There are 8 'Curry Houses' on Lordship Lane / Grove Vale.

They are hardly 'identikit' tandooris. They are very different as curry lovers like the regulars

of the Curry Club would tell you. They all have their own favourite curry places that others are

not so keen on.


This will be the 4th ? rebirth of an Asian food outlet after previously being a Fish & Chip shop.

Eastern Eye, Cinnamon Club, Veer Zara being previous Asian restaurants.


No doubt Curry Club (including myself) will be among the first to try out this new place when it opens..

The Menu today in Indian restaurants is far more extensive than it was in 1985..


Fish & Chip shops are offering the same menu straight out of 1860...

Strange that Veer Zara and the one next door to it are almost always empty then.


Yes, they are pretty much all out of 1985 and Ive not been in one ED "curry house" that I didn't find disappointing. Fortunately, Ganapati is just down the road and I live in hope that VZ might relaunch along those lines.

The Curry Club has been going for 8 years and we go to a different L.L. Indian restaurant every month.

We have been to all of the Curry restaurants many many times.

Usually 6 - 12 of us. We are seldom disappointed.


We have been to Ganapati once maybe twice.. ?

There were 8 ish of us and certainly several of us were disappointed.

I'm a small eater but with a starter, popadoms main, rice, bread, and a dessert I wasn't full.


What ever the restaurant is called, supposedly it is to have a B.B.Q pit and serve cocktails.

So Indian food with a Turkish twist.. ?? Sound good to me.

I have no problem with the kind of generic anglicised Indian food these restaurant along LL serve. In fact I often like it a lot. Just don't think we need so many, doing very similar food.


Ganapati - I remember going to the restaurant five or six years ago and feeling it was really mediocre. Tough meat, lacking flavour, and not worth the money. But since the takeaway opened we've been using it regularly and we've always loved it (and we're definitely not small eaters!). The menu does vary, maybe they don't always get it right?


Dishoom is fun, but I'd be happy with proper, simple home-cooked-style regional Indian or Bangladeshi food. If it was done well it would leave the other LL curry houses for dust.

I thought it was a point worth making - I assumed they probably did charge for corkage.

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      By jazzer · Posted

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
