Local chef in London

“Quirky little cafe-bar. Had a perfectly nice pot of tea and a really good pain chocolat. I was the only customer in and me and the owner Ken spent the whole time chatting, mostly about photography. Many of his are on the walls, along with several other photographers. There's also a lot of music instruments hanging on the walls and ceiling, Mozart-themed chocolates and other gifts (as the name might suggest) imported from Vienna, classical music playing. Overally a nice interesting place to sit and while away some time taking in the overall ambience.”

“Have dined a number of times and never been disappointed. As it was bonfire night a friend and I decided to get a takeaway. The food was beautiful, hot, with all the right spices, making it the same as if dined in. What was exceptional was that 2/3 minutes after opening the takeaway bag I realised that one item was incorrect but as we liked this starter anyway we decided not to bother to do anything. However the phone went and panorama rang, full of apologies and sent a driver out with the item we had ordered. I said it didn’t matter but they insisted. I thought this was great customer service. Amazing food, never disappointed completed with great customer service by lovely people”

“After we placed an order with uber eats the driver went someplace else, called to deliver and had a massive argument before her left my order on the pavement and carried on with his schedule!!!!! Shortly after I notified the restaurant they were so professional and kind to have my order replaced. Such heartwarming service and the quality of the food cannot be compared to any other Greek food pitta yeeros restaurants in London! I totally recommend this place for the quality of food and service the people provide. If I could give 10 stars I would!”

“OMG. Loved this place - one of my favourite meals of 2022, despite it being mostly vegetarian. The only thing I didn't like was the aubergine...but more my tastebuds kind of thing. Cassava was a revelation, the cauliflower fried bits were gorgeous, the black bean tacos were surprisingly good. Even the chicken was great. Don't be afraid if you are a carnivore like me...venue is awesome too, and quite the surprise.”

“I wish I’d taken more photos because these 2 don’t really do the food justice. The quality and variety is what stood out for me - starters such as Jeera Chicken made with chicken on the bone, cassava root with garlic and chilli and paneer shashlik were my favourites. Great atmosphere and service as well, plus the wonderful Tusker beer, I highly recommend this place!”

“Amazing restaurant!! The waitress was great, we had a lot of fun with her as you can see in the picture. The food was amazing as well! Would highly recommend going here.”

“Lovely little café. Sitting is available outside. It operates a nice mini golf too.”

“Cannot recommend Ray and the staff enough at Top Chef Cafe! Super friendly service and very very generous with the food and making you feel welcome. Very fairly priced 10/10”

“Volunteer run cafe and it was really nice”

“Halfway through the evening and absolutely excellent show! Drinks and food are reasonably priced - the cocktails are to die for. The singers are fabulous and the dancing is mind blowing - 100% recommend and hope to be back soon!”

“We stumbled across this Italian gem whilst looking for a bite to eat ahead of the Varsity Hockey match at the Olympic Hockey arena. We were warmly greeted by owner Matteo, and we immediately felt comfortable. We had cheese burgers and chips, which were delicious as you would expect from a master butcher. I had a pint of the on tap IPA, which was super refreshing. Great shop, with onsite butcher, deli, wine, and beer for sale. Wish we lived closer. The locals are spoilt with this exceptional establishment right on their doorsteps.”

“Went here for birthday dinner and was a triumph! Wonderful tasting menu, from the crab oil with the starter bread to the biscuits with the bill. Particular highlight was the Kiev (secret is to deep-fry anything and fill it with butter….). Service was friendly and atmosphere really chilled. Thoroughly recommend.”

“Had several meals at the 2 T’s Cafe in New Cross ranging from breakfasts to burgers and pasta dishes, and I’ve never been to a more consistent place in a while! The staff are always smiling and will always say hello, even when you’re walking past the restaurant! Will almost certainly fill you up when you leave.”

“I really enjoyed my time here. I had the stew which was lovely, sausage in a bun and a matcha latte. The owners seemed really cheerful and friendly. Would definitely go back.”

“Cannot praise this place enough. Amazing quality home cooked menus. Varied and changing menu. Excellent prices.”

“I really love this concept. This was my second time in London and eating at Flat Iron this year and they didn't disappoint. Once you walk in, they get you seated, bring you a cup of popcorn immediately while you're waiting for the service to make your order. The steak is delicious and once you're paying you'll get a small "coin" for an exchange for the ice cream at the bar as you're leaving. I love this concept! No extra charges for the popcorn and ice cream. Good job!”

“27 August- 2 September 2022 The front desk service was very attentive and professional. We were greeted by Xinchen Li Guest Relations Manager whom was so so helpful. Her PR is excellent and took us in with open arms. The hotel ambience was warm and welcoming with the right mix of traditional, classic charm with a contemporary feel. We are enjoying every minute in your esteem hotel. The doorman remembers our name and welcoming us every time when we returned. Our room was deluxe, clean and fresh, lovely bed and amenities. The bathroom is very clean and fresh and all we need is there. Everybody from staff is friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay, location is great too, a short stroll to the tube station. We will definitely come back!”

“I work here at present bringing the hotel back to life. I clean up the construction debris and keep rooms updated for the housekeeping staff to create the ambiance”

“It was the best Omakase experience in my life. Start with the clam soup which had already made me super satisfied!! Highly recommended!”

“Omg this was amazing! Got there early (just before 6) so secured a table for 4 very easily. Once we ordered the food came out really quick and everything was absolutely delicious! Cannot fault a single plate. My favourite was the Japche, hadn’t had it for years and it did not disappoint. A must visit in Finsbury Park Find me on TikTok for video reviews @hi.there.im.katie”

“Friendly staff, had delicious crab and seafood ravioli and pizza at very reasonable price. Restaurant nearly full at 7.00 on Thursday night, nice atmosphere.”

“Lovely food and crew very good service”

“Delicious, high quality Indian cuisine with a large variety of dishes and lovely service. We were so impressed that we ordered some dishes takeaway for the next day as well! 150% recommend!”

“The owner very friendly and hospitable. Food was awesome. Reasonable price, value and quality for money. Small establishment but cosy. Would definitely recommend.”

“Best dining experience of my life! Absolutely incredible food, attention to detail from the friendly waiting staff and a super cool & ambient atmosphere made for a 10 out of 10 experience! You will not be disappointed with the "All in" menu whether you eat meat or are vegetarian/ vegan - every single dish was beautifully assembled and tasted phenomenal! There was so much variety too. From wherever you sit in the restaurant, you can also see the care & effort the chefs put in to preparing the food and the waiting staff genuinely seem proud and knowledgeable about the food they're serving to you. Simply cannot fault Silo.”

“I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. The dishes are well presented and the food is delicious. Service was delightful and very professional. 10/10”

“First order from here & loved it! My place is hard to find, I couldn’t believe the delivery driver found me with no problem. The food was first class and this is now my first choice!”

“Excellent Indian food - portions aren’t very big but the flavors are spot on. Love the laziz pasanda, the bhindi achari, the lotus stem chaat and the mango lassi. Good service and cute decor. Will be back!”

“The best Indian food around! Tons of options on the menu, very rich in flavour, for reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly, best if you check with them about a 'spicy' level of each dish (some meals are extremely hot). Option to bring your own drinks to the restaurant is a big plus!”

“Food was delicious. Employee in front of the restaurant will talk to everyone passing by and lure them inside with pretty good deals. Inside was not very spacious, but we made it work. We were offered free drinks if we would post a 5 star review on Google. We would recommend for the food, that was really tasty.”
