.
Visited this place few weeks back to try this place out for their French Toast however they ran out by the time I went. So just decided to try out few other dishes that caught my eye.
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Chicken Katsu Sando (£15)
🔳 Scrambled Eggs and Mushroom Toast (£12)
🔳 Blueberry Pancake (£14)
.
Chicken Katsu Sando which when it arrived looked like dry and over cooked chicken, turned out to be juicy and tender chicken. It was a delicious Sando. For a thick thick thick thigh piece, it was defo cooked to perfection. Enjoy this 🤤
.
The half scrambled eggs and half mushroom toast was decent. The eggs needed seasoning but if mixed with the mushrooms, it was defo a good tasty breakfast dish
.
The blueberry pancakes wasn’t to my liking. The pancake itself was nicely cooked and wasn’t the problem. I can’t do fruity with pancakes and French toast. I would’ve enjoyed it with probably a sweet chocolate or just maple syrup. This is probably for those who like fruity dessert lol
.
All in all defo a spot I have to go back as I wanted their french toast more than anything. I would defo order the chicken Sando 
.
- Chicken Is Halal

@halalhunt's review of TAB X TAB Bayswater on Instagram

TAB X TAB

This place has delicious, thoughtful food. The scrambled eggs and creamy mushroom on toast was delightful. Very rich. The presentation was off the charts. Beautiful with these small chopped chives over the scrambled egg.  Their pour over coffee is delicious as well. It was brewed right with a small glass container with ground beans for you to smell prior to enjoying the coffee. They seem to place a lot of emphasis on coffee bean quality as well as they give a card citing the origin of the beans and how they were prepared. Highly recommend to someone looking for a good cup of coffee. My mom got the poached eggs on sourdough with the rocket salad on top. The salad was delicious as were the tomatoes. The cheese was too salty for us but enjoyed with the avocado and sourdough it might be tolerable for other people. Overall a great experience and would recommend to anyone in the area.

After walking around for 30 minutes trying to find a place for breakfast we stumbled across tab x tab. And so glad we did. The staff are so friendly and happy to serve. The food was great everyone enjoyed it and they had a good selection of vegan options and different milks. My only feedback is it took a long time between coffee and food to arrive. But will be back for sure

Amazing food and good vibe!

They cater for different dietary needs. Gluten free toast is one of the best in London, so cripsy😋

A big shout to Jessica who is an absoute star💕 I was so dumb that I didn't mention my wheat allergy, and assuming there's no toast in the breakfast... When the food arrived I knew I made a mistake... Jessica kindly changed the food for me🥲 I feel so sorry but Jessica is very kind💯

Tab X Tab is a charming spot for brunch with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed perfectly cooked eggs benedict, fluffy French toast, and a grilled halloumi dish with poached egg, rocket, tomato, and sourdough. A selection of pastries rounded out the meal, and our gracious waitress handled our lively kids with kindness. The food arrived quickly, the setting was cozy yet lively, and next time I will be back to try the avocado toast. Highly recommended.

Always looking for great breakfast and coffee shops! This place is a really good coffee shop and has a nice menu with good food and pastries. I had the Benedict Royale- and it was quite good! Portion sizes were healthy. My son had the banana pancakes and was pleasantly surprised.
In a sea of exquisite cafes TAB X TAB is well worth the trip.

Eat Tokyo (Notting Hill Gate)

Popped into Eat Tokyo in Notting Hill Gate for dinner, curious about its Japanese roots. It was a solid meal, worth a try. We ordered Sushi A, udon noodles, Tempura Ebi (shrimp), and some draught beers. The Sushi A was fresh and well-prepared, definitely decent for London. The udon noodles came with a warm, tasty broth, and the Tempura Ebi was crispy and light.

The menu’s massive, packed with options, which is great if you’re into variety, though it can take a minute to sift through. The staff were friendly and kept things running smoothly, and the place had a chill, laid-back vibe that made it easy to relax. The draught beers were cold and paired nicely with the food.

Overall, it was a good spot for a Japanese meal, and the prices felt fair for what we got. I’d swing by again if I’m in Notting Hill and craving sushi or tempura.

Very authentic, tasty and great service. Portions were big and affordable. Less than £56 for everything including multiple alcoholic drinks and hot sake!

As an Eat Tokyo enjoyer, I know exactly what I’m signing up for when I go to their branch.

The staff is polite, the service is quick and the food is always amazing, although overall I prefer the restaurant from Hammersmith.

The only thing I’d recommend is that the restaurant would be heated up a bit more, especially during the cold season. We were there last week and it was so cold I couldn’t take my jacket off.

A bit of a warmer room temperature would positively contribute towards the general experience, besides that everything is good!

Delicious food!! Really really good.

The value for money is a winner here. Amazing prices for the great quality you get.

The service is great, yes. But, if you’re served by the Japanese staff.

Food was delicious and very fresh! Filling and flavorful. Food on the menu is shown with a photo and code but its better to not use the codes to avoid confusion with the waiters.
The place feels very authentic, the waiters even wore traditional clothing inc shoes. The service is fast too.

Our chicken is Halal and we do not use alcohol in the preparation of our sushi rice.

Eat Tokyo

Duck & Noodle

Food- the portion is quite small. The taste was fine - nothing extraordinary. I had to pay £4.80 extra for chilli sauce!!!

Service- inattentive and curt. They include a compulsory service charge of 10%!

Atmosphere- the restaurant was busy and clean.

Duck & Noodle seems like a good choice, especially for those seeking exceptional roast duck or halal Chinese cuisine. However, be aware of potentially mixed reviews on other dishes and service.  Yeah, the roast duck is really delicious, the skin is roasted crispy and the filling is soft. But, the soy sauce is too salty. If you're an Asian person whose portion size is medium and small, each of their dishes can be shared for two people to eat.

Here are some additional tips for finding more information:

Check out their social media pages (if they have any) for updates and customer feedback.
Look for reviews on smaller, more local London restaurant review websites.
Consider reaching out to the restaurant directly to inquire about their menu and service.
I hope this helps!

*Reply to owner/management*
1. The cross-contamination occurred when the staff wearing yellow gloves went from the washing sink to place some items in it, then touched the plate with his thumb touching the sauce surrounding steamed sea bass. Then brought the dish out of the kitchen. Placed it onto the counter where the other roasted meats were hanged at. Then someone else without gloves bringing it back to the kitchen. Then another staff bringing that same dish out of the kitchen. A kitchen requires a preparation station/washing station/ a serving station to be separated. The staff wearing the yellow gloves touching the washing sink and then touching the plate and dish IS cross contamination. Once the dish has left the kitchen, it shouldn’t be returned back and then brought out again.

2. Initially, my brother left an honest (and continued) review to be as accurate. Check his first review/comment: he said it was not an authentic chinese restaurant/ experience. He has the right as someone who dined there to leave a review of their experience. All 4 of us had an unpleasant experience, but my brother decided to be more vocal and for the first time left a review because of how upset he was - as he was the one who was eager to dine here out of all of us. And he did not leave a racist comment. He merely commented on the ethnicity to prove that he was present as you insinuated that he did not exist in your reply. He (and myself) is half asian himself so please do not twist the chain of events.

3. Yes, dissatisfaction of the food can be improved once you accept the lower starred reviews. That is the whole point. How did I take it to the next level to tarnish your business? You claimed my brother’s review is biased and lame - and again, insinuated he did not exist. Is this the best way to handle negative but honest reviews from your customers? Surely you can do better.

4. Are you implying that it’s “safe enough” and we are merely making a fuss? No. I stopped eating completely once I saw the cross contamination. However, out of pure courtesy and politeness the rest of my family decided to continue to eat as it is food at the end of the day, and there are people who do not have food to eat. So, just because they have that level of good character, they are unreasonable to choose to stay and eat?

5. Sure, to be a successful business owner one should consider all types of reviews; good and bad. Good to encourage the business and the bad ones, to learn reflect and improve. However, calling all the negative reviews as biased (my brother’s comment was not the only one that you replied in this manner) is distasteful. To continue bullying and attacking my brother as non-existent shows others how you handle your business. Do better.

Staff were extremely unprofessional and did not follow hygienic measures; cross contamination between staff and location was dangerous and appalling. Waitress had no idea what was on the menu but tried her best.

Dined here during my postgraduate graduation ceremony visit in London (dated 12Jan2024 at 12.45 -1.50pm). Food was not cooked properly (steamed ginger and soy fish had no ginger, ginger and spring onion beef had ginger but was 80% onion and bland like plain corn starch), unhygienic staff and fish was not fresh.

The owner/management will claim the review is “biased or fake” if they disagree with it, or unless you give a positive review.

I wanted to ignore and not entertain by leaving a review but them leaving rude remarks for my brother who dined with myself and my parents that left an honest and as accurate review to warn others - was not acceptable.

This used to be a place we enjoyed dining at years ago but I suppose it may have been a different owner/management. It used to be a great place to dine with delicious food. Now, we’ve got unprofessional staff and service that give condescending remarks to reviewers who rate them 1 star (see review below me where they claim that the “hairy chicken was due to the ginger”). Really? Where was my ginger in my steamed ginger and soy seabass?

Absolutely delicious! I am really happy I found this place. I ordered half a pecking duck with pancakes which came with hoisin sauce, 2x prawn dumplings, crab flavour xiao long bao and BBQ chicken buns. I was blown away with how amazing the food was. Definitely comforting! The waitresses provided great service and were very friendly.  The atmosphere was awesome, loved the drawings across the walls. It was  such a shame I was too full to try more on the menu. Can't wait to return again.

Food looks amazing but tastes so average not worth the price at all! I've had better stir fry for much cheaper. Personally would not recommend it. Like that its Halal and there is a variety to choose from but just not for my taste.... I was so excited to eat here after getting recommended by my brother did not reach the expectations. They also added the 10% service charge that was not deserved managed to get it refunded.

Authentic, traditional Malaysian Restaurant

Normah's

Amazing and most delicious experience at Normah's. Hands down, THE BEST Malaysian food I ever had, not that I'm an expert. But it was delicious, so that all that counts. The portion sizes are generous just like at home. Mine and my friend's eyes couldn't decide what to get everything sounded so good on the menu. We've been wishing and dreaming of tasting Normah's cooking for ages now and we did not get disappointed. The service is extra welcoming and special, thank you. Even though you have to try your best to book and reservations close fast, I definitely recommend trying. We will be coming back for sure. Thank you so much for your cooking and hospitality 🙏🙏

Wow. Most of my experiences with Malay food is from an ex boyfriend… his mom used to make the most delicious Malaysian food and it’s the thing I miss most about the years I dated him. Normah’s has filled that nasi lemak hole in my heart.

Jokes aside, the service and food here are exceptional. Everything on the menu looked so good, and when other tables dishes were coming out we were sorry we hadn’t ordered more!

Will definitely be returning. Thank you all for a lovely meal!

I’ve not long come back from Normah’s after having a booking at 5pm.

I couldn’t even wait til tomorrow to write this review, the food was that good.

I wish aunty Normah all the best in this world and the next, may Allah bless you and your family.

It’s clear to see how hard aunty Normah works day in day out, and her nephew serving is very kind and helpful.

My son absolutely LOVED the food, as did we all. He just had to go and thank her personally.

There isn’t a single dish I wouldn’t recommend from all the dishes we tried.

We got:

Chicken wings and bites - so crispy and flavourful. Really juicy and tender as well!

Daal and roti - this is such a yummy and comforting dish, which just goes to show there is beauty in simplicity.

Prawn laksa - the best laksa I have ever had. It was extra flavourful from the prawn heads and had just the right kick.

Assam pedas sea bass - I loved this so much more than I thought I would. The sauce with the white rice was something I just couldn’t stop eating.

King prawn nasi goreng - again, perfectly balanced flavours, sweet, spicy, savoury. This was my husband’s favourite and he would’ve happily eaten a big plate of this alone.

Beef rendang with roti - this is incredibly rich and meaty, especially with the roti. I couldn’t eat a whole portion of this alone due to the richness, but this was a necessary addition to the spread and I would get it the next time and time after that!

Normah is a hidden gem serving truly authentic Malaysian food, run by a lovely Malaysian lady and her nephew who make you feel right at home. Reservations via Google are essential as seating is limited and the restaurant’s popularity speaks for itself. This is hands down the best Malaysian food I’ve had — every dish was packed with bold, rich flavors. I started with Normah’s Crispy Chicken Wings, perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection — an absolute must-order. The Curry Laksa King Prawn was exceptional, with fragrant coconut broth, plump king prawns, and all the classic toppings that make a proper laksa. To finish, the Roti Beef Rendang was out of this world — slow-braised beef that melts in your mouth, paired with flaky roti and layers of aromatic spices. If you’re after authentic Malaysian cuisine in London, Normah is unbeatable.

The best laksa we’ve ever had. It was an explosion of flavours. We’ve never had anything like it before. The restaurant is very cute and run by Normah and her nephew. He was very nice and attentive. We were very lucky because we managed to get a table without a reservation. The food is worth every penny and so much more. 10/10, even more than that.

Asian-fusion steakhouse with cave-style decor

Meet Bros (by Me’nate x Jibby&co.)

If you're looking for a amazing Halal steak restaurant in West London, then this is the place for you.
Incredible food,  beautiful decor and prompt friendly service.
We started with Calamari, which to be honest was not great, the outside was a bit overdone and inside was still a bit chewy.
But when we got to mains, we'd forgotten all about that, we both got Wagyu beef steak and this really hit the spot, as perfect as it gets.
Was accompanied by chips, watermelon juice but after the steak, the next best thing we had was the lychee mocktail.
All in all, a brilliant dining experience

Amazing food and service. We got served by Tahleel, great guy. Made us feel welcome and was really helpful and polite. The wait is quite long but granted it was a Saturday and there’s a seating area for you to wait until your table is ready. Would recommend you book a table in advance otherwise you’ll most likely get sent away, it’s that busy and we weren’t surprised as to why as the food is great. Nonetheless, service was great, Food was cooked perfectly, great flavours, atmosphere was beautiful. We recommend getting the Sando’s and spring rolls for starters. Thank you to Tahleel and the Meet Bro’s team for making me and my partners evening delightful.

A very exceptional meal was had at Meet Bros.

The atmosphere and decor in the restaurant is very charming and enticing.

The servers are attentive and helpful.

Colouring activities were provided for the kids which is a huge plus.

The watermelon cooler was refreshing and very tasty but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t resent paying £12 for it (!)

The prawn and mantu starter was rich, acidic yet buttery at the same time. The texture of the buns was confusing, but in a good way. Crisp, but soft, with an almost donutty flavour. Would highly recommend.

The ribs were also perfectly cooked with a wonderful indescribable sauce. I just wish there was a touch more sauce.

The kids meals were good value, given that the chicken goujons were made in house instead of shop bought frozen chicken nuggets. One of the kids needed more sauce, but again, slightly resented being told that the extra sauce would come at an additional cost?

The steak was very tender and well cooked though a touch bland. I think perhaps we were served  the non marinated steak by mistake. Nonetheless, it was clearly a good cut of meat so credit where credit is due.

The burger was also very tasty though a bit on the small side. I was perhaps expecting a slightly taller, more gourmet, burger. But the flavour profile was great.

It would have been nice to have sides included with the mains, given how sad the steak and ribs look sitting on the plate on their own. That would really round off the whole meal presentation wise.

From start to finish, our experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. We arrived without a reservation and, despite how busy it was, we were warmly welcomed and seated within just 15 minutes. That alone already set a positive tone for the evening.

We began with starters of spring rolls and ribeye beef. Both were perfectly prepared — the spring rolls were crisp, golden, and packed with flavour, while the ribeye beef was tender and rich, cooked exactly how it should be. Moving on to mains, we chose the fillet mignon and the Asian-style carbonara. The fillet mignon was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, bursting with flavour in every bite, and the carbonara was a creative twist on a classic — beautifully balanced with a unique Asian flair that worked incredibly well.

For dessert, we indulged in the pineapple turnover and the baked apple filo pastry. They were both heavenly — light, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. You could really taste the thought and effort put into each dish from start to finish.

The décor added so much to the experience too. Modern, stylish, and atmospheric, it gave the restaurant such a warm and inviting feel.

A special mention must go to our waiter, Tahleel. His service was outstanding — attentive without ever being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and made the whole evening even more enjoyable.

This restaurant truly ticks every box: fantastic food, beautiful surroundings, and first-class service. It’s rare to find a place that excels in all three, but this one does it effortlessly. We will most definitely be back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

A Hidden Gem Underground – Fully Halal & Truly Memorable

This place is an underground hidden gem, offering a fully halal menu with an impressive range of options. The facilities are fantastic, including convenient prayer rooms, and the traditional rustic decor downstairs adds a warm, authentic charm.

The food was absolutely sublime — rich in flavour and beautifully presented — and the service was equally outstanding. Everything arrived promptly, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.

Parking is available on-site, and it’s free on Sundays — a great bonus. We were genuinely impressed and will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended!

KFC London

bad, steer clear. little salad and dressing. chicken was dry. ordered loaded fries, got ordinary. tasted old oil on the potato. thumbs down

I wouldn't bother writing this review if not for the fact that I just had fries made of rotten potatoes. You read that right. The part of the food was rotten.

On this occasion, I will say a word about the hygiene standards. I fail to understand how this place received a rating of 5.

The guy making food left the kitchen and went outside to talk on the phone. He came back and went back to work. Washing hands? Who cares.

We waited for our order for over 25 minutes, and by the time it was complete, the food was partially cold.

The only positive thing about our visit was the girl behind the counter, Lucky, so kudos to her for sharing a smile and being overall friendly.

I will never eat KFC again.

The store was neat and tidy.
Taste was awesome
I really loved it.
Friendly service.
I just love the food 😋

Started eating my chicken only to realise it’s got fly eggs/maggots on it. Absolutely disgusting.

The staff on shift were really friendly. :)

This branch looked a bit understaffed (they should probably hire more people), but the people working this evening were still moving quickly and getting orders ready fast. (Also, got one extra chicken. Thanks!)

In our KFC Halal restaurants we do not handle any pork ingredients, and all the food and drink items served in these restaurants are approved by the Halal Food Authority. This ensures the very best Halal food standards but does mean that certain menu items and limited time offers may not be available.

Another key consideration for us was that we were able to ensure that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards we employ in the UK, and we consulted leading animal welfare groups about this.

There is no compromise to our welfare standards. We continue to insist that our poultry is stunned before slaughter, using a technique called 'stun-to-stun'. We only buy high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, who are contractually required to meet or exceed all relevant UK and EU legislation and this will not change.

Food: N ordered the Tower Burger and I ordered the Dirty Cheeseburger. The chef was very generous with the chicken in both burgers 😍. They weren’t dry at all and the sauces in the burger complimented the chicken excellently. The Mac’n’Cheese Sticks were deep-fried sticks of goodness 👅 and the fries were as good as (if not better) than Mcdonalds! We can’t wait to come back for more!
Service: the staff made sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our food 👍🏽

@twopeasfoodies's review of Meat Liqour Bayswater on Instagram

Now that's what you call a tower burger. Epic chicken burger from @meatgram. Hard to get a good picture, the place is so dark. Had to use a light. 
I think it's the best place to go for a chicken burger. You can taste the different earthy herbs and spices in this crispy chicken burger.

Only the chicken is confirmed as halal.

Tag a mate that could take this down.

@halalfoodguy's review of Meat Liqour Bayswater on Instagram

MEATliquor Restaurant Queensway - Hyde Park

Wonderful en colourful place to get something to eat. We just arrived for a small holliday in London. Checked into the room (5:30 PM) and was able to get a reservation for 6:15 PM. When we arrived we were greeted and presented an available table. After ordering it was within a short time that we got to order our food. The burger we got (photo of 'Dead hippy burger') was very tasty and freshly made. We also ordered fries with the burger and those were the perfect amount of crisp and soft from the inside.

The only feedback I can give is that the volume of the music that was played was very loud. We weren't able to talk normally to each other without the occasional 'huh?!' after someone said something.

But overall a good experience.

Bowling Arena/Skating rink feel with 70s style rock music in the speakers.
Only visit if you don't mind the noise from the music and bowling alley etc.
Tried the cheeseburger w. hot fries, and it was really great!

Great spot for burgers and comfort food! The atmosphere is lively with fun decor and upbeat music. The staff are friendly and service is quick, even during busy times. Tried the chicken burger and cheese fries—delicious with generous portions. Prices are fair for the quality. It’s a perfect place for casual meals or drinks with friends. Highly recommend MEATliquor Queensway if you’re craving a tasty, energetic dining experience!

I had an amazing experience at Queensway Meat Liquor, and a huge part of that was thanks to Antony! From the moment we walked in, he was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and he gave great recommendations that did not disappoint.

The food, as always, was top-tier—juicy burgers, crispy fries, and cocktails that hit the spot. But what really stood out was Antony’s attentiveness and friendly attitude. He checked in just the right amount, making sure we were happy without being intrusive.

It’s rare to find service that genuinely enhances the dining experience, but Antony absolutely nailed it. If you’re heading to Queensway Meat Liquor, I highly recommend asking for him—you won’t be disappointed!

Will definitely be coming back. Thanks again, Antony!

My partner and have ordered from here a lot and on Sunday night we ordered through just eat. He got a burger salt and pepper fries and I ordered Tonkatsu fingers. Mine were just 4 pieces of dry chicken. Nothing at all on it and not even any separate sauce. They were £11.80 and never even got 5. The salt and pepper fries were completely devoid of seasoning.
Went to just eat to complain and have still not heard back from them after 24 hours.
Then to top it all off my partner noticed that at the bottom of the receipt there has been a discretionary 12.5% service charge?? For a home delivery!!

All of our chicken is Halal. Pork is on the menu and alcohol is served.

Traditional Persian cuisine with clay oven-baked bread in a bright and intimate restaurant.

Sadaf Restaurant (Garden)

This restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is spotless and welcoming, the staff are incredibly kind and attentive, and the management handles everything with a high level of professionalism. The food is outstanding—full of flavor and beautifully presented. I highly recommend visiting; it’s an experience you don’t want to miss. A wonderful choice for guests from all countries and cultures.

The dishes are served with exceptional attention to detail, truly showcasing the staff’s dedication and expertise, both in the kitchen and the dining area. Here, you can experience the authentic taste of Persian cuisine at its finest. The Iranian head chef masterfully balances each spice, ensuring that every bite is rich with flavor. The remarkable quality of the dishes clearly reflects the premium ingredients used in the kitchen. It’s evident that traditional recipes are followed with great care, setting this restaurant apart from others.

The warm and inviting atmosphere created the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening with my family. From the beautifully presented dishes to the cozy ambiance, everything came together seamlessly. We can’t wait to come back and relive this experience.

I met some old colleagues at Persian Restaurant, right across from High Street Kensington Tube Station.  We enjoyed the  sesame naan and salad, grilled lamb and chicken and it’s a great place for group gatherings – though it’s pricier than places in Bayswater.

Nice combination of low quality with the lowest customer service!

For the water, I ask for a bottle of water for one person, not for two!

As for the kashke bademejan it was too greasy it was 50% oil +50% abergen! It feels like you're eating oil with an aftertaste! Disastrous was under understatement for it!

I ordered chicken kebab with rice and OMG the most tasteless food in my life I mean just try to eat plain it tastes nothing I don't know how you made it but it's amazing that you can even ruin the basic taste of a poor chicken.

Their Naan was amazing and fresh. That was the only reasonable thing

Trust me you'd be better off somewhere else!

A fantastic restaurant with high quality, fresh, and delicious food, along with a friendly and professional team. All their appetizers, main courses, and desserts are amazing. I highly recommend visiting! And don’t forget to enjoy Iranian tea and dessert after your meal.

Persian cooking in a traditionally styled setting, plus a BYO drink policy.

Alounak (Bayswater)

Excellent food and friendly staff. Persian menu is rich with healthy choices. The decor is authentic Persian. The price is relatively to the high side.

Amazing experience went with family and we loved it. Great food and we loved our persian food experience. The kebabs were soft and succulent and the lamb curry with ladyfingers was outstanding. Great service a must visit for notting hill.

Had an amazing Persian meal at Alounak in Bayswater. The Chelow Kebab Koobideh was delicious. Big thanks to Lkhagva for the great service. Highly recommend!

Just been there, fantastic.
Recommended by a friend, I got mirza  ghassemi as starter and koobideh as main, upon suggestion by the very kind staff.
Everything was absolutely delicious, flavour was on spot and the lamb super juicy. Taftoon bread was the best I had so far, so good that I had to order 2! Meal completed with a refreshing faloodeh and nice glass of tea.
Really authentic place, with a lot of personality on both location itself and food.
I’ll be visiting it again for sure.

Had an amazing dinner at this Persian restaurant, the food, service and atmosphere were great .. if you’re looking for a nice place that serves grilled dishes from chicken and beef .. totally recommend them

Preto Queensway - Brazilian Steakhouse BBQ

Preto Queensway is such a great find! The location is really convenient, and the prices are surprisingly good for what you get. The whole dining concept makes it a fun and different experience compared to a normal restaurant — it’s basically an endless buffet of freshly cooked meats, brought straight to your table until you say you’ve had enough. It makes the meal feel lively and interactive, and you definitely get good value for money.

The food itself was lovely — tasty, well-prepared, and there’s plenty of variety so you don’t get bored. On top of that, the atmosphere was warm and full of good vibes, which made it even more enjoyable. The staff were great too: really friendly, attentive, and happy to explain how everything works if it’s your first time.

Practical stuff is covered as well — there are toilets on site and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, which makes it welcoming for everyone. All in all, it’s the kind of place you leave feeling full, happy, and already planning your next visit. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Everything was amazing.
Very nice food.
Cheerful vibes.
Very friendly and kind staff especially Marcia, she is amazing.
Excellent experience.
Highly recommended

The abóbora salad and the salpicao de frango were my favorite.
They are very friendly and courteous but sadly tue service needs improvement. I sat there my whole neal without a drink or even water. When i told the guy he said he forgot as they got busy. There was one person serving the meats and as i told him i prefer well done, he’d skip me, until i spoke to him in Portuguese. Then i ordered dessert and was sitting there waiting. Other servers would look at me wondering why i was still there but noone checked on me or gave me the check. 20 minutes later I tell them I was no longer waiting for the dessert and walked up to the cashiers to pay. Someone offered me the dessert for free but at this point I would rather not feel ignored during my whole time there.

Lovely Brazilian buffet with enough meat to feed a village. Happy to have halal options and friendly staff serving. Would come again for sure.

I was really disappointed with Preto. The whole experience felt very basic compared to other Brazilian steakhouses I’ve tried, especially in Dubai. The variety and quality of the meats weren’t great, and what really let it down for me was the lack of cinnamon pineapple, which is usually the highlight of a proper Brazilian rodízio. For the price, I expected so much more. Definitely not somewhere I’d rush back to.

We serve Halal options. Just ask for Halal when booking.

Banana Tree Westbourne Grove

I loved dining at Banana tree today. Me and my two other friends came for a get together and the service was amazing. Renuka was very accommodating and had such a friendly approach with us going above and beyond to make sure our experience was nice. The food was amazing. I ordered the spiced noodles and they were perfectly seasoned. We also got the dumplings, chicken wings and satay sticks and they were all tasty. The portion size was a nice generous amount. We also got the banana sticky rice which was also such a nice dessert.  Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice place for a meet up with good food.

Banana Tree has become my regular choice for lunch, and for good reason. The portions are always generous – more than enough to leave me satisfied, with leftovers quite often. My personal favourite is the Firecracker Bowl – it hits the perfect balance of spice and flavour, and the textures are always spot on. The rice, chicken, and veggies are consistently cooked well, and the dish feels both hearty and fresh.

I’ve tried a few other dishes from their menu as well, and they’ve all been reliably tasty – nothing ever feels rushed or bland. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better, especially when you’re popping in on a busy day.

Highly recommend if you’re after a filling, flavourful, and dependable meal.

(halal too!)

Went to banana tree with my nieces for casual dine at Westbourne grove branch, the food is always nice as usual and the service has always been top notch for me as i have visited few times. Mr Ronnie Rohit Hubbert was especially attentive and friendly also gave us their new soy sauce ice cream on the house as i was disappointed tht they have stopped doing my favourite desert the black rice pudding. Anyhow i still like visiting their for their food and 2for1 mocktail.

The waitress service was a bit haphazard due to lunch time busyness

I ordered the Sticky Korean wings which were tasty and not to miss.
Then I had prawn pad thai which was also delicious

I had a small bottle of sparkling water

Extremely disappointed. Found a snail in my meal, which is completely unacceptable. Shortly after consuming part of the food, I developed food poisoning, including severe vomiting. This raises serious concerns about the restaurant's hygiene standards and food safety practices. I do not recommend dining here.

All chicken and beef on our menu is Halal.

Banana Tree

Putera Puteri

Last month we went there for lunch. It was our first time trying Malaysian food!
It’s a small place, but they offer a good variety of dishes.
I’d love to try other dishes when I have the chance to come back :)

Anaqi was fantastic! I absolutely love his service and authenticity. His recommendations hit the spot and made our even spark just a bit more.

I love the food, very homely real taste. Massive portions, especially for London.

Will be brining everyone here!

This place is an absolute underrated authentic gem.

Honestly, as soon as I walked in everything about it was perfect. From the lovely welcoming staff to the peaceful & laid back atmosphere and the incredible authentic food. Everything was 10/10.

I ordered the roti with chicken curry to start 11/10
Filled by the Nasi lemak with fried chicken. I asked the staff about trying a little beef rendang and they very kindly added a generous amount to my dish at no extra charge.

On top of this, I had asked the staff about the tradition mini cakes they make and he very kindly gave me and my friend each a selection of 3 different kinds to try. He also gave us some extras to take home.

Such a perfect evening, with delicious authentic food and the loveliest staff. Guaranteed to have a nice experience if you come.

And extra thanks to the lovely guy who welcomed us in and served us. I Will be coming back for sure

Great vibes. Feel like being in Kuala Lumpur. Great service, very friendly staff. Food to be improved. Overall, recommended for any Malaysian who travel to London and staying at Hyde Park.

Authentic Malaysian Gem in Queensway!

We visited Putera Puteri in Queensway and were welcomed by the warmest and friendliest waiter — such a lovely start to the experience. The food? Absolutely incredible. We ordered Kway Teow, Curry Laksa, Roti Canai, and Nasi Lemak, finishing off with some perfectly crispy Goreng Pisang for dessert. Every dish was bursting with authentic Malaysian flavour — rich, spicy, and comforting, just like home.

The Teh Tarik was the cherry on top — so smooth and nostalgic. We even took a portion of the sambal home because it was that good! A must-visit for all my fellow Malaysians in London craving real taste and heartwarming hospitality. Will definitely be back!

Al Waha

Visited this gem of a restaurant for the first time last night. The food was simply delicious, such good vegetarian options, makes a nice change. I saw items never seen before in Lebanese restaurants in the UK. The grilled halloumi was so fresh and tasty, the best! What made it really special was the staff. Both gentleman who served me were friendly and attentive. One of whom served me a dish I hadn’t ordered, but let me have it complimentary with such kindness. Keep up the great work team, this is how you should run a local business!

Had a lovely lunch here over the weekend.
We ordered some mezze (they have a deal that allows you to order 3 for 25£ which is excellent!) and a mixed grill.
All the food was very good and flavourful! Service polite and fast.
I would definitely recommend and visit again.

Excellent food - each dish was prepared with great attention to details and bursting with flavor. Very friendly, welcoming and professional staff. Peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Great place for lunch. A must go.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and beautiful romantic music
Family owned restaurant with amazing food, great atmosphere and beautiful romantic music. Friendly staff. The creamiest and tastiest home-made lebneh which is a dream. Best prawns and lamb chops ever! We keep coming back every month because it is the best multi-sensory experience in London!

First time having Lebanese: it definitely set the standard!
I had dinner with a friend in October 2024 and tried many dishes. We  were both amazed by this delicious cuisine and we still think of it from time to time. The quality of food was high, service was perfect, coffee was very nice and the owner offered us a taste of baklava.

The staff of this restaurant has verbally confirmed halal status.

Cheatmeals Notting Hill Gate

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.

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!

I ordered british beef burger and 6 wings through deliveroo. The burger was alright but the wings were not cooked properly. They were too tough and not tender. I am extremely disappointed.

Chef using hands without gloves same hand use for take pickle and same hand for salad then same hand for take bund no gloves surprise also food was frozen not fresh v v v sad and disgusting i was v hungry but food poor never try anyone waste of money

Very delicious burger Wow! If you want an excellent hamburger, you cannot miss with this! One of the best hamburgers I've ever eaten in my life!

Cheatmeals

Tukdin

It was my first time having Malaysian food. It was absolutely amazing, the flavours were really powerful and I especially loved the salted egg chicken. The service was really good: friendly and knowledgeable staff, I also loved the milo iced drink and condensed milk iced tea. Would definitely go again and try other options on the menu.

Really great neighborhood restaurant if you’re craving authentic Malaysian food. All the dishes we ordered were solid and we can’t wait to come back to try more dishes. Really liked the noodle dish as well as the peanut sauce with vegetables and fried tofu. Only thing that could’ve been better would be the roti canai and was a bit on the pricier side (came out to £82 for the two of us) but otherwise a great dining experience!

Been to this place a few times now, and never disappointed. The dishes were authentic, delicious, and came in big portions. Very good value for the price for sure. Absolutely loved their oxtails soup, and their weekend special - Nasi Ayam was really nice as well. Will definitely come back for more soon.

The food is ok but it's the menu is misleading.
So I ordered spicy beef curry with 2 roti (flat bread).
Beef was very nicely made but not spicy I understand spice levels can be subjective so I don't mind that but when it came to roti. I asked the waiter if it's an Indian styles roti and he said it's small in size and flat bread so yes, but when it came it was a frozen paratha 😭 I called the waiter and said is this your roti and he said yes this is roti.
For those who don't know frozen paratha is a pastry it's like ordering beef wellington and getting beef pie.
So I didn't make a fuss and started eating but the roti (paratha) was so small and I ran out so I asked for some boiled rice so I got them eating as much as I could and asked the waiter for it to be packed so the waiter just left a box on the table and walked off I had to ask him to pack the food which he than took the kitchen and packaged it.
So time for bill I was really surprised to see the bill of £42 I don't exactly remember the price of each item with the paratha ruined it for me and it felt like the most expensive meal I had in London.
Also I really don't understand why restaurants add in 10% service charge and than ask for tips on top and don't even want to pack your food for you.
I doubt I will be going back but I think they should fix their menu to show exactly what you are getting.

My 1st visit here during my 1st vacation in london. Recommended by one of the Malaysian we met during our holiday.

Delicious food selection. Asian and Malaysian lovers should come here. Recommended. Lovely service by the staff. Have place for prayer. However I suggest you should book and reserve table earlier since this restaurant always full with customers and a little crowded. But worth the wait hehe.

Mawi Cafe

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The iced coffee was fine, but the lox bagel felt a bit too simple for the price. Maybe I’m just used to NY–style bagels, but for me it seemed a little overpriced. 11.94💷

Love this place – good coffee, really nice and cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, great place to work with WiFi! A good escape from a busy street.

This cafe is a haven! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm aroma of fresh-baked goods and the inviting hum of conversation. The music creates a perfect ambiance for relaxing, catching up with friends, or even getting some work done.

They offer a surprisingly wide selection of food for a cafe, and the quality is top-notch. I had the toasted bagel with eggs and avocado, and it was delicious. The omelette was perfectly cooked, and the crispy bagel added a great textural contrast. My flat white was excellent – you could really taste the coffee (no burnt beans here!).

My partner, who has a sweet tooth, loved the blueberry bread but with salted butter (got it at home).

Beyond the delicious food and drinks, the staff truly shines. They're friendly and welcoming, and it seems they know many regulars by name and their preferences. It creates a warm and familiar atmosphere.

I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend this cafe!

Pro tip: If you visit in the morning, they have a special offer on coffee and treats for takeaways!

Great place for studying, great wifi, staff is very friendly.  No weird rules, just vibes. This could be my go to but the matcha is just okay.. I wish they cut down the drinks selection to only the best ones, and have more unique selection for their pastries.

I love this cafe so much. I come here very often. It’s such a chill and cozy cafe. I usually get a coffee and a sweet treat, but trying out their Caesar sandwich revolutionised my world hahaha. I can’t recommend this place enough, wifi is also free

Uzbek Corner

Amazing hole-in-the wall gem with wonderful staff—they treat you like family. Very kindly accomodated our group of two families, made excellent menu suggestions, and provided lots of commentary on the foods, as it was all of our first time enjoying Uzbek cuisine. The food was amazing! We will definitely return.

Such an unassuming place when you walk in, but we were kindly greeted and given a table. This was our first introduction to Uzbek cuisine and it was absolutely incredible. Exactly what I love about food, simple, pure ingredients, freshly prepared.

After an awful 11 hour travel day this place felt like a welcome home. Whenever I will be in London again, save a table for me!

Very nice place, such a tasty food. Service is amazing as well. You will not regret coming.

Very kind and hospitable hosts, who serve declious home made Uzbek food. Would recommend and would go again! They also accept card payments.

Tried Uzbek Corner in London and loved it! I had Noxat Shurva, Plov, and Qoson Kabob—all delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, not too strong, but perfectly blended.

The place feels like a slice of Uzbekistan, and the staff were super friendly. I’ll definitely be back to try their Manti (Uzbek dumplings)!

Highly recommend for authentic Uzbek food in London!

Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

Nando's Bayswater

This place is busy! And you can tell why. Great food. I came for dinner and it took thirty minutes from the time I entered to when I was eating my food. It wasn't piping hot when it came out but it was still great. For sure an amazing staple in London.

Great spot in Bayswater for a peri peri fix! The chicken was cooked with that perfect Nando’s kick. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome, which added to the experience. Atmosphere is lively and the location is very convenient.

Only downside was that service got a bit slow when it was busy, and it is quite a small space so there may be a long wait also when my food arrived, it was just warm. It wasn’t that hot adventurous taste. Still, overall a very solid Nando’s would definitely come back!

Worst Nando’s to go to in London. Very awkward place too. Visited with my family yesterday 13/07/2025 6:52pm for our weekly dinner out. However, it was a really bad experience. My mum and my stepdad ordered through the till attended by a manager named ‘George’. They simply wanted to order and pay separately to earn points on (each) of their Nando’s account. First order went well but  ‘George’ the manager wasn’t happy to give points to the second order and proceeded with the transaction. My stepdad wasn’t happy about this so he asked if he can get his points. ‘George’ then said he will refund the money. When my stepdad asked if the original order will be put through while doing the refund, ‘George’ rudely said NO. George was then adamant that my stepdad takes the refund and basically telling us to go. My stepdad was really upset and ‘George’ was becoming agitated and aggressive towards him. This went on for 5 minutes and George was embarrassing my stepdad in front of a lot of people making him look like a fool. We then moved on without the points given. ‘George’ was also rushing my mum and stepdad to make their order prior to this situation.  After eating, we asked the host respectfully to call the store manager. However, the host told us to go call him ourselves… ??? We were stunned about this type of attitude. We have been going to Nando’s almost every week and we never experienced this at all in other stores. Food was as expected but the customer service was NOT Nando’s standards at all. They didn’t even come to apologise to us for the inconvenience that they caused. We didn’t get any check backs throughout our meal and they even got the order wrong!!

We went there for dinner, during peak time so you need to wait for table like 10-20mins, food comes after around 20 mins but worth it!! Staff was very nice.

Amazing customer service - with special thanks to Maria and the manager (forgot to ask for his name). I made a mistake with my online order and they went above and beyond in helping me to resolve it, they were fantastic in assisting and dealt with it in a very friendly and kind manner. Would recommend just for the brilliant and warm customer service alone, thank you!

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

Nando's

Everything on our menu is Halal. We don't serve any pork or alcohol but we do operate a BYOB policy.
