Great food and experience

This is a delightful little Thai restaurant in Herne Hill. The food is great with Scallops and Bok Choy and a few house specialties as well as the basic dishes such as Pad Thai Noodles which are done very well. The interior is quite small and intimate with white wood panelling and classy decorations. Not over the top gold bling that you get in some Thai restaurants. The only disappointing point was the take-away delivery which is sometimes cold when it arrives.

Number 22 - Superb!

Number 22 is a wonderful local restaurant. The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable on the food and wine.

We had a lovely long meal, experiencing nearly the whole list which our waitress delivered in sections.....

Can't recommend this place enough.

Good, but not quite worth it

We hadn't planned to go to Olleys but just wandered past when hungry and decided to give it a try.

The service is great, before our starters turned up we got given little fishcakes to try. This wasn't because our starters were late, in fact the whole meal was served promptly.

The range of fish is interesting, though there is no advice on how ethically the fish is sourced...

The food was ok, nothing amazing but not really worth the prize. It's about £12-15 for a piece of fish, and that doesn't include chips, mushy peas, potatoes etc... that's all about £2-3 extra. Our meal came to £50, which is a bit much for very standard fish and chips for two.

The additional of local radio (with commercials) blaring through the stereo meant that more than once I wished we'd just got take away.
