Cuisine experience in London

“Food was really nice. If you like Italian food, La rocca is a great spot.”

“Wonderful pizza place! The staff were so lovely, the atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, and the food was so authentic and delicious. Truly, some of the best pizza my partner and I have ever had. We will be coming back!”

“I just came in my mom for an parental outing and we decided to go here. It was so much better then I expected. Food was so good I ate it up in under five minutes. And the staff seemed very nice, queue went along fast as well. 10/10 would definitely order from here again”

“First of all, that Korean kimchi pancake is really tasty as it’s so doughy but crispy outside. The ice cream would be the perfect ending of the meal!”

“A restaurant I want to gatekeep out of selfishness. Every time I have ordered the food has consistently tasted like it’s been made with love. Even though I didn’t grow up eating this kind of cuisine, it tastes nostalgic and I can’t get enough!”

“A small but mighty team runs this gem of a restaurant. Delicious food and relaxed ambience makes this a perfect spot to meet a friend or two or have a date night. You might even want to do take away but then you’d be missing out on the warmth of their customer service. Would recommend and will be back.”

“I have dined here several times and each time they never fail to amaze me. I introduced my Spanish friend to Somali food yesterday and she loved it. She has an open mind and excited to try foods from different cultures and loved her experience. I over-ate as usual lol because the food is absolutely delicious especially the green chilli sauce which I love, hot but tasty. Huge man size portions and very reasonably priced especially as I tend to order lamb. Thank you for your amazing food and wonderful service.”

“Brilliant place! Local and decided to try somewhere new, after reading the reviews we thought we'd pop in... met high expectation, the food was tasty, fresh and plenty of it. Service was great and on a busy evening. Such great value as well. Special thanks to Sonia! We will be back. Thanks!”

“Always happy with whatever dish we choose, staff is always very welcoming and friendly. Definitely a great spot in Sydenham for Nepalese/Indian cuisine!”

“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.”

“Loved the food, was just as we expected it to be. For me the Thai curry was so flavourful and aromatic. Prawns were cooked perfectly too and the service was great, so welcoming and attentive. Will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu. Thank you Thai spice!”

“We went on Wednesday evening, we were greeted with a smile and showed to our table. The staff were extremely friendly and polite, and guide you with the menu. The setting is very nice and parking is easy to find. The food was quite tasty. We got the Calamari, Wings and the Prawn Tempura for starters. For the mains we got the lamb chops, wagyu surf and turf, wagyu sirloin and the wagyu t-bone steak.. and we enjoyed our food. Would I go back there again? YES! Our steaks were amazing and full of flavour,the customer service was amazing, and the overall experience was very personal. So yes, gets a 5 outta 5. Good hidden gem.”

“Took my grandmother there for her birthday dinner, excellent food, nicely presented, very good service and great atmosphere. I highly recommend. They even surprised us with a little cake for her at the end, which was so sweet.”

“This is easily my favourite Indian restaurant in Essex. The staff are super friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. The food is excellent value for money and the portion sizes are very generous. I can’t wait to return after the refurb is finished!”

“I’ve visited a few times now as it’s my local one and the reception me and family receive has been wonderful every time, from the waiters who really know they’re menus and food in general to the atmosphere created for us to have a wonderful evening with exceptional food”

“My new favourite restaurant! Food is full of flavour and beautifully presented. The staff is super friendly and is giving nice recommendations.”

“I've been here four times and I cannot believe that I haven't reviewed this place yet. First of, this is the only Thai restaurant I've been to four times (and I don't live close). Food is always amazing, and service is always fast, attentive, and welcoming. It's not your typical Thai restaurant, but the flavors are there. Last time we went we ordered the turmeric roti, nice, flaky and full of flavor. We also got the salted turmeric flossed tiger prawns, and I recommend two each (by default the order comes with three, but you can add one more), the crispy pork belly, and the beer battered chicken. We weren't that hungry last time, no none of the larger dishes. We've had their larger ones before, and we were always happy.”

“We love the drinks and desserts. The lady staff is extremely considerate. The food is ok, at least good value for the price.”

“A chefs perspective of ottos it could not get more French when you walk in your transported to France. The owner is a French as they come! I thought the goats cheese soufflé was one of the best starters I’ve ever had. The scallops were also as good as it gets. The service on the starters wasn’t the best they got our starters mixed up the front of house manager took our order so that was his bad the younger waiter had to take the embarrassment for it!. I did find the front of house manager abir all the place pacing up and down the restaurant looking quite bored at times but he is good with customer with his old school approach and jokes and he’s certainly knows what he’s doing. It was quiet that night so maybe that was the mistake and the pacing up and down. As for the rack of lamb the theatre was great but the lamb was as good as roar in my opinio. I forgot how rare the French cook meat. That ruined it for me and in my opinion English peolple think that is to under cooked the worst part was the fat had not been rendered down and was very raw and tough also the whole lamb was under seasoned and it needed some sort of peas maybe as a purea?! It ruined rhe meal for me I said to my sister I’ve only cooked a rack of lamb a few times so these guys should get it bang on cooking it most nights but they messed it up big time! They should ask how you want it cooked because once it’s been carved that’s it you will have to flash it in a pan which will ruin it to cook it more! execute the cooking right b4 you bring the theatre out I would say I have never had pomme soufflés b4 I wanted to get them to see what the hype is about they were exactly how they should be looks wise a work of art crafted by a mater of his trade! They are extremely hard to make so hats of ro the chef who did them for me sadly as I expected rhe flavour was not great just like a crisp with no seasoning the salt had not even stuck to them again all about the theatre but lacking in seasoning. They would be better served with some sort of Hollandaise or aioli not the jus. The Apple tart was to die for and the chocolate pot and the after dinner truffles were not very impressive . It’s a great restaurant I would not return I would say it’s the sort of place most people would only go once I would not say it’s worth the price tag for normal people anyway. I know my food and how hospitality runs so I like to leave an honest chefs review of restaurants. I would like to say the younger guys in the team were very professional and knew what they were doing shame they have to make up mistakes of others but it was an experience I wanted to show my sister a higher class of food and service and it did deliver just a shame rhe lamb was not right. Whej it came to the bill I was not willing to pay the 12.5% tip I wanted to tip what I thought it was worth they wanted £30 service charge well I put 10£ for it and of course like all fancy places and most places in general in london they make you feel bad for it and it can create a scene my £10 was a fair tip they shpuid of been happy with considering the service they had given me and tbh this bugs me about these places I’m not from the 1% my bill is already very expensive why embarrass me in front of other guests and my sister not all guests have endless amounts of money and don’t take it personally if people cannot pay the service charge it’s optional some people are hard up and save for a meal like this. Thanks to ottos for the experience it’s something I will not forgot the French know how to eat drink and live that’s for sure there food brings joy all round the globe they are very passionate people when it comes to hospitality.”

“A lovely café/restaurant with traditional Italian food and produce. I had a delicious pancetta and pistachio creme pasta and my mum had a seafood risotto which she loved. Both pastas dishes were fresh and well priced. The staff were friendly and attentive, helping us to decide which cannoli to share afterwards!”

“We had an amazing prosecco lunch today. A great catch up with dear friends, and an amazing singer. The food was amazing, service superb and the bubbles readily replenished, thank you xxx”

“Fast service and great food. The seating area was very clean, and the atmosphere in the shop was excellent.”

“This place feels like a warm hug. The staff are kind, the food is simple but incredible and the atmosphere is perfect. The lunch deal is great value, especially for London. Try the homemade chilli oil, it's my new obsession.”

“Sat a outside on a cute street with lots of small village charm. This is an adorable petit French bistro! Unfortunately the chicken dish was out, so I opted for the vegetarian item of the day. It's was delicious. I started with the French onion soup, per recommendations. It was good, but I regret not trying something else. Highly recommend stopping by after a visit to Kew!”

“I had the 6-course menu for lunch, and everything I ate was delicious. I drank a glass of champagne and was pleasantly surprised to have received a cake for my birthday. The service was impeccable, and the setting was beautiful. I absolutely loved it.”

“Lovely little place! I found them on Instagram and after seeing the daily cakes etc posted on there I had to check them out. I went on a Saturday morning, sat outside and had a lovely brunch (Eggs Benedict) and chatted to a couple of ladies outside whilst we all had coffee too. I then treated myself to an amazing cake that I took home for later! Service and food was great. I plan to go back tomorrow morning :)”

“Service was exceptional, very friendly and eager to help with our questions on the menu. It's quite affordable and the amount of food you get is incredibly generous. As for the taste; I'm completely in love with everything this authentic Greek experience has given me, all the way from the pitas, wraps, and delicious sauces. If I lived here, I would be a regular, that's for sure!”

“Nice friendly owner, Clean and can see food being cooked. Brilliant value for money and the food is great quality. I will definitely be going back soon.”

“Where should I start the staff were very friendly the food is delicious the service was perfect this is the right place if you wanna try Algerian food”

“Food and coffee are fantastic, full English is great but star of the show is the delicious Thai food!! Service and hospitality unmatched by this wonderful couple”
