I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and well-presented, and the service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. A bit of a wait for the food, but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

I can see the vision for this restaurant and it has a lot of potential. The food was great but the price is questionable. The steak is not prime cut, but i will give 4 stars for the creativity and the idea. Enjoy the meal and how they elevate it.

The food was great and the staff were so so lovely and attentive. However, despite us booking in advance (for a birthday dinner), my partner and I were seated on a really small table next to the thoroughfare of the restaurant, and were sat next to each other (rather than across), so we were quite squished and uncomfortable. It is on the more expensive side so good for a special occasion.

We visited Kudu yesterday having been given a gift voucher by our wedding guests. It's a great place to visit for a treat/special occasion. The food is delicious and clearly a lot of thought has gone into the menu. We had the Tomapork amongst other things which was amazing. Service was excellent and we were grateful for the menu recommendations by the staff.

The best meal I’ve had in a long time. Both butters, the scallop and ravioli (although tiny), and the steak were absolutely heavenly. Would give it 5 stars but was quite surprised with the service; dishes weren’t really explained and when I asked what something was I didn’t receive a clear answer nor an attempt at it. Will come again though.

Oh, Kudu… what happened? This used to be my favorite spot, but last night was disappointing. Service was slow—our second starter arrived almost 40 minutes after the first. I get that they were busy with a private event, but being offered a free dessert after a £200 meal for two isn’t enough. The food is still delicious, but the hospitality has slipped. It felt like we weren’t taken seriously, which put a damper on my partner’s birthday. I understand unforeseen circumstances happen which can cause delays, but act like you care! I’ve worked in restaurants and I wouldn’t have handled it like that. We were made to feel as if the delays were our problem.

After a long anticipated wait to eat at this restaurant, I took my partner here for valentines. Like many other reviews we found the value for money really poor considering we spent £100 each (the price of a 2 star, 10 course tasting menu in London) and got pizza on the way home because we were still hungry... This being said we had 1 drink each, 3 very small starters, 2 tiny snacks and a sharing main "for two" which was 1 pork chop with two tiny cannele's of puree, and literally two slithers of greens for £54. Our side of pomme Anna joined the table 10 minutes later once we had practically finished the pork chop, yay! The cooking was really good, these guys definitely know what they're doing but portion sizes and prices don't make you feel like you're being taken care of one bit. Service was OK, a mix of 3 waiters dropping dishes on our table and rushing away leaving us confused as to what each dish is meant to be. Really wouldn't come back again unfortunately, not my style of hospitality at all.

This is one of my favourite restaurants to visit in Peckham. The Kudu Bread is mouth watering and trying most dishes on the menu it’s hard to pick a favourite they’re all so good. One of my favourite things about the menu is they’re always adding new dishes and trying new things. Definitely recommend giving it a go!

Small, very buzzy place. What might once have been described as intimate - tables are quite close. Relaxed vibe. Very good food, excellent steaks, very well cooked. Starters were very good. Excellent desserts. Meat focused, so can't comment on vegetarian dishes. Red wines were a touch disappointing for a South African place. Service was great.

Absolutamente increíble comida en Kudu. Llegamos temprano para nuestra mesa y nos sentamos a tomar unas copas primero. Esto fue genial, ya que nos dio la oportunidad de mirar a través del menú y disfrutar del ambiente. El personal fue muy atento, amable y acogedor, lo que complementa la sensación acogedora y energizada del lugar. Nos sentamos en el bar y realmente disfrutamos de la interacción con los chefs. Prepararon la hermosa comida con pasión y facilidad, manteniendo una sensación de calma. De nuevo muy amable y acogedor. La comida... Biltong - delicioso. Pan con ambas mantequillas - increíble, pedimos otro pan, era así de bueno. Alitas de pollo - tiernas y a la parrilla hermosamente al mismo tiempo. Zanahorias - Increíble. Ensalada Raddicio con pera - Fresca y llena de sabor Onglet - Cocinado a la perfección, salsa de ternera hermosa reducción, mousse de trufa, hongos que eran dulces y crujientes en una gran manera, col a la parrilla, que sabía fresco y perfectamente cocinado. Exprimimos en un pudín de ganache de chocolate, muy sabroso y el final perfecto para la comida. Precioso champán y vino. Viendo el esfuerzo que supone la comida y sintiendo el cuidado del personal, creo que este restaurante ofrece mucho. No hay fotos, estábamos disfrutando demasiado! Absolutamente inolvidable comida!

Heard a lot of good things about this place before coming, cant say I was disappointed but I wasnt impressed either. The starters in the set menu were nice however were snacks, and the mains were good but underwhelming and too salty (i love my food salty im usually criticised for adding too much but i needed my water after finishing). For a michelin restaurant I expected more, and the week i went I had been to a few other nice restaurants for some birthday dinners and considering the others were not michelin restaurants i found i was more impressed at those. Would not say it was bad either perhaps we didnt order the best things on the menu, but I wouldnt say I would come back (i thought the little kudu down the street was much better!).

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience here. Most of the dishes were very disappointing and overpriced. The service staff were nice but inattentive. We ended up having to complain after the chicken dish we ordered had loads of gristle in it. The waitress 'spoke the kitchen' and said the chef was 'really really sorry and it won't happen again', yet they still added the dish to our bill at the end. Not great a look for a high-end restaurant.

Oh the kodu bread is amazing. All our food was fabulous other than finding the lamb loin hard to get off the tendon. Needed a steak knife. It was quite rare. Staff were lovely and very friendly and attentive and because we mentioned the issue with the lamb we got the desserts for free. Not that we were expecting that because we did eat the lamb. The seabass was particularly lovely with a really fresh summery flavour.

Visited this place three times. Found the menu quite the same over the years. Looks like they're running out of ideas. The tongue dish was best but not on the menu anymore. The garden was opened this time and looks cosy and clean. Music too loud this time. Overall is ok just a bit pricey.

Super tasty, if spendy, food and drinks, though some dishes were stronger than others. A slightly broader range of options than at Kudu Grill, though I think I prefer the ambiance of the latter (perhaps because it's reminiscent of Smokey Kudu, which I greatly miss). I found the music overly loud and twiddly for eating to and given the house cocktails are bespoke it would be helpful to have some description of the ingredients and style rather than just the name.

-Fantastic service! -Mostly great food, potentially marked down due to personal preference rather than quality of food (see below) -Burratta was a little bland, although some salt and pepper that we asked for elevated it at least 2 points. -Bread with 2 butters was fantastic. -Chicken hearts tasty but a little small. -All dishes could have been seasoned a little more to our taste. Overall a great experience, and looking forward to trying their tapas and grill restaurants.

Kubu in Peckham served up a dining experience that was equal parts impressive and mouthwatering. From the get-go, the menu had us intrigued, and boy, did it deliver! We kicked things off with the Kudu Bread, slathered in melted cultured butter and topped with house-cured bacon – talk about a flavor bomb! Then came the Smoked Prawn Eclair, a funky twist on a classic pastry that had us all nodding in approval. And let's not forget about the Beef Tartare, which was like a party in my mouth with its chicken liver parfait and smoked chilli. But the real stars of the show were the mains. The Cured Sea Bass was a delicate dance of flavors, with apple, pea, and horseradish stealing the spotlight. And the Rabbit Saddle? Oh boy, that confit leg was like heaven on a plate, and the asparagus and artichoke piccalilli were the perfect partners in crime. Now, about those African Carrots... While everything else was hitting all the right notes, these guys fell a bit flat. Sure, they were cooked perfectly, but the ras el hanout seasoning just didn't quite do it for me. They were a bit bland compared to the rest of the lineup. Overall, though, my night at Kubu was a hit. The Smoked Prawn Eclair and the Rabbit Saddle were definite highlights, and even though the carrots didn't quite hit the mark, I'd still be back in a heartbeat for another round of culinary delights.

Food was okay. Onglet was very tough and the greens served with it were very salty. Staff were lovely but were somewhat slow. The prawn éclair was amazing for sure, ordered one serving would defo order two for two people. Great flavours overall just didn't live up to the hype necessarily. Will definitely visit the other locations.

If you like to be treated like a "cash cow" and do not care if they make you feel welcome or comfortable, this is the place for you. I booked online and prior to the date we were scheduled to go there, I was asked to confirm the booking TWICE via text and then I received a text with the confirmation of my booking. I was already put off by the "rules" as this showed what the priority of this restaurant is: getting as much money from each customer as possible. They emphasize that people only have 2h for dinner and that your table will be given away if you are more that 15 min late and that if you don't come, your card will be charged with £20 per person. Me, I understand when a spot is trying to make the most of the time when they are in demand, however, they are still a restaurant and people come there for a nice time and good food. I can't rate the food because we were treated so rudely that we left before ordering!!!! 30 minutes before the reservation time, another text came to say I was "due" at Kudu in 30 minutes. I already felt like a petitioner and they would do me a favor to have me.... My friend is pregnant and she was late, so we arrived at the place at 19:04. Our booking was for 18:45. At 19:04, I had a call from the "lead waitress" but I didn't answer because we were already there. She greated us with "I just called you" and "didn't you see my call". I hung up our coats and sat down and the first thing she then said was "we are already 20 minutes behind". Behind for what?? For the 5 courses SHE wanted us to purchase before the 2h are spent and we will be asked to leave??? This was when it was clear for me that our expectations towards each other could not be met. I had enough and decided that I would not stay there and be treated like someone "inferior" and after "my time is over" give them a lot of money. By the way, there is no other way to describe her tone other than RUDE. Their prices are on the higher side and they add a service charge of 13.5%. Me, I love giving a good tip IF the service was great and I don't mind higher prices as long as the quality of the food, the ambience and the service are all impeccable. I never left a restaurant before placing my order.

Service was great the Managers and all the wait staff were highly charismatic and affectionate . Where it went wrong was the food - littered with errors. The ravioli was just raw- it was like chewing wet wheat with no flavour. Duck hearts im not to sure of as the flavour of the peri peri didn’t really come through. The onglet was very overpriced for what it was £58 to be served with over salted mushrooms and truffled mash seemed over the top. The dish didn’t seem to show any culinarily innovation that you’d expect from a £60 steak . The hispi cabbage was difficult to eat along side the mushrooms with the latter being over seasoned . Only positive from the food side was the bread. The plating was also questionable with a massive cabbage covering such a small plate made it really difficult to eat . The cabbage was also difficult to cut and might have been under cooked as well Overall the service was fantastic from all the managers and waitstaff but the food was littered with errors from start to finish. I don’t understand the hype.

Finally visited Kudu after being on my list for ages, and it exceeded expectations! It's some of the best food I've had in a while. Highlights were the gorgeous fluffy bread with the most delicious melted butter (i wish we had ordered the two butters), the smoked prawn ravioli, the onglet, and the incredible rhubarb dessert (I would go back just for this dessert!). The space itself is small, but comfortable , and service was fantastic. Highly recommend!

My recent visit to Kudu restaurant was disappointing. We were seated in a corridor facing the toilets, which was not pleasant. Despite asking for a different table, we had to wait for 45 minutes before being moved. We explained our concerns to the manager, emphasising the importance of informing customers about table locations when booking. While they acknowledged our concerns, they still allowed us to leave feeling disappointed. Having previously enjoyed a positive experience at Kudu a year ago, this visit was underwhelming. While the food was satisfactory, it failed to leave a lasting impression compared to our previous visit. Paying premium prices for a meal should not entail being situated in a corridor next to the toilet. I’m writing this review to advise other diners to be careful when making their reservation about where they will be seated, especially when picking high top tables. It's a shame that despite our feedback, the manager didn't ensure our satisfaction. We won't be visiting again.

Kudu is beautiful and a very boujey spot in Peckham. Atmosphere, service and cocktails are great. The food is made very well, the only thing it is suffering from is trying to be too quirky which results in small expensive plates and items you order but might not like eg. Chicken hearts and cheese churos. Out of the 3 Kudus, Little Kudu and Kudu Grill I enjoyed more ☺️

This was an exceptional restaurant for those that want something slightly different but still of very good quality and good value. It was recommended by family to go after they went and thoroughly enjoyed! The set lunch menu is exceptionally good value for money as the quality is very good. The bread is to DIE FOR! It’s almost worth going for the bread itself! Staff were very welcoming, accommodating and clearly knew the menu, explaining the dishes in detail. A wonderful lunch…can’t wait to go again!

Been wanting to try Kudu for over 3 years and finally made it last night - it certainly did not disappoint. All the dishes were unique with their own burst of flavours! My favourite of the night would have to be the beef tartare - it reminded me of fresh ceviche except with beef. Highly recommend this for anyone who’s after something flavourful and to spoil the tastebuds! Will definitely try their sister branches in the future. The staff were all so attentive and friendly too which added to the experience. Thanks Kudu!

Food is good, not amazing. Serving staff are awful. Rude, not interested.

The meal was phenomenal, start to finish - so tasty! The staff were lovely and attentive. Highly recommend the steak for two, so flavourful and tender. Definitely worth the visit!

Everything was amazing about this place. The Kudu bread is STUNNING: you must order it. If you can - both butters. The Chenin Blanc is just great. Go. Enjoy.

I don't normally bother leaving negative reviews, but have been awake most of last night being ill following a meal here and wasted my plans for today. My friend who ate the same meal as me was exactly the same, and our symptoms fit with mushroom poisoning for the type of mushroom in our main meal. We let the restaurant know and got a disappointingly defensive response saying nobody else had complained and listing the numbers of each dish they had sold. Granted I can't say 100% this caused us both to be ill in exactly the same way after eating the same food, but seems a pretty unlikely coincidence. Disappointing, and certainly wouldn't pay £75 each for the privilege again, even if the waitress was lovely!

Wow, this place is amazing! The food is incredible, we were fortunate to try most of the dishes on the menu and the flavours are Michelin star quality. There was a lively atmosphere with great service. Can’t wait for our next trip.

What a great spot! Went for dinner on a Sunday, and it was great. Would definitely recommend the bread with seafood butter, prawn ravioli, and monkfish. The customer service was really nice and attentive. I am already thinking about my next visit there.

10/10 on all fronts. The atmosphere is intimate, classy but still comfortable. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the kudu bread as the butters were a bit underwhelming but plenty other options to choose from!

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. We had the Kudu bread and the biltong to start with, the beef tartare and the onglet as a main course. We didn’t have space for dessert, but it was my partner’s birthday and the staff brought us some sweets with a candle on it. Very sweet of them. Everything was cooked and presented to perfection, and the service was on point. Highly recommended

A sublime meal and deserves its spot in time outs top restaurants of London. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only issue was they ran out of items on the menu on the night. Would recommend!

A Fantastic Introduction to Ethiopian Cuisine! Zeret Kitchen was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and it did not disappoint! I visited with my aunty after attending a prior function, and we decided to give it a try based on its strong reputation on Google Reviews. The service was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. They even complimented our attire, which was a thoughtful and kind gesture that added to the warm experience. We were really pleased to see that hospitality is an important part of their culture, and it made us feel at home. We decided to share a meal and also try the coffee ceremony, which was such an interesting and fun experience! They brought out the coffee beans frying in a pan, allowing us to see, hear, and smell the rich aroma as they roasted—a wonderful touch that truly immersed us in the tradition. I had never tried anything like that before, and it made the experience even more enjoyable. The sharing platter was also delicious. The sauces were rich and flavorful, and the staff were very helpful in explaining how to eat the meal properly. They were also attentive and provided us with extra injera whenever we needed it, which we really appreciated. The atmosphere and decor were beautiful, creating a warm and inviting dining space. It felt cozy yet authentic, making it a perfect setting to experience Ethiopian cuisine. They also had very nice artwork, which I presume reflects Ethiopian culture, adding to the overall ambiance. Overall, Zeret Kitchen delivered an amazing introduction to Ethiopian food and culture. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, friendly service, and a unique dining experience!
