Description
Drinking has always been a family affair for two sister's Sevjan Melissa and Akjen Havali who converted their uncle's liquor store into the charming New Cross watering hole that is Birdie Num Nums. Come evening, a constant flow of (increasingly more-ish) refreshment is maintained as tea and coffee eases comfortably into shots and cocktails.
Walking into Birdie Num Nums feels like going to spend an afternoon (and probably long evening) in the sister's shabbily luxe living room. Bright white décor is accented by a jewel coloured wall, faded mural and gold lights which all hint to the family's Turkish heritage and give a warm and honeyed ambience. A piano nestles in the corner waiting patiently to be tinkled upon and there are regular live music events, most recently Lithuanian folk courtesy of Portia Winters. For a quirky and heart warming experience amongst fellow lazy drinkers unwilling to interrupt their languorous imbibing upon nightfall, settle into one of the mahogany sofas for the long haul!
Cocktails are served from 6pm and doors are open until midnight from Wednesday to Sunday. These sisters really care about their beverages, and the excellent and ethically sourced coffee is from Hackney-based company Climpson whilst the tea comes from London-based Birchall's. Food wise, Birdie Num Nums successfully combines more exotic flavours such as falafel and Turkish pastries with nursery school favourites like beans on toast to create a menu as comforting as a duvet.
