New(ish) east Asian restaurant

[BillyChristmas]

There is, what I think a new, east Asian restaurant on Lordship Lane near the Post Office. Its all painted black outside, and they look like they do cocktails. The internet can't seem to tell me the name of it. Can anyone help me out?!

Was horrified to hear that one of the partners or GM had left. Every single time I went there, whether with my husband or girls, Peter made us feel welcome, and special. One of my girlfriends had boycotted due to other owners being absolutely inappropriate and offering her 'substances' and Peter had fought hard to bring the whole St. Anthony's crowd to Yama, and was becoming a little ED legend. We are gutted! One thing for sure, if he is gone, that place won't be around long!!!!!!!!

St. Anthony's crowd?

FYI Janestanthonys is a first-time poster who signed up today.

[Janestanthonys]

I did sign up and am a first time poster. Anything wrong with that? Is that against the law. I thought the whole point of the forum was to voice opinion and keep our community tight knit! And yes, am still horrified. As a mother of primary school aged children (two of them) and yes, after avoiding the place because of the school gossip I was very impressed with how hard Peter worked to win back people like myself after what we'd seen and heard. Like I said, word in ED travels fast and if the current owners decide to act up again, they won't be on lordship lane long.

[BrandNewGuy]

I didn't say it was against the law. It's just that years of experience make readers of the forum wary of someone who signs up to make vague but apparently serious allegations against a local business.

[Janestanthonys]

I understand. Your right. I felt the need to sign up as very upset as was my best friend who was approached by owner guy obviously completely drugged up and we had completely boycotted place. Then met Peter, saw his work with Save the Children, parent and teachers associations, local churches, etc, etc.

I wish them all the best but place has changed is the gossip. We are going twice this week, Thursday and Saturday, so will report back with facts and objectivity!

On the other hand, what is the best Indian on Lordship Lane?

[NewWave]

Are you not perhaps talking about the previous incarnation of this place which I think was a bar that was from what I gather a bit sketchy.

I do not believe that the owner of a reputable resturant buisiness would go around offering drugs.

[Jah Lush]

He offers drugs? Oh, wow! I'm so there.

Well, that all makes perfect sense...

[Janestanthonys]

Bottom line. Willing to give new business a chance after out of place adventure bar. Started well even though they couldn't even get the spelling on a Japanese menu right and sometimes courses took hours to come out amongst other things and being told on numerous occasions that they were fully booked when they weren't! Owner with the big hair, spoilt brat mummy's boy crossed line on many occasions. So we gave it a miss. Then new guy came in. Really got hold of community and made it our favourite place. Now he's gone. So are we! I bet they aren't here more than a year! We won't have that here in ED! And my friends hubby is going down to see them!!!!!!! Hope that makes sense!!!!!!!

[edcam]

What the f***k are you going on about?

[Janestanthonys]

What on earth is the matter with your manners?

Jane's addiction?

[KidKruger]

St Anthonys' reputation trashed by a single poster - magic.

With a 'spokesperson' like this, they'll not need enemies.

[libbyer]

Wowzers,I can't take the heat - I'm leaving this kitchen ;)

[Jeremy]

Well, at least someone was able to decypher parts of it.

Great to hear that we will get some "facts and objectivity" as opposed to the "school gossip" you seem otherwise very keen to impart to the world at large, including what sound like pretty serious allegations which appear designed to adversely affect on this particular business. As for "We won't have that here in ED!", I wasn't aware that anyone had been appointed as the spokesperson for the entire community.

I agree with others that these come across as really odd for someone's first posts, as if there is a personal axe being ground here.

[Janestanthonys]

Er..... There is a personal axe. I don't want scummy owners of businesses where I live, and they don't, offering my girlfriends drugs thank you very much. Can I make myself any clearer???

[Janestanthonys]

No offence but I am slinging mud and as a st ants mum yourself you want to take a look at yourself if your supporting these types of places.

[Mustard]

Shouldn't this be a police matter if you are making such allegations?

[Janestanthonys]

Your right! It is!

[libbyer]

Jane, I didn't say I was supporting the place. I thought I'd made myself clear. My connection to the restaurant has actually left and is no longer a part of the business. What I was implying was : I don't think your social life has anything to do with the school your children attend.I don't think there is any need to get personal by telling me to "look at myself" or by bringing the school and it's name (which has nothing to do with your actual incident) into it.

[RosieH]

Jane, if you're going to complain about people not being able to spell, could you please learn the difference between 'your' and 'you're'?

Otherwise, as you were...
