Maloko in Southwark

An interesting "take-away-but-not-too-far" concept. An artsy restaurant where the bathroom is, hands down, the real masterpiece (honestly, if I ever get IBS, that's where I'd want to be stuck). We ordered a tasty bowl filled with a random assortment of ingredients plus salmon, served in a premium disposable container (guess the dishwasher was feeling lazy that night). The music was fantastic, featuring a polyrhythmic experience complete with unexpected short tacets, occasionally turning into full-on silences. The waiter was friendly and welcoming, so much so that he even let us in on the secret menu items. The downside? Peroni Nastro Azzurro.

Bad vibes, walked in was ignored, walked out. Menu looked amazing, but didn't get to try anything.

Very relaxed environment full of succulents, chill music, and interesting artwork. It's all cheap vegetarian and vegan food, with plenty of gluten free options and good service by the chef. We love it! Only downside is that a ramp for the entrance is not installed when it very easily could be as it isn't a huge step.

Only order food from the American Jamaican guy with the beautiful locs, this guy can cook the new guy needs basic cooking lessons.

Food is really amazing and 100% gluten free!

Some of the blandest food I have ever eaten, I actually had to check if the jerk aubergine was even in the galette I ordered. This was also meant to have cheese in, but if there was any in there I wasn’t aware of it. Staff were inattentive and rude. The decor was nice enough but unfortunately I don’t go to restaurants to look at the walls.

I love Maloko! Great food at a great price. Most beautiful little colourful spot

I had such an amazing experience here! The food and cocktails were so tasty and affordable

Love it, best vegan food I've ever had.

Damn, I’m speechless this place was so good bro 🥹😭

Maloko were kind enough to host a birthday lunch for my 2 year old. The space was perfect for it. The chef was really accommodating and the food was fantastic! They were so patient with us, especially given the lack of notice I gave them. I’ve eaten at Maloko several times over the last few years and the food is always delicious. Everything is cooked fresh so it’s not a place to go to if you want to eat in a hurry, but the warm atmosphere and quality of food is worth the wait.

Nice and picturesque place. Delicious food, there are books to read for a while, natural juices and healthy food, thank!!

Dirty place, will not go back there

Such a brilliant cafe, with tasty galettes (lots of vegan options) and incredible juices. We loved the artwork on the walls. Highly recommend!

Just love everything about this place. Especially love coming here when it's dull & grey outside as it has a feeling of sunshine. My favourite place in the neighbourhood. Wholesome food & smoothies served with a smile.

Delicious, healthy, freshly made food - seasoned to the gods! Lovely atmosphere, always good music and chill vibe, service is great too :) love coming here

SOUL FOOD X Very homely atmosphere, The chef was very polite and explained everything really well. We ordered two homemade juices (absolutely delish) and two galettes. The food was delicious and made with love. We will definitely be back ! Also , great price xx

Lovely in there and great fresh teas

Authentic, local business, full of beautiful character, a bit of an oasis in the neighborhood, and the maybe only place in Camberwell where you can drink a cup of tea later in the day outside where everywhere else only sells alcohol Service needs to improve though, currently I feel it takes way too long, getting orders wrong, and doesn't speak much English.

연어 들어간 메뉴 맛있어요. ㅎㅎ 여러 명이 동시에 주문하면 시간이 좀 걸리고, 안에서 먹으면 옷에 냄새 배는 게 좀 아쉬운 점이에요. ㅎㅎ

Food was amazing and the staff were really warm and welcoming. Loved the selection juices and gallettes, can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. Really good prices too!

I don't normally write reviews but for Maloko I just have to. We have lived in Camberwell for 5 yrs and walked past countless times, always threatening to go in. Im so pleased we eventually did because this place is soooo god damn good. The guy that runs it is so friendly and makes every part of your lunch by hand The food is out of this world and so tasty and pretty cheap for what you get. I can't recommend it highly enough and when I see it quiet I just know people are missing out! So if you're like me and walk past a bit perplexed about what the place is, just go in as you will not regret it.

Cheap, filling, healthy and tasty. Will be back

great galette, amazing juice and super cute café in general- we loved it! the food was really healthy and tasty and it was a huge portion- we can only recommend :)

10/10 vegan food and wine. Lovely service and atmosphere. Had the vegan curry goat galletes. Piff!

The food was surprisingly great, especially on my first encounter was only with the chef,who took my order,and helped me to decode the menu.i ended taking a recommendation.due to the subdued lighting ,which gave the restaurant a chilaxed environment, unfortunately interrupted by the loud music coming out of the kitchen,Looking on the bright side it made the chef real happy playing music from Niger Alongside the food which I was told is like comparison to a jazz fusion of music,highly influenced by Persian take of a wrap,from experienced resembled the Ethiopian flat bread I had.i found the wrap quite spicy ,but not to the point that it takes your head off...The food could be a tad bit hotter.. I had the freshest/ strongest combination of mint ,and ginger tea,Which I'm quite confident was from their own garden...most fresh ,and powerful... Now for the conclusion would I return back for the avocado combo dish,maybe ...hopefully this time I will be greeted by the waitress at the beginning,and not when I wanted the bill...I found the waitress to be the most bubbly person,but could not ascertain how I slipped through without her noticing me...Maybe I came as the invisable man, or she was too busy chilling with who I found out later to be the owner...who pleasantly thanked me for coming.. Final conclusion the way I noticed the mild traffic of people coming in,felt like a community spirited hang out spot,whereby this place was compassionate enough to allow people to chilax, irrespective of the loud music,it didn't seem to bother the rest of the patrons.I guess their used to it...

A really nice local resturant, friendly staff. We found this by accident (advantages accident!). Food was was tailored to our requirements. Bottle of good wine very reasonably priced.

Cozy restaurant. I like the atmosphere and the great selection of music. The food and drinks are very healthy. I was there on Sunday night and it was not crowded. I had the Maloko Special and a fresh juice (not sure which one because I told the waiter to choose for me), both were delicious. The portion was big so I didn't finish it. The price is also good 8£ crepes and 4£ for juice.

Immaculate place. Beautiful food, awesome vibes and the owner was so welcoming. 100% will be going back and can't wait to bring all my friends and family! Can't believe I've lived in Brixton for a year and not been yet! Can't recommend this enough. Had the jerk goat and a refresher juice - inject it into my veins, beautiful!

Great little cafe. African French fusion food. Everything is so tasty. And amazing fresh juice at £4 each! Would defo come back again!

People of London I urge you to try this amazing restaurant if you want to feel at home and have food made with so much love it gives you butterflies! We had some amazing vegan and vegetarian galettes and crepes for dessert everything was delicious and the owner that cooked for us was so cheerful and accommodating. From the starters/mains/desserts and drinks everything was 1000/100 brilliant and if I could dine there every day I would. Not only was the food delicious, vegan and the atmosphere was amazing but the message they try to achieve being zero waste with second hand furniture and growing their own fruit and vegetable made it the perfect restaurant for me!

Great coffee, lovely colourful friendly space.

Came here yesterday. Lovely cafe with some funky furniture and edgy style. Food and service was great and the prices were very reasonable. Loved the cute lamps and that I could grab a book from the little library and relax. Definitely recommend and we will be back 😁

Loved the repair juice and the salmon wrap. Will definitely be coming back!

My new favourite local cafe. Lovely people. Great atmosphere - I went for an afternoon hot chocolate and stayed for dinner. Delicious galettes!

Here with my daughter for space to catch up and chill. Great place, great vibe, lovely food. Strong ginger tea.

I’ve been to this place every single month for the last 2 years, and I don’t plan on stopping that any time soon! lovely service by the guys that run the place, and some of the most delicious galettes I’ve ever had. Fresh ingredients every time and everything prepared with care. Plus the decoration is so creative, they even have a little Louvre in the bathroom. Highly recommend their juices as well :)

One of my favorite places to get work done in Camberwell. It's peaceful, the staff was so pleasant, and the food and drink are great. Everything is made to order, so expect a bit of a wait of its busy.

Great atmosphere in place. Staff is very friendly and welcoming ! Products are genuine and fresh, couldn’t recommend more !!!

Nice vibe, good staff and even nicer food. Waiting time is on the longer side so don’t be on a hurry when here.

Good menu and food. Comfortable and friendly

The place doesn't offer a breakfast service anymore. Yesterday (Saturday 10/12/22) I saw someone inside at 11am but the sign said closed. Went back at 12:45 and they were still closed

Best cafe in camberwell. Great teas and smoothies. The crepe are delicious. The vibe is super chilled and welcoming

Don't come here in a rush, but otherwise fantastic place. The asparagus galette I got was delicious and very filling. The place is comfortable and relaxed, and folks there were friendly. Loved it!

Yummy galettes, great music, lovely staff, delicious juices, definitely not fast food!

I LOVE this place. The vibes are so good! I recommend going here if you are feeling a bit blue and need cheering up! I didn't eat anything but the coffee was great and what other people were eating looked lovely. The staff are very happy, chilled and friendly and the music and art make this place a cut above the rest. Oh and they have actually comfortable seats/ sofas if you want to curl up with a good book for a few hours. I will definitely come back next time I am in London. Thanks for the great vibes!

Loved the vibe & the food! Underrated!

Great lads. Very welcoming and friendly service. Good for beers

I loved maloko for it's wonderful crepes

First of all, I love the art on the walls. I had the jerk galette. The flavors were perfectly balanced. The outside was nutty. The inside was filled with delicious vegetables and just enough sauce. Beautiful presentation too. The ginger tea was intense, but warming in the cold weather. Kwame, the person serving and preparing the food, was a delight to chat with. I wish I lived in London so I could go back more often!

Great vibe and tasty crepes! Green smoothie tasted great too! Highly recommend

Everything is fine okay great brilliant awesome good nice amazing wonderful fantastic the best so happy

Maloko is not just your usual dining experience, it is a vibe, a moment of solitude between you and natures flavours. In each crepe parcel is a moment of magic, simple ingredients with perfect spicing that slows down seconds into minutes. The smoothies are generous and indulgent, and their coffees are a joy. A slice of life for many Camberwellians, this is a community spot where everyone feels at home. Perfect for vegans, vegetarians, gluten and nut allergies.

This place has a great vibe that starts instantly with the barmaid welcoming us with a friendly smile. The atmosphere is relaxed with a nice background music. The food and the juices are fresh and naturally delicious. It was worth waiting for it, we could tell that the food was made with love.

Waiter is trying to get women’s numbers and message them at night. Unbelievable. Respect people’s right to be in peace.

Amazing vegan food and lovely atmosphere.

Fresh, tasty and healthy with consistently friendly service. A tasty place to eat out. Probably been here around ten times now. Recommend the spicy hot chocolate.

I been here before and I work here

What a hidden gem! Delicious fresh food cooked by a lovely team. Highly recommend

Nice place for a quiet lunch good food 😋 with variety. Good customer friendly service 👍.

Absolutely charming cafe with a soothing aesthetic and atmosphere. The refresher juice literally does what is says. Plus, the man who whips up the food and drinks is a stunner. My new favorite spot to read, drink, and relax in Camberwell.

Had a juice and a l'Anglaise crepe and both were incredible. So affordable and great atmosphere. Couldn't recommend enough!

Delicious, healthy, quick! Will be back soon 😁

Fabulous pancakes. Strange tableware and great, upbeat decor. Staff are super lovely - friendly. Seems to be just 1 guy doing waiting, cooking and bill, so service isn't the fastest. But it's good to be able to relax and look around while there. The chilli is very hot BTW.

Lovely little find, great atmosphere and really nice food

Excellent food at a relaxed Camberwell spot. The staff was lovely, the food delicious, and the glass of wine very generous. If you're looking for tasty, vegan/vegetarian, Carribbean-inspired food, this is your place.

Had a really lovely time at Maloko. The service firstly is absolutely fantastic. And the atmosphere is really lovely. Felt relaxed from walking in the door. We ordered the Farinata to start and then the Vegan Route and Carribbean Twist. The food was beautifully presented. The starter was okay, could have been a bit more tasty, but the main course and dessert were delicious. Also the portions are really generous and it is such good value. Loved it. Will come back again.

Excellent service, plus good food presentation.

Lovely little place, quirky, colourful, friendly and chill. We sat outside after lounging inside for a bit, it's a busy road but it didn't bother us. Delicious crepe, although I'd opt for flour next time. Enjoy!!

Great food and smoothies, friendly service, really lovely atmosphere. Everything is made fresh so it's delicious- but make sure you leave good time :)

Food is affordable and really tasty, I really want to come back, recommend for a good variety of vegan options as well

So ein unglaubliches Essen aus einem kleinen, bescheidenen Restaurant! Ich bin immer an diesem Restaurant vorbeigegangen, sogar als Kind vor 20 Jahren, und habe mir nie zu viel dabei gedacht - aber das bereue ich! Ich kann nicht beschreiben, wie wirklich lecker und sättigend das Essen in Loving Hut ist, es ist kein Wunder, dass sie schon so lange dort sind, wo sie sind. Mit dem frischen, leckeren und köstlichen Essen von Loving Hut können Sie selbst die härtesten Fleischesser hier leicht täuschen. Das Essen kommt super schnell und ist so günstig für die Portionsgröße, die man bekommt. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Friendly chef who runs the restaurant, great food and great juices.

Such tasty, healthy and fresh food....always served with a big (socially diatanced) smile 😃

When the server's extremely welcoming attitude makes you feel that he owns the place even if he doesn't... then you know you are in good hands. 👍

Nice little cafe. And staff are really friendly and provides us with good service. Like the decor. The hot chocolate and the crepe ordered weren’t the best unfortunately. The banoffee crepe has crunch apple piece in it. Think it would taste better if the texture was matched with the pancake and banana.

Really nice stuff and very helpful. Definitely go back!

Amazing cafe, awesome food, very friendly staff, great decoration and very good music taste! Recommend 100%

Love, love, love this bright, colourful, comfy cafe. The crepes are delicious, great music and the owner is so friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit!! ♥️

Stopped by Sunday evening. Friendly service & tasty food!

Food: amazing. Delicious and healthy and interesting. Service: very friendly. Allow time as everything is made to order. Atmosphere: delightful.

Service was oddly slow and reluctant. Coffee was bad, food not great, wrong orders brought/forgotten

Delicious vegetarian and vegan food. Healthy galettes and not quite so healthy dessert crepes! Freshly made juice, spicy hot chocolate. All made with love. Great value. Idiosyncratic little place with mismatch furniture and cheerful music blaring from the kitchen, bright murals decorate the walls. Friendly, laid back staff. One set of table and chairs outside.

hygiene - dubious customer service - non existent. rude, slow, uncaring food - okay not great VfM Overall: not going back! I would avoid. plenty of nice places in the area. Maloko: get your act together!

Among the worst customer service ever received. I went yesterday with some friends for a quick lunch. Highlights: 1. We had to wait 15 minutes to order and 55 minutes for food; 2. Two of us got served and the third in the group had to wait 15 additional minutes (so she got served when we had finished our food!) 3. I tried to have one ingredient removed from my order, and I was told that was impossible. I am not really sure how not adding spinach to a galette stuffing is impossible, but hey. 4. We asked for the bill and had to wait additional 5 minutes (by this time the place was empty and we could hear staff happily chatting away in the kitchen). When I got up and ask to pay, I was looked down at like I had thrown a dead parrot on the floor. 5. I asked to pay by card (the card machine was clearly visible on the counter) but (once again) treating like a pariah. 6. We tried to use the South London Card but told (guess in what tone?!) that that was never something they accepted it. Funny, cause the South London Card website begs to differ... 7. While we were there, at least 3 people left cause they got tired of waiting The food was nice, but more than 2 hours for a quick bite, horribly rude service, I will never go back in that place, not even if dragged in kicking and screaming!

Food is really good and price is reasonable. Just get ready to wait as there is only one person working I guess.

One of the best spots in the local area. Awesome menu, delicious food and juices, lovely atmosphere, great service. A stalwart of Camberwell

Lovely little cafe with good food and drinks! So happy to stumble into this place and I think I have plant envy!

Lovely little spot with lots of character and scrumptious food. Really loved the yoga shake and banoffee crepes.

Muy rica comuda y buen hambiente

The two men who served me made the food with smiles and were really polite and considerate of their surroundings. The food tasted amazing, worth the 15 minute wait for sure.

Great food and smiley happy people running this place! Highly recommend trying their vegan/veg galettes and crepes. Home made ginger teas are strong too!

Dismal experience. Urge you to avoid this place. The crepes suzette was dry and tasteless with no sauce. It had lemon not orange on it. When I politely explained that it wasn't crepes suzette I was ordered into the kitchen and aggressively shouted at by the chef, demanding that I leave before he “did something he regretted”. I then heard him shouting at other customers asking if they were unhappy as we swiftly made our way. I've read other reviews reporting confrontation too. Steer clear.

Wonderful bohemian vibe - great brittany style buckwheat crepes at a good price

Delicious vegan gallette (crepe) with wonderful filling of jerk tofu, sweet potato, spinach and mushroom. Fresh juices. Fantastic and relaxed vibe.

Omg the food was delicious and it was vegan I was totally surprised the place is real cosy and there is a beautiful atmosphere and the owner is a lovely guy who works hard freshly preparing and cooking and serving the food

Excellent (huge!) savoury and sweet pancakes, with a range of vegetarian and vegan fillings

Nourishing food, beautiful decor, great staff - vibes and music! Black owned establishment !

Coffee wasnt the best but the place and atmosphere are worth it, like being in someone's living room

Crepe admittedly was tasty but the customer experience was woefully bad! In desperate need of customer service skills and training! Somewhat concerned about the hygiene standards being applied, both money and raw food are treated with the same hands! I won’t be going back which is sad as I would sincerely like to support this independent and quite unique enterprise especially as it’s on my doorstep!
