Inviting eatery in London

“Been coming here for 5 years for the delicious paninis. The fact that they're a family owned business is a big bonus to me. This shows in the unfailing friendliness and quality. Shout out to Jan Senior and Jan Junior. Keep doing Highgate proud!”

“Came in with my boyfriend ordered 2 patties for a quick munch. I am usually intimidated by Caribbean restaurants as customer service isn’t always great. But the lady and the man in the shop running the place were so welcoming and polite and lovely and made us feel comfortable. The patties were gorgeous and hot and decently priced. Will only come here from now and can’t wait to try other food. Thank you ! X”

“Lovely local café with loads of vegan breakfast options. We went for the vegan brunch platter with sausages, bacon, pancakes, fruit, maple syrup, jam and whipped cream. The biscoff frothee coffee was divine! The owner is very friendly and gladly discuss any alternative options so don't be shy! Free wifi and garden dining (currently closed due to refurb).”

“A small but mighty team runs this gem of a restaurant. Delicious food and relaxed ambience makes this a perfect spot to meet a friend or two or have a date night. You might even want to do take away but then you’d be missing out on the warmth of their customer service. Would recommend and will be back.”

“Ordered some food for take away, first time ordering from here and was recommended by my friend that the breakfast here was really good. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, as I wasn't sure what to order and what I could get as take away. We got the pancakes nutella and toasty mediterranean. The food looked amazing and tasted great, would definitely recommend it. I also overheard another customer asking for their eggs to be changed to well done and the staff immediately redid their egg for them without a moments hesitation, thumbs up from me. The cafe was very comfortable and had a welcoming environment. I even noticed a corner with a doll house for children to keep themselves occupied if need be. Edit: went back again for the Turkish sandwich and ice vanilla latte, such a taste bud delight”

“I'm very fussy about eating out, and this restaurant was recommended to me as I don't eat meat. The staff are friendly( which is rare when it's a woman serving a Woman), nut most of all the food is fresh and taste lovely, I have not been disappointed with anything that I have purchased.”

“This is my favourite place to eat, period. ”

“Every weekend we visit Mem’s and everytime they’re so welcoming and food amazing. Best spot for miles”

“I was in the area, and being from Birmingham, I saw this place first. What a blessing! It was a lovely, cozy spot that looked like a family-run Caribbean restaurant with beautiful service. The lady introduced me to sorrel juice for the first time in my life, and I'll definitely be looking forward to trying some more closer to home. The food was delicious, and it was Halal. May God bless you guys and your business.”

“We ate in last week and had such a wonderful meal. All the food was fresh and tasty and the friendly staff could not do enough for us. The price of the food was remarkable, better than any competing restaurant and take away and so much tastier. We will be regular visitors both dining in and taking out”

“We came in just before closing time and were pleasantly surprised by how warm and welcoming the staff were. Despite the late hour, they treated us with kindness and made sure we felt comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s rare to find a place that combines great service with such tasty dishes, especially when we arrived so close to closing. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“The Biscoff Cookie pies and pancakes are amazing. I received my order via delivery and it all came warm great portion sizes as well and secure packaging. I will definitely be ordering again!!”

“La Piazza is, by far, one of the best restaurants in the area. Having been a few times before, I knew what a great place it was: friendly, welcoming and with delicious food, prepared and served with genuine passion by the owner. And this occasion was no exception. Rubik’s hospitality was - as usual - second to none, and he made my dinner date with a friend very special.”

“Excellent small independent business in the heart of Epsom market place close to cklok tower The owner is warm friendly as is another staff Ella and Maria!!!”

“Took my fiancé here today as we’ve been missing Japan and it’s hard to find Japanese restaurants that are more comfy cozy. This is the perfect place!!! It was a very comforting atmosphere, the man working there was an absolute star and the food was 10/10!!!!!!!! We will definitely be back!! ありがとうございます。”

“First time trying this place very impressed with the taste texture and crispiness of the chicken great chips and lovely burger very polite and friendly service too I shall return for more”

“Never tried schnitzel food first time went to this restaurant n truly loved The sizzling Hawain the best in love juicy crispy overload, and the Mushroom Arancini is a delicious mix of crispy and creamy - a golden shell with a rich, earthy mushroom risotto centre. The schnitzel comes out perfectly golden-lightly breaded, tender inside, and seasoned just right. No greasy heaviness, just I at classic crackle when you cut into it. Love the ambiance the staff were very friendly felt relaxed and enjoyed the evening here”

“Had an absolutely fantastic meal here this evening. Food was delicious, perfectly cooked and nicely presented. The service was second to none and we felt truly at home despite it being our first visit (of many, no doubt!). We were especially impressed with how friendly and welcoming the staff were and our 18 month old absolutely loved it there. Our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! As other reviews have mentioned, the front of the restaurant doesn't do the place justice. If you're wondering what it's like, just go and try it, you won't be disappointed!!”

“The food here is super delicious and way better than I expected! The chef is really friendly too. The place might be small, but the flavors are huge — everything tastes so fresh, and you can tell the ingredients are handmade with care. Don’t just walk past this shop, or you’ll miss out on some truly delicate and tasty food! You can really feel the effort they put into every dish. Definitely coming back to support them again!”

“best Greek food ever had, accessible prices and friendly staff. I would have loved to give you guys a better picture but I started eating right away. Tasos is the best!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience here. Halil was extremely kind and gave us free homemade hummus to go with our meals. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was not busy. Our food came out very quickly and was delicious. I got a ham omelette, which was perfectly savory and came with chips and a small salad. It filled me up and the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back for another tasty meal!”

“Great location and atmosphere, also fabulous owners. Friendly, safe family environment in the park at Turnpike Lane. Facilities available inside. Clean and good value. Open later in the warmer weather. Highly recommended.”

“Nice coffee, Nice and quick service”

“What an amazing selection of food, drinks and snacks from this place! 100% coming back here to this place. Friendly staff and good quality food!”

“A wonderfully friendly small cafe with inside and outside dining options. All 3 of us loved the food, we ate half before taking the picture. The portion sizes are good. Custom made sandwiches to order. The Focaccia is made on site and absolutely delicious. The other breads are ordered in from a bakery. They also have Korean and Italian cupboard foods for sale. We purchased a green tea seaweed pack that was reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and smiley, answered our questions about the food and you could see by their interactions with other customers, they have a lot of regulars.”

“5 stars are just not enough for the food and services we received in GIA. Would have given them 10 stars if Google allows! We lived in Dalston for our stay in London and found GIA accidentally. We went there twice during our stay and both the English and Mediterranean breakfast we had were absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh and all the food on the dishes (even the honey that they make it themselves) were so delicious that we still want to head back for their breakfast even after we moved out from Dalston! The waiter there was very nice and considerate and it’s definitely a very pleasant experience to have our start of the day there! Highly recommend this place to anyone!”

“We had our lab Christmas dinner at Pizza Pilgrims Camden and I can’t recommend this place highly enough. The food was excellent- the usual deliciousness and high standards from Pizza Pilgrims :) The team and the organisation of the dinner was exceptional, we were a large group and we were working with tight time constraints but they made sure the dinner ran to schedule, all dietary requirements were met and most importantly the dinner was really fun. Thanks so much Josh and all your colleagues, you’re the best!”

“Read some good reviews and thought we’d try this place out. What a hidden gem in Wandsworth! Starters and mains were exceptional. Went for hot mains as it’s so cold outside. Service was impeccable. And very reasonably priced - we were amazed when we got the bill - would have been happy to have paid a lot more! Definitely will be coming back when the weather’s better to try out the sushi and the many other delicious sounding items on the menu, which was extensive. Now up there with our favourite restaurants in the area and no hesitation in recommending! Well done to the team!!!”

“Lovely and freshly cooked food! Massive portions, great value and friendly staff 5*”

“Absolutely delicious food and outstanding service. Would definitely recommend and we will return!”
