The 30 Best Dining experiences in London

“Went for a birthday breakfast at the Royal Lancaster hotel, I had the breakfast buffet and was very happy with everything, the service was great, the breakfast options were plenty, with sweet and savoury there was something for everyone, please note if you’re Muslim you’ll have to request halal sausages from the kitchen as the ones out aren’t halal but glad there’s an option for that. The French toast was also amazing. Marcelina, Mounir and Ayska were lovely and very attentive throughout our breakfast, thank you again.”

“5* Sofas and 5* wardrobe. Very pleased with customer service and friendly delivery driver and helpful handyman. They brought it inside the house they put it together for us even took packaging away very pleased with the quality and customer service highly recommended.”

“We had an amazing time at The Landmark. Everything was perfect! The location is unbeatable with the Marylebone station right outside the back of the hotel. They even have roofed pathway from the hotel exit to the station entrance! The room was immaculate: spacious, luxurious, comfortable and was really well kept and cleaned as they offer turn down service in the evening too. The champagne bar and The mirror bar offered great cocktails and drinks. The ambience was out of this World. The interior of the lobby and bars were so elegant it was like inside a palace. The staff were friendly, helpful and very kind. This was without doubt the best hotel we had ever stayed at. Will definitely stay here every time we are in London. Bravo!”

“Cambridge circus wingstop is the best among of the others. I visited last week. The food was amazing. And the service and atmosphere was so good. I wanna visit again.”

“My waiter (Camron) served me today, his service was outstanding from start to finish. The staff were friendly and attentive. Food was cooked very well and he took the time to explain the menu with recommendations as it was my first time eating from Flat Iron. They are lucky to have him and I will definitely be coming back”

“i love this little place so much it is such a treasure. Lovely warm staff and a really delicious chicken and rice. Such a comforting local restaurant I really love it here”

“Delicious Tuscany restaurant in Central London that is worth the price. I had a fantastic time. Beautifully decorated inside with great service. Every dishes were so flavoursome.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the Gourmet Bus Dinner Experience! Delicious 6-course meal and wine all served in style whilst taking in the beautiful sights of London. Highly recommend this tour - it’s well worth the money!”

“We had an excellent weekend stay at the Canopy. On arrival we received a very friendly, welcoming and efficient check-in service from Connor. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Due to a train delay, we arrived much later than planned, so ate at the hotel the first night. The food was delicious and, again, the service friendly and efficient. Breakfast was very good. Not a huge selection, but still enough to choose from, and good quality. Our only issue was that the pillows in our room were too plump for our liking, but the staff promptly changed them for us. Throughout our stay, the staff were excellent. We would certainly stay here again.”

“Great pizza spot right in the heart of London! The location is super central and easy to reach. Their Margherita pizza was absolutely delicious—perfect crust, sauce, and cheese. The prices are also very reasonable for London. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. I definitely recommend this place.”

“Lovely fresh and delicious authentic Italian food. I could taste every fresh ingredient in my meal and I will happily revisit in the future! Incredible reasonable prices too! Just wonderful”

“Amazing gem in Forest Hill and some of best Japanese style food I’ve had in a long time. Beautiful season specials too and really wonderful desserts. Considering the quality of food I’d say this place is value for money. I look forward to more evenings here. The decor is cute. Nice for a quick meal, solo dining, a date, friendly hangout or special occasion. The waitress is very good at her job and felt really well we were not rushed, well attended to and taken care of. I saw they also do some good take away deals.”

“This was my second visit, and it was just as amazing as the first! Located on the 38th floor, the views are incredible, and the whole atmosphere feels special. The service is top-notch — the staff are always so friendly and helpful, really making you feel looked after. The food is outstanding — the sea bass, the sushi, everything was absolutely on point. It’s one of those places where every dish tastes fresh and full of flavour. Definitely one of my favourite spots for a treat meal!”

“Consistently great food and great takeaway service. The Ceylon curries are delicious, we have so far had the chicken, king prawns and prawn. Everything comes well seasoned, tasty and not oily like many takeaway places. Saag dishes also great.”

“We recently dine in here. We are vegetarian and keep looking or exploring vegetarian options around. Though the name says London Spice but it is truly Indian Hyderabadi. I found limited options for vegetarians and we mainly wanted to eat biryani rather than curry and roti and I must say it was the right choice to go here. We ordered vegetarian dum biryani and the staff also suggested the portion or quantity of biryani which was very helpful. I must say the quantity given was good along with the quality of food. My child especially likes the biryani a lot, a true authentic Hyderabadi biryani taste. Along with biryani, raita and mirch Ka salan was served which was good in taste. A plate full of dry cut vegetables salad was also served which is typical Indian style and I liked it as you don't happen to see it in many restaurants here. Later we asked for starters in vegetarian and staff suggested chilli paneer, we went with the suggestion and it was up to the mark. Quantity and quality both were satisfactory. I must recommend vegetarian people to try if you love biryani. The staff was so polite and was frequently checking on the quality and other things. 5 star for food and service. I felt a bit of Indian music in the background would have added a feel at home country otherwise everything is perfect. London Spice team you are truly doing a fantastic job by providing us good and home quality food far away from home country. Keep the good service and quality.”

“Hidden gem in NW10. Authentic Portuguese at a very reasonable price. The chicken is delicious, the beer is cold and the staff are great. What more could one want?”

“Sunday lunch, it was great. We had the combination plate (meat and veggie) for three people. There was a lot of food and it was all very good. We almost ate it all. The coffee is also really good. Definitely recommend it and would definitely go back again!”

“Think of perfectly crispy chicken wings glassed with superb Korean sauce without being soggy at the same time - SUPERB. Spicy rice cake , powerful, Jab Chae one of the best, Chicken bulgogi flavorful. Good value for money tasty plates. Each with a different flavour. Very polite service by staff. Good value. Simple deco. Shop targeting taste and value. One of the best Korean restaurants in London. Offers barbecue on tables. Definitely worth a visit.”

“Every single item on the menu is absolutely incredible. The full english breakfast was incredible, the pizza was cooked perfectly, the spaghetti bolognese was the best I've ever had. Every bite of everything was delicious. Came 3 nights in a row.. I wish I could take this place home with me.”

“Great place to take your family. Friendly environment, tasty food and good drinks. Definitely worth a visit. Place is clean and the toilets were in great condition. External garden area available.”

“Used to come here at least once a week to get food when I was in grad school and they would give me amazing Turkish tea while I waited! Their food is also super authentic, def recommend.”

“My wife and I dined here in August 2025 and were served by the very witty and extremely professional Gawl.The food was very tasty, the experience is truly unique and like nothing we have done before. When you read its pitch black, it really is. Like you can hold your own hand an inch in front of your face and you still will not see it. This did not put us off in any way, but please do bear it in mind before booking. If it's not for you, that's ok, just know what you are signing up to. Before you enter the room they do take for safekeeping anything that can be reflective (like a wristwatch), but not things like diamond earrings and/or rings (so image how dark it really is if they are not worried about the diamond absorbing and reflecting the light back)! Also, if you need to, you can leave the dark dining space and visit the restroom during the dining experience, but we didn't as that would have "broke up" the atmosphere of truly dining in the dark. All in all, I highly recommend this to anyone who does not have issues with "the dark". I would not repeat the experience as it really is the element of surprise which made it so fascinating for us (like how will you "see" what you are eating - spoiler alert - you dont, and sometimes have to resort to helping yourself with your hands to ensure food is on the cutlery, which sounds counterintuitive, I know!), but I am very happy we did it once. Also, we were told that the menu changes every six months or so, so you can visit twice a year to surprise your taste palette, if you would like. In summary, I would definitely recommend at least one visit in your life and hopefully you get Gawl who made the whole two plus hours fly by! P.S. 1 I have not taken any photos so not to spoil your experiences. P.S.2. Kudos to the restaurant owners for employing blind and visually impiared people. On a very serious note, this restaurant experiences is really exceptionally informative of what it is like for blind and visually impaired people. Of course, the fact that the customer gets to return to their everyday life, whilst those who are blind or visually impaired do not leave this "darkness" is not lost on anyone who gives it a bit of a thought. Really makes you appreciate the "givens" in life!”

“Stopped by for brunch and was more than impressed! The food was incredible every ingredient was perfectly plated and full of flavor. The coffee and smoothies were so good (I even grabbed one to go.) A special thanks to Subhra, who greeted us with a warm smile from start to finish and gave us the best drink recommendations. Thank you, Subhra we will definitely be back.”

“I first became of the Sea Breeze food at the Leyton Carnaval on 13th July. I was absolutely amazed with taste and flavour of the meal I had. On Friday 25th July I visited their establishment in Walthamstow with my brother. I We ordered oxtail, rice and peas with steamed cabbage. My brother got carried away, he ordered oxtail 3 boiled dumplings and steamed cabbage, his next choice was, Ackee.and saltfish 3 boiled dumplings plus one fried dumpling and a bottle of their homemade sorrel and ginger drink, he later told me the taste of the ginger was just right, while the fall-off the bone oxtail was delicious, and that he really enjoyed the Ackee and saltfish. I can attest that this establishment serve really tasty and delicious food, very flavourful. The Sea Breeze will definitely be my favourite place to eat even though I’ll be travelling from CannHall Road, E113NH. Thank you for such for the delicious food with perfect portions.”

“It was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. I’ve been living in this area for so many years, and I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed such a place before. It’s truly wonderful — both the food and the warm welcome from the staff. Thank you very much for everything, everything was perfect. I look forward to visiting again.”

“A really incredible food experience made better by the kindest and most enthusiastic team of chefs and staff. Every course was delicious, balanced, and well conceived. Each course also had such a different take on a new element than the last, constantly impressing. We loved hearing how each dish was contrived and redesigned from earlier iterations and seasons. At the end of our night, the staff were kind enough to spend extra time answering our questions about their ferments, reuses, and zero-waste methods. It was a really special experience! My parents, who are not typically a fan of vegetarian heavy dinners, absolutely loved it! A great spot for anyone interested in local, foraged, fermented, or thoughtful ingredients and dining.”

“Great food and friendly service! The platter is so worth it!! And the shish lamb, which I personally ordered, may look small, but can really fill you up!”

“They had good foods with great service. Worth the try.”

“Amazing street food menu - £20 for 5 small plates of street food. Menu changes and is inspired by places in India. Food is incredible. The rum old fashioned was delicious! Will be coming back :) staff are also friendly and welcoming.”

“A beautiful restaurant which is a hidden gem. The moment you walk in you are welcomed and the service continues lead by Francis the GM. The food was absolutely delicious. Chef Shoeb delights us with his cooking taking us on a journey of pure pleasure. The biryani is a must especially as it is made in a bamboo and served at the table. This is a place we will be returning and I can’t wait to try some of the other dishes on the menu. All the food is Halal and mocktails are available”
