Peckham’s Best Restaurants | Where to Eat in Peckham and Peckham Rye | Eater London

"It’s possible to buy the whole world in Peckham, but until General Store starts stocking yams, it’s unlikely that these worlds ever collide. There is one place, however, that has the distinction of being the shop everyone goes to: Filishack. Owned by Peckham boys Jonathan and Justice Cacho, who grew up on the “Yellow Brick” Bells Garden’s Estate, Filishack is the exemplar of a business which knows its audience intimately and is content to do one thing and do that one thing better than it actually needs to be. Although adobo is on the menu, pretty much everyone congregates outside Peckham Library for the chicken inasal, grilled chicken nonpareil, marinated in lemongrass, ginger, vinegar and calamansi, then chopped into pieces to give every available bit of surface area a blackened char. It’s possible to get the inasal in a wrap, with the clever addition of garlic rice to make a burrito, but it’s probably best as a simple rice box. The Cachos will soon move from their van to a permanent site round the corner, where there will hopefully be space for new dishes. If you can’t find them, no worries: just follow the scent of garlic." - Jonathan Nunn
