Waited almost an hour to be seated even with a reservation and Food took ages to come with some of the items missing. At that point we were just over it. This was very disheartening as I had been before and enjoyed my experience.

Beautiful ambience and the food was worth the wait. Great experience

monika was very tasty i would definitely go back again

Excellent customer service. Excellent jazz music very nice to listen to

Great restaurant the food was amazing good Customer Service absolutely loved it will definitely go back!

Food was 10/10 atmospheres was great and wonderful customer service

What an experience, so good, we are already planning our next visit. The food, the portions and delivery were all on point

The service was amazing. Food was superb, well seasoned and the prices were good, very reasonable. The lady that served my table made us comfortable. I will definitely advertise this location to my friends and family. Thanks. Tina Olutusin.

Lovely meal and nice customer service, will love to come again

Amazing service, good atmosphere. The food was delicious we had a good time and would definitely be back.

Great service and great food ! And thanks for the flexibility

It was very busy on the day and had to wait for a bit but food and experience were great.

Great food, great atmosphere, just too many birthday celebrations with drums.

Food it’s on point! 10/10 Cocktails are amazing. Great vibes, good music and great service!

It's the second time we've visited. The food and atmosphere were both great (especially for 6pm on a Tuesday, it was really vibing). The seafood platter was immense, really recommend the huge prawns and chicken suya. We also had some cocktails on this occasion, really good too. The music was a little too loud when we first arrived, back the volume dipped to a better level after a while. Awesome meal.

Outside with my ladies, Nice welcome when we arrived, my booking checked. Ordered drinks, not much of a delay and Ordered food. Food arrived on time, portion was good, food hot and tasty, options to take home available, I found my strawberry daiquiri too sweet, more syrup than fruit. Toyosin served us politely and respectfully and was attentive by bringing aprons, gloves to tackle the big seafood boil, which we all highly recommend with fried yam. I hope the attitude does not change, we all will be back soon.

Not a place for a quiet, intimate dinner - it’s loud and buzzing with birthday celebrations but it does serve some of the best seafood in SE London and the staff are very welcoming and sweet - special thank you to Shrijana who kept us fed and watered throughout the evening.

The music was really good , my type of vibe, however it may be a little loud that’s all I would say

It was a beautiful ambience, service and food was great too

Really good service, the staff were lovely and very helpful. Really nice atmosphere and deco.

The service was good and the food was amazing. I was a very aesthetically pleasing place. I didn’t leave hungry and the price matched the amount of food I ordered. I’m definitely coming back!

Food was great! Customer service was to notch. We enjoyed every bite thank u.

Amazing food with large portions. Yummy cocktails. Great service. A shame it's so far away from Oxford.

The vibe was 💯, the food tasty and delicious will be definitely patronising Monika again ,soon with my family.And I loved that we didn't have to wait for too long for the food and fabulous service ,I loved it

It was alright… food was good and of good quantity

The food was really delicious and staff were incredibly friendly.

Amazing food and service by the staff. The food didn’t take long at all to come and I was stuffed considering me and my partner had a sharing platter. The food was simply delicious and we’re already looking forward to next time

Food great. Table servers great. We we rushed off our table when we wanted to order dessert because the aparently the next table was at the door. We moved to the bar for drinks and comments were made that we were still in the restaurant. After a while a member of bar staff then told us that they needed the space at the bar. Meanwhile our table had remained vacant after being asked to depart from it. The food was great but not good enough to return to that service.

Very tasty food, but WAY WAY WAY TOO LOUD! love my Naija brothers and sisters but plz I don't need a DJ banging tunes when I'm trying to eat and talk.

I loved coming here with my cousin, we travel from far to taste what everyone is talking about and it did not disappoint! We got the sharer for 2 and it was amazing the flavours from the starters( those spring rolls are different not what you expect, they were better), the mains blew us away, really good good flavoursome talapia, sauce and accompaniments chefs kiss, that seafood rice exceptional flavours. Dessert the sticky toffee perfect! Drinks on point, decor warm inviting and cosy. All the vibes this place!! Precious is a delightful host, she has a beautiful spirit and made our experience even better. I will be back and I’ll bring more people!

It was amazing !!!! Loved it ! Even my little one enjoyed the meal and atmosphere

Great restaurant, great service, great food. Attentive staff, big portions and flavours are some of the best out there. Will 100% be back, best believe portions alone, they’re not being beat.

Great food and service. We would liked the music played a little lower as we couldn't hear each over over dinner.

Good customer service and very attentive. Thank you very much

The food was really good, but the wait time was long

Called the restaurant over 20 times but no one answered. No option on website to make amendments to booking. Small fruit flies surrounded our table that was next to the grill and made dining unpleasant. No lamb chops or prawns available so a member of our party had to leave and go elsewhere to look for food. Meat platter was more of chicken and not equal amounts of beef/lamb. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I really enjoyed my 1st visit & the staff were awesome! It was my sisters 40th & they really went all out when they brought her cake over, she was so embarrassed -it was great!!!! The only downside (for me) was the loudness, everyone was shouting over each other because of the really loud music- aside from that, the atmosphere was lovely. I also think investing in those fly zapper machine things wouldn’t harm as the little food flies were really annoying. Otherwise, lovely restaurant & food was so flavoursome!

Lovely decor. However, the restaurant isnt clean. There are flies everywhere. It waa so off putting that my entire party had to pack our food to go because we couldn't stand eating somewhere where there were so many flies.

The service was second to none in my book, in a very long time that I have been dining out. The food was great too.

My friends and I throughly enjoyed the food. Service was also good.

The food, drinks and services was amazing!! We loved it.

It was a lovely dinner outing . Would come again

Overall food was ok. Food that was supposed to be spicy wasn’t. The menu is very good for saying what contains nuts, which was helpful for one of the guests who is allergic to nuts. However, the food she wanted (lamb chops) which didn’t have the note ‘contains nuts’, apparently does. Restaurant seemed a bit unorganised. Booked for 15 people, but only given a table big enough to sit 12 and had to ask for an extra table. Yes we were a large group and yes there seemed to be a lot of birthdays, so while some allowance could be made it still just wasn’t great. We had to ask 4 members of staff for spoons and wait 15 minutes before someone eventually told us they were being washed. By the time those of us who needed spoons got them, food was lukewarm. No one came to check if we were ok or enjoying the food or wanted more drinks, everytime we needed something we had to get up and find someone. Overall it Was a strange experience.

Ash was a lovely waitress, really attentive and fast! Food was amazing, would definitley be back.

Good meal, good service. Very friendly staff and relaxing environment

Good location. Very nice and warm atmosphere. Well done. I

Love Monika. Service, food and REAL cocktails are superb. A wonderful dining experience.

Absolutely fabulous! I had the best birthday celebration. Me and my friends were treated like royalty, the staff were SO lovely and the food just incredible. Thank you everyone at Monika!

Fast service, yummy food, amazing music and atmosphere! Definitely would go back although it's a little expensive!

Everything was cool and the food was top notch but they didn’t recognise the special request I asked for but all was perfect
