DAN’S CURRY


writing colleage Solange Berchemin said in a recent column that the curry she had from Kasturi in Charlton was one of the best she had tasted, I took notice. The Curry Club had a mammoth Christmas curry here when it was the Viceroy so we clearly needed to check the new incarnation. After a couple of warm-up drinks in the friendly White Swan we skipped the starters and headed straight for the mains. I’m currently on a Vindaloo rush and the chicken one was spot on – well spiced and a decent amount of vinegar. The Lal Maas didn’t explode in heat as we expected but it disappeared nonetheless, along with a Hyderabadi Lamb Biryani and Mashq-e-Tanjan (that’s the chicken version). Considering there was a bottle of red wine and a few Cobras littering the table, the final tally of under £20 a head was exceptional for this quality.

friendly Mr Kazi, the food is fresh, service warm and the prices very, very affordable (a Chicken Curry is just £3.95). Indeed, one member has already nominated it for an end-of-year award. We normally tuck into prawn and meat dishes at Darjeeling but with a veggie in our midst on a recent visit we got to try an array of vegetable dishes too – Vegetable Jalfrezi stood out. What else can I recommend? I’d recommend you try this gem.


alking value we have to mention Darjeeling in Lewisham. Headed by ever-

and it’s always nice to visit the classy Everest Inn. Beautiful décor and smooth service underpin the excellent food. It’s hard to resist the Lamb Momos when there’s a Nepalese kitchen. So I didn’t. They were as tasty as ever and complemented by the Beetroot Paneer – a superb pairing, with the beetroot’s slight crunch adding something extra to the cheese, as well as adding a glorious dash of colour to the plate.

esidents of Blackheath are, of course, blessed with plenty of good restaurants,


wonderful smell of food, with some excellent stalls to choose from. When you’re looking for something a bit spicy head to the Thai Kitchen, at the market on Fridays, Saturday and Sundays, which offers Beef Masaman Curry, Chicken Thai Green Curry and Pork Panang Curry.

ou can’t walk through Greenwich Market without pausing to take in the


he Saffron Club in Blackheath not only has one of the coolest names, it also has a superb selection of seafood dishes. Punjabi Fish and Chips, a twist on the British classic, has Ajwain seeds used with the gram flour for the batter and a yoghurt dip. There’s even peas. Spicy I wonder? Other fishy delights are the Mixed Seafood Curry with tiger prawns, salmon, fish and mussels in a Goan sauce, and Bulsari Salmon, a brochette of fresh salmon with onion and pepper.
