City Cafe 2 - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

Ashley Smith We had our first dinner at Sessa in Herne Hill last night and absolutely loved it! Firstly, the location couldn’t be better - it’s practically opposite the station, so incredibly easy to get to. From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel genuinely welcome. We were dining with friends and ended up trying most of the menu! The standouts for us were the Mussels Escabeche, the Beef Tartare and the Malfatti — all beautifully cooked and full of flavour. Also, fried pasta is beautifully simple but so good. We finished with desserts, including an incredible banana ice cream (this should be a regular on the menu!) and the tart. A perfect end to a brilliant meal. We can’t wait to visit again. Highly, highly recommended!

C S Great to have a decent cafe, friendly staff, great food and value for money. Sadly Forest Hill is overwhelmed with pretentious places near-by, no where as good as Aroma.

Sinead Power A dear friend kindly organised my baby shower here recently on a Saturday afternoon (from 2pm-5pm) and it was so lovely and intimate. Food was delicious (especially the sandwich and with roasted tomatoes with whipped feta, the mini carrot cakes and chocolate cake with peanut butter ganache). Lucy was extra attentive and helped with flower arrangements and beautiful extra touches and they kindly kept the area open an extra hour for us after the main restaurant closed. Would definitely recommend for any special event! Thank you!

Truc Ngo One of the best sushis Ive ever had! I was more than thrilled with the quality and quantity (highly suggest the flower sushi set B and Tiger roll), the service was amazing too. Loved the little note, would definitely order again and recommend! :)

D S ⭐ 5 STARS — KOI Ramen Bar Herne Hill Is on Another Level Ordered chicken gyoza, pork gyoza, and their new chicken katsu curry — honestly one of the best Japanese meals I’ve ever had. The gyoza were incredible: fresh, juicy, full of flavour, and somehow delicious before they even hit my tongue. The katsu curry was next-level smart. The rice came perfectly cooked with the gravy in a separate dish inside the bowl, and the crispy chicken katsu was packed separately to keep it from going soggy. You put it together yourself, and once assembled… unreal. Proper crunch, proper flavour, proper satisfaction. It was so good I even called the restaurant to big up the chef. KOI Ramen Bar absolutely smashed it. I’m now planning to travel from Sydenham to their Aldgate East branch just to have it fresh in person.

Rojah Guntripp When here two weeks ago. It is a nice and quiet cafe. I had a soup of the day, it was a perfect harmony of: taste, texture, temperture and portion. I highly recommend this cafe as it is definitely worth its value for money.
