Market Place Food Hall Vauxhall - (Near Lambeth, london)

Adrienne G A Toca had an extensive menu showcasing the vast Portuguese dishes. We were met with a friendly waiter and ordered a few dishes that all came out very filling. The seafood rice was rich in flavour, the umami from the mussels and prawns came through. What was a standout with this dish was the serving portion for the price point and the amount of seafood you actually get. The grilled octopus was nicely charred and cooked well, not too chewy. The pork and clams dish was an unexpected star of the dish. Not familiar with this combo, it surprisingly melded nicely together. It was seasoned well and the potatoes with the dish still had a nice crunch to it despite it soaking up the delicious sauce. Would come back here again!

Claudiu Gobiaja Despite the negative reviews, we loved the food. Ordered shortly before closing and we were impressed. Thanks

kian nabi Avli is absolutely fantastic! Their meat platter was a masterpiece – a combination of 4 types of grilled meat; All juicy, flavorful and grilled to perfection. All skewers were marinated and would melt in the mouth with their soft texture and rich flavor. (Suitable for 3-4 persons) Spanakopita was fresh and tasty. The crust was crispy and the filling was perfectly balanced. Fried calamari was fresh and delicious as well, but I personally prefer tempura fried calamari. Tzatziki was out of this world. (It can be enjoyed most if one likes the taste of garlic.) On top of the incredible food, the service was warm and attentive. Interestingly, the restaurant is run by a greek family who do their best to create a memorable experience for the guests. Everything there was top-notch – Avli is definitely a 5 out of 5 experience!

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

Jeremy Irwin A bit rough and ready but easily my favourite Ethiopian place in London. Have been going for 6+ years since I moved to London. Still trek here for dinner even though I no longer live round the corner. Wonderful owners. Flavours, portions and quality are always consistently great.

Eduardo Baihinga Great service and amazing quality food
