Creative flavors in London

“The Dialogue Café — Where Mornings Begin with Meaning Whether you're easing into the day or diving into work, The Dialogue Café offers a welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful food, and a sense of community. It’s the kind of place where breakfast feels like a ritual — not just a meal. Why it’s a breakfast favourite: Fresh pastries and sourdough toast — flaky, warm, and comforting Avocado toast with poached eggs — simple, elegant, and satisfying Shakshuka or Turkish eggs — bold, spiced, and full of character Smooth coffee and herbal teas — well-brewed and gently energising Friendly staff and clean design — makes you want to linger”

“The best sushi in town! The atmosphere and recipes are authentic. The staff were extremely polite, and even though we arrived at the restaurant late, they didn't rush us to leave and provided us with excellent service. This is definitely a place to visit if you're in London. Although we were fortunate enough not to wait in line, I recommend making a reservation.”

“Great selection, very reasonably priced. Love the selection of fresh fruit from South America, Sumol drink and peach juice”

“Booking was easy online. While I needed to make a time change which required a phone call, it was quick and easy to do. We went for the all you can eat tacos, but found so many yummy things on the menu we ordered other items instead. The Ghost Rider Marguerita was delicioso, the homemade chips and guacamole was excellent (pomegranate seeds were a nice touch), the Mexican Fattoush salad was fantastic - finally some health vegetables on my holiday! The chicken and carne asada tacos were small yet superb. We could have ordred another plate, if we wanted, but opted for desert instead. The Empinada for me with chantilly creame was a perfect end. My wife apprciates ambiance, which Madera has even without the 15th floor view. Though of course, having the best meal on our holiday, while watching the sunset over London was a perfect end to our day. Last, but not least Sabuj took attentive care of us all throughout our experience. We are already planning on returning soon.”

“Me and my friend had bottomless brunch here yesterday and we had such a lovely time. The food was so nice, the restaurant is stunning and it was a nice atmosphere. A huge thank you to our waiter Radu for making our experience at the restaurant memorable, he was so friendly, polite and attentive, an outstanding waiter.”

“The Biscoff Cookie pies and pancakes are amazing. I received my order via delivery and it all came warm great portion sizes as well and secure packaging. I will definitely be ordering again!!”

“I’ve been to many restaurants, those which include restaurants that have multiple Michelin stars. I am super critical with reviews, but I never thought it would come to the day I would say this.. but this food “is food that brings you back home… back home to your mother”. That’s so rare in this day and age and think how much of an expert someone has to be to create that with Thai food for someone coming from Sri Lankan origin. Every ingredient is fresh, the blend of spices, the quality of meat and the food expertly made brings a dish which is truly homemade and delicious. I have never experienced anything that tastes truly homemade from a restaurant outside the home. I feel great after eating this too compared to other takeaways as it’s so natural. This is hands down the best restaurant in St Albans. Kat and her partner are such a superb couple running this restaurant, they are incredibly kind and accommodated to a special birthday request. They both came out and greeted us, which was super kind of them and proved many things but the biggest.. this is homemade food, food made from the heart. You want to try true Thai food.. don’t bother with the £800 flight, come here - to this very place a drive away in a lovely home situated in St Albans and you will experience it first hand. Well done and thank you - see you again soon.”

“The Vegan Bistro is one of my favourite places for breakfast and lunch. I absolutely love their overnight oats with poached apples which I usually enjoy after my morning practice at Triyoga Shoreditch. They are absolutely delicious. Their Acai bowl is to die for! What a TREAT! I often buy their Buddha bowls and Biryani for later as a lunch option. As spoiled as we are in Shoreditch, I must admit that it is not that easy to find a FULLY vegan place that offers takeaway as well. All the food options can also be enjoyed at the premises. Not only the food is delicious and nutritious but it is also extremely well-balanced. This is a very important, often overlooked, aspect. So, I really appreciate it. On top of everything, they offer great coffee. If you are into strong espresso, this is the place for you. The staff is super friendly and attentive.”

“Had a fantastic experience with Anna @milky.onion ! Tattoo was a coverup/ rework of a previous tattoo and she came up with a design that was absolutely perfect! Anna spent time making sure I was happy with placement and was so lovely throughout the process! I am so happy with my new tattoo and will definitely be going back to Anna for more!! The studio itself was super clean with the team member at reception being very nice and welcoming! Would definitely recommend Anna & the studio!”

“Genuinely, the nicest pizza I think I’ve ever had. If you’re in London - you should go! We tried a few different ones as they had some menu and some specials and all of them were yummy! The staff were all super friendly, and you can tell they put their heart and soul into this! It’s in a great setting at the brewery, amazing pizza, decent booze, really fun atmosphere!”

“I like it. The sushi was not cheap as what I expected but it was delicious. The bubble tea also wasn’t too sweet even at 100%. So overall, for Chiswick “fast food” sushi, this would be where I’d go next time.”

“Delicious Syrian food made with great ingredients and care (eg use of saffron in sauces). Particularly recommend the baba ghanoush and the Mashi (very unusual, I’ve never seen this before in the UK). Maher is also a super friendly, charismatic host. Strongly recommend.”

“I'm not vegan but the food tasted delicious. Lovely atmosphere, chilled and warm. Will definitely go back again. Stephanie.”

“After applying for a US visa, I came here randomly, about 10 minutes walk from the US embassy. The attitude of the store is very good, especially the Japanese fried noodles taste delicious!”

“Overall: ★★★★★ Raynes Park’s finest independent coffee shop serving up Curious Roo coffee and some mighty fine fresh pastries. It’s immaculate despite being small yet it’s child and dog friendly and has a warm, welcoming vibrant atmosphere. Get in, grab a table and enjoy your coffee! This is how a coffee shop should be. Food: Coffee shop What I liked: • Really welcoming • Bright yet comfortable atmosphere • Great coffee • Small well thought out food selection • Fair price point What I didn’t like: Do I recommend going? YES Will I go again? YES Was it good value? YES Price Point: $”

“Amazing service and my go to place. Milk cakes and mocktails are compared to none as they’re one of the best i’ve tried. In addition they show all sporting events so that’s a bonus. Place is highly recommend for all to try”

“Thank you to The Pizza Gig for catering for my brothers 30th party yesterday! The pizzas were absolutely delicious and Joe & Patricia provided a 5 star service. It was a great addition to our party, everyone tucked in and enjoyed! Thank you so much. Would 100% recommend for any event!”

“Truly good fresh, pizza. Quality is good. Wait times can vary but I can guarantee a banging pizza. The worker named Dan is kind and loads the pizza with toppings. Overall a must try and definitely work for a tenner. Big spicy and Woodland”

“Absolutely amazing experience. I went for my birthday and received a little card and bunch of flowers. We did the all you can eat and the sushi was phenomenal, great options and so yummy. Staff were really friendly and the resturant looks beautiful. Would 100% recommend”

“Great food and service from Amina. She was super friendly and checked on things often. Food was really good as well. Highly recommend. Very fresh”

“Fuji Sushi & Noodles is a really cute spot in Penge. The service is outstanding - so friendly, charming and sweet. Delicious, fresh food - great portion sizes - the veggie gyoza and udon noodles were both fantastic. Very good value too. A cosy little cafe. Would like to return to try the sushi and bento boxes. Thanks for a lovely late lunch today!”

“Cantina 41 has quickly become one of my favourite spots in Weybridge. It’s the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel looked after. The staff are genuinely warm, the service is quick without ever feeling rushed, and everything on the menu tastes like it was made with real care. The pizzas are genuinely outstanding — thin, crisp, and full of flavour — and the pasta is just as impressive. But what really won me over is their little tradition when you pay: they bring out a jar with wooden lotto barrels, you pick a number, and if they draw the same one, your meal is free. It’s simple, playful, and adds a fun twist to the whole experience. The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed, never pretentious, and every visit feels consistently good. Highly recommend Cantina 41 to anyone in the area.”

“Excellent coffee and food, cooked and served by warm and friendly staff. Staff were welcoming and the layout of the cafe is comfortable and warm. We went there for breakfast two days in a row and had a lovely experience. Highly recommended!”

“We went here as a family of eleven for our daughter’s 18th birthday tonight and was so impressed. The food was spectacular. The service was exceptional. I cannot fault it at all. A massive thank you for such a memorable evening and we can’t wait to come back!”

“Amazing experience, lovely modern flavours, excellent veggie tasting menu. Passionate and friendly staff and perfect wine pairings. Couldn't have asked for more really. Loved it.”

“Duck noodles were very good and the Yorkshire puddings are an interesting idea that you'd think wouldn't work but actually does, very well. Recommend highly.”

“A special meal for my birthday and it was fantastic, Tim our waiter was just brilliant. Was filling our water glasses before we even noticed, recommended drinks based on our likes. He was superb with my partner who had multiple allergies to egg milk and nuts. When a course accidentally came out with a sauce which he thought could have milk it in, he quickly made a replacement himself so we could eat together. He sadly had to go quickly at the end, so didn’t have time to thank him properly for how brilliant he was. He was credit to the Clink and HMP Brixton. Will come back for afternoon tea and hope that lovely Tim or his colleagues are working. And hope that I’m served by Tim again in the future!”

“What a quietly dazzling place this is. There’s something wonderfully conspiratorial about stepping through that modest entrance, as though you’re being let in on a secret. The evening began with a generosity that’s actually become rare in fine dining - an extra splash of sauce here, a little more wine there - no questions, no charge, and not in excess, but with the sort of intuitive hospitality that says, “We’re glad you’re here.” It wasn’t about selling a product, or ticking boxes of ‘luxury’ and ‘innovation’; it was about making an experience breathe. The fish-focused menu was, quite simply, divine. Each plate felt considered but never contrived. The chef’s attention to detail was everywhere, not only in the precise cooking but in the courtesy and conversation that accompanied it. He seemed genuinely invested in the pleasure of his guests, which lent the whole evening a warmth too often missing from Michelin-minded establishments. In short, Behind is a restaurant that remembers why restaurants exist at all: to nourish, to delight, and, if only for a few hours, to make the world feel exquisitely well-arranged.”

“AMAZING curry! We recently moved into the area and thought we would stop into Indian Fusion to grab a takeaway. The owner, Hakim, was so nice to us and gave us recommendations. Everything was so so so tasty. Hakim gave us some onion bhajis to try and they were incredible, especially with his homemade yoghurt sauce. The naan was fantastic and the curries were amazing. Next time we’ll try the korai curry as recommended by Hakim.”
