Authentic restaurant experience in Welling

“104 Restaurant by Richard Wilkins is very small (max 16 covers) but, for me, is a perfect restaurant. The food is outstanding (as good as any Michelin starred restaurant). The service was excellent, friendly and informative and there was a lovely ambience where you could enjoy the food, wine and your friends/family. I couldn't recommend it more highly!”

“If you have never had adjarian khachapuri, have you even lived? The chicken thighs were nice and the mushroom dumplings delicious, but the khachapuri is really the star of the show! Absolutely stunning. It's a decent size and quite heavy, so share between at least two people if you're going for the mains, but honestly as far as I'm concerned it's all you need. I'd come back just for that and have only that. Food was slow to come out but piping hot and fresh when it did, and the service very friendly. I will say that if you're sensitive to noise, make sure to sit outside. The place is very small and the acoustics horrible, so when a very loud group came in it was quite insufferable. But that's the only negative.”

“We have twice travelled far just to go to this lovely little restaurant. Authentic Italian food - truffles, which are hard to come by - and friendly owners. A very small restaurant but it is charming and unique, and the food and wine are great. A refreshing change from the many big chain restaurants out there!”

“We had the most beautiful breakfast here! We are from Melbourne and this is one of the best coffees we have had!!! The med eggs 10/10 and the staff were so lovely! A must visit”

“Lovely family owned restaurant where father and son provided me amazing fresh food chicken shish with rice and salad. Authentic Turkish food , great people and great Turkish Tea.”

“Always superb food and excellent service at this restaurant. I have been using this restaurant for 20 years and have never had a bad meal.”

“Such a good place! We enjoyed a lot, we went late to dinner and still they gave service to us. We are from Spain and really enjoyed the food. Congrats not many restaurants gets the Spanish taste!!”

“I recently visited EatThai with my family on a Saturday night, and it was a pleasant surprise. Despite expecting it to be busy, the restaurant was relatively quiet. The food was very tasty, and the service was good. The menu was extensive, which made it a bit challenging to choose, so we had to ask for recommendations. Overall, it was a nice experience, and we enjoyed our meal.”

“ordered sichuan style chicken and chicken shredded noodles and kung pao chicken and singapore noodles. it was very yummy i will definitely come again! very cheap also !! u all should try. service was so nice the man was very sweet”

“I have been using L`Antico for many years, as have many of the faces I see there every week, In the last few months there have been a spate of Malicious reviews that seem fake as the description given for the restaurant does not match the actual restaurant. before that time the reviews are good Google have a responsibility to check the authenticity of these reviews and make sure they are from verified users most of the reviews in the last few months are from people that do not have a profile and have only made one or two reviews in most cases the second review is advertising a service of some kind I believe these reviews are fake and have been generated to damage a small family owned business the bad reviews started a few months ago some while the family were closed for their annual holiday below are a few examples and a correction of their description of the venue I could have put more corrections from that period but the text was to long for google reviews Marie Deniger asked for a quite area for 8 people, the restaurant is one big open plan room, she states she was seated next to the kitchen door , there is no door to the kitchen, the entrance to the kitchen is behind the bar, she states the chairs are plastic , the chairs are made of wood, she states that her uncle's soup was cold, but there is no soup on the menu, she says she ordered a birthday cake,as far as i know the restaurant does not buy in birthday cakes however I have seen customers bring special cakes in this type of occasion.(with the owner's consent) (description is inconsistent with the actual restaurant) Zacharie Gendoron states the carpet was stained and frayed, there is no carpet in the restaurant, he states the walls are faded, the wall are brilliant white (see website photo) he states that several lights were broken and flickering, there are no lights that are broken or flicker, he states he was seated at a table that was still dirty from a previous customer, i have spent a lot of time in the restaurant and as soon as a diner leaves the tables are cleaned and wiped and reset (description is inconsistent with the actual restaurant) again 1 review Dylan Rowley states The restaurant's interior looked tired and dated, with worn upholstery the photos of the restaurant on the website are up to date, he states he was uncomfortably cold. his review was from a month ago(height of summer) his description of the food is either to hot or to cold almost as if he had asked AI to generate a bad review, he also states that he had to wait 45 mins for his starter, i have never seen anyone wait more the 10mins for a starter, and that includes days when there is a Chelsea home fixture review from 1 month ago, again description is inconsistent with the actual restaurant Danyelle J Williams states she was seated in a cupboard next to a toilet, the restaurant is open plan you cannot sit next to a toilet you can however sit near a room that leads to the toilets you have to go in to a room separate form the dining area and then in to a toilet both doors would have to be open (main door is spring loaded to close, and then the diners would have to be silent then if you are lucky you might hear a flush, she states prices have increased i don't know one business that is immune from prices increases, she states the the pizza size has shrunk, i have had many pizza`s over the years they remain the same size they ever were, a pizza cannot have a cold top and a hot underside that's not how a pizza oven works ( unless you are having a topping added after it has been cooked like rocket) she states that her dessert never arrived, the dessert display is in the centre of the restaurant you can almost reach it with an outstretched arm the staff are always in the centre of the of the restaurant so this is unlikly, review from 1 month ago, again description is inconsistent with the actual restaurant visit L`Antico and see for yourself then write a verified review based on a real experience”

“This place is the real deal, no holding back on spices and portion sizes. Seeing Masala Thumbs up on the menu was a treat - just like I had remembered it. I look forward to returning - there were several other things on menu I would have loved to order.”

“Delicious food, big portions and friendly staff. If you're in the area definitely should try!”

“No idea what it’s called (the waitress juggled the dishes names but I still had no idea), asked for a takeaway of lamb with veg & rice that I’ve noticed behind the window while walking by. The food deliciously soft, great salad, served by a blonde ponytail waitress- extremely attentive, quick & polite- thank you!”

“Great food and service ! Went to the restaurant for lunch and the food was delicious. We were checked up on and left on a positive note. Will visit again and do recommend.”

“A basic self serve canteen offering delicious, home-style Indian food. The staff are exceedingly friendly. The food is excellent and the value is unbeatable especially for central London. Don’t over order as the portions are very generous.”

“The food tasted very good, just as we wanted! The service and entertainment was very friendly! The whole environment felt the atmosphere of the house all the time! Sanuk is the best for those who want to spend some time in silence! Staff will get 10 on 10 from me! I am very happy, came twice, hope to come again!!”

“Try to book table for my partner because of his birthday dinner but all tables booked. Don’t like to disappoint him so call to customer service for help and you know what they tried to arrange a table for us in short time window. OMG they saved mu as life. We always love Giggling Squad and always try their food wherever we are. Best service, great and delicious food. Atmosphere always on top and perfect location as well. Highly recommend and really appreciate for helping me out.”

“Fantastic spot for dinner! The portions were generous, and the flavors were rich without being overwhelming. Excellent service from start to finish.”

“Fantastic food! I agree with the other reviews, I would have missed it had I not seen the reviews about it being downstairs and located outside the hotel. I had to wait a few minutes for the door to be answered but once inside the food and service did not disappoint. I would come back again. The butter chicken was fantastic”

“We took this venue for a private hire and it was incredible. Guests got to choose from the menu even though we were 60 plus people. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Food was great, generous portions and good mix on the menu. Bottomless drinks were plentiful with rarely an empty glass. Great communication throughout. Highly recommended”

“Had the pleasure of tucking into their delicious Arancini at the Colchester Food Festival and was not disappointed. Absolutely delicious and such friendly service!!! Eccellente!!! I’ll definitely be visiting their website to order some for home!!”

“Really enjoyed it. Lovely food and staff”

“Had a nice dinner with my friend here. I’m a big fan of the Braised Pork Belly! Other dishes we ordered were also very nice. Would love to come back and try the hot pot some other day.”

“A top sourdough pizza spot, with a top view from level 6 of Peckham Levels. The seasonal specials are fab. Highly recommended!”

“Really quick delivery and great price for quality pizza”

“If you need a solomon fish no fear bones come here and relaxy”

“A favourite of mine for a couple of years now, and that’s even before their recent renovation, which looks fantastic. Consistently good and dependable, with my go-to order being their delicious chapli kebabs.”

“My first visit to this fine establishment came by invitation from a dear friend. Since its founding in 1958, Maharani has stood as a cherished landmark of authentic Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine, right in the heart of South London. From the outside, it may appear to be a typical Indian restaurant, but step inside and you are greeted by a stylishly modern décor that sets it apart. Even more exciting, the owner shared plans for a complete refurbishment, which will introduce a fresh, contemporary ambience while preserving the restaurant’s unwavering commitment to culinary excellence. Our party of four embarked on a memorable culinary journey guided by recommendations from our generous host and the accomplished manager, Alex—a Scotsman delightfully at home running an Indian curry house. We began with starters of crispy Bengali Fried Sardines and succulent Lamb Shashliks served with fluffy Peshwari Naan. The main courses were simply outstanding: a beautifully slow-cooked Parsi Lamb Dhansak, a rich and flavourful Chittagong King Prawn Bhuna, and an array of classic sides including Tarka Daal, Saag, and crisp Bhajis. Each dish was faultless—bursting with authenticity and flavour. Equally impressive was the service. The waitstaff went above and beyond—whether because we were special guests or simply a reflection of their natural hospitality, it made the evening all the more special. Altogether, it was an unforgettable dining experience—Maharani truly lives up to its reputation, and I left with both my appetite and my heart deeply satisfied. Ahmed Hussain 22 Sep 2025”

“Tried the special lunch menu. Plenty of space during the weekdays and pleasant service. Great place to go to on your lunch break if you'd like something hot and filling. The chicken green curry was very good.”

“Mixed reviews on this place, but we had a great experience. All the food was spot on, tried the mongolian lamb, and the thai pineapple rice and they were both lovely. Everything else we ordered was got and fresh and tasted great. Service with a smile, very happy customers”
