Chapters in Lewisham

This evening my family and I went to Panas for my partner's birthday. Sujan the owner came to welcome us and stayed to chat a while. He is humble and such an achiever! Feeding 100,000 NHS staff during Covid 19 !!yet showed such graciousness. He set the tone, as his staff were also very warm and hospitable. What a lovely man, what a great team and what splendid service! Highly recommend.

Table for four. Chatted with the owner and waiters. Attentive service. All the food was excellent. 4 homemade chutneys - all amazing. My malabar fish main was nicely presented and well spiced with pilau rice. Sides were so good and were made vegan friendly on request. Definitely will return.

Restaurant has been refurbished, excellent service and good dishes well presented with good flavour. The scallops were very well cooked and great vegetarian dishes as main and sides.

Had a fabulous family meal here last week. The food was fantastic and the staff were so friendly. Loved it!

Delicious food, beautifully presented. Worth travelling a few miles to get to. Friendly service. The owners really care and it shows.

Panas is the best! I live in Essex but when I visit her we ALWAYS go here & they remember us! Even though this year was only 3 times due to Covid. The staff are friendly and food exceptional

I had the best lamb shank ever at this restaurant. The meat was incredibly tender and it melted in my mouth. The service was extremely good!! The staff (ie Pinu, Rafi, Natalia and also of course the manager) was extremely friendly and they made my entire meal even better. This is really the best Restaurant that I’ve been to in London- a lot better than Dishoom seriously.

Such a lovely place! Completely out of the way for me but I’m so glad to have visited.I didn’t know much about this place prior to my visit. I soon discovered they provided great community support and assistance during the height of the pandemic by supplying free meals to its local community and NHS frontline staff. They have a great community presence and reputation.As soon as you enter this small, local establishment you’ll be greeted warmly and welcomed like an old friend. Impeccable service without the fuss but lots of love instead!The food is fantastic. Amazing flavours, fresh ingredients and wonderfully presented food. The portions are incredibly generous, so much so I took more of my food home than I ate there, and I was hungry!The owner, Sujan was trained under Michelin star’s first Indian chef, Atul Kochhar. The passion and love of food is there from the moment you walk in and smell the aromas and have your first bite.If only it wasn’t so far from me!

Just visited the newly refurbished Panas restaurant and had an excellent, top quality rogan josh and a really lovely evening. The team at panas do themselves proud, great food and if you take some time to read about the work they’ve done in the community through the pandemic and the story of Sujan , the founder, it’s quite humbling. If you can go, enjoy and share.

We had lunch yesterday, it was quiet, we were the only ones there. We were greeted by a lovely staff. She was very sweet, welcoming and helpful. We particularly were there for the momos and it didn’t disappoint. We had Nepalese dish for our main course, which was incredible both in taste and value for money. Highly recommend this restaurant
