The 30 Best Appetizer plates in London

“We initially came here to try out the cocktails which were delicious, especially the zombie passion fruit. We decided on a taco sharing platter, nachos, buttermilk chicken and bravas for four of us and was perfect, we even had some leftovers. Everything was really tasty. Great service and very efficient.”

“The staff are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is spotless. The food is great and according to the chef proudly made fresh in the back. We were stuffed after our visit but will make a point to go back. Skepasti was delicious!”

“Food is amazing. Service is good. Feels like a family owned business. Atmosphere is just ok, but I wouldn’t come here for a special day. The rolls were really good, and I loved the truffle beef and the black cod. We will come back to try more things from their menu.”

“Tried the chicken shawarma wrap, and it was absolutely delicious! Generous portions, fair pricing, and great flavor. Easily a 5-star experience.”

“I have eaten sushi all over the world, including Japan and mostly major USA cities at some of the best places-this was the best sushi I have ever eaten, hands down. The place is very small (japan style) low ceiling, one chef...just incredible taste and texture. We went early, about 4:15pm for dinner, took a chance and glad we did. No alcohol here either FYI.”

“I visited Tindli By Chef Karnavar restaurant today and really enjoyed my meal. The place was clean and the staff were friendly. I ordered a sea food sadhya, Malabar chicken biryani and Ada Pradaman payasam it tastes really good The portion size was good for the price. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I would come back again.”

“Words can't describe how deliciously lip smacking this food is. And don't even get me started on the service, how yummy the food is and how quick it was served. Genet deserves a certificate. As an injara lover and taster, it is like nothing I have tasted before. If you want an introduction to Ethiopian food, you should DEFINITELY go to this restaurant.”

The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was just right. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Every dish was beautifully presented and paired perfectly with their refreshing drinks. It truly felt like a taste of Greece in the heart of London. What stood out most was the outstanding customer service. The team went above and beyond to make the experience memorable, creating such a positive and enjoyable vibe throughout the meal. Pame Greek is a true gem – fantastic food, great drinks, and service that makes you feel right at home. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Kensington!”

“Visited for the 1st time during lunch and I enjoyed my duck sushi although I’m not a sushi fan. Service was amazing, as I have specific dietary requirements and the waiter was happy to help me find the right sort of items. Also ordered the beef soba noodles and they were very tasty. The price was definitely a bargain for what was ordered! Will be back again when I’m next in the area!!”

“Really nice food. We attended a baby shower party here over the weekend and the food was fantastic. The staff are also very good they made sure all the tables had drinks and frequently topped them up. Cannot fault them one bit and also the chef regularly came out to check on the food. Would definitely come back again”

“You know when you don’t want to share a ‘find’ in case the masses embark and spoil the essence of a place, well that’s Porte Noire in a nutshell! Just had a great eve with superb food and drink at Porte Noire. Had the Xmas set menu and it was excellent and all on a Tuesday night! And don’t be afraid to have the house carafe of red wine from Bordeaux. It was delicious. Wish I had more time (and budget) to sample the rest of the extensive wine menu which looks to be around one of the best in London.”

“Great taste, operated by japanese. We had a happy lunch here.”

“this is without a doubt the best kebab shop in the area. it's a bit further for me but it's worth it. other kebab shops chicken shish always had that one piece that ruins the meal, but these guys don't. thank you again guys i appreciate it”

“An absolute gem – we’re regulars and it never disappoints! We’ve been coming here for years and the food is always spot-on: fresh, full of flavour and genuinely good value for money. The short rib with creamy mash is an absolute standout – tender, rich, comforting and simply delicious every single time. Proper wholesome cooking that leaves you satisfied but never stuffed. What really sets this place apart, though, is David the manager. He’s warm, professional and hands-down one of the most entertaining people you’ll ever meet. He’s built a fantastic team around him too; the service is great, the staff are all friendly and professional. If you’re looking for consistently excellent food, brilliant value look no further. We love it here and can’t recommend it highly enough.”

“Food was so tasty, big portions with good price! I really like the lamb skewers and the green papaya salad. Highly recommended! Also the staff there were so friendly! Definitely worth to visit again!”

“One of the finest Persian restaurants in London! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, enhanced by an excellent DJ and live singer who created the perfect vibe for the evening. The service was truly outstanding. Every detail was spot on, and we left completely satisfied with the entire experience. Special thanks to Saeed, who made our night even more memorable.”

“This is a gem of a place! One of sadly a dwindling number of music pubs remaining. Always a great atmosphere, great bands, lovely staff and landlord, including the gorgeous dogs! And the prices are very reasonable. Please support these venues, they won't last for long otherwise.”

“Fantastic day, warm and welcoming for a Sunday afternoon. The roast was delicious and plentiful. The staff were so great and accommodating. They were a fun and enthusiastic team that made the afternoon thoroughly enjoyable. Particular shoutout to Leah, Aliya and Dani. They were so professional and personable, they made our big group event a great time .”

“Lovely little pub..great value for food! Came back and the new owners are blinding”

“This hidden gem is ideal for casual, nicely priced sushi and other classic Japanese staples. No frills, no extras, just high quality Japanese in a very casual setting. The pieces of nigiri were large and fresh. The teriyaki chicken was well made and tasty. Check out Aburi for a quick, delicious bite!”

“Food is excellent as is service and value. What separated this place for us was the kids menu, honestly the best we'd ever seen. Anywhere. Proper, delicious food and plenty of it. We'll be back without the kids, but that children's menu is this place's superpower.”

“If we have no idea what to cook for the dinner, we will come here to eat the kebab. Their kebabs are delicious, juicy and well season. Usually we love to order the chicken kebab. Also, the restaurant is spacious, clean and tidy. Staffs are friendly. So I also recommend it to my friends.”
