"Khamsa is very good place to eat the fact that it is run by a husband wife duo with no extra help (an accountant and a lawyer in their previous lives , however, makes it great. The menu suits this home style approach to catering: cold starters (less work for the kitchen , and hot mains. Very little salt in the starters, which is what I would expect if I was eating from, for example, my mother 's kitchen. This is no Gordon Ramsay approach where butter and salt are used to airbrush food into peaks of rich fragrance at Khamsa, it 's the ingredients that do the talking. The peppers, the tomatoes, the smoky chargrilled meats, the unadulterated cous cous. Whether you prefer rich cooking or this more stripped back approach, there is room for it on the London food map. (Though I am more of the butter and salt variety! My friend and I share starters, an Algerian salad with loads of peppers and tomatoes, and a dip made with aubergine and walnut. These are served straight from the fridge which makes them too cold to appreciate all the flavour nuances, but our wonderful, marvellous, moist bread melts these chilly foods into bliss the bread is legendary. Just go and order bread, bread with olive oil, and you 'll eat like a king. My main is called Modern Cous Cous, which is cous cous topped with a variety of juicy grilled meats, with a bowl of vegetables and broth on the side. I love all of this, but am mindful that I don 't know the provenance of the meats (this is not specified on the menu , so eat with a mixture of trepidation and guilt (I don 't usually order mystery meats but want to do this small is beautiful concept justice. Desserts are small Algerian pastries which you choose from their display. Nice enough, but of Khamsa 's baked goods, the bread continues to stand out. Lovely little enterprise, family run and loved from top to bottom. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the neighbourhood who wonders what their family would cook like if they were Algerian."

The food was really good; fresh, tasty and made with love! Service was great, a really nice evening from a couple who clearly care about what they do.

Restaurant closed, even if we booked a table. We left from Watford to have a 1hours journey to reach the restaurant, and it was closed. Amazing experience

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday meal. I was impressed by the whole experience and more importantly so was she. The restaurant had a very nice ambiance, the owners were friendly and pleasant and the food was very nice! I would (and will) definitely return Voir le carte

Situated on the rapidly gentrifying part of the Acre Lane between Clapham High Street and Brixton, Khamsa has upped its game and offers an interesting addition to the already wide range of ethnic restaurants. Its been serving Algerian dishes (a variation of the familiar Tunisian and Moroccan cooking) for 7 years, but recent smartening has taken the place up market. Still no liquor licence, so the bring your own option makes it excellent value for money. We certainly intend to go again.

Very pleased with our dining experience at Khamsa. The restaurant was a little quiet when we arrived, but it soon picked up. Very attentive staff and the chef even came out to ask if we'd like to try the gluten free couscous he makes from scratch on the premises. We had the 7 salad platter for 2 to start, with homemade poppyseed bread a selection of different salads (couscous, beetroot and fennel, chickpea etc) which was very fresh and surprisingly filling. For the main we both had the modern couscous with lamb and chicken skewers and spicy mergers sausage. This was really tasty, and with so much meat! Too full for dessert, but we did have some lovely fresh mint tea. NB Khamsa doesn't have a...
