The Best Restaurants in Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

greatly recommended

nice albanian traditional kitchen

Came barking to visit family and we ate here. The place was very clean and the food was delicious and very welcoming staff

Really tasty home made food, greatly recommended!

The food is good here but not the best Indian food I’ve eaten. The restaurant is nice inside, particularly downstairs in the booths but we were made to wait at the door despite having a reservation and while people who just rocked up were given tables before us. Hit a table 20mins after our reservation time, that needs to be fixed. The service inside at the table was excellent and we were given some free starters because of the wait. Worth a visit if you’re in the area but arrive 10mins before your reservation to avoid the mess at the door.

Overall the food was good and the service was great. We got a table very quickly. The okra fries were really tasty (very small portion) but the other dishes tried lacked some flavour and spices. The place was crowded, the music was nice even though it was very loud from all the people talking. You can definitely get more authentic food for almost half the price at more local places but the experience is worth trying once I guess.

The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor, while the biryani was aromatic and absolutely delicious—one of the best I’ve had. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with a unique blend of modern and classic touches that made the experience even more special. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall great vibe.

Dined here on Thanksgiving while on a work trip to London. Lamb chops were so succulent, I am still thinking about them weeks later… great staff, very attentive service even though I was dining solo. The chocolate pudding dessert was unreal. Make sure to add this to your list and also make sure to snag a reservation since the line was out the door! Wish I had the time to dine here once a week if I could so to explore the rest of the menu offerings!

We enjoyed an outstanding dinner at the Sinabro restaurant, where every dish was not only delicious but also artfully presented. Each bite was a delightful experience, showcasing a blend of flavors that danced on our palates. The ambiance added to the charm of the evening, making it a truly memorable outing. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Delightful Dining Experience at Sinabro I had a fantastic experience at Sinabro in London! From the moment I walked in, the warm and intimate atmosphere set the stage for a memorable meal. The staff were attentive and welcoming, making sure we were comfortable and well-informed about the menu. The food was exceptional — each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The combination of French cooking techniques with subtle Korean influences was a refreshing twist that worked incredibly well. I particularly enjoyed the perfectly cooked fish and the well-balanced sauces that complemented each dish. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation was clear, and it made for an unforgettable dining experience. Sinabro is a gem for anyone who enjoys refined, creative cuisine in a relaxed, cozy environment. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back!

Small restaurant but packs a punch. I actually think they are undercharging. £55 for the chef’s menu was more than worth the money. Iv eaten in some restaurants charging £75/80 for the same. The menu is limited but when the food is well thought out and put together then it doesn’t matter. There wasn’t a bad dish.

Michelin quality food and restaurant in the heart of Battersea. Great service and tasty food. The flavours were fantastic. The interment setting added to the ambiance. We will be back.

Visited this restaurant for the first time after seeing the reviews and it being local. I would of never of known it was here! From the moment of entering the service was second to none. Very polite and warming waitresses. Hats off to the chef! Even after I asked for some adjustments to the dish on the menu. I loved the amount of seafood included in the pasta. Nothing worse than having to seek prawns out. The food was delicious. There were two birthdays being celebrated whilst I was here and the staff go all out. It's lovely to see this so genuine. It is reasonably priced too which was really nice. It definitely delivers! Great for a date or a family meal. Cannot wait to come back thank you ladies!!!!

A small, nice place with good food and friendly staff. We'll be back!

What an amazing restaurant, food was absolutely sublime, beautiful presentation and the taste… wow. Fantastic service and everyone was really kind and friendly. I will be back!!!!

An excellent genuine Italian with excellent service and great food! Intimate with a family atmosphere.

Highly recommended! The food was delicious, we ordered several items, and everything was so tasty and well cooked. The vibe was wonderful and warm. Our server, Alina, was so kind and attentive! She was amazing and made our experience top notch.

I had a lovely late lunch with the kids. They enjoyed the food especially the rip and dips. All three dips were so tasty. The bream was delicious! Our lovely waiter Eve made definitely made the whole experience more relaxed and enjoyable. She gave us great recommendations which were perfect for us!

Lovely take on Mediterranean cuisine brought into the modern world. A fairly concise menu that's easy to navigate, and dishes with vibrancy, colour and bursting with flavours. We ended up going for Marcus' Choice (*see note below) which gave a great variety of dishes, including the Rip and Dip Platter with two extra Toasted Pita, Baked Beetroot, Pan-Fried Halloumi, Charred Celeriac, Crispy Aubergine Skewer, Potato Chips, Crispy Calamari, Pan Seared Bream, Grilled Pork Rib-Eye, Baklava Sandwich and Chocolate Brownie *My only niggle would be for four people at £42 pp, so £168, I totalled the value of the dishes above to be £140.8. Even though it's nice not to think, I feel like this is too far undervalued. So I would recommend essentially the above for 4 people, swapping some Mezze dishes where preferred. A selected dessert each would make this option better, instead of sharing two perhaps. But the food was delicious, and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

Brother Marcus’s brunch had a unique blend of Mediterranean and English cuisine. I quite enjoyed the jam served with the fried chicken rösti. I’d say the shakshuka was the standout dish. The dessert brioche was a bit too sweet for me and hid the flavors they were going for. One thing of note were the ergonomics of the cup for coffee and the water bottles. They were hard to grip on full, and the coffee handle was far too small for anyone with normal-sized hands and grip strength. This can be overcome by holding the plate and drinking the coffee. Good food overall. Troublesome cutlery. Service was nice, although perhaps the waiters came and asked if we wanted more food and drink a bit too many times. Would recommend.

Fluffy bun. Meaty smashed patty cooked right, not tough not breaking apart! Sauce not soaking the bun but enough to give the patty a kick. Chips are quality, crispy and super fluffy potato inside. Only feedback, we got 3 meals but only received one of each of their 3 sauces, could have done with 2 or 3 sets at least. All meals are decent size! Real good food.

A very under rated burger spot. I've had loads of burgers in my time and recently loads of burger spots have opened up, most charging over £12 for just a burger to eat in your car. Thankfully, this spot does some of the best value burgers you can get without compromising on quality and taste. I've had burgers from here 3 times during Ramadan, as this place is right around the corner from my house. Those were takeaway, this time I ate in and got more things. Brisket Borough (Beef) £11.99 Magic Mushroom (Veg) £6.49 Classic London (Beef) £7.49 P-Jammy (Beef) £7.99 Hot Chick (Chicken) £7.49 Soho Sirlion £14.99 Potato Mess £4.99 The burgers are fantastic and such great value for money. The standard classic Beef is only £7.49, that's a double Angus beef patty, a strong beefy flavour balanced with the right amount of sauce. They have unique burgers, the P-Jammy is a take on peanut butter and jelly, I didn't think I'd like this but I loved the sweetness of the jelly mixed with the texture of peanut butter and the flavour of beef. The hot chick was a perfectly freshly cooked fried chicken filet, soft and juicy with that perfect crunch. The mushroom burger was a wildcard and I liked the flavours, I'd be happy to order this again. The Brisket Sandwich was nice as well, soft pulled brisket with that melted cheese. I wasn't a fan of the steak and chips, but the burgers are what this place is about. Every burger I ate was delicious and I can't recommend this spot enough.

The food was delicious, the burgers were so juicy and flavoursome without the brioche bun overpowering the meat and vice versa which is sometimes the case in a lot of these burger joints. There is a big variety of choices all with their own unique authentic flavours and taste. With all that said, the prices are affordable for the quality in comparison to a lot of these other burger shops opening up. The service was excellent and it came very quickly. 10/10

This is the trendiest place in Barking.Staff is always polite and friendly.Nice view of River Roding from the terrace,plus they have my favorite cider which is very hard to find.

What a brilliant hidden gem,l. Just what barking needs. We popped in about 2pm ish on a Saturday, the staff were polite and well mannered. The clientele was just how i like it which was people who appreciate a nice local business and enjoy the trouble free socialising. There are plenty of drinks to choose from. We went for a few different types of Ales. They do a bit of hot food too. You can sit inside or out. The toilet was clean. They do quiz nights and some live music i believe on certain nights. Definitely worth a visit.

Stopped off for a coffee and a pint, arrived just as they opened, had a lovely chat with the owner (Del Boy). I wish you all the success in your business, you deserve it. Very chilled out vibe, worth a visit

An uncut gem of a place this bar is. This quaint cafe and bar is off the beaten path as it is too far away from the hustle and bustle of the main Barking town area. Considering the location, this cafe serves the artistic community nearby and therefore has a character of its own. We had a coffee and a glass of wine that we enjoyed sitting outside while taking in the view of the canal. The lady and gentleman who were managing the place are laidback and polite. They were playing uno while the customers were chilling at the place, and that was a nice thing to see. This is a place just to chill and unwind. So if you happen to stumble upon this place, I would recommend grabbing a drink and just relax for a bit. It's worth it.

I had a great experience at The Table Battersea! The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Definitely Instagram-worthy dishes! Prices are very competitive for London, which was a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere was lively, with a younger crowd, making it a fun spot to hang out. The only downside was the service—while friendly, it was a bit slow. Overall, though, it’s a great place to enjoy good food in a trendy setting.

We had a great time attending a Halloween event for dogs (Paws at the Table) here! We ate from the brunch menu and enjoyed the vegan burger and a fried chicken burger, along with 2 tasty coffees. The truffle fries smelled and tasted great, and something about the fries chicken burger felt really elevated - maybe whatever the sauce was? The vegan burger was also yummy. The staff was great, very attentive, and the decor was really chic. I loved the sofa seating, too. The dog event was good fun and I love being able to go to places where my dog can come along! The only slightly "meh" was the mango sticky rice - it was a bit bland and didn't include the delish condensed milk syrup that most mango sticky rice includes. I'd recommend trying something else, is all. Otherwise we had a good time here!

I’d rate higher than 5 stars if I could!! I booked here for me and friend to eat at one of the Omakase mystery menu nights they held and I was more than impressed - service, food, drinks and atmosphere were all top tier! From the off set walking in, the hostess who greeted us and sat us at our table was super friendly and very knowledgeable on the menu. The food and presentation was impeccable, you can tell the chefs have a real passion to make each dish as amazing as the last! And lastly, the cocktails they had to offer were delicious and so many of them I’d never heard of before - if you’re someone who likes a cocktail…this is the place to go! Thanks for having us!! We’ll definitely be back for your brunch!!

Since I discovered this little gem in London I can get enough of their food, I had the pleasure to dine here 3 times in a month!! I’m Italian and I lived in Rome for 8 years and trust me when I tell you that this is the best Roman food I’ve ever tasted!! I’m not even able to recommend you one dish because everything is delicious and the service is 10/10, everyone is so nice and kind at the point that It feels like home. Roberto and Beatrice are amazing but I want to mention the whole staff but unfortunately I don’t recall all their names. This became my fav Italian restaurant in London.

Taverna Trastevere has a cozy, welcoming vibe with friendly staff and a good selection of wines. The Cacio e Pepe is creamy and well-seasoned, perfect for pasta lovers. The dessert trio offers a delicious variety, each one sweet and satisfying. A great spot for a classic Roman meal.

Amazing food. The best carbonara i’ve had. The desserts are absolutely delicious as well. Could not fault this restaurant. A little bit in the middle of nowhere for me, but honestly the travel there was so worth it. I’ll be dreaming of this food for a while and i will definitely be going there again.

Beautiful venue, love the small details like the cork walls and the wine crates used as shelves. Was there on a breeze date and was served by Jess who was attentive polite and honestly the best server I've experienced in awhile, definitely a gem to that place. I think the pick 3 offer comes with a stingy amount of jam and gherkins but with current rise in cost with delivery items I'm also not surprised. I had a wonderful time and would definitely visit again

We've had an amazing time here. The first time I saw this place I was walking by and it caught my eye, but it was fully booked. Tonight I managed to have an aperitivo and It was a great experience: great wine, good food, very accommodating staff. Shout out to Anna, thank you for guiding us through your wine selection, and Nicolas the manager. We'll be back

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, we had Ana helping us chosing beers and helping us with food!The staff here really know their stuff and are incredibly helpful. We were fortunate enough to have assistance from a staff member while selecting our wine and food. They offered wonderful suggestions that perfectly suited our tastes. We were extremely pleased with the choices we made, all thanks to their expertise. Highly recommend this place!

I recently visited Humble Grape with my girlfriend and a friend, and we had a wonderful experience overall. We tried three bottles of wine, two of which were absolutely fantastic, though one wasn’t quite to our taste—but no big deal there. The food was enjoyable, though I might have indulged in a bit too much cheese, which left my stomach feeling unsettled the next day. That said, the atmosphere was great, and our host, Nicolas, was exceptional—very attentive and welcoming. I’d definitely recommend Humble Grape, especially for the wine and the excellent service!
