Although the Wahaca restaurant in Atlantic Road may not have lasted very long, its owners haven’t given up on Brixton, and have now reinvented the space as their third branch of DF Tacos, a m…

It was the demise of Saffron that drove us to Dial a Curry!

I'd never even considered Dial-A-Curry because of the name, but now I'm tempted!

 

[han]

Curry paradise is excellent imo.
Friendly/attentive/ community spirited not to mention very decent food at a good price.
Always go in after a gig at Windmill.

Yes. During the first lockdown, they were giving free meals away to homeless people and other people in need - they are top geezers in there!

Do it!

Where is “Brixton Market”?

Yeah sorry a little broad in my description, Brixton Village Market, the furthest East of the indoor markets (has Kaosarn at the entrance off Coldharbour Lane)

I might try it tonight, just so i can put my lingering doubts to bed. And to be fed, of course.

Do report back. The ranking of the suppliers of hot Indian food to the Brixton area has been the most gripping debate on these boards in a while.

Might I recommend Chicken Tikka Naga Sag with a side of Chana Bahji, pilau and a paratha. OH swears by the Naga Cod Bhuna.

The DC Potato is a tasty side if you can handle a third kind of carb. Go easy on the paneer masala. It's basically a dessert.

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

Damn, went ahead and ordered before checking the recommendations. Tandoori mixed biryani on the way. I shall report back once consumed, wouldn't want to leave folk on tenterhooks

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

well, not bad to be fair, punches above its weight! I can see it would be a bargain if you were ordering for 2 or more folks.

Consider this curry snob to have been schooled.

Glad you enjoyed it. Certainly good value - looking back through my orders, we normally come in about £23 for a family of 4 - which gives us enough for a feeling just on the cusp of ‘uncomfortably full’.

Can you try out Curry Paradise tonight please, I want further confirmation of its improvements before I try.

See what happens when a proper company invests in one its properties? Rather than those fucking cowboys from Antic

I notice that Brixton Jamm Brixton Courtyard are advertising an opening event playing 'ABBA classics'

I really hope the success of their drinks and food in the front bit during covid restrictions doesnt mean they permanently shift their underground music outlook to cheese and bottomless brunch events.

HI everyone! Hope it's OK to post here - my lovely friend Jojo from Cook to Care is doing a crowdfunder to celebrate a whole year of providing free meals to those in need locally (she's based in Loughborough Junction) and to help continue the work. You can just donate or get entered into a draw for some prizes. Some of you know she also does a yummy 'buy one buy another for a person in need' meal delivery on a Tuesday through Sureh Cook to Care.

Cook to Care

Cook to Care aims to serve free nutritious meals to those in need and inspire a hunger for a better future in youths and prison leavers.

Good to get another sushi option in Brixton. Prices are pretty par for this sort of thing - a little higher than Ichiban, eyeballing the menu. The branding is rather tedious though - we all know what fusion food is by now, you don't have to try and tell us it's a revolution..

The fusion of Japanese, Chinese and er.....Soviet-era Russian imagery is somewhat confusing.

[Shippou-Sensei]

Well that just proves they are anti-establishment.

Though with the name I thought it might be Kaitenzushi

People are still easily beguiled by silly, exaggerated words and descriptions. Particularly if its on a smartphone app promising to deliver the product to your door with just a few taps.

I got the the pork chilli and the steak and chorizo tacos from there the other day, was very impressed. And I couldn't resist the frozen marguerita, as this is something I definitely can't make at home
