Afghan Street FOOD - (Near Southwark, london)

Woman Bear Pig The oxtail and rice I had was unreal. The meat was so tender, the bones practically melted in your mouth. I’ve never had oxtail that soft before. Honestly, I chewed the bones like they were a snack. The rice was perfect, fluffy, and balanced everything out nicely. It’s the kind of dish that makes you feel like you’re being spoiled, and you can’t help but wonder why all oxtail can’t be this tender. One of the best oxtail I had in a while!

Ewa Łepecka We decided to visit this place thanks to Shauns review here. The place doesnt look like much, its more of a takeout shop, but the food... the food is to die for! We took cod with fries and mashed peas and ate it at a picnic table in the nearby park. Everything was fresh and delicious, portion size was really big. What was a big positive surprise for me is that they fry on rapeseed oil rather than some deep frying mix. Dont be mislead by the simple looks. Do yourself a favour and get some fish at Lees! Yum!

Hussain Albeshri Great pizza! My usual spot in this area. Staff are very friendly, food is good. Can’t ask for more.

Ana Castaño Lovely Nando’s in Lewisham. Staff was friendly and attentive so they were always making sure we were ok and we had everything that we needed. It was not busy at all which was nice as there was no noise. Decoration is on point and restaurant is clean and spacious. They have seating areas in two levels. Food was delicious and price was ok (it’s a chain so not much to do there). They have AC which is good in this heat. 100% recommend.

Root Less Been meaning to try this since I first spotted it some months ago: I shouldnt have dithered, its a delight! Firstly the most charming, kind and helpful family hosts you could imagine who clearly genuinely care so much about making sure you are happy. And with this food, who wouldnt be happy? Started with possibly the best empanadas I have ever tasted (and my waistline testifies that I have worked through very many, including in Latin America): melting flaky pastry enclosing soft potato and tasty beef brisket accompanied by a delicious chimichurri. I chose the Ecuadorian ceviche which was not on the menu but suggested by the waiter. It consisted of prawns in a zingy fresh broth with lime juice, tomato, thinly sliced onions accompanied by plaintain chips and popcorn. Some habanero hot sauce added some heat and I cleaned the ample dish. I enjoyed this with a lovely fresh mango and milk smoothie. And the delight didnt finish with the food - menu prices are very reasonable but the Ecuadorian ceviche turned out to be £5 cheaper than the Peruvian one: I would have happily paid the £20 on the menu but they insisted on charging only £15. What lovely people making food full of love, albeit in fairly plain surroundings but I cant wait to go back and continue working my way through the entire menu.

Vikramaditya S Rathore Seemed like it’s new and just opened or went under renovation. Food is really tasty (I tried chicken pepper masala and chicken masala), which were delicious had actual flavours. Very sweet service and humble hospitality.
