The Lemur House is the first Street Food business bringing the heart of Madagascar to the UK. It is a family run business which dedicates itself to serving the most mouth watering and delicious dishes inspired by the Malagasy culture.
The first of its kind, we promise not to disappoint! Our aim is to feed hungry mouths with a result that will leave you wanting more each time. After all, it’s not fair to keep such great feasts just to the confides of our own house and kitchen table…
You’ve probably heard about the movie, but as for the food…? Come and try for yourselves!
We will be up and running very soon as for now this blog is set up for you to have an insight on the culture, food and essence of The Lemur House… so watch out for the name and festivals we will be appearing in and of course most importantly….THE FOOD.
The Lemur House 
I read about you in today’s Evening Standard. My wife and I travel to Madagascar every year to work with a mission hospital in Mandritsara. My wife is a doctor and helps in the hospital itself and I am Baptist pastor who helps train local pastors (by translation). We would love to come along on 17 June and perhaps bring some people who have been to the hospital. We live in Hackney so it is not far away.

Hi Kenneth, what a delight! Thank you so much for your message. We to are Christians and have great hopes for The Lemur House in the future. We are actually based in Hackney as well. Would be lovely to see you there! The venue that the event is taking place is actually my local church so if you ever wanted to meet before the event, then please do feel free. What your doing sounds incredible! Great to see you love Madagascar as much as we do and have a passion for it.

Hi there,
I am trying to organise a Malagasy food and quiz night for a small charity fundraiser in the middle of September.
I was wondering if I could get some of your help or advice about this as I’ve been reading about you and think what you do is really great!!

Great presentation to both of you. Its a shame that the hosts weren’t briefed that there is no such word as ‘Madagascan’. The likes of Sainsbury’s have totally ignored our plea’s to amend the spelling on their delicious desserts made with Malagasy vanilla. Pah!
I love all things Malagasy, especially my wife and her amazing family.
Hoping to meet you both on the 17th

Hey Finn!
Thank you so much for your message. I know, it’s frustrating that people don’t know the correct phrasing. That’s great that you are educated on Madagascar! It’s always a pleasure to meet people who love our homeland!
Looking forward to meeting you and your lovely family!
Best,
Prisca

Hey I lived in Madagascar for 2 years and love the food and language and culture and everything about Madagascar in general. I live in Scotland but go to London every so often for a few days. Do you have a shop or restaurant that sells malagasy stuff? I would love to visit if there was such a place.

I’ve only just seen your reply! So myself at Vonjy are based in the Midlands nearr B’ham, but would always be happy to travel if you guys ever had anything on. Thanks so much for getting back to me, it’s proven quite difficult to find Malagasy community here. I imagine London is probably the best place to be!

Hi,
I am Hery and I am from Mada myself but left the country since 1984. With my wife and two British kids we believe there is a place for a great Malagasy foods in the London multicultural cuisine. Any interest in opening a trendy Malagasy restaurant in London? With your talent, the opportunity is there.
