Came across this restaurant when looking for good caribbean food in Brixton. This place is…read moreawesome! It is a hole in the wall (literally) on brixton station road (cross pope road) near to the Brixton tube station. It is a takeaway place that provides affordable, tasty caribbean food. I got food and then ate as I wandered through brixton market. This place has really good roti and a number of different curries from chicken to goat curry. Also serves other dishes like jerk chicken. Finding this place really made my day. Would definitely recommend this place.

There is nothing like a good old Asian/oriental supermarket…read more Rice noodle? They got it! Fat rice noodles? They got it! Korean pack noodle? They got it! All the ingredients you need to make Tom Yum soup? They got it! Despite the less than appealing fishy smell, it's still one of my happy places in Brixton. I mean, what's not to be happy about fish sauce for 79p? Especially when Sainsburys wanted to charge me over £2.60! Are they insane? Don't they know there is a recession on? Needless to say Wing Tai had made nested in my heart because it flies in the face of consumerism, and give the little man a chance to enjoy fish sauce too! Fish sauce is not just for the rich. Fish sauce is for everybody!

Yep, you can pick up the fruit here and fly it to Singapore and take it on the bus and get arrested. A dizzying array of rice-based noodles? Ayup. Shellfish and odd things that you don't know how to cook? Weird things to drink? Tofu? Thai curry paste? Lemongrass? Coconut milk? It's all here. It used to be everywhere when I lived in San Francisco. Thankfully, I now live across the street from just such a place...

Okay, so first of all, this isn't open 24 hours; least of all on a Sunday, when it closes at 5PM…read morealong with every other grocery store in the area. That being said, even during the lockdowns, it is open fairly late and is really only one of two stores on this street that can be considered an actual supermarket. Enormous though it is- by UK standards- it isn't hard to get around inside and has two floors to keep things simple and easy to navigate, as well as an underground parking garage for those who dare to drive on these streets. Food and seasonal grocery-related items are on the bottom; clothing, toiletries, cookware, toys, and everything else are on the top. The prices here are very good for most items, and the quality ranges from, "I wouldn't trust this," to "I'll take ten!" The variety alone makes it worth the trip and the rather long checkout queues, as you're likely to be able to find everything you need in one go. Just don't expect a whole lot from the staff, as most will give you a lukewarm response, at best. If for any reason, you don't find what you're looking for, there are two other- smaller- grocery stores just a few minutes' walk down the street. And personally, I rather like walking here. Streatham High Street has a nice homey vibe to it.

There was something in particular I was looking for and while they didn't have it, 2 different associates were very nice in trying to help me locate it at another store. Overall, a nice place. Good location, lots of bright and natural light (always a bonus in any shop), and good selection.

In fact, I would become a hardcore misanthropic hermit leaving the house only when I needed a scent refill from the delicatessen. The prices here are cheap as well and they have an array of fresh cut deli meat, so you can feast for less than supermarket prices if you stock up here.

They sell vinegar, spices, honey, goat milk, pesto - all of their stock is organic and most of it is locally sourced.

I popped in when I was checking out the area as a new place to live and was heartened that this sort of shop would be close by. Selling a variety of healthy organic groceries along with a good range of vegetarian/vegan foods including tofu and spreads, Sesami is great for grabbing supplies from on the way home from work, and there's even a cafe/coffee shop element - they sell lovely sandwiches and hot drinks all day long and even have an organic sorbet counter. I can vouch for the blackberryYUM.

If you want anything beyond a main, you'll be paying more than 6. The food is solid - pastas and salads nice, sandwiches better than what you'll get out of a Tesco pack or up the road at Henri's. The desserts are excellent, as well. Be prepared for a sugar crash after lunch, of course, but so worth it. Regarding service, think good cop, bad cop. Usually one really nice guy working, and one grump who takes some massaging. If you're in a bad mood, these guys typically won't make it any better, and you may want to take a pass on the place. If you're in a good mood, this is a great spot for lunch. Coffe is crap - don't bother. There's no genuinely good coffee in Oval area, so just get a Nespresso for the office and stop trying to find it at indy places like this. Finally, don't forget that this place is pretty pricey for a lunch spot. Big portions, good taste, but expensive.
