The Kennington - (Near Southwark, london)

Rimon Ahmed Back in August a work colleague said one lunchtime "boys let me take you to a place for some good lunch for the price of a meal deal". So we went to Falafel & Shawarma! It is a nice spacious simple looking shop, queue up on the right to order, then move over to the left to pay for and pickup up your order. There is long sitting wall benches on either side of the shop where you can sit in and eat, but when the shop is busy you will be sitting along side both queues. The staff were very friendly and professional. The gentleman who takes your order is always lively and having a laugh with customers as hes taking the orders and preparing the orders. Theyre always giving out samples of their side food items especially their roasted spice potatoes which are really nice. We each ordered their chicken shawarma wrap and their own made lemonade drink. The chicken filling tasted really good had that nice spiced marinated tase and the meat came out soft. They top the filling with a choice of garlic and/or chilli sauce which isnt all that spicy in all honesty but does give that nice taste to it all. The lemonade nicely compliments the chicken shawarma. We went again yesterday and this time I ordered their falafel wrap and that was equally as good! Also this time I ordered a portion of their 4 lamb sambusaks, which is like Indian samosas but made without the Indian spices. I liked them (being a bengali person) as they had the natural cooked lamb taste and had a slight taste of some cooking spices. For £4.50 the shawarma wraps they serve up interms of taste and how big it is, I have seen other places charge around £9! The side items like the Sambusak was £2.50 and again worth the price! Highly recommended place to go for lunch, you wont be disappointed!!

EJ Rifkin Absolutely incredible food and very, very kind service. I was shocked at how deep and balanced the flavours were. There were so many vegan options and really fresh ingredients. The ful is a can’t miss item!

Angelo Paragoso Highly recommend! Definitely Filipino comfort food at its best! Super affordable too! Made to order and the ingredients are all fresh! The pickled veg goes so well with the savouriness of the meat and makes you want to eat more!

Liv Cowgill incredible food, and really reasonably priced! we tried lots of different plates and left stuffed. great vegan options (including baklava), and very nice service!

Sophia Myambala The food is so good, the portions are large! The service is above and beyond. So grateful to have visited this restaurant instead of going elsewhere. God bless the cook!

Julia Soldrzynski I owe this restaurant an apology. I was about to leave an angry review about my undelivered food when I discovered the real culprits: my phone carrier hasn’t been accepting calls (on top of the fact that my buzzer doesn’t work). The restaurant had actually been trying to reach me the whole time. They were incredibly gracious about the mix-up and even agreed to redeliver. (Although the delivery guy’s expression was a little grumpy but I would definitely be too in his shoes) I’m writing this review with more than a little embarrassment, but also genuine appreciation for their kindness. Now for the food—it’s very good! I’ve ordered twice now and have been happy both times. The portions are good for the price, and the quality is consistent so far. Their Onion Bhaji deserves special mention: it’s enormous and absolutely delicious. Even after delivery, it arrives surprisingly crispy. I can only imagine how spectacular it must be fresh from the kitchen.
