Weekend dining options in London

“They clearly work really hard here to deliver on not just food, but ambience, service and offering too. The food is great, the ambience always so welcoming and interesting, the service is so personal and warm and the offering is always changing and exciting! This used to be my local and gutted that I don’t have anything similar on the other side of London but I love to return with friend whenever I can. Photos on my camera roll from lots of different times I’ve been attached.”

“Delicious food- so fresh and cooked perfectly. Amazing, friendly and attentive service. Great food, great prices and great vibes!”

“Great atmosphere, delicious food as always Turkish cousin. The best place to enjoy your meal while served by such a classy and elegant staff. Such a vibe.”

“Two of us visited, went quite late into the evening for burgers. We ordered ‘All Hail The Cheese’ & ‘The Duke’ Both delicious in flavour, but would 100% come back for the Alll Hail, Service was quick, and friendly enough, didn’t wait long for the food either, good portion size and very filling. We had a slight issue with what we ordered but was rectified quickly which makes us happier to come back.”

“Ambiance 8/10 Location 9/10 Service 10/10 Food 9/10 Ordered: Papadam: Paneer Butter Masala: Good portion, with right consistency of gravy and flavour Garlic Naan: Crisp and made well Plain Naan: Crisp and made well Honey Lamb Chops (Please note: These are cooked in honey therefore have a slight sweeter taste. In case you are looking for spicy lamb chops I would suggest letting the chef know) The food was freshly prepared. We were served by the owner who was extremely friendly and professional. I would definitely go back.”

“Our favourite Thai restaurant Very compact small place , but has a lovely friendly feel and tastefully decorated”

“A restaurant I want to gatekeep out of selfishness. Every time I have ordered the food has consistently tasted like it’s been made with love. Even though I didn’t grow up eating this kind of cuisine, it tastes nostalgic and I can’t get enough!”

“An absolutely wonderful and delicious venue! I’ve been here a few times and always had a great experience. The Moussaka is to die for! Huge shout out to Andy - wonderful customer service and creates a great atmosphere every time!”

“I discovered a poper little gem, to be honest. The breakfast is absolutely banging! Fresh food, full of flavour and cooked just right. It’s honestly hard to find a place where you feel truly welcome, but this spot really gets it right. Portions are very generous, the coffee is a proper good cuppa, and the service is friendly and spot on. Lovely vibes all round, will definitely be coming back.”

“My partner and I have recently moved to the area, my parents came to visit so we booked la casita. As we are new to Streatham/London in general, we did not know what to expect but this place was absolutely amazing. We had a bottle of wine, a jug of sangria, paella, steak, lasagne, bolognese, as well as starters and desserts. It was the best meal we have eaten in a long long time and the sangria made it feel like you were on holiday abroad. It was lovely, the waiter and waitress were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!”

“Absolutely in LOVE with food here ❤️ I can see the Mediterranean- Middle Eastern cuisine is now one of a kind in restaurants in London, and I’ve been to a couple of other restaurants. But I think this place impressed me the most with food! What a gorgeous flavour every meal brings to your taste buds. I was enjoying every bit of them! The waiters were very attentive and helpful too. We had a gorgeous food while enjoying Georgian wine which is a rare find in the UK. I would love to come back soon to check the rest of the menu ❤️”

“Good place for a laid back cup of tea or cigar. Outdoor heaters keep you warm and staff are attentive and courteous. Would certainly recommend. Will be coming back to try the food.”

“Great place to get a drink in turnpike lane. Really friendly staff and decent prices. Didn't eat here but the food looked and smelled amazing”

“Excellent Sunday dinner - absolutely delicious! Excellent value for money. The waitresses Ieva and Maya were fantastic and attentive. It was such a wonderful afternoon, we will definitely return ! Thank you !”

“We always look forward to visiting JOHNNIES – the staff, service, and respectful customers create such a lovely atmosphere, whether you’re with family, a couple, or just chilling alone. Thanks to my good friend for introducing JOHNNIES!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at Eat Well Restaurant in Beckenham! I tried the chicken wrap, and it was absolutely delicious. The Levant grilled and marinated chicken was tender and packed with flavor, perfectly complemented by the fresh coleslaw, crisp lettuce, and a sweet yet spicy honey sriracha sauce. The homemade chips were crispy and seasoned to perfection, and the salad with balsamic vinegar added a refreshing balance to the meal. I also appreciated the dips being served separately, which allowed me to customize each bite. A truly satisfying meal—I will definitely be back!”

“Amazing Italian restaurant, with attentive staff Amazing calamari starter followed by salmon & mussle dish , sea bass & mash and delicious cocktails & wine too by the river in Canary wharf”

“This was quite literally the best fish and chips I've ever had, me and my wife enjoyed everything about our meal from the food to the service. (I didn't try the desserts) The fish were crispy and juicy The chips were plump and fluffy The calamari and prince prawns were also cooked to perfection All The staff were also very friendly and helpful 9.5 / 10 - I don't believe in perfection but this was pretty close. I will definitely be returning.”

“Coming to work from West London to Bromley this lovely place caught my eye. Had the best Jerk Chicken pattie as it was so nice and flaky. Spoil for choice of desserts as I have a sweet tooth, so I to go for the Pear and Peach Crumbles and wash it down with good old Guinness Punch. Great customer service as well. Will I come again? For sure. Thank you ladies xx xx”

“The best burrito place in the south east in my opinion. Not a bad word can be said apart from the option to have 2 sauces with your meal as 1 isn't enough, well isn't enough for me anyway. Service was good and the loyalty card is an added bonus which will be filled extremely soon by my children and I.”

“A brilliant hidden gem! If you love fantastic food with brilliant service this is a must visit. Plenty of choice of mains and desserts. Would especially recommend the pizza, lamb or pork belly and the creme brulee”

“Visited the Rose and Crown pub over the weekend while in the area for a wedding. It was the closest place so we took a chance. So glad we did ,the staff were helpful, welcoming and had a great sense of humour ,we were treated like we were old friends .The atmosphere was brilliant the place very comfortable and the food was unbelievable. The attention to detail with each dish was incredible , it was hard to pick a winner so choose what you want it will be delicious. Do yourself a favour when in the area and visit the Rose and Crown you definitely won’t be disappointed. Very highly recommended,thank you to the team for doing such a great job.”

“Had a Birthday dinner few days ago and can only thank for a brilliant service and food.Haven't been there for few years and surprised the restaurant kept the same good quality of food, and service, maybe even better. Didn’t make any pictures this time but everyone was very happy with they food.I don't know any other peoples names working there but they all were very good and polite . It's very good vines available in restaurant.The man name Paul was serving our table ,he he was listening very carefully what vine I like and he recommended very good vine 10 of 10,just perfect.Well done to all stuff,very nice and cosy atmosphere there,big Well done to the chefs. The only thing I want say is not a complaints I didn't ask when we start ordering the food,but it will be nice if customers can be asked about the allergies before ordering food. So is the best Italian restaurant in the area for sure. Inga”

“Really lovely evening here to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The pork belly was really good, and the negroni was delicious too. The service was great, and the restaurant itself was really nice - definitely forgot I was in Theydon Bois! Thank you for a good night, I will definitely come back!”

“Best burger in area.fast serves I enjoy my breakfast”

“Amazing food, everything we tried was unreal! Definitely recommend! Hidden gem!”

“We had a really lovely meal at Efsane! The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive to your needs—they often think of things before you even have to ask. The restaurant is clearly popular, so I’d recommend booking a table (super easy to do online). We went on a Thursday when they had a DJ playing—great atmosphere, and the music wasn’t too loud so you could still have a proper conversation. As vegetarians, we were really happy with the choice on the menu. We started with the meze, which was absolutely delicious and very generous in portion size—we even had enough to take home. The baklava for dessert was also amazing, and the virgin cocktails were really tasty. Overall, a great experience with excellent food, a welcoming vibe, and thoughtful service. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Fantastic food and spectacular service especially from King x Thank you for your hospitality will return very soon x 2nd time coming and yet again King as pulled it out of the bag and made my mum and dads anniversary extra special. Thank you so much”

“This is the best Indian takeaway in the Borehamwood area. Lovely lamb rogan Josh and good saag aloo.”
