Other Side Fried - (Near Lambeth, london)

patrick jacobs Oh wow, wow, wow, what a fantastic place and what a fantastic owner and what fantastic food, I really can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The greeting as we walked in was as if we were family coming around for dinner. I saw this place on Tik Tok and decided to take my daughter on a father daughter lunch date. We met at Brixton underground station and took the short walk to Etta’s Seafood Kitchen, don’t get me wrong it can be hard to find, but ask anyone once you get into the village and they will direct you. She’s been there for seventeen years so it’s well established. The strange thing is I only discovered it a day ago. Make this part of your day out because there is so much shopping you can do in the village. Ok so I was lucky because I had my daughter with me to confirm that the food was great, the inside of the restaurant is very eclectic and homely you literally feel as if you are in someone’s home and they are cooking just for you. I really wanted to treat my daughter so we went for the platter and ooohh it was so nice, it took a while but the food was being cooked fresh so the wait made sense. Don’t go there if you are in a hurry this is not a fast food joint, just make sure you have time to take in the atmosphere and enjoy the experience. The seating inside is decent and seating outside feels like you are inside because its covered, don’t be surprised if you turn up and its full, I can imagine that it could be based on everything I’ve said. While we were there the customers who came seemed as if they were regulars which is really reassuring. Back to the food, the platter is shown on my photos, its served with a glass of wine, I gave that to my daughter, somehow they noticed that and sent out a second glass, that was such a lovely touch. On the platter we had, calamari, crab legs, fried plantain, fried cod, prawns, little dumplings, akee and salt fish, and some great sauces. We also ordered the pepper prawns and mac & cheese, which was cheesy and creamy at the same time. Etta tries not to cook with too much pepper so if you want it with a kick just ask. We had a fantastic experience, because to our delight Etta took a break and sat with us and told us her story. She started with just ten pounds, “incredible and inspiring” now seventeen years later, here she still is. The food is well cooked and full of flavour and the atmosphere is truly homely and comfortable. Both my daughter and I loved every fork-full and will be back and will be sending as many people as possible to support this unique and exceptional independent fish restaurant. I will be back for sure and I know i will be greeted like a friend coming for dinner.

Lionel T Tasty Caribbean fusion food at reasonable price. Big portions - 3 tapas dishes was too much for one person! Staff are friendly and the owner stops for a chat with patrons. King prawns, cod fritters and empanadas were tasty.

Chrissie We live locally and have takeaways from here regularly. Good quality foods, every time when we go and pick up the foods, staffs there are friendly and helpful. We are soo pleased to have a good quality Japanese restaurant in this area.

Christopher Paul If you want the authentic flavours and taste of Sri Lanka, Anns food at the Singhe Kitchen is the place to be.It has the look and smells like something cooked by your mum.

patchpatch11 Best chicken shop ever. Made my Halloween. Everyone needs to try them. And also service was amazing. Slayyyy

helen asher Absolutely excellent! My three meats rice dish could not have been any better. 11/10! The roast pork was perfection! Best crackling I’ve had . The sauces that ties everything together was more perfection! Rice was fluffy… literally perfection in a dish.
