Reasons to go
Full description
KOKUM takes its name from a coastal Indian souring fruit and leans into regional dishes rather than a generic curry-house menu, with reviewers calling out the papad, dahi batata puri, and a well-loved samosa chaat alongside duck and chicken sheekh options. Diners describe unhurried service even during a full sitting, with nobody rushing them out despite a busy room.
Its 4.8 rating from 369 reviews and strong local score point to a restaurant beloved by neighbourhood regulars rather than tour groups, making it a good pick for travellers wanting an authentic, non-touristy Indian meal in South London. The mid-range pricing and relaxed lunch-or-dinner slots suit a leisurely meal with time to work through several small plates.

A truly lovely lunch here with wonderfully authentic flavours. We didn’t feel rushed event though we were there for a couple of hours. Loved the samosa chaat (always a favourite dish for me) but all the dishes we got were great.
