“I don’t care where you live in London, just pick a night and go. I’d heard about Shankeys a couple of times from people and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Food was to die for. Oysters were the best I’ve ever had, cauliflower prata was unbelievable. Fish was perfect and potatoes arguably best I’ve ever had too. Cocktails were fantastic, wine was beautiful. The place itself is so homely, and very obvious nods to friends and family dotted around the gaff. Service was 10/10. I was slightly skeptical by somewhere with 5/5 Google reviews but it ain’t BS! The real deal.”

What a place! Service was fun and casual, drinks were well mixed and unpretentious and the food was all incredibly tasty and had some really interesting combinations you won’t have had before. Such an impressive place, priced in a way that didn’t feel like they were taking the mic! Great night out

Unreal food and service at Shankeys last night. The vindaloo pork was genuinely the best pork I have ever eaten. Big shout out to the oysters, buttery spuds and cauliflower cheese too. All round lovely atmosphere and will 1,000,000,000% be back.

Best food I have had in a while. Order everything. Nothing disappoints. Cocktails are great. Food is amazing. Service 10/10. You can tell these guys are passionate about what they offer. Highly recommend. It was quite warm with an open kitchen so wear layers!

Beautiful little restaurant with Indian-Irish menu. The pork was amazingly tender and go really well with the spuds. The cauliflower cheese paratha was also delicious. They have really good cocktails too! They keep changing the menu so definitely coming back!

“We enjoyed dining at Miga for lunch today. We ordered the fried chicken thighs (did not have too much meat though), enjoyed the mung bean cake, the short rib was delicious and the spinach side was fantastic! The ox bone broth was too bland for our liking and lacked flavour. Overall, decent experience.”

“Amazing food with extremely friendly staff. We had the set menu and would 100% recommend. Thought through dishes with a clear attention to details, and great quantities. The staff had great wine recommendations and took time to make us try a few options as well as explain everything! 10/10 experience!”

“Wow! The depth and complexity of flavour in every dish is truly impressive. Cuttlefish cooked perfectly, mutton perfectly balanced with a spicy sauce and spring onion chicken a perfect balance of tender and crunchy. The noodles filled with crispy onions and spiciness. Lovely assortment of pickled veg to accompany many of dishes with the acidity helping balance richness and heat.”

“Lovely venue and the staff were friendly from the moment we entered until we paid and left. Quality of the food was great; wasn't sure whether to get the full English or not but went with their recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Not too far from where we live so will definitely be coming back again. Bonus points for homemade beans in a tomato sauce.”

“Dalla is an 11/10 - food, service, atmosphere and all. My partner and I both have a severe nut allergy and the staff made us feel very comfortable dining here. Our server Allison was incredible in making us feel at home, and her passion for the food and wine completely elevated our experience. I crave the day I am back in London to dine here again!”

“Here’s a great example of a Michelin-experience made right. Setting is a very design-friendly chefs table with the perfect ambience and acoustics. Service is right on point with great hosting, relaxed conversations and highly knowledgeable about their food and preparation. The food follows the key. Perfectly, and thoughtfully, balanced and prepared to give you something from the whole taste palate. Went for the lunch set-menu, which was very good value-for-monetary £64pp. Highly recommend other to do the same, or entrust them for a dinner. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. - Value for money? Yes - Worth a detour? Yes - Best for (occasion)? Foodie experience - Would I go back? Absolutely”

“Incredible restaurant tucked away next to the station. Very unassuming from the outside but the interior is cozy, elegant and relaxing. Dining tables and bar seating, definitely recommend the bar opposite the kitchen to watch the dishes come together. All the dishes are put together so we'll, one of the better places I have been to for a long time, constantly changing menu and brilliant service. This place is mainly a wine enthusiast place with a restaurant so the wine list is extensive, well curated but one of the most expensive ones I've seen.”

“Thank you for a great night and a delicious meal! We came as a very large group and were able to hire the private seating area downstairs. The staff were patient taking the long list of orders, attentive making sure we had our drinks and bread baskets, and very accommodating, even allowing us to pay one person at a time, at the end of the meal. The food was delicious and cooked beautifully. Even watching the meat on the grill was a delight. Would definitely recommend for the food and the service.”

“The food, the atmosphere… everything was exceptional. I don’t know how to say it, but it’s almost something more than just a restaurant. Maybe it’s the intimate size of the place, or getting to sit at the bar and see everything come together. Whatever it is, the team have definitely got something special going on in that kitchen! We tried a good selection of dishes, but I can’t really pick a favourite. Each one had something special about it. It’s all genuinely really good food with fun and tasty twists. ‘Small plates’ probably doesn’t do it justice, they’re proper generous portions! I just wish I’d visited sooner, but what a treat to visit for the greatest hits menu and I can’t wait to visit again!”

“Had a very lovely meal on Friday. The food was really tasty and well presented, service was super efficient and friendly, we kept being topped up with water without having to ask. Our waitress was very nice and she managed the entire floor on her own. the food is super fresh and creatively cooked, we had the 7 course meal with optional bread and olives and we were really stuffed by the end. Unsure why someone said the portions were tiny as it’s standard with tasting menus. Would definitely come back.”
