Top 30 Best Traditional cooking styles in London

“Very tasty regional Chinese food. The staff were friendly and attentive. I'll definitely go again the next time I'm in London. The pictures are, the noodles: number 40, 岐山臊子汤面 and the sandwich/burger: number 26, 腊汁肉夹馍”

“First time in here , the Gekikara is super good. Noodle cooked very well as we asked for.   And the way to pay throughout the QR code it super convenient. Highly recommended”

“First visit today, not busy as it was near closing time. We had the Two Pork Tonkotsu and Chicken Paitan. Staff were all friendly, nice and helpful. Pleasant atmosphere. The Udon is absolutely delicious and freshly made. We didn't have to add any condiments as the flavour were perfect for us. Truly enjoyable. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.”

“Now listen, I’ve been to a lot of cafe’s in my time, specifically in the south east London area, and is this the best? Of course not, that’d be Sal’s Cafe in foots cray, but was it very nice with lovely and quick service, yes absolutely. In conclusion, I take myself very seriously when it comes to reviewing cafe’s and I’ve become infamous for my world renowned 1- Sal’s cafe rating system, and in the case of Ozzie’s Diner, they’re going to be taking away an 8, which is no doubt respectable. Thank you for reading, you’re welcome.”

“I came in with an obscure query, poorly describing an Icelandic buttery product that is impossible to describe. Within minutes the lovely shopkeeper had located the Norwegian version of this buttery product. I have had it on my toast this morning and feel so happy to have located this. Thanks so much!”

“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.”

“Reunion diner with ex colleagues, what a treat. Plush surroundings and attentive staff. One of our party chose this restaurant as he loved the lobster, unfortunately on this visit it was off the menu; there goes "my initial" choice of surf & turf. I chose scallops to start and sea-bream to follow. The scallops were succulent and sweet and the bream was so expertly filleted that at first I thought it was the complete fish. The bill was a little eye-watering but this was a special occasion and we had a great time so it was worth it.”

“Don't let the presentation dissuade you from going here - the flavour was wonderful. The pizza was very light and the ingredients tasted fresh. The crust looks very thick, but the base layer is actually incredibly thin. The staff was nice and all spoke Italian, adding to the authenticity of the restaurant and pizza. Would definitely go back.”

“The pizza is always great here to the last bite. They’re sourdough pizza and taste amazing. Fluffy in the middle and crispy crust. They don’t usually have a soggy base either.”

“Great authentically Italian dishes. The tomato bruschetta is a must try”

“The pizza at Mamma Mia is by far the best around Islington. You can taste the freshness, and I particularly like the taste of Gorgonzola with walnuts and spinach. Can’t get it anywhere else in London. Had the Tiramisu twice and it’s always been freshly made on the day. Little gem of a restaurant.”

“As far as pizza goes, Pizza Pilgrims deserved a definite 5 stars. With unique options (including vegetarian and vegan ones), both pizzas I tried had amazing flavor, the perfect amount of goey cheese, and were just the right size to leave me feeling satisfied. My mate and I ordered the the 8-Cheese and Double Pepperoni & Spicy Honey pizzas. As someone who doesn’t tend to like pepperoni pizza, I really enjoyed this one. The spicy honey added a perfect kick and the pepperoni had just the right amount of crisp. For the 8-cheese, the sweet chili jam absolutely made it, and complete with the tableside chili oil was perfect. Splitting the two pizzas offered the perfect contrast between the different flavors as well. The dough was crispy on the outside but still a bit softer and chewy on the inside which is exactly how I like it. I have yet to find a better place for pizza and London, and honestly, this was better than any pizzas I experienced when last in Italy either.”

“The food speaks for itself chicken egusi soup pounded yam was unreal and the patties were really good as well I'll be back”

“I've used this takeaway for many years. I had a problem recently. On my next visit the lady behind the counter not only recognised me but also remembered my complaint. She made amends by giving me a complimentary dish. Great hospitality. Will definitely go there again.”

“First time visiting and I was amazed by the humbleness from the staff. Very kind and welcoming. When the food was served I was amazed by how generous the portion was. The meat was cooked perfectly. I would recommend coming here not only because the food was amazing but because of the general vibe, location and Halal.”

“Lovely authentic tapas restaurant. Excellent dessert menu including Churros and Creme Catalan. We had tapas including freshly grilled sardines and octopus in garlic. Delicious”

“This is one of the best Korean Fried Chicken I had in UK!!! I ordered half half - Original and Soya garlic and it was amazing!! Original was very crispy and soya garlic was very addictive and authentic. The chicken quality was very good and juicy. The radish pickle was also very good. They made it freshly so it is definitely worth waiting especially during busy times.”

“Five of us went to Frantoio's for a Sunday birthday lunch. This was our first time here and certainly not out last! We were greeted as we walked in. We were seated on a round table by the window. The decor is pretty and light. The ambiance is pleasant and relaxed. We ordered from the a la carte and lunch menu. On the table we already had water, bread sticks, olives and fresh bread in baskets. The food came out hot and timely. I had the spaghettini with tomatoes - a large portion of delicious pasta cooked to perfection! The rest of our group had a mixture of pasta, fish and meat dishes. The food was superb and so tasty. As this was a double birthday celebration the staff sang happy birthday and served us a profiterole birthday 'cake' with candles. A lovely touch. We weren't hurried, the atmosphere was very relaxed. The bill was mid price. Very good value for money. This restaurant is located on the King's Road nearer to World's End than Sloane Square. Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes! I will return to try out the rest of menu. A touch of Italy in the heart of Chelsea!”

“An exceptional Korean BBQ place! Welcomed by friendly staff who took care of us throughout the entire culinary experience. The food was just delicious. I have experienced a variety of authentic Korean flavors. The ambiance of the place is very simple yet pleasant. Great food, good energy. Must visit. Ahh, and yet another thing... This is probably one of the few restaurants I have visited recently whose menu is adequately and reasonably priced. I will be back for sure!”

“Had great lunch with my wife. Nice food. Sweet waitress and lovely time. Price accordingly, but happy to pay for a good meal”

“An authentic experience surrounded by great staff and exceptionally good food. A flavours bomb awaiting to shake up your senses. I was truly surprised by a bouquet of flavours that is almost a mix of Chinese and Mediterranean cousins. Definitely to try. Nevertheless to discover more about this culture, nowadays so much in the news due to very worrying political reasons.”

“Had a wonderful dinner at Lokanta tonight. The environment is beautiful and our server, Tanya, took amazing care of us. It was clear both she and the chef cared a lot about flavours, presentation, and personalisation. All in all, the service and the flavours were phenomenal, and I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!”

“I’ve been to many Turkish restaurants in London and I have to say that this ranks at the top. The chicken was extremely soft and juicy, the lamb chops and lamb sish were cooked to perfection and the Adana had interesting herbs. Overall the meat was very juicy. I’d recommend mixed grill as the main and the Hummus with Lamb as the starters. Also their garlic and Chili sauce was very good!”

“Eaten here a few times. Food is superb and the staff are really welcoming.”

“What's not to love - excellent food at a great price!! I've eaten in and taken away at frencho's and have been thoroughly impressed both times. There's a noticeable difference when food is made with care, and the service is also top notch. Will definitely be recommending this place and suspect it will become a regular destination! Food could be a little spicier :p”

“Authentic South Indian food at pre pandemic prices! Good service. Hope they keep the quality consistent. Lots of items in menu, pleasantly surprised most items were of expected quality.”

“This was a new restaurant we tried very nice Food was very good spices that you could taste one of our best ones we have been to they have four restaurants in the street brick lane dose have a variety of different areas of Indian with different tastes we are going back next week and will be trying a different one”

“Really loved it at Mortar + Pestle, delicious food and good value (mains are around £10-15). We enjoyed piping hot vegetable spring rolls (though an even number to share would have been better), a Tom yum prawn noodle soup, and a Thai green prawn curry. All the prawns come shelled which is great, but the curry portion was rather small and doesn’t come with rice - that is £3 extra. The staff advised this upfront as I was ordering, which was nice. We came for a quick bite to eat and a long catch-up, so didn’t try much else but the menu was extensive and I definitely want to return and order heaps more! What we did order was very flavoursome, and packed with juicy prawns and fresh vegetables.”

“Excellent food , best kababs Ever ,we are happy with the service ,food and music , usually visit once or twice a week .”
