The Empire Bar - (Near Hackney, london)

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!

Sobeit M Still licking my chops! Delicious food. The Lamb Bhuna was very tasty, albeit spicy. Pilau rice, fluffy and fragrant. Butter naan, a little crispier than Im used to but tasty nonetheless. The mixed tandoori grill was a sizzling feast of meats and onions. The starter came within 10 minutes, and the main meal about 7 mins after. Very generous portions. The music was loud but set the atmosphere and we didnt have to shout to make ourselves heard. Will definitely return to try other dishes on the menu as we enjoyed every one we ate.

M O I was skeptical when i walked in, however the food was faultless and well priced

T P Moc Kitchen serves some of the best authentic Vietnamese food in Deptford I have ever eat. The dishes are fresh, full of flavour, and made with traditional ingredients that really capture the taste of Vietnam. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere make it a great spot for anyone looking for genuine Vietnamese food. Highly recommend .
