My partner and i are regular customers at this lovely restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing. The staff are extremely friendly and overall the restaurant has a great atmosphere. I would definetely recommend the lamb shank with vegetable Grattin.

We have eaten here a couple of times and have always found it excellent. The last occasion we went I particularly wanted potatoes, but they were not on the menu. However the staff very kindly prepared some for me specially.

Numidie is absolutely fantastic. My partner and I have been approx 3 or four times. You will not be disappointed with the food here, it regularly changes and never disappoints. All in all this is the place to eat in Crystal Palace. Choose this over Joanna's any day!

We go to Numidie about once every 6 weeks, and have done for a couple of years. The service has always been exemplary, the food has always been gorgeous, the ambience has always been great, and the cute little Parisian bar downstairs has always been buzzing. During the lobster season they did a great value lobster dish, with fennel dressing – we calculated that they’d only added a markup of 25%, which is excellent.

Last night was no exception, their Salad Numidie, basically a Moroccan starter of falafel, humus and leaves and tomatoes, was lovely, fragrant and light and stylish and sexy, the Seafood Bureck was perfect, a lovely balance between sweetness and fish, while the Lamb Tagine was wonderful, good as or better than any I ever tasted in Morrocco, and the crème brullee was spot on, and they didn’t moan when I asked them to serve mine cold, as other restaurants have. The wine list is great, with some eclectic surprises on it, and it’s lovely to be able to wander downstairs for a post-prandial brandy. The best eaterie in Crystal Palace, bar none.

We were looking for somewhere with great food, but not to poncey, and this perfectly fit the bill. The decor is great, with a real eclectic charm. We were there Sunday night after had two courses for £12.50. I did think the portions were a little on the small side (as someone else said), but for £12.50 it still represents excellent value for money. The food was inventive and beautifully cooked, although a little more heat in my vegetables would have been welcome. The service relaxed but always polite. Wine was quite reasonable. For dessert, the creme brulee was indeed splendid, and to be able to finish of with fresh mint tea was a rare treat.

Very authentic French Cooking with one or two berber dishes. We were impressed by the tenderness of medium rare (both) duck breast and fillet steaks ordered. We did not notice skimpy portions or bouillabaisse (not listed) and were struggling to finish main courses after a starter each. The Cahors red wine went very well with the meats ordered and the organic red drew plaudits from a nearby table. Others dishes also looked good (bream on fennel, lamb shanks on couscous). The place is small, candlelit and easy to miss from its narrow tiled entrance outside, but very good, and half to two thirds full on a very rainy wednesday evening.

Mmmm, what a restautant! We went on 1 December and it was fantastic, great food, nicely priced wine and even the bread and butter were lovely. The service was excellent too. My friend, who wouldn't normally say these things, said it 're-defined what creme brulee means'.
