This is a local family run treat. Great flavours and colours. They do takeaway as well but Thai food is always best straight from the kitchen. Great service and super friendly

Ordered a takeaway on Deliveroo… it was DISGUSTING. Spring rolls not fresh. Calamari smelled off and inedible. The chicken was dry and no flavour in the pad Thai. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy 😂

We just ordered a Deliveroo takeaway from here. The meat was dry and reheated and the flavours were Chinese not Thai and very bland and both the rice and the Thai crackers were old and stale. Absolutely DREADFUL.

Lombok Thai is one of my favourite restaurants in Herne Hill. We've eaten in (when it was allowed) and had many deliveries from them this year and the food has always been delicious! Their red thai curry is always my go to and my boyfriend loves their pad thai with prawn and chicken. Everything is reasonably priced and always fresh and tasty.

Might be premature as I didn't order much but what I did order was really delicious. My mum also tried the squid and liked it a lot. I will definitely order again for both of us in the future, so far so good. I'm also very happy with the hygiene rating, can't get any better than 5. Keep up the good work.

This South East Asian restaurant has been consistently good. During the Covid Lockdown they have switched take away only (either pick-up or deliveroo/uber eats. They have maintained their already high standards and produce food that it very fresh, delicious and very reasonably priced. Their Panang curry is to die for. Thoroughly recommended.

I was really excited when I read the menu for Lombok on Uber eats. It’s a bit pricier than most but I was confident after reading such good reviews! I’m not sure if we had perhaps picked the wrong items off the menu or everyone leaving these reviews enjoys the taste of bland cheap food, but this does not add up. Every dish we ordered was delivered in the same thin watery pond water ‘sauce’. The veg with ginger was soggy and bland. The chicken, chilli and ‘sweet oyster sauce’ sounded incredible - it was a tub of over boiled chicken in a thin watery gravy alongside copious amounts of tinned pineapple. The noodles were fine but nothing better than a micro noodle dish from Asda. The spring rolls were actually great - wish the portion was more than 4! Usually when a place charges £4.50 for egg fried rice - they can deliver to a standard to justify doing so. This is not the case here. Maybe they’re better as a restaurant but delivery is a no no.

Got takeaway from here as the bar/restaurant ban came in last night and they switched to takeaway only. The food was incredibly tasty, with the veggie pad thai the highlight (just - it was a very close call). All of the food was excellent, from the spring rolls through the mains. Collected through the front windows to minimise interaction, I'd thoroughly recommend it over the coming weeks. The next best thing to eating in there

I visited this restaurant at 6.30 on Saturday night. Although they were very busy with the restaurant and takeaways we were seated and served quickly by a very friendly girl. our drinks arrived quickly with tap water. My starter of a generous portion of satay chicken was delicious as was my main, garlic pork with a side of noodles. My family have lived in the area for years but this was my first visit. It certainly won't be my last! Excellent value too.

Well sited just over the road from the Half Moon and less than 5 minute walk from Herne Hill station. Only open in the evenings but you can get in early from 6pm. Family run, well prepared and tasty stuff. We only found it because it is almost next door to an exceptionally good Oxfam charity bookshop.

Haven't been here for ages and had forgotten just how good it is. We were squeezed in at the last minute and only had the table for a short period, but the brilliant service meant we never felt rushed and finished in plenty of time to give the table back. The food was a good as I remembered it and the bill was a lot less than I expected. Great night. I will go back for a more leisurely meal soon.

I have never had a Thai meal before and was excited to be invited by my son for a meal out with my wife. We booked a table for 7:15pm for people. on arrival, we were ushered to our table but had to squeeze in a tight space to or table. The atmosphere was cosy with a faint music playing at the background not overpowering the conversation of dinners. However, the place was very noisy as one can overhear the conversations from dinners next to our table due to the closeness of the table in the restaurant. There ere about 16 table in the restaurant with very limited space which makes it not wheelchair friendly. Food was delicious and service was swift from very friendly waiters. Overall, it was a lovely company and well very much revisit the restaurant again.

Pedí la carne de miel, estaba bien, no hay nada de que quejarse y una porción muy generosa también, pero los curries eran las estrellas. En particular, me encantó el pollo al curry de la jungla: un caldo aromático y picante con una patada fuerte y picante, pero no agobiante.

Dined here on Friday evening and had a great meal. We booked and I recommend you do because they turned a lot of people away during the time we were there as they were fully booked. We tried the spicy chicken wings, Thai fishcakes, prawn jungle curry and honey chicken. I would recommend them all. The honey chicken wasn’t anything special, and was quite small but it was still tasty. Everything else would be highly recommended. Overall it’s great value for money too.

I’ve lived in Herne Hill for 35+ years and witnessed Lombok deteriorate under its previous management. Things have now changed under new ownership. The quality of the overall offering is obviously constrained by the price positioning and the premises, but setting this aside, it offers a good range of interesting freshly cooked Thai food in a comfortable setting. Service was excellent -the staff were more than happy to help with dish selection and comments on food combination. Nothing was too much trouble. Very good value for money - a much better dining experience fhan you often get in similarly priced Thai restaurants.

If you can't be bothered queuing in the cold outside Kaosarn on Friday night, head here for some good South London Thai, you will find a seat (even on Friday).Service was quick with no frills, price was about right for this sort of establishment.Pad Kee Mao contained both Seafood and Chicken, the squid was a little chewy and hard. Rest of the dish tasted excellent.Panang Curry tasted just right, however contained 3 small mushrooms which was puzzling as I've never had this ingredient in such a dish. Left these on the side.Recommended starter: Chicken Satay. They have Singha Beer.

Like lots of people in Herne Hill we've been sucked into the Brixton Village Market vibe. But last night we decided to go local and had food that was better than almost anything available in BVM. It's a lovely little restaurant, the staff were really friendly, food came at a good pace and, most importantly, it tasted delicious. £20/head for a starter, two mains, two rice and a vegetable side plus a bottle of fizzy water. Would recommend.

The first time I've been to Lombok I asked the waitress if they had vegan food and she offered me a Thai Green Curry with tofu. Great I thought and went back there just ten days later. Then I was told that actually the curry had milk in it and to top it off also had fish sauce in it. So not only wasn't it vegan but also not even vegetarian. As you can imagine, I was pretty angry. The waitress then offered me the "vegetarian" soup but after asking the right questions she told me that it was made with chicken stock. The soup is marked as vegetarian on the menu, although it is made with chicken. It is unbelievable how in this day and age a restaurant doesn't understand the concept of vegetarians and vegans. Turned out there was NOTHING on the menu I could eat. This was a few days ago and I am still angry that they served me food with fish and milk in it although I specifically explained to them that I don't eat anything from animals. If I could give zero points I would've done that!

We stumbled upon this place by using the TripAdvisor app's feature "Near Me". The restaurant looked full, which we thought was a good sign and we were not disappointed. They had my favorite wine on the wine list Gewürztraminer. The starters came very quickly and were gorgeous. My husband asked to spice up his Massaman curry and he said it was the best Thai meal he had for ages. I ordered a dish from their Chef Recommendation list. It was mixed sea food curry with dressed crab, prawns and mussels. It was delicious. The restaurant was full of local regulars, so it is not a place for a first date as deco is very plain. But if you need a casual meal with your friends or partner, don't look any further!

We are local to Lombok and try to support the business as it fell victim to the flooding a couple of years back and was out of action for over a year. It always used to be delicious food and the service was efficient. We go back quite a bit. We visited again last night after a terrible and frustrating attempt to go to The Lido Cafe in Brockwell Park as we thought it was such a lovely and warm evening. We had starters and curries and everything was of a good standard. I must admit though, that on a couple of occasions since the re-opening the phad-tai dish had a chicken meat which did not taste fresh at all. I refrain from having that dish since that time. The curries are excellent and I hope this feedback will encourage the restaurant to ensure the quality of their food meets the standard to which many local people became accustomed to.

We recently visited this restaurant for a Saturday evening meal. When booking we were told that we couldn't get a table at 9pm, but 9:15 was fine. On arrival there were only two tables of couples in the restaurant - not sure why 9pm was inconvenient. The food was tasty enough - the soups lacked fieriness. The crab main was overcooked and disappointing. And we felt rushed towards the end with waiting team repeatedly asking if we wanted anything else as the kitchen was closing. And why do some restaurants insist on giving bills with just the accumulative totals rather than being itemised. All in all, it was an okay meal but disappointing.

Its such a shame that this restaurant that looks so inviting in Herne Hill turns out to be such a disappointment. I've been here a few times over the years I've lived round here and live in hope that it will get better… I hope it does. It would be great to have a good quality SE Asian restaurant in the neighbourhood. So a small of group of us visited this weekend. My disappointment was around the following:-The waiting staff were cold and difficult to engage with. The lead waitress was down right rude.- We asked for more prawn crackers and felt scolded at this request and sternly told more prawn crackers cost more money.- When my rice came, it was clearly barely warm. When I told the waitress this, she put her hand on the rice and told me it was warm, looking like she now expected me to eat this. - I also had a Thai chicken stir fry. The menu clearly stated this would be with Thai basil leaves. Sadly this was obviously with Mediterranean basil. I asked the waiter about this. He simply disagreed and walked away. - The chicken had a processed taste and and texture to it. Perhaps I expect too much… in expecting fresh produce. We decided not to pay the service charge due to the above. I spoke to the waitress about this and had hoped to discuss this with her but she just walked off with the money. Rude!

The food was ok - nothing special but not bad. They used Italian basil instead of Thai basil (and denied it when we mentioned it to them). The worst thing was the service - the staff were really surly. I didn't see any of them smile at us, or any of the other customers, at all during the evening - which there's no excuse for. They could so easily up their game with minimal effort. But as it stands, I wouldn't go back here.

Went to this restaurant for the first time on Saturday 19.07.14. One poor waitress serving the whole restaurant (although only one third capacity filled). Although she tried her best, it took one full hour from first being seated to receiving our meal - we had to request a drink. Her useless, disinterested colleague (man wearing DIRTY JEANS AND TRAINERS) just stood around in the back watching her work. He occasionally left his lair to hand customers the card machine and spoke few words - not because he didn't speak English we discovered, but because he really couldn't be bothered. Unfortunately poor service overshadowed the food. Will not be going back.

We love the Lombok. Shame to see a few negative reviews. Recently we have taken to visiting early evening straight after work so perhaps a better experience as it isn't so busy. We have never had bad food or service and always surprised at how relatively inexpensive even when drinking Prosecco! The staff are very friendly and will happily chat about Thai food, the meaning of some of the Thai décor etc. The restaurant is small but the interior is lovely and we could happily sit there all evening. I can not recall anything bad to say about the food. It is delicious and seems authentic (we do eat at Thai restaurants quite a lot) Time for another visit. We'll be in there next week!

We ordered a quarter peking duck to start, which was far too dry and came with a watered down plum sauce. This was followed by a seafood curry, which was oily with seafood that had clearly been frozen. What propelled me into writing this review, was the terrible service that accompanied this very average meal. We were left with our dirty plates in front of us and ignored when we asked for the bill, even when we stood up the waitress continued to fold napkins, rather than taking our money for the meal.

We have been desperate to try this restaurant and finally had the chance. We were met at the door by an unhappy waiter, our order was taken by an even unhappier waitress and our meal was served without a smile. We felt guilty walking into the restaurant and asking for food. The starters were lovely but the main meal (we played "if you find a piece of chicken you win a prize" game) came with a fly in it. This ended our disastrous meal and I took the children home for more food. The manager of the restaurant was gracious enough not to charge us for the dish garnished with a fly and removed the service charge - we wouldn't have paid it anyway as we didn't receive any service. We will not be returning to Lombok.

Went here for my boyfriends birthday, there were 9 of us and we only booked on the day but it was no problem for them. I brought a cake I had made and they were happy to store it in their fridge until cake time (and gave me some candles as I had forgotten!). Food was delicious, I had the prawn Penang curry and am still dreaming about it now! We all ordered starters and mains, they all came in good time and the staff we really friendly.

Visited here for the first time. Lombok has a fusion of Thai, Burmese and Vietnamese cuisine on its menu. It all started very well. Good service. Great wine. The starters were excellent and really tasty - lovely chicken satay and pspicy peanut sauce and really terrific corn and ladyfinger cakes with the ubiquitous chilli dip.However, my main course was a real let down. I had chicken with chilli and hot basil leaves. It seemed to have been made with dried basil as opposed to fresh basil leaves. The sauce was very fishy and heavy on the dark soy sauce. Loads of onions and green beans padded out the contents of the plate along with the slightly chewy chicken and nice fresh chillies. The coconut rice was fine and tasty.The pudding menu was not at all exiciting and nothing tempted me. The starters and the wine saved the day.My wife had the scallops and said that although they were a bit bland/watery tasting (probably frozen), the sauce was really nice.I may go back some time and try a different main course.

I have visited this small family run restaurant several times now. The menu appears to be becoming increasingly pan-asian but the quality is consistently good and it represents excellent value for money. It always seems a good idea to book as it is usually packed...deservedly so. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I have only had takeaways from here but have always enjoyed the food. Whenever I go in the place is always busy, the Thai staff are very friendly, food is produced very quickly and the prices are pretty decent. The menu is quite extensive and offers dishes from beyond the borders of Thailand as well. Definitely recommended.

I went on Tuesday with a friend and the place was packed - always a sign that a restaurant is good if it is busy next week.The food was delicious, the menu was really varied but not overly long and it was very good value. (2 people have 2 courses for £40) I had an amazing spicy sea food curry and they thoughtfully gave me crackers to cope with the crab claws. My partner had a beef dish which was also excellent.I know is sounds silly but it was also such a treat to go to a Thai restaurant that didn't have a single waving lucky cat as part of the decor.

This is a good local restaurant. The service is friendly and attentive.The food is delicious and it is not over-priced. The pad thai is particularly good as are the beef panang and the duck curries(red and green) the soups are hot and spicy and the chicken satay and its accompanying peanut sauce is always a favourite.

Nice food and excellent value. Only down side was that waitress was a bit abrupt. Mayb because we arrived at 10pm.

It's a small, ambient space and the food is fresh, spicy and tasty - with some interesting, piquant sauces. It's a restaurant I like to go to regularly with friends as it's an atmosphere conducive to discussion and the prices are very low, so no one feels overwhelmed when the bill comes in.

With the only firework display in Lambeth being held in Brockwell Park this year, there was always going to be a pressure on the local bars and restaurants, so we booked early as we were a big group (10). The table was ready for us, and the place was as busy as expected. The wine list was very reasonable with Chablis and Sancerre at £19.99 each, house wine about £12. We had a huge variety of dishes and the menu had an extensive choice. The seafood curry including crab legs was a success as were all our starters. The one disappointment was the duck & pakchoi dish (main) which wasn't hot and between us there were 2 of these ordered - when we complained it was taken away and reheated (presumably in a microwave), but given we were all sharing dishes this wasn't really acceptable as we'd all put it back onto the orginal dish from our plates. Overall, if you live near here it's probably worth a visit.

It's definitely the best restaurant in Heren Hill and around. So if you live locally or visiting, it's really worth to go there. The food is very good and some dishes are different than in other Thai places I've been to. Stuff is nice and they serve the food quick even if it's quite busy. Nice design and atmosphere.

Cibo tailandese da gustare tra i vari stand del Borough market… Pad thai buono e abbondante con gamberoni, anche la porzione di riso large con carne e verdure è stata apprezzata, molto abbondante. Costo per questi due piatti: circa 26€

My boyfriend and I came here for supper last week after buying a voucher from wowcher- £19 for a 5 course carribean meal. Like some of the other reviews I've read- we almost missed the entrance as it isn't well lit nor even looks open from the outside. The restaurant itself is huge and we were only in there with about 4 other people. The food was fresh and tasty- I really enjoyed the jerk chicken starter as well as the sunshine fish which I had as my main. It was slightly disappointing that one of the starters and one of the mains were sold out as it made the menu slightly more limited. I would say worth a visit but if you're looking for atmosphere then this isn't the place for you.

Really nice food and service. Quantity was good too...would love to go there again. We had noodles and rice...both were quite good and freshly cooked
