Latest review:

Kricket Brixton is a small venue with a kitchen and long bar. Thus, there are relatively few tables. It could be described as intimate, if you aren’t seated right in the window. The staff are attentive and welcoming. There was no music playing, so not a great deal of ambiance or atmosphere for dinner. This also applies to the menu, which lacks any real “dinner” options. The menu is designed to be shared, with around 9 small plates to choose from and a few sides. We were a party of 5 and 4 of us were still hungry when we left. The issue was in trying to determine the size of the sharing dishes, which turned out to be only enough for one, or two at a stretch. It would have been helpful to read a menu that distinguished which dishes were actual mains sized (or big enough for 2 to happily share). As a result, we ended up ordering 2 or 3 “mains” and 9 or 10 sides. Not really a sensible dinner! The cocktails, although well made, were also a little on the small side. The food was very tasty and well made but sadly lacked spice for an Indian inspired restaurant. So... it’s a good place for a quiet lunch... too expensive and quiet just for cocktails... and okay for a quick dinner, as long as you’re not too hungry.
