Tani Delestrée Amazing people! Amazing wine and lovely atmosphere! 100% recommend! If you close your eyes and you’re under the heaters, the food makes you feel like you’re in Portugal or Italy

Oliver Yung Ever so often, one craves that hearty, honest meal and for me, that’s Chaconia, a Trinidadian restaurant at the heart of Deptford. The simple and clean store front veils the rich and exciting flavours that belie. I ordered the chicken curry and rice and was persuasively nudged by a fellow diner to try the goat curry instead; fortunately, the most generous proprietress indulged my gustatory fancies and offered me a small side of that. It was a plate of absolute joy - both curries had distinct flavours and the meats were perfectly stewed, retaining their structure while being succulent to the bite. The rice was well flavoured and was the perfect accompaniment to those rich curries. At £5, this was an absolute steal. I’ll be back.

Chris Jackson Great coffee and great vegan food. Had both the burgers and the bagels and can’t fault either – but you’ll need plenty of napkins!

Sindhu Pavuluri What a gem! We had a craving for tamales and found this place. Ernesto welcomed us in and he was incredibly passionate about sharing authentic Colombian food and not altering it to suit local tastes. The food was absolutely brilliant. We had the vegetarian and fish tamales. The fish was nice and Smoky. There were limited vegetarian options but they were delicious. For dessert we had the plantain fritters with guava paste and cheese. These were to die for. It’s all set up in a bus and the vibe was cozy. Highly recommend.

Rico Razzo Really great Japanese food - the gyoza were plump, crisp, and oozing with flavour and a delicious sauce. The prawn tempura was spectacular - really light crisp batter and succulent prawns, properly good. Fennel and cucumber salad was good, fresh, but perhaps a little over-priced for the size of the portion. All round great though and definitely worth stopping by.

J. Fagan Had dinner with friends. We had pork knuckle and winter melon soup, salt and pepper tofu, braised aubergine, dry pot beef flank, mapo tofu and braised pork belly. It was all really well made and delicious, good portion sizes and quick service.
