MONDO @ Grove House Tavern - (Near Southwark, South East)

Julia Soldrzynski I owe this restaurant an apology. I was about to leave an angry review about my undelivered food when I discovered the real culprits: my phone carrier hasn’t been accepting calls (on top of the fact that my buzzer doesn’t work). The restaurant had actually been trying to reach me the whole time. They were incredibly gracious about the mix-up and even agreed to redeliver. (Although the delivery guy’s expression was a little grumpy but I would definitely be too in his shoes) I’m writing this review with more than a little embarrassment, but also genuine appreciation for their kindness. Now for the food—it’s very good! I’ve ordered twice now and have been happy both times. The portions are good for the price, and the quality is consistent so far. Their Onion Bhaji deserves special mention: it’s enormous and absolutely delicious. Even after delivery, it arrives surprisingly crispy. I can only imagine how spectacular it must be fresh from the kitchen.

Ezou Ezou If you’re craving authentic Lebanese food, this place is an absolute gem! The tabbouleh was incredibly fresh, the hummus silky and full of flavor, and the shawarma melted in my mouth. The portions are generous, the spices are perfectly balanced, and the service is warm and welcoming. It truly felt like a home-cooked meal. Highly recommend the mixed grill and the house-made baklava!

// K A I L E I G H // Came here for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time! The place is decorated so beautifully and the lovely waiter, I think his name was Kesha, was so kind and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the food!!! Especially the chorizo tortilla, red wine meatballs, and sizzling prawns! Couldn’t recommend the place enough! Thank you for an incredible evening ♥️

Gabriel Kusimo Lovely modern establishment with delicious variety of cuisines. Owner AJ is friendly and accommodating.

Phoebe Worsnop Absolutely amazing rare beef pho, up there with the best I’ve ever had! The broth is incredible, so light but with such a depth of flavour. Can’t recommend enough. Pho usually only on the menu on Saturdays though! Lovely, friendly staff too. Banh mi also very good, nice selection of fillings and delicious iced and hot Vietnamese coffee.

Satm jung Love Walk Cafe 81 Denmark Hill Camberwell London SE5 8RS TEL. NO. 020 7703 9898 WEBSITE. MENU – Love Walk Cafe https://share.google/DHHGEjPHabJUdZbfpĺ The coffees are of good quality. The décor and setting are stylised, quirky and comfortable. A wide menu with plenty of choices: breakfasts (Full English, American style pancakes), vegetarian/vegan options, fresh juices. Located in a nice spot in Camberwell, so good for a relaxed brunch or coffee meet-up. Outdoor seating and relaxed atmosphere: useful for groups or catching up. Pricing may be a bit higher than some nearby cafés. If I were recommending it: Go for a brunch or coffee meet-up with friends. The big breakfasts, pancakes and juice menu are strong. If you value photography / atmosphere, this place scores well (quirky décor + good light + outdoor). Try going a little earlier (say around 9-10 am) to avoid peak crowding and to get good seats outdoors (weather permitting). If youre after vegetarian/vegan options, it’s a good bet here. Ideal for a relaxed catch-up, working on a laptop or reading — but perhaps not the fastest service place if you’re in a rush.
