NOKO (Brixton) - (Near Lambeth, london)

McCarthy Sam “SJ” Flavoursome, fiery with a serious love for ginger. Fish wings and tings, located in Brixton village can be described as a staple restaurant in the area brought to us by the Owner Brian Danclair and brilliant dishes by Chef Aunty May. Said to be some of the best Caribbean food in London spreading joy and love with every bite. Brian even has his own line hot sauces that are free to try at the restaurants. Brian was making the rounds saying hello to everyone there me and my friends had a short conversation with him and he told us how his original restaurant has been there for around 15 years and he now has three restaurants opened in that area and their all packed. It’s great to see someone so invested in the area getting their flowers .Aunty May was so lovely too she came to check up on us and made sure everything was good. Big shout out to our server as well who was running around trying I meet everyone’s needs on such a busy Friday night. I tried their Reggae wings, Salt fish fritters, and jerk chicken today with their sweet but refreshing fruit punch. Their wings were fiery, with a bit of sweetness from their pineapple, mango and ginger chutney. A strong start to the meal, it had a bit of kick you don’t often find unless you go to eat at certain places nothing unbearable but a nice heat that reminds of home cooking. The Salt fish fritters were GOOD and this is coming from someone that doesn’t even like fish but I was willing to give it a try and I was shocked at how tasty it was. It wasn’t oily it felt very fresh, well crispy on the coating and the ginger and like aioli was banging. If you come here this start is a must get. The jerk chicken and rice and peas were good had that pineapple, mango and chutney on the side a bit coleslaw and salad. The chicken was succulent but I wish it had a bit more of that fiery kick that those reggae wings had. I also wish it had a bit more coleslaw overall it was tasty but it wasn’t my favourite thing that I ate. If they had that chicken with the reggae sauce then we got something serious but it’s still good. I definitely recommend this place so if you have never tried it i recommend you shimmy your way down to Brixton village and try it out !

Alfie Whitten I came in today to get a Matcha latte, and although I felt that the drinks (i got a matcha latte and a beer) were rather on the expensive side, it was no matter as I was met with lovely service from the young woman (purple hair) working. The drinks were made quickly and well. She was well mannered and a great server, very friendly and a brilliant rep for the place.

Dan Calladine Good Japanese food and drinks. I popped in for a quick dinner and really enjoyed the special donburi rice bowl (with squid, prawns and kimchi) with a draught Asahi. The menu is extensive with noodles, okonomiyaki and more, plus lots of choice in drinks including sake and beer.

Mike M Amazing new pop-up doing all things jollof. The grilled chicken was insanely flavourful and came with a couple of sauces for dipping, plus a mound of their expertly cooked rice. Owner was lovely too.

patchpatch11 Best chicken shop ever. Made my Halloween. Everyone needs to try them. And also service was amazing. Slayyyy

Sabrina S I’ve been coming to San Marino in Brixton for years and it has always been one of my absolute favourite spots. It’s a family-run café and you really feel that warmth every time you walk in — the staff are genuinely welcoming and make you feel at home. The food is consistently amazing, especially the breakfasts, which are some of the best in Brixton. Everything is always fresh, well-cooked and generous, and it’s the kind of place you can rely on every single time. I’ve brought friends and family here over the years and it’s always the first place I recommend. I also love that they now have a bar in the evenings — the cocktails and atmosphere are brilliant and it’s become my go-to spot before and after gigs. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Always leave happy, full, and already planning the next visit.
