Just gone passed Love Dulwich cafe on the bus and there’s a sign outside stating “new Turkish restaurant opening soon” 

I spoke to the owner today and unfortunately due to the cost of living and the extremely high rent & rates on the lane (his are almost £100k) the cafe model isn’t working. Rather than give up and close down, he’s done quite a bit of research and is indeed going to reopen / rebrand as a Turkish restaurant from 14th March. 

He will be open lunch times (with lunch specials) and evenings with a selected Turkish grill & meze menu (plus veggie & vegan dishes). 

He’s a lovely chap and has a few businesses including a Turkish bakery in Penge so knows his stuff. 

Personally I’m sad that he’s closing as a cafe but extremely happy and excited he’s reopening as a Turkish restaurant.

Hope not - personally think they are one of the best cafe around.

Maybe it is going to be a combination of cafe in day and Turkish at night - now that would be good.

Since I have moved and only come up a couple of times a year, will be following.

when I was there recently, they were getting into instagram, Facebook etc so hoping that not closing.

Food freshly cooked and staff so nice - nothing too much trouble. A couple of the chains could learn from them - one in particular which shall remain nameless.

Can anyone tell me please, do they have a variety of veggie options or fish? 

thank you in advance - moved, so just wanted to check & menu is not big enough for me to enlarge or read.. think they do..

they got a whole page of veggie options on the menu. you name it they have it, not sure why you can't enlarge the pdf - i can enlarge it but can read it without enlarging it and i've got terrible eyesight! Maybe ignore the chicken and avocado at the bottom.

also salmon, sea bass, prawn etc.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
