Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

Nando's Kensington High Street

Nando’s never disappoints. The peri-peri chicken is always perfectly cooked—juicy, full of flavour, and with just the right level of spice (plus the heat options mean there’s something for everyone). The sides are just as good, especially the peri-salted chips and spicy rice, which honestly steal the show.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to eat with friends or family, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient. Everything feels fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care.

Overall, Nando’s is one of those places you can rely on for great food, good vibes, and a satisfying meal every time. Definitely one of my go-to restaurants.

By pure coincidence, I found myself at Nando’s in London. The atmosphere was fantastic and lively. Very many thanks to Mr. Teja for the food recommendation. The combination of the Peri-Peri Garlic and Peri Lemon & Herb sauces with the chicken and spice was absolutely phenomenal.

Gluten-intolerant diners, beware!

When I walked into Nando’s Kensington High Street and mentioned I’m gluten-intolerant, the look of panic on the staff’s faces was both funny and ridiculous. They froze, huddled, and then said, “Wait here, our manager will take your order.” The waitress even asked aloud, “Do we have a manager?” — I almost laughed out loud.

After ten minutes, a sleepy-looking girl reluctantly appeared from behind the counter to take my order. I was very clear that I wanted my chicken well done — but she didn’t ask a single question about gluten options, nor did she explain what was safe for me to eat. Sure enough, I was served undercooked chicken. I sent it back, and after another fifteen-minute wait, what arrived was even worse (see photo attached).

To top it off, when I politely asked a waiter if I could leave my laptop on the table while I used the toilet for three minutes, he said, “I’m not responsible.” Really? In a restaurant full of cameras?

Overall, totally poor service — untrained staff, zero awareness about dietary needs, and a manager who seemed half-asleep. Nando’s needs to seriously retrain their Kensington High team.

Good old Nando’s.They got it down in this one👍
Good service, food was all good, cooked well and didn’t wait too long.

Happy days

I went to Nando’s to order/ take away . The place was very organised & menu is easy to read and find what you fancy

Straight to the till , welcomed by lovely member of the staff ordered our food , swiped my Nando card for points , paid and sat on a small waiting area which has wooden stools to sit on and wait for ur order

Restaurant is on the main road , you need to find parking on the streets near by , has a large seating area

Less than 25 minutes and order was ready , the lady brought our food , explained each box and made sure I am happy then offered me sauces like ketchup , mayo etc . She was generous & polite

Food was delicious & fresh , we really enjoyed it

We have 385 restaurants, 72 of which serve only Halal chicken and are signposted both in the restaurant and online. A small proportion of chicken sold in our other restaurants may also be Halal.

Beautifully spiced food, and fabulous patisserie and desserts

Fait Maison

Unfortunately it wasn’t my first time at FM but this branch is the worst so far.

I don’t usually write google reviews but the sCustomer service was too below the bar and the way the waiter had an excuse for every mistake is disrespectful.

We ordered medium cooked pouched eggs3 different dishes each of them came cooked differently and the sour dough bread hard couldn’t be eaten.

Beyond delicious authentic food. Everything was literally delicious and I will be back to try more. The curry hummus with lamb is outstanding along with the egg and cheese paratha. The place is packed in the morning but line was fast. The atmosphere for me personally was not a favorite because I do not like loud music and dancing in the morning which happened in one phase and not the whole time

So delicious! I loved the “breakfast from the east” and definitely want to come back to try more food. Service was also quick despite being full.

What an exquisite place to eat! Only popped in for a coffee but will be returning for afternoon tea. Beautiful crockery, friendly welcoming staff, clean and inviting. It's simply enchanting with its vintage decor.

Overall, my experience was just okay. I honestly find it a bit overrated. The food itself tastes average, and it’s really the presentation that makes it look appealing.

Hand-made udon kitchen popular in the United States

Marugame Udon - Japanese Noodles & Tempura (High Street Kensington)

I took my son to Marugame Udon in High Street Kensington for lunch, and honestly—this place blows Wagamama out of the park.

Everything is made to order, the noodles are freshly hand-made, and you can genuinely taste the difference. We both opted for the small bowls so we could sample more from the menu, and it was the best decision. From the first slurp to the last bite, every dish hit the spot. We left with full, happy bellies and zero regrets.

A special shoutout to their bottled lemonade—it’s incredible. Super refreshing and the perfect balance to cut through the spice from the dishes.

Service was quick and efficient too. We were in, fed, and out within 30 minutes, without ever feeling rushed.

If you haven’t tried Marugame Udon yet, go. You won’t be disappointed.

Highly recommended! We already dined here during our London trip last year and absolutely had to come back again this year. The food is excellent – truly delicious. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and they’re happy to walk you through the menu and answer any questions. The service was fast and well organised. We’ll happily return again next year! ;)

Tasty, healthy, quick and very importantly very authentic Japanese udon restaurant. Tom yum is not authentic but I really enjoyed it too. Kids friendly and clean.

Very authentic Japanese fast food. Relatively cheap considering the location and really good Udon and many sides.
However just as a note the price is probably x4  of what you pay in Japan. London magic I have to say 🤣

I really want to like this place as I'm a big udon and marugame fan. However, the udon was too soft and lack of the bite texture. It was very disappointing as I thought I would get the same as in Japan. But it wasn't even close. I make better udon with a pack of frozen one at home.

The broth was tasty as it came. I added a bit of ginger and chili flakes and that made the soup quite tasty too. The onsen egg was good as it should be.

If you are there for the udon and expect a squidgy texture - I suspect that you'd be disappointed.

All our chicken is Halal. 30% of the menu is vegan so there is plenty of choice.

Please note mirin and soy sauce are used in a number of our dishes which contain alcohol.

Marugame Udon

Beautiful place with lovely people and great food. We tried the Turkish breakfast which was delicious. It was a little bit of Turkiye on your plate in London.
You are here just for food but you are here for the ambience.
So do make sure to order some tea and cookies or cakes to enjoy and take in the atmosphere.

This cafe goes for a very specific aesthetic and they nail it perfectly. Very classy, elegant and whimsical. The staff also help enforce the atmosphere, as one of the servers was very animated and playful with the guests.

Food was decent. Matcha was surprisingly good. Quite expensive but understandable given the area.

Adorable. This was one of the best experiences we have had for breakfast here in London (and that has competition!). All of the little details make you feel transported to a little French cafe. The food is delicious and looks scrumptious. The staff is very friendly and so helpful. It’s all so pretty. Loved loved LOVED this experience!

This is definitely a beautiful restaurant. The decor is nice and when we entered the building it smelled like cardamom. The staff was very polite and quick with the serving. The food was very good and the coffee was absolutely amazing - even the way they presented it. Definitely a good place to go eat breakfast. We will definitely come back

Coming back again after having found this gem by accident last year and it's even better this time around
Pleasant music in the background, lovely staff (esp our server Luisa!) and amazing food.
Highly recommend, and will be back next year when visiting this area again!

Zaika

i've been going to Zaika for many years and it never disappoints. I've tried all the famous and classic Indians around London but this one is just THE TASTIEST. A modern Indian restaurant done well. The food is truly delicious, the restaurant is beautiful and the staff lovely. It's just full of flavours! Just writing about it makes me salivate...

A delightful surprise, with a cosy and intimate atmosphere. I could honestly say it was the most delicious Indian food I’ve ever tried: full of flavour and technically flawless.
The bathrooms were spotless and carried a wonderful oriental scent of oud.
Our waiter, Akbor, was charming with his recommendations and extremely kind and professional.
I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Not been before so tried their taster menu plus a scallop dish from the starters. Every item was packed with flavour, especially the scallops. The sauce was outstandly good. Service was fantastic too. Thanks for a great evening.

Walking by, stopped to look at the menu and decided we would give it a try. Very pleased we did. Probably the best of all the Indian restaurants we have eaten at in Central London (and that is quite a few). Service, food ambience - excellent. We will be back !!

It had been a great day out with my daughter and we were now thirsty and looking for somewhere to relax and sample some cool cocktails, when we came across Zaika of Kensington a Indian restaurant & bar. It was a cold winter evening in November and the first experience was not only fantastic ambience with a very authentic décor, but we were also warmly welcomed by two very friendly front of house staff.

We grab a seat at the expansive bar on the very comfortable stools and settled in to review the menu, we decided on the classic Singapore Sling and took in the very laid back and sophisticated vybe. Watching our bartender making our cocktails it was clear that he was very familiar with the required ingredients and also made it to a standard which I can closely compare with the original I had whilst on vacation in Singapore last year.

The staff were professional and friendly and the drinks were amazing made with fantastic attention to detail and leaving us much warmer and both agreeing that it had been the perfect end to a great midweek uptown excursion. We will definitely be coming back to experience the full culinary experience and of course sample more of their amazing cocktails, the list is not long but what they do offer is curated to a very high standard.

Independent, dog friendly, all day dining with sexy interiors

Megan's on the High Street Restaurant (Kensington)

Loved the lighting there. Calm, cozy and not on your face. It just gets chaotic sometimes with the staff walking around. It could be because our table was at the edge and close to the cashier.
Food was good. Calamari was excellent. The open doner was ok, but the sauce was a bit salty.
The staff were friendly.

This restaurant is stunning! The food was delicious — I had the chicken & halloumi kebab, my sister had the lamb special, and we shared the sweet potato fries and tenderstem broccoli (which was unreal!!). Everything was fresh and full of flavour. We both had a glass of the house white, too. I can’t thank the staff enough for being so helpful. Highly recommend.

Came here on a weekend for my birthday some time ago, my partner made a reservation for Brunch. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and has a relaxing atmosphere. Service is great, staff are attentive and friendly. There are lots of options to choose from on the menu and everything my partner and I tried tasted fantastic. I would definitely come back again.

We did the €21 three course deal and it was so worth it!! Adi was an amazing host who walked us through it all. We had the bread with the spread and I got the chili chicken shakshuka which was out of the world!

Love! If I lived up the street from here I’d eat here all the time! We got a skillet of chili chicken shakshouka kebab and a vegetarian mezze bowl of felafels, hummus, tabbouleh and fermented veggies. Both were incredible. The space is cozy and prettily decorated. And dogs are welcome! 🤍

Our chicken & sucuk ‘Turkish chorizo’ are halal. Please check with staff before ordering as suppliers can change.

Balans, Kensington

I found this gem of a restaurant my second morning in London. I ate breakfast every day after that and had dinner the last night in town. The food was amazing…I could just eat the bread and be happy. The staff was so accommodating to my food allergies and made me feel so welcome. If you are staying in London put this place on your list.

The homemade donuts with Chantilly cream, crème , patisserie, and melted dark chocolate was the best dessert I have had in all of my travels around Europe.

Diverse menu - food was good. I wish the fish was seasoned a bit better, but the breading and done-ness was great! Service was quick and friendly as well.

I went there for dinner with my friends yesterday and I believe our server was David. From the start to the end he was attentive to our table, spoke to us and joked around with us which made the whole experience a lot more better. As someone with a Gluten Allergy he gave me a full folder with all the allergens highlighted which made picking my meal out a lot easier. I really enjoyed my Gluten free starter and main, but sadly no pictures for the two dishes I ordered because it was devoured very quickly. Overall, a really great experience and the great service we received just made everything 100 times a lot better.

If I could give 6 stars, I would! We came for an early lunch and had a 50% off code. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was delightful. My husband had steak and I had the special risotto which was to die for. Pornstar martinis are the best ever. Incredible service and in such a relaxed manner - we are so happy to visit here time and time again and it’s a firm favourite. Huge thank you to Leah and Jessie ❤️❤️ made our first time in London as newly weds one to remember ❤️ thank you xx

If you’re looking for fresh-squeezed orange juice, fabulous mimosas, and truly delicious food look no further!  The bacon is some of the best I’ve ever had, nice and crispy, and the pancakes are TO DIE FOR.  The vibe is cute and the staff is warm and friendly.  We will hit this spot every time we’re in town!

The chicken and beef across all our locations is now Halal. Halal ingredients are handled and prepared separately to avoid any cross contamination. Please ask a member of staff for more details.

Como Garden

We had a wonderful experience at Como Garden! Despite making a late reservation, they kindly accommodated an early table for us, which we really appreciated. Our waiter, Rayhan, was incredibly kind and attentive to all our requests throughout the evening.

The ambiance was great, it was warm, welcoming, and perfect for a dinner in the city. The food was amazing. Everything tasted just as good as it looked, beautifully presented and full of flavor.
Will definitely come back!

Accidentally discovered Como Garden, and it turned out to be a great surprise worth repeating. We ordered the Four Cheese Pizza, Truffle Pasta, and Chicken Milanese. all well-prepared and balanced in flavor. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and the service was attentive and fast. Overall, a solid dining experience and definitely a place I’d return to.

Made a reservation for a group of 4 and baby chair via Google as the email & WhatsApp was not responded promptly. Food was fantastic and service was great. The retaursnt is beautiful but dinner was packed and it got quite stuffy and tables was tight. Perhaps late lunch or early evening would be more relaxed compared to peak hours.

The food was okay. Nothing special. The server Lena was very very good. She went out of her way to please and serve nicely.

The manager was very standoffish and when he was asked to give napkins, he said they had run out of them and brought tissues to the table

Can’t recommend Como Garden enough! The food was incredible and the service was so efficient and friendly. I’d like to give Evelyn and Pooja a special shout out for making my birthday dinner especially magical and for their kind services! We will definitely be back :)

We do have Halal options, but unfortunately not all our meat is Halal. Availability vary’s on the day, so you can request this at arrival to the manager and he/she will tell you what dishes are halal that day.

Also, if you want a particular dish to be Halal, you can request it in advance when you make your booking, so we can have it on the day of your reservation.

ADORA PIZZA

THE BEST pizza I've tried in a while.

Shared a 12" pizza with my mom and it was delicious, enough to fill both of us up!

I could bathe in that marinara sauce, you can tell it was made fresh and it was fantastic.

The owner for sure knew his craft, the pizza bread was not too thin nor thick. It was perfectly oven cooked together with that stretchy cheese and spot on crunch from the crust.

Will for sure be back again to try all other topping and dishes!

Adora Pizza delivers a satisfying experience with freshly made pizzas, generous toppings, and a nicely balanced crust—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The service is friendly and efficient, and the menu offers good variety for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and the atmosphere is cozy for a casual bite. Great option if you're in the mood for comforting, flavorful pizza that hits the spot without overcomplicating things.

Adora Pizza is a gem of an eating establishment. Do not be put off by the low-key location. The freshly baked Wild Mushroom pizza was perfect, and I mean perfect. It was even better than the pizzas I sampled in Italy. Very reasonable prices, and included a free soft drink. Highly recommended.

The pizza was great, and the service was quick, especially considering there were very few people around on a Tuesday evening. The prices were a bit on the high side, but that’s understandable given the area.

Used to frequent this Pizza most Friday lunch times but had noticed standards dropping recently including my last visit a couple weeks back. Used to make a great halal nduja also which was my go to. I think the reason its dropped off might be that it is under new management. As, along with the quality of food, I also noticed the only two gentleman I always used to see and the only two to have ever served me, where no longer there the last couple of times. Not sure if it is still halal either as they have added Tirimisu to the menu but one which contains alcohol in it, which wasn't the case before. The food court is very good and there is lots of choice.

We serve Halal. Ask a member of staff for details when you visit.
