Fine dining at its best in Welling

“Much more tasty than other Indian takeaways - manages to be hot, fragrant and spicy, but not just bluntly overpowered with garlic and chili peppers. These guys appear to really consider the taste of their dishes. Delivered five minutes early. Good sized portions. Very nice delivery person. Our new regular.”

“I took two friends visiting London for lunch and we loved it! The food is super authentic, and the waitress who served us was not only nice but also very funny! The prawn ceviche was spectacular although very spicy! The noddles and sweetcorn fritters are a must on your order if you go. Highly recommended!”

“Eat here for lunch at least once a week. For me, best thai food around, flavoursome, beef noodle soup is definitely a favourite, beef just falls apart. If you like Thai, give this a try for sure”

“Went back to Di Paolo's for a 'date night' with my fiancé. We love this place, the staff are so attentive, nothing is too much to ask and the food is outstanding. I had fish soup for a starter (which was so fresh and full of flavour) and he had scallops with black pudding. For main, I had the liver and bacon (which was cooked to perfection and served with a wonderfully creamy mash) and he chose the lamb cutlets, which were equally delicious. Every time we leave we can't wait to go back!”

“A fantastic little restaurant almost hidden in the village. The outside is quite nondescript but once in you are welcomed warmly by all the staff. Some amazing dishes on the menu including their bruschetta rustica and the sea bass. Staff were quick, friendly and attentive.”

“The venue is very nice, private and cosy. The dishes we were served were very delicious and the service impeccable. I will very soon come back to this place. Thank you very much!”

“AMAZING SERVICE. All staff were polite, helpful and friendly. I have never had better customer service in my 30+ years of living in London. Staff even opened the door for us to leave, they treated my and my friends like Queens. They gave my friend a birthday desert and were very nice. The food was great, but not very authentic tasting. But big portions and very cheap. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“We recently had our wedding day lunch here and it was just spectacular!! The food, the service and the hospitality all top top marks! Couldn't have asked for a better wedding day meal from start to finish. (The charcoal bread and the raviolo were particular favourites of ours)”

“Best seafood dishes I ever tasted, This is another level restaurant where food tastes like nowhere else. The service also is amazing, a service and treatment you won't get elsewhere in London. A perfect place for romantic dinner, birthday party, or business meetings, It is worth every penny you spend.”

“I visited this restaurant last week after finding it on Meerkat dining out. Check in advance what the offers are on this as it seems a little out of date. The owner/manager is a very happy chap who was very attentive. The decor was tasteful and rustic and the atmosphere was relaxed. Fresh lightly grilled bread was served which was a bonus. 3 of us all had a main meal and shared a bottle of wine. With the discount it came to about £50. All the food was fresh and tasty. Overall a very nice place and I am sure we will return in future.”

“Food was just delicious! Waiters were very friendly and attentive. Price on menu was very reasonable despite being central london location, worth visiting for meal or dinner with friends. Booked for a birthday dinner under Gurps.”

“My favourite pub in London. I'm lucky to live nearby, but friends from Croydon and Brixton travel to meet me here because they love it too. Good beer, super friendly staff and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We need more pubs like this!”

“Decent bar, came here on the recommendation that it is the best Irish bar that isn’t in Ireland! Didn’t disappoint. Bit tight for space and the outdoor area closes kinda early and you’re just expected to find somewhere to stand in the tiny indoor area. Pints were great!”

“Easy to book and update. Alerts sent in advance of trip. SMS and email alert nearing your arrival. The driver is super attentive - even calls and SMS beforehand. Comfortable, hassle-free, and safe journey to hotel. Why bother figuring out where you need to go with public transport or wait endlessly at cab queues that may not be the most reliable. My 1st time using and I would use them again for future trips.”

“Delicious recipes, fantastic ingredients, love the restaurant and their new cook@home pizzas. Means we can enjoy their pizzas whenever we want. They are prepared part cooked by the manifesto chefs and finished at home in minutes- yum!!”

“Fantastic beer selection! Best in the neighborhood.”

“Amazing location food and decor... went on a Tuesday lunch it was quite because it was only a week after opening.... Food was mind blowingly good, staff very attentive couldn't ask for more... Definitely a new contender in the Mayfair Steak market.”

“This is such a cute and beautiful cafe, right on Epping high street. Great selection of menu choices, would suit a quick lunch and more substantial meals if needed and good for kids too! The "French" is out of this world! Food quality is gorgeous! Thanks Harleys!”

“What an amazing experience. Tried 4 different pizzas with our family. Hands down, best pizza I have ever had. The food is fresh and very reasonably priced. The bruschetta is an absolute must! Service is warm and welcoming and the restaurant is very clean. I will most defined be coming back every chance that i get.”

“Lovely little Italian restaurant in Surbiton. Despite arriving early to try and get a table, the place has a really good vibe and not to mention good food. (Place was fully booked but accepted walk in entries if there was last minute availability) Menu consists of starters, pizza choices, pasta dishes, specials and desserts. There are gluten free pasta and pizza base available, these are not made on the premises and is made by a separate company. There is a small additional charge for this. Pizza is made fresh in their impressively large pizza oven located in the restaurant. We were sat at the bar area around this pizza oven and it was lovely to see the pizza masters doing their thing with stretching the pizza dough. Great selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks too. The place was clean and staff friendly and helpful. Will return.”

“Had a lunchtime hankering for Korean. I've passed this restaurant many times and thought that it was a sushi restaurant. Anyway the portions are huge easily satisfy two people per serving. Service was friendly and fast but dishes came out of sequence i.e. the main came first, followed by the starter and lastly the rice for the main arrived. The food was hot and the meat dishes were sizzling. The price was a little pricey but the experience was worth it. Looking forward to those Japanese fried oysters next visit.”

“Newly opened (July 22), and very welcome to Ickenham. Smart interior design. Menu with some unfamiliar items which are mostly just your curries under different names. Extensive vegetarian options. Standard bar. Food was really good. Service a little hesitant as team settle in. Prices low now because of opening promotion.”

“We went to this lovely lovey family owned and run restaurant for my mother’s birthday. The food was so tasty and the service was excellent. The food came so quickly and the staff put so much effort into each of the tables- making a specific effort for each party. Their prices are really reasonable and the food is to die for with brilliant portion sizes. They also made a big effort for birthdays and got the music going as we were one of the last tables still there and made us laugh!! My brother speaks broken Italian and they spoke back and helped him with some of the words like spoon! Can’t recommend enough and we will definitely be going back again.”

“It was the only non-salty fish and chips I had in London. You'll know at first bite that it's a fried fish cooked with very fresh fish. And it was very reasonable prices! I strongly recommend it!”

“Mmmm shashlik! Tender, spicy but not hot spicy......make your mouth water spicy. Charcoal chicken wings. Not the skinny flappy bit but,the shoulder and bicep. A tiny sprinkle of fresh lemon juice drizzled into the munchable, tender chicken. The starter dip things.... FANTASTIC Turkish naan. Light and fluffy with a good outside crunch, dipped into fresh proper humus. A garlicy yoghurt dip thing. Grilled onion quarters in a pomegranate sauce. A fresh and tangy salad with tomatoes, cos lettuce, cucumber, onion. Often Turkish salads that I've had have just been sprinkled with vinegar which, can make them slightly bland. Not so Charcoal's salad dressing. Imagine a charcoaled meat selection served on a bed of rice with a chips border and a sort of thin, round flatbread covering to keep the aroma and heat contained. Lamb shish in very small,succulent cubes on wooden skewers. The charcoal chicken wings, shashlik, thin strips of doner.thick, tender lamb chunks. Add a glass of Turkish red wine (or three). Maybe some Turkish tea with something sweet for those of us who like the slightest perspiration invoked by overeating. Yes, they do takeaway. Yes they have all sorts of fizzy drinks. But, they are not your usual Turkish takeaway. This place is well worth a sit-down for an hour or so and serious, professional eating. Opposite Lidl so maybe, if you do some shopping in Lidl - you could park there. Personally, I think it's worth taking the Northern line and walking from Edgware statation. A couple of outside tables for those that need a quick cigarette or an afternoon cup of coffee and a baklava. I was introduced by a friend who is Turkish and himself a retired restaurateur. In the 20 plus years I have known him - he has always steered me to places that are good quality and not overpriced. This isn't a place with fancy carpets and bow tie waiters. It's like a mum n dad place who care and concentrate on flavour.”

“Food is always tasty and freshly cooked, with a great choice. The staff are really friendly”

“What can I say about BIRRIA Taco’s the food is so delicious I had to visit here again. The vibe of the owner is chilled and you get to experience real Mexican flavours. I can’t wait for them to blow up. The drinks are mad as well.”

“A little gem I’ve discovered via friends in Barnes. Great for seasonal Italian dishes paired with fine wines.”

“Excellent food and very good service. Well done to all the waiters who were pleasant and efficient - especially Jamie . Congratulations to the cooks as well!”

“Loved it!!!! The food was delicious, with the right amount of spice. The service was great, staff were very polite and very friendly. I have been to so many Nepalese restaurant, must say this is the only Nepalese restaurant that has provided great food with great service. Will be going back again.”
