Camberwell Church Street's Xinjiang, Kurdish, Lebanese Restaurants Draw Diners

Camberwell Church Street packs in Silk Road at 47 Camberwell Church St for Xinjiang lamb skewers, Nandine for Kurdish dishes, Falafel and Shawarma for Lebanese falafel and The Camberwell Arms at 65 Camberwell Church St for its Sunday roast.

The street sits at the centre of a neighbourhood that serves students, families and professionals through independent cafés, pubs and restaurants. This setup has built Camberwell a reputation as a South London dining destination that mixes Xinjiang, Ethiopian and Eritrean, Turkish and other cuisines without relying on chains.
