This is a really cool authentic place to eat, I'd recommend the meat platter for 2, to share, which comes served on sourdough pancakes, (various stewed meats and veg), and more sourdough if you run out, and extra chillis if you need them. Afterwards there is a cute plate of popcorn and delicious coffee served. The local beers taste good, the house wine is also very tasty. It is one of my fave restaurants in Brixton. Regarding the comment below, the bread is sourdough, so that is how it is supposed to taste, it is by far not the worst place ever....maybe you should go to Mcdonalds or KFC next time, Jen.

Very good food!

This restaurant is a joke ordered a chicken dish for 9 pounds and got a moues portion consisting of the smallest leg sauce one egg and hard rice. The bread is sour and tastes awful. Please don't go it's the worst place ever!

Lovely relaxed place to eat with friends - ideally very hungry ones. The vegetarian options are good. Make sure you allow enough time after your meal for coffee and popcorn - the roasting etc takes a while but is a lovely experience. A really special and authentic place to eat.

Busy for a Wednesday night. We got the last table. Service was slow because of the crowd that was in, but when the food came it was delicious and the service was great - friendly, polite and human. We had the massob (?) - the set meal for two, meat option, with an extra portion of shiro (chickpea puree). Couldn't finish it there was so much!

The food was really tasty and not like anything I had ever tried before. I would go back and spend another evening there. It was open late, so we did not leave until after 11pm when we had to rush off to the Ritzy cinema. The staff were polite and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Unfriendly and dishonest service (was given a meal portion for two people while we requested a meal for three people...and we have been charged for three people...) .. highly poor client service ... not recommended at all.
