The Garden Cafe - (Near Southwark, london)

Ioana Chira Went there with my friends for a Christmas dinner and we had a great time. They have a really good offer for the Christmas menu (pic below). 2 items for £20 or 3 for £35. Compared to other places this is a cheap menu. You can also get 2 cocktails for £15. I recommend doing a booking in advance especially in this festive period. It can be a bit loud when it’s full

Oliver Stein The food and drinks are great here. Very affordable and the staff are super kind and helpful. They have different sports playing on the TV and the restaurant has a nice, chill vibe

Selcuk Gulen Absolutely delicious! I had the chicken burger and chips, and both were spot on. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly easily one of the best chicken burgers I’ve had from a takeaway. The chips were hot, crispy, and just the right amount of salt. Service was friendly and fast too. Highly recommend Lee Fish Bar !

August Sappho I got the £2.50 jerk rice with chicken curry. Boss was nice and she was (at the time i entered) running the kitchen solo. Smells fantastic whenever you walk pass and tastes even better than it smells. Rich, flavourful, seasoned juicy. Very clearly slowcooked bone-in so you get all the flavour and she gives a damn good portion, no skimping. There was a small wait but again she was managing kitchen and customers by herself and it was 1000% worth the wait. Will be coming back to try the curry goat and oxtail. Warming home-cook style comforting food tastes like something a relative would cook you or a neighbour would send to your house as a social offering.

Maja I had a great experience visiting this café and will definitely be returning. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a perfect place to sit down, enjoy a coffee, and unwind. The space is clean, comfortable, and has a really nice vibe whether you’re meeting friends or stopping by for a quick bite. The coffee was very nice I also tried their protein stack and it was outstanding. It included grilled chicken, salmon, grilled halloumi, and eggs, all cooked really well and full of flavour. It’s a great option if you’re looking for something filling, high-protein, and delicious. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and prepared with attention to quality. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick and attentive. They made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Overall, it’s a fantastic café and a really positive atmosphere. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying and high-quality meal.

Eshani J This is not a local restaurant but we do treat it like it’s our local. We have visited here more than 5 times. With family and without and on some occasions having to wait a little longer for food, we cannot fault the service or the food it self. The most recent visit we had just before Christmas on 22nd Dec, I am not quite sure who the chef was but each dish tasted exquisite! From starters to the main, and we ordered few on recommendation by our waitor Ramone who did not steer us wrong and his customer service with a side of a warm smile made us feel at ease and comfortable to enjoy a good meal for two (which we don’t get the pleasure of often). 2 for 1 cocktails are always a pleasantry and they also have a decent kids menu too. I honestly can’t fault this restaurant. The food is what makes customers come back and the chef is doing their thang! Cocktails: A night in Bangkok Starters: steamed chicken dumplings (wow), Korean BBQ wings & Calamari. Mains: (New) Beef pad Thai - beef was a little bit chewy which is based on cut and the length of cooking time. If a little less chewy would be perfect. (Ramone recommended) Indonesian Chicken Jawa with Nasi goreng rice. Now this dish is for the flavour and seasoning lover. Wow! Just delishes!
