I have been to East West a few times and every visit I am made to feel welcome. The staff and owner are absolutely lovely and go out of their way to really get to know their customers. The food and flavours are 10/10 and even got a surprise dessert as I was celebrating my birthday weekend. The buttermilk arrencini is my personal favourite and a must try!

Amazing! Highly recommend! Had been meaning to try this place for months and it did not disappoint, not only was the food delicious (especially this chaat!) but the owner and all servers were lovely, helping us through the menu

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve had such a great time eating dinner as I had at East West! Every single bite was incredible from the fickle pickle pizza to the crispy chilli corn chaat ending with the chai tiramisu! I know most people go for the pizza but grab yourselves a couple of small plates and you will not regret it! And Devinder! What an incredible host! Just wow wow wow thank you so much for your hospitality, it just elevated the experience! Thank you Devinder and Manpreet for taking your idea from the kitchen and creating this awesome experience! Cannot wait to come back for more 😋

Absolutely delicious and unique! Who knew that indian food and italian food would make such a delicious combination? The meal here is delicious, especially the arancinis. The curry sauces really kept the flavour of the arancini interesting and the pamersan really bring the curry to a whole new level. The tandoori chicken works really well with the pizza and the texture of the pizza was great as well. 10/10 would be back again

Had a really good time at East West Pizzeria, I thoroughly enjoyed the Indian/ Italian fusion. Staff were lovely and friendly and were helpful making our food choices. Would definitely go again and have recommended it to friends! Ordered: Onion Bhaji’s Butter Chicken Arancini Lobster Arancini Chilli Paneer Pizza

I heard about this fabulous local restaurant from an article in the FT weekend (someone was being interviewed at the restaurant). Although I'm no where near it, I'm so glad we tried it one evening. The food is excellent, the service is great and they are forward thinking in allowing dogs to come with you. There's also lots of delicious wine, cheese, jams and more to buy in the shop when you are there. Really can't recommend it enough, it's well worth a trip to even if you don't live anywhere near by.

Seriously the best wine bar in North West London. Service is fantastic (they really care and are passionate about the produce they serve). I've been 3 times now and have never been disappointed. You will have the best night here if you like good food and wine with friends!

Great variety of wines, with rotating regions of France. They offer a great selection of wines and french products to take home, and you can choose your own cheese or charcuterie to accompany your wine. Even their bread and butter are great!

We had a lovely date evening by the bar table. The staff was polite and ready to offer recommendations. We only wish the food had more options for vegetarians. However, the wine options were diverse yet exquisite. The seating was cozy, and the pricing was fair. I only hope they get the pricing of the food correct since we had to point out the pricing error in one of them, but the staff apologized for the error. We would return back and recommend the place.

Love this cafe, food is excellent. Staff are so friendly, welcoming and always at the personal touch. Great Cafe for mums they help you so much even helping me with the pram inside and out of the Cafe. I love the fact that is such a huge Cafe with plenty of space so you’re not on top of each other and the big windows make it bright and airy. This is the only place I go now and so all my family, Can’t wait to share it with friends and try everything on the menu because everything taste wonderful so far!

Really nice, spacious, brightly lit cafe. Window seats are great for working. Staff are attentive and the Atlantic bagel is affordable and a good portion (comes with a little salad on the side). Does get really busy with families and children on the weekend - totally understandable but if you’re interested in a quiet catch up a weekday might be better.

We went yesterday for dinner and had a fantastic meal. The wine (we had Barbera) paired beautifully with the lamb and duck, the service was lovely and the food was fabulous - outstanding ingredients made to sing by a seriously good chef! We will be back

This small, unassuming restaurant completely blew us away. The food here is at the level of a Michelin-starred establishment, but without any of the pretentious fluff—just incredible flavors at an accessible price point. Every dish we tried was outstanding. The figs with ricotta were perfectly balanced, the tortelli with aged Parmesan was absolute perfection, the beef tartare and the Squid with beans were simply out of this world. Even the desserts were unforgettable. We had the Sicilian blood orange tart and the Gin Baba and they were both delicious, a perfect way to end the meal. The service was 10/10, very friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is relaxed and cosy and made the experience even more enjoyable. We loved everything about this place and can’t wait to come back. It’s a true gem that deserves all the praise!

We really like this small yet spacious, unbranded restaurant which is an unexpected gem of fine dining in our local area of Tufnell Park. Every dish was beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. Hospitality 5*! Definitely will be back, and will certainly book ahead again as it was full by the time we left on a Tuesday evening no less! Highlights included the aged risotto, and the mallard, but truthfully everything was beautiful!

A really lovely little restaurant. Very fast service, which is really convenient, and also nice and friendly. The food was all really high quality and although not hugely innovative, it definitely had a nice twist on traditional Japanese cuisine. For example, I’d definitely recommend the Nepalese style gyozas as being uniquely delicious, and I’d really encourage the chefs to even do some more of this lovely fusion! The sushi was also really lovely and high quality, and it was very nice being served directly by the chefs when sitting at the bar. Really nice experience overall with a very reasonable price.

Nice little restaurant that is not too far from the forum, staff were friendly and we were seated at the front, so could watch the food being prepared. Food itself was really good and quick to come out. The katsu curry had a lot of flavour and the chicken was crispy. Feels like a quite a new place, with staff and waiter's still finding their place, but with time, feels like it will be a great little spot.

Amazing little joint tucked away from all the bustle. The food was as delicious as it was beautiful and for a surprisingly reasonable price. All the staff were excellent and friendly, especially the chef who we had a nice little chat with and its clear he's passionate about his work. Could not recommend this place enough, fantastic!

Me and my boyfriend chose this beauty yesterday as everything else was closed. We found this beautiful Ethiopian restaurant with great atmosphere and amazing service. Food was great and Adiom (sorry if I misspell it), described everything in details, took good care of us and she was the sweetest💜the lentil samosa was exquisite, as well as the chicken and the vegetables! Not to talk about the coffee which was a discovery 💜will definitely come back to this 💎. Nadia and Lauro.

We love the Lion and Unicorn pub - it's become our favourite local pub since discovering it last summer. Val and the staff have always been incredibly accommodating, especially with our toddler. We love atmosphere and space. There's a cozy log fire for the colder months, and my toddler loves to romp around and sit on the comfy chairs. Their lunch menu is great value, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in serving up great food. Well worth a visitor or three!

The Lion & Unicorn is easily one of our favourite roasts in London. We love bringing our friends here because the service is always so friendly and the food is always great. This time we had a group of 6 so we tried the beef & lamb sharing roasts, definitely recommend.

Good Korean restaurant in Kentish Town, really good prices for London and portions are good. I really enjoyed the bento style boxes; beef bulgogi was good but galbi was amazing!! Korean fried chicken could be a bit better but was still really nice on the restaurant, but we've ordered a couple of times through Deliveroo and chicken seemed reheated on a microwave, really chewy and not crispy/tender. Staff was overall friendly, although the guy that welcomed us was a bit cold and not that welcoming, but everyone else was lovely. Really recommend, great food, great price!!

Found our new go-to Korean restaurant! My husband and I have been twice this week and are absolutely blown away by their dishes. We tried two different soups—Galbitang and Spicy Tofu Jjigae—which were perfect for winter. The Yangnyeom chicken, Bossam (chef’s kiss), and their house-made kimchi were also incredible. Plus, they don’t skimp on portion sizes! The staff were amazing and very friendly, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Kentish Town. Aju Masissda 🫶🫰

I’ve recently discovered Cremma as my new coffee stop and I can’t recommend it enough! Everytime I walk in, I’m greeted with warm smiles and friendly hellos from the staff. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and valued. A special shoutout to Ella, who is absolutely the best – her kindness makes my visit even more enjoyable. I was even offered a complimentary cake on one of my visits which was simply divine! Each cake tastes little piece of heaven, it’s impossible to choose just one favorite. The coffee here is absolutely fantastic and the food on offer looks just as amazing too! Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee, cake or a leisurely meal, Cremma is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some excellent food and drink. I Highly recommend!
