A fantastic dining experience! The naan bread was perfect, and every dish we tried—bharta, aushak, gulpea (cauliflower curry), and Kabuli Pulao—was aromatic, savory, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Afghani cuisine. 🇦🇫

We were recommended this restaurant by an Afghan friend, it had to be good! It’s run by a family and it’s BYOB (already winning). We ordered Mantu (dumplings) for starters. For mains we had the platter, lamb shank korma and chicken karahi curries. This is the the Afghan restaurant I’ve been ro in London. My last experience in another establishment wasn’t great but I’m glad I got to try it again. Will come again. (Sorry for the poor photos)

Had an amazing meal at Mihan! The bread was insanely good—soft, fresh, and perfect for scooping up the delicious palak paneer I ordered. My friend got the chicken tikka, and wow, it was cooked perfectly—super tender and packed with flavor. Huge thanks to our waiter, KD, who totally nailed the recommendations. He even hooked me up with some of their chutney to take home, and let me tell you, it’s so good. I’m really hoping they start selling it because I’d buy it in a heartbeat. If you haven’t been to Mihan yet, go! Great food, great vibes—can’t wait to go back.

Great great food and service, we’ve been there twice in 2 weeks we liked it so much. I prefer not spicy and you can ask to reduce spice, original way of presenting naan bread and delicious daal and mango lassi. Can get busy in the weekend but we fortunately didnt have any problems with booking

Great authentic Afghan food! You have to order the lamp dumplings (Mantu dumplings), they were such a lovely treat to share. Highly recommend coming here, portions were generous. And no corkage charge so we brought over a bottle of wine to enjoy with dinner as well.

The food was delicious, great portions and served quickly and with care. They were very busy when we attended so we had to grab the waiters attention a bit but otherwise the service was absolutely great. We're already planning our next visit.

I recently dined at 314 Kitchen &Bar , and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy dinner or a special celebration. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, and I was impressed by the creativity and quality of the food. I started with varieties of starters . Such as Slow -cooked Beef Brisket Taco, warm goat cheese , crispy Chunky Squid which were cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food. They offered great wine pairings that complemented our meal beautifully. Overall, 314 Kitchen & Bar exceeded all my expectations, and I can't recommend it enough. I can't wait to return and try more of their amazing dishes!

Such incredible cuisine 🌟 Profound flavours and luscious textures. I hadn’t tried Ethiopian food before and I’ve been MISSING OUT 🔥 Light yet complex, fresh with heat and spice - the stews are gorgeous and you scoop them up with my new favourite thing: injera - the flexible, light, sourdough pancake. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the prices are so reasonable. Get involved 💃🏻

Today was my first time visiting Mesi's kitchen . I love ethiopian cuisine. I came her with for a early mother's day treat. The restuarant environment is warm and welcoming. I have awaze tibs and my mum had doro Tibs I also had tried the beers here too habesha and st George. It was very nice refreshing. I definitely recommend this restuarant if you it's first time trying ethiopian cuisine. Also the owner Mesi is absolutely lovely

Fantastic flavours, very clean restaurant and welcoming staff. Having tried several Ethiopian places in London, this is the most consistent for both vegan and meat dishes. Service is not added to the bill but bring cash if you want to tip.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Urban Cafe and Bistro in Highbury, and I can't recommend it enough! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The highlight of my visit was definitely the service. Our waitress, Artemisa, was incredibly helpful and attentive. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering great recommendations and checking in on us regularly. Her friendly demeanor truly enhanced our experience. The food was delicious, and I left feeling satisfied and happy. A definite five-star experience!

Really nice cheeseboard with warm bread perfect for sharing, the lamb shank was also lovely with a really nice gravy and great portion size. The tiramisu was hands down one of the best I’ve had – after speaking with the staff I quickly learned its a very authentic Italian recipe and you can tell! The service is also excellent, relaxed vibe and very friendly, attentive staff.

Wow wow wow, went here with my sister for our birthday. Got the 10 course tasting menu and it was just a dream. You could tell every dish was so well thought out and the flavour combinations were just incredible. We had a couple of cocktails as well and they were quite imaginative. Would highly recommend.

Delicious food prepared incredibly well, with a lovely atmosphere - very comforting, not pretentious at all, and with very helpful and passionate staff. I was honestly very impressed - Josh (one of the founders) worked the floor as our waiter when one of his staff was off sick, and he was just so excited about cooking he’d tell you all about the dishes if you asked! The menu is also based on what good quality ingredients are available, and I really support that. The price was also cheaper than other food of this quality that we’ve had in the past, plus with the lovely service, we increased our service charge. We will be back!

We had an early sitting (6:30) in early January, and it was full. Ans I know why. The food, wines, service and atmosphere was very very good. It is an expensive meal, and when having the 13 dish menu, there is no choice, but I would highly recommend it. Plus get the wine pairing too. We even had a miss understanding on the us ordering the Wagyu steak, as it never came, but the meal was still very special. Trying to pick out the flavours and ingredients in this beautifully constructed dishes was too hard, so we just sat back and enjoyed it. My only regret was that I did not get a lift of the pairing wines we had. The red was especially delicious, but I don't know what it was. I asked and the owner promised to share the names, but as we were finishing the customers for the next service started arriving so it got busy!

Fantastic 13 course dinner, delightful flavours and couldnt fault it. I think £68 is great value considering what you might pay for something similar in London. Service was impecabble, explaining all the dishes as they came out. Cocktails were sharp and well balanced for the meal. Sucker for a steak so was easily upsold the A5 wagyu with real wasabi, even my girlfriend who doesnt eat red meat gave it a go and went back for a second bite. The pasta dish, we both agreed was one of the best we've ever had. Cant wait to try out the al a carte restaurant being opened in Shoreditch.

4.5 Went here for a night out with my husband and we were both very happy with the quality of the food and service. Upstairs is much more intimate and romantic—downstairs, where we sat, is brighter and more casual but still lovely. The chopped beef filet was unctuous in the best possible way, as the olive oil used is divine. The skate was so incredible crispy on the outside but stayed moist and delicate on the inside. The panna cotta with bitter caramel was the perfect way to end the meal.

Such an amazing restaurant for pasta!!! It was absolutely delicious! I didn’t realize there was a downstairs area but we got seated downstairs at a table that felt like it was a little cove just for us, it was super cute and cozy. The service was great and the atmosphere was beautiful! I got the zucchini pasta and donuts as a dessert, both were absolutely delicious.

We tried to get a table for few months in this restaurant and finally made it for my husband birthday. We weren't disappointed. The restaurant is cute not too over the top. Quite cosy even if I think the table clothes could be a bit nicer (as in paper). We had a romantic table in the underground which was perfect for the occasion. The waitress was very welcoming and nice the entire time. The menu is quite selective but I like it as it feels more authentic. We had olives as starter, I had the beef ragu pasta and my husband the fettucini. Both were very tasty and delicious. And for dessert the lemon tard and gorgonzola cheese. Same desserts were perfect. Drink wise, my husband had a campari spritz and classic negroni and weren't disappointed. Overall we recommend this restaurant as the quality of the food was really good and we had a nice evening.

We came to Trullo after it came recommended to us for Great Italian food - it located a stones throw away from Highbury and Islington station. The table was located in the basement, giving the evening a very intimate feel. The service was good and prompt. However, they seemed quite busy overall. When cocktails arrived, they were good with the negorni in particular tasting great. The food was generally very good with the Pici cacio e pepe tasting great with plenty of depth to the dish. In addition to this, we sampled the desserts the triamasu and lemon tart were amazing also! I wasn't a fan of the Tagliarini crab & focaccia starter- as I felt this lacked depth in its favour, and the bread tasted and felt very similar to a sourdough rather than a great tasting focaccia Overall, it was a very good Italian with good service and atmosphere but not my favourite Italian place London.

Little Sardegna is a nice place to try Sardinian food. The pasta dishes are tasty, and they offer a good selection of Sardinian wines to go with your meal. The staff is friendly and provides good service, making the experience enjoyable. If you're in the mood for something different or want to explore Sardinian cuisine, it's a solid choice. Worth a visit!

Someone we met outside on the pavement had told us it was good and he was certainly right. All 4 of us tried different pasta dishes and they were excellent, especially the spicy 'tagliolini Marcello' with crab, lemon & chilli; the culugione pasta filled with potato, pecorino lemon zest and mint and the tortelli stuffed with burrata. Our small grandson put away a plate of spaghetti Alfredo (just butter and cheese)! And to round off freshly made tiramisu.... Marcello and his chef could not have been more friendly; talking to us about Sardegna and its food in a mixture of Italian, Spanish and English. A sunny southern European lunch in north London.

WOW! What an incredible experience at Terra Rossa! Every dish the 6 of us had was simply perfect - rich flavours, fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. They has brilliant options for vegans (2 of us were), with separate vegan and gluten-free menus. We celebrated my husband's parents anniversary at the restaurant and had fantastic service throughout our meal - it truly made for a special day!

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service was quick, and the staff went above and beyond, even offering water for our dog.

Everything was authentic, except for the food. The service was lovely from an enthusiastic host, he made good suggestions and made us feel welcome. The entree of Burrata was delicious although could have used some bread to come with. My wife ordered the seafood risotto but said the seafood didn’t feel fresh and the rice was perhaps undercooked. I felt the same for my boar pasta dish, the meat was great but the pasta was undercooked. The atmosphere was great and intimate for our table of 2, however with the food quality - I’m not sure it justifies the more than 120 pounds for an entree, two mains and two drinks.

first time trying Terra Rossa and we had a very good lunch experience. service was exceptional, as was ambience. for food we had staples from Salento: fave e cicoria, panzerotti, orecchiette alle cime di rapa, pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale, pasticciotto (all accompanied by a good glass of negroamaro and taralli). the pasta were excellent. a bit less convincing was the pasticciotto, which was served fridge-cold and the pastry was not really "crumbly" (maybe used butter rather than lard, not sure). overall it was a very good, hearty lunch served with a wonderful smile

We all agreed the last time we ate pizza this good was when we lived in Italy. Please do yourself a favor and stop by - service is lovely and atmosphere is cozy and comforting.

Incredible food and a cozy atmosphere! We came here on a recommendation from friends who said it’s the best Thai spot in London. We weren’t disappointed! We got 2 snacks, 3 starters, and 1 main between two of us and it was probably just 1 starter too many, but we were happy to take the rest home for lunch the following day.

Hands down, the best Thai I’ve had in London! 🇹🇭 🎉 I highly recommend the feasting menu which gives a tasteful offering of 6 dishes and sides to share.

Truly outstanding. I eat Thai, and other southeast Asian cuisines, regularly. This place is special. The Thai jungle curry featured delicious aged beef shin and amazing textures that can only come from real authentic thai ingredients - wild garlic and pea aubergine to name a couple! Highly recommend. Will be back.

We managed to reserve a table in the dining room at Saltine on a Thursday night. The place is magical, I loved every single detail of the decor, from the table which is slightly bigger than usual, to the lights on the table that seem slick candles. It is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. The staff is also very friendly but professional. We've ordered bread and arancini as starters. The arancini despite them being very small are flavourful, some of the best I've tried in London, made with fresh ragu and perfectly cooked rice. Then we've had pumpkin scapece, a nice, fresh and simple plate which gets you ready for your mains. As mains, we've had the dexter and the artichokes with lentils. Both were great dishes but the dexter beats them all. Overall, really recommend it!

Really enjoyed our visit to Saltine. The wine list had really accessible prices, local suppliers like Dusty Knuckle and wines from a local favourite Renegade. The food was great, really well balanced - that rare experience where you have to debate what to miss out on because everything looks good! Friendly and attentive service, with a team who are clearly knowledgable about the menu. Allergies were also graciously accommodated. Really recommend the gildas and the sticky toffee pudding with apple. They also do very good chips that come with gravy, can’t go wrong. Thanks Saltine team for a lovely evening!

Made a last minute booking last night and it did not disappoint. The front of house was an absolute gem. The place is absolutely gorgeous, very well decorated. They have a very good wine selection, and the food is just simply delicious. We tried roughly half of the menu, the portions were well sized, some very generous. Special mention to the scallops which were so tasty, as well as the courgette risotto.
