Exceptional dining in Twickenham

“Extremely well-located Lebanese restaurant - at the heart of Twickenham’s high street area. I mostly opt for takeaways. The restaurant is small but cosy. The food is delicious with a large vegetarian selection. Busy at all hours but the staff is mostly friendly! I liked the dishes, the crockery and the place has a buzz during the day, especially on weekends. On a recent dine-in we tried the yoghurt & cucumber starter dish, a couple of vegetarian wraps and a Meze platter for one - which was especially good value for even two people, if accompanied with a selection of 3 or so savouries! Tasty food and at good value. The staff are friendly and cordial, but the service isn’t exemplary - if only because the place is really busy at most times and staff are busier with the preparation. Even so, it’s the kind of local diner you’d find yourself visiting fairly frequently. I recommend it !”

“The noodle dishes were excellent, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. We also had the Thai green curry and jungle curry, which were both very tasty. The jasmine rice and sticky rice went well with them. The staff were friendly and helped us choose our dishes. A big plus is that the chicken is halal. Overall, the food was delicious, and the service was great. Highly recommend!”

“We went to the restaurant a couple of weeks ago as we wanted to try some authentic Italian food. The service is provided directly by the owner and it feels like you were in some place in Italy. Food was the best quality we have tried in the UK. Again, it makes you feel you are in Italy. The chef cuisine was fantastic and the even combined one of the pizzas with the famous “Porchetta”. Being Spanish, I felt the taste and warmth of the Mediterranean. Really pleased with the experience and 200% recommended”

“Panas is a fantastic destination for anyone seeking to experience authentic Nepalese cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a comfortable environment creates a dining experience that is truly hard to beat. Highly recommended!”

“If you want to eat the best chicken shish in London a must visit location… a lovely family owned kebaba shop which we have been visiting since I was little and now take my children.. well priced excellent food wonderful staff and fresh food highly recommended”

“Good customer service and good food always it's BEST.Not too spicy good fresh food everyday.”

“Don't let the negative reviews put you off booking. We really enjoyed our stay in one of the 'Premier Plus' rooms, it was lovely and clean, the bed was comfy and all the staff were really nice and helpful. We ordered breakfast, which is served in the pub (The Winning Post), which is on the side of the building. It was amazing; there was plenty of choice (even as a vegetarian), and the cooked breakfast was made to order. Again, all the Staff were sociable and friendly. We will definitely be back.”

“Been in London for 24 years and tried Brazilian food from different companies but sabor & cia did the most amazing Brazilian snacks and sweeties.. very traditional and delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

“I recently attended a whiskey tasting and had such a great experience! I’ve never been much of a whiskey drinker, but the selection we tried completely changed my mind. The flavors were rich and smooth, and I learned a lot about the different types and how they’re made. I’ll definitely be getting more into whiskey after this — highly recommend this tasting to anyone curious or new to it!”

“As an avid fan of Japanese cuisine I had a great dinner at Umi. The menu consists of a wide variety of different Japanese dishes which accommodates for all kinds of meal preferences. All the dishes we ordered were very fresh and were prepared with great detail. All dishes worked to create an authentic experience. In particular, the pork cutlet in the curry don was cooked to perfection with a crispy breaded surface and a tender centre. The sashimi had a umami flavour which is always a pleasant surprise in good quality sashimi. The establishment has a comfortable atmosphere and the high quality service provided by the staff of Umi ensured that we had a great time. I would highly recommend Umi as a go-to for authentic Japanese food.”

“What a pleasant experience. We were greeted at the door and seated by the friendly "Ben" who anticipated our needs throughout the evening. Ben brought us some complimentary warm focaccia and olives to nibble on while we made our menu choices. The menu has a good balance of dishes and I quickly decided on my choices along with a bottle of Ramaro for the table; I have a soft spot for Sicilian red wine. All dishes were well plated and tasted as good as they looked. The portions were also very generous, perhaps "Mama" was in the kitchen dishing the plates. After the meal, there was little room left for dessert, so I shared a panna cotta with my wife; I have to say that it was the best I've ever tasted. My only regret is that I didn't choose one of the seafood dishes, they looked realy appetizing. My relationship with crustacions has always been one where no matter what precautions I take while shelling them, a jet of oil always squirts out and slashes me on my shirt. Perhaps next visit I'll wear on old shirt or a bib; perhaps both.”

“I had the Linguine Granchio at Bella Vita last night and it was absolutely fantastic — perfectly cooked pasta with tender, flavorful crab in a light, aromatic sauce that tasted incredibly fresh. For dessert, the Tiramisu was heavenly — creamy, rich, and just the right balance of coffee and sweetness. Every bite was pure Italian delight! The service was friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

“Lovely little Italian spot in Twickenham! We had pizzas. Especially enjoyed the Caprino, which was packed with flavour. Finished off with a delicious tiramisu and a smooth limoncello. Great food and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“My dining experience at Shuili in Twickenham was nothing short of amazing. The restaurant has a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. We had a wonderful family dinner at Shuili. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making it a great spot for kids as well. The menu had something for everyone, and the food was outstanding. The food was fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. The Burrata Chaat was a delightful surprise, loved equally by the kids and adults. Choosing a favourite between the lamb chops and the jumbo prawns was no easy task but if I had to pick, the lamb chops edged ahead with impeccable flavour, perfect texture and presentation. I would highly recommend Shuili for anyone looking for a memorable meal!”

“Really good Thai food with great flavors, and they were happy to accommodate special requests. Not cheap, but definitely worth it and highly recommendable. Try the coconut rice as a side - mouth watering!”

“They were extremely welcoming. The service was absolutely amazing, it’s decently priced. The portion sizes are great. I loved it.”

“Visiting from Montréal. Recommended by family and friends. This place was cozy and felt like home! Antonio and his son’s welcomed us with open arms. The food was just like eating Sunday lunch at Nonna’s. I highly recommend it.”

“Lovely surprise! We have lived in the area for years and never tried the restaurant under the new management before. We liked the mussels and prawns dishes a lot. Pizza and Parmigiana were nice as a main but not as much as the starters, those were top. The chef must be really good skilled in handling fish dishes I guess, and we'll definitely be back to try more. Service was attentive and not obtrusive.”

“Great cafe and honestly great workers,especially the main guy (sorry im noy sure of his name). He always makes sure to make his customers feel comfortable and satisfied with his service and the cafe is just generally really cosy and homelike-its literally like my luke's cafe to loralie (gilmore girl reference). A great person really makes a great cafe.”

“Great staff, great produce, great value!!”

“I would like to say a big thank you to Helena and Zen for the fabulous Kitchen we have just had fitted. We absolutely love our bespoke hand painted kitchen built by there local Joiners. We chose their British range over the more contemporary German style and Reece who fitted it was a genius in his flawless work.. Best decision we made and highly recommend.. Thanks again and best regards Geoffrey & Christine”

“A nice Japanese restaurant in Twickenham. The food taste is similar to what I had when visited Japan a few months ago. The sushi and chirashi taste really good. If you are visiting Twickenham, this restaurant worth a visit.”

“Delicious food with so many different flavours to enjoy! We had a wonderful meal. The chef truly touched my heart—the dishes took me right back to home.”

“First time visiting after seeing the positive reviews, and I thought I’d give them a try. I was greeted by two lovely ladies who took my order. I had the Labbuffata breakfast and was blown away! It was so flavorful and beautifully presented. Thank you for the amazing experience!”

“Sheraton Interiors designed and fitted our kitchen 5 years ago and we have been delighted with the quality and layout. Recently we contacted them as we needed to replace a few worn bits. Mehroze was extremely helpful and arranged for the parts to be delivered and fitted. We would thoroughly recommend this company for faultless service.”

“A real nice experience in Indian dining. Started off with the reviews of course and then the dining. The cider choice, was a koppaberg which was refreshing. Thr samosas in the chaat were complimented with channa aka chickpeas and vatiyon other accoutrements. Delicious. The murg tikka was quite good too but would have preferred fit bit more heat n the green chutney served with it. On to the main course with lamb saag and dal makhani with breads. Both ere well cooked and excellently spiced to provide a great end to the meal. Unfortunately no space for kulfi.”

“I worked in London for about two years and was staying near Tangawizi. I ate there a couple times a week many many times over that two year time frame. I absolutely love it there. The food is phenomenal and always has the highest quality ingredients. The service is exceptional as well. Eight years later, we returned to the UK for my 60th birthday and I wanted to visit them again due to the fond memories I had. Our dinner this evening was just as phenomenal as ever. The flavors and freshness of the ingredients was incredible. The King tandoori shrimp are a favorite of mine and I literally got another order for dessert rather than a normal dessert. They thought I was joking when I ordered it for dessert! I travel frequently for business and have had the opportunity to eat at many phenomenal restaurants and they are at the top of the list with the best! I’m so happy they made it through the pandemic and now celebrating 20 years. I would highly recommend Tangawizi!”

“Lovely place and lovely food ! We went without reservation and they welcomed us anyway. Quite fast serving even if was very busy . Big portions and tasted amazing . Friendly staff , speaking also in Italian . They offered an Italian amaro drinks too after dinner . Definitely we will go back !”

“We live nearby and visit this cafe frequently. Always very polite and friendly staff to all (not sure what you need to do to make them angry as one person said in his review). I love their croque monsure (please forgive my French) with goat cheese, cakes, coffee is also lovely. Clean and tidy, they do alterations to accomodate my baby food requirements ehich is very important for me. Thank you))”
