Old street dining in London

“As the organiser of a luncheon for a number of Toastmasters I am pleased to say our private dining experience could not have been more successful on the 26/10/2022. The food and service was excellent. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our group. Our waiter was excellent. I am based in Kent, how about opening a branch in Canterbury? Well done, hope to visit again one day. Trevor Smith Professional Toastmaster.”

“The best Vietnamese food in the Wandsworth. Lots of options. All noodle dishes are huge in portions and very delicious. Very quick service almost every time. Drinks are delicious as well. Prices are very good. I have been eating there countless times and I highly recommend it.”

“Amazing restaurant! The food was delicious, the service attentive and considerate. We had a delicious meze to start followed by kebabs and salad. Had to take quite a bit home as we were so full. A small restaurant, the staff were extremely helpful. Highly recommend.”

“My family and I have been going to this restaurant for over 35 yrs. it’s outstanding food and service are unbeatable. I now live in North London but treasure a visit to eat dinner here when I’m down seeing my parents.”

“Probably the best Indian food I’ve had, definitely nothing around Chingford as good. Awesome flavours in all dishes and always something free on the house on top of our order. Its also cheap! Genuinely awesome food. My wife doesn’t like flavours in food and hates spicy, but when she tried this food she was amazed! Loves Chicken Biryani and Tarka Dall. She tries all my foods(but she cries is spicy for her) Mr Naseeb as well a lovely guy!”

“Me and my boyfriend visited for his birthday yesterday and the service was absolutely amazing. All the staff were friendly and attentive. They gave him a free glass of prosecco and dessert and it made his day. 100% recommend!”

“This is one of my fav restaurant in London and it was my third time visit to the place. Food was as creative and tasty as always and service was also top notch. I would say it was a bit too creative on this time around but I think it’s good to be experimental. This is one of the fine dining restaurant you ca. go back multiple times and can enjoy each time perfectly. I like the woody cozy ambience and personally perfect for a date.”

“The best Ramen I've tried for many years, the bone broth was deep, creamy and delicious, the noodles had a lovely chewy, firmness to them. Make sure you add the soft-boiled egg that was seasoned to perfection. Partner had the vegan option that she loved. Slightly higher price than places using long life noodles, but the queue outside before they opened says it all.”

“The quality of the food matched the warmth of the staff. It was full of flavour and great portion sizes. It has the charm of an independent family run business so they want to look after you and make you feel welcome.”

“An amazing spot for a late night bite. Incredible flavours, super friendly staff and awesome vibes! Also really amazing fries and sauces alongside the mains. This place really stands out from your standard kebab shops, on quality, flavour and atmosphere. Will definitely return next time I end up partying in Shoreditch! Highly recommend.”

“Love this place. Old school but the fillings for the sandwiches are the best around.”

“Excellent service and staff. Very patient and helpful. Will explain the dishes to you. Great WiFi. Superrr aesthetic and cute cafe. Even their bathroom is painted cute. Have cute outdoor seating. Fresh flowers on each table. Many people eating here and enjoying their food, so it’s a popular spot. Clean bathroom. Free self serve water pitcher. My food came out quickly. Great location, near lots of street art. They have vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten free options. Large menu. Paid £6.50 for the salt beef sandwich. Just a little pricy for the size/portion of food we get; like I wish there was more salad or the sandwich was a bit bigger. Overall, great experience and would recommend. I would come again!”

“I have just discovered this really lovely cafe/restaurant on a trip to Chislehurst. My meal was delicious (good old fashioned shepherd's pie with vegetables). The prices were very reasonable and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. In my opinion The Chestnut is one of the best cafes/restaurants in London.”

“Needed a particular kitchen utensil for a birthday present and yes I could buy it online but I wanted to be able to see the item and have a feel of it before I bought it. Thankfully The Kitchen Range had this item and didn't mind me coming in and having a play with it before I bought it. I was also able to ask questions about it and speak to someone face to face. It was also cheaper in the shop than online and probably better quality too! Thank you for your help today and I will keep supporting a small business rather than online because of that personal touch that you don't get with online retailers unless you buy handmade.”

“I recommend a very nice and clean apartment. Very warm. Inside, 1 separate room with 3 spoons and one walk-through room with a fold-out bed. We were here in 5 people. Good location - close to the subway, metro station, tesco and pubs. A good starting point for exploring London. Nice contact. I recommend.”

“The best Sunday Roast you can get! Usual go to Air Street but came to Spitalfields instead. Exactly the same and just as good. Brought my own wine and paid £25 corkage! Will be back again!”

“Thai on Thames is such a hidden gem. The food is delicious and the staff are so lovely. Our favourites are the Pad Thai, massaman curry, fried cod in curry sauce and the calamari! Definitely try this place if you are in the area”

“Kibele Restaurant is not just a place to enjoy delicious Turkish food, but also an immersive and entertaining experience. The restaurant features live bands, a cabaret show, and an in-house DJ to keep the party going all night long. One of the standout dishes at Kibele Restaurant is their traditional lamb kebabs. These succulent skewers are cooked to perfection over an open flame and served with a side of rice and vegetables. Another must-try dish is the hummus, a creamy blend of chickpeas and spices served with warm pita bread. But the fun doesn't stop with just the food at Kibele Restaurant. The live bands and cabaret show add an extra level of excitement to the evening. The in-house DJ keeps the party going with a mix of popular hits and traditional Turkish music. And with secret surprises throughout the night, you never know what kind of excitement might be in store. If you're looking for a unique and memorable dining experience, Kibele Restaurant is the place to go. With delicious food, live entertainment, and a fun atmosphere, it's the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a night out with friends and family. So if you're in the Great Portland Street area, be sure to check out Kibele Restaurant for an unforgettable night of fun and delicious Turkish food.”

“Was the first time here and no way we were disappointed . From the moment we came through the door to a very warm welcome, until we left the service, was great, the food amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection and presented very well. We will definitely be going back. We booked before hand and that turned out to be a very good idea..”

“Great food. Got this yesterday (curry goat, rice & peas & coleslaw)…it’s sooo good, I’m going back today!!”

“Celebrated my brothers birthday here and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and they even surprised us with a candle on their dessert. The service was perfect, food was bought out fresh and delicious. The Lamb was my favourite. Cocktails are strong and tasty too.”

“Perfect place to come with friends! Everything was family style so you get to try a little bit of everything. Food was really delicious and so were the drinks. The wait can be long so be prepared to wait in line for about 30 min during dinner time. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Very personal service. Excellent food! Even gave a children's plate which is the first time I've seen a restaurant do that. Amazing. Highly recommend.”

“Take away pasta al dente. Just made for you. Portions are big and you can choose from five different recipes. At rush hour you will need to wait.”

“My parents were visiting me in London and I decided to take them to the Spitalfields/Shoreditch area. We were all hungry and after a lot of searching were drawn into this place after learning about the Italian roots that it was founded upon. It absolutely did not disappoint. The charming waitress who served us was incredibly knowledgeable, talking us through each wine and dish we chose, adding to the experience - she wad probably the best waitress i have ever had and clearly had a lot of passion for the food being produced there, which is hard to find (she was also from Florence - our favourite place in the world!) The food was absolutely incredible and although not super cheap, for the quality that you recieved it was first class and very reasonable. Beautiful decor and very classy atmosphere, a step away from the hustle and bustle of the market. A real treat to visit and we all loved. 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed and I wish this place all the success they deserve.”

“Some of the BEST food I've ever had. And my partner says this is the best hummus he's had in his life (and he loves hummus!) Everything was fantastic, every bite made us close our eyes in bliss. Prawn Baklava was another top favorite but honestly it's hard to choose. Can't wait to come back here.”

“Very good! Food was freshly cooked healthy and delicious. We had the Chicken Salad and Chips, Custard Flan and Chocolate cake. A first time here. We will be back.”

“Wow 1st visit to this gorgeous tucked away little pub, warmest welcome, great friendly customers, deffo be back. One of the mist delicious sauvignon blanc / Patterson. THANK YOU”

“Love this pub. The staff and the punters are very entertaining.”

“Amazing local pub, we love visiting here - such friendly vibes and so cozy on a Sunday afternoon. Nice to watch the odd football match here too. The roasts are amazing and so is the ever changing menu. Yesterday I wasn't drinking and they gave me a pint of blackcurrant soda on the house - whereas in most other London pubs they'll charge you a couple of quid - I was chuffed!”
