Nandine in Southwark

The first time I came with friends and was blown away by the food! I knew my mum would love it as well so I took her tonight and once again Nandine did not disappoint! Rosie was the only waitress working tonight but still managed to give incredible service to a fully booked floor! 100% would recommend and will keep coming back! Thank you so much :)

Felt like two people were serving our table at once. The food was even better & really reasonably priced too

On my to do list. Could eat the pictures of the food!!!

Beautiful place beautiful food. Baklava one of the nicest sweet things i've ever eaten. The dumplings: delicious crispy perfect

Although the food was tasty, it wasn’t good value for money at all. We left the restaurant still hungry as all the dishes were tiny. Whatever the price of the dishes there is no excuse for not putting a proper amount of food on a plate!. You can dress up half a small courgette however you want but it’s still only half a courgette. Don’t visit this restaurant unless you e got a small stomach and a large wallet

Had a great meal here! We had the fries, the Kurdish dumplings and the cauliflower for starters and we loved them all! They have some options with vegan meat which is a nice touch. The chicken was very good, so were the dessert but the small plates were the real surprise. Will definitely come back to try more! The service was very friendly and knowledgeable.

It is no wonder that Nandine is in the London top 50 every year, this place is a marvel! Everyone I've recommended this place to has gotten back to me with blissful eyes and happy bellies. It is a beautiful representation of indigenous Kurdish culture and the creativity that is to be found therein.

Delicious - all of it. Really pleased by the freshness and quality. Service was friendly and prices were fair. Decor/vibes just lovely - we went at lunchtime on a Sunday. We’ll be back!

Incredible food, great portion for sharing. Only criticism is the restaurant was pretty warm. The best baklava I've ever tried 😍

Loved this restaurant, buzzy atmosphere, great service and the food was outstanding

"Excellent! Delicious food, great & friendly staff (thanks for the recommendation) and lovely venue. Can’t wait to go back

Yummy and fun little place. Staff are lovely and food is delicious. Lots of fun cocktails too! Went here for my birthday and they brought out a baklava with a candle which was very sweet of them.

Good food, but quite expensive for small portions. Lovely service though and cute little restaurant!

We went to Nadine for brunch to celebrate our son"s wedding. The food was absolutely delicious. We had all vegetarian dishes and the range of was great. Service was very attentive and the bride and groom even had a complimentary dessert.

I have been looking forward to eating here and it was well worth the wait. The food is delicious, packed full of layers of flavour with seasonings and spices that are subtle and potent in equal measure. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly without being intrusive. The atmosphere was buzzing with everyone clearly having a great time. We ordered a lot and enjoyed every single plate. What a refreshing surprise to end with a super reasonable bill for such high quality, spectacular, authentic food. I have already booked to return.

Delicious food, amazing flavours, fantastic service. One of the best dinners I've had in ages.

The most delicious Kurdish food in South London. Every visit has been a delight, I’ve brought family and different friends for birthdays and occasions and every dish on the menu brings fantastic flavour - you can tell the food is made with love!!

Probably one of the best meals I have ever had!! Such rich depth of flavour and interesting taste combinations made for a delicious meal. Every single dish was stunning, but special mention for the baclava dessert - wow!! Service was excellent. We even met the owner (who still works in the kitchen) and her husband who hosts. Try it, you won’t regret it.

My most favourite place on earth. The food is immaculate, full of flavour and so unique in its representation of Kurdish food! From the mocktails/cocktails, the service and the food quality - I would highly recommend! Favourite drinks: Cucumber Margarita and Sharezoor Rum Punch (presentation is beautiful). Favourite food: Dandok, Qibuli Rash, Lamb Shank Qozi and all the grills

Food was extremely tasty and lots of great vegetarian dishes, especially the courgette. All the staff were lovely

Beautiful, innovative food that’s also really healthy. The service was very good and the atmosphere was really nice - highly recommend!

Left the restaurant and immediately wanted to re-eat all the food was soo tasty! Mocktails are yum and well priced x

What a place, The food is so nice is out of this world. The staff are polite and prices are really reasonable. Definitely recommend this place.

amazing food run by amazing people! Love everything on the menu! A must try in the south east area! Could eat here everyday. Truly authentic and delicious Kurdish food!

I don’t often say this lightly, but some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. My personal highlights were the lula kebab and the aubergine. I can’t wait to come back.

We love Nandines. The food is sensational. Stunning flavours; plenty for veggies and vegans as well as meat-eaters. Love the decor and ambience. Staff super-friendly.

Delicious food, professional and friendly service, great atmosphere: I've once again loved going there.

The breakfast options were great. My friends really like the flavors. The price was also reasonable.

Very delicious meal at Nandine yesterday. The staff are lovely and attentive. My partner and I love sharing plates and the menu is perfect for that. Our highlight were the kubba, qibuli raash and lula kebab. Don’t hesitate, just go!

The food was absolutely delicious! We got 7 dishes and I honestly couldn’t fault any of them. Our favourites were the aubergine platter and rice dumplings.

Nandine, you are good. Very good. From the charming, chic interior to the sumptuous Kurdish cookery, this place delivers on all fronts. The sea bass was a top highlight but the lamb kebab stole the show. Keep up the fine work.

Excellent Kurdish food with good vegetarian options. Friendly staff helped to make a birthday celebration feel special.

One of the few remaining trusted staples of SE London. As more and more solid local spots continue to close post Covid, I really hope this one never goes anywhere. The menu is small but inventive and best experienced ordering a bunch of plates to share. This time we tried the cocktails too which were fun and just the right amount of potent. Nandine, keep doing you!

Been wanting to try this for a while. What a great place. Food was lovely - some dishes I've never seen before. Varied menu (I'm not vegetarian but loads of options for those who are) and no fuss about my nut allergy. Drinks menu equally interesting with Kurdish twist on some classics and reasonably priced wines. Staff were lovely too. Will definitely become a regular here!

Delicious varied food that catered to different tastes. Was a very good atmosphere with a full restaurant. Will definitely be eating here again

Friendly staff. Great tasting food. But pricey and portions are small. Great place if you can afford it.

The food blew my expectations away!

Incredible food, really fresh, tasty and beautiful. They have reinvented cauliflower for me! Absolutely top quality, and amazing twists on some classic cocktails. Service and decor was also outstanding. I can't believe I have cycled past this place so many times and not gone in. Definitely worth a stop.

This place is so so so delicious. Had dinner here with my partner and ordered 7 dishes, but probably could have done with 6. The fermented yoghurt in oil (can’t remember the name) was insane. The eggplant was some of the best I’ve ever had. Four thumbs up

Absolutely delicious Kurdish food, authentic and homely vibe and amazing staff!

INCREDIBLE food. Best cauliflower I’ve had in my life. Cons: a bit short on staff. Strong smoke from the kitchen at times.

Nothing special: wild pistachio oil was not existent. Small plates didn’t impress. Liked the seabass. I was looking forward to trying out Nandine but service was so poor, we couldn’t even try some dishes because they came at the same time as dessert. Asked for a second glass of wine that came 20 minutes later. Asked for bread urgently since fish bone got stuck, the bread came with the bill!

Delicious Kurdish food - we had the seven spice chicken, and it was a very big plate. We will definitely return

Lovely experience with really delicious unique food - everything we ate was brilliant. Really nice and cool ambiance. Reasonably priced.

Really really enjoyed dining at Nandine’s and it was a pleasure to see Kurdish food well enjoyed by many. The kuba tasted just like my mum’s 👌🏼the dolma had a nice take on it with added chilli and the gipa wasn’t as expected but appreciated its own take on this meal. The lamb shoulder ended up being too tough so the team replaced this with the star of the show - the kebab. The best kebab I’ve had in a long long time 👌🏼 The baklava and cucumber margarita was so good too. I really want to come back for the breakfast!

Visited saturday night for 1st time and absolutely loved it - food was authentic, super flavoursome and a huge choice available. Service was prompt and courteous, Nandine does all the basic stuff really well, final bill was very sensible too. Top marks, will definitely be returning

The most amazing food and incredible service. I was really looking forward to trying this place out and it did not disappoint. With many vegan and gluten free options it was so hard to choose. The aubergine platter was a favourite. The vibe inside was too good and not to mention the incredible helpful 2 waitresses running a full restaurant on their own! Definitely want to come back to try everything else on the yummy menu

Best Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had. The kubba and lulu kebabs..

Food is good, environment is pleasant, and staff is nice. However, I think food is overpriced and portions are often too small. If you are ok with spending 50 pounds for some small plates and drinks in Camberwell it is fine, but I am not.

I love Nandine on Camberwell Church street, they just seem to be doing everything right! Food is next level delicious, you can really tell they are very meticulous in the kitchen, and service and ambience are warm and welcoming. Such a pleasure to keep going back.

Atmosphere is super cool, customer set was good and food was delicious. We had lamb kebab, Bharat fries, shepherd salad and aubergine platers all was good and I liked the fact the the menu is Kurdish with modern twist.

Surely this is one of the best restaurants in London? Everything coming out of the kitchen was en-pointe regarding seasoning, balance, flavour, and execution. This extends to the bar pushing out original and imaginative cocktails, with attentive yet unobtrusive floor staff perfecting the experience. Yes, yes, yes!

Delicious food with interesting and bold flavour combinations. Loads of veggie and alcohol free options if that’s your thing. Simple decor and great service. Highly recommend.

We went for dinner here and absolutely loved everything! The staff were attentive but not so much that you felt rushed and the food was incredible, especially for vegans! Our favourite dishes were the aubergine platter and biryani, but everything we had was fantastic. Also the cucumber margarita was delicious! Can’t wait to return to try more things!

Little insider tip! Very tasty food and great ambience. But the service in particular stands out positively! Such friendly service and therefore the warm time - that was something very special for us.

Delicious! Looking forward to going back!!

We came here spontaneously for dinner and although the place was pretty busy our lovely server did her best to accommodate us (we were 2 people). You order a few small dishes pp which are meant to be shared from a wide selection of kurdish specialties. Everything we ordered arrived swiftly and was absolutely delicious. I especially recommend the aubergine platter and kurdish rice dumplings! So good!

Great good great service. Will definitely be back.

Palpina soup one of best I have ever tasted . As was Niskena below

5/5 for all. Amazing fresh flavours (that chicken shish, wow!) from an undervalued cuisine. Great place with super friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Worth travelling for and be early on the bookings!’

Fantastic Kurdish food on the menu at Nandine. There is a real depth to the selection which will surprise and delight you in equal measure, without breaking the bank. The Lula kebab came with a perfectly barbequed outer, and then mellow, spiced and deliciously tender insides. Honestly one of the finest lamb and mutton dishes I've had anywhere. The salads were full of flavour, with punches of pomegranate and spice. We demolished everything put in front of us and highly recommend you visit.

Wonderful food - beautifully presented and full of flavour, but didn’t feel too heavy. Was great to try things I’d not seen on other menus. The Tara Cauliflower was unreal. Friendly staff and good vibes. And a very reasonable bill!

I’ve been to Nandine many times and always enjoyed the food, but I had a super bad experience recently. I booked a late dinner at 9.15 and when we arrived they told us it would be be about a 15minute wait, half an hour goes by and we realise the table we are supposed to have paid their bill before we even arrived and have just been chatting. We had to ask them if they would mind asking them to leave considering it was now nearly 10pm and we were starving. If we hadn’t said anything I’m sure they would have left us standing there another half an hour. The meal was fine but then the bill came and it was much too high so we realised it was for a different table so we told them the mistake and they said they had lost our bill and so we had to go through everything we ordered again. Unbelievably this wasn’t the end… The next morning I wake up to a text saying we’d left without paying!! I was quite upset at a fourth issue and having to take time out of my day to sort this out. The manger was very nice and realised they gave our lower bill to another table and that’s what caused confusion. As an apology they promised me a £50 voucher by email. I never asked for anything, she just offered it to me. That was now 2 weeks ago and they haven’t sent it or responded to any of my messages asking where it is since….. why offer me the voucher? Very insulting

Amazing! In Camberwell which is home to so many great restaurants, Nandine is my favourite.

Giving this gem a solid A***** First time here for myself and what a treat, it really was delish food. Had a mix of lamb and chicken sheesh with chips, salad and all that delightfulness. There was a nice mix of choices, for food and drinks and you can see on other reviews for yourself! (sorry didn't take many as was well into the food and drinks) Camberwell is certainly an area to try and one of those hidden gems on the south side of the Thames. Denmark Hill train station isn't far which is a good connecting line and plenty of bus routes also. Even on a Monday night, it was busy, the staff were super friendly and we did have to wait a little bit longer than expected but they recognised that and were clear about it which I thought was nice overall. Will be coming back again I'm sure of it! LDT x

Nice setting, service was friendly but very slow. Food was fairly average given the price. The vegetarian dishes were nice but wouldn't get the meat ones again.

Small portions. And as the dishes are not ready at the same time there are frequent breaks during the dining experience

Really amazing experience ! The food is great with a lot of vegetarian options.

Incredible food and amazing service!

MUST TRY! Food is delish, only negative is the portion size .

Brilliant food, staff and atmosphere.

I recently dined at this restaurant, and it's intriguing to see a fresh take on Kurdish cuisine. While the innovative flavors captivated my palate, I found the portions surprisingly small for the high prices. The Qazwan Baklava stole the show, though – a must-try! The cozy ambiance adds to the experience, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Always really enjoy this restaurant. It’s clearly well tired and known for its delicious and varied evening menus. But the secret is the brunch menu, arguably the best breakfast / brunch in Camberwell.

Amazing family-run business, delicious food and lively atmosphere. The butternut squash dessert was my absolute favourite, turning a vegetable into a sweet treat? Genius! Waiting patiently for the cookbook

oh my gosh!! delicious and homely honest kurdish food! bring a date, family and friends for food thats unique in the area and in london altogether!

I went here as a change from the normal Turkish restaurant I use. The reviews were good and I was interested. I was looking forward to the grilled sea bass ( no longer on the menu) so I ordered a chicken kebab, my friend had the lamb one,we shared a bowl of fries and had the cheapest glass of wine each. At the end we asked to split the bill and my half was an eye watering £35! The food was okay but I cannot say in any way it was worth the price.

Delicious food. I really liked the design of this restaurant and it had a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were attentive and polite.

An excellent Kurdish food restaurant in Camberwell. We had the 7 spice chicken and fries. Both really delicious. The fried are tossed in a beharat spice blend and topped with tamarind sauce, yogurt, mint and pomegranate seeds.

overall: great value. good food. perfect for chill weekday dinners. mezze dip 🫓: loving all the dips, but the red one really steal the show. just wished they could’ve served it with a bit more bread lula kebab 🐑: beautiful cooked & spiced meat, juicy & succulent inside, charred outside. love the refreshing sauce & veggies that comes with it, cutting through the oiliness of the meats

We've come back here over 5 times. Food is incredible, atmosphere is great and is a reasonable price. The cocktails are delicious!

Delicious slow-cooked food, friendly service, great atmosphere

One of the best meals I’ve had for a very long time!! Incredibly good food, great atmosphere and excellent service. The cabbage dolma tasted exactly like how my mum makes it! It was my favourite! The Kurdish dumplings (meat) were excellent, very crispy on the outside. The sea bass was probably one of the best fish I’ve ever had. The dessert was delicious too. Thank you! Can’t wait to come back again

Absolutely delightful waiting staff. Lovely food and ambiance. Such a great spot in Camberwell.

My group was turned away despite email confirmation of the booking and a visible free table. Half-hearted apology, no attempt to remedy the situation.

This is our favourite Kurdish restaurant, we are excited to see Nandine grow and expand. The food is just amazing, so many old traditional dishes cooked in such a creative and unique way with new flavours. The staff are always very friendly.

Easily one of our favourites. Great selection of dishes, cocktails, and the baklava is unmatched. 100% worth a visit

Yuuuuuuuuuummmmmm!! Seriously good food, lots of flavours and a really sweet atmosphere. The yoghurt / buckwheat was a real winner. Could drink a bowl of whatever the sauce was that came with the dumplings

Absolutely loved the food here, delicious flavours and combinations. Highlights were mutton with fruity rice, fried courgettes, dumplings and an aubergine platter. Cocktails were super too, with a middle eastern twist. We waited a while for drinks but the food came really quickly.

I traveled all the way from Hertfordshire to try this place. I loved everything about this place, amazing food, kind and attentive staff, warm atmosphere. We had 7-8 different starters and a main dish to share between two of us, especially I loved Kurdish dumblings, smoked aubergine, dolmas, pickle and Lula Kebab which was soft and tender, melting in the mouth. I will definitely come back again and recommend to everyone.

If I could give 6 stars, then this would be the place! We were greeted by the friendliest staff, and what happened afterwards was quite simply a culinary delight! I cannot wait to revisit 😋

This food is absolutely amazing! All of it. The atmosphere is cozy, the decor is tasteful and the service friendly and efficient. I would give 6 stars if I could

An absolute must in London! Authentic! Delicious! Good value! (Also, shout out to the staff for helping us find the right bus stop to get home ☺️)

Just absolutely stunning. We came in for a pre-theater dinner on a Tuesday and had an absolutely lovely dinner all around. Every single dish we got was a 100/10. The service was top notch. After hearing we were on our honeymoon, staff offered us a free baklava plate and mint tea which was more than kind. They also helped us find our way to the theater and help us make the bus right on time. Definitely the best we have been to in London so far!

Excellent service and delicious food, very good value for money too. Delicious!

My favourite restaurant in Camberwell. Been here a few times and never left disappointed. All food tastes great, with fantastic flavours. Perfect for groups as it has plenty of options to share. Would absolutely recommend the kibbeh, absolutely the best I had in London!

Been coming here for a few years and it always hits the spot. Delicious food with great vegetarian and vegan options, and the drinks menu has fun non-alcoholic options too. Lovely ambience and service.

We finally made it to Nandine and what an experience. From the front of house staff and Pary (owner), to the food and desserts everything was 10/10. Huge congratulations to Pary for her ongoing success, for her wonderful hospitality and to showcase a true Kurdish dining experience. Gelek spas ♥️

We came here tonight for a friends birthday and it was just fabulous. The staff were so friendly, their recommendations were great, service speedy and the food sublime. Particularly delicious vegan options. The cauliflower and the aubergine mezze platter were my favourites! Thank you for having us! Extra thanks to the staff who picked up on that it was my friends birthday without any of us even saying anything and bringing out a little sweet treat and candle - so thoughtful, thank you! Will be back!

직원분들 친절하시고 가게 분위기도 좋아요! 음식도 다 맛있어요. ㅎㅎ

Delicious food. First time trying kurdish food and it didn't disappoint. There was aubergine tapsi and rice dishes and mutton. I would definitely go again and recommend it.
