Only been once and recall thinking the menu wasn’t the biggest but the food was excellent.DaveMehmet said:The food in The Village Eat Inn on the high st is fantastic. It’s not the plushest restaurant though, more like a cafe with o levels.0 -
The Moghul in Sidcup is superb, can't recommend highly enough

Couple of beers in the halfway house and into Maharani is my go to. Cafe Eltham on Well Hall road is no frills but the food is decent2
-
The food at Shampan was good but overpriced IMO. We usually go to the Falcon Tandoori, which is about 50 yards along from Shampan, on the same road. Food is basically the same but the prices are more reasonable.AFKABartram said:Not been myself but Shampan at Falconwood is close to you and has a very good name1 -
It’s a superb restaurant, best Indian in the areaAFKABartram said:Not been myself but Shampan at Falconwood is close to you and has a very good name1 -
Make the trip to Blackheath and the Everest Inn....always go there when I am home and never disappointed2

Another vote for the Star of India. Our go-to Indian1
-
So we opted for the Star this time round, as its close, and we will have a quick turnaround after getting back from the match; and maybe we can pop into the Long Pond after. But for sure my sister will explore some of the others.Also my nephew apparently raves about a place in Belvedere which has a BYO booze policy. That really appeals to me because all the usual Indians usually offer rubbish lager - and I consider Kingfisher and Cobra to be rubbish. Can’t understand why they never offer a decent IPA - I mean, the clue is in the full name, right? I’ve never had the chance to try but I believe thats what you’d be offered in the real Indians in the West Midlands2

i don't know - I only ever want a Cobra with my Indian and i'm a big IPA drinker1

Not exactly what you're looking for, but this place in Kandy, Sri Lanka might be an acceptable alternative?SoundAsa£ said:I'm currently looking for recommendations for Eltham restaurants in India.

Belvedere tandoori. Ok with an international supermarket nearby for your.drink purchases. Personally tables are too close together and gives me a cramped, intrusive feeling.PragueAddick said:So we opted for the Star this time round, as its close, and we will have a quick turnaround after getting back from the match; and maybe we can pop into the Long Pond after.

We need to start a CL Curry Club5

Our local is Kesar on Woolwich Road, been 5 or 6 times and never had a bad meal. All the curries look and taste completely different, and the spice levels are pretty high but bearable0

All down the local Spoons for curry night?AFKABartram said:We need to start a CL Curry Club1 -
Well as far as I know the rise of Indian restaurants across the country was driven by Bangladeshis, and generally many dishes are Anglicised and not what you‘d find in India - Chicken Madras being the most notorious example. Not that it makes it bad food per se, if it tastes good, we eat it and we love it. Re the beer, the story I read— a while back —is that while a cold lager seems natural to quench the fire, an IPA served at just below room temp doesnt fight the food so much. When I tried it, it worked for me.SporadicAddick said:

But Kingfisher and Cobra are from India, so maybe I shouldnt slag them off. Last time we went to the Star I think they had London Pride in bottles.Mind you we had Indian friends here in Prague and they threw a dinner party where most of the guests were Indian and the men all drank whisky. A lot of it. Before the meal. i was assured this is standard in middle-class Indian circles.0 -
There use to be a curry house in crayford just up the road from the bear, didn’t look the best but the food was spot on.Nowadays, take away Mahan in Joydens wood or Maharaja in bexley village - the latter has vastly improved and really tasty now1

British Raj is at the top of the hill towards the one bell.

Don't you mean chicken tikka masala? and isn't Cobra an English brewed beer?PragueAddick said:

That one too, but chicken madras gave many Indians the hump because in Madras (now Chennai) chicken. isnt part of their cuisine. I think you are right about Cobra too, just wasn‘t sure. But I don‘t want to annoy people on a thread about Indian food I started. I guess British Indian food has become a cuisine in its own right. I vaguely remember that when the Balti craze took off, one of the West Mid breweries brewed a beer specially to match it, and it was an IPA. But when I tried to track it down( without success) I was reminded that Birmingham claims Balti was invented there.Rob7Lee said:

Another vote for Shaon in Chislehurst. Always good service, but you need to book at weekends as it gets very busy. We go out of our way to go there when we are in the UK.0

If anyone is looking for a cheap alternative, Asda have their own Indian food brand called Bom Bahia and it’s banging. Their black dal is incredible.2

Many moons ago Asda's chilled curry supplier used to deliver daily from a factory in Bradford. Their hottest curry was a Vindaloo. On the cardboard box it was labelled as Chicken-find-a-loo

Weren't it Asda that used to use local curry houses to make their "takeaway" curries, they sold from their deli counters a few years back?0
