Wolfgang Puck's Beverly Hills export serving aged beef in marble-floored luxury restaurant

45 Park Lane

I had a wonderful stay from start to finish. The location is excellent, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area. The service was truly fantastic—every interaction felt warm, attentive, and professional.

The room itself was beautiful, with a lovely view that made the stay feel even more special. And as a delightful extra touch, the baked treats left in the room were the icing on the cake!

Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a memorable experience.

From the moment we arrived at 45 Park Lane, the hospitality was truly outstanding. The doorman gave us a warm and professional welcome, immediately setting a positive tone for the visit. The security officer Ingel, ensured that we had an amazing and safe experience throughout — attentive, discreet, and always present when needed.

Andrea, the Bar Manager, was equally exceptional. His warm and genuine approach made us feel instantly comfortable and valued. The atmosphere at the bar was both elegant and relaxed, and Andrea’s professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable.

Everything about our time here reflected world-class service and genuine care for guests. I would highly recommend 45 Park Lane to anyone looking for a truly memorable and refined experience.

I had an absolutely wonderful time at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Everyone who works there goes out of their way to make sure you’re happy, which really makes a difference. I honestly didn’t want to leave!
If you’re looking for a place to relax and treat yourself, this is the one. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Hamza, Chester, and Darain were wonderful butlers. Any request was handled with kindness and care. We were here celebrating our anniversary and they made our experience extra special. The entire staff at 45 Park Lane is welcoming and attentive. Would definitely recommend!

Great stay at luxury hotel in Mayfair.
Quiet area next to Hyde Park but within walking distance to shops, restaurants and subway.
Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
Excellent service from Hamza and the butler team.
All the staff are helpful and welcoming.

We can offer Halal certified Australian Wagyu beef and chicken breast. These do not need to be pre-ordered and are always available (subject to availability on the day).

COYA Mayfair

Beautiful restaurant if you are looking for something special.  The service and attention was refined and not overwhelming. The sommelier was knowledgeable and eager to help find that right wine.
The food was cleverly presented and eye pleasing.
That had several dining option which was very much appreciated. Set menu pair with drinks or order a la cart
The thing you need to be aware is if you want a leisurely meal the set menu is at the kitchens pace. Felt a bit rushed and even the lunch menu states it’s designed to be an hour. Meaning looking to turn tables.
The waiter never made us feel rushed but the pace nonetheless felt it. Waiter tried to accommodate.
It is a bit pricey and value of food was almost there but was stretched. Again beautifully presented. We asked for our beef fillet medium rare but was medium well. But the value was made up by ambience and the staffs attention.
So more of a destination dining experience than a culinary destination.
That honestly stated , we had a most enjoyable dining experience.

COYA is an Asian/Peruvian fusion restaurant with an eclectic vibe.

The menu is extremely tempting as one is drawn to try a little of everything.

Servings are small, and so I suggest ordering a variety of dishes.

The service was excellent and the music was managed by a live DJ who played Indie house.

Crowded restaurant, but we could speak without having to raise our voices.

The bar area is inviting and quite lively.

We ordered the Guacamole Dip - Wagyu Bao buns - Bluefin Tuna Tataki - Corn Empanadas - Sea Bass Ceviche - Pork Chops - Chilean Sea Bass - deserts - paired with Champagne and wine.

Everything we tried was shared between the 3 of us and it was just the right amount of food that allowed us to appreciate the culinary delight.

Very tasty - and very attentive staff.

A welcome surprise is no cell coverage as the restaurant is 20’ underground.

I did not see an elevator, and steps are steep / so at this point I would state it is accessible for those that may be challenged walking.

Peruvian food.  Guacamole is a must order with on hand waiter cooking the dish at your table.  All dishes are excellent and their ice creams are home made with rambutan! The cup which ice creams are served was frozen cup to keep the ice cream cold. Amazing!

On the top floor, there DJ playing fun music.  Love it!

Tried during June for 2, we weren’t super hungry so we got this and was more than enough:

Tacos de Shiitake con Chalaquita (6/10), tasted soulless tbh, but others could enjoy it as a vegetarian option.

Classic Sea Bass Ceviche (10/10) absolutely divine.

Pollo a la Parrilla (10/10) so soft and full flavor, amazing.

Would love to come here again to try other dishes 👍🏻

COYA is probably my favorite place in the world for lunch, it just never misses. The Xmas decorations made it even more wonderful to visit yesterday, and the service as per usual is 10. Zuzanna is just incredible and I really recommend getting in touch with her as she makes the experience above and beyond what you’d expect from a high-end establishment as is. Food is amazing, but service makes it what it is, so a huge shoutout to her, she’s always been incredible and makes every experience at COYA special.

Wagyu beef is halal. Pork and alcohol served.

Contemporary Anatolian cuisine by chef Colin Clague

Rüya

Embarking on a Turkish culinary odyssey @ruyalondon , nestled in the heart of Mayfair, where each dish unfolds like a symphony of Anatolian flavors, tantalizing the senses and captivating the soul! 🍽✨ From the moment we stepped into the opulent ambiance of Rüya, we knew we were in for an extraordinary dining experience.

Exploring the rich tapestry of Anatolian cuisine, we were enchanted by a plethora of delights that ranged from the melt-in-your-mouth kebabs to the artisanal Black Sea pide, each bite a testament to the culinary artistry of Rüya’s chefs. 💫🇹🇷 As the name suggests, Rüya truly embodies the essence of a dream, offering a gastronomic journey that transcends mere sustenance to become a celebration of life and culture.

Our culinary expedition began with an array of tantalizing starters, including the sumptuous roasted bone marrow paired with slow-cooked beef and velvety hummus that danced on our palates with every bite. 🌟 The İçli Köfte, with its delicate blend of beef and lamb dumplings enveloped in walnut butter and yogurt, was a revelation of flavors that left us yearning for more.

Venturing further into the culinary treasures of Rüya, we were treated to an assortment of oven-baked delights, from the aromatic truffle pide to the freshly baked simit, each imbued with the essence of Anatolian cuisine and crafted to perfection. 🥖🍄

For the main course, we were delighted by the iconic Adana Kebap, a true masterpiece of Turkish gastronomy, and the succulent lamb cutlets that were tender and bursting with flavor. 🍖 And no Turkish feast would be complete without indulging in the divine decadence of baklava and kunefe, sweet treats that transported us to the bustling streets of Istanbul with every mouthful. 🍰✨

But beyond the exquisite cuisine, it was the impeccable service and genuine warmth of the Rüya team that truly elevated our dining experience to new heights. 🌹 Their passion for hospitality and attention to detail ensured that every moment of our evening was nothing short of magical, leaving us with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Today, I went to a Turkish restaurant called Rüya London with my friends. The place had an exceptionally high aesthetic appeal. Every dish was delicious, and the service was great. If you book on weekdays through Fork, you can get a 50% discount, which is quite a deal. ⭐️
I recommend these dishes:
🍄
Black Truffle Turkish Pizza with a Poached Egg
Seriously, the combination of these ingredients makes it hard not to enjoy!
🐂
Beef Marrow with Chickpea Mash
The chickpea mash was incredibly smooth, and the beef marrow added a rich, fatty flavour.
🍕
Lahmacun
This is a thin and crispy Turkish lamb pizza. Whether you love lamb or pizza, this won't disappoint you.
🐚
Oysters
The oysters were a bit small, but they tasted great with the tangy and sweet sauce they were served with.
🔥
Grilled Lamb Chops
They were juicy, tender, full of charcoal flavour, and bursting with juices. Even the meat on the bones was flavorful.
Desserts:
🧀
Their signature dish is a honey pastry that takes 20 minutes to make. Inside, there's stretchy cheese, and it's topped with pistachio ice cream. Although it's a bit sweet, it's really delicious.
🍨
The sesame ice cream is also quite tasty, just a tad sweet.

I recently dined at Ruya London and it was a delightful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing the rich and vibrant flavors of Anatolian cuisine. Each dish was expertly prepared, and the spices and ingredients used were both authentic and fresh, transporting me to the heart of Anatolia with every bite.

While the portions were on the smaller side, the quality of the food more than made up for it. Every plate was beautifully presented, and the attention to detail was evident in both taste and appearance. The intimate portion sizes allowed us to try a variety of dishes, each one a unique culinary delight.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with a staff that was both knowledgeable and attentive.

I highly recommend Ruya for  anyone looking to explore the flavours of Anatolian cuisine. It’s a must-visit for food enthusiasts who appreciate taste and authenticity.

I recently dined at Ruya London and was impressed by the blend of modern ambiance and authentic Anatolian flavours. The Chicken Şiş was a standout, tender and flavorful, while the Baklava offered a perfect sweet ending. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. While it’s a bit on the pricier side, the quality of both the food and atmosphere makes it worth the visit. Ideal for a special night out or anyone looking to explore Turkish cuisine in an upscale setting

We came last night and had an amazing experience! The atmosphere is lovely (especially now with a Xmas touch). The food was amazing, with a special mention for the 24-hour short ribs. We tried a few restaurants in the area and I would say that this one is so far our favorite!
Thanks also to our waiter Annas who was really kind and gave us good advice about the menu
We gonna definitely come back

The vast majority of our menu is halal - if in doubt, our restaurant team will be happy to help!

Dining room with cosy red velvet banquettes

The grand, luxurious settings of Park Chinois were unforgettable! 

We were lucky enough to visit one of the most lavish and beautiful restaurants we’ve ever dined at...Park Chinois- even the name rings elegance! 🤣 We started off by trying the Szechuan Vegetable dumpling and Wagyu Beef Gyoza, which were delightful starters, the former being a little spicier and the latter being more rich and savoury. We then had the immaculate looking Wagyu Beef Short Ribs, which was again filled with rich flavours while the Wagyu beef was so tender you could eat it without even chewing. We also got the Roast Duck Fried Rice and Gamberi Rossi (Prawns), these two dishes were not as delicious as the others but they were not bad nonetheless.

Food: 8/10
Settings: 10/10
Service: 8.5/10
Overall: 8.8/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Park Chinois on Instagram

Park Chinois

I really like the environment and enjoyed having dim sum here for lunch. The siu long bao was extremely good. The chilli fried chicken was so so, but still enjoyable. All the other dim sum we ordered were of very high quality, made with fresh ingredients. You can really tell the care and the skill that goes into their homemade dim sum and cheong fun.

I was surprised that the restaurant was quite empty during weekend lunch, considering how good the food is. I think this place deserve more attention and could benefit from stronger marketing.

Overall, great value for money with good quality dim sum and a pleasant environment

Yesterday at lunchtime, my husband and I went to Park Chinios for lunch.
We were a little disappointed, as the dim sum did not taste the same as when I visited six years ago, and the presentation was also not as refined as before. However, I am looking forward to returning on Sunday and hope the other dim sum dishes will be a pleasant surprise.

We ended our meal with a matcha dessert, which was absolutely delicious. I do not usually enjoy Matcha , as I find the flavour too strong and bitter, but my husband wanted to try it, so we ordered it. To my surprise, it was excellent — even I began to change my mind about matcha. Paired with the crème brûlée, it was a perfect combination.

The service at the restaurant was outstanding. The manager and staff were all very helpful, and we truly enjoyed our dining experience.

Went there with my friends for dinner and can’t recommend it enough! Excellent service by all staff members, very good recommendations and specially by Yannik. He was very helpful throughout.
Food was brilliant, will definitely go again.

came here for the set lunch, priced at only £30pp in mayfair could not complain!! 2 starters, a main and a soup for £30 in mayfair is amazing and the food was worth the price. beautiful restaurant

We went for the lunch offer. It was nice and quiet and service was really nice. My only critique is the starters were better than the main. The main left a lot to be desired and was pretty average while the starters were excellent. Even if you don’t love corn the soup is worth a try. It would be great in the winter to warm you up but slightly heavy for the summer. I would go again for starters and drinks.

Select beef and chicken dishes are halal. Halal duck needs to be preordered. Pork and alcohol is served. 

High-end Italian restaurant inside The Wellesley (Marriott)

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.

Benares Mayfair

We had an absolutely fabulous time for lunch. Unlike other nicer Indian restaurant in the area, they didn’t compromise on the authentic flavors.

While our food was being prepared, the chef surprised us with Golguppas. OMG! the minty concoction were flavor bomb! Just the right mix of spicy, tangy and sweet flavors that take you back to Northern India streets.

Every dish was masterfully crafted. We had Samosa Chat, meat curry, Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani. The best part was my Masala Chai. Chef immediately understood when I asked for less milk and strong tea.

We went to Benares to celebrate my birthday and we were so glad we picked it. A bright warm welcome as soon you enter the restaurant, quick help with the coats and we were immediately shown to your seat. Everything on the menu looked so good but we were drawn the most towards the thali as it gives you so much variety to try out and let me tell you as an Indian, the food was authentic, delicious, perfect temperature, had balance and depth of flavours and everything went with each other. As if the awesome food was not enough we had the pleasure to be hosted by the charming Mr. Singh who put us at ease right from the time we placed our order and made sure we had everything we needed. Special mention to Selsi, our server, for an excellent service. We will be back for sure.

Dining at Benares is a masterclass in refined Indian cuisine, where technique and flavour come together effortlessly, which was perfect to celebrate my mums birthday. The starters set an exceptional tone: the oysters, scallops, and tandoori rattan were outstanding, each dish showcasing beautifully judged seasoning and inventive flavour combinations that felt both bold and perfectly balanced.

The mains were equally impressive. The meat curry and murg makhani were remarkably tender, with a depth of flavour that clearly reflected the skill of the kitchen. You could genuinely taste the influence of the tandoor, lending a subtle smokiness and authenticity that elevated every bite. The quality of the ingredients shone through, resulting in dishes that were rich, comforting, and exquisitely executed. For a Michelin star restaurant, the portions are a good size.

Thank you, Benares, for an amazing dinner night with my son.
One of the most exquisite dining experiences in the heart of Mayfair.
I highly recommend this restaurant as an outstanding Indian dining option.
Special thanks to Prabhat  for guiding us through the best menu choices and for his exceptional hospitality, which truly made the evening memorable.

Benares offers an exceptional dining experience, blending refined Indian flavours with a modern touch. The food is beautifully presented, full of depth and balance, and the service is polished yet warm. A truly memorable restaurant in the heart of London.

The chicken and lamb are certified halal. The venison and duck are not - and can be replaced.

Hideaway London

Had an amazing experience!!
As a barista myself, I know how hard it is to consistently deliver great coffee, and this place truly nails it. The mocha I tried was one of the best I've had
rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced.

Chirag, was super helpful. He made some great recommendations.

Despite being busy on a weekend, the team managed to keep up and deliver excellent service. The waffle was also a highlight - yum!

A hidden gem of refinement and calm — the perfect blend of specialty coffee, breakfast elegance, and a touch of champagne.

Hideaway by HIDE is one of those rare places in London where everything feels effortlessly perfect. Tucked away from the city’s rush, it offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease. The design is minimalist but chic, with natural light, warm textures, and an attention to detail that speaks volumes about quality and taste.

The coffee here is simply outstanding — true specialty grade, roasted and brewed with precision. You can tell from the first sip that it’s crafted for those who appreciate excellence. The breakfast selection is light yet indulgent, featuring fresh ingredients, perfect presentation, and flavors that pair beautifully with their sparkling wine or champagne options.

Service is impeccable — friendly, discreet, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Whether you come for a quiet morning coffee, a meeting, or a relaxed brunch with a glass of champagne, the experience always feels consistent and elevated.

Hideaway captures the very essence of modern London sophistication: simple pleasures executed with perfection. A place where time slows down and every detail — from the coffee aroma to the glassware — feels deliberately chosen.

Truly one of London’s most elegant cafés, and an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine taste and understated luxury.

Absolutely loved this café! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and beautifully set up — the perfect place to relax and enjoy great coffee.

What truly made the experience special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive, but Ada deserves a special mention. She was genuinely kind, professional, and made us feel so welcome with her positive energy and warm smile. Her service alone turns a simple coffee stop into a memorable experience.

The drinks were excellent, well-prepared, and served with care. You can really feel the passion and love behind this place.

Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be coming back again and again ☕✨

This is my second visit to Hideaway London — the first time was for breakfast, and this time I came for coffee and dessert. The place truly deserves a visit! Their food is delicious, and the desserts are just as good. I really love the calm and cozy atmosphere; it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your time. Highly recommended! 🌿☕🍰

Visited Hideaway London, a coffee shop set in one of the city’s luxury areas. The atmosphere is stylish and inviting, but the food and drinks didn’t quite meet expectations. We ordered the waffle, which wasn’t as good as we had hoped, and the coffee was just okay. A nice place to stop by for the setting, but the quality could be improved to match the location.

May Fair Kitchen, Mayfair

Celebrated my mother's birthday here with an afternoon tea and an evening meal. The afternoon tea is exceptional the best I have ever had. The evening meal was a selection of Japanese and Italian foods designed to be consumed on a sharing basis with a recommendation of purchasing 4 items to share between 2 people. The seafood platter consisted of oysters, tiger prawns, tuna sashimi, hamachi and cornish crab. At £85 this was of very fine quality but will not fill you up. This has been my experience of other Japanese restaurants. I ordered a pizza from the Italian menu which was of good quality and sizeable portion. Reshma explained the Japanese dishes in great clarity and in very good detail. I also ordered many drinks from the bar the Japanese single malt whiskies were of a surprisingly high quality although of course despite the fact nothing will ever beat a Scotch these come very close and are well worth sampling. All spirits come in 50ml standard measures so the prices really aren't that high. Finally the breakfast here is of the very highest standard. A traditional full english is provided along with a contintential option consisting of cereals, seeds and a charcuterie as well as a bakery option all on a buffet service. In addition there are a la carte options consisting of Italian poached eggs, Japanese salmon sashimi, cinnamon french toast and buttermilk pancakes. This really is of an exceptional standard and particular mention must go to the flat white coffee and juices both of which are the best I have ever had. The breakfast experience is second only to The Ritz in New York and by far the best breakfast I have ever had in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Really disappointed we had told them a month in advance that we were halal and non-alcoholic and what came out was the vegan menu with salmon sandwiches. When we first sat down we were asked if we wanted to still or sparkling water but were not told that this would be chargeable. They added a 15% surcharge to the menu even though the only thing that they would refill was the sandwiches, given the length of time we gave them in terms of our halal request, we would’ve expected some halal sandwiches. halal does not mean fish.

Celebrated my birthday with family and the service from Eros was exceptional! Knowledgeable about the menu options and wine selection, patient with us as we made our choices and always near by if we needed anything! We could not be thankful. The food was equally amazing! Looking forward to visiting again.

A Memorable Birthday at May Fair Kitchen

We recently celebrated a birthday at May Fair Kitchen, and everything was simply perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The ambiance is elegant and relaxed, ideal for a special occasion.

The food was exceptional — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfectly portioned. We especially loved the variety of Mediterranean and Italian, inspired dishes, each one crafted with care and creativity.

What truly made the evening unforgettable was the attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make the birthday feel special, even surprising us with a thoughtful dessert gesture that made the celebration even sweeter.

If you're looking for a place in Mayfair that combines fine dining, style, and a personal touch, May Fair Kitchen is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be back!!

The dinner experience at the May Fair Kitchen is truly incredible! The food and cocktails were delicious and the service was excellent! My waitress Reshma was kind and attentive throughout the whole dining experience! You must try the white chocolate cheesecake!

Food: I feel really bad saying this because we actually really enjoyed ourselves at Novikov, but the food just didn’t live up to our expectations. The Singapore Noodles and Prawn Fried Rice were bland and flavourless, and the Sweet and Sour Prawns weren’t as good as they are at the Chinese down the road. The Prawn Tempura was okay, quite oily though, but the Baby Squid was probably the best thing we ate that night.
Service: The atmosphere at Novikov is incredible! We really did enjoy every second there and would definitely go back, more for the lovely service rather than the food though, haha. 😬

@cravingthathalal's review of Novikov Mayfair on Instagram

It's the @novikovrestaurant review
baby! In my Top 2 restaurants and has remained there
for years. Silly of me after a good few visits I've never
actually posted a review of it! Here we are now.
There's plenty of pricey restaurants in London to
choose from but this is the best for me. There's two
sections to the restaurant, Asian or Italian. We always
opt for Asian.
Well as you're seated they serve you some vegetables
with some sauce which I believe is called shizu sauce
this sauce is pretty remarkable, and it's so tricky to
describe the taste but it's so good we finish it all up
and request another set of it. It certainly is special and
that just highlights the start of this tasteful experience.
Mains:
Korean Lamb Cutlets: A serving of 4 and these are a
must order. The way it's cooked, the tenderness is
unrivalled. Then there's the thick glaze of a teriyaki
type flavour which takes the flavour up a notch. You
can also get these cooked how you want I.e medium
rare. I'll be honest though on this occasion they arrived
warm and weren't as amazing but still damm delicious.
Black Cod with Miso sauce. Spectacular. Never had
black cod as good as this, cooked to perfection and
with that sauce just another level.
Sushi: We ordered 3 different types and all were really
really good, as you'd expect at this quality/level. Our
favorite was the salmon and cheese one - overall the
yummiest even though we also tried a truffle infused
one.
We've tried their wok


Also their wagyu tacos are nice but not amazing imo
compared to the above mains anyway.
Dessert is also great but nothing too special.
Overall Novikov offers food on such a high level of
quality and taste, the price really is worth it and makes
a great dinner spot for special occasions - the level of
flavours is up there.
Taste: 10, Quality: 10, Value: 8

@halalfoodtherapy's review of Novikov Mayfair on Instagram

Novikov Restaurant & Bar

Novikov Asian is one of my favorite restaurants in London, always offering a refined atmosphere with elegant décor that makes the dining experience feel special. The food is generally delicious, and their sushi remains outstanding with top quality and incredible taste that never disappoints. The service is excellent, with staff who are attentive, professional, and eager to make guests feel welcomed, which is one of the main reasons I always come back. This time I noticed that the quality of some dishes like the tacos and fried rice was slightly different from before, but overall the experience was still enjoyable. Novikov remains one of the best Asian dining options in London and is highly recommended for anyone who appreciates fine cuisine.

Very nice vibes in the place. The restaurant serves both italian and asian cuisines. I went for the asian restaurant. Sushi was really good. Recommended dishes are noodles, chicken sweet and sour and the top highlight was king prawns with the special cocktail sauce. Speacial NOVikola is recommended from mocktails menu and it has a special twist. Service was ok with minor delays in serving. Dessert was delicious, the special limited edition of chocolate cigar is highly recommended. The place is pricey but worth it

Service has gone down, kitchen is lazy and will not even tolerate a honey allergy.  Was quite disappointing. Quality and service has gone down drastically in the past few years. They charge you minimum charge of 100 pounds per person and the say they cannot  serve you any food. Very bad way to trap your clients.

Lovely food and service! Sushi is great, but be specific with that you order, it can be a bit greasy. The music was super loud like in a club,we asked twice to lower the volume but they only lowered it 2 percent. That was the most annoying part. Other than the super loud ear breaking music, food and service is great. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely experience.

My fav in London.. will be always my go to for food, but not the all types of sushi is delicious but it’s good..
Good atmosphere very helpful stuff
I enjoy every moment in here for real

All halal items are clearly marked on the menu including chicken, duck and lamb. Please ask a member of staff for assistance if anything is unclear.

New lamb burger from Mamounia Lounge in Knightsbridge. Went with the lovely peeps at @halalgems for their monthly burger Monday get together. 
The burger itself was rather disappointing. There's only lamb burgers on the menu, lamb is a far more naturally flavoured meat compared to beef. But this was a very average lamb burger. We were not asked how we wanted the burger Cooked, as a result we where served with a over cooked well done burger which drew all the natural juices out of the burger and made it too dry. The first bite was pleasant enough, there's was a simple spiced lamb flavour that I could taste, but then each bit became a challenge and required effort. It was not the most enjoyable experience, my mouth became drier with each bit, I found myself constantly asking for my glass of water to be topped up, which it seemed like a age. 
What tops it off is the price. £14, or £15.75 Inc service. Someone call the cops because I've just been robbed. Its the most expensive burger I've had in London and certainly one of the most disappointing. 
What annoyed me more was I thought about the lamb burger I could not got from Five Lads in Leyton for and fraction of the price and that tastes better...then I kinda wished I had a stax Burger or something. 
Only plus of points where the decor of the place and the presentation, it held together. But when a burger is that dry, there was no danger of it falling apart. Wait.. Where was the cheese?argh 
One to avoid.

@halalfoodguy's review of Mamounia Mayfair on Instagram

Mamounia Lounge Mayfair

We purchased houmous with flat bread, baby chicken, lamb kafta, and baklawa.

The baby chicken was one of the best chicken main course dishes I have tried in London, or abroad.

The houmous and flat bread was also good. The baklawa was good. The lamb kafta was good.

The best dish that we tried on the menu was the baby chicken main course dish, I would highly recommend it. It is soft, well seasoned, with garlic, a sauce to dip the chicken in, and salad.

The woman who served us was polite.

We usually come here for shisha, and the food is decent — this time we tried the chicken broth soup, and it was quite good. The lady taking care of the outside area was very attentive and kind, and we really appreciate her. We were sitting outside and the heating was great, making it very comfortable.

It’s a bit different from 5 years ago.
The tables are not as busy as before now.
Shisha is coming to £70 but understandable.

Will still be a good spot if you want shisha ant somewhere to talk and chill.

Walked up hoping this restaurant would be a good time and it did not disappoint in the slightest. The shisha was quickly brought out and it lasted for quite a while which easily shows that they know how to properly prepare it. Probably of the best hookahs I’ve had in a long time but it doesn’t stop there because the food was just as amazing. Started off with the hummus that came with an outstanding Lebanese bread that we had to get more of even when the main dish came. Went with the baby chicken dish and the chicken skewers were seasoned to perfection and when paired with their chili pepper spread and garlic aioli. All the servers were great to interact with and very attentive. Probably one of the best places I’ve been to in London to have a meal and vibe at. Would definitely recommend!

Honestly to come here and relax it is a haven for such saviours.

I came this time to try the food.
We ordered grilled halloumi., Lamb sambousek, kibbeh makieh., Moutabel., breads coffees fresh orange., Moroccan green tea

The service is good.

Nice olace for locals to enjoy the Shisha

All meat is Halal, no pork at the venue. Alcohol is served.

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

Jean-Georges at The Connaught

Jean-Georges at The Connaught is a refined yet surprisingly relaxed dining room — elegant without the stiffness you sometimes find in Mayfair. The large windows overlooking Mount Street give the space a beautiful energy during the day, especially at lunch.

The menu blends French technique with Asian influences; try the crispy salmon sushi or the black truffle pizza if you want something playful but perfectly executed. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors balanced, and presentation thoughtful without being overdesigned.

Service is polished and professional, though at times a bit distant — efficient rather than warm. It’s worth mentioning that the atmosphere can get quite lively in the evening, so for a calmer experience, a weekday lunch or early dinner is ideal.

Tip: ask for a table by the window if available, and don’t skip dessert — the warm chocolate cake is one of the best in London. Jean-Georges is where you go not just to eat well, but to feel quietly indulged.

Dinner at Jean Georges at The Connaught looks great and the service is polished but the food landed in the “good, not special” zone for me.

The best thing I had was a small complimentary soup from the chef  genuinely excellent, and I wish it were on the menu.

Nice room, worth a try if you’re nearby.

We came for the Afternoon Tea Experience, and from the very beginning, the staff were incredibly welcoming. During the service, we had the pleasure of being served by Fernando and Carolina — two wonderful Italian hosts who were not only very knowledgeable about the tea selection, but also explained the entire experience beautifully. They suggested the teas most suited to our tastes and even recommended some great activities to explore in the area.
A very special thanks to Kate, she was also extremely accommodating and took the time to share some thoughtful suggestions, which we truly appreciated.
The food was fantastic and perfectly paired with the teas, thanks to the team’s guidance — and the pastries were probably the best I’ve ever had in my life.
The only thing that could be improved is the ambience: there was no background music in the lobby and could hardly been heard during the experience itself, which would have made the atmosphere even more comfortable and relaxing.

Really enjoyed dinner here, sadly don't have a picture of the lamb chops but they were cooked and seasoned to perfection and couldn't recommend them enough. Our favourite starters were the crispy salmon bites aabd the tuna tartare. Service is great here as you'd expect and if you go for a drink at any of the Connaught's bars they are happy to move your drinks and tab with you.

I hate writing this, but if management reads these, I think you should pay attention here!

Your restaurant is beautiful and has nice views out the windows.  The wine list is extensive, your menu looks great, and your team tries to provide great service.  You have everything it takes to be great, but you're simply not.

Highlights:  your somm Veronica is truly exceptional, so is her colleague from France, but I did not get his name sadly.  She made our visit one to remember.  Talked openly about wines she loves, educated us, made us feel like family.  She is your greatest asset currently.  He also did a great job and let us try another dessert wine that he wanted to contrast with what we were drinking.  Drinks and wines by the glass were great, food is good but not exceptional.  Dining room is really pretty and nicely lit.  Our server could not have been nicer, but he was clearly new at this and a bit out of his league.  I realize we dined on a Monday night, but you should never have your B-team on site for dinner at a place with your reputation.

Lowlights:  Without any discussion of the menu and prior to us even receiving our drinks or any bread, the server asked "are you ready to order", I was honestly a bit taken aback!  You did not give us any thoughts about the menu or ask if we had questions, nothing to help us along here.  This was a big miss.  Amuse came out and it was excellent, did not even clear that plate and our appetizers were delivered.  Never bring food to the table before clearing the last course, this is common knowledge and far inferior restaurants do this better than you did.  It also immediately made me feel rushed.  Server trying to get our order quickly, then food showing up rapid fire.  I had to ask for the entree to be slowed down and the server said he would wait 5-10 minutes to put it in.  25-30 minutes later he comes back and asks if he can fire our entrees?  In my mind, I'm thinking we already agreed to this and I don't work here so don't bring me issues.  Just do what we discussed, not hard.

Finally, when your restaurant has few diners on a Monday night, don't seat all the customers next to each other.  You seated 2 different parties of 2 across from us when there were 10 other tables you could have put them at.  It created a bottleneck in that hallway and people were having trouble getting through there.  Rookie mistake by the people who seat your customers, think it through, space people out, create a bit of privacy.

I don't think we will be back, but we did enjoy certain aspects of the experience.  Again, our server was very personable but is not ready for the job due to you not training him on what excellent service looks like.  Thanks again to both Somms, they made it worth being there!  It would have been a 3 star review otherwise.

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.

MiMi Mei Fair

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Mimi Mei Fair in London. This Shanghai style Chinese restaurant exceeded all expectations with its elegant atmosphere, creative drinks, and beautifully presented dishes. The flavors were authentic, refined, and perfectly balanced a true celebration of Shanghai culinary traditions with a modern twist.
The service was attentive and friendly, and the cocktails (including non-alcoholic options) were both unique and delicious. Every course surprised me in the best way, combining bold flavors and delicate textures. The ambience was stylish yet comfortable, making it a perfect spot for both a special night out and a memorable meal.
Highly recommend Mimi Mei Fair to anyone looking for exceptional Chinese cuisine in London .a must visit destination for food lovers!

visited MiMi Mei Fair tonight, and everything was truly exceptional from start to finish. The food was exceptionally delicious — every single dish was cooked to perfection, full of vibrant flavors, delicate textures, and beautifully balanced seasoning. You can really taste the quality and attention to detail in every bite. Each dish felt special and thoughtfully prepared — from the starters to the mains and dessert, everything was just outstanding. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every dish impresses, but MiMi Mei Fair absolutely achieves that.

The drinks were excellent, perfectly made and well-paired with the dishes. The staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the evening.

And the cheesecake — absolutely unforgettable! Creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced, it was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had.

The restaurant itself is elegant and cozy, with a refined atmosphere that makes it ideal for a special dinner. Without a doubt, one of the best Chinese restaurants in London I’ve visited so far. Everything was perfect — can’t wait to come back!

I absolutely loved my recent experience at Mimi Mei Fair. It’s a stunning Chinese restaurant right in the heart of Mayfair- beautifully designed with a cozy, sophisticated atmosphere that makes it feel really special.
We started with the seafood dim sum and crispy langoustines, which were both absolutely delicious. For mains, I had the spicy tofu and chilli prawns with rice- such an amazing feast, full of flavour and perfectly cooked.
It’s definitely high-end Chinese cuisine done right, with great attention to detail in every dish. The staff were great and helpful too.
I highly recommend this spot and I’m looking forward to come back for more.

I had a fantastic experience at Mimi Mei Fair! The food was incredible as every dish we tried was full of flavour and cooked to perfection. I also have a peanut allergy and they catered to me perfectly. The decor is like something in a fairytale book. The service was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and attentive. I couldn’t fault a thing! I highly recommend this place

I had a fantastic experience at Mimi Mei Fair! The food was outstanding, the Xiao Long Jewels were definitely the highlight of the meal, absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The Mala Spicy Tofu was also amazing, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. On top of that, the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and a special mention to Sam who served us he was incredibly nice and made us feel really welcome. Highly recommend this place!

MiMi Mei Fair does cater for Halal food. We also take measures to ensure there is no cross-contamination with non-Halal food in the kitchen.

Mimi Mei Fair

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?

Nusr-Et

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.

Luxury hotel restaurant serving Cantonese recipes in a chic setting evoking 1930s Shanghai

China Tang at The Dorchester

I don’t often give a venue a top rating but China Tang has been so consistent for so many years that it deserves the kudos. One can safely judge a restaurant from the quality of its ablutions. It does not disappoint! The bar is cosy and the staff attentive. The restaurant is vibey and yet, the acoustics allow for conversation. The duck is the coup de grace and has never disappointed. Remains one of the few Mayfair venues that hits all the traditional values associated with fine London dining.

As someone who truly enjoys Chinese cuisine, I was very curious to try TANG, especially after hearing so many recommendations. Unfortunately, my expectations were probably too high. It’s a good Chinese restaurant, but far from the “wow” experience it aims to be.

The atmosphere is elegant, and the wine list is excellent — extremely diverse, with options to please even the most refined palate. However, when it comes to the food, nothing particularly stood out. The dishes were fine, but none had that depth or flavour profile you would expect from a restaurant of this level.

Service was acceptable, though not impeccable. I did experience a rather unpleasant incident — while carving a duck, one of the waiters accidentally dropped a piece on his shoe and then placed it back beside the duck before taking it to the kitchen for the next course. Completely unacceptable for a restaurant of this standard.

Overall, TANG is decent but overrated. If you’re looking for truly remarkable Chinese cuisine in London, Hakkasan still remains number one in my opinion.

The first time was a restaurant I stumbled upon while walking alone. The second time, I came with my best friend and chatted with a French couple who were traveling and sitting next to us. 😊

Make sure to make a reservation before coming to this restaurant, or you'll have to wait for at least 20 minutes. The soup is delicious.

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but it was late and I was so hungry, so we decided to try the hotel's restaurant. Unexpectedly, we loved everything we ordered. However, we wanted sea bass, which was already sold out, so we came back again after a few days. We weren't disappointed, and everything we ordered was nice.

Nice Chinese restaurant. I enjoyed the main course more than the starters; the dumplings could have been better. Lovely place with good service. I expected the food to be a bit better, but it wasn’t bad at all.

China Tang

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

We were very excited to dine here and, having experienced several Michelin-starred restaurants before, we arrived with high expectations. We chose the Harmonie tasting menu, and while each dish was beautifully presented, some lacked depth of flavour.

The scallops were outstanding and we also enjoyed the restaurant’s signature dish. However, the cheese course was underwhelming and the wild mushroom dish, one we had particularly looked forward to, was unfortunately quite bitter and didn’t meet our expectations.

The staff were lovely, but attention to detail could have been better. The tables weren’t cleared between courses and the bread and butter stayed until dessert.

A thoughtful touch was the final celebratory cake for our anniversary, which we truly appreciated.

Overall, it was a beautiful and enjoyable experience, but when dining at a three-star Michelin restaurant, excellence is expected throughout. While there is much to admire here, we felt there is room for improvement, and for us, the experience did not quite justify the price.

We've been slowly working our way through the 3 Michelin star restaurants of London. It's a definite variety of styles & purposes. We hated the Fat Duck but adored Hélène Darroze — they have very different styles. So we were thrilled to find Alain Ducasse to be very much the fine French dining experience. Great wine list. Excellent service. Perfect execution and showcase of quality ingredients. Some specific highlights for us: the socca starting snack was light and delicious; mushroom-pine broth was a sheer delight; scallop with lemon beurre blanc is a triumph of French sauce; the main's side dish of venison ragù is exceptional and I wish I could have it right now; rhum baba is the best one we've ever had.

\\ A Singaporean Girl Review

A little short of perfection. Food was absolutely perfect. Service and atmosphere could be better.

So I was in the UK for about 2+ weeks and greedily packed two 3-star Michelin restaurants in one day. I am writing this review after going to both restaurants and Alain Ducasse would rank 2nd to the other restaurant based on my personal experience. Small things that I thought Alain Ducasse staff could pay a bit more attention to:

1. Glassware. My wine glass has a chip. On the rim. Personally, I wasn't expecting this from a 3-star Michelin restaurant. I informed the staff, he apologised and changed the glass.

2. Attention to detail. One of us had stained a blotch during dinner, but it was just left as it was. The wait staff from the other restaurant had helped cover the table with a slip cloth, giving me a sense of professionalism and neatness. On top of that, our tables weren't cleaned with a table crumber between courses, except once. Not sure why the difference.

3. Atmosphere. Love the interior decoration. One word. Classy. But the frosted glass windows made us somewhat aware of the petrol cars during the meal, which were quite frequent.

Otherwise, the food was really, Really, REALLY good. I need to emphasise this. The moment you put the first Hors D'oeuvres dish in your mouth, you knew the chef had years of experience with blood, sweat and time put in to be this good. It was balanced to perfection. Speechless. I would describe it as... "no plastic surgery, just really, Really, REALLY good original French cuisine".

Despite the 3 pointers raised, I would still come back for more. They are often booked out, so reservations are highly recommended. Chef was really stressed as we could hear his shouting from where we were seating. But hey, it was full house, and the food... yums. Looking forward to my next visit.

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester delivers timeless Mayfair luxury without a hint of flash. From crystal drapes to Saint-Louis glassware, everything feels calm, confident, and meticulously refined. The seasonal tasting menu is outstanding—precise scallops with Kristal caviar, aromatic wild mushrooms, flawless halibut, and an unforgettable Rhug venison. Wine pairings elevate every dish with quiet sophistication. Service is impeccable, appearing at the exact moment you need it. After a 3-hour dinner that never missed a beat, it’s clear why this restaurant has held its three Michelin stars for 18 years. A must-visit in London.

Dining at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is, without a doubt, an out-of-this-world experience. The 7-course menu is a festival of flavours on the palate; the staff’s attention is unequivocally up to the exacting standards of Mayfair. As a dessert lover, I can emphatically say that the finest dessert I have ever tasted took place in this restaurant – “Baba like in Monte Carlo” is an obligatory choice to round off this exquisite tasting with a golden flourish. The 3 Michelin stars are precisely where they belong: the best restaurant in the United Kingdom.

The restaurant is fully compliant with Halal guidelines. Halal beef is sourced from a reputable and approved supplier. It is delivered in sealed packaging to prevent any risk of cross-contamination and is labelled to ensure full identification and traceability. The meat is stored in sealed packaging so that there is no risk of contact with non-Halal products. Dedicated Halal preparation boards and knives are used at all times.

We love going to Michelin Star Restaurants to see how each one compares!

Food: The starters were delicious. We asked for the Lamb Chops, the Baked Samosa and the Chicken Wings. The Samosas particularly stood out; definitely different to how mama makes them at home! 😅 The Wings were boneless and had a tasty kick to them. In terms of curries, we ordered the Butter Chicken and Prawn Kerala. The sauce that the prawns were cooked in was thick and tasty but the Butter Chicken didn’t live up to our high expectations as it was quite watery. The mocktails were also quite funky... ginger and turmeric mojito anyone?! 😂
Service: Good service.

@halalfoodguy's review of Tamarind Mayfair on Instagram

Tamarind

Visited Atul Kochhar’s Tamarind and was genuinely impressed. This is Indian fine dining done right. It was my first time trying a samosa served in a cone instead of the traditional form, and it was absolutely brilliant. The flavours throughout the meal were perfectly balanced rich and authentic without being overwhelming. I don’t know how Atul manages to achieve that exact sweet spot that works beautifully for both Desi palates and international diners. A refined, memorable dining experience and definitely worth a visit.

Came here as a party of 6. The food was excellent specially the grills and biryanis. I would avoid the paneer as it was overwhelming with cardamom however the rest of the dishes were fabulous (as per photos).

Expect to pay around £120-£150 per person and that’s with a non alcoholic drink. Double that if one is to have a few beverages.

Excellent all round

One of the well known fine dining Indian restaurants in London. We tried the pre-fix menu to sample a variety of dishes. The chaat starter didn't quite impress me, but the kebabs, lamb chops, and lobster that followed were excellent. The shrimp curry and lentil daal were both rich and flavorful. I felt that swapping the plain naan for garlic naan could make the meal even better. Overall, a satisfying experience with a few tweaks that could elevate it further.

Delicious food and they were accommodating to change the tasting menu for dietary restrictions. Enjoyably paced tasting menu in a lovely setting overall. Particularly enjoyed the chicken kebabs, tandoori paneer, and raj aloo - cocktails were also lovely.

Visited here to celebrate my friends birthday. Tried their varieties of vegetarian dishes ..starters portions seemed bit small but food was tasty brocolli was my favourite delicious cocktails. Ambience is elegant.

Set over three floors with views across Green Park

HIDE

We had a wonderful family breakfast at Hide today. The service was excellent—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming, which made the experience feel relaxed and special from the start. The decor is beautiful and refined, striking a perfect balance between elegant and comfortable.

The pastries were truly exceptional—fresh, flaky, and clearly made with real care. They alone are worth a visit. The main breakfast dishes were just as impressive: well-presented, high quality, and delicious across the board.

Flawless. Warm and friendly yet refined and luxury. A sophisticated cuddle. Was lucky to be invited to a private dining experience with friends. Gorgeous setup. Sommelier was very knowledgeable, chatty, nothing was too much trouble. Appreciated banter and pushed back with new suggestions based on feedback. The food... say no more. Loved the cheeses too.

Went there for dinner had the tasting menu.
Overall great dishes, quality and portions.I personally thought the fish dish wasn’t the tastiest and I felt dessert could be better.
Tasty drinks. Good service.
I love that you can have the tasting menu as halal/veggie , very lovely touch.

Hide — 5 stars. A beautifully elegant restaurant with exceptionally warm and welcoming staff. The wine selection is outstanding, thoughtfully curated, and pairs wonderfully with the dishes. The food is both delicious and creatively presented — refined, interesting, and full of flavour. I’ve visited this restaurant multiple times and can wholeheartedly recommend it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. A truly memorable dining experience every time.

Breakfast at HIDE is simply exceptional. Every time I visit, I’m reminded why this place stands among London’s finest dining destinations. The atmosphere is calm, elegant, and filled with natural light — the perfect way to start the day.

The Croque Madame was absolutely amazing — perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy and rich inside, cooked with real precision. The pain au chocolat was buttery, light, and fresh, one of the best I’ve had in London. Combined with their single-origin coffee, the flavours come together beautifully, creating a breakfast experience that feels both luxurious and comforting.

The service is warm and professional, and the attention to detail is remarkable — from the plating to the pacing, everything is flawless.

HIDE is more than just a restaurant; it’s a complete experience, where quality and elegance meet in perfect harmony. The ideal breakfast spot for anyone who appreciates true culinary craftsmanship.

Michelin starred Nanyang Chinese Restaurant

Kai Mayfair

Really enjoyed our lunch at Kai Mayfair. The food was excellent, I particularly liked the elevated take on things like salt and pepper squid and prawn toast. The Chilean sea bass was phenomenal, truly melted in your mouth. I also really enjoyed the ambiance and details, the art, decor and dishes add to the experience. The service is elevated and refined. Perfect for a special occasion!

We had an incredible experience at Kai Mayfair. The food was absolutely outstanding. The pork belly and squid were honestly the best I’ve ever tasted and every dish felt beautifully thought out and perfectly executed. The staff were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. They even surprised my partner with a lovely birthday platter, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The only downside was the dress code. We made the effort to dress smartly but most other diners were wearing jeans, hoodies, and trainers. It completely killed the atmosphere and cheapened what should feel like a high end dining experience. If a restaurant has a dress code, it should really be applied to everyone as it’s part of what sets the tone.

Overall though, the service and food were exceptional. With a bit more consistency in maintaining the ambience, it would easily be a five star experience.

I got offered an afternoon tea for my birthday and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We came with my husband and 9 month baby, the staff was very accommodating and helpful. The room downstairs has a very soft ambiance with beautiful paintings, and dimmed lights. I loved the theme with the crazy rich Asian book, the plates and littles decoration was very well done. The trays and teapots were also very pretty. The food was exquisite! The portions are quite small but each of them have a special taste, which i appreciated. It does change from the usual sandwiches. You can choose to have a refill of the savoury or sweet. The only downside if you could only pick one tea per person which was a shame. The staff was very nice as well. We were very happy with the experience.

Kai Mayfair (London): A sleek Mayfair gem reimagining Chinese gourmet classics in modern elegance.

• Vibe: Velvet chairs + bold artwork = upscale, intimate dining (perfect for special occasions).

• Standouts: Crisp-skin Peking duck (carved tableside) & delicate dim sum (balanced, elevated flavors).

Pro Tips:

• Book 2+ weeks ahead (it’s in high demand).

• Dress smart casual; the £100+ price tag matches the fine-dining quality.

• Service is attentive but unobtrusive—ideal for dates/business meals.

This isn’t just Chinese food—it’s a refined take on classics in London’s poshest spot. 🍽️”

Came here for lunch the place was exquiste. The decorations and table wear brought the visual senses to attention before ever seeimg the menu.  Then the food didnt disapoint.  It was so.good. ordered mutliple things and left more full than i shld have.

Everything on the menu is Halal except the pork, duck and wagyu. 

Celebrated our beautiful bride’s hen at @sexyfishlondon in their Coral Reef Room 🐠 Beautiful food, beautiful vibes & beautiful company❣️

The chilli & lime tiger prawns were the highlight for me 🦐 And who knew burrata could be served with kimchi?!

✨ The courses were spread out over a couple of hours enabling us to enjoy some hen games, play a video on the big screen & connect to the sound system. ✨ 

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit & a big thank you to the staff for such friendly service.

@halalfoodbae's review of Sexy Fish Mayfair on Instagram

Sexy Fish Mayfair

I’ve been here a few times, usually on weekends, and I’ve always enjoyed the vibe. Weekends are definitely more lively and great if you’re looking for a buzzing atmosphere.

This time, I went on a solo lunch date and opted for the lunch offer: two starters, one main, and a glass of wine. I spent approximately £55.

I ordered the tempura prawns, prawn gyoza, and the salmon teriyaki, which came with rice. Complimentary edamame was also provided, which was a nice touch. The food was an 8/10 overall.

I did try to book online for one person, but it was showing no availability. However, when I called the restaurant directly, they did have availability, so it’s worth giving them a call if online booking looks full.

Despite it being a Thursday lunchtime, the restaurant was super busy. The place is very aesthetically pleasing, and the outside seating area is especially nice perfect for cosy winter hot drinks or summer cocktail vibes. The service from the staff was a solid 10/10.

Visited Sexy Fish today and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food is on a high level, from the perfectly cooked steak with herb butter, to the buttery seabass with that beautiful foamy sauce, through to the nigiri topped with caviar and the colourful sushi rolls. Everything was fresh, balanced and full of flavour. We finished with doughnuts and a rich chocolate dessert, both absolutely spot on and a great way to end the meal.
The restaurant itself is stunning – dramatic mermaid art, a gorgeous bar with an incredible whisky selection and that iconic mermaid statue and neon lights give the place a real “wow” factor. Service was friendly, attentive and well-timed without being intrusive. Ismail was great! Overall, a flawless 5-star experience & highly recommended and I’ll definitely be back.

I went to this restaurant with my company, in one of the best areas of London where many great restaurants sit side by side. The food was excellent high-quality ingredients, perfectly dishes, and very good wine to match.

It is definitely an expensive restaurant, but the overall experience makes it worth it. The fish was outstanding, and the starters were also very good nothing overly flashy, just really well-executed food.

I would absolutely recommend this place for a great night out in London, and I will definitely be coming back. A spot you should definitely check out.

We happened on this restaurant when we were walking around the area viewing the Christmas light. We were so grateful for finding it. We did not have a reservation on a busy Sunday morning so we were seated at a table in the bar which was just perfect. The atmosphere was so fun with incredible decorations and upbeat music. The food fish was so fresh and everything was delicious but I think the best part of the experience was the customer service. Our wase Elena and she was lovely and genuinely enhanced our experience. I could not recommend this restaurant more highly. If you are in the area check it out. P.S. one of my friends left and envelope of money on the table. Elena ran after us but when she couldn’t catch us she had the manager call us so we could turn around and get us. There are still good people in the world!!

Sexy Fish is absolutely stunning. The décor is bold, artistic, and contemporary. Service was truly immaculate, with every staff member going out of their way to make sure every detail was perfect. They even refolded our napkins each time we stepped away, giving the experience a refined, high-end touch. The type of attention you expect for a high end restaurant.

A special highlight was the young woman from Suceava, Romania, who helped us throughout the evening. She was vibrant, warm, and genuinely fun—her energy made our night even better. Our sommelier and the rest of the team were equally attentive, and everyone who approached our table made us feel completely cared for.

The food was excellent—beautifully prepared and incredibly tasty. We enjoyed every dish.

Our only complaint is the price. While the experience is exceptional, it’s extremely expensive, and the cost is something to be aware of.

Overall, we loved our night at Sexy Fish: remarkable service, fantastic food, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere—just be prepared for a very high price tag.

We don't have Halal meat. However, we have a lot of fish and vegetarian options.

Sexy Fish

Sensational, Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of London

The Lanesborough Grill

I really wish I could say we had an amazing meal here, but unfortunately, we did not. I am a cook and I was really looking forward to this meal as this place has great reviews. I booked this for my birthday. The venue is absolutely stunning. The atmosphere and jazz band were amazing. Their wine list is extensive and expensive. We ordered a bottle of Morgon beaujolais, which is one of my favourite wines.
However, the food was a massive letdown. I had the scallop to start. Absolutely tasteless! Hubby had the tuna, which was nice but nothing special. We ordered a side of tomato salad, which was nice, but there was absolutely no seasoning on it. This is sacrilege. Tomatoes must have salt!
We shared the beef wellington. I prefer my own, I have to say. Not much beef inside, way more mushroom to beef ratio. The sides were cold on the plate, and the truffle mash was ice cold.  The red wine jus had split. When the waiter poured the sauce all over the plate, he really should have noticed that the sauce had split, but he was oblivious. When I mentioned the ice cold mash potato and veg, a manager came over and made a huge deal of bringing us more mash potatoes.
I am attaching photos. If you zoom into the beef wellington, you will see the split red wine sauce all over my plate. This put me off ordering desert as I couldn't take any more disappointment. Our bill was £300 including a £31 service charge.
Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed the environment, the music, the service, the wine. But the thing I was looking forward to most was the food, and I was so underwhelmed.

Had the pleasure of eating with a friend at The Lanesborough Grilll. We choosed the Festive Menu and were very happy with it, all the flavours were balanced and some surprising (definitely suggest to take the Hazelnut Brioche with the Chicken Terrine.)
We also took the Tomato Salad and Hash brown from the à la carte Menu which were both delicious.

The Service was attentive yet not too much and the live music definitely added some extra to the ambiance.

Will come back!

Every dish was made with great care and creativity — beautifully presented and full of flavor. The service was excellent and friendly, and the restaurant itself was stunning, with elegant lights and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. It was a dining experience I’ll always remember.

5 star service. A lovely dinner experience in a warm, relaxing down to earth atmosphere. Impressive blue/white Wedgwood decorations in the restaurant. Formally known as Celeste. Now English cuisine instead of French Cuisine. Very good quality.
We love to come back for a fifth time experience.

I celebrated my birthday at The Lanesborough Grill and had a truly wonderful experience. The food was exceptional – every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The restaurant’s decor is elegant and luxurious, making it a perfect place for a special occasion.

The service was outstanding from start to finish. All the staff were professional, attentive, and warm. I’d like to especially thank Mike, who stood out with his friendliness and genuine service mind – he made our evening even more memorable.

We will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

All our products in our main kitchen (different kitchen from Celeste restaurant) are Halal, therefore there is no worry of cross-contamination. In our Celeste kitchen, at the moment we do not have any Halal offering. This is because we have approached game season (which we have in our menu). When Celeste does offer Halal options, then there is no cross-contamination. All our non-Halal products are stored separate from the Halal ones.

From the moment you step through the door, to the moment you walk out, it is an absoloute pleasure to experience the finest Indian food at Jamavar! ✨ .
This is officially the best restaurant we’ve visited (and we’ve been to numerous places!) You can clearly distinguish between a michelin star restaurant and a normal ‘fine dining’ restaurant. From the service to the settings, every little detail was perfect.
.
For starters, we opted for the Scallops Bhel and the Vegetable Samosas. The pastry on the Samosas was lusciously flakey, and the Scallops were seasoned to perfection. The Bhel was spicy and complimented the Scallops brilliantly. We also asked for the Adraki Lamb Chops... the best we’ve had! Cooked medium with slightly burnt crunchy edges 🤤For mains, we ordered the Butter Chicken (not pictured) and Jheenga Moilee, which tasted amazing with both the Garlic Naan and the Pilau Rice. 
Service: the best. Our waiter constantly made sure we had everything we needed, we were given the best table at the restaurant (as we went for a special birthday meal) and the manager came especially to check we were having a great time! .

P.s we found it hilarious that there was an item called ‘Jalebi Caviar’ on the menu that turned out to be a really nice Laddoo with Saffron Milk 😂 (South-East Asian folks can relate) 🌚

Settings: 10/10

One of the most asked question is people looking for a place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. My answer is always @jamavarlondon who do one of the best things I've EVER eaten. .

The stone bass tikka with 🥑 Chutney.. It's just amazing. (it's fish in case you didn't know 😊) .

@halalfoodguy's review of Jamavar Mayfair on Instagram

Jamavar

Jamavar offers an elegant yet welcoming dining room, with stylish interiors, warm lighting and a relaxed buzz that feels ideal for both intimate dinners and small gatherings.  The atmosphere feels luxurious without being stuffy, and the location in Mayfair makes the experience feel truly special from the moment you arrive. Service at Jamavar is polished and professional, and the team is attentive without being intrusive, happy to explain dishes and guide you through the menu.  On our visit, Khadak Singh looked after us with exceptional care, ensuring we were comfortable throughout and that every detail of our meal was perfectly timed. Khadak Singh’s kind, personable manner made us feel truly looked after and added a personal touch to what was already an excellent dining experience.
The restaurant host, Karishma, also genuinely elevated our evening with her warmth and professionalism. She welcomed us with a smile, checked in at just the right moments.

We ordered the lobster idli sambar and stone bass tikka for starters, followed by the laal Maas, and finally the pistachio milk cake for dessert. We also got cocktails to accompany the meal, the royal blush was my personal favourite. Service was personal and fast, and the ambience was unmatched. As for the food, I believe the Michelin star alone does not do the restaurant justice as Jamavar goes above and beyond with the flavours it puts on your plate

3/5 Stars overall 2 or even 1 star for service : Excellent Food, Disappointing Service Pace and repeated interuptions
​The ambience is lovely and the food is excellent, truly deserving of the Michelin star. However, the service significantly impacted our experience.
​We were repeatedly and annoyingly interrupted during our 7 pm business dinner by staff pressuring us to order the next course, citing the two-hour table limit. We knew this but then interrupting and not delivering was quite annoying. They were initially slow with drinks, but then aggressively rushed us through the meal, which felt unwelcome and unprofessional. Furthermore, the staff seemed disorganized: they missed one guest's starter and forgot my dessert totally, requiring multiple reminders. But still they kept saying "the table is booked for two hours sir" even after it was there fault to deliver correct orders... The restaurant was empty after 9.30 so not sure what they wanted...looked like the staff wanted to go home more than anything... Was wondering who would book a Michelin star restaurant after 9.30 pm (even they want a second round per table) if they want to enjoy a Michelin star experience... Bad service... The mango lassi wasnt great as well other food and desert especially the gajrela and the rasmalai were very tasty.
​Great food, but the inconsistent and rushed service needs immediate attention to match the quality of the cuisine and the price point.

This place is gold, the food is beyond amazing, service is top notch and atmosphere is excellent.

I took my friend out for his birthday, and Jamavar did not disappoint. The chicken croquettes were out of this world, And the garlic naan is to die for!! Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Our only concern is we don’t think we will enjoy Indian food anywhere else haha..

I loved the staff and I also liked the ambience but this is very disappointing to say that the food isn’t upto the mark. We ordered Aloo tikki which was average but the Laal maans was below average. It was nothing like Rajasthani Laal maans. This is something I’d definitely not recommend to anyone to try. And would request the chef to please bring something authentic. The food is average for the price they’re charging.

Chicken and lamb is halal. Pork and alcohol present.

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!
