Jake Tilson So glad to see Nandine open again on Vestry Road - best Kurdish food in town! Everything was absolutely delicious. We had: PAQLA Pan-seared tava beans in pomegranate molasses with chilli butter, paprika and mint SHEPHERDS SALAD Cucumber, tomato, parsley, red onion, pomegaranate and molasses AUBERGINE PLATTER Three way aubergine; Aubergine strip salad. Smoked baba ganoush Aubergine, chickpea, tomato qawarma. Served with zaatar flatbread LAMB SHANK QOZI Seared Lamb shank and the slow-cooked for 4 hours, with tomato, onion garlic, green pepper and potato. topped with fried rosemary, Only comment is that the small text for V, GF and prices on the menu is almost invisible! Might be my age.

Jonathan Frewin We were big fans of this place in its rustic former incarnation, so worried about the refurbishment, but fears were unfounded. It’s been done really tastefully and the food is better than we remembered it. Somehow the prices don’t seem to have been bumped up for the renovation either. The pork with black fungus, as well as the aubergine were particularly memorable.

Phoebe Worsnop Absolutely amazing rare beef pho, up there with the best I’ve ever had! The broth is incredible, so light but with such a depth of flavour. Can’t recommend enough. Pho usually only on the menu on Saturdays though! Lovely, friendly staff too. Banh mi also very good, nice selection of fillings and delicious iced and hot Vietnamese coffee.

Nicola Greco Guido’s Grill delivers an authentic experience. I can tell it’s the real deal because every time I visit, there are many Bolivian customers enjoying the food — always a good sign. The meat is excellent: high-quality cuts, perfectly seasoned, and the cooking is always exactly as requested. If you go, I definitely recommend trying the “Guido’s Grill” — mix grill . It is a great way to taste what the place does best. Overall, a fantastic spot for anyone who loves grilled meat and wants a genuine Bolivian touch.

Angela Botchey The environment was lovely, the food was to die for, reception fantastic, I cant complain, it was I lovely place to be

Lucy Allan I have been to Queens a number of times and had a consistently superb experience. The service is always excellent- warm, knowledgeable and welcoming staff who are happy to guide you through anything thats new on the menu. The food has always been exceptional and feels as though it has been prepared with real passion and care. I have enjoyed sweet and sharp ceviche, rich pigeon with butternut squash, chargrilled romanesco, which was was a surprise and a complete delight, not to mention their famous beetroot manti (Turkish dumplings); tiny, soft and sweet parcels, like the best tortellini youve ever had. What an asset to Camberwell, long may it last!
