The Great Chase

I really wanted to like this place as I watched the restaurant grow and evolve into what it is today. Though I was highly disappointed, the restaurant itself is nice visually, and we weren't rushed with our booking which was pleasant. The lady serving us did her best to accommodate to our needs too, so I cannot fault her.

Though the service for food itself was extremely slow. My friend had something on her ice which was immediately replaced as the waitress noticed.
The food was very very bland, there was no flavour whatsoever, the only thing that had flavour was the stuffing ball. I had to put lots of salt and pepper and kept dousing the food in gravy and paid for an extra gravy pot but was still lacking depth in flavour. The gravy itself was so watery which was off putting. The menu also states you are served roast potatoes with your dish but you only get 1 bland potato, which lacks crispness too.
The desserts being £10 each was insanity considering the tiramisu was awful, it just tasted like cream and bitter coffee. The sticky toffee pudding was nice but far too sweet and the crumble I'd say was just right.
The whole bill for 3 people and 1 child was £175 which I find extortionate and I'd be happy to pay those prices if the food actually had flavour, would I return based on the same experience? Unfortunately not.

Me and my husband came in for my birthday dinner. I had the sea bass and my husband had the roast.

The sea bass was exceptional, the taste, the presentation, the different textures. It was definitely a dish you don't forget. Although the great chase is known for their roasts this dish is definitely a must try.

The chef and owner talked to us and it's clear how passionate they both are about the food they make.

Would definitely recommend.

Came here as we were looking for some halal Sunday roast. I recommend booking in advance as they do seem quite busy and the restaurant is a little on the smaller side. They also had some mocktail options which were all very delicious.

The Sunday roast was delicious, you could chose from sirloin beef, lamb shank or chicken. I opted for the beef. Although everything was good, I felt that there could have been a little more vegetables with the roast. Also they have a set way of how they cook the beef so it was quite pink.

We also opted to try the desserts that day. Their sticky toffee pudding was really good and I’d definitely recommend trying that. As for the price, it is a little pricey compared to other roast places but I would say the restaurant definitely a high end type of vibe.

I went to their last venue for my 10 years anniversary, 3 years ago. Now that they’ve moved, this is an updated review.

The menu has been changed slightly to make it more appealing to the customers. I cane with three others, and tasted something from everyone’s dish. They never fail to surprise me! The food was 11/10, place was kept clean and tidy and customer service was excellent! What a lovely venue to have a great evening meal! I will continue to come here and will highly recommend this place if you haven’t already tried the food here.

What an amazing experience. My husband and I booked for our wedding anniversary as we were looking for a chilled vibe and comforting food. We got both and more. The food was outstanding from starters, mains to desserts i can’t fault any of it. We never visited the previous venue but I can say this was worth the travel and money. The portions and quality of the food are worth the price and the experience, you really can’t go wrong. To top it off service was impeccable, and seeing the chef cook live was brilliant, chef Karhan checked on us regularly making sure we were happy with the dishes. 10/10.

We only use halal meat in all of our exquisite dishes. Completely alcohol free.

Granger and Co. Notting Hill

This place is excellent.
We decided that this was our place for brunch, one lazy Thursday morning.
No queue as this was in between brunch/lunch crossover.
The vibe inside is classy as you’d expect from this area.
The highlight for me was the porridge and tea.
The flat white was also delightful.
Our guy was very attentive and made key recommendations and was polite and respectful as well as courteous.
Definitely worth visiting and will go back.
5/5

The place is wonderful and the ambiance is a perfect brunch ambiance. The staff were friendly. The scrambled eggs are very fluffy and satisfying. The coffee was amazing. The only thing is the menu is very limited, so don’t expect a hug variety of things. Also the avocado sourdough is good but the bread was a bit hard to my liking. But overall it was nice and i would definitely come again.

Such a lovely spot for brunch! It’s a very nice interior in the middle of beautiful Notting Hill. The food was outstanding. Really fresh, healthy and tasty. The winner for me was the tea smoked salmon, just super perfectly cooked and soft, very flavourful but unlike normal smoked salmon. You definitely pay the upper price range but for a nice treat it’s worth it!

Come in the morning instead of typical brunch time - you’ll avoid a wait. Got in quickly on a Saturday morning at 9. Great, friendly service. Banana pancakes were worth the hype - big and fluffy, if a little eggy. Mint tea was overpriced. (Nice bathrooms too - always have to check out the bathrooms!)

Warning: wait is inevitable 😎 you cannot book so you have to get to the restaurant, and leave your details. We waited for about an hour but there are lots of little shops etc to look around in the neighbourhood so an hour passed by quite quickly. The atmosphere is buzzing and staff were all super friendly, trying real hard to serve, and even though it was very busy, the team did great job being attentive. The fried rice was on point together with kimchi - definitely recommend with poached eggs, the Bloody Mary was delicious and perfect way to start the day.

All of our chicken is Halal. This includes our chicken schnitzel and the roast chicken salad.

Granger & Co

Granger & Co. King's Cross

I love the decoration very much here. Its relaxing, modern, newly furnished. The food was fancy as well. I ordered the crab toast and it was good looking. The taste was alright though. Yuzu cocktail was amazing - my friends loved it so much. The dessert was a bit disappointing though - we were expecting some cakes but it turned out to be three layers of ice cream.

Went as a group of ten and were lucky that they could accommodate us all. With such a group it is sometimes difficult to get all of the dishes served at once, but they managed perfectly.  Very hip and relaxing, we sat outside enjoying the warm weather but plenty of customers chose inside to unwind and chill.  Service was swift and friendly. Food was flavoursome and portion sizes were decent.
Plenty of choices on the menu and reasonably priced so all in all a nice place to go to recharge.

Good place to sit and relax. It was open and bright just by kings cross station. It felt clean and nice. Ordered a coffee, ricotta hotcakes and the chili fried egg. Portions were very large but tasty. It’s the type of place you feel like you relax when you get in, especially early in the morning. It’s a refreshing start to your day, where you could probably sit for many hours to enjoy.

I have been at Granger multiple times and every time I arrive here I order the same ricotta cheese pancakes with banana and maple syrup. The food is delicious and the staff is really nice. It is a bit pricey but the pancakes are worth it.

I ordered the grilled cheese and kimchi sandwich and it was phenomenal! Just the right dish for a vegetarian to order for brunch (:

The service was also amazing with the waitress checking if we needed anything to offering us tap water without asking!

I would definitely come again!

HIDE

Absolutely loved it! I would say it was the most delicious food what I’ve ever had! Service - amazing! Place is so stylish and cool. I’m not that posh person who can let myself to visit places like this too often. But it 100% must have place in central London! Stuff are so nice and polite and you feel comfortable in there. Highly highly recommend to visit it!

This isn’t the kind of restaurant that I can afford to eat at everyday but it’s perfect for a blow-out special occasion. We ate at Hide Above and it was every bit the Michelin starred experience that I was hoping for. The service was out of this world. The food was incredible. The entire experience was perfection, from start to finish. If you decide to splash out here, you won’t be disappointed.

Went for a quick lunch. Have heard mixed review about this restaurant. It has very nice decor with natural daylight. Some creative dishes and quite a good collection of wines. Ordered the set lunch and turned out to be better than I thought, great flavours with fresh ingredients and some twists. I enjoyed them, however the services are subpar. One of the managers was quite rude. She’s not professional and even said to me that, “I am explaining to you, this was…”  It definitely didn’t make me feel welcome or worth a second visit.

Really loved our dinner experience at Hide. The atmosphere was great, the food was impeccable and the service was excellent. Specially the sommelier who was just outstanding. The flavours were so fresh and complex, it was like taking a food journey. Highly recommend visiting and highly recommend signature acorn cake. A perfect date night destination

A great restaurant!
Directly opposite Green Park. The tables right by the window are great for watching the hustle and bustle (especially if you're dining alone).
Excellent food in a wonderful atmosphere. Be sure to order cheese from the trolley - you don't see that much anymore.
The wine selection is also impressive.
A clear recommendation! Thank you for a lovely lunch/afternoon!

Mr White's English Chophouse Whitechapel, traditional British dishes with French tweaks from Marco Pierre White

Mr. White’s English Chophouse London Whitechapel

We are very pleased by this restaurant.
The service is great, waitressess are really doing great job, nice and friendly. Georgina was very helpful. We are recommending the place and it's food, we were more than delighted. Nice atmosphere, discrete music, AC, very clean and tidy.

Excellent French Onion soup and all the deserts are great. We will come back. 5 stars ☺️☺️☺️🙏

Great location, plenty or nearby parking available. Ambiance is very relaxing and calm. Service was good and have come here a few times. First time trying french onion soup and must say, it was punchy with the flavours used, yet getting sweetness from the onions. Wild mushrooms on the steak was a nice touch and gives a deeper taste to the steak. The is the epitome of halal steak and value. Would recommend anyone.

This is a nice warm environment to eat in , the staff waitresses and waiters are all very pleasant and helpful.

Now I'm sure everyone has been struggling to find a decent steak place especially for those who eat halal but I have to say this place does steak really well and use good cuts of meat so you know you are not eating somewhere cheap.

This place does not have a expansive varied menu but what it does do it does very well namely the steaks.

I recommend getting the signature steak fillets or the butcher's cut which for me was slightly better.

The only downside I have to say is ;
1) the moktails are not that great
2) the steaks aren't cooked exactly how you want them for example when ordering a medium I'd get a medium rare, or if I asked well done I'd get a medium. That being said they are happy to take it back to the kitchen for the extra bit of cooking.

At the moment this place for steaks will rank in my top 3 places to eat because it's so rare to find a GOOD steak place.

Due to the minor issues and small menu is say this restaurant is a 3.8-4/5 stars

A local gem in the heart of Whitechapel. Great food, (offers halal meat, which is fantastic). Various Mocktails available which is always a bonus if you want to go alcohol free. Or you can always come for snacks, dessert and a hot beverage (mocha is my absolute fave and they make it well here). Love the chilled out relaxed atmosphere any time of the day. Some nights they also have free live music, which is a lovely touch. Lucky to have this as my local restaurant/bar/lounge and would definitely recommend you to try if you haven't already!

Lovely food. Good staff and lovely cocktails. We stayed at the hotel above and attended here for dinner.

For starters we both had calamari which was lovely.

Then we had the signature steak and chips which was also brilliant. Desert was a chocolate hot brownie, I couldn't finish it, it was so rich. But nonetheless I'd defo return 9/10

All our meat is Halal. Please let a member of staff know when booking or visiting.

Six by Nico London

I think this is truly a very interesting experience. The story and the movie themed plates are truly inspired. The plates are very tasty and for most of them, you were definitely wanting more. I would say that the plates are small and if you don’t have the snacks before you will be hungry by the time you get home. The wine is decently priced and good - we tried a few. I will be there again next month for the new menu, excited to see how it goes.

Hit & miss. Good and friendly service, with nice food. The tasting menus are hit & miss - they're incredibly well priced, but with that comes some average dishes. I've not yet been wowed by the two tastings I've done there (2021 & 2022 respectively). The wine pairings are average but nice. I'd like to try a different menu - overall a reasonable evening but not wow.

Booked a table for Christmas Eve and I really enjoyed the tasting menu. We had the chippie tasting and the steak pie was really the highlight.
Six by Nico definitely offers best value tasting menu in London.
The service was fast and friendly actually it was so fast that we finished the meal in just over 1 hour. For some customers it might feel a bit rushed.
Will definitely be back to see their new tasting soon.

Great experience. On the whole the food was really great. We had the Miami to Ibiza menu and there were some amazing dishes. Menus for vegetarians. The cocktails were hit and miss. Service was good. We felt the atmosphere was lacking. For a themed menu it would be great for the restaurant/atmosphere to match the theme.

Tasting menu was 6 dishes, of which only one was tasty, the other 5 were very basic, with very weak flavours…and Not what you’d expect for the price (especially given the sizes!).  Wine was good.
Place was too loud as their music was too loud hence people had to shout. Could barely hear the person in front of me, let alone the waiter explaining the menu.
Service was good.

Internationally renowned French Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten brings his signature cuisine to London

Jean-Georges at The Connaught

One of my favourite places to dine in London. The food is always exquisite from start to finish. The staff were friendly and noted any accomodations. The bread selection is very generous. I appreciate the wide range of vegan and vegetarian options offered, everything from the starters to the sides. I’d never tried the famous truffle pizza, and I’m so glad I did. The flavours were well balanced and strong without being too rich. The kale salad was also enjoyable. I especially loved the warm chocolate cake. Cooked fresh, perfect temperate and not overly sweet. It finished the meal off on a high. I felt the prices were completely justified for the standard of the food and overall experience. Look forward to returning.

Afternoon tea is a delight at The Connaught. Generous portion sizes, fantastic choice of sandwiches for all dietary requirements and the scones and cakes are so good. They had their own version of a Ferrero Roche which was amazing. The non-alcoholic sparking grape wine was brilliant too and they had a fantastic selection of teas - the white teas are a great choice. We have been twice - one at Xmas (menu) and once in September, but both were brilliant. Xmas is that bit extra special though and the gingerbread chocolate fondue was amazing. The staff are so knowledgeable and make brilliant recommendations too.

An amazing and beautiful place to have lunch.  The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.  A large selection of bread for starters with amazing butter served with it.  We had been treated for an early mother's Day lunch, and the restaurant had arranged a small dessert for us. A lovely restaurant with good food and great service.

We went for a romantic diner for our wedding anniversary and we had a great time. We even get a sweet treat surprise for  the occasion.The staff was very friendly and smiling without being too present. Our waiter Eduardo was just perfect, very thoughtful and kind. It was very appreciated. A special star to the chocolate and hazelnut dessert highly recommended!

Very food and quite pricey. The bread is amazing, they have lots of wine options and the service is fast but not very friendly. I would have expected a better service (they made a mistake with the time of our reservation and we still had to wait because the table was not ready yet. I think the way they manage this is not adequate for the level of the restaurant)

Lamb chops and beef fillet steak are both halal, with plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on the menu. Halal meat is to be preordered 48 hours before your reservation when booking, and afternoon tea is available every day of the week.

@halalfoodlondon's review of The Residency Notting Hill on Instagram

The Residency Notting Hill

First time carrying this new restaurant. Pleasantly surprised by the decorations and cocktail list. It was not a big menu but the food was good. Loved the beef tartar and the arancini. Had sea beam for main and it was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Unfortunately when we would like to order desserts, first we were told only chocolate surprise is available and we ordered that. Later we’re informed that even the chocolate surprise is not ready so no dessert for us. It’s a major let down given the meal had been great so far. Would really like to try their desserts as well which may have to wait for the next time.

Found the Residency by chance as I was walking through the neighbourhood. Really like the ambiance. Nice decor, good music. The service wasn’t great. I had to chase my waiter to get my drink, and we had to ask twice to get the bill. Cocktail had a lovely presentation and taste. The tuna tartare was yummy, though maybe could use some extra flavour. Was disappointed they “ran out of truffle fries the night before”. Definitely worth a try. Curious to see how this place evolves over time.

Fantastic experience dining at The Residency. The food was outstanding with a great, diverse range of options to choose from on their menu with a good selection for a variety of dietary requirements. The team is here is amazing; really friendly and attentive staff. I liked the atmosphere here and the general layout/interior of the restaurant is really beautifully done. Great experience and looking forward to coming back here soon!

Strongly recommend for dinner with friends or dinner with Family.
This place is so relaxing atmosphere and good and friendly Staff and food is so delicious.
Very clean restaurant with excellent service and good price
They have all options from Burgers to fish and also vegetarian options
Highly recommended

I can’t say enough about the customer service, hospitality and of course the delicious food at this lovely new restaurant!!!! We walked into The Residency at 12 minutes to closing time.  The owner welcomed us warmly and graciously even though it was very late.  He helped us get our drinks and chatted with us for awhile. The talented bartenders poured us a delicious specially crafted drink and our lovely waitress Sasha answered all of our silly questions with genuine sweetness and grace And the FOOD!! Oh my!  If you’re reading this, Please order the PRAWNS!! And save room for the triple chocolate surprise for dessert!  They are both to die for !!  If you’re going to be in London, this place is worth a visit!!

Al Mare

Marvellous! It is so wonderful to have a lovely restaurant to go to that serves Halal meat AND has first class service! Olivia is truly wonderful! Our first visit was for a birthday celebration and we have been making it a tradition to go back for all occasions! We have been there for lunch and even enjoyed Christmas Day breakfast there which was delicious! The eggs florentine were perfect!!
Olivia is so delightful and warm! She really makes our visits to the restaurant enjoyable and she has a lovely sense of humour 😁
So glad The Carlton Jumeirah has re opened and the hotel itself looks really nice. The ambience in the restaurant is classy and the quality of the service is truly first class!! Thank you to all the staff and especially Olivia who adds more cheer to our visits ☺️
10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of the best contemporary Italians I've been to so far in London. Incredible food, fantastic service and a nice setting. Prices match the quality £££. Solange and Alex and the rest of the team. were fantastic. Don't miss out on the Calamari (best I've ever had) and the insanely tasty French toast for dessert. Well done Jumeirah!

We had an amazing date night. The food was excellent and of the highest quality. We also had some cocktails at the bar. The ambience is warm and elegant, and the service is very attentive and thoughtful.
Would love to come back and visit soon.

Great contemporary Italian place with excellent food. House bread basket, Parmigiana di Melanzane, Vitello Milanese and Chianti of course are fantastic. Staff is super friendly so despite of the upscale look of the place experience is cozy and casual

We came for breakfast, the creme brûlée french toast is amazing. Service is great, however its very pricey for just breakfast with that limited options.

Colony Restaurant

Food for the price was fair enough but that was the only acceptable thing. For me personally I believe that the food and service are equally as important. The service was awful. Workers do not care about customers and are quite rude and gnarly in their approach. They have no idea what they are doing and did not treat us as the customers with respect when any sort of assistance is required.

Me and my boys came here to watch the Chelsea vs Liverpool FA Cup Final. Lovely service food was amazing nice seating and excellent shisha could not complain about anything. Cleanliness was not an issue. Definitely recommend friends and family to come here.

I don’t usually leave reviews but felt this restaurant/ lounge deserved one. Excellent food and shisha, customer services is always great.  Refreshing to see a place where all staff is polite and helpful, especially the manager Saeed. Would highly recommended the restaurant & lounge! You will not be disappointed.

Ordered on good to go app, we got a chicken dhansak ,naan and a drink.
Flavours were very nice,  since getting that meal we have been to colony a few times now and enjoyed our meals.
Staff are friendly and attentive, prices are a bit high, but we enjoyed our experience.

Place was really nice! Love the decor. Staff were excellent! Good can't do quickly and was great. No alcohol but the cocktails were amazing. Had 4 different ones. All fire!!! Shisha was top quality. Best Shisha I've had in a while. Would definitely say the flavour was up there and lasted long and didn't get ashy! Parking was easy enough to find. Venue is big and music was good too. Look forward to going again.

@halalfoodguy's review of Nova Parlour Ilford on Instagram

Nova Parlour

Enjoyed an evening dinner tonight and the new menu is amazing! We ordered a Rib eye steak, Korean chicken burger, chicken fillet, loaded fries and butter chicken pasta. All dishes were well cooked, beautifully presented and scrumptious!!! Well done to the Nova team.

Nestled inbetween the plethora of various eateries and shops on Ilford lane is Nova. What feels a little out of place for a restaurant like this.

We were seated downstairs although we asked if we could dine upstairs however we were told no and so reluctantly sat downstairs.

Staff were helpful and our order was taken when we were ready. Generally food was good and portion sizes were also good too. Felt the wings could have been more substantial and the mock tails were a little weak for my liking, but family were happy with theirs.

Definitely worth a revisit.

Amazingly yummy food at a excellent price, decent portions.
Quality service and talented chef. (Highly recommend)
= Happy wife 👍🏼
Only starters and drinks shown in pictures but we enjoyed our mains too much to take pictures.

Amazing food, excellent service and family friendly environment, would highly recommend! Desserts were heavenly!! Can't wait to come back! My new found favourite in Ilford 11/10!! ^_^

Setting is unique, a little dark but nice for couples.
Food was really good and full of flavors literally.
Desserts were great too but the only downside for me was the ice cream as it's their homemade one and not the usual vanilla ice cream.
Still would recommend the place as food overall was really good and price was NOT extortionate

Arc le salon, Mayfair📍

Our order: mushroom & truffle croquettes, ALS fried chicken, Filo prawns, Chilli plantain chips, blackened lamb lollipops, passion fruit and cranberry mojitos.

This restaurant/lounge was so pretty. The decor was everything. Perfect for Instagram pics for sure 😍 We decided to go for a couple small plates to try out. We particularly liked the filo prawns with the siracha ketchup,you cant go wrong with this starter. The sauce was quite nice, it had a lil kick to it. We’re not the biggest fans of truffle but we decided to try the mushroom and truffle croquette , it was okay for us but if you like truffle then you will love it. The chicken strips did lack a bit of flavour but dipping it in the siracha sauce made up for it. The presentation of the food was great as you can see😍. The mocktails were quite tasty and refreshing, we loved the passion fruit flavoured mojito. They have many different flavoured mojitos to choose from. There’s a separate seating area for shisha with a range of different flavours. There’s also an outside seating area which is really nice in the evening. Overall, the atmosphere was really nice and great hospitality. Very nice spot to chill on a night out with friends and of course the food is halal !!!! #arclesalon

@syrianfoodies's review of ARC Le Salon Mayfair on Instagram

@arclesalonmayfair is a discreet and more exclusive cafe and lounge for anyone who wants shisha in central. Based in the heart of Mayfair, this is a good option for anyone who wants to enjoy shisha in a more relaxed and private setting.

Food:

Beef Burger: Pretty enjoyable, the sauce carried the burger but I liked it overall.

Lamb Lollipops: My favorite of the menu - good quality meat, cooked to perfection and delicious glaze.

Korean Fried Chicken: Nothing Korean about it and the fried chicken was more basic than a local takeaway. Chewy, tasteless and bad quality.

Truffle chips: these were okay but I couldn't taste much truffle neither salt.

Truffle Balls: These were tasty and went down well.

For dessert we had  Strawberry milk cake: A really good milk cake, nice density and balanced flavoured. Very good. There was also a pistachio cream dessert which we loved. So very unique but a dessert that you'd expect in this kinda cafe - definitely worth a try.

Mocktails are noteworthy: Got the Arc special which certainly special and fire and spice which had a kick of spice. Both above par mocktails and actually done right! 

Shisha was good - starts at £70+ but nice smoke, coals were regularly changed too.

For a spot in this location high prices are expected but if you want a nice shisha spot with a very limited crowd (my preference), here's a spot for you!

Taste: 7.3, Quality: 7.8, Value: 6.7

@halalfoodtherapy's review of ARC Le Salon Mayfair on Instagram

ARC Le Salon

Amazing afternoon ! Food, cocktails and shisha were all superb ! Best shisha ive ever had and loved the carrot cake! Decor was lovely, great for taking photos. Staff were lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place - great location too :)

I had a great time visiting this venue. I really enjoyed the cigar lounge which had their own selection of cigars on offer, both Cuban and Non Cuban cigars. I went for the Fuente Fuente Opus X 2020 which was a wonderful smoke. The venue has a great selection of drinks/cocktails too. Will definitely return sometime soon.

Forget what anyone tells you. This is a shisha joint for the elite! Came to London for shisha and by fluke found this and do not be fooled by the bad reviews. The flavors are amongst the best I ever had! Not to mention the drinks along with the hospitality this place offers. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in London!

Thank you guys for everything! Keep doing what your doing!

We had the most wonderful evening at Arc Le Salon. Passion fruit Nojito is my favourite. Great bar for the drinks in Mayfair

Went to Arc Le Salon for my birthday dinner and to have sheesha. The whole experience was really good. Loved the food, its all halal so that’s an added plus. Sheesha was great. Service was good and we were looked after really well.

Galvin at Windows

Wow wow wow, definitely worth going to Galvin at Windows, the attention to detail is amazing, the food is   fantastic and the wine pairing with each dish was worth doing as it made the experience even better. The front of house staff are amazing and very attentive but not at all in your face they do their job to perfection and their knowledge about the food and wine shows that they are passionate about what they are doing.
Will definitely go again and couldn't recommend enough.
P.S The views of London from the 28 floor of the majestic building are amazing

Truly excellent. The staff were all friendly and attentive but discreet, and the view at sunset is spectacular. Food and wine was all delicious, and included the best piece of venison I've ever had. They coped well with my sister's allergies.

Absolutely stunning view of London. We fortunately received a window overlooking Hyde Park which was beautiful. The servers were lovely and extremely helpful and cautious throughout the whole dinner and the food was delicious. I especially loved the flavour of the lobster in the risotto!

Took my team for dinner and we had a good time there. The food did not have much of a surprise factor but was very pleasant all in all. Wine was great. The seafood main went cold quite quickly but was cooked perfectly. Nice complimentary offer to send postcards to anywhere in the world which was a cool surprise. Will recommend.

Btw, after 3 years, that post card still hasn't arrived at my parents... what do you think happened there?

Breathtaking views accompanied by high calibre fine dining. The atmosphere is amazing and you feel like you're on top of London. There are perfect views of Hyde Park. The menu is refined and tasty. The dishes were well balanced with some unique touches. I'm giving 4 stars because my experience was tainted by a large corporate booking (a table of around 20 people) making a lot of noise and chatting while standing around their table. They rendered a pub-like atmosphere, making it difficult to enjoy the dishes and hampered the service which was slow. Overall, I believe it is a good restaurant but may attract customers for the view rather than for the food and service.

We can arrange halal chicken, preferably if requested beforehand with at least 48 hours notice.

Frog by Adam Handling Restaurant Covent Garden

This is one of those restaurants where they pay attention to every single detail from the moment you enter to the moment you leave.
It is another level of mouthwatering food. I have been twice and I have decided that every time my husband suggests a weekend in London, the Frog is 😋😍The food is scrumptious, mind-blowing. It is artistic and I love the culture behind it. The sustainable ethos. I also love the open kitchen and you’ll see the happy, focused chefs working immaculately on every single dish.
We had Adam’s Classic for the taster menu which takes about 3 hours eating 🙈😊. So bear this in mind. You don’t have waiting time and you are not rushed over your food. It is so delicate and tasty that you feel like you're in heaven, a feeling added to by the wonderful atmosphere.

Honestly for the price and quality you do get quite a lot of value for the variety that is given. The tasting experience was amazing and you can appreciate greatly the experience they try and give through the flavours. Service was very attentive but not too much as well so you can still have that privacy for the dinner experience as well. Loved it!

Absolutely one of the top five meals of my life. Service was impeccable, never felt rushed or left alone for too long, every member of staff knew exactly what they were talking about, fantastic wine and cocktails and the food was a work of art. My date and I still talk about it months afterwards. Is it expensive? Yes. Would you do it every week? No. But if you have a special occasion that needs celebrating then Frog is going to be a very memorable experience. Superb!

Utterly superb. Awesome wine pairing and incredible food, each course absolutely delivered. Better than many other Michelin star restaurants from my experience.

Only constructive feedback I’d have, and I find this in a lot of tasting menu restaurants, the servers really rush through the description of the food. I’m sure they’ve said it hundreds of times and it really rolls of the tongue, but as the diner, this is the first time you’re learning about the dish and it’d be nice if you really felt like they wanted to talk you through it rather than it just been part of the process.

Still a top quality 5 star experience that’d highly recommend.

We had the vegan tasting menu and I would highly recommend it!

It’s always a bit of a bet with vegan tasting menu, chefs usually adapt the vegetarian menu by removing all the non vegan elements and as a consequence dishes lose lot of their flavour. But I must say that it wasn’t at all the case this time. Every dish had its own balance and peculiarity and it was delicious!

All of the meat we use is usually Halal, but we recommend the guests to add on the comments of their booking to ensure availability when they visit.

We came here for our wedding anniversary and sat upstairs. The food was wonderful, I don’t think words can describe how brilliant and creative it was. The atmosphere was very romantic. The upstairs room was smaller than it looked on photos, but very cozy and made us feel at home. The waiting stuff were very helpful and extremely attentive.

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever visited in London. It's romantic, the food is amazing and the service is impeccable. All the dishes we have ordered were absolutely delicious, with desserts being an absolute top class. The place is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a romantic restaurant. We had the pleasure of sitting in the conservatory, so we might have been less delighted if sat elsewhere, as some of the tables doesn't seem to have the same atmosphere, especially with the top floor being closed (at least when we have visited). The only downside was the wine that we were offered, as it wasn't quite what we expected and didn't like it very much, but got offered a replacement, which really saved our evening and made us very happy. We will definitely be returning and have already booked a Table for September. I cannot wait to be back. If you haven't visited this place yet, you definitely should!

After wanting to go for dinner here for years, I finally went last night and it lived up to my extremely high recommendations. The atmosphere was sensational, the service was truly impeccable, and the food was absolutely exquisite! I wanted to give a special thank you to one of our waiters called Ali - he was funny, down to earth and really personable!

The food and service were amazing. But when the desserts arrived I was expecting something special as it was my partner’s birthday which I specified when I booked the table...but nothing. I was a bit disappointed as I could see that some other couple next to us had a little chocolate cake to share but I didn’t dare asking for something.

We went for a birthday yesterday ( Sunday ) and the experience was overall good, the only disappointing part was that, despite having noted on the reservation that this is for a birthday celebration ( the server did asked and greeted us that this is for a birthday), there has been no candles and treats offered as shown by other customers here. We didn't asked about that as we are not sure whether their custom changed for them after the pandemic, bit still can't help but feeling a bit disappointed as quite frank, we chose this partly based on what they do for celebrations.

We ended up getting gelato elsewhere to celebrate though!

Chicken can be preordered when booking. Pork and alcohol served.

Went for our anniversary on 12/06/21 and everything was fantastic. The waiting staff were very attentive and friendly, and the food was delicious. We had the menu gourmand with wine pairing which complimented each dish perfectly and was described to us by the waiter before we tried. We also got complimentary chocolates and macaroons with a ‘congratulations’ chocolate plaque which was a lovely touch. This was our first experience having a tasting menu and we will definitely go back after having this! Thank you to our server Filippo and everyone else who tended to us for making our special night so enjoyable

We came here as a belated celebration and I specifically chose this restaurant as they catered for me with a vegan tasting menu. The ambiance is perfect, we were seated upstairs and would request this the next time as it felt intimate whilst maintaining a buzz.  The service and staff were impeccable, our servers Alfie and Rowan were an absolute delight, friendly, elegant and knowledgeable. My partner went for the gourmet tasting menu and swapped out one course for the vegan option which was fully accommodated and we both enjoyed every course of good and the accompanying wine pair. The cocktails are also beautifully smooth with an array of flavours. Fantastic experience - thank you Alfie and Rowan for making it!

I attended last night for a special occasion. The food and service was exceptional. We had the 7 course vegan menu and were very well catered for throughout. The building restaurant itself is also stunning. I can’t fault anything - thank you all.

My husband and I completely enjoyed our lunch there yesterday.  We had the 5 Course Tasting Menu & Glass of Bubbles.  It was delicious and such excellent value for £44.50.  My husband actually went for the wine pairing option.  The staff were all very nice; we felt well looked after.  Yesterday was  a Sunday and raining heavily and yet the place was almost full.  It was great to see and says a lot about the restaurant.

Used an experience voucher gift here for lunch. Impressive vaulted space, very smart and elegant. Impeccable service. Warm but not intrusive. Set menu small but very good quality. Chilled melon soup extremely good, as was Cornish fish. Very pleased with this experience, as was my guest.

Halal chicken can be preordered. Pork and alcohol present.

Oval Restaurant

delicious dish!!! best in Batumi!
highly recommended!

Lovely food. The restaurant was empty except for our table, so not much of an atmosphere. Still worth visiting.

Small Art Deco room, with excellent food and service.

This is in my top 3 list of favourite restaurants; and with so many good options in London; this is a bit achievement; this is one of those restaurants you will remember.

The service was just brilliant and our waitress was lovely; I which I had asked for her name but she is from Ecuador and was friendly, professional and lovely - a pleasure to talk to her.

The food was excellent; we had 5 different dishes and each of them was excellent; I can't decide which one I preferred the most but they're all delicious.

It is also very central so easy to get to; the only thing I wasn't very keen on was the decoration as it feel a bit clinical; however, this is just matter of time as my partner completely loved it.

Select dishes are halal. Pork and alcohol present.

Fenchurch

My 4 yr and I were on a father daughter date and a lovely lady called Anna at Fenchurch made the evening perfect by serving us dessert even though they were totally booked on a Sunday. Thank you Anna and the management of the restaurant. You made it a perfect father/daughter date :)

I went for lunch in this gem of the City and it was great since the start, reception team kind and well groomed, security very organised. As you enter  the design of the restaurant is impressive. Exceptionally friendly and polite staff. The food was excellent and the menu was concise with enough choice to satisfy most tastes. Wine selection and their cocktails superb.
Thank you :)

Lousy service, no views for most of the restaurant (surely its biggest selling point). Food was good but not for the price. A poor man's idea of a nice restaurant in a tourist trap.

Had a fantastic time for a birthday celebration. Claudia was the best host and the food was unbelievable from the starters right through to the desserts. After paying we were invited to finish our wine peacefully on the terrace outside so we could carry on enjoying the view with the sunset.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary - the food is exceptional, the staff are so courteous and knowledgeable. It really is such a fantastic experience and worth treating yourself and someone you care about/love! The view is amazing and make sure you tell the staff if you are celebrating anything, they are so nice.

Chicken and lamb can be preordered 72hr in advance.

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

Definitely met expectations - fantastic food and great service. Would highly recommend the tasting menu.

Amazing!!!
Try the lunch menu, its a great value for money
3 michelin star restaurant at it best

Beautiful, candle-light French restaurant. I very much enjoyed my visit at Alain Ducasse Kitchen! Since the very moment of arriving, staff was incredibly responsive and kind. Food was great and nicely presented. The wine list was rich, giving the option to choose among various pairings. I certainly recommend visiting Alain Ducasse Kitchen, you will not be disappointed! I will myself be back pretty soon!

Peerless service. 
Food was “good” but with a 3 star Michelin restaurant I was expecting to be wowed. Unfortunately I wasn’t; the exception being the desert which is the best I’ve ever had.

Out of this world experience. Staff was super attentive. Flavors explode in your mouth. Simply flawless! I cannot recommend it enough
