“-- I recently had the pleasure of dining at XXL Restaurant, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! The food was incredibly tasty, with a variety of flavors that truly delighted my palate. Each dish was prepared to perfection, and the generous portions left me completely satisfied. What stood out even more was the friendly staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive service. The team was not only helpful but also genuinely enthusiastic about the menu, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Additionally, the prices were very affordable, making it easy to indulge in a delicious meal without breaking the bank. It's a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Overall, I highly recommend XXL Restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food, friendly service, and great value. I will definitely be returning! ---”

“This is without a doubt the best Costa I have been in. It's always clean and tidy, the staff are amazing and the coffee is excellent. In particular Miles & Stef are brilliant, they're always so polite, friendly and helpful. It's a pleasure to go there.”

“Nice bright pub, very busy and quite loud at times but a great friendly atmosphere. Drinks were reasonably priced.”

“Had my Mercedes EQE repaired here through my insurance for some mechanical and bodywork, first time using them. Amazing work and extremely professional team. Jay and Raj are fantastic, so polite and welcoming. Car was returned fully washed and waxes. Will definitely be bringing my car again for any future repairs. Keep up the excellent work.”

“I've been coming here for some time to get my nails done and always had a good experience! Very friendly and they do a wonderful job!”

“I’ve been to Yana twice now. I took my son there to get his hair wash and blow dried as I was finding it difficult to manage. Yana was very welcoming and worked her magic. His hair has transformed. He had such a sore scalp previously and now he doesn’t feel a thing when I’m combing it! It’s a joy now. Thanks for all of your advice and knowledge you’ve given to the both of us to keep his hair beautiful x”

“Took my son who is nearly 2 for his haircut. The barber was very polite, friendly and patient when it came to cutting his hair. He was very attentive to our needs and took his time to get the perfect cut. It’s the first time we tried this barbers and we will definitely be going back.”

“Every time I’ve been there the staff have always been friendly and helpful. They’ve been patient with me too, which I appreciate as I’m not a big DIY kinda guy. They’re also dog-friendly and give my dog treats, which is nice of them! :)”

“What an amazing place!!! I cannot fault anything about my stay, from a really comfortable bed, to great service. Breakfast freshly prepared for you, what more could you ask for, this is definitely not my last stay.”

“Amazing food and amazing service! I come here very often with my partner and if you ever have the pleasure of being served by Renata then you’ll understand why I am writing this review. Thank you for always being so kind, friendly and helpful. She always has such a great and positive attitude and makes our experience better, the food is always freshly prepared and delicious too! Would highly recommend.”

“Absolutely loved the food. It’s our 2nd time here in a few weeks as we loved it the first time. I’ve just exclaimed to my wife that this might be the best pizza I’ve ever had!”

“Great place for a quick food stop. Polite friendly staff, freshly prepped food , reasonably priced and great overall service. Will definitely visit again”

“UPDATE: I’ve been craving their crusty burgers so returned today and am pleased to say it was as good as my first experience. Some of best burgers I’ve had in UK. ORIGINAL Perfectly executed, simple, double smash burger. Well-crusted thin patties, fried onions, pickles & mustard, no-nonsense bun and good fries, £10. Searched for ‘burgers near me’ and this great find popped up. Still thinking about the great beefy flavour two hours later. Nothing fancy, just tasty.”

“The food and atmosphere was great. They even took the poo out the shrimp which is a win for me. The decor was pretty and aesthetic. We were served by victor he was lovely and very vibrant. The ‘pink fluffy drink’ was cute and packed a punch. The nachos share platter was very nice. The ‘mac melt’ is a delightful. The only bad thing i would say is the coleslaw was room temperature and tasted a bit old but it didn’t really make a difference.”

“A very clean place and a very pleasant ambiance. The burgers we had were delicious, ai am sorry I didn’t take a photo of them as we started eating straight away. The manager and the workers there are very friendly and open, also the place has a lot of potential for bigger parties or events. The ingredients in the food are very fresh and the sauces are home made! Very rare thing in restaurants nowadays! The meat inside the burgers was even better cooked! Don’t even compare it to Mc.Donalds or any other places. A very very nice experience for our first time in a “Wimpy” place. Thanks!”

“Amazing customer service especially from Justyna Food tastes as good as it looks Will definitely be returning here”

“Koz Ocakbasi offers an exceptional Turkish culinary experience that left me thoroughly impressed. The food was simply amazing, beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors. The meat dishes, including the ribs and mixed grill, were absolutely outstanding - cooked to perfection and full of deliciousness. The calamari was a delightful surprise, large and flavorful, and the bread was irresistibly good. One standout dish was the Lamb Beyti, which was nothing short of amazing. The tomato sauce that accompanied the dishes was a true culinary delight. The overall dining experience at Koz Ocakbasi was one to remember, with each dish leaving me wanting more. If you're looking for fantastic Turkish cuisine that impresses with every bite, Koz Ocakbasi is a must-visit. I will definitely be returning to savor more of their incredible food and experience the delightful flavors all over again!”

“been coming here for years. always on time and great tasting food. can’t fault it”

“First time visiting, will definitely be returning. Got something light this morning, and it was very tasty and good value. Can't wait to come back for a dinner.”

“This pub was once the place to come in Greenford. Lovely premises with enormous back garden and like a local pub is supposed to be as everybody knew everyone and newbies were welcomed and loved it. Due to later recent management, many of the locals left as it became the place NOT to be.....(we all miss you James). Like many others, I left for pastures new and found new pubs as the atmosphere was toxic at times. Popped in here a few weeks ago on a Saturday night to find this lovely pub almost empty which shocked and saddened me. The pub and the people here now are like it was way back then, friendly and welcoming however...... I know from talking to the people I know that the prices are a BIG problem..... For my particular tipple (Guinness) I can pay far,far less for a pint. This isn't central London, this is Greenford. Rumours about the owners wanting it to die and sell the land are a common theme. Marston, this place is a moneypot with some decent support. Stop the silly "offers" bull , lower your prices and bring this place up!”

“Great Little Irish Pub, best Gunniess in Greenford by far, great for the criac, live music on the weekend. Made to feel at home straight away. Trad session on Mondays, Karaoke on firdays, definitely worth a visit if your near the area.”

“So far my favourite Polish shop. Great choices of food and nice and welcoming staff”

“It is a very small park, with a children's playground. It has a large green area and a dedicated basketball square. The flowers around the borders are attractive and seasonal. There are a few varieties of trees too. Good for bark rubbing and trying to spot variants. There are some dedicated benches scattered around the park and a flat area for cycling and walking that does a circuit of the green grass. Handy for Ruislip Manor tube station and the local buses.”

“We really like coming here. Friendly staff, clean and efficient, great coffee and choice of drinks. Love the quirky decor and tables. I had a fantastic full English today, the best I’ve had anywhere for a while. Well done team doing a great job.”

“We used Rara Caterers for a funeral service and they were excellent. The food was prepared with great care, served on time, and everything was handled with professionalism. Thank you for your support and service.”

“Sarah and her mum the owners are amazing and the staff know me by name which makes me feel so special, it actually feels like you have your own personal shopping service as sarah and the girls are so attentive. The clothes are lovely too and they have a range for young, older, small and curvy. Love the end”

“Excellent local pub. Plenty of beers on offer. Multiple sports screens. Just a generally good pub.”
