2210 by NattyCanCook

4.7 (547)$$$ · Expensive

2210 by NattyCanCook trades on a homegrown, personality-led approach to cooking, and reviewers describe a warm, attentive service style that made a birthday meal feel genuinely special, right down to staff being singled out by name. Despite booking generally being required, one family of four managed to walk in on a busy Saturday and still found a warm welcome, suggesting a kitchen that tries to accommodate people rather than turning them away. Its 4.7 rating from 547 reviews and expensive pricing point to a small, dedicated operation rather than a large commercial restaurant, well suited to a celebratory meal with family or a special group dinner in a less touristy part of South London.

What people say

"We came here for a birthday meal and had a fantastic time, service was great especially our waitress Cecilia who looked after us excellently throughout our meal. It is always good to be served by someone so friendly and supportive with establishing what on the menu was gluten free and explaining what could be altered or had as is, most of the menu except for deserts The cocktails were fantastic. The rum punch was sweet with a good rum kick and the margarita was not too spicey while still leaving our lips tingling. The rhubarb and ginger cocktail was good too. We particularly enjoyed the starters, the pork belly was so soft and tender accompanied by fantastic sauces. My highlight was the deep fried mullet, thin crispy batter and full of flavour. The wiri wiri lamb was excellent, cooked to preference, for me nice and pink. I loved the smoked rice and peas, full of smoke, we preferred these to the jollof. The jerk chicken was moist and full of flavour though we would have liked a little more spice. The chicken bon bon was crispy and delicious. The plantain was delicious too. Overall we thought the restaurant was very reasonably priced for the high quality of the food, we spent £150 for starters, mains with sides and drinks. We enjoyed everything, and thought they largely did a great job of keeping carribean flavours while serving great fine dining food."
