Just popped in for a quick coffee and ended up having a Chicken Shawrama Wrap. OMG. Stunning. Just the right amount of warmth from the spice. Came with Salad and homemade chips. Best chips ever. Seasoned perfectly. The dalad dressi g was lovely. Food freshly cooked. Well done. Worth the visit. Thanks. More

Went to try a new cafe in my local area, and I can gladly say this is one of the best cafes I have been too in such a long time. The food was so good, the staff were so attentive and kind and my sister and I absolutely loved our full English breakfast. I highly recommend you go visit this place x More

My smoothie was room-temperature warm and £4.50. I asked for ice to make it colder and more smoothie-like and they didn’t have any. That’s crazy!!! Also, any business that attempts to charge me for water has lost my respect and business altogether. STOP CHARGING PEOPLE FOR WATER, IT’S MAD!

  • Eva Schulze

One of my favorite places when visiting London! Everything is delicious and I always order 2 dishes since I can never decide kn what I want. The harissa beans as well as the are some my favorites but I can also recommend the shawarma wrap and the egg dishes! Great place, lovely staff!

  • Gareth Bishop

I regularly eat here for a simple reason and that is that the food and service is great. Best coffee on the road and always worth the wait. The staff are always friendly and make you feel welcome. Good diverse menu and always worth trying something new. More

We went there for lunch. The food was so delicious, We had the falafel wrap and Algerian sausage, which is a big portion that came with salad and chips, and for a drink, we got orange and carrot juice. I recommend it and I will go back again and again. More

  • Emily Hayward

Stumbled upon this lovely little place this afternoon just looking for some late lunch. I ordered the chicken wrap and would probably say it’s one of the best I’ve had. Felt very welcome as the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. We will be back :)

  • Kyri G

Came in and waited for about 10 minutes not a single person came out to greet or take my order. - When arriving nobody was there to greet me, so I had to seat myself. After waiting for around 10 minutes, still nobody came to take an order.

  • Ness Last

Just incredible food the flavouring is exceptional and the ambience is perfection. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Simply the best ! Offering such high quality service. This is a little treasure , so I highly recommend.

  • Gemma Boyle

Just popped over for lunch and had the Chorba Special (soup of the day) which was AMAZING! Hot steaming bowl of meat and veg, beautifully spiced, with sesame bread on the side. Just right for a chilly day. Highly recommended!

  • Fardowsa Mohamed

Excellent hospitality, food was amazing 10/10 & HALAL. Would absolutely recommend. Location is also perfect and close by. Bakery (cakes & delicacies) & the lentil soup was delicious would definitely come back again. …

  • Val V

Had green lentil soup, and they even let me take the bowl home for takeaway (I returned it of course) amazing soup, fully halal, will be returning. Hard to find nice north African food around South east.

  • Nigel Williams

Lovely, cozy cafe with very kind and friendly staff (owner?). The Lean Green Smoothie is absolutely delicious - and vegan. We were visitors in sydenham but went three times during our stay. More

  • Adam (Risotto)

You have to try and eat here at least once. For a humble little cafe on Sydenham road, it has bloody fantastic food. The Chicken Schawarma wrap, Merguez, the Algerian salads. It's awesome!

  • Corinna Linzas

Arrived hungry at the cafe’, on a grey London morning, I asked for something which was not on the menu. After my order was taken, there comes the chef asking details about my order.

  • Paul and Louise Thomas
