Amazing Xinjiang restaurant at Camberwell!!!!! The soup noodle and skewers are the best dishes of the night. I can’t wait to go back and try other dishes. The price is very reasonable. We had 4 people, 6 dishes and 3 beers that night, the bill was only 50 pounds!!!!!!
My friend and I came to have a catch up chat after a long time having not seen one another. I booked and was glad I did! It was heaving full of students (like ourselves), but our table was cleared and we had plenty of room to chat. The food is amazing, though a little spicy for my friend. I am more of a pour chilli on everything person. We had a selection of vegetarian delights which surpassed anything you would have had from your average Chinese takeaway. All of this and our beers turned out to be outrageously cheap! I will be coming here regularly.
Surprisingly tasty little gem in south London. Plenty of fast food places on this road but this place was a stand out chinese restaurant. The noodles were hand made and super tasty and the charcoal grilled meat and fish skewers were fantastic. I advise you to pre book or be prepared to queue on a Saturday. Well worth the wait though. Only in London do you get to try food from a provence different to the normal.
From all the reviews online, I had high expectations but Silk Road is SO over-rated. I’m Chinese and understand the culture and food, so I was not expecting particularly friendly service but the manager was just rude, unwelcoming and gave a bad impression from the start. Other staff were timid but polite.The Xinjiang lamb shish was chewy, half of it was chunks of fat, and the portion was tiny. The same goes for the Ox tripe shish – not even worth the 1…The egg, leek and shrimp dumplings and pork and celery dumplings were average. The fillings were not flavourful.The Middle Plate Chicken was a mixture of boiled chicken and potatoes in a watery and unflavourful broth, with hand-pulled noodles added in the middle of the meal. It was a fair portion size.The Special Cooked Lamb Noodles tasted good, slightly sweet and mildly spicy and was a fair portion size.The only good thing about Silk Road is the low prices for London standards, but that’s only if you want to pay for average quality food. And the manager needs to get off his high horse.
Silk Road has the rudest staff. I cannot believe how rude the staff here are. DO NOT GO HERE if you expect good service. The waiter shouted at us for being 7 minutes late and then asked us to leave. I cannot rate the food as we were effectively banned but the staff have hideous attitude and I would not recommend you go here! I am usually very easy going but this was the worst experience ever!!
Totally amazing flavours. Try the noodles and the Aubergine- truly a treat
