Who doesn't love a lamb chop! There's beauts are from @kahanilondon. I really different spice flavour to them which makes them taste different. These were little cooked over for my preference, but till really nice.

@halalfoodguy's review of Kahani Belgravia on Instagram

Kahani Restaurant

Birthday dinner at Kahani, a modern Indian restaurant in Knightsbridge serving bold flavours and beautifully presented dishes.

We started with the Pani Puri, a generous portion of six pieces, crisp and full of spice. The Konkani Soft-Shell Crab was incredible: perfectly fried, full of flavour, and one of those dishes you immediately want to order again. The Samosa Platter (lamb, potato, and chicken) was golden, comforting, and well seasoned.

The Swordfish & Octopus Curry was a standout, rich, fragrant, and layered with flavour, and a surprise to find it made with coconut milk, which worked beautifully. The swordfish was incredibly soft and tender, almost melting into the sauce. Paired perfectly with naan and tandoori roti fresh from the oven.

Drinks were nicely presented. We had the ‘K’ Star Martini and the New Fashioned from the seasonal menu. Both were well balanced, though they could have been a touch stronger given they were house specials.

Beautiful setting, attentive service, and refined cooking that still feels warm and comforting. Definitely worth a visit for a special occasion.

Tried the tasting menu at Kahani and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The kebabs and mains were delicious — special favourites were the mushroom gilauti, the chaat, and the incredibly comforting butter chicken in the mains.

The desserts were creative with interesting flavour combinations that rounded off the meal beautifully.

Chef Peter Joseph and his team cooked and served an absolute treat. Warm hospitality, fantastic flavours, and a memorable evening overall. Highly recommend!

Had a lovely bottomless brunch with my partner ahead of her birthday! The staff were great and very attentive, especially Sharoq!! The food was amazing and we got to try so many different tasty dishes ranging from veggie dishes to meat dishes! 10/10 would recommend and will deffo come back!! We absolutely loved this experience!! ☺️

We enjoyed our anniversary lunch at Kahani using a Virgin Express voucher.  The food was full of flavour, completely vegetarian, and really interesting combinations and creations. Expect small portion sizes, a stream of flavours over six or seven courses, all beautifully decorated in a lovely central London location. Good decor and great service.  They adjusted some of the menu items for my wife as she cannot eat mushrooms!!

My husband gifted me a voucher for my 30th birthday for a tasting menu at Kahani and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in I knew the service would be impeccable and the food was simply delicious. There wasn’t a single dish we didn’t enjoy. So so worth the money. The best dinner we’ve had in a long time and such a perfect way to end my birthday celebrations. All that’s left to say is, thank you!

The Grill at Harrods

Great experience at The Grill in Harrods. The baby chicken was cooked perfectly with a well balanced char. The mac and cheese was flavorful, the saffron rice with caramelized onions was well done, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and satisfying. Worth a visit.

A delightful evening at The Grill at Harrods!

We were a group of four and was warmly welcomed at the entrance and promptly seated. Sylvia provided exceptional service with thoughtful attention, offering champagne and water while giving us ample time to explore the menu. Every dish we chose, we thoroughly enjoyed!

A truly lovely dining experience *****

Great experience at The Girl restaurant. I tried the baby chicken with rice and it was absolutely delicious – very tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is nice, but I highly recommend making a reservation as the place gets busy. Definitely worth a visit 👌🍽️

I had an excellent experience from start to finish at The Grill.  Possibly the best cheeseburger I've ever eaten with bespoke aioli and ketchup dips, a gorgeous salad wedge starter with gorgonzola cheese and a mouth watering cheesecake dessert. It was worth it.

The Grill at Harrods

The food hall, as designated by Harrods, is actually an epicurean experience. As expected from Harrods, the ingredients and quality are of their usual high standards. We tried the Grill for the first time and opted for a passable but rather disappointing UK ribeye steak. The service was not up to the usual standard. I suppose everyone has a bad day but will probably avoid the grill given the selection of eateries offering much better fare.

The Steakhouse at Harrods

This absolute gem is tucked away in a quiet alleyway in Knightsbridge and it’s a total escape from the hustle of the main road.

The space is beautiful - minimalist, chic, and incredibly clean - making it feel like a true 'boutique' experience rather than just a standard cafe.

We tried two standout dishes:

• Lebanese Ground Beef: Topped with harissa, crème fraîche, and perfectly poached eggs. This was the ultimate comfort food for a cold winter’s day - warm, savory, and incredibly satisfying.

• Avocado & Salmon Teriyaki: Served on sourdough with pickled chili and crispy shallots. This is a brilliant twist on a classic brunch item; the teriyaki glaze gives the salmon a unique depth that pairs perfectly with the creamy avocado.

Instead of coffee, I opted for the Assam Malt single batch tea, which was a highlight of the visit.

It’s served in a unique carafe and brewer where the lid actually doubles as the strainer - a very clever piece of design. The tea itself was rich and full-bodied, making it a perfect brunch companion.

Cool facts for those visiting:

• The "Secret" Alley: It’s located in a 'mews-style' alleyway that makes you feel like you’ve found a private local secret just behind the main Brompton Road.

• Tea Partnership: They often source their specialized teas from Lalani & Co, a boutique London tea family known for finding tiny, single-batch harvests from organic family gardens.

Co. is great for a posh brunch or a quiet, high-quality tea fix near Harrods. Highly recommended!

Visited CO London for brunch and had a really nice experience. They offer great brunch options with a good variety to choose from, all well presented and tasty.

The coffee was excellent and complemented the food perfectly. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it a great spot to catch up or take your time. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a solid brunch spot in London

the place is clean and well maintained, the atmosphere is cozy, but it was cold. it is quite noisy because of the close tables.
the staff is friendly and helpful, they helped us with a digital menu to choose what to eat. the food was very tasty, but the choice is definitely limited. in general, almost all the things offered on the menu I can quickly prepare at home. my cappuccino was bitter, which I personally do not like. the v-60 was too light for my friend's taste and according to him it was acceptable.

It was a nice place. Food was good. Atmosphere was clean and modern. The server gave me a look when I ordered a pot of tea, toast and scrambled eggs, like “that’s all”? My wife ordered the teriyaki salmon toast and we both had tea.

The food was delicious, the ingredients tasted fresh. The service was very attentive to begin with. The matcha latte was really good quality and had beautiful art which I appreciate.

Contemporary Chinese restaurant located on the 5th floor of Harrods

Chai Wu

Lovely little hidden gem  on the fifth floor of Harrods. The food was genuinely impressive – the sushi roll with crispy tempura shrimp and those bright tobiko toppings was a standout, and the lobster crispy noodles were unbelievably good, rich and comforting without being heavy. The steamed greens and dim sum were fresh and flavourful too.

Service was warm and attentive – dishes could have arrived a touch faster, but honestly, sitting in that cool, relaxed dining room made it hard to complain. Easily one of the best Asian meals we’ve had in a while.

The Wagyu pastry was absolutely delicious — rich, flaky, and full of flavour.
The lobster noodles were truly top-tier, perfectly cooked with an amazing depth of taste.
Every dish felt carefully made, and the overall dining experience was excellent.
Definitely a place I’d happily come back to and recommend.

Tucked away on the fifth floor of Harrods, Chai Wu is my absolute go-to for a luxurious and restorative dining experience. The warm, elegant ambiance provides a perfect escape from the bustling store. The food is consistently exceptional—the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu steak and the divine Kobe beef puffs are must-haves. Impeccable service and flawless food make this a true gem. Highly recommended for a special treat!

Five stars aren’t enough for Chaiwu—easily one of the best pan-Asian dining experiences I’ve had in London, and the location inside Harrods is unbeatable. The restaurant’s sleek, refined decor creates a luxurious yet relaxed vibe, making it ideal for catching up with friends or unwinding after hours of shopping (pro tip: the seating has plenty of space for your shopping bags!). The set menu is thoughtfully curated, showcasing a blend of Asian culinary traditions without being overly gimmicky. Standouts include the dim sum platter (fresh, delicate, and full of flavor) and the pak choi, which added a refreshing contrast to the richer dishes.

Had a lovely experience at Chai Wu. The food was fresh and beautifully presented, especially the dim sum and grilled dishes. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere felt elegant yet comfortable — perfect for a relaxed meal or a special occasion. Would definitely come back!

Most of our items are halal apart from the Miyazakigyu Beef and our Duck Spring Rolls that are not halal certified.

Hot May Pot Pot 好味锅锅

Where do I start from!!!! The food was totally amazing! The reviews on here aren't hyped, they are true! From entering, all the way to our seats, meal and departure, the customer service was over the top! And there was nothing we disliked, the food was really really really good. The only think is that it's a bit on the high end (it's in Knightsbridge so should be expected). My partner and I had the pancake with beef starter, seafood platter, beef and noodles, with one drink (I had tap water, oh and they infuse it with fresh fruits!!!) and the bill came up to £165. Unlike traditional hot pots, someone prepares all the meat and serves you when it's ready, from beginning to end.

We totally loved it and we would want to try the M9 beef that everyone keeps raving about. We had a little bit of the low end beef and it tasted melt-in-your-mouth amazing so cannot imagine!

Upscale and exciting hot pot experience. Lovely space combined with excellent food. We we were reminded that all the ingredients are organic with no additives like MSG or chicken powder. The quality of the produce really shines through.

Individual hot pots makes this a more individual experience as well, allowing you to choose different broth depending on taste.

Tried a lot of familiar flavours, combined with a lot of new ones. It was an accessible first hot pot for the both of us. Great cocktails too.

Highly recommended.

Just had hot pot in this very chic place with my friend last night, what a surprise! All the ingredients were really fresh - beef, seafood, juices (pomegranate juice is my favourite! Forgot to take a photo as I finished it too quickly!) I love everything there! Excellent services as well. Highly recommended!

This is the place that I highly recommend if you want to try the authentic Chinese cuisine. The meat and seafood were superb, you can really taste how fresh the ingredients are. The whole experience was extraordinary, great service with relaxed atmosphere. The cocktails were so good as well! Will definitely return soon.

I just came here with my daughter completely by accident we were in the area and googled best Chinese restaurant and thought we would check it out.
I only have three words to describe what we just ate , Wow Wow Wow , having never had this type of cuisine it was Amaxibg , we had 2 rounds of amazing Sashimi to start with washed down with cool crisp champagne followed by 2 hot pots 1 beef 1 chicken with the medium grade beef , I have never had meat that just melts on contact like this we also had the garden vegetables and rainbow noodles.
Service was superb from the initial enthusiast greeting by front of house to the waiters.
Can’t wait to come back Price was also very reasonable compared to say Hutong.
Great stuff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outpost of acclaimed Qatar cafe serving Middle Eastern wraps in a cozy setting

Chapati & Karak London

Chapati Karak is conveniently located within walking distance from Harrods, making it an easy stop when you’re in the area. The tea is good and the food is decent, especially if you’re looking for something quick and comforting.

However, the service is consistently average. Every time I visit, I feel they could be more attentive and efficient. With some improvement in service, this place could be much better, because the food and location definitely have potential.

Overall, a decent spot for a good cup of chai, but service needs attention.

The Karak tea is good, and the paratha bread with cheese and egg is delicious. What I liked most was that the paratha is prepared in a unique way, so it's not greasy or heavy at all. The location is excellent, close to Harrods and other shopping. The service is good, but the prices are a bit high. It's worth trying.

A cozy morning right across from Harrods with a perfect cup of karak — rich in flavor and warmth. The chapati was toasted just right, soft yet crispy on the edges, making it a must-try spot for anyone craving authentic taste and comfort in London. Truly worth the experience! ☕

I really enjoyed my visit to Chapati & Karak. The chapati was fresh and delicious, paired perfectly with their karak tea. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable, making it a great place to sit back and enjoy a simple, satisfying meal.

The atmosphere and service is amazing. I only ordered karak chai to be honest I can say it was disappointing 😞.  Too bitter as if it has been left on the stove for 3 hours. I haven't tried any food to be fair.

Oval Restaurant

Celebrated my Birthday with my fiance, I'm going to start from the beginning. The decor is absolutely beautiful, very very pretty and comfortable. They have two places to eat. One was a show room and the other a comfortable fine dine. When we got there, we were seated in the beautiful restaurant, their decor was just to perfection I was very mesmerised. I however did not like the way the staff kept staring and kept walking around the table. I felt like every move I made they had an eye on and it made me extremely uncomfortable. All we wanted was some privacy but I felt like we were being watched on every move that we did. I appreciate the fact that they wanted to make sure that we received 100% satisfaction with the service but it made very uncomfortable. As vegetarians,The food was lovely, we had the 5 course tasting menu with a glass of champagne but we had a mocktail as a replacement as we don't drink. We were very disappointed with the last course as it tasted like hospital or even worse food. I didn't expect the last course to turn out so bad, It sort of made me sick. In the middle of our meal, we were told that There is a show starting at the other side and if we wanted to move there and we were very happy with that. The show was absolutely beautiful I think that was the best highlight of the night. We enjoyed it a lot and it was definitely a beautiful place to dine in but I feel like they need to give more privacy and they need to really improvise on the main/hot course for vegetarians.

The service and food were of the highest standard. The restaurant is quite small and is located on the ground floor of the Wellesley hotel. The décor follows an art deco style and is very tastefully done. We pre-booked the 5-course taster menu which included a glass of champagne or non-alcoholic cocktail (if preferred). For the fourth course there was an option between cod and lamb, otherwise all other courses where fixed. Food not only tasted great but was beautifully presented, none of the courses disappointed. The dessert was also followed with petit fours in the form of dainty biscuits. I would highly recommend the whole experience.

Food was really good, interesting menu (we took the pre made menu) great atmosphere and good service, but the prices were to high. For 3 menus it costed about 320 pounds.

Everything was perfect! Mark at the oval restaurant was very accomodatingand professional, we will definitely be coming back

I visited this restuarant recently and thoroughly enjoyed my meal, which was great value for money with the OpenTable offers.
I understand that The Oval Restaurant gets its name due to shape of the restaurant room, the entrances of hotel, restuarant,  bar and tea room were what was a tube station entrance, and it has been beautifully decorated in an art deco styles. The oval size of resturant lends itself to being a small and intimate setting, allowing you to linger over every mouthful, enjoying the flavours, the conversation and the company. The menu plays tribute to the finest traditions of Italian cuisine. Simple ingredients beautifully prepared, authentic dishes, fine presentation and impeccable service make this a dining experience to savour. I look foward to dining again here soon!!

Select dishes are halal. Pork and alcohol present.

A modern take on Turkish cuisine in the heart of Knightsbridge

I made the 2 hour round trip on the district line to visit my favourite Turkish restaurant @mantlknightsbridge

I celebrated my 2 year wedding anniversary, my wife hadn't been before so we decided to go. My last visit was 2 years ago when it first opened (as a invite) and it was a great experience. This time I went as a regular paying customer.

When we go to eat out we tend to order loads of starters rather than the traditional 1 starter and main each. That's what we did here. It allows us to taste more of the menu, get more for our money and good left overs for tomorrow lunch.

Charred Aubergine £8
Grilled Prawns £12
Manti £8
Pulled lamb hummus £9

Mac N cheese £5
Tripple cooked chips £5

Adana £18

Apple juice £5
Nargile Swing £8

I don't eat hummus that much, but Mrs HFG does and I'm glad she got this pulled lamb hummus dish because it was absolutely delicious!

I remember the Adana being amazing when I first tried it and it set the bar high for any Adana kebebs I had after that. This adana wasn't as good as I remember from my 1st visit which was almost a 10/10, however, it was still very good, packed full of flavour and cooked perfectly so it wasn't dry, 9/10

The mac N cheese was another favourite as to the grilled prawns which were fantastic.

My Nargile Swing drink was made with Strawberry, maple syrup, lemon juice and egg white.. Yes egg white. I liked this and better than over sweet standard fruit Mocktails.

For dessert I got the MILK KADAYIF a dish I again had on my 1st visit and never found in any other restaurant since. Its like a milk cake meets Shemai (Sweet Vermicelli) I love it. The lady for a chocolate foudant both £9. But as it was our wedding anniversary the restaurant gave it to us on the house! Thanks @mantlknightsbridge

One of my most frequently asked questions are recommendations places for a anniversary, for me and my wife we want the food to be the most important thing, obviously service and settings are important as well

@halalfoodguy's review of The Mantl Knightsbridge on Instagram

The Mantl

Great food quality, the kebabs were tender and juicy, melting in mouth. They won some awards, definitely deserve that. Great desserts, fantastic cheesy kunefe, special baklava and kadayif. Do not expect piles of food, that is more like a fine dining place, dish sizes are limited. Mix meze not rich, probably take separate, mixed grill was nice. Areas for improvement: we're thirsty, need to supply more water, they do not put a jug of water, you always have to ask to refill. And waiters could be busy. Tea is also given in single glass, no pots. For 6 persons the bill was 368 GBP, with service charge included, so quite pricey per person, understandably that is a top location, so you set your expectations really high.

London’s premier Aegean dining destination, and it’s easy to see why.

We started with an array of beautifully presented starters, each dish bursting with fresh, vibrant flavours. The poTurkish feast with a modern twist in the heart of Knightsbridge! 🇹🇷

Last night, we had the pleasure of dining @mantlknightsbridge, a four-time award-winning Turkish fine dining spot that redefines traditional flavours with a contemporary touch. This place has earned its reputation asrtions were generous, and the attention to detail was clear in every bite. But the real highlight of the evening came with the mains – Adana kebab, lamb shish and ribs grilled to absolute perfection.🔥 Juicy, tender, and seasoned just right, they brought back memories of home with a modern, innovative twist.

As someone who has lived in London for over a decade, I’ve tasted my fair share of Turkish food here, but The Mantl stands out. The name might hint at traditional Turkish dumplings, but don’t be fooled – this place offers an impressive variety of Turkish dishes that go beyond expectations. The team was amazing, service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was just right for a relaxed yet refined evening out.

If you’re looking for a spot to experience the best of Turkish cuisine, this is the place. Can’t wait to go back for another round of those delicious kebabs!

The baklava was one of the best perfectly crisp, not too sweet, and beautifully presented.

The lamb chops were cooked to perfection and full of flavour.

Mr. Eren were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Even the loo was spotless and stylish —made the toddler have fun with the sandy soap - a small detail, but it really shows how much care they put into every aspect of the place. Can’t wait to come back!

What an outstanding experience dining at Mantl, each dish has flavours that came alive in their own right but as an assimilation of tastes, unbeatable.

From the chargrilled meats, tender and juicy through to the salad that saw me clear my plate, I was blown away and very glad I came.

You can see why it’s rated the number #1 Turkish restaurant in London.

Discover dishes you never knew existed and allow your tastebuds to be titillated with the perfect balance of flavours.

It’s a must visit and I’ll definitely be coming back again!

I highly recommend this restaurant, we ordered many different dishes, and all of them were amazing. The meat was juicy and tender, and I liked the hummus. However the salad was simple, just punch of vegetables, and the rice was alright. The bread was amazing and remarkable, we asked them to give us some more bread for takeaway, and they gave it to us for free!, which was really nice from them.
The restaurant was clean and there was attention to details, for example the bathroom soap seems to be from an expensive brand. The staff were nice with us.

Our food are 100% Halal. Alcohol present. Certification available. 

Shezan

Visited Shezan in Knightsbridge and had a great experience. The mixed grill was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, and the lamb biryani was rich, aromatic, and really satisfying.

The restaurant has a lovely, authentic atmosphere that makes the meal even more enjoyable. A solid spot for quality Pakistani cuisine — would definitely return.

Absolutely phenomenal cuisine and a gorgeous interior decour

The Prawn Kahari paired with Paneer Naan was a sensational combo, the portion sizes were also on point

The service we received was top tier, our waiter was very attentive and really knew her stuff

Overall, I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who wants actual Indian/Pakistani food

As a Bangladeshi, I'm very apprehensive of South Asian restaurants in London purely because I can have the same thing at home.

In other words, I don't want a watered down version of my own cuisine that was made with others' tongues in mind

However, this place is a very notable exception, I will definitely be visiting again soon

Amazing experience at this Indian restaurant in London. The food was delicious and truly authentic – the pilau rice, the chicken with spinach, and the vegetarian dishes were outstanding. The selection of Indian teas was the perfect way to end the meal.

Service was excellent, with very kind and attentive staff who made us feel welcome from the start. Cozy atmosphere that really transports you to India.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Indian food with great service

Had my business meeting dinner here. So glad I did, Absolutely worth it. Staff are great, location is lush

Me, my mom, and my auntie came in last night for a gorgeous dinner and general experience. This is my favorite Indian restaurant I have ever had, the service was thoughtful and friendly and incredible, and the food was absolutely delicious. The interior decor is stunning. I’m not sure his name, but an older male employee that was topping off our wines and checking on us and partially serving us, was so lovely and exceeded all service expectations possible. What a wonderful guy and place! Highly recommend.

Food: Some of the desserts at Elan are actually to die for. We ordered the Rasberry and White Choc Chip Brownie, Millionaire Shortbread, Mix Fruit Tart and Rasberry and Vanilla Mousse. It’s safe to say that the two rasberry desserts were our favourites, especially the Mousse, which had a hard rasberry flavoured shell on the outside and light and fluffy vanilla mousse inside. The fruits on the Tart were fresh and sweet, but we felt like the tough tart case did not compliment the softness of the fruit. The Shortbread was also very firm and hard to break into. The Tea-Mojito wasn’t great guys, although you might enjoy it if you’re a fan of Green Tea. We both loved the Red Velvet Latte! 😍

EL&N London - Lowndes St

A Stunning Experience at EL&N Knightsbridge!

From the moment I walked in, EL&N Knightsbridge completely exceeded my expectations. The interior is absolutely gorgeous — every corner is designed to perfection with pink florals, neon signs, and chic details that make it feel like a dream. It’s the perfect spot for a special brunch or a stylish coffee break.

I ordered chicken burgers eas so tasty 5 stars The coffee was smooth and full of flavor,
The cake is out of this world so delicious
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and efficient even though the café was busy. You can tell they take pride in the service and experience.
Specially Denize the manager
I highly recommend every one to come to EL&N London

Came here on a sunny afternoon on Friday and it was so relaxing and calm, the place wasn’t too packed that I even got some work done.

I got the club sandwich and peach iced for the first time and it was really delicious! Will definitely try the other food items soon :)

I absolutely love the tiramisu here so I’ll definitely order it every time I visit EL&N 🤤

The digital tablet for ordering and payment was very easy to use and even when an item wasn’t on the tablet menu the staff added it to my tab effortlessly.

The vibes were so chill and the staff were also super kind, I really enjoyed my time here 🙂‍↕️

Beautiful café with breathtaking pink rose decorations ,definitely one of the most Instagrammable spots in London! I had a cappuccino and a pistachio cake. Both were delicious, especially the cake — moist with a lovely pistachio flavor. Worth the visit for both ambiance and taste!

Go-to spot for breakfast/brunch (and their breakfast menu is available all day). The pistachio Spanish latte is such a treat! All the food is amazing, from the savory dishes to the various sweets in the dessert case. They have limited indoor seating but plenty of tables outside.

Really good atmosphere, the place is really nice, now it looks much more refined and cared, that’s the reason why we never reviewed before, all the tables were really tidy and cared continuously, the service was really warm and friendly, fantastic smile are accompanied our stay till the and, even being all the time so busy, we’re all felt sorry for that bold guy because was working completely alone, he really gave the impression of being exploited by the company cause nobody was helping him.

ALBA London - Italian Restaurant Knightsbridge

Came here as a large group to celebrate a birthday and the atmosphere really stood out chic, lively, and perfect for a special night. Service was great and the staff were amazing.

The food was really tasty. We enjoyed the filetto di bosco, Alba tagliatelle, and the carpaccio especially was great. Spicy margaritas were also really good. The only thing I didn’t love was the baby artichoke salad.

Overall, it felt like a polished fine dining experience. I loved the elegant table setting and the whole vibe. Would definitely come back and recommend it.

Incredible Italian food and the best view in Knightsbridge - directly overlooking Harrods. Stunning interior and top class service - Ishmael was brilliant.

The filetto di bosco (fillet steak with truffle) is a solid 10/10, one of the best steaks I've ever had. Burrata pizza and truffle pasta also so good! The tableside desserts was such a nice touch and of course delicious.

Perfect atmosphere, could have spent hours more just enjoying the vibe and admiring the view from the window.

Alba London delivers a proper fine-dining experience right opposite Harrods

From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent attentive, polished and welcoming throughout. The setting feels luxurious yet comfortable, and it’s great to see halal options available on the menu. A solid choice for elevated dining in Knightsbridge

Had such a lovely Friday evening catch up at Alba London. We were greeted by the team and shown around the beautiful new space — Catalina at reception was especially welcoming. The vibe was great, a DJ in the background, everything felt really relaxed.

We tried a mix of fantastic dishes: the ALBA Pizza with fior di latte & tomato base, the burrata mozzarella salad, and the sole which was so flavorful. For dessert, the Alba panettone tiramisu (served with mascarpone cream) was a standout, and the Ferrero ice-cream dessert was delicious. I also sampled their spicy margarita cocktail which was perfect for the night.

Service was excellent all evening, especially thanks to our waiter Gabriele. I’d definitely recommend Alba for a celebration or just a nice evening with friends.

Excellent Review for ALBA London – Italian Restaurant (Knightsbridge)

An absolutely wonderful experience! The Italian cuisine is refined, with perfectly prepared dishes and authentic flavors. The service was impeccable from start to finish.

A big thank you for the warm welcome and the exceptional kindness — special mention to Narek, always smiling and attentive at the entrance, which made the experience even more delightful.

I highly recommend this restaurant to all lovers of genuine Italian gastronomy! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

Having been to Nusret in dubai and turkey, it’s only right for me to visit the London branch. I’ve always been a fan of his burgers when I had them in dubai and the only reason I’ll only come to Nusret is for burgers. They are probably the best high end burger in London.
.
I am only comparing this burger with the best two high end burger I rate highly, one from cut45 and other one from Gordon Ramsey burger bar. It’s fair to say Nusret overtakes the both.
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Nusret Burger with Chips (£50)
🔳 Sliced Wagyu Tenderloin (£85)
🔳 Short Rib Taco Burger (£25)
🔳 Flower Onion (£18)
🔳 Baklava (£25)
.
With the controversial steaks and prices. So if your ordering gold steaks expect to pay them ridiculous prices. My one was £85 which was tender and buttery. All the cuts are Wagyu, also some of these massive steaks with big price tags are for sharing.
.
What I don’t like at Nusret. The flower onion is tasteless. I only had this previously at Stax diner and it banged. However this was overly oily and bland. Also the short ribs when I had them in dubai, was soft however bland and super bland lol with regards to the tacos I had here, it was actually enjoyable, probably because the guacamole and other condiments kinda helped out, but nothing really mind blowing.
.
The burger is easily the best burger you’ll have. A very pricey burger however it’s just a super super super juicy burger. So juicy the juices never stop. The meat is soft and buttery.
.
The baklava personally for me is decent. Didn’t have the wow factor like the ones in turkey and dubai. Tasted like the ordinary ones we all have in any Turkish places.
.
All in all I love his burgers. My total came £250 which is standard central London high end spots. It’s an occasional spot I guess. I know many wouldn’t agree or don’t like the Nusret brand itself. But each to their own
.
What’s your opinion or experience at Nusret?

With so many of you still going Turkiye I thought I'd post my review of my most favorite restaurant @nusr_et and why I rate it so highly. Seeing myself in a coat in the snow is a vast contrast to the current weather but better late than never - still on YouTube! You guys been yet?

Amazing experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service really made the difference. Berk was our server and he was so nice, attentive, and welcoming — he made us feel really comfortable and taken care of. Definitely coming back and highly recommend!

I recently visited this restaurant and had a great experience! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was really pleasant. A special mention to Berk, who was extremely nice and attentive throughout the meal. He made sure everything was perfect and his friendly attitude really stood out. Definitely recommend visiting — great service and tasty food!

Lovely food and amazing service from Lidia she was very attentive and kind. We had the lunch menu and its incredible value for money at £39pp for 3 courses. Complementary Turkish tea/coffee with desserts too. Can’t fault it would definitely come back!

Hi Carlo! Thank you for being the point of reference in a place of luxury.
We had meat sushi, tartare, steaks, sides AND baklava. I have been in love with Nusret's baklava since 2017 when I first tried it in Abu Dhabi. This experience was filled with nostalgia and good memories.
Also a thank-you mention to Manuel, and for the pen.
May your future be bright.

Isabela was an incredible host. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed, especially with a nine month old child. Her energy and warmth was fantastic! I also, had lunch earlier there this week and was served by Lidia - also a fantastic host. The food is incredible too - highly recommended!

Most of our meat is Halal. Three dishes contain non-Halal meat. Please ask a member of staff for details or call in advance to request Halal.

Nusr-Et Steakhouse

Parker's Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel, London

Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The food was extremely sub-par:
•	Spanish latte - lacked condensed milk, which made it taste flat.
•	Croque monsieur – fries were the only good part. The turkey sandwich was very dry turkey, and the bread was hard, making it unenjoyable.
•	Pressed simit – took a long time to arrive, and while it tasted slightly better (thanks to all the sauces), the brioche bun itself had a stale taste.

Service also left much to be desired. It was slow. A group at the table next to us was celebrating a birthday and had asked for a candle with their dessert, but when the dessert came, the request hadn’t been passed on. The friend had to ask again, and it was clear the staff weren’t communicating properly.

Overall, between the slow service, disappointing food, and lack of attention to detail, it wasn’t a great experience. Went Friday morning and was quite quiet. Mostly people from the hotel eating a quick continental breakfast.

At 10am on a midweek it wasn’t crowded. I was ushered to a table by the staff after being asked if I was a guest in the hotel (I wasn’t). I ordered their karak chai (£6). It was served in the Turkish tea type of bardak-tea glass. 120mL max. The Egg florentine was good though I wished the poached eggs were runny as I requested (it was overcooked). Overall I am still pleased to have breakfast here. Hope to be able to try their lunch/dinner items someday when it is not fullhouse. Note: they do not accept AMEX credit cards

Parker’s London has nice seating and a pleasant atmosphere, although the space feels a bit narrow. The service was noticeably slow, which took away slightly from the experience. That said, the burger was really good and nice to try. With faster service, this place could be much better.

We had an amazing experience at Parker’s in London! Phoebe and Priscilla were our servers, and they were absolutely fantastic, super friendly, energetic, and made us feel right at home. Their service really stood out and added something special to the evening. The food was also incredible,  every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vibes, great people, and even better food!

Had a lovely lunch at Parker’s in Knightsbridge with my sister. The manager, Zakir, truly made the experience stand out he greeted us warmly, ensured we were comfortable, and was so attentive throughout. He helped us with menu suggestions and was quick with the service, making us feel really taken care of.

We started with two mojitos, a passion fruit and a strawberry both super refreshing. For starters, we ordered the Spicy Toffee Shrimp and Crispy Calamari, which were flavorful and perfectly cooked. For mains, we had Steak and Fries, Lime Hot Sauce Pasta, and Lemon Chicken, along with street fries on the side. Every dish was well-presented and delicious.

To finish, we shared two desserts: the Matilda Cake and the Pull Me sponge cake with ice cream, both were absolutely indulgent. Overall, the food, the ambiance, and especially Zakir’s excellent service made it a memorable meal. Highly recommend!

EL&N London

After a bad experience at another café, I went to EL&N London and was welcomed immediately. The staff showed me to a table and asked for my order, giving me a short time to decide and my order was prepared quickly. The Spanish pistachio latte was the best I have ever had and their cakes were very delicious. I visit from Manchester every year and this was my first time at this branch. Usually, I go to the Soho branch when I visit London. Thank you for the good service and tasty food and thank you for lifting my mood after it was spoiled by another café.🥰🥰

I had a wonderful experience at El & N! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special mention goes to Shade, who was an exceptional server incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. He made the whole experience even better with his professionalism and positive attitude.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! 🌟

The Desert here is so Divine. I had the rose pistachio cake, and it melted in my mouth. It was so good. The coffee wasn't what I expected. I had the V60, and it was so light. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Sanchez is a fantastic host.

Visited 09/09/2025. Kitchen was out of service but customers were not being informed at the door but only when sitting down.

A lovely array of pastries, cakes and sandwiches available on the day I visited. Place was pretty empty inside with a few outside.

The staff I had interacted with were lovely but service was a bit slow, I had to get up and ask someone to take my order and also had to get up to go pay when finished as I needed to leave. Doesn't appear to be very well managed (albeit on a less busy day with the kitchen out of order!)

Had the Turkey and Cheese ciabatta, it was nice and cost £11.

Will have to go back to try their main menu/cooked items.

Everything is halal.

The service was very slow. I had to ask the waitress to take my order, and she only came twice: once to accept the order and once to bring the tea. I asked for a cheesecake from their dessert stand, but it never arrived until I reminded her again. My plates were left on the table until I asked for dessert as well. The food itself is good, but the service really needs improvement.
