Celebrating heritage in London

“I had a really nice stay, booked myself a private room number 7 with bathroom. It had a big window that opens fully into the inner yard, was lovely. Breakfast is super, English breakfast served by very nice ladies. The place is greatly located next to Hyde Park and metro lines.”

“had 1 chicken shish between two. big big helping. lovely bread thrown in with hummus and another dip. nice chicken. just generous portion of nice simple food at a very reasonable price. enjoyed it. all with a backdrop of great spurs-centric decor!!!”

“I had the best grilled seasoned tilapia, spicy though but delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Nice presentation of food. I’ve been to heritage many times but this was the best meal. It could be that they’ve a new Cheif but I’ll definitely recommend you check it out.”

“Food is good and taste very good far from home still near to home, fish soup is good also. Bun and cheese is good fried dumpling and festival. Natural juice taste like being in Jamaica the only bad I would say is that in this new era they only accept cash”

“Nobu is above the price range where we normally eat out but as we are fans of Nippon food, thought it was worth visiting the grand daddy of Japanese/Peruvian restaurants. It was an enjoyable experience, if dear. Our main waiter was excellent, advising on how much to order, deciding on the sequence and pairing of food arrivals, and instructing us how to best to enjoy certain dishes. This was not the case with all staff who sometimes just dumped dishes on our table. Happily our main waiter stopped by to instruct us to taste the miso black cod on its own first before trying it with the dots of sauce and saving the wand of pickled ginger for the end. Similarly the dry miso powder served with the grilled asparagus was meant to be sprinkled on top, though we also used it as condiment for dipping. First to arrive was a double order of tuna tacos with dry miso. Very delicious, served at room temperature and the seasoning was more reminiscent of truffle than miso. Tiny portion, though, with taco shells just shy 3 inches in diameter. Second to arrive were the star dishes of black cod miso and grilled asparagus with dry miso, both served warm. Portion sizes were thankfully generous. The black cod was delicious because the sweet miso and mirin marinade was applied very thinly and grilled until slightly blackened, so the flavour was complex rather than just sweet. It didn't need the dots of extra marinade mixture on the plate which we both found too sweet. A long thin stalk of pickled ginger was decorative both for its sculptural shape as well as its fuschia to white ombre hue. However, it tasted just like the pickled ginger you normally get with sushi. Asparagus was attractively charred but still succulent so probably blanched prior to grilling. Apologies for the photos as we started tucking into this course before remembering to take a photograph. Next to arrive were chicken skewers with anticucho sauce. Chicken breast was shockingly tender and juicy. I do not know how the kitchen team achieved this texture. Anticucho sauce was okay but nothing special--pretty much the same as in other Nippon restaurants. The garnishes of pickled cauliflower, hijiki and daikon were a lovely contrast. A sweet puree of pumpkin was a nice foil for the anticucho sauce. This portion consisted of two large skewers. Finally our order of maki fillers arrived. We had been unnecessarily worried about tiny portions so ordered a few rolls to fill up on rice. Scheduling these to arrive last was last was a brilliant move on the part of our waiter, as these items were not spectacularly different from maki rolls available at any Japanese takeaway that uses decent fish and serves sushi rice at the correct temperature. I liked the futomaki style house roll served with soy. We also had yellow tail and Jalapeno roll served with ponzu. We took home some maki's in a takeaway box because we were full. The restaurant is windowless in the basement though there is a pretty honey wood decor, recalling both Scandi and Japanese aesthetics. The wood panelling also resulted in excellent acoustics. The disco beats from the bar were far away enough not to be disturbing. Portion sizes were mainly good. I was a little surprised that the only South American ingredient in our order was chilli. We washed down our meal with the cheapest red at £55 which was very pleasant. This is at a price point where we might not dine here again. Dinner for two including the bottle of house wine came to £219. I was glad for the experience and certainly learned some new things to try to reproduce at home.”

“Clean boat, polite service and well priced. Drinks in the boat were awesome. It was a perfect choice on a cold windy day. We got to be warm and still see London from the river.”

“Its one of best Sri lankan reasturant in London with home made authentic Sri lankan food! Highly recommend for friends and family, specially Sunday Buffet £20 such a bargain price for better food,”

“Stumbled upon this gem by complete accident. Will 1000% be coming back. Best curry I've ever had. Incredible staff that are friendly, accommodating and make you feel so welcome. The food was absolutely insane.”

“I have been attending for 5 months and so look forward to my class with our teacher Bittu. He makes the class fun, breaks down the moves and really puts his heart and soul into the sessions with an added touch of humour. The classes are interactive and fun. The routines and songs are changed regularly, to challenge and keep us on our toes (literally) !! Bittu always makes time to go over the basic steps each lesson, and will throw in advanced moves to enable us to realise how much more there is to Bhangra. Look forward to the end of year performance. If you are thinking of joining, don’t think just join !!”

“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.”

“Great service and staff. The flowers for my Fathers funeral were outstanding and everything we could have wished for and more. The staff Listened to our idea's and helped us to achieve the result we wanted adding a keepsake onto them for people to take and cherish as a precious memory. Highly recommend and Thank you all for everything.”

“A great stage school with fantastic teachers who work very hard to get the best out of all of their students. Each year I'm so impressed with their shows which take place at The Towngate Theatre. They are delivered to an extremely high standard and you can tell that all the students love taking part. My daughter loves going to San-Marie!”

“A lovely environment and it has long had probably the best food of all the London gentleman's clubs.”

“Good albeit expensive spot for delicious and decadent Georgian food - the spinach kachapori, the mushroom mains, the pork and the chicken mains are delicious and the honey cake is the perfect dessert to wrap up the meal. The portions are sizeable, which makes the price a bit more worth it. Orders can take a while during busy moments, service otherwise is largely quick and friendly.”

“Went here for dinner on a Friday night. It gets busy so if you can make a reservation! Food was delicious, we had 2 starters and 2 types of tacos with non-alcoolice drinks and the bill came up to ~£50. Staff was friendly and I'd happily go back again!”

“The Royal Albert Hall is nothing short of magnificent — a world-class venue that captures the very best of British culture, history, and performance. From the moment you approach its iconic circular façade, you can feel the sense of grandeur and occasion that sets it apart. Inside, the atmosphere is breathtaking. The auditorium’s architecture, with its sweeping balconies and signature domed ceiling, creates a sense of awe before the performance even begins. The acoustics are truly exceptional — warm, clear, and immersive — making everything from orchestral concerts to contemporary performances feel utterly spellbinding. The staff are consistently professional, friendly, and attentive, adding to the sense of being somewhere truly special. Every visit feels seamless and welcoming, whether you’re attending a major national event or a more intimate performance. What makes the Royal Albert Hall unforgettable is its unique blend of history and living culture. You’re not just watching a show — you’re part of a long tradition of music, ceremony, and celebration in one of the world’s greatest venues. A truly iconic hall where every visit feels like a privilege. An absolute must-experience for anyone visiting London.”

“A refined evening at Kutir London where every detail reflects elegance and passion. The dishes were beautifully balanced, each flavour telling its own story of Indian sophistication. Truly one of the finest dining experiences in London. A special mention to Aaraw , whose professionalism and grace elevated the entire evening. Despite his young age, he carried himself with remarkable confidence and care. It’s rare to see such dedication thank you for making the dinner unforgettable.”

“The best Pizza I’ve ever had in my life! They do so much different food & they’ve mastered it all. Incredible service with even better food. Can’t recommend this place enough genuinely!!!!”

“In my opinion, it's the best Turkish school in London. Our children have been attending for five years. They strive to teach all aspects of Turkish language and culture.”

“Highly recommend here. Visited last week and received some great advice on a wide selection of cigars they have. Montecristo No 4 smoked just as described. Really competitive prices too. 5*”

“A great modern Indian restaurant with a top notch menu with an extensive selection of dishes to try. Each Taylor made to fit with your personal spice levels. Well presented. Excellent in house team who go to great lengths to explain to you the menu and the ethos behind the place. Well worth a visit.”

“A delicious dinner served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food quality was great and the atmosphere was very pleasant.”

“We’ve been coming to this wonderful Greek restaurant ever since we moved to London 3 years ago. The food is always exceptional - authentic, generous and full of flavour. Sadly it’s time to say goodbye to Antonis and his beautiful family, who were always so kind and hospitable. Thank you for making us feel like family and serving the best Greek feast every time! Atlantis is a must visit and we hope to be back one day!! ☺️”

“Abruzzo in London. I've found it now! I've been looking for a place to eat Arrosticini and I've found this newly open restaurant – Orfeo restaurant. The expectations were high as I am from the region of Abruzzo and I wanted to bring my friends to try Arrosticini. From the moment of the booking, all staff was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Marco, the manager, made our dinner special. I felt I was in my home town in Abruzzo. My friends who are from different countries felt amazed by the warm Abruzzo welcoming. The food was fresh and so delicious. Finally, we ate the traditional Arrosticini served in a unique way. My vegetarian friend ate the traditional 'Pallotte Cace e Ove', she really loved it. The restaurant atmosphere was pleasant, ideal for a dinner with friends. A bonus, it is only two minutes walking from the overground. Orfeo restaurant lived up to my expectations. My friends and I will definitely come back soon. Highly recommend!”
