Local influenced cuisine in London

“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”

“The pizzas were absolutely delicious and so were our starters. Lovely warm atmosphere and the guy that served us was really nice. All in all a highly enjoyable evening at this establishment.”

“Great food with an adorable personal touch. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and, upon arrival, we were greeted with a candle lit table, rose petals arranged into a love heart, and a bottle of chilled prosecco! Serious brownie points. The food was great with fresh salad and good quality juicy meat. An easy 5 stars!”

“I ordered here for the first time and I loved the food. The brown stew fish was so delicious and flavoursome, the rice and peas were tasty, the steamed vegetables were enjoyable and the dumpling was good. The dumpling was thrown in for free which was a nice touch. The portion sizes are very generous, really good value for money. I phoned the restaurant to see if the rice and peas were included with the brown stew fish and the woman on the phone was really warm and friendly. I've tried many Caribbean takeaways in East London and this one is by far the best. I would highly recommend!”

“Cozy and comfortable dining experience - almost feels like you're in your own living room. Had the hummus, falafel and lamb meshwieh and vegetable rice. They even gave us a free small desert at the end. Would definitely recommend!”

“I have so many good things to say about Kusadasi! For one, the food is fantastic, delicious and flavoursome which is only complimented by the generous portion sizes. The price of the food is standard for Turkish, so it is not expensive for what you get. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant feels like a nice family run place. Perfect for a dinner with a partner in the evening or even with a group of friends!”

“phenomenal food!!! If you want to drink beer or wine just go to the mini markey nearby and buy some. Thats what we did. Everything at this place was amazing. Everyone had a good time. Thier are no reservations so it's a first come first serve very small and intimate establishment. The service is fairly quick and great. The egg and tomato soup was delectable.”

“Reception was super warm and welcoming. Concierge (Idris I believe is his name) was super prompt and helpful securing a massage. Food was of course amazing. The room was very comfortable, clean, and modern with great AC. Thanks for an amazing stay!”

“Excellent takeaway option. I order from here whenever I'm in a 3 mile radius and it shows staff take extra care with orders. They also have imported drinks and sweets :)”

“Sara & Douglas have created a beautiful restaurant atmosphere at Locale. They were amazing with allergies and when I learnt the reason why I was even more touched. From the bar staff, waiters and chef they are so polite. I really enjoyed my meal there. A go to place to dine in Fulham and always thinks of the local community. I was very honoured when Sara kindly offered her venue to us for free to host a social and networking night for business and local residents for the benefit for the community.”

“The pizza's here were really delicious. They were stone baked, full of flavour with generous, yummy toppings. I made a large order for a family birthday and it arrived at our outdoor, park venue on time and pipping hot. Everyone commented on how tasty they were! I was also really impressed with the service and the friendliness of the staff and owner, they couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. I will definitely order again and will pop into the place as there is a small dining area, which I hadn't realised existed until recently. A really welcome addition to the food scene in West Ealing.”

“Really good pizza! A lot of places do this style pizza in London now but not all pull it off that well...the courgette and ricotta pizza was really nice and I'm not normally a fan of the white bases. Crust is huge on them which I personally love and the dips to go with it were great.”

“I don't often leave reviews but I just had to for Piccolos. This is the most god damn tasty pizza I've ever had! If you like a chunk of bread with sugary, watery, rankness on it, go get your dominos or pizza hut. If you like proper pizza, like it should taste, then you need a Piccolos pizza. My new firm favourite, I hope they don't mind the journey to my house as they will be regular visitors!”

“Soul food cooked with pride and love. I had the most delicious burrito, extra spicy. Great value for money. Great customer rapport. Highly recommended”

“Lovely food, great prices, interesting decor. Would definitely recommend it! I went for the "Rice n Three" with Paneer, Okra, and Mushroom & Spinach as my three curries. All were delicious”

“What a great place. Wide range of food on offer. I had chicken breast in a mushroom and cream sauce which was delicious. Service was excellent and prices reasonable. Highly recommended.”

“Absolutely loved the food! We had the shared starter platter and for mains tried the fettuccine and steaks. All of the food was amazing and both Veronica and the chef made our visit even better! Extremely lovely service and welcome. I had an amazing time and definitely recommend the ribeye steak with port and mushroom sauce!”

“Lovely new shop. They open at 10:00 but we were outside much earlier and without hesitation the lady unlocked the front door to let us in. Italian and Japanese deli. Everything looked fresh and the smells were making me hungry. We bought some pasta and sauces to give as a gift. We will go back for more and will try the tasting evenings they have.”

“One of the best kebab places ive tried, including haringay! Amazing for kent and surrounding areas. The other place which i coincidentally found out was theres, is SUTTON GRILL! Both amazing food and consistent! I get the three combo kebab and its moist, well cooked and flavoured and the portion can easily feed two people! Wow. Guys here are super friendly and always welcoming. Order ahead as they are ALWAYS busy and never seen less than 10 people in the shop and people are always spilling out of onto the pavement. This is a great testament to their quality and service! Thanks so much! You guys are the best! See you soon again! Asim”

“One the hidden gems in a not so busy areas of London. The place is a nice and small space for Indian food lovers. The menu is not too big but the taste is very nice for what you get served. The prices are also very reasonable. The chai is a must try for Indian chai lovers who miss the Desi taste.”

“Absolutely outstanding. One of the best tasting menus I have ever tried. The food just kept coming, plating was beautiful and the flavour were unusual but complemented each other perfectly. So well-balanced.”

“A delightful stay in St Leonards, started with a warm welcome check in. The room tastefully decorated had everything you needed, with additional touches of cookies and amenities. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the morning breakfast deliciously tasty. Would recommend and look forward to returning.”

“A really excellent experience. Fantastic restaurant with superb food and extremely friendly staff. My personal favorite dishes were the prawn toast (super creative dish) , the steak, prawn rice with a hot and sour soup (wow!!) and the fish bowl. Really lovely cocktails to compliment the dishes as well as a great wine selection, I had a great white wine. Cannot wait to visit again soon.”

“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.”

“Absolutely wonderful meal. The service was kind and attentive. The food was spectacular (our favourites were the prawns, the chicken curry and the daal). The drinks selection is really interesting and fun. It was lovely chatting to Francis, the manager, who clearly cares a lot about his guests. It's a new neighbourhood favourite and we'd recommend it highly.”

“Food is good as always, service too is excellent! Tarka Daal from here has become regular dish. I would also mention that they have a very good team of delivery personnel too. Todays delivery man named Mahi was kind enough to wait for me for 10 minutes till i got back home. Very good food outlet indeed!”

“THE BEST AUTHENTIC PUNJABI FOOD RESTAURANT IN GRAVESEND!!! LOVELY, AMAZING RICHNESS! I WILL BE BACK!”

“We took the roasted veg shakshuka, veg on toast, very berry shake and a latte. Everything was flavourful and well made. The portion is perfect for one and the menu is reasonably priced. The staff was courteous as well.”

“Oh my god. Their food is super good. I was also shocked by how much their serving is. They gave us a lot of food and our bill was decent. Will definitely come back againnn”

“Delicious food, also suitable for gluten free and veggie diets, without being health food crazy. Friendly and attentive serving staff. Really fantastic to have this so close by. Yummy Breakfasts and dinners. Thank you!”
