Life in Dulwich

Tried out a new Indian delivery place this week. They dropped their menu through the door and it was soooooo pretty. The graphics were lovely, the dishes sounded exciting using nice things like green mango, fresh curry leaves etc. Ahh, they promised so much.

And delivered so little.

Firstly, it took one hour and twenty minutes for the order to arrive, and I had to call them three times to find out where our food was. We had both been late back after a long day at work and ended up waiting till 23:15 for our food to arrive. Then, it was horribly cooked.

The lamb chops were tough, overcooked, bland and unattractive in everyway. The coconut rice was rice with dessicated coconut sprinkled over it. The dahl was bland. The korma was a funny colour. The prawns with green mango were actually prawns with overripe regular mango.

The only pleasant thing was the aubergine, but it wasn't cooked in the manner advertised, and the okra was okay. The popadums were also okay. Naan and chapati also passed muster. Gulab jamun neither here nor there.

Anyway, we're never ordering from there again. That's the New Dewaniam in Camberwell, by the way.
