Elephant.

Try "Nice and Spicy" on Brixton Station Road. Great food and probably half the price. And there naan breads are cooked to order.

[quimcunx]

Worth the journey.

I agree dosa chutney is good but I prefer Saravanna Bhavan over the road, it's about £6 a £7 for one of these, I don't usually take photos of food but couldn't resist.

That's a great price

Hot stuff in Wilcox rd Vauxhall used to be good but not sure if its still there?

The food is excellent (Tamil) I couldn't eat it all but really wanted to.

There's never anyone in Bombay Inn on Brixton Hill, I was wondering how they kept going, but then decided it's probably just a base for loads of deliveries.

I think Curry Paradise on the end of Josephine Avenue claims most curry-related trade on the Hill.

Yeah, but it's got the White Horse opposite.

Hakim in Bombay Inn used to run Curry Paradise

I was talking to a Corpus Christi mum today who was laughing because they had Chuka Umunna in there last week..... covering all the bases - a very Catholic virtue..

incredibly, their headmaster is a labour councillor. how conflicted is that!

 

[Onket]

Yes, but it's a handy word for when you're not sure if a place classes itself as a cafe, bar, burger joint, bar/grill, restaurant, or erm... eatery

Wonder if snackeries exist?

If you ever hear or see me using the phrase 'burger joint' please let me know. I will then do the only honourable thing, and do myself in.

You obviously have a quaintly naive and archaic understanding of the Labour Party.

 

[Onket]

After work / on nights out?

No, dinner. After the morning, before the afternoon.

 

[RubyToogood]

Its well expensive for food which claims to be from the street but sold at restaurant prices. Try eating there in the winter with your food served on tin plate whilst trying to wrap a small blanket around yourself just to try and keep warm. Value for money- no way. Better off taking a trip down to Totting for some great cheap food and fresh naan.

I must say, when I was eating there a few weeks ago (as previously mentioned), it was already bloody cold, and we did wonder how said eateries were going to fare over the winter. It's not exactly luxurious dining. Although my companion suggested that young people don't notice.

@Ash, @Truxta Hip and Spice in Balham do Sri Lankan (its an Indian but the guy who owns it is a Sri Lankan) and they deliver to Brixton.

..and Catholics.

Has it reopened yet following that fire?

we get their food... it is lovely - really yummy. They deliver to us now we're at the top of Tulse Hill - but never did when we were at the bottom - but it may be that they didn't deliver to our estate - not everyone would.

 

[Onket]

Edgy.

I had that problem when I lived on St Agnes Place.

St Agnes Place is probably just a bit far from Balham...

Afterwards you could have a chat with some friends in a drinkery.

Have you tried Saffron? Nepalese. v yummy

Yes it is, in fact it has expanded despite which it's still a good idea to book ahead, speaking of Hot Stuff the Bad Boy naan must be worthy of special mention coming in at something approaching a yard in length.

 

[OpalFruit]

Where do you recommend going?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2012/jul/27/london-top-five-curry-houses
Lahore Karahi, Tooting , or Lahore Kebab House, Streatham end of Norbury. Good food, uncompromising (to hipster clientele) atmosphere!

We went to Lahore Kebab House with @crispy and @agent sparrow earlier this year. Bit of a mission from Brixton but very tasty!

The Albert has started selling this stuff. I'm not sure if it's for me, but I like the animation, even if the message is all tosh.
