Culinary technique in London

“Booked for a large group and had a set menu that was excellent value. The food was fantastic and the service was great. Will definitely be returning:)”

“The best restaurant in London imo. We ordered so many dishes, and not a single one let us down (okay maybe the sheep milk ice cream was a bit more testing)which is actually quite rare. Favourite was definitely the Raw Hereford Rib, Hen of the Woods & Ramson Capers. Despite how good the food is, the restaurant feels casual and not pompous which is nice.”

“Best takeaway we've had. Always have found that takeaways never quite replicate what you get served in a restaurant. But Tasty Bites are the first to manage it.”

“I never enjoyed soft shell crab like how we did at Yum Sa. Every item we ordered tasted great and nothing disappointed. The best items we had were the satay chicken, grilled prawns, and the soft shell crab. Massaman curry was good too. Jungle curry was alright. The cocktails were also good with their unique twist on the traditional cocktails. Do note the pictures of the food are outdated as it looks like they may have changed their menu. For instance we wanted to try their pad Thai wrapped in omelette but didn't see that particular dish in the menu. There is a pad Thai but there was no mention of omelette in it. So we didn't order it. Also we went in assuming the portion size are also small based on the images but when the food looked much bigger when we saw the food in front of our eyes. So order accordingly.”

“This was my first time trying food from Laos and what an incredible meal it was. The pork neck was spectacular, the Lao style papaya salad super flavourful and the spicy chiken hot pot is the best soup I've had in months. The waitress was really good and honest recommending both the dishes and the quantity. We will be back for sure!”

“Celebrated my birthday with family. Lovely atmosphere, tasty food and great service. Thank you for great time and an extra step to take a late order. Will back again!”

“Great experience! First time at this restaurant and it was so good. Ordered the arrabbiata pasta and tiramisu, I will definitely order these again on my next visit, which I hope is soon.”

“Really impressive food! I had the octopus starter, and to my surprise, it was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend had the calamari starter and it was the best I've ever had by a mile. The only time I've ever had calamari that wasn't even remotely rubbery - fantastic! The seafood risotto was just what I needed and the Gavi Di Gavi wine was splendid. I will definitely be returning.”

“I had the Calamari for my main and brownie for my dessert. I also had a strawberry Mojito. I absolutely loved every bit of my meal. Food is always delicious here, reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and accommodating.”

“We had a great evening at HispaniaLondon, a Spanish restaurant that really stands out — not just for the high-quality food, but also for its gorgeous interiors and lively atmosphere. Everything we tried was packed with flavour, but the stars of the night were definitely the eggs with Ibérico ham (so simple, yet so good) and the Iberian Shoulder Wellington. A brilliant mix of traditional and creative. If you're after a place that brings authentic Spanish vibes to London, this one's worth a visit.”

“Came here for lunch with a friend as it wasn't far from the station. I ordered the cold noodles with sesame and shredded chicken, and shared a side dish of the cold beef tendon with cucumber. Everything tasted so good! Plenty of options to choose from, will definitely be back!”

“Highly recommend the beef and fungus stir fry noodle which was full of flavours. We ordered the lamb with naan dish as well. The lamb was tender. The naan got quite soggy if you don’t eat fast enough and the dish was very filling. We prefer the sauce in the noodle dish and found the lamb dish a bit on the blend side. Overall, it’s a good place to go for Uyghur cuisine.”

“Single-handedly the best Chinese restaurant I've had the pleasure of ordering from. The service, food, and delivery times are a exemplary. My partner and I haven't been able to even contemplate ordering elsewhere since our first oder (and we're quite a few orders deep now!). Compliments to the staff across the board, we have, and shall continue to sing your praises and recommend you to our friends.”

“This is our third visit and absolute favorite French taster menu option in London. Our default for special occasions! Very refined but relaxed deco/atmosphere with the most lovely and attentive staff on the floor and in the kitchen. Julio the Head Sommelier looked after us personally all evening and was spot on with his wine pairing and interesting facts. He made us feel very welcome! The food as usual was exceptional, visually gorgeous, rather large portions and full of fresh dynamic flavour – well done chef. Also Patrisia and her team organized the evening for us and were ever so accommodating, I was very demanding I do admit. It was my husbands 65th birthday and he recently was diagnosed with cancer, so this was a birthday celebration we really needed and appreciated a break from our new reality for an evening!”

“I have to say we received the best service from Manager & staff. My daughter has multiple food allergies and we were given excellent choices of food from menu that catered for her. Highly recommend booking table as this place is popular. Halal. Delicious food made fresh and friendly staff. 10/10 Thank you for being so helpful.”

“This was one of the nicest meals I've ever had! The setting is a nice balance between formal and informal with comfortable seating and pleasant music (relaxed, stylish covers of classic songs) inside the converted Battersea power station shopping centre. The staff were polite and friendly, but not overly so, in that customer-service-so-good-it-becomes-annoying kind of way. The waiter asked if we were ok with very spicy flavours, and when I admitted to being somewhat pathetic in my tolerance of anything hotter than mayonnaise, he offered to put the chilli sauce in a separate side dish - perfect! Just genuinely pleasant staff. And both the food and drinks were reasonably priced and absolutely delicious.”

“It was an absolute delight to finally find an oriental store with everything I wanted. The store was very well stocked with an assortment to make your mouth water, and help always at hand. Everything was well labelled, priced, clean and tidy.....puts some supermarkets to shame!! I only went in to see the store, and came out with 2 full bags. The prices are incredibly competitive, and the service is excellent. Thank you Mofz, I will definitely visit again. Just noticed they also have a store in East London, that's wonderful!!!”

“Fantastic absolutely feeling street food at reasonable price, highly recommend. I love the chicken wrap, there is vegetarian falafel option as well. Excellent mix of spices.”

“This is a favourite local or ours and even though they were super busy today, the service is always 5* and nothing is too much for them. Service with a smile - always. This place also does the best coffees. Thank you again”

“We came for a "proper Sunday roast" and it did not disappoint! The food was phenomenal and service equally wonderful. We split a beef roast, mussels and smoked salmon pate for our family of 3. We finished with the Christmas pudding. It was more than enough and each dish was spot on! The staff were friendly and attentive and the ambiance was everything one would hope for an English pub. Highly recommend!”

“Brilliant place! So much atmosphere and such great people on both sides of the bar.”

“I went there with my girlfriend for the first time and we were so pleased with the service, quality of food and the atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient. Especially Helio has a great personality and makes the place very friendly and pleasant, delivering the best meat choices, cooked to perfection. We will definitely visit again for great food, service, and relaxing time.”

“The restaurant had been on my list for years but I did not know they got a Michelin star in 2025. Food was amazing from start to finish. With some Tartare, Mussels toast and Pigeon skewer to begin with. And then some Dover Sole, Mallard, vegetables and potatoes. All that with a side of bread and butter. And a cheesecake finish. Service was great and they explained everything. Wine list was also great with lots of options (including Sherry and Dessert wine) I highly recommend the place”

“Nice place, relaxing just outside of the new John Lewis. Pinot Grigio was very nice as well as the Bruschetta with anchovies and stracciatella... Really nice service with a smile. Thank you”

“Simply beautiful and exquisite. We had the premium tasting menu for four people, plus additional dishes for a vegetarian guest — and every single plate was a work of art. The presentation was stunning, and the flavours were perfectly balanced throughout. From the sushi and hot dishes to the desserts, everything was truly exceptional. We couldn’t find a single fault. There was also plenty of food, leaving us more than satisfied. A memorable dining experience from start to finish!”

“I went with my gf yesterday, and the sushi was absolutely delicious. It had to be the best Sushi I’ve ever tried so far. Interior is decorated nicely and the service was 10/10. Shivani did a great job, I would recommend Chin Chin to anyone who hasn’t been. You have to go at least once in your life.”

“The food was spectacular, the fish was very obviously high quality, as it just completely melted in my mouth, and the flavor combinations are genius. Our waitress Maple provided wonderful service, and she was clearly knowledgeable on the food and drink options. It was a wonderful experience and I will definitely be returning.”

“Do not be fooled by the visual look of this place! I have had sushi from very expensive places all around London, and this sushi was amazing! I went last night with a friend, we ordered 3 plates of tempura and salmon Dragon rolls and a crab plate. It blew our minds! I woke up this morning ready to have it again for breakfast! The staff are very friendly and accommodating which made the experience even better. I would recommend all sushi lovers to come here. Will come again and again and most probably will stop going to the expensive places! Very recently priced.”

“Our local favourite. My wife and I come here all the time. We’ve had the poke bowl, sushi, and rice bowls. The fish is always fresh, the portions are a good size and it is priced fairly. The staff are really lovely and it’s a simple but nice place to eat in. Sevenoaks doesn’t have many good restaurants but this is an exception. We look forward to our next treat dinner at Nihaw”

“Really lovely restaurant. Nice decor, friendly staff. Food very good.”
