    Absolutely top tier burger. The boulders patty was moist and tender and filled with flavour. The sauce they used was sweet and sour and worked great! My partner had the roast dinner in a yorkshire pudding style burger, not my personal cup of tea but she absolutely adored it! Currently rated my 3rd favourite burger in the UK.

    Arks of Deptford is an absolute gem in the heart of Deptford ! I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming establishment, and I can confidently say it deserves every one of its 5 stars. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed with warm smiles and impeccable service. The ambiance is nothing short of magical; it strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant. The decor is tasteful, creating a soothing and inviting atmosphere. The menu is a culinary delight. Arks of Deptford offers a wide range of dishes that cater to various palates, and each one is a work of art in itself. The flavours and presentation of the food ,especially the tacos and burgers, are outstanding, and you can taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients in every bite. The wine selection is impressive, offering a great variety to complement your meal. The staff is knowledgeable about the wine pairings and was more than happy to help me choose the perfect one for my dish. The service at Arks of Deptford is impeccable. The staff is attentive, friendly, and eager to make your dining experience memorable, especially like to say a big thank you to Arkin, Hussein and Nikki. They were all very patient in answering all my questions and were quick to accommodate my friends dietary requirements. I can't forget to mention the sticky toffee pudding; it was the perfect ending to an exceptional meal. The presentation was beautiful, and the taste was even better. It was a sweet conclusion to a perfect evening. Arks of Deptford truly stands out for its commitment to quality and excellence in all aspects of the dining experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a special celebration, or just a delightful meal, this place has it all. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. This is a 5-star dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure.

    Absolutely brilliant, 5 stars. We went for the Sunday roast and opted for the beef (me) and the lamb and both were perfect. The meat was cooked perfectly to my preference, the veg was delicious as were the great whopping Yorkshire puddings. This is a great place and it's a shame we hadn't discovered it sooner. We will most definitely be back again soon. If you love a good roast then this is the place for you.

    Came here for a wine and a snack this evening. I have seen this bar but never really had the chance to go in, and what a gem. If youโ€™re ever in Greenwich, I would ditch the hustle and bustle and walk 5 minutes to Arks. The owner is super friendly and the team that serve you are very helpful. The menu is so reasonably priced compared to other eateries around the area, and also caters for vegans really well! I honestly canโ€™t wait to come back here, what a lovely little place!

    Been at this bar many times and every time I have left with a smile on my face. Lovely staff, amazing food and great atmosphere. My personal favourite is the Kim Jong Un burger - definitely give it a try if you can. I 100% recommend this place!!

    Delicious food and cocktails, I had a mix of small plates and beef tacos. Wasnโ€™t particularly impressed by the pudding, I donโ€™t recommend the lime cheesecake.

    Called in for Sunday lunch, which was absolutely gorgeous, and very reasonably priced. Shared a pudding with my friend, which was also lovely. Staff friendly as well. Will definitely go back.

    This was a find for me. At the top of Deptford market with plain benches outside. I've passed it many times. Yes the furniture is basic. Always a turnoff. But the food and the service was surprisingly good. I only had a small plate of meatballs which was a little bland. But I saw Chrispy chicken salad and roast beef delivered which looked outstanding. My desert of caramel sponge was melt in the mouth. Priced far too low for the quality of food. I shall be back.

    I donโ€™t usually leave reviews, but firstly the people that work here are very friendly, and kind enough to let me work from here when Iโ€™m escaping noisy neighbours. Although I have to say the stuffing croquette balls are reason enough to keep me around. They are delicious and beautiful presented. The fries are also amazing and good fries arenโ€™t always a guarantee. Also, whoever is in charge of the music deserves a pay rise.

    Great little lunch spot, I enjoyed the Tacos. They were flavourful and well presented, I was pretty impressed. I've also had the KJU burger which is also good. Staff are pretty friendly and the ambiance is good. Only downside is the Tacos are too expensive - 2 for ยฃ10 or 1 for ยฃ7 is too much when there is a similar place a few doors down doing 3 for ยฃ10.

    Lovely spot for a Sunday Roast. Nice vibe. Nice staff. Even nicer food. Couldnโ€™t recommend enough. Treat yourself to the Deptford Rum Punch and some churros!

    Very lovely and accommodating bar staff. I believe I spoke to the owner a d their son. Great local knowledge. Made the tourists visiting near me feel very welcome. Good old Deptford. Hope they get Siren Craft Brew soon as suggested.

    Food came out at different times and the avocado on toast was very disappointing. Avocado not fresh and clearly shop bought pre-smashed. The bread was barely toasted as well. Burgers were terrible, overcooked patties, sauce lacklustre and limp lettuce. They also came out at different times. Surely you would cook two burgers together rather than one after the other, making the second person wait for their food while the whole table has theirs? Extremely disgusted by the owners son picking his nose and eating it while standing behind the bar in plain sightโ€ฆ not once but 3 times!!! It made us all feel so sick and we had to leave straight away. Will not be returning and will not be recommending to friends. Such a shame, however, our waiter was lovely so couldnโ€™t fault on service.

    Great cocktails, especially the bali punch. Wasn't going for dinner last night but the tacos were on point. Great staff and the owner is really nice and friendly

  • 5/5 dave 5 months ago on Google
    Just had one of the most delicious full english breakfasts I've ever had. The oat caramel latte was the best coffee I have ever had and at ยฃ3 was unbelievably reasonable and could have even been priced at ยฃ6 and been priced reasonably. I will definitely be coming in later for the Sunday roast that was recommended to me by Nikki.

    Top quality beer and tapas. Breakfast served all day. Open late on Sunday, too. A good place to watch the world go by.

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 1 year ago on Google
    If you love tacos, cocktails, massive burgers then this is your place. The food is great quality, good value and menu is varied enough to suit nearly everyone. Staff are friendly and happy to suggest some off the books cocktails if they have the ingredients. Some nights they have a dj on which is a nice touch.
