Satay Bar

You're walking down Coldharbour Lane in Brixton and suddenly you're hit with that unmistakable smell of charred peanut sauce and grilled meat. Satay Bar is exactly what it says on the tin—a stripped-back spot where the real draw is skewers done right. The satay here isn't messing about; it's the kind of thing that keeps locals coming back, not because it's fancy, but because it genuinely tastes like someone knows what they're doing. The room itself is unpretentious to the point of austere, all functional tables and bright lights, but that's kind of the point. This is about the food, and the food speaks for itself.
