Buns from Home

We ordered the 3x10 lb combo to go pistachio, blueberry, and cinnamon. I honestly can’t pick a favorite because they were all absolutely delicious! The service was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Emu helped me! Such a doll, she explained all of the different buns and gave me her own recommendation. i got two of the hazelnut chocolate and it made an amazing breakfast for my mother and i. will be returning!

This is my second time eating buns from home. My first experience was amazing I got it from the one in King’s Cross. But this one is horrible it’s so oily and not tasty at all. I took the almond and pistachio flavor but oh my Lord it was so oily and it’s burned from the bottom I couldn’t even eat it. Unfortunately, after this second horrible experience I’ll never eat it again.

I used to be borderline obsessed with bunsfromhome — back in 2021 I’d get three buns every few days like it was my summer diet. But since they turned into a chain, the quality’s gone steadily downhill, while prices have gone up. The buns are often burnt, dry, and the fillings feel like an afterthought. I got the dulce de leche bun today, hoping it was just a bad run - but again was disappointed - the bun was so burnt it was like chewing charcoaled cardboard. What a shame.

I go to Buns from Home weekly to get the weekend special and once a month for their amazing focaccia bread but someone I pop in just to get my bun fix. My absolute favourite place for baked goods. Everything they do it delicious.

The only two buns flavours on our permanent menu that aren’t vegetarian are our ham and cheese bun and our tiramisu bun (pork gelatine). We are currently trying to switch over to fish gelatine but it’s proving harder than we expected. None of the permanent flavours contain alcohol. Occasionally, weekend specials will contain one or both of these ingredients, in which case we will be sure to mention this on the instagram announcement.

Excellent burger (with five guys vibes). Fresh crispy fries. Fast delivery. What else could you want. Recommended

Our second time coming here and the staff have consistently been kind and attentive. Fahad has looked after us both times which makes the experience even better. The burgers are very good as is the rest of the menu.

the shop wasn’t busy at all (assuming because i went quite late) which meant our food came out very quickly. ordered the mango habanero wings which were seasoned perfectly and the chicken was succulent and easy to chew.

Excellent customer service. FAHAD is a very nice well mannered customer service assistant. He resolved a small issue with my order. The burgers are super tasty. Definitely ordering again .

The store name describes the food!

It’s a great burger but nowhere close to healthy!

We went quite late at night and the store was clean, service was quick and there was security making sure no one was too rowdy.

I would highly recommend plus the food is halal!

Akub Restaurant

An extraordinary experience - the food and the atmosphere were incredible.

I came with my fiancée to celebrate her birthday and everything was exceptional. We ordered the Akub pickles, Grilled Nabulsi Cheese, Sandweeshat Akub, Qalayet Bandora, Arabic Coffee French Toast and then were given a complimentary birthday dessert - not sure what it was called but it was spongey, covered in pistachios and drowning in a cardamom and fenugreek soak.

An incredible culinary experience - we will be back. 🇵🇸

Two for two with my restaurant guide book and I may have been converted to a brunch person. Got very lucky with a walk-in table, also, apologies, next time I go I will take better pictures of the interior. It is warm and elegant, with smart simplicity. Clean colors, beautiful pottery, dishes engraved with tiny flowers.

There wasn’t a thing on the menu that didn’t sound good but eventually we settled on a  spread of smaller savory plates to share. I’m picky about pickles and all about details and these I would absolutely call an essential order. And the focaccia. My god the focaccia. We also got the Arabic bread which, don’t, it was tough and dry and didn’t bring much to the table- so definitely skip that for this because THIS. Was one of the best breads of my life. and I love bread, so I’ve had a lot of it. It was plush and soft and spiced to perfection, great by itself but an excellent companion for the other things we got: zaatar labaneh (on the thicker side, might get hummus next time), the maftool and batikh salads (100000/10 no notes perfection. Watermelon and mint, I don’t know if we’ve managed to top that) and the grilled nabulsi cheese- I don’t know exactly what the black spice rub on top was but we mopped it off that plate. That with the bread and the watermelon, a perfect meal, I’d be damn happy to have it everyday. So brunch is a must, but I’m very excited to come back for dinner. They have a cheesecake that’s gonna be sorry it met me.

Tasty food, a helpful waiter and a lovely red to wash it down with. Highly recommend the baked cheese, prawns, coriander dip and the lamb neck. Prices were a bit steep, but overall a good experience. The benches could also use a few cushions for vertically challenged folks. :)

Wow. Just wow. I can’t recommend Akub highly enough! Everything on the menu looked delicious.

Thanks to suggestions from the very helpful staff, we chose the sea bass (finely sliced, cured in arak and beautifully spiced with sumac) and a selection of vegetable dishes. All were expertly prepared and presented. To finish, even though we were full, we had to try a dessert. Again, flawless! A cross between a chocolate mousse and ganache, with crushed biscuit and ice cream on the side.

This is a true local gem, tucked away on a little Notting Hill side street.

Lovely little spot with a wonderful selection of food. We opted for brunch (it’s sharing style here) I’d recommend getting one main dish (we all got an egg variant) and then a few things like the hummus and bread. The focaccia is delightful and the rest of the food is flavourful too. Would highly recommend a visit. Be mindful of booking in advance

Cottons Notting Hill

The restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with a great vibe. The dishes were flavorful and well-prepared, with the jerk pork ribs standing out as a real highlight. They also have a happy hour for select cocktails between 5-7 pm, which is a nice bonus. The service was friendly. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed evening with good food and drinks.

We personally had a great experience and received great customer service. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and the seating arrangements were good. We enjoyed sitting outside because the weather was nice and we had a little one with us who wanted to be in the heat!

The food was delicious, but we thought it was a little too expensive (mind you, it is Notting Hill so it’s to be expected…).

Feedback: I think the shared platter in the starter section could be improved. It’s way too pricey for two spring rolls, 4 dried plantain, 2 fritters and 4 tiny wings…

The mocktails were good!

I ordered the lamb chops and they were divine. It comes with yam mash which was super creamy and soft. My partner got the mutton curry and he enjoyed it very much.

I had an exceptional experience at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautifully set. The food was absolutely outstanding—each dish was full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and presented with care.

A special shoutout to Tina, who truly made the visit unforgettable. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her genuine kindness and professionalism elevated the entire experience. It’s rare to find someone who makes you feel so valued as a guest, and Tina did exactly that.

If you’re looking for amazing food paired with top-tier service, this is the place to go. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be returning!

This 5-star review is for SAF (from Birmingham) she is an absolute delight!! Our family of 10 arrived at the restaurant and was greeted by the friendly Saf who gave us great information on cocktail and food choices. The food was well presented, with great flavours and portion sizes. Saf really made our experience enjoyable.

What an absolutely phenomenal experience at Cottons Notting Hill! The service was outstanding; every single member of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel like cherished guests. A special shout-out to the bartender, who mixed some of the most incredible drinks we tasted in all of London. They were a true highlight.
We know exactly where we're heading on our next visit to the city!!

Cinquecento

This is such a lovely restaurant! The food was delicious, especially the vegan pizza. I‘ve been vegan for fifteen years and during that time I‘ve had some decent pizza but this one was absolutely the best one. The service was kind and the next time I‘m in town I‘ll be sure to eat here again. Thanks for the good food!

Tried their Tartufata pizza and it was not bad. the dough on the side spongy and chewy but the inner dough a bit soggy prob due to soaked with the cheese/burata oil? They were generous with the toppings incl wild mushroom and courgette.

Pity that their coffee machine broke down that morning so could only order cold drinks. The waiter was friendly and polite. Ambience and decor very European and homely.

note that they only accept card payment

What a fabulous pand authentic italian restaurant! It’s a cozy place, with very nice decoration and atmosphere. The food was phenomenal. We had the gorgonzala and noci bruschetta, which was the only dish that was a bit of a disappointment for me (my husband loved it, though admitted the fig wasn’t ripe enough). But the burrata pizza and the lasagna were absolutely outstanding. We also had a very nice Nero D’avola wine, but the passion fruit Aperol was very meh. Special mention to the desserts, we had the pistachio pastry and the tiramisù…hard to choose which was better as they were both phenomenal. We left feeling extremely satisfied with our meal and happy to have discovered this place. It will surely become a fixed stop every time we’ll visit London.

Fantastic pizza !!! Alcohol-free luscious Tiramisù (love it). You Must Try. Lovely place. Great SOUNDTRACK !!! As an ex radio host and a performer, I love to listen to quality music while eating. Will repeat. Close to Notting Hill Gate tube/bus station.

The food and ambience were so delicious and amazing. My waiter Abu has been so professional and Amazing.The pizza chef Francesco has been so friendly with us I like this place so much with the plates attached to the walls.

Beluga Restaurant & Bar

Had a great evening at Beluga Restaurant & Bar! Everything was outstanding from start to finish.

The food was absolutely delicious: perfectly grilled kebabs (the lamb chops and chenjeh were melt-in-the-mouth tender), fragrant rice, flavour-packed stews, and the most beautiful selection of fresh mezze. The saffron ice cream with pistachio to finish was pure heaven. Every dish felt authentic, generous, and made with real love and skill.
Service was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, thank you for such a great night!

What a grand restaurant with truly lavish interior design that creates a wonderful atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing, packed with flavors that delight the palate. The generous portions are a pleasant surprise, offering excellent value. It's a truly memorable dining experience. If you are looking  for an elegant restaurant for a special celebration, this venue is a strong contender. The ambiance is refined, creating a sophisticated atmosphere of Middle East.
The service is attentive and professional, ensuring a seamless and memorable occasion. It is indeed a remarkable choice for those desiring a touch of luxury and distinction.

From the moment I walked in, the service at the restaurant was exceptional. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional — especially Arazoo, whose service was truly impressive. She made the entire experience feel personal, smooth, and extremely comfortable.

The food was excellent; every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and exceeded my expectations. For a first visit, I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere.

Everything was perfect — but the prices are quite high. Still, the quality and the service made the visit worthwhile.

I can confidently say this will not be my last time here. I’m definitely coming back regularly.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for great service, delicious food, and a warm dining experience.

Many thanks to my friend who recommended this place for dinner in the windy cold London evening.

High class interiors reminds you of the great palaces of Persia  Food is authentic, delicious and makes you feel at home. Friendly staff and customers 👏🏻👏🏻 which is a difficult combination for find.

When you want to enjoy your evening after a stroll at Holland park this is where you should go to

The food is decent and the portions are generous. Their pomegranate red wine was also delicious. However, it’s quite strange that the prices don’t include VAT!!! many people may not notice the small print at the bottom of the menu that states “ they will add 20% VAT to the price of the food”. Prices definitely on a higher side.
Service is average, and the staff aren’t very attentive. They also asked us, as well as other customers, to pay in cash so they could deduct some of the VAT, which felt unprofessional and inappropriate.
