“this place is the best spot in Woodford. This is REAL Turkish food. The guy who cooks is also the owner, one of the best chefs. He is a brilliant cook and really cares about his service and food, you can taste it. I couldn’t recommend more!!!! Definitely try it.”

“Lovely family meal. The staff are very nice and always friendly and welcoming. They were extra helpful with my grandpa’s wheelchair. Thank you!”

“No booking on a Friday night however we were seated promptly without a problem. Staff very efficient/attentive but not intrusive. Food was lovely and fair portion. Very relaxed atmosphere”

“Great local family run takeaway! Amazing service and tasty food at unbelievably low prices! What more can you ask for? I ordered a takeaway and was delighted but how fresh and tasty their food is and it left me feeling satisfied for days!”

“Best food I've had out in a while, had the mixed platter, all of it was quality, the lamb particularly, both of us thoroughly enjoyed meals, great value for money, guys in there are doing a great job, give Gourmet shish a visit, you won't be disappointed”

“Some of the best Indian we had in London. So much of it seems sweet or too mild but this place is definitely more traditional and spicy like the Indian food we have in the United State. We loved it and had fantastic service. Highly recommend and we would totally go back here.”

“A Pan Indian Restaurant: A truly grand and magnificent dining experience! Baluchi - A Pan Indian Restaurant is an absolute gem in every sense of the word. From the moment you step through the doors, you are transported to a world of elegance and sophistication. The ambiance is simply stunning, with opulent decor, soft lighting, and an air of grandeur that makes every visit feel like a special occasion. The food is, without a doubt, a culinary masterpiece. Each dish is a work of art, bursting with authentic Indian flavors and prepared with the utmost care and precision. We particularly enjoyed the slow-cooked lamb shank, and the selection of tandoori kebabs truly unforgettable! The service is impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who anticipate your every need, adding to the overall luxurious experience. Baluchi isn't just a meal; it's an immersive journey into the heart of Indian hospitality and gastronomy. If you're looking for a restaurant that combines breathtaking aesthetics with extraordinary food and service, look no further. This is a must-visit for anyone seeking a truly grand and nice dining experience. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Had a lovely Thai meal here, can’t believe we’ve never visited before! Great, friendly service and the food was solid and very reasonably priced. We’ll be back!”

“Partner and I stumbled upon this last month and was very sad to find out they were closing soon. Excellent food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. All the best for the future!”

“Good Italian restaurant in South Kensington area. This place is packed with customers. Foods are served quick. Fresh ingredients. Large portion. All dishes are delicious. Price is also quite reasonable.”

“Really good restaurant, the gamberini was absolutely amazing and definitely would recommend to anyone that comes here, our server was Emiliano absolutely amazing service and really good quality, he recommended us the Brookie and was absolutely amazing. 10/10”

“We stumbled upon Pasta Bar as we were walking through Piccadilly and so glad we did! We chose the lunch special with a choice of appetizer, entre and dessert. The service was great, food was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed watching the chefs prepare everything. The pasta was freshly cooked per order and we were very pleased”

“Exceptional Pasta Experience at Manteca! My first visit to Manteca was absolutely fantastic! The restaurant itself is super cool and chic, with dark-toned lighting and minimalist design creating a great atmosphere. The customer service was superb—interactive, informative, and genuinely attentive. Our server, Jack, was amazing; he ensured we were always looked after and really enhanced our meal. We ordered a few things to share: the focaccia, ricotta and chili dip, crab pasta, beef ragu, kale pasta, peach sorbet, and beef fat fudge. The pasta is incredibly fresh, and the sauces were wonderfully rich yet light, not heavy at all! I'd recommend sharing 3-4 pasta dishes as the portions aren't huge, which is perfect for trying more of the menu. Despite the restaurant being very busy, there wasn't much of a wait for the food. A special shoutout to the peach sorbet—it literally tasted like a burst of fresh peach! You can tell they prioritize high-quality ingredients and fresh produce across the board. For all this food, the bill came to just £80 (no alcohol), which is great value for money. Overall: 8.5/10. It was a truly excellent experience and definitely a step above most other popular pasta spots. Highly recommend!”

“Lovely Christmas catchup. Tried the christmas pizza! Amazing view and food was lovely. o Our waitress Liz was superb and very friendly.”

“The entrance was unclear, as my guest didn’t realise that it was through the reception at the Eight Club. Very good service and friendly staff, from the moment we walked in, till the time we left. The menus took some time to arrive, but we were enjoying the view. We arrived at 6:30pm and there was one other table occupied. By 9:30pm when we left half the restaurant was full. For. Tues evening this was expected. We had the 5 course menu with half a bottle of Prosecco for £35.50. It was well worth the money, especially with the cost of living. Each dish was a work of art and perfectly executed. My favourite dishes were the seafood dish and the duck breast. The dessert was a bit heavy, but still tasty. The waitress was attentive and kept our glasses topped up throughout the evening. The venue was nicely decorated and the bathrooms were well presented. I would recommend this restaurant Update: On my second visit. The service was poor. We were left waiting for a long time between courses to be served and had to ask twice for the bill. Also the dishes served this time round for the tasting menu were mediocre in places and should have been better throughout. We were also not served any bread, as the other tables who were also doing the same menu received. I would still return, but I have now lowered my expectations, which is unfortunate and probably won’t be in any rush.”

“The most authentic Japanese restaurant in London that my family loves! As Hong Konger in London, we have high expectations on Japanese food but it always let us down here in London. It’s definitely not a cheap restaurant but it worths every penny u spend. Attentive staff, good ambience, fresh sashimi and nice food. We all give a thumbs up, including my picky teenage children. Will surely recommend it and revisit. Our teenagers ate a lot yesterday and that why the bill was a bit pricy.”

“Our second visit via the First Table app. We loved the food and service. My flatiron steak was perfect as was my mushroom starter. My husband loved his onglet steak and real French onion soup. Will def go back.”

“Great tasting food in a relaxed local Café. Especially enjoyed the Eggs Benedict”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant, and it was such a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Olessia in particular made me feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted authentic and full of character, from the appetizers to the main courses. It truly felt like a little trip to Greece. Thank you for such a lovely food and for the great service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending your restaurant ❤️❤️❤️”

“I ordered on Uber Eats twice and the 3rd time we decided to eat in. Just amazingly tasty and delicious! Good portion, tasty food, nice music and vibe inside. Place is super clean and warm ! Definitely ordering and coming in again!”

“The best Greek box I’ve had in a very long time! Lovely fresh bread, generous portion of salad and most importantly fantastically grilled pork! Absolutely delicious will definitely come and recommend. Kudos to the chef!!”

“Great hot food. Nice and fresh. Portions were huge for a reasonable price.”

“Moved to QP from Melbourne and very happy to have stumbled upon excellent consistent coffee. Busy at times but happy to wait and listen to the daily mix of music and conversation. Each time I visit my day gets that little bit better. ☕️”

“It was a stupidly hot late June day and as we were traveling back from Hampton Court Palace, we met a local whose parents also happened to be staying at the same hotel (The Selwyn) as us. We were on the last leg of four straight weeks of international travel and safari…we were EXHAUSTED and wanted a good simple dinner super close to the hotel and The Red Cow was recommended to us. The bartender was awesome, but made my day when he noticed how hot and tired we looked and brought me a pint glass filled to the brim with ice, to go with my fruity cider I was trying. Divine! Small gesture, big impact. Enjoyed a delicious dinner, football match on the tv, and we’d stay here instead of The Selwyn next visit. Also, don’t recall the name of this drink he recommended, but it was perfect at the end of a long, hot day. Thank you!”

“Fantastic american style pizzas, great customer service. Perfect spot to eat something delicious.”

“Excellent prices. The cost for preserved eggs (£2.50 for a pack of 4) are the cheapest I've ever seen in London”

“I would give you 10 stars if I could! Lovely welcoming centre and staff who create a fun and friendly atmosphere and the building is fun, friendly and colourful”

“I stayed here during the Women's Rugby World Cup (Sept 2025) as my usual hotel was full. I was unsure at first having not stayed here before though being familiar as I've had lunch a few times prior to being Warner. The room was clean, fresh and well appointed. Everything you need and with a superb view of the river. Any noise from the nearby road or Heathrow dims intonrhe background when windows are closed. The food at both dinner and breakfast is superb either in the Market Kitchen (buffet style) or Brasserie (served). I'd recommend trying both. Range of options are available and all dietary needs can (and will) be accommodated. Each evening, there is live entertainment provided. For us it was sounds of the 80s and then Billy Black Band. Absolutely superb with at seat service of drinks available. The gym, pool and spa are spot on whether you want a light pleasure pampering or fitness. I was very impressed. The staff cannot do enough to help, always carry a smile, and clearly know what they are doing. The easiest analogy I can make is it's a cruise ship on land. And a bloomin good one. This wasn't a planned stay but I will definitely be back. Very impressed.”

“Great range of crafting products! I got exactly what I came in for and was out within 10 minutes. Store is well organised and products are cheap in price but good quality.”

“The Greek meze night was excellent - the food was delicious, great service and the entertainment was the finishing touch for a fun night out!”
