Review of Namaste London
01 Jun 08, 20:33
Terrible customer sevice 
We ordered a take-out from here recently, having seen a pretty impressive menu through the door.
The food sounded good and, even though it was a Friday night, we took the plunge. We were given 50-60 minutes as a delivery time and settled back to wait.
70 minutes later, I called to find out where the food was. "It left 5 minutes ago, it should be with you in a couple of minutes." 10 minutes passed and still no food, so I rang back.
I was then talked at constantly for 5 minutes by the guy on the phone, telling me why the food wasn't there.
When I finally got a word in edgeways, I told him this was our first time ordering from them and having to wait an hour and 25 minutes wasn't exactly good service.
This simply started him yabbering on again about how it's a busy night.
When the food finally turned up, it was OK, but nothing special.
My advice? Give Namaste London a wide birth!

Review of The Dolphin
11 Sep 07, 14:07
Great for Sunday lunch 
The Dolphin is a newly-refurbished pub in the heart of Sydenham and, my, is it nice!
We went there recently for Sunday lunch and were mightily impressed. It's big and has lots of tables inside, and the garden has a modern, almost architectural feel, complete with topiary hedges and water fountain.
The food was great, as well. A choice of three different roasts, (the beef was perfectly cooked - just pink enough), a veggie main course and sea bass (which was great).
The veggies were possibly a little too chunky, but the gravy was great.
They also do a nice line in Prosecco cocktails, but also serve up a lovely pint, if you so wish.
Definitely worth checking out, especially if you want to take the parents somewhere!
