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

Oliver Yung Ever so often, one craves that hearty, honest meal and for me, that’s Chaconia, a Trinidadian restaurant at the heart of Deptford. The simple and clean store front veils the rich and exciting flavours that belie. I ordered the chicken curry and rice and was persuasively nudged by a fellow diner to try the goat curry instead; fortunately, the most generous proprietress indulged my gustatory fancies and offered me a small side of that. It was a plate of absolute joy - both curries had distinct flavours and the meats were perfectly stewed, retaining their structure while being succulent to the bite. The rice was well flavoured and was the perfect accompaniment to those rich curries. At £5, this was an absolute steal. I’ll be back.

Friend A Delicious Dim Sum Chinese food at a reasonable price compared to Chinatown in central London. Some restaurants rush their cooking and some skimp on portion size but this doesn’t. I’ve eaten at many Asian restaurants and this one was wonderful! Taro croquettes, Har Gau prawn dumplings, Prawn Cheung Fun rice rolls, jellyfish, beef ho fun flat wide rice noodles, pork ham siu gok dumplings and many more options to choose from. Clean, quiet, on the end of Deptford high street. Highly recommend ☺️

Joseph Stansfield Came for the cheap Thursday menu. Staff were super attentive. Food came out fast staggered and hot which was perfect. Incredible flavours, pork belly, curried coat and Guinness Punch are a must.

Rakesh Raki Great food and great service must visit place

Olusaanu Adegbembo Came over with my wife and aunt this evening for a seafood boil treat and we left very impressed with the quality of the food. It was worth the value of money spent in every detail. We left filled up with a sweet sensation that will linger on our taste buds for a long time. We surely will visit again when next we are in town.

L Best Nigerian food in London. I love the rice, beans, hot sauce and assorted meat. The prices for what you get is incredible. Sad I don’t live closer to deptford these days The service isn’t super friendly but I don’t care anymore lol
