Halal Asian cuisine. Formerly Bonda Kitchen

Bonda by Duck & Noodle

Entrance is down a set of stairs, if you didn't know it was there, you would easily miss the restaurant.

Very clean but comfortable. Lovely hand painted murals on the walls.

Creative, beautiful and above all tasty dishes. We went here looking for halal dimsum and we were not let down.  The food was brilliant. As they had a seafood dimsum platter, it would have been nice to have a carnivore dimsum platter.

I would have tried more food but we were possibly a bit full from our earlier meal.

Was looking for a halal restaurant that was something other than Indian or Turkish and stumbled across this on Google. Absolutely 10/10. All the dishes were extremely tasty, freshly cooked and the service was fast. Slightly more varied menu than some Malaysian places - with dumplings and bao buns on offer. Highly recommended and I will definitely visit again.

I came here for lunch as a family of four. We decided to order Duck bao buns, Veggie Laksa, Nasi Lemak, and Fruit Sago.

Duck bao buns was delicious overall. The bun was soft and light while the duck is a bit chewy but it’s fine. All veggies complementing the bun were refreshing and the sauce was nice. I would recommend you to try it if you happen to visit this place.

Veggie Laksa was very good. The broth was vibrant and thick with a refreshing sour flavor in it.   I did a bit hack by dipping the bun into the broth as it was taste amazing. Another stuff I did was putting some Laksa spicy sauce with the duck bun and it was tasty.

Nasi Lemak could be bettee. The rice is not that flavorful but you can taste the coconut in there. Need to eat the rice with chicken, salted anchovies all at once to get a nice flavor of the dish. The sambal was quite a lot though.

We closed our meals with fruit sago in which there were jackfruits, mango and basil seeds. The dish was served with evaporated milk. The surprising part of this dessert is that it was served warm. I would recommend to share with friends if you order this.

I had not been here for a couple of years.  Easy to miss as you have to navigate to a basement to access. They have spruced up the interior and given it a fresher look. Service was quick. I ordered a prawn CKT noodle meal. Good quality prawns. However despite the basement location and basic interior… this is NOT a cheap eat. Spent just under £15 for 1 dish with no drinks.

Dim sum was underwhelming and expensive. Not soft or moist enough for me. The chicken in the Nasi Lemak  was cooked well. Crispy skin and moist on the inside. However, the sauce needed more flavour for me. The owner was very friendly and service was fast. All in all an average meal at best for us.

Recommended to me by a Malaysian colleague, I went with my boyfriend for dinner. We were very happy with the food, especially the oxtail soup, the aubergine in sweet curry and the lamb korma. We also ordered the coconut rice and the seafood fried rice -very tasty as well. We'll have to come back for dessert another time.

The food was amazing, the soft drinks are a little pricey, the venue is nice and immaculate, there service is brilliant and the team were catering to all my needs they were flexible with menu and really helpful allowing me to feed my child in a private room, the food was efficient in time being served. Had a lovely experience. Will recommend and go back again. Full halal menu and also a designated prayer room.

Excellent and authentic Malaysian food. All the dishes were prepared and cooked very well, bursting with flavour. We especially enjoyed the chicken satay, which was very flavourful and nicely charred. The roti was nice and flaky and the beef rendang was very tender. Would recommend for a great Malaysian feast!

The food here was delicious. The workers were amazing young people. I went at an extremely busy time and they courteously explained to me and personally to others too that their food might take longer because of the crowd. I saw them check in with folks intermittently. Ultimately, the food did not take an unreasonable amount of time to get out. I see why this place is popular! If you're reading this review, make up your mind already and give this a shot!

Felt like a home cooked dinner - brilliant food and warm friendly service. Highly recommend the beef rendang and spicy tomato Chicken curry.

I will definitely be returning and eat more of the satay goreng!

I recently visited for lunch and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. The welcoming atmosphere and the ambiance create the perfect dining experience. The food was mouth-watering and exceeded my expectations to be honest. Our server, Munna was incredibly polite and friendly, always making sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I must give a special mention to his attentiveness - he was always on top of things ensuring that we had a smooth experience. All in all, it was a pleasant experience and I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service.

Arrived there for dinner with my family as a bit of a last minute decision. We were escorted downstairs to a really unique and wonderful dining room! The food was great overall, standouts being the beef ribs, truffle pasta (amazing) and the the banana wrapped in kadayif (think a kunefe with banana), also the onion rings!
On an honest note, it's certainly on the pricier end. Things like starters and desserts just sit £2-3 over an ideal price point. Then main dishes like the biryani are priced around £20 -35. At that price I would've like to see a larger portion that would be good for sharing. I would definitely go back, they've only just opened, and after a chat with their super friendly manager, he gave me the feeling that prices and menu would be adjusted over time to make it a more accessible, regular spot for as many people as possible. At the moment for me personally, it's more of a special occasion kind of place, which is still fine!

The food was okay. They didn't have several items available at it was a Saturday night and only 6pm. The Angus burger was quite good, really juicy but the bottom bun completely fell apart as soon as it was served to us. The ribs were melt in your mouth (a little sweet and maybe needed more smokiness). The prawns were very average, but the tempura mushrooms were a highlight (esp the sauce that comes with). Banana fritter dessert was very nice. I had made a request for a celebration but what they provided was quite disappointing. Several other tables weren't too happy and one large group left before ordering as so many dishes were unavailable. Service was terribly slow and unattentive.

Went there for early dinner with a group of ladies on a weekday .Staff was very welcoming and polite. Priscilla & Brittany was amazing. Beautiful place , great food and delicious desserts especially the Fried Banana Fritters! A must try!!
Will go back again for lovely food and mocktails.

The place has a unique ambience. We loved the Mediterranean feeling of being in a well lit cave.

The food was scrumptious and fresh. Most delicious for me was the white prawn starter and the beef Udon noodles. Kids loved the steaks and lasagna

Knowing it was 100% halal just added to our comfort.

We took our time and even said sallah in their little room...

Walk into a underground Lebanese cave in Paddington at @thevillagepaddington. Loads of Lebanese classics available, here's what was ordered. 
Cheese rolls, Kibbeh, Halloumi, Manakish with cheese/lamb mince/thyme, Vine leaves,  Omelette with meat, Lebanese
Kunefe, Almond cake and Tabbouleh. Everything is really reasonably priced. Some things are hit and miss but a nice place to go if you are in the area. The decor downstairs is worth  visiting on it's own. #invited

The Village Paddington - Lebanese Restaurant

Came across this restaurant via the Eat out to help out scheme - and what a find!
Really enjoyed the fresh food here. Plenty of options for vegetarians, freshly made and at a very reasonable price. 
We've already recommended this restaurant to others who live locally and will definitely visit again.

I visit the Village whenever I am in London for the great variety of food for breakfast, lunch and desserts they serve, and the unique setting and ambience they offer.

Very polite and helpful staff. My friends and I are vegetarians and they were super helpful on selecting dishes. Able to sit outside in the nice weather. But the interior of the restaurant was very nice. Worth a visit 😊

The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. They have a great value for the price. A super friendly staff with a great service. We highly recommend it.

Impressive independently run Lebanese Restaurant serving authentic dishes cooked daily. I had their dish of the day (Vermicelli rice and chicken) and a Manakish.  Their coffee is pretty good too! Will definitely come again.
