Ugly Dumpling Brixton

Ugly Dumpling is not a typical dumpling restaurant. Born out of a love for street food and a curiosity for global flavours, this cosy spot takes a simple idea of dumplings and spins it into something playful, bold, and a little unexpected.

The menu’s a love letter to fusion: East meets West, comfort meets creativity. With dumpling selections ranging from pork belly and aromatic duck, there's also curry paneer and halloumi and courgette. Unique options are also available with cheeseburger dumplings or mushroom and truffle dumplings.

Everything’s handmade and packed with flavour. It’s clear there’s a serious respect for ingredients here, nothing fussy, just good food done well. Even the sides and desserts (yes, there’s a Nutella dumpling) have that same mix of fun and finesse.

Whether for plant-based, gluten-free, or just dumpling-obsessed, there’s something here that’ll make anyone smile. Ugly Dumpling is less about sticking to rules and more about celebrating food without borders. It's where global fusion feels genuinely personal.
