They seem to change chefs: one is very good, the other not so.

Seconded. It's our weekly take-away of choice. But it's not in Peckham, it's opposite the Clock House at the bottom of Barry Road.


Babur take-away is also great, especially the meat thali, which is a bit of a bargain for all the tasty chicken ticka, tandoori lamb, and even a prawn dish you get for the ?12.


And Omrith makes similarly delicious food.

Ganapati is rubbish. I had an awful meal in there. Bland food, weird student-like ambience.... Certainly would never go back and not sure why people rave about it. Omrith at the top of Forest Hill Road should be checked out. The service can be random but the food is generally excellent, different to your usual but worth it.

Yes, sadly, most of the curry houses on LL are pretty standard (as in your trad 'Anglo' curry). Dulwich Tandoori about six years ago was very good, but whoever the chef was, at that time, upped sticks and it hasn't been the same since. (my mate and i still get glassy eyed when recalling his Chicken Tikka Balti..) If you want something a bit different, then yes, Ganapati is the way to go. I'm currently working in Leicester till the end of May.. Oh sweet, Brahma! The scales have fallen from my eyes. The curries i'm trying there are out of this world! A great selection of Southern Indian (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu) and Gujarati restaurants (mainly from the West and primarily vegetarian). Even the 'standard' curry houses are pretty special. Spoilt for life.. I think the only time i'll be going back to any of the curry houses on LL is after a few pints.

You dismiss it as rubbish on the basis of one "bland" meal you didn't like?


What was it?

Most of these places are inconsistent - that's the problem. I've been to Ganapati twice, the first time was really good, but the second time we were both served tough meat in bland sauces. Similarly, the food was delicious on our first trip to Omrith, but the next time it was laughably bad and the place was filthy. Tandoori Nights is generally good, but we've had one or two bad dishes there too.

I'd say Tandoori Nights consistently has the highest standards, albeit they may have the odd wobble. I'd agree about Ganapati; I've had 2 excellent meals there and one very average one, along with some dodgy service.


My major bete noir is spinach paneer which is too creamy, which I think is vile and wrong. I think it's only the Surma which does a non-creamy one, although I can't be sure. You're right, joealessi, most places around ED are pretty similar really. Few places really stand out.

I would have always said ganapati, until Indian mischief.... Wow! Not the cheepest, but the freshest and most dynamically tasting curry around! I would also like to add that cooper of the "dogfather", on north cross road, does the best hangover cure EVER, with the "Slumdog".

Maybe over-crowded because people like it and want to go there?


It's a very small place, so I'm not sure how else it could be "set up"?


I tried to arrange a family meal there, they wouldn't take a booking for an evening meal because they said it wouldn't be fair on other people to have a big party (as in numbers of people). I thought that was quite refreshing. Some places would just have taken the money.


Each to their own, I guess. I think it's cosy and friendly and I like the food.

      Council "weed" removal

      Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.

      No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
