Great food, good service, but the downstairs is more dungeon-like than ever! Needs more light.....

Came here for a private birthday dinner with family. It's on the main road, nearest tube Brixton. 10 minute walk or 2 minute bus ride. Nice drinking area out the front but to get a drink you have to go upstairs though and down stairs. A bit awkward if ordering for multiple people. A private room is ok for a sit down dinner but that's all no space for anything else. Drinks like everywhere are overpriced! Service was good and friendly staff.Vegetarian options: Numerous options.Parking: There are no parking facilities. Find your own place to park.Kid-friendliness: If you're in the private room but I'd say not really for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair access. Stairs to go inside.

What happened to Effra Social?A couple of years ago it was always buzzing and the atmosphere was really cool. It’s lost all sense of its identity and seems to have turned really mainstream.I thought I’d give it another chance for New Year’s Eve but that was a serious mistake. I paid for an 80’s night but instead it was a bunch of wrongens (all on gear) side stepping to repetitive house.No more chances now.

Just had to share. Witnessed an employee called Nick give some of the best customer service. He was personable and kind and then,apologitic for a simple mistake which he rectified with a round on the house. Perfect example of a great server and good food and drink to go with it!
Such a great venue, amazing vibes, Max was great!! Love

The portions are delicious. The place is pure charm. In addition to the balcony, there is a huge internal part. Happy hour is reasonably priced ?

We had a table booking for this afternoon, hoping for a Sunday roast.We were told food orders weren’t being taken for 20 minutes, which is fine. But then it turned into around an hour of waiting to be allowed to order food.We ended up leaving which was devastating as we had heard very nice things after moving nearby!

Arrived for a booked table to eat. We were told they weren't taking orders for food on account of a very large party that had just ordered. That's fair enough and we were told they would be taking orders again in 20 minutes, so we ordered drinks and waited 20 minutes only to be told they still weren't taking orders for food but they would be in 15 more minutes. Again we waited 15 minutes and surprise surprise were told to wait another 15 minutes. At this point we left. Being unable to provide a service to booked guests is bad enough but then stringing them along for an hour is unacceptable. If they'd have just been honest about the situation in the kitchen from the start and apologised for the inconvenience it would have been a lot quicker and easier for us to have simply made an informed decision as to whether to stay and wait or eat somewhere else.

Great Sunday roast experience, very tasty and the staff were super accommodating when I asked for my beef to be cooked pink, and even got me a fresh plate when the first one came out well done. The last roast booking is 6 pm, so it's a nice option if you want something a bit later than the mid-afternoon cutoff I usually see in this area.
Every Friday we don't give up
