[[Kake]] et al. have been ordering from here reasonably frequently for a couple of years (as of August 2008). We like the food quite a lot, and the only reason it's not higher on our list of choices is that they use proper ghee (i.e. made from butter), and [[Juliet]] is vegan. Note though that we do usually stick to the vegetable and fish options: a Chowhound poster [https://www.chowhound.com/post/takeaway-southwark-bridge-road-429866?commentId=2861118 says] that the paneer kofte are not good at all, and that the meat dishes are perhaps less varied than they could be.

They have a good selection of interesting vegetarian options, all using different spices and herbs; it's not just X in gravy, Y in gravy, etc. One of the other things that makes them stand out is their attention to detail; their side salad isn't just plain lettuce, but lettuce, carrot, radish, etc, and has a proper dressing to finish it off.

Specific recommendations: [[Kake]] is fond of the Goan crab curry (£6.90) (though when ordered in September 2008 it had loads of little bits of shell in; not good), the baigan nariyal (a rich aubergine dish; £3.50 as side dish, £5.10 as main dish), the dal makhani (whole small lentils in a creamy sauce), and the lemon rice.

Disrecommendations: The okra dish that [[Kake]] ordered in July 2007 was rather tough and stringy; surprising given their usual quality, and it may be a one-off.

It's also worth noting that they offer tandoori lamb chops, which are not always easy to find as a takeaway delivery — [[Kake]] and [[Bob]] tried these in August 2008 and they were adequate if not brilliant; would order them again to satisfy a craving, but they were nowhere near as good as the ones we had from [[Maida, E2 6DG|Maida]] a month or so previously.

A takeaway menu dated 2006 says that you're welcome to bring your own wine and beer if eating in; also, the [[Royal Oak, SE1 4JU|Royal Oak]] across the road certainly used to let you buy a jug of beer there and take it across to the restaurant, but I don't know if this is still the case. I also don't know if they're licensed in their own right.

They do takeaway and delivery too, and you can order online [https://www.just-eat.co.uk/restaurants-simplyindian/menu via Just-Eat].
