Good Friends - (Near Lewisham, london)

L Best Nigerian food in London. I love the rice, beans, hot sauce and assorted meat. The prices for what you get is incredible. Sad I don’t live closer to deptford these days The service isn’t super friendly but I don’t care anymore lol

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.

Chris Jackson Great coffee and great vegan food. Had both the burgers and the bagels and can’t fault either – but you’ll need plenty of napkins!

May Myanmar Very nice local restaurant in New Cross, went for Thursday evening (only day they are open for dinner) when they have a dinner menu. Shared plates, we had almost all the mains except beef carpaccio as was sold out by then. Would definitely recommend, service was efficient and staff were lovely. Our favourites: the bread and dips, cherry salad (excellent), Moroccan fish and glazed duck breast salad! We wish the fresh bread was slightly bigger though to mop up all the dips! Definitely will be back to try their breakfast/brunch!

Sarah Food was amazing and did not take that long to come out once we ordered. Ellie was our waitress and she was so kind and made the experience so enjoyable. If you’re looking for good music and food but want a quieter experience go on Friday evenings, if you want a busier lively time, go on Saturday. I would deffo recommend this place.
