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.

Holly Bazley Although they offer a lot and could condense the menu into the best items, the service and kindness of staff is amazing and delicious salad selection. It’s nice to have staff that really care about the service and want to make sure the customer is happy and satisfied:)

T G this is probably one of the best meals I’ve had in London so far. The vibe just felt right, good music in the background, but not so loud that you’re shouting across the table. You can actually relax and talk. The artichoke orzo and the picanha meat were the standout for me, I’d go back just for those. I’m usually a bit sceptical about small plates because sometimes you end up paying a lot for very little, but that wasn’t the case here. The portions were generous enough and the pricing felt fair. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, and the whole place is beautifully done: cosy, elegant, and thoughtful without feeling try-hard. It’s the kind of spot you leave already planning to return to.
