    Everything was great at The Blues Kitchen! The food and drinks (especially the Tequila Colada!) were amazing, the recommendations were spot on, and our waiter Joe was absolutely wonderful. The vibe was great too – there wasn’t live music last night, but it still had a really cool atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

    The staff were wonderful, really friendly service. The drinks were replenished at the speed of light! The restaurant was clean and inviting. We ordered the taco bowl and whilst the protein was seasoned wonderfully it could have done with some more flavor in the salad and rice. The fried donuts were delicious.

    Welcoming and attentive customer service and environment was nice although its got louder (music) and darker (candles were putbout on tables) over the 90 minutes, not sure if that was a part of the experience. Food mediocre and drinks watered down. Booked after seeing an influences review.

    On entering the staff were polite, courteous and pleasant. We were made to feel welcome at all times. I had a Virgin Colada to start off with. The food was lovely full of favour there was no need for salt or pepper at anytime. I ordered the "Blackened Salmon with potatoes and a mango salad with broccoli I had to sample the dessert 🍨 which was equally as nice. My friends also enjoyed their meals. We agreed we would definitely be returning soon.

    Service was top tier. Summer was great from start to finish. She was friendly, polite and really sweet. We didn’t wait for anything. Food portions nowhere near what they used to be. Need to bring back cheeseburger spring rolls. £6 cocktails on a Wednesday you can’t go wrong. Also the cocktails were not watered down and actually had alcohol on them. Defo going back again….. good job Bluez Brixton!!

    Lovely place to eat, tasty food, and really friendly staff. We went to see live music upstairs afterwards and it was great - thanks for making us feel welcome and hosting Kazdoura, a really great band worth checking out.
