Angela Green My son loves this Cafe for its waffles and ice cream and chips, of course! and they usually have a good selection of cakes and pastries on offer, the staff are very friendly and attentive and you can sit outside or inside. it is accessible for wheelchairs and people with mobility issues. worth a visit if your in catford.

N O Empire Lounge is a stylish and cosmopolitan venue that combines a unique restaurant experience with an opulent lounge atmosphere. It genuinely caters to a wide range of guests — whether you’re visiting for a meal, drinks, or simply to unwind. The food was excellent, well-presented, and full of flavour. The atmosphere is vibrant but still comfortable, making it a great spot to relax while enjoying good music and a lively setting. Located in the heart of Catford, the building really stands out — especially with its beautiful gold-emblazoned banner, which gives it a distinctive and luxurious feel from the outside. Overall, Empire Lounge is definitely worth visiting if you’re looking for great food, good vibes, and a stylish place to chill or celebrate. I’ll definitely be returning.

Deni Teo We live round the corner and moved in just after eastern queen closed due to the pandemic. We’d walk past it almost every day really hoping it would reopen soon because it looked like it would be great. 5 years later happy to say it was more than worth the wait! Crispy pork belly is excellent, can’t wait to try more.

Sharon Osahon No idea why they’re rating is low. They’re amongst the top 3 Chinese places I’ve tasted and I’m extremely picky with food. I moved out of the area 2 years ago and will drive all the way down there for their food. For reference I usually have their salt and pepper prawns, any of their fried rices, sweet and sour Hong Kong style chicken, spring rolls, prawn toast. It’s all great

Adekunle The food is amazing..if u looking for delicious Nigerian delicacies.. look no further

Amanda Barlow Great food; excellent value, 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 extra side, 1 desert & 2 bottles of delicious Romanian wine for £76. I think the most expensive main on the menu is £15. The duck and prawns were particularly scrumptious. Only thing I could suggest to improve would be to turn the music down a little bit. We had to yell to hear each other sitting opposite at the table and all the tables around us were yelling to have conversations.
