“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.”

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!

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

“Flawless experience in food and service. Tour de force of dishes, each exploding with flavor and visual appeal. I can’t rave about the duck or the rib enough. We gleefully ate each plate and found the praise the restaurant has received well deserved. The service we experienced was warm and prompt. Recommendations received were spot on. A must-visit restaurant for sure.”

“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.”

“Very very good food. And wildly affordable for quality, execution and flavor. Fancy presentation (something i don’t gravitate towards) but big balanced flavors. Service was awesome. Sat at the bar and really enjoyed bartenders. Cod collar, bread, and Crudo were standouts but i assume you can’t really go wrong.”

“the lady that served me was rly nice and helpful. i wish i got her name. i knew what i wanted on the dinner menu (which was exquisite, shout out to the chefs🌟) but when it came to the red wine i wasn't sure as im usually a whiskey man but that wasn't on their menu and she helped me with explaining the 3 different red wines they had on their menu and how they taste as well as the strength in body and what i chose was super tasty i was surprised to find that the pickles and fermentation starter had no pickled cucumbers, it was celery, cabbage, and bell pepper. although it was still very delicious, it just surprised me to bite into the celery thinking it was a lebanese cucumber. very different in taste, but still tasted amazing nonetheless i will definitely come back with a friend next time”

“Every dish was superb these chefs know what they’re doing…created an amazing space to enjoy amazing seafood fine dining. One of my favourite restaurants in London. All dishes are served by the chefs themselves no waiters no menus everything is a surprise and explained by the chefs. Definitely a food experience. Highly recommended.”

“Heard the menu changes quite often but you couldn't go wrong with a random pick on the menu (my friends went there for 4 times and all dishes are nice). Personally I love lobster rice and grilled squid the most. Desserts are all good. Dry age beef are good but not great.”

“The food here is simply insane. Came here with my argentinian parents and they were very impressed. We got a parrillada with a sirloin, fillet, ribeye and provolone, which were all spectacular. We also loved the spicy beef empanadas which we had as a starter. For dessert we had a flan with lots of dulce de leche. If you love meat you basically have to come here. Goes without saying that there are lots of great argentinian wines here as well.”

“I had lunch at Dalla last sunday and Dalla is my favorite restaurant in London now. The foods were so good, but the interior and the service made our restaurant experience better! The waiter had really chill, nice service which made me really comfortable. I definitely wanna visit again and try other dishes! Thank you 🎀”
