Not short of Thai restaurants either. Rosa's would be the fourth, I believe.

I've found Casa de Jack in Pope's road to have good prices.
Much less crowded than, for example, Nour
Plus, if you spend enough they give you a bottle of olive oil!

I like the Mediterranean Food Centre in Streatham Hill; it's 24 hours so handy for shopping after work.

Well I've just had cod and chips in there (hangover cure) and it was very good indeed. Batter made there and then. Chatted quite a bit with the owner, Gus - a very friendly man.
A big thumbs up from me!

Death to the £3.90 rocket and salami open top foccacia "sandwich". The £4.95 bacon and caramelised onion toast can fuck off too.
Pizza Experto have put up their takeaway prices. £2 for a 7" pizza with two toppings.
And the cafe next door does an americano for £1.30 which imho tastes better than Drip or F Fridays.

We had a three-way split at work. Boss said Acre Lane was way better. I'm ever so slightly veered toward Kennedys (though that might change) but a colleague reckoned Fish Lounge was better than Kennedys. Not a bad response really. It's definitely not shit.

Well, yes. If you're off Brixton Hill, it's perfect. I think they're going to do well - they're right by 2 bus stops.
I'll deffo try the Acre Lane one sometime.

I never seem to have fish and chips in London as I'm from Yorkshire and always been disappointed by F&C here. The place near my folks' house is spectacular (never cod, always haddock btw).Such a pleasant change to have something decent and actually affordable to normal people opening up. I'll have to check them out soon.
So small fish and small chips is £7.50, big fish and big chips is £9.80. Sounds like a fair amount of money to me - is that par for the course?
Haddock usually costs more though so good to see its the same price as the cod.

Price seems about right. Fish is costly. I agree: it has to be haddock.

the chips are top notch, great fish and chips! The owner/manager is very enthusiastic and appears a lovely chap - he doesn't trust his staff with much yet, he was dipping, frying, dishing up, S&V and then wrapping *and* taking the money. that is going to be some massive queue if he can't delegate eventually. He probably also goes out the back and peels and chips!

Gave Fish Lounge a go last week. As you say, the owner is really nice and enthusiastic, but sadly the food isn't as good in my opinion as Brixton's Rock in Acre Lane. Chips somewhat flabby, mushy peas way too vinegary and the fish was just OK. Price about a quid less in Fish Lounge for 2 people. I'll pay the extra.
In a way I'm relived as now I've got to make an effort to walk to Acre Lane if I want fish and chips!

I was feeling Northern the other day and ordered pie, chips and gravy. Instead of it being served in a tray with gravy on top, I got a bag of chips, a pie still in its wrapper and a container of gravy.

At the okan ramen place across from the barrier block. So far so good.

What's the prices like there? It never seems that busy when I've passed.

Expensive but in line with most of the new places. About a tenner for a main dish.
prices on their site
Okan Ramen and Soba
The food was tasty though. the karaage (fried chicken) was very tasty and juicy.
The noodles are... noodles. I had the shoyu ramen (pork and soy sauce)
for drinks I had the yuzu (citrus fruit) and sparkling water which was fine but pricey at 3.50 a glass.
I'll be back to try the soba but not too regularly as noodle are kinda samey after a while.

Japanese Craft Beer
Kagua rouge – 7.50
Kagua blanc – 7.50
To my surprise these are on Ratebeer.com [the white rated better than the red] - but if you have either (or both) would welcome your description and review.
I'm not likely to rush down there and pay £7.50 for a 330 mL bottle of beer, though given the abv is 8% for the white and 9% for the red it's not as though they're selling Fosters.

Not drinking at the mo and not a beer person so unfortunately no review.

I think we had a chat about Mexican/South American ugh "streetfood" in the Pop thread (so i won't even try to track through that monster) but finally had empanadas at El Rancho de Lala today and they were really good. Two fat ones, unlimited salsa and an Americano for £4.50. Proper stuff.
