This fantastic turkish restaurant is hidden just behind Southwark station, and covered by plant…read moregrowth. The restaurant is basically located in a converted railway tunnel which adds to the charm. I selected the lunch menu. Despite the items being extrmely hard to pronounce I managed to order a starter and a main. The starter was a calamari rings in batter with a sweet chilli dressing followed by an adequate main of 4 chicken patties with bulgerwheat and salad. Very tasty, good portion and quality. This is definitely one to try again. The lamb shank looked good from what others ordered and I'll be trying that.

It is nice to see more and more places popping up in this previously quite deserted area. EV is…read moreperfect for a quick fix before or after a visit to the theatre or Tate Modern. It's self-service with all mezze dishes on display behind a massive glass counter. I can't remember exactly how much they charged for a selection of four salad items, but the portions were very generous and good value. Mind you I wasn't as impressed as I have been at TAS proper (they belong to the same group). The tzatziki and grilled aubergines were rather bland. I was impressed by the freshness of the parsley salad though and felt I was eating healthy food. EV is located under some railway arches and has the ambience of a generic self-service buffet restaurant - the type you get at National Trust properties. It somewhat lacks in atmosphere, even though the turquoise chandeliers add a touch of class. In summary: more of a quick lunch fix than a destination for a good night out.

Exceptional Mediterranean restaurant with a nice modern feel. They close between lunch and dinner,…read moreand usually reopen at 5pm, but on the first Sunday of the month in June, there's was a private event that pushed the open hour to 6pm. We ended up waiting an hour outside, but there is a big picnic area just outside so it was no problem. To start you have to go with the short rib hummus with harrisa all throughout. It is nice and spicy due to the harissa, and the meat is so perfectly flavorful and tender. The pita bread that comes with it is served hot and fresh. Also they have several delicious flavors of house made sodas. The mango pineapple has a real mango flavor topped with thick coconut flakes. Everything was excellent along with the service. We will definitely dine again when we're back in London.

Our team came here for lunch and got seated upstairs. Sadly it was a cloudy day so the view outside…read morewas a bit dreary. I'm sure the light shining through on a bright sunny day would be amazing. We all got a couple small plates each but of course our eyes were larger that our stomachs. 3/5 Beef ribs bagel - a serving of two and a bit small. The bagels were a bit hard but I ate them both and in a rush since they were the last dish to come out 4/5 Cauliflower - a bit tangy but I really liked it 4/5 Hummus - who doesn't love hummus with pita? Very good and creamy 3/5 Potato's - overload with green onion and was just ok Would stop by if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way

This place is delicious!! And it's not pricey at all.. The food is 5 star quality.. I've been here…read morea number of times and I'm always leaving very happy with my whole experience. Their pizza is soooo amazing! And the bruschetta is definitely recommended to start with. I love going here when the weather is nice because they have a beautiful large garden and sometimes they have live jazz. A perfect place for authentic Italian food and a excellent glass of wine!

I've had mixed experiences here but on the balance of last night's dinner, I would definitely go…read moreback and I'll give it a solid four stars. Their brunch is lovely, although the place was largely deserted so the atmosphere wasn't up to much - the only others were a family with some slightly noisy children, but that's to be expected on Bellevue Road. The smoked chicken hash was excellent. Our previous dinner was a quick and desperate search for a burger - their effort, the lamb burger, was very disappointing. But last night we had a full 3 course meal and it went way beyond my (admittedly low after the burger debacle) expectations. I had a great roquefort and endive salad followed by some tasty calves' liver (though why bother asking how I want it cooked if it comes sliced too thin to tell either way) and one of the best creme brulees ever (I know, high praise, but true). The bottle of Italian red was also lovely and not too expensive. The prices are quite high generally, but for this street, not so much. The pub down the road is probably charging similar and I can't imagine the food is nearly as good as this - my brother will rant about the joyous dauphinoise potatoes for weeks to come. z The staff were also very friendly, and although it's a little dark inside, the atmosphere for dinner is just the right side of too formal. Definitely a place for a date to impress, or a special occasion if you go for the full shebang, but also would be nice for a lunch. I imagine it's not too full of business types given the location. One small thing - no bread pre-dinner. I'd expect that. A good find.
