Lazy Chef - (Near , london)

Ashley Smith We had our first dinner at Sessa in Herne Hill last night and absolutely loved it! Firstly, the location couldn’t be better - it’s practically opposite the station, so incredibly easy to get to. From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel genuinely welcome. We were dining with friends and ended up trying most of the menu! The standouts for us were the Mussels Escabeche, the Beef Tartare and the Malfatti — all beautifully cooked and full of flavour. Also, fried pasta is beautifully simple but so good. We finished with desserts, including an incredible banana ice cream (this should be a regular on the menu!) and the tart. A perfect end to a brilliant meal. We can’t wait to visit again. Highly, highly recommended!

J A Lovely authentic food, really tasty and definitely better than some of the main chains out there. Worth coming along to and they do some really nice vegi options too.

Santhosh KJ After a long time, returning to Sravs Kitchen on Portswood Road for dinner felt both comforting and memorable, delivering a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. The chilli chicken was bursting with flavor, perfectly spicy with a well-balanced sauce that coated each tender piece, making it an absolute delight. The chicken 65 was equally impressive, crispy on the outside yet succulent inside, with a subtle heat and aromatic seasoning that lingered pleasantly. The lamb biryani was a true highlight of the meal, rich in aroma and depth, with perfectly cooked lamb that was soft and flavorful, blended beautifully with fragrant basmati rice and traditional spices. The Kerala paratha was soft, flaky, and fresh, complementing the curries wonderfully, while the dosa was light, crisp, and expertly prepared, adding an authentic South Indian touch to the spread. Beyond the food, the service played a significant role in elevating the experience, as the staff were warm, courteous, and attentive, ensuring everything was served promptly and checking in regularly with genuine care, making the evening feel relaxed, welcoming, and truly worth revisiting.

Jonathan Dent Ordered online. As it was a Friday night 90 minutes later I chased on the phone and was told it would be another 6 minutes as the driver was on his way. 15 minutes later I chased again, and got through to the manager. I was told the "6 minutes" response was their standard reply, and that my order had not been processed as Id ordered from an old menu. I pointed out that this was their online menu, and was offered a half price meal, within the next 10 minutes. This then changed to 30 minutes when I challenged the time...absolute shambles, management style is obviously to tell the customer any old guff. Stay clear if you actually want to eat something...

Rebecca B I come here every time I visit London. The atmosphere is great, staff is friendly and the food is quickly served to the table. The Mac & Cheese are my favorite and I was pleasantly surprised about the wide range of non-alcoholic beers and drinks in the menu. The Friend at Hand is always worth a visit! :)

L Lan I have been coming to Hanoi Cafe for years - whenever I am in the area, I choose this place every time! I love the family and woman who runs the restaurant, she is wonderful! The food is great and the staff are lovely and accommodating. I feel welcome every time - thank you for all the wonderful food you make and for the warm atmosphere you welcome your customers with, its like eating at home :)
