Nivla was a Sierra Leonean restaurant in [[Locale Camberwell|Camberwell]]. It has now closed, and as of mid-2014 the premises are occupied by a solicitors. The information below is retained for historical reasons. <div class="old_info"> Sierra Leonean restaurant in [[Locale Camberwell|Camberwell]], on Camberwell Road near where it becomes Walworth Road. They also do takeaway. [[secretlondon]] visited for a takeaway in June 2010. I had the weekend special of bitter leaves, beef, and dried fish, with rice (£8). It was hotter than I expected, but I know nothing about Sierra Leonean food. I've been back a few times since and tried dishes including jerk chicken and jollof rice with chicken. The meat I've had from here wasn't offal, unlike the "mixed meat" I had at [[Moyo-Ma, SE17 2AL|Moyo-Ma]] (another West African restaurant just down the road). They have a number of daily specials and sell home made ginger beer (which I've not sampled). They are also licensed. I've had an akara bean doughnut starter (£2) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/6294547300/ photo]</small> which was fun. They had a cinnamon flavour which contrasted with a spicy tomato sauce. A visitor called Camberwellian adds: An excellent restaurant with genuinely warm and friendly service. I've had: *Cassava leaves with mixed beef and dried fish - this was perfect. It came with fufu and was expertly flavoured. *Grilled sea bass with plantain and veg - flavour was amazing but let down slightly because not all the fish scales had been removed properly. *Suya - delicious *Grilled gizzard - succulent and tasty *Jollof rice and stew meat - rich flavour but subtle compared to Nigerian equivalent at [[Canaan Restaurant, SE5 0HB|Canaan]]. Less greasy and spicy than Canaan which is a good thing but sometimes I'm in the mood for greasy and spicy!
