Dinner date night in London

“We've booked upon cravings of some good authentic italian meal on Mother's day. Deapite it being a busy night,which was expected, the staff managed the rush perfectly and provided friendly and efficient service. We had tasty arancini and fried camembert. The gorgonzola gnocchi were mouthwatering. Premises had a welcoming atmosphere, and the bathroom was sparkly clean and well maintained. We very much enjoyed and look forward to coming again”

“Truly delicious and exciting food - highly recommend the pani puri and aloo firecracker. We went on a weekday so it was very quiet and a nice ambience. The manager was rude and abrasive to his staff in front of us which was disappointing, but hopefully a one-off.”

“Went there for my wife's birthday dinner and we were so happy with tasty food and excellent service. Drinks from the bar took a while to prepare so eventually we ordered different drinks but other than that everything went well. Happy wife and kids.”

“Absolutely delicious meal! Every dish was bursting with flavor, the portions were generous, and the drinks were the perfect complement. The service was also excellent, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience. 10/10!”

“I had the 6-course menu for lunch, and everything I ate was delicious. I drank a glass of champagne and was pleasantly surprised to have received a cake for my birthday. The service was impeccable, and the setting was beautiful. I absolutely loved it.”

“Lovely little place! I found them on Instagram and after seeing the daily cakes etc posted on there I had to check them out. I went on a Saturday morning, sat outside and had a lovely brunch (Eggs Benedict) and chatted to a couple of ladies outside whilst we all had coffee too. I then treated myself to an amazing cake that I took home for later! Service and food was great. I plan to go back tomorrow morning :)”

“First of all, that Korean kimchi pancake is really tasty as it’s so doughy but crispy outside. The ice cream would be the perfect ending of the meal!”

“LOVE this restaurant! It’s great to have such a varied menu to choose from. The staff is gracious, the food is delivered nice and hot - and Delicious!”

“I've been here four times and I cannot believe that I haven't reviewed this place yet. First of, this is the only Thai restaurant I've been to four times (and I don't live close). Food is always amazing, and service is always fast, attentive, and welcoming. It's not your typical Thai restaurant, but the flavors are there. Last time we went we ordered the turmeric roti, nice, flaky and full of flavor. We also got the salted turmeric flossed tiger prawns, and I recommend two each (by default the order comes with three, but you can add one more), the crispy pork belly, and the beer battered chicken. We weren't that hungry last time, no none of the larger dishes. We've had their larger ones before, and we were always happy.”

“Fast service and great food. The seating area was very clean, and the atmosphere in the shop was excellent.”

“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.”

“I have been to this pub a few times.since the new manager took over (i think he has been managing for around 8 months now). They are a very friendly community based team. Today for example a lady in a wheel chair was outside and asked me.to let.thr staff kmow she needed help. Thr manager immediately let.me tell him even though he was really busy. Came out straight away and mads the lady feel special and supported. He even tried to find a comfy seat available for her and one that was not high. When I have been here before the manager was again very chatty and explained he wamts customers.tk feel special and valued. He certainly has achieved this. The ither staff also are friendly and always approachable. You will be served here quickly as they make customers a priority.the food is amazing too.”

“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?”

“We attended a wedding on Saturday the 26th of July. The food was amazing. We had such a wonderful time. Beautiful couple, beautiful venue.”

“Tried this place for the first time and I will be back definitely. Great food, very nice staff and reasonably priced. Well done guys!”

“I was here for the first time for an early afternoon dinner. This is one of the pizzas I had in London.It’s real Italian and very tasty. The straciatella and spicy salami pizza is just the best. Burrata must be good but I will try that next time. The cocktails are also great. One of the few places which has campari spritz on their menu. The value is also good. If you’re coming for dinner at prime time you should book but otherwise you’re OK. I will be coming back.”

“Amazing food, amazing service definitely recommend to everyone number 103 beef dish amazing”

“We just found this litte gem what can I say from the friendly staff to the stunning food will definitely be coming back !!”

“We booked this Jazz bar/restaurant for a birthday celebration. The staff were amazing, reservation and restaurant. The food was just amazing, I never had Tuna Steak this nice. Others had the Lamb and they also praised it. We started with starters (although I have to say the portions were so small, I don't mind paying dear, but they should increase the portions) and oysters. The Jazz band was very professional and not too loud. The restaurant allowed us to bring our own cake which was much appreciated. In short, the service, food and atmosphere were great and we left with unforgettable memories.”

“Excellent food and service. You couldn’t want for much more from an all you can eat restaurant. Food arrives timely and hot. Very tasty. Great staff and very helpful. Highly recommend the place.”

“Friendly service, cheap prices and brekkie was great.”

“Nobu is above the price range where we normally eat out but as we are fans of Nippon food, thought it was worth visiting the grand daddy of Japanese/Peruvian restaurants. It was an enjoyable experience, if dear. Our main waiter was excellent, advising on how much to order, deciding on the sequence and pairing of food arrivals, and instructing us how to best to enjoy certain dishes. This was not the case with all staff who sometimes just dumped dishes on our table. Happily our main waiter stopped by to instruct us to taste the miso black cod on its own first before trying it with the dots of sauce and saving the wand of pickled ginger for the end. Similarly the dry miso powder served with the grilled asparagus was meant to be sprinkled on top, though we also used it as condiment for dipping. First to arrive was a double order of tuna tacos with dry miso. Very delicious, served at room temperature and the seasoning was more reminiscent of truffle than miso. Tiny portion, though, with taco shells just shy 3 inches in diameter. Second to arrive were the star dishes of black cod miso and grilled asparagus with dry miso, both served warm. Portion sizes were thankfully generous. The black cod was delicious because the sweet miso and mirin marinade was applied very thinly and grilled until slightly blackened, so the flavour was complex rather than just sweet. It didn't need the dots of extra marinade mixture on the plate which we both found too sweet. A long thin stalk of pickled ginger was decorative both for its sculptural shape as well as its fuschia to white ombre hue. However, it tasted just like the pickled ginger you normally get with sushi. Asparagus was attractively charred but still succulent so probably blanched prior to grilling. Apologies for the photos as we started tucking into this course before remembering to take a photograph. Next to arrive were chicken skewers with anticucho sauce. Chicken breast was shockingly tender and juicy. I do not know how the kitchen team achieved this texture. Anticucho sauce was okay but nothing special--pretty much the same as in other Nippon restaurants. The garnishes of pickled cauliflower, hijiki and daikon were a lovely contrast. A sweet puree of pumpkin was a nice foil for the anticucho sauce. This portion consisted of two large skewers. Finally our order of maki fillers arrived. We had been unnecessarily worried about tiny portions so ordered a few rolls to fill up on rice. Scheduling these to arrive last was last was a brilliant move on the part of our waiter, as these items were not spectacularly different from maki rolls available at any Japanese takeaway that uses decent fish and serves sushi rice at the correct temperature. I liked the futomaki style house roll served with soy. We also had yellow tail and Jalapeno roll served with ponzu. We took home some maki's in a takeaway box because we were full. The restaurant is windowless in the basement though there is a pretty honey wood decor, recalling both Scandi and Japanese aesthetics. The wood panelling also resulted in excellent acoustics. The disco beats from the bar were far away enough not to be disturbing. Portion sizes were mainly good. I was a little surprised that the only South American ingredient in our order was chilli. We washed down our meal with the cheapest red at £55 which was very pleasant. This is at a price point where we might not dine here again. Dinner for two including the bottle of house wine came to £219. I was glad for the experience and certainly learned some new things to try to reproduce at home.”

“Really friendly, and swift, service The food was spot on, and Katherine was an excellent waitress. Will definitely return here”

“Local bossman is lovely always hooks you up with the best pizza, amazing price for quality and quantity on takeout”

“Me and my friend had bottomless brunch here yesterday and we had such a lovely time. The food was so nice, the restaurant is stunning and it was a nice atmosphere. A huge thank you to our waiter Radu for making our experience at the restaurant memorable, he was so friendly, polite and attentive, an outstanding waiter.”

“This is a great place, my pizza was the best I have had and the staff were very friendly.”

“I recently visited Taverna In The Park in London, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! Nestled in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the setting is relaxed and perfect for grabbing a bite after a walk. I ordered the halloumi souvlaki wrap, and it was packed with flavor—perfectly grilled halloumi with a slight crisp on the outside, fresh salad, and a deliciously creamy sauce, all wrapped in warm pita. The skin-on fries were crispy and well-seasoned, making them the perfect side. The staff was friendly, and service was quick despite a steady stream of customers. The homemade lemonade was also a highlight—refreshing and not too sweet. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Taverna In The Park for a casual, satisfying meal. Whether you’re craving Greek street food or just want a nice spot to sit and enjoy the park, this place is worth a visit!”

“First time ordering the food was 10 out of 10 banging pizza had a perfect medium crust the workers were friendly and had a very positive atmosphere. For the price and quality in this economy it’s one of the best I’ve seen will definitely be going again”

“I stumbled upon Mimi’s Kitchen Eat-In and Takeaway for a late lunch, and I’m so glad I did. The food selection was impressive—fresh, well displayed, and ready to go. I had the Jollof rice (absolutely divine) and the “fish platter”, which was perfectly seasoned and sweet, tender plantain. I also tried a bit of my friend’s moinmoin and it was DELICIOUS. (I literally want it right now.) The customer service was lovely too—the server was kind & mindful when my friend asked if the Jollof and moinmoin had been cooked with any meat, as she’s veggie. It’s always appreciated when staff are considerate about dietary requirements. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to make the drink options and their prices a little easier to view—it would make adding a drink to your meal a bit more effortless. But honestly, that’s the only (tiny) thing. All in all, a perfect lunch find!”

“When you go out to an expensive nightclub in place located right within the heart of London, specially located anywhere near Berkeley Square, you do not count your money. Quality experience is what counts. The aim of going into a nightclub such as Luxx is not to focus your energies into staff behavior but to seize every moment to enjoy the music, savor the drink, and live in the moment. Rather than justifying the amount paid to get into a club and focusing on negatives with the purpose of badmouthing later on, one should learn to be a little more tolerant. I only say this because nightclubing lifestyle is completely different from living in a day lifestyle where people have their sleeves down and are expected to do things right by following appropriate standards. Yes, it is also true that the crowed can get rowdy at times and the staff members have to deal with visitors nuisance yet they have to gather courage to carry on serving other visitors and to see the night through despite challenges. So, in short, I just want to say, relax, and have a good time.”
