Fair play mate, we can give you a special dispensation under those circumstances.PopIcon said:
I'm trying to impress a bird and she lives in Beckenham. I was thinking if it was closer to her house, there's more chance she'll, actually don't worry.Ormiston_Addick said:Beckenham is the most Palace suburb in SE London, wouldn't feel right eating there!1 -
Yep , 25 years or so ago played for Beckenham Royals with couple of work associates, both palace as were a number of other playersOrmiston_Addick said:Beckenham is the most Palace suburb in SE London, wouldn't feel right eating there!0 -

Hisar Meze bar is great. Cozy atmosphere, too0

What was the name of that little Spanish place that used to be just off the high St by the Church? Used to like it in there.0

That's annoying me, I celebrated my fiftieth in there, mind you it was 15 years ago.
It became Chom Chom and lately Chokha, hope that jogs someones memory.0 -
Thanks for all your advice. I'll give a Friday afternoon update after the date.0

Lived in Beckenham for 10 years, now in West Wickham.
I'd have to disagree about Pierluigis.
I'd say it's amongst the most overrated restaurants I've been to.
Ordinary food at extraordinary prices.
Nice staff and decor though, which might make you feel like you're actually in a decent restaurant.

I have to avoid anything with onions.
They do horrendous things to my innards.
I went on a date a few weeks back and ended up back at her house.
I held it in all evening, nipped to the lav when she was asleep and basically exploded. I'm not exaggerating, it was like Krakatoa. I woke the whole house up, probably the neighbours too.7 -

Ardec in the middle of the high street. Used to be the gentleman's clothes shop but was recently bought and turned into a Lebanese restaurant using all the old fixtures and fittings. Has been getting excellent reviews since it opened.

Unbelievable comment…..Piereluigis is probably one of the biggest attended restaurants outside of The West End…..has some astonishing figures for the number of meals they serve up every day of the week, which I once saw in writing somewhere a while back.mid_life_crisis said:Lived in Beckenham for 10 years, now in West Wickham.

Weekly, It goes into the thousands!
They also serve up an extensive lunch menu which sees the restaurant normally packed.
You should make a point of booking as you are likely to have to wait for a table to become available.
You say it’s expensive…..really! Ok, it isn’t cheap but certainly not OTT.
You can watch the cooks at work, they go spectacularly flat out and many of them have been there for yonks.
So, thousands of customers a week would suggest you are way off beam with your most surprising and unfounded comments!It’s the most popular restaurant in the Borough, not just in Beckenham.One of my favourite restaurants, which I often confidently recommend to people.😕0 -
18th out of 88 on Trip Advisor so not the most popular in Beckenham let alone the Borough. Not my favourite but obviously yours. We are all entitled to our opinions and i happen to agree with mid-life-crisis in this case.SoundAsa£ said:

Mrs Jonniesta and I had our first date in Dizzy's Diner 23 years ago and it's still going strong. They must be doing something right... though from memory it was the cocktails rather than the food...0

I ask you to tell me one ANYWHERE in the Borough and as for Beckenham come on then….tell me a restaurant that comes even close.
The official figures, which I distinctly remember reading a few years back, showed a very different system of bonafide accounting and accountability than Tripadvisor!
I am not talking about McDonalds or Burger King etc…..I’m talking about established independent restaurants.0 -

Hate to break it to you, but they closed down last year during covid and never reopened.

Only an opinion pal.
I think the place is vastly overrated.
If others disagree, fine.1 -

Diwana is a decent curry house. Friendly if slightly chaotic service, but the food is always good.

Nice food and a well run place.

Why the anger? Bodies through the door doesn't make it the best restaurant, in my opinion. It's overpriced compared to any other in the Borough, in my opinion. If you like it, fine.. i don't think it's worth the money . Am i not allowed an opinion?. Trip Advisor is not perfect but represents peoples views. . Now go to bed and enjoy the result tonight, something that we can both agree on. Probably!SoundAsa£ said:

From time to time I do get a bit carried away with my loyalty for certain issues and can over do it.

Tbh I dont really do restaurants much , it might be me being miserable and tight but paying £8 a pint in most restaurants doesn't do it for me.
Looking at some of the menus of the restaurants that have been mentioned you need to take out a 2nd mortgage to spend a night in some of them.
Dont really do Indian but get our Chinese from H2O1 -
I keep reading the title of this thread as "Eating out Beckham". Slim pickings from Victoria I'd have thought...

Thought I'd give this a bump. We went to the opening night of Paloma in Beckenham on Thursday. Latin-American style. Buzzing atmosphere, really nice food.
Reasonably priced - £135 (inc service charge) for a cocktail, 2 pints, 2 starters and a main of rib-eye steak with potato bravas and two sides of broccoli and spinach.
Worth a visit if you want to try something different. They told us they were running a reduced menu for the first couple of weeks while they get the kitchen up to speed but they were pretty good.1
