Culinary technique in London

“My first time at Panas was truly impressive! The hospitality is amazing, feeling much like a fine-dining experience. The entire operation runs incredibly slick. The waiters are outstanding—very attentive, friendly, and happy, all while looking incredibly clean and smart in their uniforms. A special shout-out to Sunil who did an amazing job! The food is also very good—fresh, flavourful, and definitely not your average South Asian food! While the cost is quite expensive, the top-tier service, high food quality, and wonderful hospitality easily make up for it. Highly recommend!”

“This is my go to place for authentic African food, you can tell it was made with love! The owner is EXTREMELY KIND! and welcoming which made the whole experience truly special, showing genuine care for my satisfaction. Her attentiveness created a personal touch that made my meal even more enjoyable. It’s clear she takes great pride in her restaurant and providing excellent customer service. The suya was incredibly flavourful, with a perfect balance of spices, I also loved the jollof with plantain and spicy turkey bites. Despite being a takeout order, the food was well-packaged and arrived hot. when I placed my order the staff were efficient. Overall, a fantastic experience and I highly recommend their delicious food!”

“A true family run authentic restaurant. The owners put their hearts and souls into it and it really shows in the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere.”

“Really lovely dinner here - it’s a warm quite jazzy atmosphere inside, and the staff who looked after us were absolutely lovely, looked after us really well. And the food! The dishes we ordered were fabulous, starters and mains, the menu had quite a few interesting dishes you don’t see in every Indian restaurant. They also had a nice special tennis menu on for the championship. We also had some cocktails which were delicious and big too. We’ll be back :)”

“Honestly 10/10 will come again. Food was so good and the best part was the service. Gautum was so so nice.”

“I recently visited Rosa’s Thai – Wimbledon and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal or dining with friends. The food is delicious, full of authentic Thai flavors, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. What impressed me the most was the service from Aui, one of the servers. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. She gave great menu recommendations and made sure everything went smoothly from ordering to paying the bill. Her excellent service really made the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience — tasty food and outstanding service. If you’re in or around Wimbledon, I highly recommend stopping by!”

“We did a reservation before visiting this place and I recommend you to do same, because it can be quite full here, although there are many tables to sit in. There were many vegan & gluten-free options - I ordered chilli tofu rice noodles and it was quite spicy, but the taste was really good. Prices are fair comparing to similar restaurants. Chicken pad thai & mango sticky rice looked and tasted very good. Staff was very friendly and I was very satisfied here.”

“Some of the best pasta I’ve ever had! It was absolutely delicious and the service was top notch. Pricing was reasonable too considering the high quality. I highly recommend this place.”

“Marvin was brilliant with recommendations and brilliant host! Lovely gentleman, food was amazing as usual, keen to trip everything. Some surprising ingredients that go so well together. Deffo recommend! Thank you Marvin.”

“We made the most amazing sushi! Thanks so much Simon for a wonderful birthday evening full of laughs, sushi and homemade goodies. Simon taught us all about the history of sushi, showed us how to make it with accessible ingredients and gave us so much knowledge we will use in our kitchen going forward! I can't wait to try more of your classes”

“Amazing food and service. The Burger is very juicy and big size you get more for what you pay. We also had lahm ajin which was sublime. Its a truly a place you leave full and happy not wasting your money as in most places nowadays”

“Delicious food with surprisingly large portion sizes at a very good price. Staff were absolutely lovely as well. Very much enjoyed and would recommend.”

“Insane breakfast. Halal, filling and flavorful. More halal options would be amazing. Otherwise 100% delicious! We had the Astro halal and would highly recommend if you like a salty savory breakfast with a side of fruit. Coming back!”

“I have only ever ordered from this place for delivery. But the pizza is great. So good in fact, that I have it delivered from over 20 minutes away. Even in the middle of winter when there is no chance it will arrive anything but cold. There are 6 pizza places within a mile of me. But I order from here.”

“Ordered the chili chicken stir fry and asked them to make it very spicy. The spice level was very good and ingredients were very fresh. Delicious halal food, definitely some of the best flavours in Luton/London & the owner was very nice & polite. I am looking forward to eating here again!”

“I visited London and tried pizza pilgrims Margherita pizza. It tasted amazing better than domino's and Pizza hut. It's a wood fire pizza, not burnt surprisingly. I liked it and would highly recommend it. Moreover, not too expensive as well. They do justice eith the Italian style pizzas.”

“Genuinely think it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. So delicious. We also had the Aubergine thing to start which was also lovely. Staff were super friendly and the whole experience was amazing. Would definitely go again!”

“Zero is hands down my favourite takeaway spot — the food is always great, but what really makes the experience even better is the service. Special shoutout to Lexi, who always represents the company so well. He’s got great manners, is super friendly, and just a genuinely nice guy to deal with. It’s always a pleasure ordering here.”

“This restaurant stands out as one of the best for Indo-Chinese cuisine in the UK. The food is not just delicious but truly authentic, with the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani stealing the spotlight with its outstanding flavors and presentation. The environment, while great, may feel a bit snug due to the limited space. However, the courteous and friendly staff ensure a positive dining experience. A must-try for exceptional Indo-Chinese delights.”

“A super find when we searched for a gastrobar between Roedean & London. Food was excellent, and the service was superb. I appreciated how they tried their best to nudge things along as we had expressed concern over our schedule when we made the reservation. Loved the local garden inclusions in the menu. I would absolutely recommend this space and look forward to returning one day!”

“I had a wonderful experience at Dasthan Restaurant! The food was very delicious and fresh, with great flavors and presentation. The ambiance was also nice and comfortable. Special thanks to Manager Kamal — he was very polite, attentive, and provided excellent service. His professionalism made our visit even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for tasty food and great hospitality!”

“Highly recommended if you want to feel like you're in Italy!”

“Our first experience with Georgian food and it was wonderful. Friendly hosts who encouraged us to try Georgian wine and he went out of his way to explain the various dishes. We very much enjoyed our lunch - they had a Christmas market in the ground floor and that added to the festive spirit. Thank you!”

“Visited in September 2023. 4.5/5. First time visit to GBR, for an evening meal on a Friday evening, for an after work catch up with family in late September. The restaurant was high on my list to visit and I was very pleasantly impressed. The food was incredible. The freshest produce used to make a delicious meal. We had Pork Tenderloin and Spring Lamb for mains, with this delightful Mushroom Soufflé. All cooked to perfection. The all day menu has plenty of choices for all tastebuds. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, with fresh white linen. The service was great and almost personal. The atmosphere was a bit drab considering it was a Friday night in Mayfair, it wasn’t that busy (which is probably blessing in disguise). A worthwhile experience, for all occasions.”

“Cliff was my host and he was such a gentleman, and I was made to feel welcome! The food was excellent and the ambiance was amazing! Thank you so much cliff and team! Amazing!”

“Best goat curry I've had in London! Fantastic oxtail too. Very reasonable prices too 10/10 would recommend.”

“I visited Tindli By Chef Karnavar restaurant today and really enjoyed my meal. The place was clean and the staff were friendly. I ordered a sea food sadhya, Malabar chicken biryani and Ada Pradaman payasam it tastes really good The portion size was good for the price. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I would come back again.”

“I think all my other reviews of other restaurants need to go down one star after our meal here. What I really loved about this restaurant over other similar bracket places is that it was exquisite food but never felt pretentious. The food was incredible and the wine pairing was devine. I have always been a bit disappointed with Tokaji before but their selection is by far and the best I have had from Hungary. Staff were amazingly friendly and courteous - really helped to enhance the intimate feel of the venue. Chef coming out and explaining the food was a nice touch. Highlights for me was the rainbow trout course.. that was just incredible.. and the Cevennes Onion - I can see why it is their signature dish.. I could keep waxing superlatives but all I can say is do come and try it and you will see what i mean.. Will be back for my wifes birthday later in the year!”

“Very affordable and great portion sizes. Lovely vegan and gluten free options. I drove an hour to try her food out after seeing her videos on Tiktok. I was not disappointed at all. Very pleasant and lovely lady selling authentic Guyanese food, 10/10. Full of love and flavour. Everything tasted fresh and nice. I look forward to coming back here soon. My new fav roti spot! Hands down the best! You must try for yourself. Delicious!”

“We celebrated my dad’s birthday at Salut! and couldn’t have had a better experience. The team was incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived: genuine hospitality that instantly made it feel special. We started with the golden beetroot carpaccio and bream royale crudo, both stunningly presented and bursting with fresh, balanced flavours. For mains, the duck leg, sirloin, and pork belly were all excellent, the sirloin especially was perfectly cooked and melt-in-the-mouth tender. The orange & lime crème brûlée was the perfect finale, light yet indulgent. It’s our second visit this year, and Salut! once again delivered both outstanding food and heartfelt service. A true neighbourhood gem: elegant but unpretentious, ideal for birthdays, date nights, or any occasion worth celebrating. Already excited to try their new Oui Madame spot soon”
