malumbu Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 All looks very nice. What is your cuisine? Anglo Bangladeshi? Or a little different. Happy to share my extensive Indian Subcontinent culinary advice! 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/328461-kokum-indian-restaurant-bar/#findComment-1627980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Do you have a menu you can share on here? It will be great to have something a bit different which is nearer than Ganapati!

malumbu Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) You've broken the one exclamation mark limit !!!!!!! I'll look forward to seeing what this authentic Indian food is. Hopefully not chicken tikka masala (Scottish) or balti (Birmingham). Nearest I have seen is the India Club in the Strand, which in days gone by was close to the Indian High Commission.

dancet Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Highly recommended! We went on Friday night to their soft opening, it was amazing every dish was delicious and we can't wait to return to try some other ones. Friendly knowledgeable staff, excellent cocktails, and great service such a treat! 3 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/328461-kokum-indian-restaurant-bar/#findComment-1631782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonFermentation Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Anyone else eaten here since it opened? The menu looks really great. I am looking for somewhere for my birthday meal but as someone of Sri Lankan origin I am quite fussy about where I eat curry (when I'm not making it at home!)

I am looking for somewhere for my birthday meal but as someone of Sri Lankan origin I am quite fussy about where I eat curry (when I'm not making it at home!) I'm planning to try the South Indian and Sri Lankan places near St George's hospital in Tootling. West Croydon is also a good place. I expect that these places are more down to earth than Kokum - that's not a criticism but a fact. Barbur sets the standard for high end in this area, although now very much fusion. I've only once eaten at the Cinemmon club, fortunately I was being treated £££££. Happy to try your home cooked food, I shared some of my Indian recipes on EDF during lock down. As with the majority of Indians I do not eat meat. The veggy restaurant that the Cheeseblock people ran was great but closed years ago. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/328461-kokum-indian-restaurant-bar/#findComment-1632215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB89 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Ate at KOKUM this evening. Small plates were a highlight. Service very friendly and attentive. Would recommend! 3 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/328461-kokum-indian-restaurant-bar/#findComment-1632258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed_pete Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Ate there on Saturday evening. Really lovely meal and definitely a million miles from your typical Indian restaurant. FOH staff talked us through the menu which was really helpful. Even the chef came out and had quick chat late-on. A welcome addition to the neighbourhood. 2 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/328461-kokum-indian-restaurant-bar/#findComment-1632571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
