Mes Amis Cafe in Lambeth

Absolutely awful 😣 chicken tasted and looked like it had been frozen for months The wrap contained only large slices of white onion and large slices of soggy tomatoes! No salad at all Chips full of grease….🤢

I went on a Friday night for a friend's special bday! She told me there is live music and dancing so I was quite excited. Now I should say that maybe the Saturday is better/different with the atmosphere as frankly there were zero vibes here except for what we were creating at our table. The staff are absolutely lovely though, so friendly and the food was pretty good/tasty. I had rump steak with the black beans... dessert was coconut cake - delish! So that's why it was a shame that there was no personality to the place, and the singer came on at 11pmish but he was barely audible, we didn't know he was singing until I went to the toilet. Singer lacked personality, or even a sense of emotion whilst singing songs like Mas Que Nada. Actually a bit of trivia here, I once interviewed the late great Sergio Mendes in Rio, and this guy was so full of energy and party vibes even at nearly 70! Anyway, my point is Portuguese people have such warmth and a zest for life (in my experience), this singer just looked bored. Was he having a bad day? Guess will never know. Perhaps it's worth checking out this place on a Saturday night instead. It might have a better atmosphere and music to enjoy - one of the friends mentioned she once went to Lusitania on a Saturday night and the music was good. The choice is yours. The restaurant is easy to get to whether by tube Nine Elms is closest or bus 196 from Vauxhall stn bus stop G and bus 196, stop M Landsdowne it's about 3 or 4 stops from vauxhall and less than 5 mins walk to the restaurant.

Comí aquí con mi pareja el viernes por la noche.Para empezar, tuve el yogur de berenjena, que venía con pan de molde y un poco de ensalada, encantador y refrescante.Para los platos principales tuve el cordero torsh, y mi compañero tenía las verduras asadas con arroz con azafrán, ambos excelentes.El postre era helado persa, que acaba de terminar la comida muy bien.Hay un variado menú de bebidas, muchos vodkas (un poco sorprendente para un restaurante persa). Y había una amplia selección de bebidas no alcohólicas, que no probamos en esta ocasión, pero lo haríamos en el futuro, sonaban muy bien.El servicio estaba bien, no me puedo quejar. Un montón de espacio entre las mesas, no nos sentimos agobiados.Sin duda volveremos, si estamos en la zona.

Very friendly with amazing food!

Heard they don’t pay their workers fairly. Witnessed their (very young looking) waiters running about like ants trying to run the restaurant. Food etc was nice, but this just didn’t sit right with me 🙃
