Trinidadian-born chef Sham Mahabir owns LIMIN Southbank, a Caribbean restaurant bringing the flavours and culture of the islands to London’s South Bank. A Peckham resident, Sham’s agreed to share his favourite food and drink spots in SE15 with Hot Dinners readers.
Peckham Bazaar
119 Consort Rd, London SE15 3RU
I love that it’s tucked away and off the beaten track! It is really good for vegetarian cuisine and my favourite dish there is always changing - the octopus is a stand out dish though.
The Montpellier
43 Choumert Rd, London SE15 4AR
It’s been awarded Britain’s best burger (Editor’s note: Whole Beast has now finished its residency here) and it’s the first pub I went to when I moved to Peckham. They also do a really good cold pint of local beer.
Khan’s Bargain Ltd
135 Rye Ln, London SE15 4ST
A bit of a different one but this place has literally everything you could possibly need in life and everything you didn’t know you needed in life. From avocado to zaatar, and plates, crockery, brooms, it has it all.
Bussey Building
Roof B, Bussey Building, 133 Rye Lane, London SE15 4ST
The rooftop has unparalleled views across London, and I can see my flat from it so it’s not too far! The rooftop terrace is one of my favourite places to be in the summer
Toad Bakery
44 Peckham Rd, London SE5 8PX
On the Peckham Road, it’s the best bakery in Peckham - the queue is always 50 deep on a Saturday which shows how good it is. The cinnamon twist is ridiculous, and I also like the cheese twists, and the bread is delicious.
