Traditional cuisine restaurants in London

“Vesuvio's did not disappoint us for our Valentines meal. Great portion sizes and excellent friendly service with a smile. I had the bruschetta to start which was so good, the balance of the garlic and dressing with the sharpness of the tomatoes was perfect. For mains I wanted the seafood risotto which wasn't on the special valentines menu but they were so accommodating and said they would give me it anyway and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked and perfectly emulsified making it decadent and creamy also very generous with the seafood. For dessert I had Tiramisu, again proper nice and creamy. Lovely soft biscuits soaked in coffee that tasted so clean, cold and fresh. We will be coming back 100% Keep it up Vesuvio's you're doing such a good job at creating an amazing, relaxing atmosphere.”

“Amazing new restaurant on Askew Road. Fantastic Sunday lunch. The host and owner Giulia is very knowledgeable and friendly. The food is delicious. Traditional and yet original Italian cuisine. Fresh homemade pasta and high quality ingredients. Highly recommended!!! Can’t wait to go back soon…”

“Loved it. The Korean BBQ is brilliant and well priced. We took our own wine as the corkage was only £2 but I had a Korean beer which was very tasty. Service was impeccable, very polite and lots of questions and able to help with our questions. Great experience having dinner cooked within inches of you and a cooker plate per table!”

“Great value food. So much food on your plate. Relaxing ambience. Lovely service.”

“The food is so tasty. The yam and fried fish is the best I have tasted from an African takeaway. I can't wait to try the other dishes on the menu. Lovely and friendly staff. Great service.”

“Ambience 10/10 Vibe 10/10 People 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Food so good that we had to order some more of the same 10/10 We wish you the best, can’t wait to come back next. Go tell you’re friend to tell their friends that postbox is the best”

“Brilliant - that's all. Kat and Alan catered for our party of 80 people at an outside venue and absolutely everyone raved about the food! Great communication, easy to work with - and they even boxed up and delivered the leftovers! Can't recommend highly enough.”

“Went here for the first time on Wednesday and was back on Friday for my wife's birthday. It is in a different league to you standard Indian. The chef is brilliant, a true gentleman and produces outstanding food. I can't recommend it enough.”

“Incredible presentation and even more incredible flavour. The shashlik is to die for...Amazing service too! The very best of Georgian cuisine in London--highly recommended!”

“Having been ordering from here for years now, since they opened! I am half Persian so know about good Persian food as my dad is an amazing cook and this restaurant has top quality food and it’s always cooked to perfection every time I order or dine in. The koobideh and joojeh is my favourite but for a stew I always have gormeh sabzi. The chips are really nice too. I have also had catering from them for a party and as usual they gave a great service! Highly recommend.”

“A recent addition to the Hendon catering scene, and a welcome change. Makes me feel almost family each time I visit. Not the cheapest, but worth the wait for unhurried preparation of amazing pizza! Check the somewhat unusual spelling on the menu. Not a huge choice as yet, but getting better as the client base evolves. Regular readers of my observations will know I'm very fussy about coffee, and here does not disappoint either.”

“food were served hot & scrumptious! so nice to eat during cold season. The staff was really nice & has great customer service skill. the shop was a bit hidden. but very close to Queensway station. totally recommended.”

“Great family atmosphere and authentic tasty Italian food,beef lasagne was 10/10!”

“We were told this was the best Indian Restaurant in London and they were right! From the beautiful decor to the super accommodating and friendly staff, this place is a must! The Chicken Lollipops were the most delicious wings we have ever had. The Buttery Chicken was just as good. We will definitely be coming back! Great experience!”

“Awesome place! Brand new restaurant with amazing food, great prices, and the most friendly staff!!! 100/10”

“First time trying Ethiopian cuisine, went here clearly because of the reviews. Small place and area doesn’t look very welcoming but let that not fool you as authentic feel, family atmosphere and definitely home made food which was delicious and very friendly staff are 10/10. Very recommended, don’t forget to order spiced tea after food Thank you, will be back one day.”

“This was actually my first time trying Georgian food and I have to say it was absolutely fantastic, so much so I went again shortly after to try something different. I would highly recommended the Acharuli Khachapuri and Chefs special, both were absolutely delicious and I would definitely have them again. The restaurant itself is both casual and cosy with simple, clean decor that felt warm and welcoming. The layout gives each table it's own personal space and is lovely for casual lunch or dinner with friends and loved ones. Table service was outstanding, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Excellent recommendations with the option to taste the wine as well. Both times I had a wonderful, relaxing evening. Would highly recommend.”

“It is very delicious. To say the truth rates may be slightly above average, but for this level of the restaurant, in my opinion, they are more or less normal. I strongly recommend you to come here because the time spent in this restaurant has a good sense of celebration.”

“Hidden gem! Great variety of dishes, they can adjust the spice level to taste. Chairs are super comfy, perfect atmosphere for a date night. We’ve ordered a meat combo - just watch out because if you do, you don’t choose the combination. We accidentally ordered more dishes thinking they were included, but they weren’t. In the end we got a discount and delicious leftovers, so overall still a great experience! Will definitely be back.”

“This is a two Michelin star restaurant in east London so prices are high but definitely worth it. The dishes have a Brazilian background but with a fusion twist and, for lunch, you can choose between a five and nine courses meals. We went for the 5 courses with wine tasting and it was delicious I have to say. It's very small but with a very nice atmosphere. You can also see the kitchen and the magic they do behind lthe counter. The staff is very polite and prepared. Definitely worth going if you like fine dining experiences.”

“Great Afghani hostmanship coupled with uniquely Afghan food. Had vegetarian Afghan food - awesome new experience for my palate!! Kudos to the Manager for retaining his Afghan hostmanship in lovely London!!”

“Delicious flavours of beautifully presented foods. Friendly helpful staff. A lovely culinary experience.”

“Good Lordy that was good! Absolutely delicious food. Fantastic wine pairings. And even better service. The whole thing was a Saturday afternoon treat. Will definitely be back to try one of their other menus. Do yourself a favour and get down to Nest. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Amazing location, just opposite Bromley south station! Staff were very friendly, generous and caring! Food was phenomenal, portion sizes were very generous ! Very luxurious and atmospheric inside, feels like a very expensive restaurant but all the prices are very good and reasonable for what portions you get! Music was good, not too loud, so we could still talk amongst ourselves, We went on their opening day and for their first day it was a very good experience, I would for sure recommend this place to anyone! I’ll for sure be back again, not once, not twice but many times in the near future!”

“A true family run authentic restaurant. The owners put their hearts and souls into it and it really shows in the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere.”

“Delicious food and incredibly kind staff. Had a lovely experience with really authentic food!”

“Very friendly team, excellent food, go the extra length to please customers, will try their Sunday roast next time”

“We were meant to go here a couple of years ago then the pandemic hit so it got delayed. It was tricky to book as it's so popular but we got a table for lunch and decided to each have a different tasting menu so we could try everything on offer. The service was brilliant, the food was sublime. The offer of a cheese course before the desserts was very welcome, and the selection of cheeses was great.”

“Absolutely loved our first time here and coming again with friends! Gorgeous service lovely Team yummy food (thank you to the kitchen team) excellent wine and very good value - very happy to have you in Limehouse !! Keep up the excellent standards!”
