Lunch buffet in London

“Excellent little place. Great coffee, good value, really friendly service and a very good selection (incl. GF, DF, vegan etc) of delicious cakes, biscuits, juices, sandwiches etc. So glad such a lovely place is just around the corner. Will definitely be back.”

“Highly recommended. Very friendly staff from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. Great food. A fantastic family run business. Well worth a visit.”

“Little Monkey = Little Gem. Everything was lovely. Wonderful Thai flavours, good portions combined with a buzzy atmosphere. First time here, but we'll definitely be back .”

“My favorite place with Indian cuisine! Garlic naan is amazing, I often ask for extra garlic and it's absolutely amazing! I always take Butter Chicken, full of spices and flavors, and the more spicy Chilli Paneer, and it's great! The portions are good, the prices are very affordable for such delicious food. I have never been disappointed by this restaurant and I visit this place regularly. If you haven't tried it, you must!”

“Our Pakistani friend took us to Haweli restaurant in Ilford for dinner. We had lamb and chicken curry, lamb biryani, various kebabs, it was delicious, and our first time having Pakistani food, we all loved it. Sumbul provided excellent service. She was very polite and hospitable.”

“I had breakfast here on a busy Saturday. I asked to sit in for a couple of hours whilst my wife, daughter and her friends shopped as a birthday treat. The manager (Nadine) found me a quiet table in the corner with a nearby power supply as I mentioned I wanted to do some work. They genuinely couldn’t have been any more helpful and I didn’t feel any pressure to vacate the table at any point. All the staff (including Abbie & Rahmi) who looked after me were great, can’t thank them enough.”

“Always, great food, great service lovely people. This is the best Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant for many many. We are lucky to live in Abbot. They have popular cabaret nights once a month also.”

“This was our first time ever eating in an Indian Restaurant. We were well received and served by the staff. We would recommend this establishment to others to dine on fine Indian cuisine!!”

“Very good experience first time trying an Indian restaurant in London !! Service was perfect and everyone is very nice !”

“My wife had been before, so she already knew what to expect, but for me it was something completely new. We were slightly pressed for time as we had a train to catch back up north, so I was a little worried about queues and delays. Sure enough, when we arrived there was already a queue forming outside, and the weather looked like it was about to turn. Thankfully, the team at Dishoom were quick to act – we were seated outside almost immediately, and service began straight away. That efficiency made a big difference, as it meant we could relax and enjoy the meal without clock-watching. The setting itself was welcoming, even outdoors. Despite the looming rain, the atmosphere carried the lively, bustling energy that jaipur is known for. There’s a sense that you’re part of something bigger than just a restaurant – more like a communal dining experience where everyone is there for the same reason: good food and a warm vibe. By the time we were leaving, the rain had just started to fall, which made the timing feel almost perfect. As for the food, it really was excellent. Everything we ordered arrived quickly and was cooked to perfection. jaipur has a reputation for bold, flavourful Indian dishes that balance authenticity with modern touches, and that was exactly what we experienced. From the seasoning to the presentation, nothing felt rushed despite our limited time. It’s rare to feel both unhurried and well-looked after in such a busy spot, but the staff managed it brilliantly. Overall, taste of jaipur was a fantastic first-time experience for me. Efficient service, delicious food, and great timing meant we left full, happy, and on schedule for our train.”

“been eating here for a few years and has always been delicious and cheap and quick! feels very authentic with Indian drinks, sides and deserts, too. They recently changed management and updated the menu. At first I was a little worried but the food was even better, with some really nice hand made aromatic chutneys and still the same quick service.”

“We love getting takeaway from Spices. The food is always delicious and delivery quick. The staff are friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.”

“A Proper Little Cafe - Great Find Was in Rickmansworth on a Saturday morning and looking for a proper brunch spot that wasn't a big chain. Stumbled upon Cafe Deli 122 and it was exactly what we were after. First off, it's a small place and was pretty bustling when we arrived, which is always a good sign. We managed to get the last free table. It's not a fancy spot by any means; it has that classic, unpretentious British cafe feel, which was perfect for a relaxed breakfast. The menu isn't huge, but it has all the essentials you'd want. I went for the poached eggs and my friend had scrambled eggs on a toasty bagel. You can tell they use good ingredients. My eggs were perfectly runny and served on some proper thick-cut toast. The coffee was decent too – a good, strong flat white that actually tasted of coffee, not just hot milk. Service was quick and friendly, no fuss. The lady behind the counter was managing the rush really well and still had a smile for everyone. The best part is the price. For the quality of the food, it's brilliant value. It's easy to see why it's popular with locals. If you're looking for a solid, no-nonsense breakfast or lunch that tastes great and doesn't cost a fortune, this is the place. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.”

“From a subjective standpoint, I have discerning tastes when it comes to food, however, this establishment has significantly impressed me with the exceptional taste and freshness of its offerings. The staff members are exceedingly courteous and provide excellent service. Although my original intent did not involve dining here, I was in the vicinity picking up parts from Mazda and Dealer. I happened upon this invitingly named restaurant across the street, prompting me to seize the opportunity to sample their cuisine. The experience was truly remarkable.”

“A lovely place: friendly and very reasonably priced home cooked food. I recommend the soup - usually a choice of two.”

“Nice interior, great service and even better coffee. Very friendly service. Would definitely go again”

“Honestly one of the best brekkie's I've had in a long time. I asked for the bacon to be done so crisp you could snap it and that's exactly how it arrived - not under or overdone. The staff were super lovely, too. 100/100, would recommend and will be back!”

“A classic cafe, I'm not from London and it's exactly how cafés used to be. You would say its a greasy spoon with decent food. I had the number 2 breakfast, swapping chips for bubble. The bubble was amazing, creamy and very buttery, it's not something that we can get in Wales. I would recommend this place as its very reasonable as well. Staff were friendly”

“Use this Cafe most days and never had a bad breakfast. Service is great. Prices are very reasonable. Would recommend....”

“Good atmosphere and excellent service welcomed us to this small place. We tried most of the dishes offered on the concise menu. The wait wasn't long, the dishes arrived gradually and we were given the opportunity to taste all the courses in due time. Excellent presentation of the food, excellent quality of the products, different dishes with varied, distinct and surprising tastes. From the photos you can see the beauty of the food and at the same time you will understand that it will be good to the palate. This is one of my favorite restaurants. I advise you to go on foot, if you go by car you will have some problems with parking, I found a really expensive paid one, 3.75 per hour, or go in the evening after 6.30pm.”

“Lovely Sunday night treat for just me and mum as we were staying in the area. Food and wine were delicious, service fantastic and good value too. Gorgeous little place !”

“Rumbling Tum Café is a true gem in Ruislip! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm welcome by the staff, who are not only friendly but incredibly patient and helpful. The café offers a fantastic variety of food options, whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a delicious lunch, or a satisfying dinner. The quality of the food is top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and served with care. The environment is exceptionally clean, and you can tell that the staff takes great pride in maintaining a pleasant atmosphere. Whether you’re dining in or taking away, the experience is always enjoyable. I highly recommend Rumbling Tum Café for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a comfortable place to relax. Don’t miss out if you’re in the area!”

“I'll echo previous reviews, freshly prepared Indian food! How unusual, from the preserves served with home made poppadoms, to the beautifully seasoned mains. Just fantastic, black dal full of flavour and the goan king prawns were fabulous! The chef was also more than happy to help accommodate our need for milk free food also. Only one criticism, the goan fish curry was salty but lacked flavour I felt. Everything else was superb though, and considering the excellence everywhere else, still deserves 5 stars.”

“Chilli Cha Cha’s in Kingston Upon Thames Marketplace has excellent customer service and delicious, freshly cooked food to order in front of you. I love the pakoras and wouldn’t buy them anywhere else. The aromas are amazing and very enticing. Lovely owner and staff.”

“I was on vacation this week in London. Found this place on google maps and didn’t expect it to be so good. The food was amazing. The servers were excellent. They were so accommodating. Would recommend this place to friends and families any day! We had a variety of dishes. My favorite was their Tawa Speciall. Their biryani was a family favorite.”

“Tandoori King prawns bhuna very good quality foods. MashaAllah”

“Been a while since last visited but got to say, very impressed with quality. Ordered large haddock which we really enjoyed including wife who is from north of the Watford gap and reckons all the chippys down south are useless and overpriced. Large Chips were great as well, plentiful and everything cooked to order. Well done frydays and well deserved awards!”

“I lived in the area for 3 years and always loved Methi. The best Indian restaurant in the area for sure. I miss it dearly. The service is really friendly, and we ordered delivery before which was quick.”

“Had a weekend brunch here and we absolutely loved it! this place is local to me and I couldn’t believe I’ve not been here before. It’s a cute café, decent food, very welcoming staff (they probably know half of the people who come in here as they seem to be regulars) ☺️ We enjoyed our food and the portions were generous! It’s the little things that I truly appreciate, the decor, the way the food was laid on the plate and the atmosphere in the cafe. Overall, would recommend!”

“During my 7-day stay in London, Bento Bab has been my go-to restaurant. The food is always freshly cooked and served hot, which speaks volumes about its quality and consistency. Serving time is reasonable, ensuring a smooth dining experience without long waits. The pricing is fair for the quality offered, making it an excellent choice for both regular meals and casual dining. Highly recommended for anyone looking for freshly prepared, flavorful dishes at a good value.”
