Historical version 4 of Nivla Restaurant, SE5 0EZ (view current version)

Sierra Leonean restaurant in 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 should probably go back and try other dishes.

Comment added by Camberwellian: 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. Less greasy and spicy than Canaan which is a good thing but sometimes I'm in the mood for greasy and spicy!
