The Watergate - (Near Lewisham, london)

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.

REG Badger Badger seemed like a very nice boardgame cafe, and somewhere Id like to come to again to fully experience. I arrived at around 9pm, the place closes at 11, and boardgames are charged at £8.50 for 3 hours of play. Opting against paying for 3 hours and only using 2, I chose instead to pay cards (free) and drink a couple of pints (not free but understandable). The Guinnesses I had were nice enough, service was friendly and everyone around us seemed to be happy to be playing boardgames in a nice environment on a Tuesday night. They appeared to have a good range here. They also sold boardgames and a range of other similar products in the boardgame area. Food looked quite good here but I didnt have any. The toilets were satisfactory.

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 ❤️

Joseph Stansfield Came for the cheap Thursday menu. Staff were super attentive. Food came out fast staggered and hot which was perfect. Incredible flavours, pork belly, curried coat and Guinness Punch are a must.

John Absolute gem. It’s really cozy and the food….! I could tell they used really good ingredients and they put their heart in designing each dish. Each taste well balanced and when I took a bite multiple layers of textures unfolded on my tongue. The wine on the menu is also really nice.

Hebah Aboud Great value for money, good portions and delicious food. Staff are always accommodating. The place is a little small and delivery is probably better unless youre in a small group. They have small mix boxes with noodles rice meat etc in one box which helps you if you cant decide what to get. Everything on the menu is delicious. Favourite dish here is the spicy wonton dumplings in broth. The fried rice is good too and so are the noodles. Honestly everything is really good. Locals love the place and its good value for money and is a gem in Deptford and one of the rare places nearby that hasnt been gentrified.
