The best restaurants in Sydenham Lewisham London

Outstanding food and service, great choice of menu and the customer service could not be faulted. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a great evening out.

I have been here a few times. It’s a bit overpriced for what it is and where it is. The first two times i went i got the burrito, which was really nice. However it comes with a poached egg and i asked for a runny yolk and it wasn’t runny (no big deal). The third time i went i got the meatballs and pasta which was really poor. It was a few very cheap meatballs with some penne pasta and tomato based sauce. It was very similar to what i used to have at school at lunchtime, certainly not worth the £8.45. On one visit my friend got eggs royale (which should always come with runny yolks in the eggs). He asked for the yolks to be runny anyway just to clarify. When the food came the yolks were hard. He then queried this with the waitress who told him that next time he needed to request “extra runny yolks” which i thought was a bit cheeky to be honest. Overall i don’t think i’ll be going back. The staff are a bit odd and not very accommodating and the food is overpriced and nothing special.

Food was five star and the whole experience was amazing. If you like good food, a quirky environment you won't be disappointed.

Visité aquí el domingo pasado, la comida fue fantástica y el servicio fue excelente. La mejor comida africana que he tenido después de un tiempo. Gran experiencia.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing pastries and cakes. The dogs in daycare are just adorable and you can have a nice and relaxing break from work petting them. The place is nice and clean, full of colours and happiness

I’ve had two incredible lunches at Leo this week. The Gouda, cream cheese and burnt leek rosemary focaccia toastie was so good that I just had to go back. The next day I tried the scrambled eggs on toast. Wow! I had no idea that scrambled eggs could be so delicious and full of such interesting flavours. Leo is a happy, vibrant place to enjoy a relaxing, unhurried lunch and everyone working there was very friendly and welcoming.

So firstly I should say that I’ve ordered from this restaurant before and eat inside; however I (and my wife) noticed the difference with the food quality over a year ago and due to this being a pricey restaurant we couldn’t take any more risk. So fast forwarding to today we’ve decided to give them another go and man oh man it was DISAPPOINTING a total of £48.50 and i collected the food only to get home and there’s only 1 set of chopsticks and 2 sachets of soy sauce and the wasabi’s is so tiny but ok maybe the food will redeem all of that we thought… wrong 😑 WRONG … the food was disappointing in every way even the rice I got tasted old .. I wouldn’t recommend this place as it stands to anyone.. it’s costly and not worth it even if it was cheaper… too bad because I really use to enjoy eating from there.

Absolutely terrible experience. Was charged way over the odds for a pretty standard breakfast Friend had pie/mash which she found horrible. Bland and cold. Also on a visit to the toilet after eating I noticed loads of mice droppings in the toilet. God good I’d eaten before or I would have left straight away. Disgusting Won’t be visiting again

I only had a coffee but it was shockingly bad. It was INSTANT. I asked for a cappuccino and was give some awful brown slop in a foam cup (the foam cup made it taste even worse). If i left it for a few minutes it would develop a skin which i could pick up. This happened twice (see photo). In the end i threw the “coffee” down the sink and tried to forget about the whole thing. I didn’t have the food so i can’t comment on it but my friends got a couple of sandwiches and i didn’t hear any complaints. I just don’t understand why places think it’s okay in this day and age to serve such bad coffee. The only reason i gave it two starts was because the coffee was nice and hot.

Had yummy momos after a long. Such a lovely atmosphere.

Been here many times and have always had great dinners. I am vegetarian and there are plenty of delish things here.

Best authentic curry we’ve had. Absolutely recommend. Massive menu, real ingredients, fresh and not too expensive at all. Love it. The taste of Nepal 🫶🤌

Muy buena comida y personal. No tenía el asado vegetal en el menú, pero cambió esto por un buen lado. Servicio amable y servicio de mesa. Buena selección de bebidas. Solo perdiendo una estrella debido a que los baños estaban fuera de servicio y el de arriba estaba sucio y maloliente. En general, aunque una buena experiencia!

They cook the fish while you wait.

Good place and good coffee, however, I felt under pressure when paying my bill because it didn’t include a service charge, and the lady said if we wanted to contribute the final bill wouldn’t include the service charge. Not that they don’t deserve some extra money, but if they want the service charge to be paid, please include it in the final bill - instead of asking the customers. We felt embarrassed and contributed. Overall, the place is good.
