Mels cafe - (Near Hackney, london)

Lydiana Abbott One of my favourite spots on Mare Street!! I honestly tell them every time I go their pho is the best! And so cheap! £6 chicken pho - the PERFECT lunch time portion. Their large is £9! So now I’ll put a review here so everyone can see how much I love their amazing pho. They are the nicest people too ❤️

Teresa Lopez I had the opportunity to try the carnitas, suadero and pastor tacos and the tacos were delicious! Thank you so much

Jialei Qian Amazing! Our first time here and really enjoyed all the dishes, and service is attentive and prompt. Good price for tasting menu and a lot of thought has gone into the food / menu, really good quality tasting menu. And importantly for us it is dog friendly!! Highlights were ravioli and focaccia (made in-house, so chewy and nice crunchy crust, perfect for wiping up all the sauces) We will definitely be back again!

Kamonnoot Kittitommatorn The food was really good especially the fish. It was very fresh. They grilled it nicely with crispy skin. We love all the food we ordered.

Chi Man Chan ​If youre in Deptford, you absolutely have to try this place! My first experience with Caribbean food at this restaurant was incredibly impressive. The Food: Authentic & Great Value I tried the Oxtail and Curry Goat for the first time, and both were outstanding. The flavors were deep and perfectly soaked into the meat, which had a great texture—tender but still with a satisfying "bite." Everything felt very fresh and clean, and the portions offered amazing value for money. ​Atmosphere & Service: Friendly & Professional The staff were very friendly and patient, making me feel welcome as a first-timer. I also noticed that the kitchen was very clean and organized, which is always reassuring. Even on a Tuesday afternoon, there were many young locals waiting for their food, which gave me the confidence that this is a true neighborhood favorite. Coming to Deptford, you must try the famous Caribbean cuisine, and I truly believe the food here is as authentic as it gets—just like in Jamaica. Highly recommended!
