Regents Park Station

Acacus Libyan Restaurant

The first time I tried Libyan food, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was decent. However, the food was not fresh and tasted preheated. I don’t think I will visit this restaurant again. But if you’ve never tried Libyan food before, it might be worth giving it a chance.

Going to this restaurant reminded me of my childhood. Ordered couscous Libyan (wedding style) with Coke. The lamb gravy was so flavourful that it made the cous cous even more tasty. The chick pea and vegetables in the lamb gravy blended in so well with the lamb which was cooked perfectly making it easy to eat from the bone. Ahmed (if I remember right) suggested this dish and made sure that the dish is accompanied with the crushed chilli to enhance the taste. The overall ambience was good, the dish was perfect and service was well appreciated. Highly recommend

A good lunchtime meal with excellent, professional service. I wasn’t overly adventurous with my choices but the dishes were pleasant. Particularly liked the gratuitous starter. The fresh orange juice was tasty. Lunch in total came to £24 which was very reasonable. Was quiet when I was there but the music was ambient which made for an atmosphere. Was very clean but had a whiff of shisha smell to the establishment as you might expect.

I was looking forward to coming to this restaurant for so long and when I got here I was not disappointed.

Food tasted great!, perhaps some dishes were different to they would taste back home but still absolutely worth it and I would highly recommend visiting the restaurant and trying some authentic and delicious Libyan food.

We tried Sharba, which is a libyan classic, we also tried the Ossban which was delicious just wish it was a little more spicy. Then we tried Embakbka which is a must. Lastly we tried Cous Cous wedding style which was the cherry on top.

Finally we concluded our visit with some Libyan tea to help digest it all this deliciousness

Authentic Flavors and Perfectly Grilled Dishes!

From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warmth and the comforting aroma of home-cooked food. The grilled dishes are the stars here—juicy, smoky, and cooked to perfection. Whether it's lamb chops, grilled chicken, or kofta, each bite is full of flavor and clearly made with care.

The homemade dishes are equally impressive. You can tell they're made from scratch, just like a traditional family meal. The Reshda, Embakbaka, and couscous are beautifully spiced and full of depth. Even the sides—like rice, fresh salad, and warm flatbreads—are done right.

The portions are generous, the presentation is lovely, and everything tastes authentic. If you appreciate real food made with heart, this place delivers. Highly recommend for anyone who loves grill cuisine and homemade comfort dishes.

Madera at Treehouse London

Beautiful Views, Fresh Food, and a Relaxing Atmosphere

We visited for breakfast around 10:15 a.m., primarily booking for the stunning views—and they did not disappoint! The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet when we arrived, making it the perfect spot to relax.

The food was incredibly fresh and filling. We enjoyed fresh orange juice, warm pastries, a delicious salmon bagel, waffles, and an avocado and egg dish. Everything tasted fantastic.

The restaurant started to get busy as we were leaving around 11:30 a.m., but it never felt overly crowded. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food and the incredible views you get. Highly recommend for a lovely breakfast experience!

Loved my visit to Madera at Treehouse London! The space is bright and stylish with a fantastic view over the city — perfect for a sunny brunch or evening cocktails.

The drinks were fresh and beautifully presented, and the food was vibrant and full of flavour. Everything looked as good as it tasted!

It’s a bit on the pricier side, but worth it for the atmosphere and the whole experience. Great spot if you’re looking for something fun and different in London. Highly recommend!

The food is 2.5/3 I’m afraid.  The venue and service are 5 plus, and the view - especially with the sun setting is stunning! It’s a lovely and classy place to go, it was actually a friend’s bday.  So we ordered our food, it ranged from ok to not that great.  Such a letdown.

The calamari, nachos and guacamole were good as starters/bites to share. But after that..

There was too much sauce in the chicken enchiladas dish… you can see it was drowning in it and the balance is out.

The chicken fajita bowl was nice enough and same with the taqueria chicken mixiote. And the bday girl in question enjoyed her portobello mushroom “Rocks” dish.

Unfortunately, I asked for medium for my Carne “Rocks” dish and since it came out on a sizzling hot platter, it arrived well done. I did complain and the manager was very polite and friendly about it and offered good recompense. The little bowl with a tiny amount of rice, peppers and beans is far too miserly for the cost of the dish.

Hopefully, they will improve the food, as it’s a shame the food doesn’t match up to the surroundings. It was an experience and that’s part of the allure I would imagine.

This is a beautiful restaurant. The service, atmosphere, and views are wonderful. We went for drinks and a few small dishes and to be honest for that it was a very expensive pit stop. The best thing we ate were the tacos, the cocktails were fab and the views were lovely!

A true hidden gem in the heart of London! This place is simply stunning, with breathtaking views that set the perfect backdrop. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and undeniably romantic—ideal for a special night out.

The food was good. Well-prepared, full of flavor, and just what you’d hope for in a spot like this. It’s one of those rare finds that feels like a secret worth sharing. Definitely a must-visit!

Hot, fiery, mouthwatering Asian-fusion in Fitrovia 🍛

Foley’s was such a pleasant surprise, we came across this restaurant as we were nearby and saw that it served up some of our favourite dishes- Green Curry and Laksa. These guys have absolutely nailed the green curry here: it’s hot, spicy, mouthwatering, sweet, creamy, all at the same time! This was definitely one of the best if not the best green curry we’ve had in London. As for the chicken laksa,  this was also delicious, again these guys are not scared to turn up the heat with their dishes and this will definitely tingle your taste buds! We did also order some Panko prawns as a starter which were mediocre but everything else was so good we completely forgot about it!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Foley's Fitzrovia on Instagram

Foley's

What a delightful hidden gem! This cozy Thai restaurant in Foley offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal. The food is absolutely excellent—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive. Manager Adnan was incredibly kind and welcoming; he made sure we were well taken care of from the moment we walked in. His attention to detail and hospitality truly made our experience special. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Thai food and a friendly, charming setting!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at **Foley’s in Fitzrovia**, and it was an experience we’ll happily remember. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly, and the evening left us wanting to return soon.

One of the first things that stood out was the **speed and precision of service**. Our food arrived quickly, yet without sacrificing quality or presentation. I ordered the **Couscous salad**, which was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully balanced. The textures worked perfectly together, making it a light but satisfying choice. My wife opted for the **Prawns Pad Thai**, and it was equally impressive — generous portions of prawns, cooked to perfection, with just the right mix of flavor and spice. Both dishes were prepared with care and presented in a way that felt inviting and refined.

The **staff were another highlight**. Attentive without being intrusive, they struck that ideal balance of friendliness and professionalism. They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, checking in at the right times and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Another pleasant surprise was the **value**. We discovered that by paying with **Eat Club**, we received a **35% discount** on the entire bill. This made an already excellent dining experience even better, and it’s a tip I’d recommend to anyone looking to enjoy quality food in central London without stretching the budget.

Overall, Foley’s combines great food, excellent service, and stylish atmosphere in one package. Whether you’re after a casual dinner for two or a place to enjoy with friends, it’s a spot worth checking out. With delicious dishes, a welcoming team, and the bonus of great value, Foley’s Fitzrovia is definitely a restaurant we’ll be returning to.

London's Hidden Gem! I am truly surprised as to how amazing this place was. The whole thing just was such a comfortable chilled out experience.

The most important thing was that the food was good, halal and reasonably priced. (Chicken and Beef halal only). There is an incredible variety of food. You can see the open kitchen prepare the food fresh by trained chefs.

Service was excellent, very attentive and not like fake happy, just chilled out and honest which is what you want. The time flew by as we were having such a great time. We felt relaxed.

Only criticism is the that green curry was too watery for my liking, definitely should be thicker and creamier. I like the innovativeness of the desserts and the creativeness.

I would definitely come here again and bring different group of friends.

Great location, just off Oxford Street. We got the ginger calamari, duck buns, rock shrimp and prawn dumplings. All were amazing but the shrimp and calamari definitely stood out. For mains we got the brisket curry and the tom yam prawn. Tom yam prawn was missing that deep flavour in the broth but the brisket curry was truly amazing. Egg fried rice good. We had a discount and our bill was about £55 which is reasonable.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Didn't catch the manager's name but assume from other reviews it's Adnan...
Genuinely funny, warming and endearing. Beef brisket curry was top notch. Will return as the service was so good and to try more... Dessert next time also.

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Baker Street

Best smash burgers. The rosemary chips were otherworldly. Their smash burger (order the double one) was so good. Edges crisped to perfection while still maintaining flavor. The person who served me was very kind. I ate here for dinner but I think they have a lunch promo. Overall a good place to catch a burger.

Delicious burgers!
The location is cozy and has ground+first seating. Service is polite and well informed.

The burgers we had were really good, and so was the coleslaw. I found the portions to be a bit unbalanced, with the burgers relatively small and the quantity of chips excessive.

They also offer Bluelight discount, with one card covering 4 people.

Good experience overall.

Service was very good.
I picked the lunch menu smash burger +1 patty. I was confident. Despite the quality bun and a good cheese, the patties were average. The smash is hard to nail. Next time I will pick a regular burger to confirm my review.
Other than that, the appetisers for 2 were very small and the halloumi was not good quality.
The fries were ok and the mint lemonade was great.

Holy cow....

Made a panic stop due to rain and was lucky enough to get a table for 3 at The Honest Burger on a Friday at 8pm.

Within minutes we were seated by our really friendly and welcoming waitress.

After carefully going through the entire menu, we ended up ordering The Chilli, The Tribute and The Beef burgers.

All menus are served with fries - without extra cost..... (not all is about profit 🥳).

Being really hungry, we decided to share a Rings and Wings - finger licking  chicken wings and crispy onion rings.

I really enjoyed the Botanic Garden cocktail and the Brooklyn Brewery pilsner was big and cold - just the way they should be.

I've had a lot of burgers - but The Tribute, was one of the best I ever had..... So juicy and really tasty.

So what are you waiting for. Come down a meet the lovely staff and enjoy the burgers, cocktails and of course the burgers. Yes I'm being honest 😂

One of my favourite places to get a good quality burger in London. 10/10

The food here is absolutely fantastic, with limited time menu items that change every couple months, often in collaboration with another food business with their product featuring in the burger. Additionally, the wings here are some of the best I have ever had, with so much flavour and crunch but not dry!

This particular location is pretty small and means during busy times there will be a more cramped experience. However, the service is amazing and I feel the smaller size takes very little away from the whole experience which is absolutely wonderful.

Staff were quick to sit us down and our waitress was so sweet. The service was just a 10/10.

I recommend this place to everyone to try once if they have the opportunity ❤️. Great to bring friends for a more casual lunch or even a great place for a second date.

All of the chicken in our restaurants is halal. If you would like to see our supplier’s halal certificate please ask your server when you arrive. Halal products are stored separately with strict processes in place to stop cross-contamination. Halal chicken items are handled with separate utensils and gloves. Fried halal chicken burgers and wings do not share fryers with any non-halal items. Grilled halal chicken breast burgers are cooked on a reserved area of the grill separated by a grill divider. We do not offer halal beef at any of our restaurants.

12 of our restaurants (full list below) offer a halal Buffalo fried chicken burger. We will be rolling this out to more restaurants in the near future so watch this space. You can find our Buffalo fried chicken burger at Bank, Cardiff, Finsbury Park, Liverpool St, Manchester, Portobello, Reading, South Kensington, Spitalfields, St Katherine Docks, Tooting and Watford.

Throw back to steak night Mexican 🇲🇽 style from one of the only few authentic Mexican restaurants in London @mestizorestaurant .

Menu has loads of options, proper stuff. Double check with what is halal as menus and suppliers can change without notice. But last time I went it was halal chicken and beef.

@halalfoodguy's review of Mestizo Euston on Instagram

Mestizo Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar

We had a lovely dinner here on a Saturday night with a couple of friends. All the staff were helpful, diligent and friendly. Our waiters Richard and Roger kindly explained what the best combinations of drinks and food would be and we left with a happy heart and a full belly. A dinner for four cost us £210 (incl service charge). We had the taco tray and the other sharing option, 2 bowls of guac and totopos, a bottle of red and a couple of cocktails. I recommend this place if you love Mexican food and tequila!

We walked in and had no idea what to order, but our server Richard suggested the Nachos and Queso Frito. The nachos are such a good price and big enough for two people to share! The food was a solid 10/10 and the service couldn’t have been better. My husband and I loved it, and it was such a delicious experience trying Mexican food in London for the first time. We will definitely come back ❤️

Mestizo was such a hidden gem to find, as a Latin American in London, the food tastes as authentic as it would in Mexico and it is very well priced. The service was outstanding, our server Harry made sure we were well looked after. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for Latin American food in London

Best Mexican restaurant we've been to in Lincoln, hands down. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lively, and the service was good. The taco tray was tasty and came in a decent portion. The margaritas were strong and flavourful. We'll definitely be back.

While I was impressed with the atmosphere and cocktails, I can’t even describe how bad the food is at this restaurant. I’m totally disappointed and wondering how poor Londoners’ taste is when it comes to Mexican food. It’s a shame you can’t find even a mediocre Mexican restaurant in London — the competition seems to be about who can be the worst!

All our meat is halal, except pork, of course, which is cooked separately.

Upscale Indian dishes from the southwest coast using fish and coconut

Trishna @trishnalondon is one of few halal Indian Michelin stared restaurants in London and has been on my list for a long time. They offer a decent lunch bites menu, where 2 dishes £19 per person, 3 for £24, 4 for £29 and 5 for £34. I ordered a total of 6 dishes which are the following, plus lamb chops from the la carte menu for £18.
Starters
Paneer tikka anardana [fried onion, mint, corn & pomegranate chat]
Punjabi vegetable samosa chat [chickpea masala, tamarind, sweet yoghurt]
Mains
Andhra lamb masala [curry leaf, coastal spices]
Moplah seafood biryani [seabass, shellfish, coriander, pink peppercorn raita]
Sides
Bread basket, basmati rice, Hyderabadi dal and wild mustard potatoes
Desserts
Gajar halwa [heritage carrot pudding, masala chai kulfi, cake]
Cardamom kheer [fig, raisin, pistachio, cardamom]

First of all, there was a lot of food and the portions where great, I was very pleased with the amount of food that arrived, I was very well fed and stuffed after lunch. I have to say I was expecting more for a Michelin stared restaurant, apart from the lamb chops nothing stood out or really made an impression. The lamb chops where very thick and very good, cooked well and Burnt on the outside not dry, and very juicy and moist inside infused with a tandoori flavour a very good piece of meat here. 
Venue wise, the space is small and similar to a cafe in shoreditch, I was expecting better from the decor and the service was rather average for a one star Michelin. Booking was required and we were shown to out table at 1.45pm straight away. I just felt the staff where slight unattentive. Each meal was introduced when brought to the table as standard by a restaurant with a Michelin Star. 
The total bill was under £70 which is very good considering it is a Michelin starred restaurant. However, after leaving I noticed that they charged me for 2 dishes per person and not 3. 😂😃 Full review will be posted on www.halalfoodguy.co.uk 
Chicken and lamb halal only.

@halalfoodguy's review of Trishna Marylebone on Instagram

Trishna

Excellent dining experience on my first trip to London! I had the summer tasting menu that’s available for lunch and early dinner, and it was the best Indian food I’ve ever had.

I ordered the quail appetizer, salmon appetizer, and eggplant curry main - all were outstanding and delicately spiced, with so many layers of flavor and textures. The mango cheesecake dessert was a wonderful end. I also felt welcomed as a solo diner which was appreciated.

We chose Trishna to celebrate my husband’s birthday and oh boy, it did not disappoint. They had a summer tasting menu which was a great way to try the different flavours. Very well deserved Michelin star ⭐

Beautiful restaurant in a historic building with great interior design. Creative cocktails 🍹

For the starters, the Koliwala prawns and squid were outstanding. The beef curry with the fermented rice pancake was the star of the show as my husband’s main, but for me the grilled salmon is a dish I’ll be dreaming of for a long time. I never had such well cooked salmon and the curry leaf marinade was perfect.

Friendly and professional staff who answered our questions about the food and helped us chose. Nice touch with a slice of birthday cake at the end of the meal 🍰

The food is amazing. The set lunch for £55 is a brilliant deal. The choice for non-meat eaters is great.
The staff are all great, they are friendly, helpful and kind.
The Slovenian wine is really lovely.
Trishna is a fantastic restaurant experience and my wife and I both love it. They are fully deserving of their Michelin *.

5 star experience! Very friendly and helpful service. We explained our dietary restrictions and were given several recommendations for the tasting menu. The meal was excellent. We selected five courses thinking they would be small like other tasting menus we have experienced, but the portions were very generous. We ended up taking some home with us. The shrimp and squid starter and salmon were our favorite dishes but everything we tried was delicious. We went for my birthday and they brought out a candle to make it special. It was a delicious and memorable experience and we highly recommend this restaurant.

Had the 4 course lunch set menu here. The restaurant is certainly deserving of it's Michelin star status. The starters in particular were delicious and the chefs had really taken classic Indian flavours/dishes and presented them in a unique way. I really enjoyed the experimentation of flavours and thought they worked incredibly well. The main course was very good, but not as outstanding as the other dishes - the flavours itself were authentic and delicious, but could have been a little stronger to match the punchy flavours of the other courses. The service was excellent. Great atmosphere too.

I would have given them 5 stars, but the only reason I knocked one off, is because I developed mild food poisoning. It was the only meal I had the whole day, and I do not have a medical condition that could have been the cause. I am also used to food that is spicier than what I had, so it was not the spice. This was as big a surprise to me, as all the food was served piping hot. The only culprit could have been the prawn relish (which was delicious) served with the papadams. I hope management will maybe review food storage/handling protocols. Would I go again - absolutely, it was worth it!

Our chicken, lamb and goat is Halal. There is no pork on the menu and we prepare separately to non-Halal ingredients to avoid cross-contamination. Alcohol is served.

We had heard good reviews about Kibele online so we thought we’d give it a try!

I mean, the only thing we really enjoyed in terms of food was the Diet Coke...for starters we ordered Kalamar (calamari) and Carides (grilled prawns). The Kalamar was very elasticy and the breadcrumbs just...fell off? The Carides wasn’t the most flavourful either. I ordered the Mix Grill, which was probably the best thing we got. The adana kebab and lamb chop were nice, but the chicken cubes were dry. The lamb shank was completely tasteless, although it did fall off the bone quite well. However, the restaurant did have really pretty decor and a beautiful harp at the front that is occasionally played during dinner, which creates a very nice atmosphere. The service was good. 
Settings: 8/10 
Food: 4/10
Service: 7/10
Overall: 6.3/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Kibele Fitzrovia on Instagram

Kibele Restaurant

I would have written this review the same day,no words can truly capture the customer service. Although they charge £15.50, which feels a bit on the higher side and not entirely fair, the experience made up for it. The service was excellent and so warm, the toilets were clean (though the place itself felt a little dark), and the food,what can I say? Generous portions, authentic flavours, and absolutely delicious. A must-visit for anyone who loves real, tasty food!

We celebrated our director’s birthday at Kibele, and it was a great experience! The food was delicious, the ambience lovely, but what really stood out was the exceptional service. Cemsit was an amazing host and took such good care of us. I’ll definitely be back!

✨ An amazing experience!
It was our first time visiting this restaurant, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and beautifully presented a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. 🥂🍴

The staff were very attentive and friendly, making us feel special from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere is elegant, clean, and welcoming perfect for both family gatherings and spending time with friends.

We’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. 💯👌

The food is fantastic! The meat is juicy and tender, stunning flavour!
Their baklava dessert is also amazing!
The food and drinks arrived quick.
The highlight for me was their staff, they're extremely welcoming and they make you feel home! My husband and I went there for our anniversary and Pri made sure to give us the best experience you could ask for. I wish all restaurants had an amazing staff like her. The coffee she made was also fantastic!
Overall, it was a great experience.

Went here for my birthday meal with a small group of friends and service was great, staff were attentive , polite and knowledgeable. Food was great too, reasonably priced and arrived quickly. Staff were so lovely, they bought out a small birthday cake with candles and sang happy birthday which was a nice surprise. The restaurant is nice  and had a live music that wasn’t too loud. Would definitely recommend this place and will go again.

Philadelphia inspired restaurant serving mean chicken wings

Passyunk Avenue (Fitzrovia)

The WIZ cheese sauce was absolutely amazing and went with the tortilla chips really well. The beer was lovely and smooth and the vodka cranberry was nice and sweet. The bread was so soft and delicious and complimented the meat and cheese so well

Great atmosphere, the food was amazing and great service as well. This place has been on my bucket list for such a long time and I’m glad I finally have a chance to swing by.
My girlfriend, who’s American, said the food is as good as, if not better, than the ones she had back in the States! It’s so cool to have some authentic American food in London and would definitely come back to try the wings another time.

Dropped in as a bucket list stop after visiting the Guards Museum, as I'd heard great feedback on social media about their Philly Cheesesteaks, but have never actually had one.

Service, atmosphere, and food quality were top notch.  Also, PBR at 5.75 a pint is shockingly cheap for London.  One beer turned into three and I was already set up for a gig over in Shepherd's Bush.

As a London YouTube creator, I often stumble upon hidden gems while filming.

Passyunk Avenue may be one of my favourites. I was born in Philly, so there was going to be appeal right from the start. But I expected it to be a bit gimmicky and only conducive to a one-time experience.

Well, I was wrong about that. Not only have I gone back to Passyunk several times in Fitzrovia, I also visited the flagship Waterloo location in the Leak Street tunnel and the brand new location on Church Street in Kensington.

All locations are consistent in their excellent and authentic American pub grub with a Philly twist and their amazing friendly wait staff and bartenders.

The cheesesteaks are to die for and the beers and cocktails are creative and delicious. All of this while being chatted up by the most delightful and enthusiastic staff you could hope for.

To top it off, all of the Philadelphia decor, memorabilia and even sports on the TVs make me feel like I’m back in the City of Brotherly Love without having to leave my beloved London.

So I highly recommend this whether you’re an expat that misses the uniquely American bar food and snacks not available here, or if you’re local and want a god-honest American sports bar experience, this is the jawn for you

As a fan of buffalo wings, this was absolutely one of the best wings I’ve had. Nice blue cheese dip. Chicken club sandwich and nachos were also great!

Props for also having PBR on tap and also a decent selection of beverages.

We serve Halal. Certificate available behind the counter.

Naroon Fitzrovia

We had an amazing experience at Naroon Fitzrovia. The food and atmosphere were both fantastic — everything we tried was delicious, but the chicken was truly out of this world.

A special mention goes to Nader, whose service was exceptional. He was attentive, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. Any restaurant would be lucky to have him run and represent them.

Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Incredibly flavourful food with lovely service. I would highly recommend getting the platter. The meat is succulent and combined with the fragrant rice is a delight. I’d highly recommend it

Bit of an issue with our booking, through open table, clearly not connecting to the actual venue properly, led to a young chap on the door just getting a bit grumpy with us. Anyway we were escorted out of the nice bit into the older take away style half of the place.

Extremely popular venue, I thought the food was was alright. After the rude man on the door our actual waiter was very pleasant.

The pomegranate olives were lovely, one thing I thought was a bit odd was the deeg. £26 lamb shank deeg, the description suggests it’s coming out in a big pot, when actually it’s quite a small portion of lamb in a bit of sauce.

The mixed grill for four is £90 and probably isn’t enough for four of you.

While traveling in London, it was a priority to make a trip to Naroon as it had glowing reviews. It did not disappoint.

We started with the Olivieh and the Kuku Sabzi as appetizers. The olovieh could have used a bit more spice but was tasty - while the kuku took me back to childhood memories eating with my family around the table. It had pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top which added a nice contrast. The Taftoon bread and Torshi were nice complements to the appetizers and the rest of the meal.

The true standouts from our order were the mains. For the table we shared a Vaziri - which is one skewer of Joujeh Kabob (Boneless Chicken) and one skewer of Koobideh Kabob (Ground Lamb).  The Koobideh was grilled to perfection while the Joujeh was extremely tender and moist.

The Ghormeh Sabzi (Mixed Herb Stew) was one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant. You could immediately taste the dried lime doing its part to blend and mix the flavors. More times than not, when ordering this dish at a Persian restaurant, it is not fresh - however this was very fresh and comforting to eat.

At this point we were very full - yet still decided to order the desert “Se-Shir Irani” which translates to “Iranian Tres Leches.” Unfortunately, they had just sold out for the night - which was disappointing but left us something to look forward to next time.

The food, staff, space, and ambiance were all very welcoming! It will be a regular stop for me next time I’m in London.

Place came recommended by a friend not to disappoint. Had starters, mains, desserts, drinks for 3 around £103. Beautiful warm service especially by Parsa and Faezeh.
The one drawback is seating is really cramped got to see the other seating arrangements downstairs etc next time. Our pooch was at ease too but if dog friendly try offer a bowl of water for them too. And maybe introduce something on the house too. Rest retain the quality.
Thanks for a lovely evening.

Pics and what we tried this visit:

A delicious authentic Persian meal in a restaurant in the city detailed below:

Mirza Ghasemi - Smoked aubergine, tomatoes and garlic, topped with a fried egg - have had better.

Sangak Bread - Traditional Persian Flatbread - have had better.

Bakhtiari - A medley of marinated lamb fillet cubes, saffron chicken pieces, peppers, and onions - highly recommended

Lamb Shank - Slow-cooked tender lamb shank, served with a speciality dill and broad beans rice - highly
recommended

Naroon Mojito

Bastani - Saffron ice cream, pistachio and rose - highly recommended

Persian tea - refreshing but moderate the sweet to as much as you prefer!

Second visit yesterday night….
Loved it minus the chicken kebabs they were not to taste or tenderness.
Enjoyed the lamb a lot. Fire alarm was funny but fixed. On the house tea was nice as was baklava - loaded with sugar.

See you all again.

Honest Burgers Warren St

It was an amazing burger!! We saw the restaurant as we walked by and decided to turn around and have a burger. And wow what a burger. My daughter demolished her burger quicker than me, that's a sign of a decent burger. The taste is very fresh!! Perfect amount of Sauces and other ingredients in the burger. The rosemary salted fries are so different but it works fantastic. Next time in London we will return! I hate to say this but my only moan is £3.20 for a can of diet/ zero Coke. And the BBQ sauce with the tenders is more of a spicy sauce than a BBQ also the tenders are southern fried so slightly spicy too. Other than that it was a perfect visit with friendly welcoming staff, fantastic team! Well done guys

The BEST meal after a long travel day - it was heavenly to have a decent burger again! I went for a single smash burger and it did not disappoint. Delicious flavours and it was hard to believe the bun was gluten free! The chips were perfectly seasoned and crispy. 10/10, wish I could go back!

I love this Honest burgers location! The burgers and chips are delicious and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Usually there is no wait to be seated and the food comes out pretty quick too. I got the double smashed and loved it! Their lemonade and rosemary chips are lovely too. They have a rotating burger special and also offer student discount with StudentBeans app.

I think this is my first time eating from a honest burger. I got a takeaway which was nicely packaged.

The chicken burger was pretty good the chicken was soft and juicy and a little spicy with a fantastic crispy crunch. I think they went too light on the sauce and it wasn’t spread too well some parts didn’t have any on. It had a nice slight kick to it and the sauce I did taste was nice and herby. The bun was decent and had enough hold not to fall apart.

The chips were alright but I think I had seen people hype them up too much. Again the seasoning wasn’t very well spread out and some chips were a lot crispier than others. Overall they were pretty decent and the rosemary salt did add a nice flavour. I’m going to take them home and pop them in the Airfryer to get to the level I prefer. In the future I think I would prefer to just get the burger.

However I had chosen blue cheese as the sauce and instead got given a little Heinz ketchup and mayo. I was quite disappointed.

As I got takeaway I didn’t really interact with the staff but the person who collected my meal for me was very professional and polite.

Fries were really lovely and staff very kind! I was expecting a lot from the honest burger after eating the fries but sadly the taste was quite lackluster and the beef felt watery? Not a devastating experience or a bad taste, I would just personally try a different burger if I am to go again in the future!

Generally a good place for some quick food though :)

Maui Poke | Fitzrovia

Maui Poke is absolutely amazing! 🌺 I had a bowl with sushi rice, spicy salmon, edamame, kimchi, seaweed, spring onion, and spicy mayo, and everything was just perfect. The fish was super fresh, the toppings were flavorful, and the spicy mayo brought it all together. Definitely a spot I’ll come back to.

Just had a delicious lunch at Maui Poke in the heart of Fitzrovia. There are numerous options to choose your own bowl and you get a substantial lunch. There are only two tables outside and we were lucky enough to get one for lunch in the sun, although there is also limited seating inside. Serving staff are very helpful and the price is reasonable for the amount you get.

Very tasty simple poke bowl. Generous with fish and friendly staff. Perfect for a midday meal

Food was okay but fish felt slimey. The unagi bowl was nice.
The service was quite bad. People behind the counter had an attitude, rolled eyes, when I said I can't hear them they didn't speak up, and the whole encounter was really awkward. Really sad as I was excited to try this place.

Somewhere that always has a line out of the door at lunchtimes - a good sign. An even better sign is when the queue moves quite quickly.

The menu choices are vast - you can have one of their signature house poke dishes or go ahead and create your own. Admittedly, I’m yet to try anything else other than their signature spicy salmon poke bowl (it’s soooo good!) but everything looks great. I’m sure I’ll work my way through the menu at some point.

The one downside is I’ve found the customer service level and also the portion size can vary, it all depends on who is serving you. This is not always a good thing.

The beef gyudon we have in stock at our red lion branch is not halal. But the chicken in all our stores is Halal.
