This is undoubtedly the case. A change in chef can change the quality completely.SE10Addick said:

Expensive but meant to be very good.The Indian shop next door is really good too if you want to make your own.I find that pretty much all Indian restaurants are inconsistent. You’ll get a good curry one week and then someone else makes it the next time and it’s terrible.
I have also found that at so many Indian restaurants you have one dish and it is unbelievable, whereas another dish is absolutely awful.0 -
You think they would use their curry flavour to curry favour.0

It was expensive but it was very good. Certainly not a standard High St Indian
Not sure I'd rush back for an ordinary meal but maybe not drink Chablis!
The spicy kir royale was something new.
Lamb Nihari was tasty and the meat fell off the bone.0 -
It's a pity they just offer takeaway, because the curry you get from The Charlton Takeaway in Wellington Gardens has always been very hard to beat. I have been eating curry regularly since the 1970's and still like to visit old places as well as try new ones. However, when I want a properly spiced curry with freshly cut spices, The Charlton Takeaway never disappoints. We had another great meal from there last night.SouthWest_Addicks said:Looking to book a curry house on a Saturday night after a Charlton home game. Any good ones still open in the local area, ideally quite close to a train or tube station. Thanks.1 -
Currently has a food hygiene rating of 1 although this was last inspected las August so may have improved nowElliotCAFC said:Curry is my favourite food by far and had somewhat led me and my mate on a spice inspired pilgrimage. We systematically tried most (very nearly all) curry houses in a 5 mile radius.This intensive research led me to the greatest curry house you’ve never heard of. If you like curry, you have the visit The Jasmine in Bexleyheath. It looks a little run down but it’s the best food I’ve ever had.0 -
When I lived in Spitalfields used to eat once a Week in the Shampan in Brick Lane until we saw it in one of the those Rogue Restaurants programmes on tv where they expose dodgy health and safety breaches.Loved that place !0

Went to the Jugaad Kitchen in Park View Rd after the Welling game yesterday. Has more of a cafe rather than restaurant feel about and not your standard Indian menu with lots of dishes I’d never heard of. Food was lovely and one of the nicest naans I’ve had for a long time.2

@SouthWest_Addicks - Royal Nepalese in Westcombe Park, right next to the station, is my local curry house (well, Coriander is closer but not as good IMO)... You won't go wrong in there at all...

Wasn’t it called the Sopna?SporadicAddick said:A few years since I lived in SE London, but loved the place in Blackheath that had Terry Waite and Mickey Skinner specials on the menu...
The joke was that the Terry Waite special was bread and water.
(For those who don’t know, he was a hostage in Beirut for quite a while)2 -
We liked it but as veggies the menu is a little limited compared with other restaurants these days. Not cheap if you have a few drinks but a nice twist on Indian food.SE10Addick said:

The 'Mickey Skinner' was a whole chicken cooked and served in a tupperware box packed with rice and veg. I used to love that on occasions.EastTerrace said:

If you live in that area then I'd recommend Masala Dabas on Orpington High St for veggie options. My cousin and his girlfriend came to mine a few months ago and she is vegan and ordered from here.charltonkeston said:

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. My wife and I, if it’s just the 2 of us fancying a curry takeaway, we normally order from the Mumbai Kitchen in Homesdale Rd.orpingtonRED said:

I actually live just off Locksbottom village, which is good for food and drink but has no Indian nowadays, a nice one packed up during lockdown and is now a nice pizza restaurant. Staggering distance for and drink is a great asset to have.0 -

There are 2 I would recommend depending on your appetite for something different. The Jasmine in Bexleyheath does some fantastic and inspired food. Fillet steak on a bed of curry, or maybe try their curryzone.
Another would be shampan, you have S2 in chatterton Road, Bromley or S3 in falconwood. Both fantastic Indian restaurants 👌3 -
