Life is a horizontal fall.
Highly recommend it. Even came with some free mint sweets.
Oh and it has several meat options.

I think the security guard might be doing so, as the double parking seems to have moved across the road now to the area outside of New Tings.

There was quite a crowd outside there when I passed recently. Not good.

Life slowly returns. Possibly. The Brixton Courtyard set to reopen from 12th April with Craig Charles, Crazy P and Horse Meat Disco

Lets hope after 21st June the places the Jamm go back to what they were before, rather than the current setup which sounds shit.

It's not my bag either but these venues have got to do something to pay the bills!

Im glad they managed to take some money over the last year, and well done to them for having the foresight to get it all in place. Once restrictions are lifted I'd much rather it reverts back to its more 'underground' club format that has worked so well before. The setup of it all as the 'Brixton Courtyard' reminds me of POP Brixton aiming for the bottomless brunch crowd.
Still rather intrigued on their plans for the 414, which we know not a huge amount thus far.

I went past last week and saw that both floors were being stripped out. I think they'll do a pretty good job if they stick to their original plans*.
*disclaimer: I have had some say in those!

Im not sure if its been mentioned before, but big thumbs up to "Beb's Kitchen" on Acre Lane. Top quality curry with not even so much as a drop of grease visible. Handed over by a friendly, softly spoken man, with a handwritten thank you for the custom note on the takeaway bag. Will go in there after lockdown where you are permitted to BYOB.

Had a delivery from Sureh this week (based on this recommendation) and was fantastic, I got the 18£ bundle that was enough for 3 generous portions. Highly suggest you give it a go!Can highly recommend a new food delivery service based in Brixton - every meal you buy provides a free one for someone in need.
Cook to Care has been providing 1,000 free meals a week to those in need in Lambeth and beyond since March 2020. Jojo, the founder (a woman with more energy than British Gas) has just started this new service every Tuesday. I'm just lying on the sofa in a food coma, having tried it out. Delicious, fresh cooked, flavourful, healthy, vegetarian/vegan food, delivered to you door by bicycle. I ordered a meal bundle for £10 and £3.50 delivery - excellent sized portions, plenty for 2 people. I meant to take a photo but it food didn't hang around for long!
If you're fed up with cooking and fancy a night off, do give it a try - you can stuff your face and know you're helping someone out.

Seconded. Now our go-to curry place. Lovely couple running it who have been in Dubai for the last few years I think.

Thank you so much for ordering, and I'm so happy that you liked the food. It's great value and you can stuff your face knowing it's providing a meal for someone without

I'm definitely going to try Beb's Kitchen - maybe on Friday to celebrate hendo getting his vaccine!
Can anyone recommend a good takeaway/delivery sushi place locally? I'm craving raw fish after six months without it.... gaijingirl Winot

Sorry no ideas. Not sure I’ve had sushi in Brixton since the days of the long-departed Ichiban Sushi.

There's not a good choice locally unfortunately (there is Ramen and other Japanese foods) but I get deliveries from a place called The Umi which is in Balham. Or I just make it at home.
I hadn't realised Ichiban has gone Winot. That's really sad. We went there for my "wedding eve" meal with my "maid of honour " who lived in the same tiny village as me in Japan and the best man etc. When I first came back from Japan and was desperately homesick I'd go there for a bowl of udon and cry into it.

Yes, a great loss.
There's this place in Brixton Road - SW9 Sushi Bar - SW9 Sushi Bar
Only been there a couple of times but not recently - it's a bit too far for my lunchtime walk. But I think there is, or was, a connection with Ichiban, as the original sushi chef had previously, a long time ago, worked at Ichiban. Possibly.

Yes. I was trying to remember the name of this place. You're right about the connection. I don't know about now but when it first opened it had an identical menu.

I'll have a look at The Umi. Thanks.

At least 5 years ago
I was relying on you to have tried Tsunami in Clapham.
I have, but about 15 years ago. It was a bit fur cost no knickers. Should give it another go really but tend to get my sushi near work (Mugen in Leather Lane), at least pre-pandemic.

Ichiban’s website is still there. But they never answer the phone.

Ah OK maybe I’ve got it wrong. The Instagram site has a post suggesting they are open, or at least reopen from 14 March.
I think we went through a stage of calling to book and they never answered and never seemed to be open so assumed they had closed.

they were open last summer but somewhat erratic, they were doing some sort of internal building work on the first floor a couple of weeks ago - they own the building

A spot of internet research tells me that there is a sushi pop-up operating out of Ichiban called Kurisu Omakase. They appear to be only on Instagram and from 14th March are doing takeway. Limited boxes, 4 menu items.
The name suggests it's run by someone called Chris. Omakase is just a bit like "chef's selection/choice".

Chris is the son of the lady (sorry can't remember her name) who owns Ichiban
