Hisar for meat is serviceable


But really, the Tarma & the Humus is pretty low grade gunk


So it's ok, but i'd not go out of my way to eat there


The Mangal place in Camberwell is better, tho a little salt heavy last time I ate there


It's hard to beat Green Lanes for good Turkish food, or up by Hackney Empire


Possibly due to more competition and comunity

Hisar is good for somewhere to go with the kids, or for a beer soaker on a night out with mates. It has its uses and the staff are very friendly. I like it.


I'm sure there is better if you want to search across London, but we are talking local comparisons to Koz and I think it was better than Koz, hence it has won out.

Nope, it turns out that the guy who managed Koz actually owned the lease hold and can make more money from renting it out to another business and moving to Beckenham.


So not a local business forced out by greedy landlords after all!!

I liked Koz when I lived in ED.


It will have strong competition in Beckenham though.


There are already great Turkish places in Hisar, Lalezar & Kemer. Koz will have the biggest size though, so may cater to larger groups. Hisar is run by the original owners of the ED branch too & is much nicer.

Foxey: the Lewisham cinema closed in 1981. The Deptford one in 1970! By "a cult thing these days" do you mean "in the last 30 years"?


In a much shorter timescale there have been new cinemas built at Surrey Quays, Greenwich, the O2 and Canary Wharf. None of them have closed down.

I didn't say it was - I said it lost out to Hisar.

There's Wuli Wuli and Silk Road in Camberwell for good sit down Chinese meals. And Mangal across the road for fantastic Turkish.

    • I’ve told the council (twice), our Dulwich Hill councillor, and Thames Water (twice).
    • How can a supermarket "run out of gas"? Was that a joke? The Metro article is referring to the central gas supply, surely? Which hasn't actually run out yet.   I said "local" press. And the reason would be that the bad publicity might push Sainsbury's head office to improve what sound like presently appalling conditions for their DKH staff to work in. Yes of course there are terrible things happening all over the world. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to change things which we might be able to have an immediate impact on locally.
    • What good would it do reporting it to the press? If one thinks it is a major issue, just for a moment, think about the hardship in cities in Ukraine where residents  are lucky to get one hour of electricity a day and where water is not being pumped to residential blocks.
