New Bar on Brixton Hill

[honto]

Yep it is across from the Med bakery, but I think think the sign is silver with red letters (however my memory is awful)

I didn't see it and think 'greek style' but it is a bit I guess. It's not blue and white though. (however I repeat my memory is awful)

Worth a go though, its good to encourage the new stuff that opens round there, always seems an up hill struggle for them.

Well they do live on a Hill

I went here last week - its run by the same people that have the cafe a little further along towards Oishii. The pide are pretty good - basically like a long thin pizza, and the kebab and rice looked good too. It has a little bar in the back which I sure will see no use whatsoever and its a bit in between trying to be a restaurant, but really being like a cafe. Still good luck to them - foods good and they are friendly.

ummm....yum!

may give it a go soon...

has anyone been to that greek grill place - Troy further up the hill?
looks packed...been tempted a few times to check it out.

me loves me BBQs.

Not been in there yet, but plan to: the people in Troy are really lovely, and as a basic greasy spoon it's really good. I wish them well, they deserve it.

are you talking about the Troy cafe?
yeah they're cool. i usually eat in there.

didn't know they ran the new restaurant too!

Yes its the same people - we often go in the cafe, and when we went in the new place they came up and said hello, and asked if we'd come to the wrong place by accident. They are a nice bunch and that cafe sells the best hangover cure breakfasts in Streatham Hill. FACT. It is also very reasonably priced.

I popped into Iroko yesterday. It looks absolutely lovely. It reminded me of a tropical wooden Balinese-style restaurant (except it's African). Asked if they'd a menu printed up yet but they haven't.

Forgot to ask when they're opening

 

[CharlieAddict]

i thought it was already open.
it's been semi full for the last two nights.

It's Iroko that's responsible for this outside the shop down the road too.

Maybe they didn't have any menus because I didn't have the right look

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It's about time they sorted their website as well. It doesn't look like it's been updated for months. The menu's not even on-line

I popped in on Friday night (on the way to Oishii!). It looks lovely inside. Very helpful guy and gal at the bar said that kitchen was just being finished and food would be served the following week.

Didn't stay for a drink but will check out the scoff when they start serving.

Maybe CharlieAddict was seeing a private party happening then?

Maybe it's just serving drinks then at the moment?

I get the feeling it ain't gonna be cheap

Isn't it. It's infuriatingly slow

PM editor the link for a laugh

It did look lovely all lit up at night. Wonder if the refurbished Telegraph will look so tasteful?

Oh man, that website sucks so bad....

One gets the feeling that far, far too much money has been spent on this place...

 

[Nougat]

The website doesn't actually lead anywhere. Or am I missing something?

There's no menu, timetable etc. up. The only thing that's showing is a few photos.

Totally crap

Maybe it was a party for the workers. The guy that did the decoration on the wall was definitely Chinese-looking

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Typical

 

[CharlieAddict]

maybe it's a interracial thing for single chinese/black men...

That sounds deep

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Anyone been in there yet? I popped in to get a menu recently. Didn't look cheap

 

[Kanda]

Few people from my local pub have been, including the landlords, they won't be going again apparently...

Will try it myself sometime I guess...
