The 30 Best Open kitchen in London

“I've been going here since I was a kid with family. Great takeaway and worth collecting it as the staff are so polite and friendly. Haven't been in a while, and they recognised me after a few years. Would recommend this gorgeous food and hope to go back more frequently.”

“Great authentic Bolivian dining experience. Salteñas pretty good, sopa de maní and other dishes very tasty”

“Really good food! We ordered for a a group of nine in the food is ready in about 15-20 minutes. Food was packaged up neatly with heat seal. Will return again! Malabar cod fish curry was especially good!”

“We were torn between an afternoon tea at Cinnamon Kitchen, or going to Dishoom - and I’m so glad we decided on the afternoon tea at Cinnamon Kitchen! The food was incredible quality, and the atmosphere was very beautiful and relaxing. My personal favourite was the fish cake sandwich (and the chocolate mousse!) The service and the staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure we were happy throughout, particularly our waiter, Novin. A wonderful experience - I would absolutely come again!”

“Amazing food, really quick service”

“A wonderful little Thai restaurant. The service is great and food is magnificent. The Thai green curry was perfect, we ordered the prawn version and the prawns were succulent and juicy and there was plenty of them! The price is well worth it too. Highly recommend this place.”

“This place feels like a warm hug. The staff are kind, the food is simple but incredible and the atmosphere is perfect. The lunch deal is great value, especially for London. Try the homemade chilli oil, it's my new obsession.”

“Best Chinese food in the area. Best prices for the best food. I keep trying new dishes and they’re all too good. I like the new logo outside as well - looks quite cool also guy in the glasses is efficient imagine taking 200+ orders a night as a one man job. i couldn’t do it”

“Absolutely beautiful. The food was fresh and tasty. Portion size generous and reasonably priced. We will definitely be making a second visit. The lamb's liver was exceptional. Every dish we had was exquisite. Thank you”

“Great pub with great beer from a big selection! If you don't know what to order the staff will help you and you can try different beers. Food was also really good! Tip class cheese burger made fresh. Service is excellent!! Highly recommended!!!”

“Not the 1st time I went there. 1st time was great, and there again for a pre birthday brunch. This place is absolutely amazing. From the friendliness of our waitress to the welcome from the owner, the cleanliness of the place. Now, let's talk about the food.......mama Mia. Our meal was excellent (and my missus is fussy). 3 plates locked clean (not literally). I highly recommend this place. I gave it 5 stars but they deserve more. They didn't just looked after us. Everyone that came in were greeted warmly and looked after. Just go there and see it for yourself.”

“Had a fantastic meal everything cooked to perfection.Had a starter to share main courses and 2 beers, exalent value for the money.Very friendly and helpful staff. Arrived early evening, got a table straight away only a small restaurant, did start to fill up quite quickly. I'm definitely going back .”

“We came here for my brother’s birthday and it was wonderful. They gave a complimentary dessert for him. During the meal, we listened to some great songs and classics. Service was great, and they came to us very quickly and were very kind. We ate a family feast for all of us to share (5 people) and we couldn’t finish it , it was so big! We all loved the food and ate as much as we could. Would definitely recommend !!”

“This place is amazing , absolutely amazing , best service , best food , amazing interior , made my sisters birthday great . If you are in the area or you are not you have to come here!!”

“Poppadom Indian Kitchen is an absolute hidden gem. We visited with a party of 10 for a small Christmas work gathering, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The staff were genuinely friendly, welcoming and very helpful, offering practical recommendations without being overbearing. The food was outstanding. Everything we ordered was exceptionally fresh, beautifully prepared, and each dish had its own distinct flavour and character, with real attention to detail throughout. Our order included chicken tikka, salmon tikka, Jhinga Koliwada (tiger prawns), gunpowder calamari, gol guppas, chicken biryani, lamb biryani, lamb rogan josh, red ruby butter chicken, prawn curry, along with the usual sides of rice, naan, raita and kachumber. Every single dish was excellent. Portion sizes were generous, prices very reasonable for the quality, and it is worth noting that all meat is halal. The ambience across the dining area, restaurant and bar is fantastic, relaxed and stylish, yet feels like a real hidden find in central London. Overall, superb food, excellent service and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended and we will definitely be returning. One of the best Indian dining experiences I’ve had in London in a while, full of flavour and individuality.”

“Ordered from here tonight for the first time. Very pleased. The food was really nice and hot, good portion sizes, reasonably priced and delivery turned up even earlier than expected! Theres really nothing I would have changed! Will definitely order again.”

“This restaurant has affordable lunch sets starting at £8 for a main and an additional £2 for a starter. The spring rolls with the accompanying chili sauce, as well as the stir fried pork with basil and chili were delicious and helped fulfil my Thai food cravings. The milk tea was a great drink, especially on a warm summer afternoon. The staff were friendly and I’ll definitely be back for another meal soon!”

“I had the Calamari for my main and brownie for my dessert. I also had a strawberry Mojito. I absolutely loved every bit of my meal. Food is always delicious here, reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and accommodating.”

“What a lovely, lovely cafe. The lady who runs it was very attentive and helped me find a nice place to sit you tend not to get personal customer service any more so i really appreciated it. The coffee was really lovely and so was the food. I would really recommend this lovely cafe and will definitely come back again with my friends.”

“Great venue for a few drinks, footy, and some billiards. Good selection of drinks at a fantastic price! Always got some good deals going. Staff is also friendly and welcoming. A proper old school pub.”

“Very friendly ,always smiley and helpful when we come in.”

“I had a really nice stay, booked myself a private room number 7 with bathroom. It had a big window that opens fully into the inner yard, was lovely. Breakfast is super, English breakfast served by very nice ladies. The place is greatly located next to Hyde Park and metro lines.”

“Best Pad Thai in London!! Family owned restaurant attached to the back of a typical British pub. Lovely food! Nice environment. Only thing is you got only an hour at the table but they are quick bringing the food, and you can always enjoy an after dinner drink at the pub instead.”

“This pizzeria is run by wonderful people and a real gem in the heart of Horsell Village. The pizza never disappoints and is always a treat. Orders are always promptly accepted and prepared, so delivery is always fast. This evening, I ordered pizzas online, but forgot to order my favourite garlic mayonnaise. I called in and they kindly offered to add it to my delivery. Service is top notch!”

“Traditional Italian restaurant serving dishes as you would expect but also traditional street food from the region of Puglia. Service and staff were outstanding. The restaurant decor is stylish modern but a relaxing chiled out ambiance, especially in the evening when the lights are dim. There is 2 dinning areas the main area for parties of 4 or more then a side "hut" for parties of 2. This is better if you want an intimate less distracting meal with a friend or partner but can get cold in winter I assume due to the blankets that are available. The menus is made up of 4 main categories. Bites or starters which are small dishes. Shared plates you get a little more and order a few if you are not having a main dish. Bombetta - traditional Italian cured meats with cheese. Grills - main dishes. Everything on the menu was delicious without exception! The wine list is good but this can add up quickly to your total bill so have a drink before hand if you are feeling thirsty! All in all this is a hidden gem in the area and we'll worth a visit. I'll definitely come back to try other items on the menus as it all looked and tasted delicious!”

“Highly recommend this Chinese restaurant. Service was great, from start to finish and we all enjoyed every dish! Thank you for a lovely meal. If you’re in the area, do visit!”

“A lovely place to enjoy Chinese food. Everything was delicious and flavourful. The only reason I gave 4* and not 5 for the food is my personal preference is I prefer my rice with less soya sauce. There are no bells and whistles, just good food done simply. The atmosphere was nice and clean but perhaps a little dated. The toilet facility is clean, however, there is one toilet for both male and female (which is not a problem if not busy). Customer care was great! Angel greeted us and ensured we were ok from start to finish, thank you for being so kind to us. I would recommend and will definitely be returning.”

“Food was very good, got the half chicken. Full of flavour and also was great value for money. Also service with a smile. This is a hidden gem. Give it a try, can't believe I waited so long”

“I am over the moon with my wardrobes they look absolutely amazing!!!!!! It’s been such an excellent experience right from the initial contact, from the design visit (Baljinder) and then the visit to the showroom. Your service has been impeccable!!!! You designed a bedroom of my dreams ! The fitters were such lovey men and just got on with the job and they did a fantastic job and cleaned up after themselves. The wardrobes are of high quality, solid and beautiful. I look forward to getting you back to do my kitchen and the other bedroom! Highly recommend you.”

“We have a take away regularly from here and we have always enjoyed the food. Best we have used in this area. Definitely recommend.”
