Brixton Village Grill

Finally, 5 stars. Service: top. The guy with the beard. Spot on. Atmosphere: happy, fun, easy and jolly. Food: olives, steaks and sides are all worth the trip to Brixton from wherever you are. Drinks: the only weak part. A little limited on beers and wines. Most people around however seemed to enjoy their cocktails. 5 stars at last :-)

Really small place in Brixton Village but man is it worth a visit. Fantastic chicken, chilled beer. What more could you want? It can get busy but you can sit at the bar stools (where the tables are big wooden barrels) so considering grabbing a drink and waiting for a table - it's worth it. Reasonable prices, huge portions, and nice little bread selection too. Staff are quite friendly.

Food: The food menu isn't particularly exciting but the items on the menu I tried were done well. I ordered the char grilled chicken with chips. The chicken was nice and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside and the chips were surprisingly good. I'd definitely recommend asking for their speciality chilli sauce for the chicken but be prepared for some serious heat. Ambience: The standard Brixton Village affair; seating outside opposite all the other restaurants. Price: Not as cheap as many of the other eateries in the village, but worth splashing out if you want a Nandos+ experience. Service: The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Worth the visit: As above, it's worth going for the chicken.
