it a game guessing if an approaching car was going to hit it or not. Some great suggestions above - hope you can work through it!
    • Today at midday PECKHAM PODCAST goes public on YouTube with its first guest, Dave Walker MBE. There are a couple of promos up there, so the channel exists. If you have a moment, do visit the channel and subscribe ... that would be much appreciated. Here is the channel link:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJF_qWDwahYgc8PvR38_l8g  In two weeks time we publish the second edition with Colombian vicar Fernando Carrillo, brand new in Peckham on the Old Kent Road. Born in a Miami prison, ordained at St Paul's Cathedral!  Truly an amazing story. (You couldn't make it up.)
    • Hi,    I lost this silver necklace, and if anyone found it, I would be so grateful to get it back 😊
