Was at Nanban for lunch on Saturday. Was nice to see Tim go permanent after his previous stint at the Market House down the road.
We really enjoyed it. In contrast to the previous reports, the service we experienced was friendly and accurate. The food also hit the spot, with one or two nods to its Brixton location such as the saltfish and Acki fritters or a scotch bonnet dipping sauce in place of a more traditional Japanese one.Look forward to exploring more of the menu - and the beer and sake options in future.
I wouldn’t go there to “dine” but it bills itself as an “izekawa” and it hits that spot very well: informal stop-by place for a post-shopping lunch or before (or after) a few drinks. I could very well see a routine developing chez nous of 2 or 3 “loosener” cocktails at the excellent “Shrub and Shutter” down the road, followed by a “cheeky Nanbans” !
