The Waiting Room Coffee Bar - (Near Lewisham, london)

Kim Mansell THE best place to eat in Deptford!! I thought the brunch was amazing (chorizo bagel is heaven) but then we went for the new rotisserie chicken and it was incredible! Succulent, good quality chicken that it brined over night and cooked to perfection along with the most delicious mushroom cream sauce! The wine is beautiful too, a glass of premium red or white that goes so well with the food. The owners are just so lovely and welcoming, you will come here and feel like you left as part of the local community. Coming back for the amazing looking cocktails soon!

Tim S The steak and chips box was great - steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavour and the salsa verde was fresh and delicious. Coleslaw was fresh and not swimming in synthetic mayonnaise like the usual industrially produced stuff from a bucket. Ill be back to try a burger soon!

Wenjia Tang The food is AMAZING and comes in huge portions. Every dish we’ve tried is full of flavours. The staff are lovely too! Will definitely come back ❤️

Alice Maresi Amazing place, the freshest falafel I’ve ever had and staff super friendly!

Sindhu Pavuluri What a gem! We had a craving for tamales and found this place. Ernesto welcomed us in and he was incredibly passionate about sharing authentic Colombian food and not altering it to suit local tastes. The food was absolutely brilliant. We had the vegetarian and fish tamales. The fish was nice and Smoky. There were limited vegetarian options but they were delicious. For dessert we had the plantain fritters with guava paste and cheese. These were to die for. It’s all set up in a bus and the vibe was cozy. Highly recommend.

Chi Man Chan ​If youre in Deptford, you absolutely have to try this place! My first experience with Caribbean food at this restaurant was incredibly impressive. The Food: Authentic & Great Value I tried the Oxtail and Curry Goat for the first time, and both were outstanding. The flavors were deep and perfectly soaked into the meat, which had a great texture—tender but still with a satisfying "bite." Everything felt very fresh and clean, and the portions offered amazing value for money. ​Atmosphere & Service: Friendly & Professional The staff were very friendly and patient, making me feel welcome as a first-timer. I also noticed that the kitchen was very clean and organized, which is always reassuring. Even on a Tuesday afternoon, there were many young locals waiting for their food, which gave me the confidence that this is a true neighborhood favorite. Coming to Deptford, you must try the famous Caribbean cuisine, and I truly believe the food here is as authentic as it gets—just like in Jamaica. Highly recommended!
