Authentic dining experience in London

“We've booked upon cravings of some good authentic italian meal on Mother's day. Deapite it being a busy night,which was expected, the staff managed the rush perfectly and provided friendly and efficient service. We had tasty arancini and fried camembert. The gorgonzola gnocchi were mouthwatering. Premises had a welcoming atmosphere, and the bathroom was sparkly clean and well maintained. We very much enjoyed and look forward to coming again”

“Yummy n Delicious food. Every dish is made to perfection! Excellent vegetarian options and friendly chef and staff! Value for money too. Can't wait to visit again”

“We had a delightful experience ordering from this hidden gem. We were struggling to find Thai places in the area and came across this Thai takeaway on Google maps. We placed an order for the Yellow Curry, Red curry, Pad Thai and Papaya Salad. Richard was responsive over text and incredibly friendly, and regularly kept us updated on our order. The food came fresh and hot, and we could tell that a lot of love, time and care had been taken into making these dishes - they were absolutely delicious and full of flavour. The portion sizes were also very generous. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to have some authentic Thai food. We will 100% be ordering from here again and encourage everyone to support this fantastic local business.”

“Our pizza was made by Chef Gio! Incredibly nice and honest man, our pizza came out delicious! And the service was very good!”

“An Unforgettable Izakaya Experience – A True Hidden Gem in London! What an incredible dining experience! We had the Izakaya course meal and every single dish was absolutely fabulous. The highlight for me was the sashimi – without a doubt, the freshest and most perfectly prepared I’ve ever had, even compared to top spots in Japan. THE OCTOPUS AND ASPARAGUS DISH IS A MUST-HAVE (see pics)! Chef Makoto is a true master of his craft – you can taste the passion, precision, and authenticity in every bite. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it feel like a secret escape to Japan right in the heart of London. This restaurant is a rare find – a genuine hidden gem that deserves to be on every food lover’s list. If you’re looking for an unforgettable Japanese dining experience, this is the place. I can’t wait to come back!”

“Loved their machine roasted chicken and chicken shawarma. Will try their broast”

“Truly delicious and exciting food - highly recommend the pani puri and aloo firecracker. We went on a weekday so it was very quiet and a nice ambience. The manager was rude and abrasive to his staff in front of us which was disappointing, but hopefully a one-off.”

“The best Indian restaurant in town! Have been coming here for years and had many takeaways. It never disappoints. The standard of food is consistently high. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

“This is my go to place for authentic African food, you can tell it was made with love! The owner is EXTREMELY KIND! and welcoming which made the whole experience truly special, showing genuine care for my satisfaction. Her attentiveness created a personal touch that made my meal even more enjoyable. It’s clear she takes great pride in her restaurant and providing excellent customer service. The suya was incredibly flavourful, with a perfect balance of spices, I also loved the jollof with plantain and spicy turkey bites. Despite being a takeout order, the food was well-packaged and arrived hot. when I placed my order the staff were efficient. Overall, a fantastic experience and I highly recommend their delicious food!”

“I recently dined at Kashi, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy meal with family or friends. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the delicious spread of Indian dishes. We started with the chats, which were bursting with flavor and had the perfect balance of spices and textures. Moving on to the main course, the dal makhani was rich and creamy, exactly how it should be. The veg makhanwala was equally impressive, with a delightful blend of vegetables in a luscious, buttery sauce. The naans were simply outstanding – soft, fluffy, and the ideal accompaniment to the curries. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise. Overall, Kashi exceeded our expectations with its superb food and excellent service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine.”

“I had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Everything tasted authentic and freshly made. On top of that, the service was excellent. The waitress, Dhruvi, was not only incredibly kind and attentive, but also super cute! She really added a warm and friendly vibe to the whole evening. Highly recommend this place!”

“My sister and I had a lovely time at Aladin tonight for dinner. Jack was our server and he was polite and very friendly. The food was incredible- I have come here a few times before and I am always happy. Will definitely be back!”

“Food is excellent and great value!! It was so good we went back for second time during our stay!! All staff are friendly , great atmosphere. We sure will go back again next time we visit London!”

“Authentic South Indian food, really good and very friendly. Had a variety of dosas (eg rava, ghee roast, podi), uttapam, mango lassi etc. Fresh gulab jamun without excess sugar was delicious. Will definitely go again!”

“Enjoyed every bit of the pizza we ordered. 3rd time here in 1 week. Great service”

“Absolute gem! Popped in with two of my friends and everything was perfect. If you like sweet-flavoured dishes, go for the Cola Pork Ribs with Rice Cakes, the Plum Powder Potato Tower, and the Black Pepper Honey Beef. If you’re into bold Sichuan flavours, the Guan Gong Spicy Beef and the Salt and Pepper Lotus are both amazing. Mango and Taro Flavoured Rice Cakes are a must-try after-meal delight — they go perfectly with the condensed milk dipping. Portions are generous, prices are fair for London, and the staff were super friendly. Will definitely be back!”

“I had a really lovely Saturday lunch at Pizza Pilgrims, I went there with two of my friends, the staff was amazing, Carmen, Joe and Ripon were very friendly and also the rest of the staff!! We started with some artichokes, cacio and pepe balls and provolone fried were absolutely amazing, then I had the mushroom and truffle might seems heavy but was very balanced, my friend had margherita and diavola they looked amazing. Special mention to Carmen and Ripon that came to sing happy birthday to me ❤️!!”

“Ended up here spontaneously on our second date, and it turned out to be the best decision because wow, the food did not disappoint. We ordered the Meat Supreme, and it was incredibly crispy without being too doughy. I genuinely wish I could experience that first bite all over again. The ranch sauce was a bit rich on its own, so something spicy to cut through it would’ve been perfect. The turnover is quite fast, as people tend to eat and leave, so seating wasn’t an issue even on a Saturday. The staff were also really friendly. I can’t wait to come back.”

“Wonderful. That probably doesn't do it justice. The location is idyllic. The house is gorgeous and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. We sat outside as it was a lovely day with a spectacular view across the valley. We went for the set menu. It's not cheap but actually it's not unreasonable for the quantity and quality of the food. A few surprises (ants - deliberately - on the sushi) which were utterly delicious. We had different choices and every one of them was fantastic. Service was brilliant - friendly and informative - and the whole experience was unrushed, relaxed and sublime. Couldn't have had a better celebration of our anniversary. I also can't reccommend it enough.”

“1st time using New Anarkali. Takeaway was delicious.This is how it should be done. Delicate tasty food without the oilyness and with a unique fresh and vibrant taste. Had been using the Viceroy forever but Anarkali beats them hands down on every level. Very friendly and even called me back an hour or so after we had finished to make sure we were happy with the food. Will most definitely return and intrigued to try more of their dishes This will be our new go to Indian from now on.”

“Tasty food , attend party on first floor of this restaurant. Food was tasty , service was amazing .. 10/10”

“I'm (being Indian) usually not a big fan of eating Indian food at restaurants in the UK, but yesterday, we were starving in the late afternoon and decided to try a new place. We went to Yaadein Authentic Indian Restaurant in Stoneleigh, Epsom , and I was impressed! The lamb chops (not in the picture) and Shish kebab were so soft—better than what I’ve had at most restaurants. I also ordered a thali, and it was just as delicious. Highly recommend checking it out !”

“I have eaten a lot of pizza across the whole of London over the last 10 years and Sorrento In is genuinely the best I've had. This is judged on a margherita which in my opinion allows the most important ingredients shine through and Sorrento In's does exactly that. The tomato sauce is next level along with the taste of the dough. Closest I've had to traditional Italian pizza in London - simple as that. I'll be back, obviously!”

“3rd time here and was not disappointed. The king prawns were cleaned, cooked tastily and FRESH. We loved the lamb briyani, ample portions, even brought our friends here. Pappadam was amazing. Traditional bangla fish curry was great too. Would highly recommend and in my opinion presents better overall value than Dishoom.”

“This was an incredibly positive experience. I came here for lunch today with five friends, which we booked online. The waiters were very attentive,friendly and talked through the menu which was fresh, featuring mainly local or UK-sourced ingredients. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I loved the creative fusion and the clever multi-use of the space as both a local atelier and a restaurant. Definitely a five-star experience.”

“Khan G Kababish is hands down one of the best places for Lahori food in town! Their Lahori Nashta is absolutely amazing — from the crispy halwa puri to the rich, flavorful nihari and chana, everything tastes just like home. The parathas are perfectly cooked, the lassi is refreshing, and the overall vibe makes you feel like you’re sitting in a classic Lahore dhaba. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the portions are generous. Every dish is full of authentic spices and aroma — you can tell it’s made with passion and care. If you’re craving real Pakistani food, especially traditional Lahori breakfast, Khan G Kababish is the place to go. Highly recommended!”

“Authentic and truly delicious Indian food right here! The ambience is lovely, the staff are friendly, and the drinks are great — definitely try their cocktails. The special prawns and the different varieties of chicken tikka are a must-try; you’ll love them. They have loads of tasty curries and a good range of soft drinks too. We tried the mango lassi — it was superb! The kids really enjoyed the desserts, and the portion sizes for every dish were generous. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for genuine Indian flavours and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!”

“First time eating here. Very impressed. Food was great and very fairly priced. Staff very friendly and helpful.”

“I was able to attend with my co-workers and the food was amazing. The only thing that was a little slow was ordering our main courses. I think I asked the server 5 times to order our main course. Overall it was amazing and the karaoke was good. I thought about singing but I didn’t speak the language. I hope to go again next time I’m in town”

“Excellent food and service. There are so many curry restaurants on Brick Lane - how do you choose? Well, luckily we chose this one. It’s fantastic. Nice and cool in the heatwave too. Great food, good value and excellent service especially Niaz. Really enjoyable.”
