What a fabulous addition to Herne Hill and Dulwich Number 22 is. I ate there this weekend with my husband and two friends and must say that we had one of the best meals in a long time!

The service at Number 22 was very friendly and just the right side of relaxed whilst the food was fresh, flavoursome and delicious.

We kicked off our meal at Number 22 with lovely cocktails whilst we browsed the short but varied menu. I shared a paella with my friend which was stunning! It was served in its own pan and packed with beautifully fresh shellfish and succulent chicken. My husband went for the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection with a wonderful sauce. Our other friend (a vegetarian) went for the vegetable salad - again, lovely.

We finished our meal at Number 22 with a wonderful glass of Pedro Ximenex which was a beautifully sticky, sweet sherry. Wonderful!

The restaurant at Number 22 is a little cramped, it's true. That would be my only criticism. However, once seated the furniture is actually bigger and more comfortable than you'll find at your average local restaurant - and Number 22 is a small restaurant after all!

I'll definitely be going back. I'm looking forward to calling in on a Sunday to try the roast! Highly recommended.

I dined at Number 22 last night with my husband and daughter. We booked a table on the recommendation of someone but the whole experience was very disappointing. The service, whilst friendly was very hit and miss. My daughter ordered a Bloody Mary and they had no tomato juice! A waitress ran down the road to buy one then we got charged £6.00, when my husband's gin and tonic only cost £3.50!

We started placing our order only to be told that the king prawns were not available. Why not tell us when handing out the menus? My daughter and myself were served our starter but after an embarrassing wait it was obvious my husband's had been forgotten. He had ordered calamari and yes, you've guessed it, his order had been forgotten.



The service at Number 22 was quite slapdash and did not improve. It is so cramped inside that you feel hemmed in. The food was okay, nothing memorable but I would definitely not go there again. The party to the right of us voiced the same comments as us. When we asked for a jug of water they said they didn't have any jugs! I rest my case.

Beautiful food, decor and service at Number 22. Will definitely go again. Recommended!

Ok. We’ve got a restaurant but what are we gonna call it? Well, we’re at Number 22 and we want people to know that, so why don’t we just call it Number 22!?
Genius.

I went to Number 22 last week with two friends. We were very impressed with the whole experience. The food was very fresh and full of flavour. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. You can also dine in the courtyard at the back of Number 22. I will definitely be going back.
