We came for dinner with relatively high expectations as I really enjoyed the food at Kudu Grill. While some dishes were good, others were just average, so I didn't quite understand the hype. Between the four of us, we shared the olives, kudu bread with seafood butter, parmesan churros, chicken liver parfait choux buns (probably my favourite of the night), scallops (flavours didn't work for me), braai broodjie agnolotti (good), cured sea trout (bit bland), spiced BBQ lamb ribs (ok), cod (nice flavour), chicken supreme (dry), onglet (enjoyed this one) and for dessert, strawberries on cream (nice and refreshing). The service was generally polite, but there were times when they left the food on the table without explaining what each dish was. If I happen to be in the area again, I might give it another chance, but it's not a place I'd rush back to.

Great place. The lady who was running front of house was a great host. Food brilliant, Absolutely brilliant. A little bit too much grilled cabbage / lettuce,.But this is very minor, really sensational. Would love to have the recipes. I am attaching photos but they are of poor quality and do not reflect the quality of cooking.

I would go here weekly if it wasn't so far away from me.A small restaurant near the Peckham overground serving South African cuisine. The sommelier helped guide us through South African wines to pair with our dinner, and he did a great job.Food wise, each dish had a different texture and taste to amuse my tastebuds. We started with their signature bread with two types of butter. I highly recommend getting both butters to try the more meaty savory taste and the fishy taste. The churros were my favorite. I loved how small and crunchy they were along with the little yellow sauce on the side. The tartare and the chicken hearts were nice, but didn't stand a chance against the onglet steak. The steak was cooked perfectly and paired so well with the mushrooms and veggies. For two people, this was the perfect amount of food. We had no room for dessert.

One of the best meals I've had in a while. The food was excellent, with strong and interesting flavours but really well balanced. Our favourite dish of the night was the scallop potjie, which was exquisite.Service was also fantastic - shout-out to Fin who explained each dish to us (origins of the dishes and the reason for each ingredient's inclusion) and checking up on us despite being super busy. Great dinner!

Great food, lovely service. Don't think cocktails are their forte, and wine that we had was rather boring but we only tried on bottle so maybe just unlucky.Overall great food, vibe and service.

Absolutely love this place and possibly the best meal I've had in London. The food was so unique and beautifully presented, and the staff were attentive. A must try is their Kudu bread which melts in your mouth. I've been to a few Michelin starred restaurants and the food was definitely up there.

Made a last minute booking with Kudu for brunch, seamless booking.We were seated promptly and wait staff were incredibly friendly.We ordered the shakshuka, boerwors and chakalaka and the sourdough waffles with treacle salmon.Food was incredible, fluffy waffles, generous serving of salmon and crème fraiche, well balanced shakshuka with a twist (burnt end kale and Parmesan)… It was interesting (still undecided on the combo) however we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The superstar of the show was boerwors and chakalaka and chimichurri. Flavours were insane, sausage well cooked and overall just really enjoyable.Service was top notch, we had a slight issue with the eggs on some of the dishes (my partner cannot stand a runny egg, I love them lol) so when the dishes originally came (pictured) we had to send some back as the eggs were too runny for his taste… Wait staff were super apologetic and accommodating and even served us biltong as we waited for the dishes to be prepared again (biltong was lovely btw)Overall I had a great time, as a Southern African I loved that the dishes tasted homely yet elevated. Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend!

After a lot of online hype, I was really looking forward to trying Kudu and booked it for my birthday. The interior is lovely, with a cute outside patio in the back. Absolutely wonderful service, all the staff were welcoming, kind and attentive. The kudu bread with butter was really unique and delicious - very light and fluffy bread with great flavour. The scallops were delicious and fresh too, very well balanced. However, we treated ourselves to the expensive beef dish and I was quite disappointed. It just didn’t have much flavour at all? and the truffle foam was a textural nightmare. The cabbage was too hard and the mustard too strong. Everything other than that dish was delightful, but a shame as it was almost £60 just for that dish! I would come again for everything but the steak.

Just amazing!! We had Saturday brunch here and loved everything about it. Great service, delicious food, nice cocktails and priced well. Highly recommend Kudu and can’t wait to return! Also - they have gluten free bread available and lots of other GF options

This is a hip place that is well-suited for dates and drinks. The portions are on the small side. However, they are beautifully styled and have great taste. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is memorable. If anything, I would have a more extensive dessert selection. There is only a pavlova and a chocolate ganache on the menu.
