Halal Reviews for The Goring Dining Room Westminster

Had an amazing celebration dinner on a Thursday evening. Had a pre dinner cocktail in the bar. Service in the restaurant was excellent and food was superb. Expensive, but for a very special treat, we really enjoyed our evening.

Birthday Dinner at Coring – A Wonderful Experience I took my wife to Coring for her birthday dinner, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and special. The atmosphere was warm and elegant, just right for a celebration. The food was excellent – beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with care. Every dish felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. We especially enjoyed the attention to detail and the balance of tastes throughout the meal. The service was outstanding, attentive without being intrusive, which made the whole evening very relaxing. My wife was truly delighted, and it made her birthday memorable. If you are in London, Coring is definitely a must-try restaurant for a special occasion or simply for a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!

Really great experience at the Goring Dining room. We celebrated my partner's birthday and every detail had been considered. The staff were very friendly and approachable, we were made to feel very welcome and the food was exceptional. Perfect place to celebrate something special or as a treat.

I’ve visited The Goring Dining Room several times in the past, but this was my first visit since its interior revamp around 18 months ago. The restaurant is located on the ground floor, just a short walk from the entrance. The refreshed décor is elegant and striking—green and white wallpaper, grand chandelier-style light fittings, and deep green curtains set the tone. Mirrors are framed with small silhouette portraits and miniature paintings, while a red-and-white floral carpet grounds the space. The seating design is particularly attractive, with semicircular booths in a rich red fabric at the centre, surrounded by tables around the periphery. The food was equally impressive. The bread was excellent with butter (though I wasn’t a fan of the marmite butter). The amuse-bouche was a pleasant start. For starters, the trout tartare with cucumber was fresh, light, and beautifully balanced. The watercress velouté, served with a large cheese ravioli, was also superb. For mains, the leg of partridge was presented dramatically, complete with the leg. The meat itself was tender, paired with a rich jus, smooth purée, and grilled onion. The sole dish was delicately plated, with the bone running through the centre. The flavour was subtle yet refined, enhanced by a lovely sauce and sweet potato purée. Desserts were a highlight. The sassi baba came flambéed with Calvados—an impressive presentation and equally delightful taste. The “cloud” dessert, with lemon sponge and hazelnuts at the base, was good though less memorable than the baba. Service throughout was impeccable—professional yet warm, attentive without being intrusive. With its new interior, the dining room feels even more elevated. The set lunch menu (two or three courses) offers excellent value and makes for a memorable dining experience.
