PAD THAI CAFE - (Near Hackney, South East)

Hebah Aboud Great value for money, good portions and delicious food. Staff are always accommodating. The place is a little small and delivery is probably better unless youre in a small group. They have small mix boxes with noodles rice meat etc in one box which helps you if you cant decide what to get. Everything on the menu is delicious. Favourite dish here is the spicy wonton dumplings in broth. The fried rice is good too and so are the noodles. Honestly everything is really good. Locals love the place and its good value for money and is a gem in Deptford and one of the rare places nearby that hasnt been gentrified.

D P Five of us had a meal each and drinks, all were lovely. The staff are friendly and pleasant. Good food unlike microwaved food from a pub or greasy food from a cafe. We went to the Bistro in Rainham and we will be going back again. Long may it stay there!

Jan Hlavička A friend recommended Mess Cafe to me, and I can say with certainty that our friendship has been elevated as a result. There is not a single aspect of this establishment I could criticise. The interior is intimate and elegantly cosy, the staff are unfailingly attentive and gracious, and the food is of such quality that it feels almost transportive. The menu is so enticing that we spent a considerable amount of time simply debating our choices, as every dish appeared worthy of selection. With only around twenty five tables in total, advance booking is highly advisable. I fully intend to return and explore more of what this exceptional kitchen has to offer.

Tim S The steak and chips box was great - steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavour and the salsa verde was fresh and delicious. Coleslaw was fresh and not swimming in synthetic mayonnaise like the usual industrially produced stuff from a bucket. Ill be back to try a burger soon!

E Trust these guys. Any time of day or night they have TOP quality food, made with peace and love . ❤️ look no further, I feel so lucky to have these guys as our neighbours ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rifa Adelisa Popped in for breakfast and really liked it. The staff were super friendly, and the food was good nothing fancy, but nice. Tried the strawberry milkshake and asked for it not too sweet they nailed it! Pretty close to home too, so it’s a nice spot to swing by on the weekend.
