YEMANES'

You're walking into something genuinely unpretentious here — Parkstone Road in Peckham isn't trying to be cool, it just is. Yemanes' sits amongst the neighbourhood's brilliant mix of independent shops and actual community, the kind of place where regulars are regulars because the food is honest and the portions make sense. This is falafel done right: crispy outside, fluffy within, not some dry approximation. The menu pulls from proper Middle Eastern traditions, and you can taste that someone knows what they're doing in the kitchen rather than chasing trends.
