“Yada’s has to be one of the most authentic Middle Eastern restaurants in London. All the food is delicious but the mezze platter and lamb shawarma are highly recommended as you can try lots of authentic options in small quantities. Our favourites included the pistachio hummus and ghormeh sabzi. The lamb was divine and accompanied by the gorgeous fluffy saffron rice. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Today I was served by Jason, he helped me choose the perfect evening meal. Really calm and relaxing atmosphere. Probably the best Asian cuisine I’ve ever had including the takeaways from local Chinese and Thai restaurants. Later got introduced to the manager Denise and chef edg . Will definitely be coming here again overall experience the best.”

“Wonderful, authentic Italian food definitely a place I will come again.”

“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”

“The most unexpected delight. In the area for a wedding on the weekend and stumbled across Artigupiani del Cibo. I can honestly say I have never had a better Italian meal, the last thing we expected to find in an English country village but I cannot be happier that we did. Shout out to Antonio who made us feel welcome and part of the family from the moment we walked in!”

“Went for a works meal. Brilliant service, fantastic atmosphere and lovely food. I had the tuna pizza and asked for extra anchovies and it was very tasty. The limoncello shots, random birthday celebration (for one of our party who wasn't actually celebrating a birthday!) and sing-along Italian hits added to a great feel inside this cosy restaurant. The only slight hiccup was that the tiramisu hadn't quite flawed completely, but honestly it didn't matter. I would definitely return.”

“Had superb vegetarian focaccia (mozzarella, sun-dried tomato, aubergine, olives). Cooked to perfection, crispy outside, melty inside. Generous portion and very reasonable prices. They also sell authentic Italian products - pasta, oils, pasta sauces. Also delicious looking cakes, which I didn't try, as focaccia was substantial! Friendly, helpful staff.”

“We enjoyed a set course pre-theatre meal. Our server Lana along with her colleagues were fabulous. Our dinner was wonderful and we highly recommend The Restaurant at St Martins Lane.”

“Eaten here twice, and it was delicious both times. First was a choose your own stirfry with lots of veggies. More recently, I wasn't very hungry, so I tried the chilli garlic mogo (pictured after I'd started eating), so flavoursome and big enough for a light meal on its own. Highly recommended!”

“Love coming here for breakfast Mechael is always welcoming and wonderfully taking our orders The food is halal Lots of options”

“Cosy place. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. I visited this place several times during week days and weekends around 11-12pm and tables are available indoors and outdoor. I enjoyed a lot of coffee taste ( I really like coffee “the magic” with oat milk) and oat & raisin cookies.”

“Really lovely and cute cafe/workspace. Chill music, nice atmosphere. If you come here to work, take headphones as you will be surrounded by cafe sounds and people chatting :-) had smashed avo on toast and a flat white, yummy!”

“Great team. Great food. The only place to go in Chatterton. Look out for their special set menu evenings.”

“I've been popping into Fair Price, The Butcher Shop for many years now and more so recently. It's a great place in the heart of Balham. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Their produce is great and I always find what I'm looking for. Recently, I had go into self- isolation. They offered to deliver my shopping. I do feel that they value their customers, so I would highly recommend shopping here! Thank you!”

“Came here to celebrate a birthday and was very happy with the whole experience. When heavy traffic delayed us, the staff was very accommodating and helpful. Food and service was great! And they also brought a birthday gift and a handwritten card, very impressive. Will definitely come back!”

“This is my favourite place in this area. If I work nearby, I always come here for lunch. The eat in menu changes slightly everyday and the food is fresh and tasty for what you get. I have been a fan for over 10 years!”

“In all they years that my Lucky the Poodle had been to any groomers no one apart from Freya managed to do as an amazing job each time. Great service and great value. Would highly recommend!”

“A Small Triangle is the sweetest baby shop, make sure to visit, guarantee you’ll be hooked. The owner is so lovely, too!”

“My favourite local sandwich joint. Excellent all round - their spicy chicken sandwich is one of the best sarnies in town. Highly recommend for lunch.”

“Great, authentic restaurant! Friendly staff and very generous portion sizes!”

“Party of 4, we enjoyed impeccable service by Alexandra, great level quality of food, good pace of serving the dishes ( we did order A LOT) and got a chocolate gift from Alexandra at the end! Convenient location, cool atmosphere, clean, comfortable.”

“Good quality fish with well balanced curry sauce to accompany. Chips were standard. Was delivery but decent all in, not cheap thou when you factor in delivery fee despite only being 7km from me”

“Took my wife and little daughter to the restaurant for the lunch. It was lovely atmosphere, food was great and service was excellent. Will go again next time. Beautiful place and will be more beautiful in summer.”

“I was so amazed by the decor and the ambience of this place. Sitting near the river thames. An establishment that has been here since 1965. The Owner and his chef have created food that will get you thinking why did I not come here before. Unbelievable food and good service. I was served a medly of starters. One of the combinations really blew my mind when I was told the crunchy delicious salsa style dish 'The Magic' was not what I thought it was. I couldn't workout what it was. The owner asked me 'have a guess? I failed each time and when he told what it was I was flabbergasted. The dish is called 'The Magic' it truly is that. I won't tell what it is ill keep the surprise for everyone to check out. On the same plate there was also shaba chicken, lamb chops and delicately spiced king prawns. Wow to all them! Amazing food and truly outstanding restaurant.”

“Forget your usual breakfast routine! Uncle's surprised me this week with a dinner spread that was nothing short of outstanding! I'm usually a regular for their morning delights however, today I ventured into uncharted territory – their evening menu! The star of the show? The fresh Paya. Now, I know sheep's trotters might not be for everyone, but here, they were transformed. Cooked to perfection, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, they swam in a rich, flavourful sauce that had me reaching for seconds (and thirds)... ofcourse with two fresh fluffy roti alongside. This wasn't just a satisfying meal; it was an explosion of taste and texture. Everything felt homemade, prepared with love and expertise. The atmosphere, I imagine, reflects that same warmth. Uncle, consider your family expanded! I'll definitely be bringing the whole crew in for a taste of your magic soon.”

“Big announcement guys. As a regular customer i wanna say alot things about kulcha express or staff. First thing everybody knows food is mouthwatering. Feels like bebe de hatha da food. And the staff cant say friendly. They r more thn frnd. They treat me like big brother. The boys working there always greet with happy face and respectfully. They r grounded. Peacefully taking orders and serving fresh food. Sometimes i come here to wave them just because of their behaviour and friendly nature. Hope people will talk to them respectfully and definitely they will get double respect from staff .”

“The food is amazing, we had the mezze. The beef and the chicken were so tender and juicy, let alone for the rest of the food accompanying this delicious feast! The tea and the coffee were delicious!!! The staff were so attentive and ready to help in any way possible! 100% recommend it!! You must come by and try this amazing restaurant!”

“Really tasty food, good service, and kind staff. I would go back. If you like home-style Middle Eastern food, give this place a visit.”

“Excellently wonderful in every sense, great savoury food, warm and hospital friendly service at very reasonable prices, honestly a jewel of a restaurant... Remember to leave a tip for the young Lady as No service charge applied as down to your discretion but thoroughly merited. Simply Love this place and will return often. Highly recommended.”

“We first tried Rayuela back in September, and it ended up being one of the best meals I’ve had in London. For context, I’m French and have spent a lot of time in Spain, so I’m not easy to impress when it comes to food. Everything we tried was authentic and of incredible quality, plus they have a really good selection of wines too. It is reasonably priced and good value for money, especially compared to how much you end up paying for an average meal at the pub these days. We ended up hosting a big family dinner there (20+ people), everyone was so pleased and we really felt looked after by the team.”
