M and D Japanese Deptford

"As much as we love lunches that turn into dinners, sometimes a quick, in-and-out spot delivering dependable comfort is what you need. M&D Japanese is a low-key Japanese restaurant that promises a good time but not a long time. Skip the sushi—this is a place for hunkering down with a bowl of rich and soothing katsu curry that has ‘afternoon nap’ written all over it. The casual spot, wallpapered with stock images of autumnal Japanese countryside scenes, is good for two people, but great on your own. Claim one of the squishy booths and spend a happy half hour, phone in one hand, spoon in the other. " - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager

This is a place for hunkering down with a bowl of rich and soothing katsu curry (under £15) that has ‘afternoon nap’ or ‘I’ll sleep well tonight’ written all over it. The comforting spot, wallpapered with stock images of autumnal Japanese countryside scenes, is especially great on your own.
