Out of the ones up here on the peaks, Y&Y and Gurkha Cottage are the two I would go with. I don't have that many curries though

I heard that Gurkha Cottage has gone downhill since they changed owners. I haven't been there recently myself.Out of the ones up here on the peaks, Y&Y and Gurkha Cottage are the two I would go with. I don't have that many curries though

The best one in the area is Indian Dining Club on Gipsy Road. Expensive but worth it!

Urban south east London curry evening?
Ooh yes please!

Would the Indian Dining Club be too expensive for folks for this? It has a "club room" downstairs, which can be booked by parties, if there were loads of us. I really think it is worth the money. I took a friend there recently who thanked me for letting him know of the existence of such a good restaurant.

And it is opposite the Paxton which is a decent size pub which sells proper beer and decent wine, so we could decant there afterwards. http://www.thepaxtongipsyhill.com/

Looks good to me - it doesn't look unreasonably expensive to me. There are plenty of mains for £6-7, I'm not sure you'd get a huge amount cheaper than that elsewhere.
boohoo
No.
Looks fine - Lets find out what it would take to book a club room and maybe organise something for christmas or do people want something sooner?

I'd assume there'll be the usual Khan's Christmas meet so maybe two around that time might be a bit much.

No.

I think we should do it sooner, and not try and compete with the Khan's Christmas Curry.
Who will contact them to check it out?

Yeah - this is the case sadly, a shadow of its former self.
Been on about trying that for ages, heard very good things about it.

It really is my favourite Indian restaurant, and everyone I take there likes it, including vegan friends, although it is not a vegetarian restaurant.
boohoo
No.
If you have time, do you want to find out about room hire. I can start a thread (probably next week) about a curry

Sorry - I don't have time at the moment.
Am panicking about everything I have to do before I go away in a couple of days.

Can you check it out, and post on here so we can get going with a date thread?

Do you mean about room hire? I can give em a call later. How many do you normally get? 10?
When we went there we got the room at the bottom for my mate's birthday and there was probably about that number.
Guineveretoo

There's usually between 10 and 20, but I suspect a few more will come if it's a curry. Ask how many people the "club room" can take, just in case.
Also ask if there are dates already booked, and even ask if we can provisionally book a few dates while we confirm which one we want.
Also ask if they need us to pre-order if we do get 20+ people.
boohoo
No.

Thanks. There is another thread about some of it, in factGood luck with all you need to get done.
Got a curry from the Indian Dining Club on Sunday - have to say it wasn't a great experience. Starters tasted really nice and you could tell they were a mark above the usual standard. But mains were disappointing, really disappointing. TBH it tasted like something we might of made at home, good quality meat but the curry / flavours were far too simple and boring. Gutted. You pay a lot for it too!

What a shame! Tell them your disappointment? Is it worth trying again?

I'm tempted to try again as so many people recommended it, perhaps I chose the two dishes that are a bit meh (Papri Ma Ghosh and Dansak Chicken).
