I just had some food at Chilli & Garlic, a new place on Zenoria Street. I had the chicken meal bowl which was really tasty. It’s super fresh, healthy, generous portions and really good value. They have various salad, wrap and mezze options. A few tables to sit in, or takeaway. The staff are really nice too and they’re open late. Thoroughly recommend.

For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.

We had lunch here today.

It was really good.

I had a salad bowl with falafels. You don't have to have chilli and garlic - they ask you when you order.

It was a really generous portion, all very fresh, and the excellent salad  came with three very  large and tasty falafels, two stuffed vine leaves, hummus and tahini.

Excellent value. I can't remember exactly how much it was, but around £6 to £7.

My partner had a wrap, which he said was good too, and a freshly squeezed juice.

We ate in, but I took half of mine home to eat later.

There were people in front of us, but we didn't have to wait long.

They have a loyalty card - free drink the third time you go, free side the sixth time and a free wrap or bowl the tenth time.

Highly recommended!

Found Chilli & Garlic to be pretty tasty and very good value, a really welcome addition amongst the sourdough, bakeries and pub fare.

Personally, I prefer smaller sized Falafel, for more crunch and lightness. And I found overall, everything lacking a bit of punch. More Chilli and Garlic, and pickles please! Maybe that’s just what I’m accustomed to. 

Highly recommend the falafel on Northcross Road market - amazing value, really excellent falafel, and you can really taste the care that goes into the homemade fresh pickles, sauces & salads. 
Having travelled extensively in the middle east & I find it a close match to the many falafel stands I have tried.

    • Yawn.. as I and others suspected the noticeboard is already looking shabby, has the details of local councillors who in my experience are of very limited help with anything at all (e.g. noticeboard took several years of writing to get back in working order and now isn't being kept up to date with any useful local info about food banks or any services as promised). So nothing at all in left hand side. Pointless and a real shame as could benefit so many small businesses.. and no I don't own a small business I just believe in supporting shopping locally where possible and know they often have little to no marketing budget.
