Nandine - Vestry Road

"For when you’ve become part-human, part-sofa Your sofa is ergonomically molded to your body. You can’t remember the last time you wore anything other than underwear. Netflix has given up asking. Of course you’re going to watch more. Or, are you? It’s time to peel yourself off and get yourself back out in the real world. You need somewhere rejuvenating. Somewhere that’ll make you feel good about yourself. Somewhere like Nandine in Camberwell, a Kurdish cafe and restaurant that serves brilliant vegetable-filled mezze bowls, 10/10 baklava, and all at a price that seems too good to be true. But it isn’t." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"Nandine is a cafe and restaurant that serves Kurdish food from one long and tastefully Ikea-ish room in Camberwell. The menu is full of the kind of stuff that makes you go all lovey dovey for fresh and excellent ingredients. The vegan mezze bowls feature no less than 10 component parts, and these are what you should be coming here, and coming back here, for. Not just because they’re a steal, but because the aubergine is never not addictively smoky and the lentil falafels never not crunchy. " - Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna

"Tonight, you’re going to go hard. We’re talking four courses, several rounds of free bread, fuck-it-another-negroni-is-in-order level hard, so for lunch you need to be strategic. Head for Nandine in Camberwell. The mezze at this bright Kurdish spot is exactly the kind of food you can graze on when you’re saving room for later. Bit of stuffed grape leaves here, nibble of red cabbage slaw there, a couple bites of falafel, and aubergine qawarma to finish you off. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"The Kurdish favourite in Camberwell is full of good food and straight up lovely vibes. Tender seven-spice chicken kebabs, Kurdish dumplings, and aubergine three ways should be on your table, but pretty much anything from the charcoal grill of Nandine’s Camberwell Church Street location is worthy of your attention. Little tea lights, friendly service, and the sound of murmuring catch-ups make this spot perfect for focusing on conversation and excellent food." - Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna

"Nandine is a family-run restaurant in Camberwell that serves the kind of Kurdish food that makes you go all lovey dovey for fresh and excellent ingredients. Case in point: the huge mezze bowls—meat, vegetarian, or vegan—all feature no less than 10 components for around a tenner. There are also brunch options available, but no matter what time of day you swing by, we encourage a cheeky order of sweet, sticky, and undeniably satisfying primo baklava. " - Team Infatuation
