Lemon Grass was a fabulous Malaysian restaurant and takeaway in Camberwell that also had a branch in Oriental City. It closed a few months ago and recently some building work seems to have been taking place.
secretlondon walked past the site today and it was open! The Lemon Grass sign was illuminated (and pictures of Malaysian food were still on the walls), however this is now another North African cafe.
They just opened on 31 August 2008 and only had sandwiches, drinks and couscous with soup and meat. I had the latter for £3.50 takeaway - it was a large container of couscous with another container of vegetable soup with chickpeas and peppers. In the soup there was a piece of lamb on the bone.
The food was fine and good value for £3.50. I couldn't find out much about this place as the owners didn't seem to understand my questions. I presume new signage etc will follow shortly.
