Erm…cute looking place but terrible food! My friends and I were really looking forward to our brunch but were overwhelmingly disappointed with the food (both portion and quality) considering the prices. Although the prices aren’t high for London, you can certainly get better value for money anywhere else. I wish I was joking.The fact the tacos are listed as a main is SHOCKING! We were so hungry and to be served with that poor excuse of a plate was very disappointing - safe to say, we headed to a proper restaurant as soon as we left. The burger was below par and the hash browns were cold in the middle - so clearly not freshly cooked or properly reheated.The only reason I’m giving two stars instead of one, was because of the incredibly friendly and charismatic waiter who took his time with us to make us feel welcome. He mentioned he was new but it certainly didn’t come across that way, because he seemed confident in his serving and genuinely made the experience much better than it was. As for the other two waitresses who were working that day….if it was possible to give 0 stars, they’d both receive that or less. I believe one was the manager? Shockingly appalling service on her part…please please please avoid. The place might look pretty on socials - kudos to whoever does their social media marketing - but it’s really not worth it!

Acoustics bad.Pushy waitress.Great food.Our bill came to £80 unpaid once our table of 12 had all paid separately. Whilst we were sorting it out, the waitress came to me and my friend who were gusts at the table, assumed we didn’t want to pay the service charge and seemed to have a speech prepared about how staff need to be paid. We were the ones that had reminded everyone to pay the service charge, having factored it in, divided it between everyone and added it to our payments. Turns out they had over charged us for a bottle of wine. Our table decided to split the rest, and the same waitress then pressured me to pay for It first in a way I didn’t appreciate, especially as I’d only had one dish. I felt really done over. The acoustics were so bad that our throats were hurting just from trying to have conversation. Thankfully they gave us a bottle of wine complimentary after the misunderstanding. Also, 10.95 for a double vodka cranberry... if i had known i would have treated myself to a cocktail. The one plus side was the food. Beautiful tuna in the sushi bowl. Well done chefs.

We had a great bottomless brunch experience here. We were served by cleopatra and she was an excellent host! Would definitely recommend- very generous with drinks and great for gluten free

I had a delicious brunch here. The food was just perfectly salted and perfectly cooked. Came here spontaneously. Definitely recommend a nice brunch. The restaurant has such a nice vibe as well

Firstly - service and staff were lovely and worked hard - no problems with them at all - in fact - fantastic service!Food was a bit of a let down - our first taco was supposed to be vegan - I trusting that it was - ate pork for the first time in 6 years - it was quickly replaced and taken off the bill - however it left a bad taste in my mouth (literally and figuratively). V disappointing and upsetting (it also effected my stomach!)Tacos were very small - but well filled - however the tacos are too small for the filling and it would make way more sense to just have a big taco. They also weren’t very soft or good tacos.Vegan main was disappointing- I’m happy always to see vegan options - and their veganuary menu was extensive. I ordered the aubergine miso with rice - however it was a very simple rice bowl - with aubergine and then cucumbers on top with a sauce. It is something I would cook at home when tired - not something I want to spend £14.90 on. The way the menu is worded makes the meals big and filling - as they almost list the whole ingredients - so I’d expected a meal filling and full of flavour.Couldn’t taste the alcohol in the cocktail.Overall sadly wouldn’t come again.

Nice atmosphere and good drinks, but the food is a little disappointing.To be fair, we were a large table of around 11 but my ceviche was average and the dumplings not mindblowing either. They weren't BAD just wasn't wowed. Same goes for the sushi bowl.My friend got the teriyaki bowl though and she was really impressed - it smelt really good too so I think the food is hit or miss

·

Sadly a far cry from the amazing dining experience we had here 2 years ago. The ceviche was the most tasteless I've had but used to be SO epic. All dishes seemed to have been prepared hours before service and warm components just pieced together. Lacking flavour in all dishes.Sad to have this experience as it used to be so good.Overpriced and way below par food quality

We has a Christmas dinner at Mommi for our book club. There were 13 of us and had a great time! Organising a date, time and orders was a relaxed and friendly process. The photo includes some party bags and decorations of our own, but Mommi decorated it very festively for us even before that.I asked for some feedback from those that attended..."Amazing food""Nice staff, good food, great that they were able to isolate us a bit, good facilities, great to see gluten-free options as standard""Really nice food, appreciated being in our own little section, really good service.""Perhaps more vegan/vegetarian options would improve things even more!""Excellent service with a personal touch and fantastic food!"Thanks to all the staff for accommodating us during such a difficult time! It made our Christmas.

Japanese Peruvian fusion in a nice relaxed atmosphere. The food was gloriously fresh; vibrant flavours beautifully presented. Chic decor, friendly and attentive staff. Some of the cocktails were really excellent - delicious, creative and beautifully served. Perhaps a little comically hip and trendy (very Clapham if you get what I mean), but altogether a great experience, would recommend a visit!

My friend and I came here for brunch on Sunday and had lovely food and drinks. The staff were attentive and it was reasonably priced. The only reason why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because we wanted the bottomless brunch which apparently they only do on Saturdays even tho this was not mentioned anywhere on their website. We'd still come back tho!
