I was sceptical of some of the reviews but we were pleasantly surprised. Lovely food, and if you love plantain you'll be happy with the portion. Great service and I think we'll go again - one for the repeat list!

My sister and I had the pleasure of trying out 139 Fika, and what an amazing dining experience it was! The sirloin steak suya was packed with flavor and had just the right amount of spice. The grilled prawns were juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the oxtail pie was rich, tender, and comforting. The jollof rice was a also a standout with a hint of smokeyness yet full of flavour, and the perfect complement to the meal. A must try is also the Fika salad, a wonderful balance of sweet and tangy. The staff were warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Many thanks also goes to Saolo for making our evening such pleasant experience. We’ll definitely be back to try more of the other items on the menu. Thank you team.

Food was so-so. Some good (lamb), some bad (omelette). Ambience was ok too. Service was my biggest gripe. Extremely slow even though the restaurant wasn’t full. We were sat down at the table after arriving and the waiter forgot to deliver us a menu which he promised. After 15 minutes of waiting, I had to get out of the seat to find him and ask for our menu. We ordered and waited an additional 45 minutes for our food to arrive. Another table next to us had already eaten. They ordered their round 2 well after we did. Frustratingly, their second arrived before our order. I went to the front to complain and was told that they had a system for ordering whereby people that order seconds get priority! Couldn’t actually believe what I was hearing! We had a young child with us who was starving too! I was fuming. Eventually our food arrived. By this point, I had already approached their staff twice to ask where our meal was. When our bill arrived, it cheekily included service which I made sure they removed. Safe to say, I won’t be returning.

Lovely decor very inviting with great music. Food did take some time to come considering what was ordered. Would say it was a bit pricey for what it was. A few more options for Vegans or those with allergies would have been nice. But left feeling content.

New restaurant for us, in the gem location that is Peckham's Bellenden Road, and one we'll definitely be going back to. Welcoming friendly service, great chef and food - the starter chicken wings in particular were the best I've had. This place is on the rise, and worth a trip!
