Monika Restaurant : Seafood & Grill Deptford - (Near Lewisham, london)

Jonathan Choi Food was simple but nicely done. Generous portions that came out very quickly. Extensive vegan menu. As other reviews have pointed out, its on a busy road so can be quite noisy but that didnt detract from our enjoyment of the food. Decor is, like the food, simple but nicely done.

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.

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.

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!

M Farr-Matt Fantastic local spot. No tables but we sat at the bar. The food - Spanish- was excellent. Some of the best food I’ve had this year. Portions are not huge but we didn’t leave hungry. The staff (I think an entirely male team) were informed, helpful friendly and charming. There was a female DJ playing some laid back tunes. We will be back to try other guest cuisines in the coming months.

Medinah Sanusi The food at TT’s reminds me of home. So authentic, nostalgic and tasty. The staff were so nice and friendly — we were on full scale banter the entire time with Balikis commending the owners of the business. This is such a good restaurant for people who crave home or are curious about Nigerian Breakfast 10/10 for me and I’ll definitely be back for more. Bless you Jason & Kayode for creating this for us.
