Subway, Costa, Starfucks, Vera Cruz

 

[quimcunx]

Anywhere in Brixton Village.

that brick box gallett place if you like melted cheese.

Cafe Max - Station Road (Portuguese Cafe)
The Roti Caravan - Station Road (has a little sit down bit in it sometimes)
Fujiyama
The Albert - they do food all day till 9pm now. Cheap and cheerful

All of these come with the nipsla seal of approval. As does Quimmy's suggestion.

ETA - Quimmy's suggestion of San Marino. Not Brixton Village. I haven't really eaten in there at any point as I can only get there evenings/weekends and it's too busy. Might be better weekdays.

Bird still not making you lunch?

For some cheap and tasty North African food, go to the place at the beginning of Brixton Station Road opposite San Marinos. They do great soups, tagines, barbecued meats and koskos. The post-meal mint tea is guaranteed to hit the spot.

Electric Social food is good.

 

[quimcunx]

Where's electric social?

 

[TruXta]

Kao Sarn at BV main entrance. Open late all nights (10 I think). Be prepared for a wait.

 

[TruXta]

Where's electric social?

Opposite Tesco, the old Gold Coast.

 

[Badgers]

Where's Tesco?

 

[quimcunx]

oh,yeah.

You tried any of the places in Brixton Village yet? I def recommend Brick Box and Casa Morita, both well fit and cheap

That's the first time I've heard casa morita described as cheap. Consensus up til now seemed to be expensive if you actually wanted to be full when you left.

Wide selection to peruse here:

Kaosarn has a good reputation, but I've seen queues outside on a wet Wednesday evening

Done. And yes, it is pretty good.

Electric Social food is good.

Done (well, some nibbles after work at someone's leaving do).

Kao Sarn at BV main entrance. Open late all nights (10 I think). Be prepared for a wait.

Dinner, not tea.

I guess it depends on what dish you choose and how hungry you are. Either it's really tasty. Esp he chicken tostadas

I'm not recommending it as a dinner date destination - it's still pub grub after all - but the Albert food has vastly improved now. They're using loads more fresh produce and have chefs employed full time.

I'm not sure what time they stop serving food though, but it's later than before.

 

[TruXta]

Khamsa on Acre Lane is nice if you like North African food. Lots of merguez and tagine dishes.

Nope. It's on Brixton Station Rd in one of the arches opposite the rec.

Huh. Was in there on Saturday and looked at the menu board on the wall thinking that's way too cheap to be nice.

Never been to Brixton Village, seems a bit wanky.

Open your mind, onket!

The beer & burger works out at about 90p for the burger & chips. I think if you choose wine it's about 10p.

Bit far to be there & back to work within the hour anyway.
