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.

My advice when you go chefs ask for the famous EARLY BIRD I have one for breakfast every morning, and only £8 , bacon sausage egg beans and hash brown 🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥

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.

Our waitress Pavi was amazing and catered for everything we needed. Very good value for money and great atmosphere

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

I have ordered from Sydenham Tandoori multiple times, and have never been disappointed. Staff are very friendly, there’s a great variety of veggie options and food is very flavoursome.

Booked their function room for a party. Amazing service and a really great private room.

love this fish shop and they deserve the name supreme! lovely crispy fish, plenty of fresh chips, crispy onion rings and plenty of them. Arrived still hot. The only fish shop I order from now. 10/10 and good value for the price

Was not impressed by this place. During my visit, it was clear that the staff were overwhelmed and/or under qualified. Multiple customers reminded staff to bring them the bill, I saw x2 tables cancel their food as it took too long. You may wonder how I saw all this... It took 15 minutes for my cup of tea to arrive and then another 30 minutes before the arrival of my english breakfast. My breakfast was ok, but my colleagues' breakfast was poor, and it had to be sent back as it was missing the eggs on the unbuttered English Muffins... Lots of potential, and the staff were friendly, but it needs a serious shake-up.
