Have yet to try it. There have been a couple of take-away's in the area that have either changed hands or been re-named (such as the place just up from the Forest Hill Hotel), so I'm not sure if The Ghurka's Tiffin is a new venture or a whimsical re-invention. The flyer we received recently did mention that the chef once worked at The Bombay Bicycle Club, which is impressive providence if true... |

As no one else has replied but me - and with the blatant intent of propelling this topic to the top of the list - can I join with Nevermodern and ask if anyone has tried the food here? I'm usually dissapointed with curry take-aways (with the exception of the Babur Brasserie. They do a lovel;y lamb and shallot dish), but would be prepared to give it a punt if anyone here rates it... |

Their delivery area doesn't include me, which is a shame, especially seeing as i'm such a lazy g*t. |

I agree, Ghurka's Tiffin sounds marvellous, and I've also had a look at their website which I thought was very enticing. I've now recived a menu via currypost so I'll be trying it out very soon.
Erm, what is a Ghurka's Tiffin? |

Cheers! Made me hungry though! I'm going out for an Indian tonight, looking even more forward to it now. |

Well, I couldn't wait any longer. On Thursday night I ordered a delivery from the Tiffin and, I have to say, it was alright. Not in the league of Babur, but certainly not terrible either. I detected a reliance on dried chilli powder rather than fresh spices, but that minor quibble aside, it arrived piping hot in heat-sealed packaging and delivered with a smile. |
