Street food from Osaka. Come to Okan and we'll tell you about our passion — Simple and delicious food, just the way it is served and eaten in the west parts of Japan.

Okan Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki is a savoury pancake, often served in tiny shops.

Each shop will have its own character.

I have been serving okonomiyaki from street stalls around Brick Lane since 2002.

With Okan in Brixton I want to introduce a new experience of okonomiyaki, served with a wide variety of toppings.

I hope you feel a back street of Osaka in Brixton.

24 Granville Arcade, SW9 8PR Eritrean Cosy Eritrean restaurant with great traditional coffee It is best to arrive at this cosy Eritrean restaurant a little later in the evening and gather round a big injura – a huge sour pancake onto which curries are spooned, leaving everyone to tear bits off to scoff, all in a hazy aroma of the well shaken traditional coffee.

386 Coldharbour Lane, SW9 8LF 020 7737 4144 THE AVOCADO CAFE Avocado based market stall If you are partial to an Avocado then head here for a tasty selection of Bruschettas, sandwiches and salads, they have appeared at the Station Road market on the first and third Friday of each month, but check their website or twitter feed for the latest news of their whereabouts.

75 Atlantic Road, SW9 8PU 020 7396 0609 BLUE TURTLE OASIS Coffee House Welcome addition to Loughborough Junction Some great coffee can be found at this little new, easily missed place in Loughborough Junction, although be warned there is a fairly limited range of snacks on offer.

ES Food Newsletter Brixton’s dining scene is among the most dynamic in London, thanks in no small part to the hubs of Brixton Market, Brixton Village and Pop Brixton which have acted as incubator hubs for new foodie businesses.

A few months back I reviewed Kaosarn, a stonking Thai restaurant in an old covered market a short walk from my home in Brixton, south London.

It speaks volumes for Brixton Village that it would be impossible for me to write about everything there, but some ventures demand to be mentioned and Honest Burgers, part of a recent revolution in London burger quality, is one of them.

The newest arrival in Brixton Village is Mama Lan's (Unit 18), a tiny space which grew out of a British-Chinese gal's supper club and blog.

If eating the entire menu at Mama Lan's hasn't filled you up, go round the corner to Elephant (Unit 55), a tiny Pakistani street-food café serving vivid, turmeric-bright chicken curries at £6 a plate, with soft, buttered breads.

Around the corner from there is the Brixton Village Grill (Unit 44), a dark-painted, substantial-looking Portuguese piri-piri house serving salt-grilled sardines, spicy chicken wings and hunks of flame-grilled leg and breast for £8.50.

Cheap eats abound in Brixton Village Market these days, and Okan delivers on this front.

As the name suggests (okonomi means ‘as you like it’), you can put pretty much anything into your batter mix, but pork, squid or kimchi are popular choices.

A veggie-friendly combination of cheese, sweetcorn and rice cakes (mochi) made for an enjoyably chewy texture and plenty of flavour, though it got harder to pinch bits off with our chopsticks as the stuffed pancake hardened.

Yakisoba, with slivers of pork and pickled ginger (benishoga), was perfectly al dente and filling, though less tangy from worcestershire-style sauce than usual.

The thrill of an okonomiyaki restaurant often comes from watching the pancake cook before your eyes, but not here – there aren’t the facilities.
