Reviews in London

The food is not too bad. It's not the sort of place you go to have a great meal, but its the perfect place to go mid-week, to chill out and take a break. I went with my boyfriend and we sat outside. Candlelight, wine, open air--- it's really relaxing. If you feel like going out in the middle of the week to calm down, it's a great place to go.

great place for pizza or pasta a very good italian in london

We actually had the intention of going to Nikita’s for a Russian meal but we spent three hours looking for it and somehow we ended up in Kensington. The nice owner of a Russian shop told us Erebuni was around here but failed to mention that it was actually inside a hotel! Luckily we bumped into a man who was staying in the hotel and we asked him for directions, and he dutifully informed us we had to go into the hotel and downstairs. Hell to find, but well worth it. I’ve never actually been to Russia but I was told that the décor was very authentic - low lighting, hearty colours like red on green. We came at a bit of an awkward time and we were the only diners at the restaurant, which was fine with us. My date decided to order for me since I knew nothing of Russian cuisine, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. She started me off with something safe: an ukha po-domashnemu (clear fish broth), which was fine, but with the Russian bread as an accompaniment really I wanted something more savoury so I ended up trading for her mysnaya solyanka (sour meat soup - almost a porridge). She was afraid that I wouldn’t like it but I actually really enjoyed it. The flavour was unlike anything I had ever eaten - packed with spices and a strong zesty punch. I do admit it is a bit of a refined taste, and I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. For the main I had kartoshka (fried potatoes with creamed onions and mushrooms). I was shocked that I enjoyed a vegetarian dish so much since I considered myself a hardcore carnivore, but this was simply amazing. Potatoes are such versatile vegetables but I can’t remember a dish better utilising it than this one. My favourite of the evening. For dessert we both had a napoleon (Russian pastry filled with whipped cream). Deliciously flaky and light, but didn’t feel much different from any other pastries. I still finished the whole thing however (perhaps I shouldn’t have, the portions were quite large) with some Armenian coffee to balance off the rich and sweetness. The waitress was great, spoke perfect Russian to my date and probably made some jokes at my expense. ;) The soundtrack to the evening was some repeats of cheesy Russian pop, which was fine since I didn’t understand a thing but apparently the lyrics were terrible. Worth a visit if you want to venture down into the Russian underworld but don’t dare to go to Piter.

I've had Sunday Lunch here twice in the last year. It's good pub food, reasonably priced, and right by Covent Garden. It gets really busy and you have to wait for a table to come free and then get to it before anybody else does! Which can be a bit of a hassle. They were serving hot mulled wine when I was there in December 2006. Very nice!

We had an excellent meal here in May 2007 before going over to the Adelphi. The Pie Restaurant caught our eyes and our noses! There was plenty of choice and at reasonable prices, around £7-9. The only negative was the service. The place was full and there were only 2 girls waitressing AND serving at the bar! The bar was covered in dirty glasses that had been collected, we queued for ages to put our order in and couldn't get their attention during the meal at all. Despite this the food came quickly and was delicious. We would go again although I hope the manager employs more staff to cover a busy bank holiday saturday night!

Have eaten here quite a few times and have to say the food is really good, the staff are very friendly and if you want to try more authentic Thai dishes ask for the Thai menu! They also sell Chang Beer not just Singha.

What a litte gem this restaurant is! We were so pleased we found it, off the beaten track, away from all the names and chains of Oxford Street and the area. Authentically Iranian, swift service and extremely reasonably priced. It was great to watch the bread being made in the oven just inside the door. Will definitely seek this place out again!

It is highly recommended Korean restaurant in London Soho. Many Chinese and Japanese people come to this restaurant. Not too many Koreans... I would like to recommend Dumpling(Gyuja)and Kalbi(BBQ beef ribs), Bibimbap(hot stonebowl) Friday, Saturday are too busy. Maybe you have to book before coming there.

A frequent this cafe with my work colleagues, the curries are exceptionally good and very inexpensive. The staff are friendly and professional. Pop by the Alwyne opposite for a drink on your way home - a perfect night out for cheap!

CJ's is famous for it's wholesome English breakfast. It also serves the most fantastic Malaysian and Thai food for lunch. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. I'm a regular for 14years! Highly recommended.

This is my favourite Indian restaurant. Small, but with very friendly waiters and really good food that will never let you down. Good for romantic dinners as is not crowded and never noisy. They also have takeaway.

Richoux on Brompton Road is one of my favourite restaurants, and I make a point of going there whenever I visit London (whether I decide to walk across the street to Harrods or not!). Richoux has the most comfortable, casual elegance in ambience and decor, has great servers who are always pleasant, and, of course, good food. I confess I have not been to Richoux for dinner, but for breakfast, lunch or tea, it is one of the most comfortable places for a solo-traveling female to dine. I think many local residents are customers there, as well -- and that says a lot to me. I took some pictures this time (April 2007) so I can remember the look and feel of Richoux til the next time!

I had a chance to visit this intimate latin infused salsa club while on holiday in London and had a great time with my friends. The music was great and so was the service.

Visitors to London should avoid the centre and head to Belsize park for this intimate dining experience. Exquisite food, friendly staff and great prices. Start with crab then venture into the duck with amazing salt sculptures to tease the eye from the sensory overload one gets from the sheer array of spices tingling the tastebuds. Heated outside tables will be welcomed by smokers once the ban arrives on 1st July! HIGH POINTS: eclectic menu and decent wine list. LOW POINTS: limited access for physically disabled diners.

This is a little gem of a fish and chip restaurant tucked away off the Whitechapel Road. everything is fresh, nicely cooked and presented well with a good East-end friendly atmosphere. One of the best that I've tried. Lots of grilled choices so you don't have to have fried stuff.

Lovely warm atmosphere on a rainy, grey spring day! The young staff were welcoming and seemed pleased to help and give advice on items on the menu (which catered to all tastes, including vegetarians, I noticed). Service was prompt and courteous. My partner and I decided to move directly into our main course, although the selection of starters was adequate. My wild mushroom risotto was really lovely! Served in a good sized plain white plate, it was served piping hot and carefully decorated. I could smell the mushroom aroma before my first forkful, and I was not disappointed. In my experience, it's fairly unusual to be able to pick out the freshness of the ingredients, these days. I could taste every piece of mushroom and the stock was definitely home-made. The Parmesan was used discreetly - no drowning out the other tastes in this dish! My partner chose the lamb. It was very nicely presented and, judging by the clean plate, this too was a highly successful choice! We had a long drive ahead, so chose not to have any of the wines. There's a more than adequate choice, though. Finally, the highlight of a truly good meal . . . the chocolate tartlets. If these were the only item on the menu, they would be sufficient reason to return to The Enterprise!

My husband and I had dinner at MU last night. As I had read many good reviews I thought the place would be perfect for a romantic gourmet dinner. We had a cocktail beforehand in the MJU BAR, The French "Garcon" gave us good advice on the menu and wines. I was a bit disappointed by the restaurant room which was too big and lacked "personality". We had the the Taster Menu, with the Taster wines. The food was an absolute delight, and the wines were perfectly appropriate. Service was amazing, waiters and waitresses everywhere. As soon as your plate was empty it was gone. I would definitely recommend MJU if you want a Gourmet evening. But if you are looking for a romantic meal, it is not the right restaurant, as there always is someone looking over your shoulder and there are no cosy little corners to hold hand while eating

Absolutely gobsmackingly chop-licking food. For ex-HongKongers who miss good homecooking. The chilli sauce which may be supplied on request is more-ishly sweet, then tangy then wham-bam-kick on the tongue. Every dish excels and I'll watch the weight creep on as I eat my way through the menu. My personal favourite - the wonderful Hainan chicken rice is reminiscent of the Malaysian hawker markets with a pungent raw garlic finish to the additional side-sauce. You see the ravenous homesick overseas students, the romantic lovers, the sophisticated morsel-tasters, pallid office-workers, busy Holborn executives, bored housewives, note-taking critics all here for their fix of Oriental food. You get service with personality here from the friendly attentive all-female staff. Pricewise the cost is more than normal but the dishes are almost double-size, they are great value overall. Heavenly! Go now.
