Authentic restaurant in London

“Great food, decent cleanliness and good biryani.”

“I really appreciated our hostess/waitress looking after us. This was more of a small family restaurant you would find in Italy or the Balkans where the menu is verbally told and some things were simply not ready at the time we arrived. However, having had the soup and burek we were both very happy with how delicious it was. Unlike a lot of London restaurants the food was more like how my serbian grandma used to make, warm and filling. Thanks for having us and we will be back again soon.”

“Fantastic food! I had the mixed fish and my partner had the mixed grill. It was phenomenal. They have a lovely kids menu too; my daughter had the tomato penne pasta which she loved. The cocktails are delicious and the restaurant atmosphere and decor is lovely. Highly recommend!!”

“The experience here has been nothing short of wonderful. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at ease. The staff provides excellent service—attentive, friendly, and always ready to help—ensuring that every visit is pleasant and satisfying. The owner is incredibly friendly and truly special to me, adding a personal warmth that makes every visit feel even more memorable. Dolice Napoli is an Italian-based shop that beautifully blends authentic flavors with a cozy and stylish setting. I’ve tried their Lasagne and Pesto Pasta, and both dishes are absolutely delicious—rich, fresh, and full of true Italian taste. I also enjoy a latte or cappuccino there every day, and each cup is consistently smooth and satisfying. With its high-quality food, welcoming atmosphere, and the heartfelt presence of its wonderful owner, Dolice Napoli is a place you’ll always look forward to returning to.”

“The experience was truly fantastic. The atmosphere felt super cozy and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. Definitely a place I’d come back to.”

“Postbox is a real gem among Indian restaurants that can be found on the map of London. The owner and staff were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is amazing. This is one of those restaurants that should be included in every Taste of London where the best restaurants have the opportunity to show off their dishes Instagram @dininginlondon”

“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”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Yasmin Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented — every dish was full of authentic taste and care. The service was exceptional; the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal with friends or family. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be coming back soon!”

“Giulia is a lovely neighbourhood restaurant with amazing food. The menu changes monthly with focus on seasonal produce, so it is always a fantastic experience (needless to say I go literally every month to try the new menu). Can’t recommend it enough. One of my absolute favourites.”

“If you want a break from the hustle & bustle of daily life and want to experience delicious home cooking in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, then Shabelle Restaurant is a compelling option! Highly praised by customers and peer businesses alike they are a visit worth making.”

“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”

“The experience was very good and the waiters are so friendly. I come here with my college mates or family and we always get good service. Food is lovely and tasty. Good price as well”

“Came barking to visit family and we ate here. The place was very clean and the food was delicious and very welcoming staff”

“My 1st visit was November 24 and somehow I got mixed feelings for this place. After reading good reviews and that they have been rewarded one of the best when I went there felt a little disappointing. Stuff were absolutely chaotic and shouting to one another not paying attention to clients. The menu was missing many meals who can you have a fish section and only serve prawns and no other fish. I ordered keema naan and it was crispy and had like a blob of meat in the middle. Most of the food I eat in other places is far better. The atmosphere with this blue light is blinding.”

“What a pleasant experience. We were greeted at the door and seated by the friendly "Ben" who anticipated our needs throughout the evening. Ben brought us some complimentary warm focaccia and olives to nibble on while we made our menu choices. The menu has a good balance of dishes and I quickly decided on my choices along with a bottle of Ramaro for the table; I have a soft spot for Sicilian red wine. All dishes were well plated and tasted as good as they looked. The portions were also very generous, perhaps "Mama" was in the kitchen dishing the plates. After the meal, there was little room left for dessert, so I shared a panna cotta with my wife; I have to say that it was the best I've ever tasted. My only regret is that I didn't choose one of the seafood dishes, they looked realy appetizing. My relationship with crustacions has always been one where no matter what precautions I take while shelling them, a jet of oil always squirts out and slashes me on my shirt. Perhaps next visit I'll wear on old shirt or a bib; perhaps both.”

“I had the Linguine Granchio at Bella Vita last night and it was absolutely fantastic — perfectly cooked pasta with tender, flavorful crab in a light, aromatic sauce that tasted incredibly fresh. For dessert, the Tiramisu was heavenly — creamy, rich, and just the right balance of coffee and sweetness. Every bite was pure Italian delight! The service was friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

“For a small place the service is always great, been here many times. No license, so bring your own wine/beer. Food is always freshly prepared and very tasty.”

“Excellent meal! We had the set menu, and it was delicious, really friendly staff and lovely atmosphere!”

“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!”

“The food was delicious and authentic. We chose a weekend and were lucky with a sunny day, so chose to sit outside. Considering it was a weekend, service was a bit slow, but understandable.”

“I had such a fantastic experience at Nimtoh! The food was absolutely delicious – full of authentic flavors and cooked perfectly. The dumplings were fresh and juicy, and the korean fried chickens were some of the best I’ve ever had. Kimchi was second to none. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. You can tell the team really cares about both the food and their customers. Nimtoh is a real gem – highly recommended!”

“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.”

“Our first time here and we will never go anywhere else. Husband is a Northern curry snob and was very impressed! Fresh dishes with unique flavours. Fabulous”

“I wish I could remember the name of the guy that served us today because he was excellent. We were the first in today and our food was fresh, delicious and the general environmental was lovely. Thank you so much. We will definitely come back here again. Probably one of the best Indian meals we have ever had. Kudos to the chef, and to the whole team, thank you guys.”

“Not the first visit but thought time to review. Lovely atmosphere, great service & tasty food. We’ll definitely be back soon!”

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

“Amazing dinner, quiet on a Sunday so was perfect to pop bye. Love supporting local businesses, and what better way than to have authentic Thai food. Surprisingly easy to park on the side road, so I’ll be back!”

“Absolutely stellar value for money. Fresh, flavourful food. Amazing service. Highly recommended. Potentially the best place for simple Indian staples in Cutty Sark if not in Greenwich.”
