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!

J. Fagan Had dinner with friends. We had pork knuckle and winter melon soup, salt and pepper tofu, braised aubergine, dry pot beef flank, mapo tofu and braised pork belly. It was all really well made and delicious, good portion sizes and quick service.

Layla Hussain always come here for chicken wrap and chips.. my local takeaway.. food is always made fresh so i never mind waiting and the gentlemen serving is also kind.. will always recommend!!

Kharyn Campbell I was craving tacos. They were so good. Melinda was our server. She was so friendly and helped us pick out the food. I would recommend to anyone. The Birria combo was everything. And my smoked pineapple margarita was good too.

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.

Friend A Delicious Dim Sum Chinese food at a reasonable price compared to Chinatown in central London. Some restaurants rush their cooking and some skimp on portion size but this doesn’t. I’ve eaten at many Asian restaurants and this one was wonderful! Taro croquettes, Har Gau prawn dumplings, Prawn Cheung Fun rice rolls, jellyfish, beef ho fun flat wide rice noodles, pork ham siu gok dumplings and many more options to choose from. Clean, quiet, on the end of Deptford high street. Highly recommend ☺️
