Akira Restaurant - (Near Lambeth, london)

Kim Woolley Myself and my husband had an amazing evening sampling the taster menu. It was a lovely venue, with amazing staff, particularly Emma who gave us a romantic arrangement and Paolo gave amazing service. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly special evening. They also gave great catering to myself as a vegetarian and didnt feel I missed out compared to my husband who isnt a vegetarian.

Robyn Lewis Really good vibes, well priced food. Brilliant onion rings and aubergine cheese sandwich. The deep fried aubergine and cheese steak spring rolls were a highlight. The nachos were good/ok. The quesadilla was nice unless you got a bit with a pretty big birds eye chilli, in which case it was sooo spicy! The mozzarella sticks were quite disappointing and didnt taste of anything. But overall, we will be back!

Santiago Mc Cormick Hands down the best pub on the south side of the river, right by Vauxhall Bridge! The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The food was delicious (proper pub classics done really well) and the whole team made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. Big shoutout to Nachi who served us — she was so attentive and friendly

Hazi Mistry First discovered Ethiopian food on a trip to Glasgow and loved it and found this resteraunt near my sons place in Clapham. Food did not disappoint, we had a sharing platter for 3 and drinks ( we dont drink much) came to £60. The food was amazing ( see picture) the fermented bread has a tangy taste (sourdough) and the platter came with a chicken and lamb dish complimented by lentil dishes...all excellent. They have Guiness on draught and also sell an Ethiopian beer which was a nice tipple. Great experience overall but would say the place is looking a little tired and could do with a refurb.

edmund price My first taste of west African food, the jollof was very nice, but personally I wish that it would be served with a separate side of yoghurt to balance out the spiciness. The spice was a bit of a surprise to me. Atmosphere was wonderful, reminds me of a pannier market sort of atmosphere, even struck up conversations with complete strangers, that was nice. For London it is cheap, about 14 quid a meal. Though that being said, in other parts of the UK you could get a good Sunday roast for £14, is it equal to me to a roast dinner? no, but I imagine that many west Africans in London could enjoy this taste of home made for them, without the effort I imagine it takes to do yourself. I suppose its worth trying at least once, because like me in my situation visiting the city from a rural backwater, it is worth seeing what the world has to offer

S L Had a wonderful experience here. The staff were incredibly friendly - especially Shilpa, who made us feel very welcome. The food was great, and the atmosphere was cozy, relaxed, and romantic. A really lovely place for a nice evening out. Would definitely recommend!
