Indian takeaway on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich with online ordering through Just Eat and Hungry House. It looks like it used to be called The Coriander. They have a buffet on Saturdays (12-5) and Sundays (12.30-10pm). They do more interesting food than the standard X in Y sauce. Items on the menu include the South Indian dish chicken 65 and fish hara masala (Bangladeshi fish cubes).
secretlondon ordered one weekday evening in September 2009 from justeat. I had Swadesh treat for two (£5.95) which was a selection of achari chicken, kasoori kebab, lamb boti kebab, onion bhaji and aloo bora. For a main I had shatkora gosth - lamb with Bangladeshi citrus fruit. I also had lemon rice and a stuffed naan. They gave me a small portion of sukmi kumbi (button mushrooms) for free together with podadoms, mint sauce and a bag of salad.
secretlondon's verdict: The food was interesting and I'd like to try the rest of the menu. The buffet may be worth doing as they really don't have a lot of curry house dross on their menu.
Last sampled by secretlondon, September 2009. Opening hours from their leaflet.
