I Due Amici in Lambeth

I Due Amici , truly feels like a home away from home. The warmth of the restaurant is immediately apparent, with its cozy, intimate setup that makes you feel welcomed the moment you walk through the door. the gentle hum of conversation and soft background music provide a comforting ambiance. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in and unwind, taking your time to savor your meal without ever feeling rushed. Their avocado egg with toast is a highlight—simple, yet thoughtfully prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. The staff at I Due Amici enhance the experience even more, as their friendly and attentive service makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer.

Love the vibes of this cafe. Staff are very kind and the service is quite quick. This place seems quite “local” which I appreciate. Gave 4/5 for food because the bread was burnt - ingredients were great otherwise.

Guy there was incredibly rude. Would never come here again.

Lovely cafe. Spent most of the morning here working whilst my dog was in the vets. Lots of light and nice garden terrace out back too. Fresh orange justice was great as was the lamb stew! Felt fresh, healthy and delicately cooked. Service was friendly too.

Amazing people, great food, also Vegan friendly options.

Fantastic food, drinks and welcome I highly recommend thank you 😌

Such a lovely cafe, best in the area. Staff always friendly and delicious food at reasonable price!

Delicious food, exceptional service! The owner is very nice. :) I had an amazing time there!

This cafe has great food, the staff are lovely and make you feel looked after. There is a nice seating area outside, too, when the great British weather permits!

Very busy place so you know the food is great. Waiting time was good enough time to know your food is cooked properly, will make this a regular place for me to eat.

This is our second trip to London recently and we have been to I Due Amici at least four times. Solid breakfast offering. Our girls love the berry smoothie. I tried the Khoresh Ghorme Sabzi last time. I never had Iranian stew before. It was a bit different to my American palate, but enjoyable. The staff is super friendly. We will keep going back!

Rude Staff and portions are small for the price

Very kind and pleasant staff! Very good breakfast! We recommend !

Absolutely delectable feasts abound, really really would recommend so highly. Cant get enough, like seriously I can't. ten out of ten, will return as frequently as the purse allows.

Amazing brunch options! Delicious coffee, great atmosphere, cordial, vast choices of dishes and produce.

Very good breakfast , it’s a family run shop and are very nice people. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again

Very Good Food!! Friendly Staff!!

Nice cafe- salad was a little oily very good

There is a large selection of food, brunch is available all day. The food was prepared very lovingly and the smoothie gave me a good start to the day. The staff is incredibly warm and attentive. We'd love to come back!

Home, kitchen, product... Everything was perfect. Great address. The prices are reasonable for London. Go there with your eyes closed. 😁👍

Very very nice service and very tasty food.

Really nice and quick eats for Breakfast. Had the avocado, egg and bacon on toast with a smoothie which was great. Well prepared and presented and reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

Great place, good food, fair prices

such a lovely and attentive owner, good food made with love and great coffee!

Friendly owner, cozy feel, amazing smoothie, decent sandwich. Overall good experience

The staff are so friendly here. The food is delicious and affordable. A great option if you and your fellow diner fancy different things - sandwiches, brunch or Persian stews, and all are delicious. I’ll keep coming back.

Amazing food and such lovely friendly staff. Would definitely be going there to try some more dishes off the menu in the near future!

Such a good price for the epic quality. Service was 11/10 So kind and friendly - warm and welcoming, very attentive 😀

Quick and kind service 11/10! The English breakfast was even better than the fancy places in the city and far more affordable. The Iranian lamb dish was authentic and delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Good food for a fair price! You should definitely go there when you’re in this area!

I Was there today friendly but for the price it was defo not value for money £9 for a full English breakfast that’s what thay call it anyway.a few beens a sausage and a over cooked bacon with egg more like a kids meal and a can of coke £3 I don’t mind paying if you get what you pay for but this is totally was not won’t be going back for sure rip off

Really lovely local cafe, the food is delicious and the service is so warm and friendly. We brought our toddler last time and they were so good with her and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend!

We were in the area for 4 days and had breakfast here every morning. After the first visit, the store owner recognized us and was totally happy to see us. The feeling was always mutual. The hospitality was incredibly warm and genuine. The service was impeccable, as was the delicious food. If we ever visit again, we'll be happy to stop by!

Great food, great atmosphere, super friendly staff! Fresh squeezed juice & bread 👌. Feel like you’re at home when there.

Really friendly service Nice to have independent business in the local area, that get to know you and your family and friends.

The staff was kind, the vegan wrap amazing, and the fresh orange juice excellent.

This has become my family's favourite local, the owners are lovely, the coffee is excellent and the food is delicious.

Excellent food and service. Fair prices and the stuff is very friendly. You can sit in a very nice courtyard. Big recommendation

Excellent food and service. The stuff is so friendly! You can sit in a very nice courtyard. And the prices are absolutely fine for London! Big recommendation!

Love this local place, never too busy and generous portions of great food. Lovely outdoor garden with lots of seating. Everything made fresh. I would recommend the home made cookies!

As always the poached eggs were yummy & service very friendly.

I've lived in London for a long time, but being in this cafe is the first time I felt like a local. No rush or business disturbs this serene cafe. It's just chill vibes and wonderful service. I have had half of my sandwich and I had to stop to write this review. Best place I've been in a long time, five stars! ✨✨✨

During a walk past on a lovely sunny Sunday my partner and I saw what we thought was a lovely cafe/food spot. Before we could even put my foot in the door and get a hello, I was rudely gestured by who I can only assume was the manager or owner. I am not sure if he was telling me that I could not enter for whatever reason or that they had closed and he did not have the curtesy of coming over to explain or to even call over and say anything other than a wave of a hand and shake of a head. Infront of other patrons awaiting their orders and sat down it was quite embarrassing as I wasn’t sure what I had been turned away for. If they were closing early, then a simple confirmation of this would be appreciated. Either way, some work on customer service is needed as I felt very confused and embarrassed. Clear Communication is very important and the staff really fell behind the mark on this one. The place looked nice and the food too and I was looking forward to trying for the first time but unfortunately it was not to be. I found a lovely place next door where the staff were very helpful and friendly.

This place is absolute worst place to get breakfast. Nothing is made fresh..not even eggs. This guy charged £5 for microwave scrambled eggs swimming in water and cut up sausage for my child. Ridiculous. Then had the audacity to have an attitude because I was unhappy with paying for microwaved food. I WILL NEVER GO BACK

Nice people, great atmosphere however the food was not good. Everything is microwaved, the beans, the eggs, the mushrooms making them chewy and watery. The latte was lacking as well and very over foamed. It’s nice that they offer these things as I think they are more of a sandwich shop but if you’re going to put something on your menu make it right.

This place is fantastic and has some of the best smoothies in London. Definitely get one of the Persian dishes. They’re homemade and so fresh! The owners are so kind as well.

Wonderful place. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. A real hidden gem.

Good food at great prices! Very friendly service and they have a cute garden.

The staff were friendly and polite but the quality of food and the way it was cooked was very poor. The whole set up was unorganised and we wasn’t impressed with the fact they couldn’t be bothered to put oak milk in the 3 hot drinks we asked for but to use the full fat milk left out on the side. Never again

Lovely staff and food! Nice back garden too!

We came for breakfast… which is very nice! Friendly atmosphere. It’s great value for the small money in London zones 1 & 2.

Nice food, good prices and attentive staff

I stopped by to work, eat, and enjoy the garden. They were attentive when serving. But I did stay a long time, and in the end, I felt like I overstayed my welcome. If asked, I would have ordered more drinks, but I had my laptop out, was in and out of teams meetings, and I think I made it awkward for them to approach. So my advice is to also show you are open to ordering more if you want more. I could tell they were worried about disturbing me, so I would be more approachable. I had a breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Not oily and bacon crispy! Had a cappuccino, too. It came with a swirl of froth that I've not seen before and made me love the cafe more. It's the type of place that can feel comfy, and the garden area is so lovely. Enjoy it!

Very sweet cafe. Can tell the staff really care about their customers. I'm vegetarian and they offered to make me something off menu which I really appreciated. Would love to see more veggie/vegan options available!

Bad full English for £9. Two mushrooms. Microwaved poached eggs. Looks nice inside but don’t be fooled.

I'm sure it's super nice in the garden in the summer, but we waited super long for our coffees which were not too great, and the eggs were totally overcooked, (which we did tell them about, and they offered to re make, but we'd already waited so long by this point we opted to leave them untouched). You can tell it is family ran, so I hope it was just a one off experience, hopefully the next time there will be a much greater care of attention.

Good food good atmosphere and good quick service

Don’t order the English breakfast, probably worst I’ve had. Bacon tasted of concrete

The place is not ventilated so just got home and have to wash all my clothes because they smell of food...

Nice food and mixed fruit juice

Mehdi was a top bloke and lovely food 👍👌

Yummmm and such nice service! If you’re here for lunch, try the Persian stews, made by the server / manager / owner’s wife

Brilliant place for breakfast. Friendly and great value. Will definitely come back.

Very nice cafe, lovely smoothies & friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely delicious! The Iranian stews were so hearty and warming- perfect for a cold winters day. So tender with lovely spicing. The staff were all so friendly. We will definitely be back!

Great place great owners love the food especially the Persian dishes

Tasty food with nice vibes, friendly staff, and good prices.

The smoothies and the bagels are delicious!! Thank you!!

Stopped in by chance for breakfast. Excellent veggie full cooked breakfast and coffee. Excellent service and a lovely chilled space. Highly recommend.

Great service, good prices and a lovely location. Real local gem. please support them!

Good overall experience, accessible prices and decent taste. Ordered a Flat White & Chicken Pesto Spaghetti. - The Coffee was of high quality as expected, considering the beans are from Lavazza (you can never go wrong with Lavazza coffee). - The Spaghetti were a bit too oily and the chicken did feel that it was reheated before being served; however, the taste was not too bad overall. Very friendly staff and cozy environment, especially in the garden area, on a sunny day.

Fantastic place for breakfast! The avocado toast with bacon and a poached egg is my favorite. The smoothies are also amazing. I’ve visited twice already and plan on many more in the future

Excellent service, staff very friendly and accommodating. Very much a family run cafe that adds charm. Very good prices. Food is good, but it reflects the price point. Would recommend for a friendly, good value meal.

Called in for a coffee while waiting to meet some friends. The service was excellent and friendly and the coffee itself some of the best that I have tasted. This is very definately on my list of places to go when I am in the area and next time will make time for some of the excellent looking cakes!

Worst full English breakfast. Everything was reheated. Very disappointed. Can’t say much about anything else they do. Just don’t get the full English

wow!! this is SUCH a wonderful place!!

One of my default lunch choices. Go for one of the Iranian stews. Realibly tasty.

Absolutely gorgeous food and such lovely service for very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend for any meal, any time. Check out the Persian stews, homemade and delicious. I’ll be coming back often.

Wonderful, cosy, family-run business in the heart of Kennington. The food is delicious and Mer / Mehdi / Dorna / Rahmin are very welcoming. Would recommend the Poached egg + Salmon + Avocado breakfast with Vanilla Latte!

Buongiorno Non ho parole !!!!!!!

Very clean, very friendly and attentive staff. Good coffee and chicken wrap was extremely fresh. Highly recommended.

Fantastic local cafe. Really reasonable prices and great homemade food. It’s not a Costa or pret, so it has an identity and it has a nice family feel to it. Had smoothies and vegan and vegetarian wraps with falafel and hummus on the garden terrace. All great.

Great family run cafe with amazing food and lovely service from very friendly, welcoming people. Highly recommend

Love this cafe! Staff are amazing have been here many times! Food is great value, and nice. Coffee is not the best but the value of the food outweighs this! Will be returning soon!!

RUDE SERVERS! THEY WERE RUDE TO MY BEST FRIEND WITH THEIR DRY OVERPRICED FOOD. YOU'RE IN KENNINGTON NOT MAYFAIR FAM!

6£ toast deal. So good so healthy. Very good smoothies

I noticed that this restaurant doesn’t have stove or a hob. They cook all of their food via the microwave, and mini grill. Nonetheless the food was okay, and the prices were decent. Going forward i’d probably give the English Breakfast a miss due to a large portion of it (including eggs) being cooked in a microwave. But i’d deffo go for a coffee or a smoothie as they have indoor and outdoor seating which will be perfect in the summer :)

Walked into the establishment and none of the witches *sorry workers* looked pleased to be there. Horrible front of house lady with foul breath berated me and my friend for requesting a refund after we saw reheated soggy hash brown & poached egg being made in a microwave! Yuck! Don’t dine here

If it were possible to give 0 stars, I would. From the moment we entered, we were not greeted. Our presence wasn’t acknowledged. I still proceeded to order but noticed that the food prep was atrocious. Firstly there was a stack of ready-made hash browns on the top of the microwave and cut tomatoes all exposed out in the open. Secondly, the ‘cooks’ were microwaving the ‘poached eggs’ in plastic which says it all really. Not only is that hazard it is extremely lazy considering how quickly you could make an egg fresh. After noticing these things, we decided to cancel our order (they hadn’t even started microwaving it yet, LOL). Anyways the cashier was EXTREMELY rude about issuing us a refund to the point where she actually threw my money at me because I didn’t have my card to process the refund. I tried to explain that I wasn’t happy with how the food was being prepped, and she shouted that it’s unreasonable for us to think that every egg would be made fresh?? I mean, this is a restaurant, right? Her temper tantrum continued. She shouted at us in front of everyone, telling us to get out and never come back. Trust me, we won’t, but I will warn everyone I know about this place

Terrible service. Review to follow.

Food, coffee and service is great. The owner is a very genuine guy who is clearly passionate about his business. Smoothies are excellent too

A great little cafe which has table service and a great customer attitude. Can’t go wrong with the breakfast in here, coffee is good too. In the summer, eating outside at the back is great!

Ordered a fresh orange juice smoothie, but clearly saw a carton juice going into the smoothie, didn't taste very good

Amazing place for very reasonable prices

Lovely service and good smoothies, but really not impressed by the quality of the food. All the meat was mushy and most of it cooked in the microwave. Would not recommend for breakfast/brunch.

Great food, smoked salmon avocados toast is great

Absolutely fantastic and very friendly staff

Friendly place, with straight forward breakfast at good price.

Excellent lunch options and great smoothies. Both are well priced.

The food here is delicious but the guy that works there - not sure if the owner - is always super moody and rude to everybody. They also take very long time to even take your order and then bring it to the table. It’s a shame the service is so bad and one of the guys there always super rude. Makes me not want to go there again even though the food is incredible.
