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.

Eva Rosa Atra Best tofu katsu Ive ever had, tasty food in general, great curry sauce. If you come Mon-Fri between 12-15 you get the full meal at discounted price. As I usually have takeaway, the picture shows the meal on my plate and sakurazuke (Daikon radish) is my own addition (you get pickled ginger in the restaurant instead). Lovely staff, I highly recommend this place.

Sarah Roush Absolutely love this spot for a sit in coffee, matcha and a treat. If there’s any desserts with tahini available they are always 10/10! It’s my new go-to spot for a coffee meet up with friends. George, Sid and the rest of the staff are always super friendly and the interior design is super cute! Would definitely recommend!

John Absolute gem. It’s really cozy and the food….! I could tell they used really good ingredients and they put their heart in designing each dish. Each taste well balanced and when I took a bite multiple layers of textures unfolded on my tongue. The wine on the menu is also really nice.

Aliw Bah S. Food is delicious, filled with beautifully blended flavours!!! So good that the bowl was cleaned spotless!
