Leicester Square Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

We celebrated the New Year in this restaurant this evening and we were won over by this one. Everything was excellent, from the food to the service!

I had an amazing evening, especially when they had a live DJ. DJ pouya is phenomenal. We really enjoyed his song and restaurant vibe. Thanks Pouya

The food wasn’t for me. But our waiter was excellent. The maitre d was angry. No idea why

All super positive I will return as soon as possible

It’s just perfect!! We went on Christmas Eve without a reservation and they found us a table. The waiters and staff are super friendly. The food was extremely good (spicy, though!) and very reasonably priced.

The food was excellent in small morsels of pleasure. The waiting staff is attentive and smiling (unlike many London restaurants) and the service was efficient which helped us finish on time for the show.

We had an amazing dinner with friends. Food was top notch and great cocktails. Athul, Zsolt and Astel made our evening special. Thank you!

Extremely delicious food. Really recommand. With the sharing concept, you get to taste a lot of different options.

Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was great and quick to come. The waiters were so sweet. We mentioned at one point of the dinner that it was my grandmothers birthday, so they surprised her with a macaroon with cute decorations and a "happy birthday" written with chocolate on the plate. They really went above and beyond as we didn't even ask for it, but the waiter took the initiative to do this for us. We got served by a pleasant and delightful Swedish waiter. The atmoshpere is surprisingly chill for a restaurant in central london. It wasn't empty, but it wasn't too full either making it lovely for the evening. There was a live DJ playing lively, cool music during the whole evening. Perfect for pre theatre meals because the food comes very quickly and it is conveniently near so many theatres. The food was delicious and shockingly satiating despite the portions being small. I recommend ordering the options like tapas (order many small dishes at once) so that you can fill yourself and try lots of it.

We had quite high expectations, but they sank as soon as we set foot inside the door. Bad service, some dishes were not cooked enough, after 90 min our children had not received any food, the sound volume from the DJ was so high that you could not talk in the company or for that matter with the serving staff who made mistakes in most of them. To spice up the review a little extra, they thought it appropriate to try to charge £250 more than we received food/drink for. Choose another place!

Ordered a cabbage steak and got this after waiting for so long. The waiter was very kind and trying to help us but the food itself was disappointing.

Great ambiance & concept. Ordering a bit confusing. I suggest mostly to share. Dishes excellent, but some are spicy. I suggest the team to either add small symbols to the menu or warn the guests plus better explain the sharing concept. :)

Fabulous food and service - Athol, our server, went above and beyond..... cool guy serving amazing food!

The food was amazing and service exceptional. Athol in particular was very welcoming and attentive throughout adding to our experience.

Food was amazing! Especially the battered prawn. Service was also great, Athul, our waiter, was fantastic and really made the experience lovely.

We reserved a table for 9 to 8 p.m. We arrived at 8:12 p.m. and initially I was told that unfortunately they tried to call me to tell me that my reservation was not possible (I never received a single call), then insistently we were told that we arrived late (12 minutes!) and that the kitchens will close (at 8:15 p.m.!!) We're talking about the restaurant at the Radison Blue hotel! Deplorable, the worst welcome in London To be completely avoided

I had reserved for 8 p.m., a table for 7 We arrived 12 minutes late, apologizing The waiter behind the bar refused us, not very kindly, saying that the kitchen closed at 8 p.m....

Aiswary was our waitress and she was excellent. Listened and made suggestions based on understanding our pallet. The food was lovely and it was a great day out

As a Londoner, this an obvious place to avoid as it has the reputation of a tourist trap. The food was surprisingly good, but we were overcharged twice. Sadly, the reputation is warranted. First the bill didn’t deduct what was already pre-paid from the reservation, second the wine was charged differently to what we ordered. Mistakes can happen, but twice is not a coincidence. As a Londoner this is a natural place to avoid, as a visitor, be told that there are lots of restaurants in the vicinity with far better value and lower chances of getting overcharged.

Good cocktails and dessert, average food, just terrible service. The restaurant had 4-5 tables upon our arrival but we waited 10min for a menu, another 15min for someone to take our order. No one came to refill water during our entire dining time, we constantly had to flag down wait staff. Terrible dining experience, would not recommend.

This restaurant is attached to a hotel in Leicester Square, great location and ambience is good although quite quiet. We got the short rib and fish taco to start which were both amazing but small- probably about 2-3 bites. Calamari was good too but lacked a sauce. Wings were really juicy but overpriced. We got the rib eye steak which was okay but lacked flavour and they don’t really have any side options to pair. Beef was good too but same again, needs a side. Prices are quite a lot for the portion but may be due to the location. We had £50 off so it was worth it for us.

Drinks were good. Food was just ok. Service was terrible. Inattentive and almost negligent in how serviced the tables. It was early Thursday evening and the restaurant was 30% occupied and yet somehow, servers were inattentive.

Addithyin my server was so nice and welcoming. The food is good value and ambiance is cool.

Every time we come to London we end up here mainly for the Tommy’s margaritas, then the habanero matchstick chicken and the Wagyu sliders, the list is endless. Excellent Peruvian and Mexican food with great service

The food, drink and service at Leicester Square Kitchen were superb, one of the best Mexican restaurants we've ever been to and definitely the best in the UK. Everything we ordered was delicious, but special mentions for the short rib tacos, as well as the stone bass and mezcal glazed ribs. The jalapeno margarita was the best cocktail we've had in a long time. The manager and server Ashwara were both so attentive and knowledgeable. Could not recommend highly enough, and absolutely worthwhile with the 20% off offer Sunday-Friday.

One of my favorite spots in the area, perfect for a sharing concept. The beef tacos and duck salad are particular standouts for me, and overall, the food is excellent for the price. The setting is both stylish and comfortable, making it easy to have a conversation with friends, even on a busy Friday evening. The staff deserves the highest praise; they always take great care of us. I’ll definitely be back.

Although I've given this 3 stars overall, I must say I actually really enjoyed the food. Everything was clean, flavourful and well cooked. Drinks were good, service was a little slow but we were always kept updated when there were delays on the kitchen which is all you can reasonably ask for. Establishment was clean and I would definitely go back. However the overall score is based on value. My friend and I went for the set menu and whilst it's reasonably priced, the portion sizes were somewhat dissapointing for what was paid. This is a quick fix (in my opinion) where a side of carbs like fries, mash or rice would be good to help get satiated.

Very good hotel breakfast with amazing coffee and amazing staff.

I really like this place. In fact, I may love it. It’s beautiful and chic. A welcome sudamericano oasis in the heart of this bustling square. The food is fresh, bright and delicious. A little spicy. Try the sea bass ceviche with corn and avocado. Epic. I ate whole thing. Which was not my intention. And don’t forget the guac with a hint of cumin. I’ll be back for a post movie fix. LQK keep it up.

I tried their calamari 10/10 and they have nice avocado salad that is really delicious also their chicken skewers were nice ( these were Halal options ) just in case needed

The staff was very friendly and made good recommendations

All six of us ordered the pre theater menu. The chicken wings, duck salad and the avocado salad are all very tasty. Gill wagyu beef sliders and mushrooms risotto were delicious. Mango rice pudding dessert was the best. The service is outstanding and quick (very accommodating, since we only have an hour to eat before the show starts) and the food was on point. Only concern, the dishes can be a bit spicy. 😋

Had a birthday meal here last night before a show for my son. Food was INCREDIBLE and service was swift and polite. Really recommend!

Everything was perfect. I ate there three times in four days, it was so good. The cocktails, the dishes, the service, the location... everything is worthy of a great restaurant.

Went on a Friday afternoon for a team lunch. The staff were very helpful. Had late lunch from 2pm. The place was empty, which gave us a lot of time to chill and catchup on a sunny friday afternoon. The starters and mains were amazing! Mini tacos and beef sliders took top spot for me! Dessert flavours were a little too adventurous for me.

Modern and clean dining space, inside the Radisson on Leicester Square. Good food in the small plates style. They're quite keen on spice. The waiting staff were attentive and helpful. Note that the asparagus was awful, overcooked and did not taste good, but they happily removed it from the bill. I would definitely recommend the tacos, both the crispy Baja and beef, they were really tasty. It was very quiet inside the restaurant with maybe a handful of tables occupied.

Although food was spicier than we expected, we truly enjoyed our dinner! Adithyan gave us great service and we felt really welcomed. Thank you so much to him and the team.

Excellent authentic food. I had the beef skewers and was very full, I shared tomato cerviche and plant based tacos with my wife. She's vegetarian so she had the soya mince empanadas. They were lovely but far too small. Bigger portions for the veggie food would mean 5 stars. Very calm place great service

Uninspired and overpriced, look elsewhere unless you have more money than taste

Extremely overpriced, and with small portions but was tasty. Service from staff was good from most but waitress was rather rude.

Great quality food, with a wide variety of options. The cocktails were also very good. Great service all round.

We had visited once before (which was an amazing experience) so decided to visit for Mothers Day. We were not disappointed and so glad that the standard of food and service has remained as high as our previous visit. Staff were amazing and knowledgeable on the food. Very attentive and always on hand to accommodate any request. The food is second to none. We will definitely be back again.

Thanks to Bento. This place is great with the music and espically

The portions aren’t as small as I thought they would be having read the reviews. On this visit we got: - crispy tiger prawns (my favourite dish of our meal) - seabass ceviche (portion size was very generous) - baja fish taco (underwhelming, don’t bother) - pork ribs (more tender than I thought) The restaurant was extremely busy on a Saturday evening. The food came quickly but we weren’t very well looked after, the waiter kept trying to take our dishes away when we hadn’t finished and it took 20 minutes to get the bill.

Booked on a whim last minute, and I have been back several times since then with different people. Great food, atmosphere and service. Easy to rack the bill up with food and drinks, but makes for nice evening.

This restraunt had a really nice atmosphere with ambient lighting and we were initially pleased with where we had chosen based on this. It is the type of place which allows you to wind down and feel a little bit sophisticated, the waiting service was to a good standard. We ordered from a set menu but still got a small choice within that menu. We thought that this menu made the food sound really complicated but had no simple explanation of what each dish was, we had to ask (which wasn't a problem) and we were expecting to be blown away by some posh nosh. At this point we were more than happy with our choices so far but when every dish came out we felt it was not to the standard that it should be for this type of restaurant. For me the food was a bit like stuff we could knock up quickly at home but poshed up a bit with either a flower or some spicy sauce (which wasn't unpleasant). The best dish was one that we managed to combine. My wife had some chicken wings with spicy sauce and I had a crispy duck salad which were way too simple on thier own but adequate together. We then had 3 x micro burgers on a posh plate which tasted great but 2 with a little something to compliment them would have been much better. Lastly I was excited by the sound of mojito soaked fruit with ice cream but it was watery and felt Sub standard for this type of eatery. All in all a nice place with effort on the decor but the cuisine could be improved.

This was our 8th visit and 2nd this year. I’m still rating it a 5 but on our latest visit we arrived just before 1 and the service was exceptionally slow. It took nearly 25 minutes to finally get a bottle of wine. On querying the wait we were told it was very busy. On arrival there was a table x 2, Tx1 and a tx8. So I can’t understand the wait. There also seemed to be plenty of servers. If this was our first visit we’d definitely not return and it’d be 1 star. Anyway on to the Positives. The food just gets better each time. The freshness of the food is amazing as are the flavours. Also the hot sauce really hits the spot. I look forward to every mouthful. We cannot complain in anyway about the food. It’s also in a great location. Hopefully our next visit the speed and service is back to normal. See you soon. Nick

I was quite disappointed because the cuisine was too spicy (even though I'm Peruvian) and there was a table in front of us that was literally screaming so it wasn't ideal for a quiet romantic dinner - on the other hand the decor is very nice

The food is divine and it's an explosion of flavours. Staff is lovely and polite

An excellent gem in Leicester Square. Attentive and professional staff. A great vibe and the food was exceptional. We loved the fusion of Mexican and Peruvian and the baja tacos were sublime! The small dishes were sufficient to share and the wine and company…magnífica! Loved the decor and the facilities - always a good tell of the care of a restaurant were very good. It was a delight to visit.

Great girls' night out. The food was amazing.

Great location, good food, table seating a little cosy. Excellent margarita.

Vibes on vibes, service was amazing and food was delectable, honestly worth the price. Was just enough food to make you full. Perfect place for pictures too because of the atmosphere, toilets were amazing.

Set menus were brilliant, incredibly tasty and spicy food. We shared our plates so we got try a little of everything. Risotto and duck salad starter stood out.

We arrived for our meal and was sat down, with our drinks ordered fairly quickly..... We then waited a fair amount of time before we could order. We ordered from the set menu. Starters eventually came out, but only four of the 6 dishes. We waited patiently (luckily they were not hot meals as would have been cold).... After 8-10 minutes we asked where the other two meals were and they then came out..... As an apology we were given a bowl of essentially Doritos and not much of an apology. For the mains the same happened again although not such a delay as the starters, but we were still left waiting a considerable time for all the dishes to arrive, and these dishes were hot so had started to become cold. As for the food everyone enjoyed their food, although the amount of spice in all the dishes took some people by surprise..... Maybe there can be a key indicating the approximate level of spice? Due to the speed of service we had to cancel our last course due to commitments elsewhere unfortunately. We then had trouble paying for our meal and almost had to grab someone to pay..... Despite standing patiently with our coats on Personally if I had been the one paying (someone paid for all as needed to go quickly) I wouldn't have left as much of a service tip(as you take 12.5% straight away) as I didn't feel the service was of a good standard...... Which is a shame, and having a wife who used to work in this line of work, I fully appreciate what tips mean to the staff etc and how they can make a difference.... But I feel this sometimes is the only way a company can maybe see feedback in how their business is doing.

Amazing food did however order to much but the waiter did warn us

Reservation was canceled 2 hours in advance on December 31st... New Year's Eve. Very disappointing, extremely poor service.

A restaurant that offers Peruvian and Mexican cuisine. The fried squid is very crispy and sweet. The fried chicken steak and grilled Wagyu beef are also very well prepared. The dishes are rich in spices and are a bit spicy. The dessert pudding with biscuits is delicious. The restaurant atmosphere is very good. The staff Friendly service, happy to celebrate my birthday

Fabulous night spent in London around a wonderful Christmas market and eating at this excellent establishment. The Ceviche was needed twice, guac was on point and the old fashioned with tequila was definitely different but delicious. The wild mushroom risotto was the center of our table which was cooked to perfection. Definitely will be back.

Très bon restaurant, ambiance classe. Service très agréable Viande excellente je recommande

Das Essen war von sehr guter Qualität, leider waren aber alle Gerichte zu scharf gewürzt. Ja, es ist Mittel-/Südamerikanische Küche, aber der Genuss der Gerichte hat leider darunter gelitten. Den Gerichten fehlt es an Kontrast zur Schärfe, vielleicht kann man daran noch arbeiten.

It was amazing, unfortunately the fire alarm went off towards the end of dinner and then didn’t stop. But I don’t think that’s any fault of the peeps working there.

Great vibe. Staff excellent. Food really fresh..and delicious. Would deffo recommend and I would deffo go back. Went in chrissy night out with 3 girlfriends and had a lovely time.

Sharing plates. Dinner was good but portions were a bit small. All the dishes were unexpectedly extremely spicy. The service however was really bad. Mango in the con lèche was raw but the dessert was still decent. We had the lychee martini and the spicy yuzu pisco sour which were both good

Really nicely laid out restaurant. Very cold bar area (not sure why the doors were open) but the restaurant was comfortable. Service was good although the head host was a bit standoffish with us when asking when our table would be ready. Highly recommend the short rib tacos - delicious!!

Fantastico! Locale moderno, curato e cibo ottimo! Torneremo! Una menzione particolare per Jannat è stata molto attenta e gentile con noi e con la nostra little girl

Nous sommes venus avec mon copain, on a adoré ! Très bon restaurant mexicain/péruvien, de différentes saveurs pour tous les goûts et surtout de bons produits. Il faut aimer manger épicé. Le service était très agréable, merci à l'accueil chaleureux et souriant d'Elena qui a été réactive durant tout le service.

We had a truly disappointing meal at Leicester Square Kitchen. After emailing in advance and being told that they were able to cater for coeliacs/gluten allergy; when seated in the restaurant we were told that they weren’t able to guarantee no cross contamination. I understand this is usual, however when pressed for more information as to whether they took precautions, (e.g different knives, chopping boards, cleaning the grill) they said no they weren’t able to do that. We were then left in a difficult situation as a group of 5 on a Saturday night with nowhere else booked. We asked once again if they could speak to the chef and they returned informing us they could do a few plain dishes on the menu including chicken skewers and asparagus. After appreciatively ordering those, they arrived as 3 completely plain grilled chicken skewers and 5 pieces of boiled asparagus (together costing almost £25). I understand some restaurants cannot cater for coeliacs and that is ok, however we had been told with confidence that they could. We had no previous problems with Monmouth or Mayfair kitchen so if you have allergies you will feel safer there!

Second visit here and was not disappointed. My first visit was amazing and my second even better. The food is exceptional. The freshness and quality is amazing. Every dish was a real flavour bomb. A must go to in London!

Absolutely amazing experience, stunning food and top class service.

Was lovely restaurant after magic mike show. They had a set menu as we were 10 people. Food and service were both good.

Smallest portions I have ever seen! We got the pre-theatre menu, we left the place hungry and with empty pockets. Very disappointing!

Great food and friendly service

I have been here many times. Excellent food, wine and service

We often dine at the Leicester Square Kitchen and definitely on special occasions. The food is superb. My granddaughter LOVES the sliders and demands to go to this restaurant for her birthday every year. The service is excellent. Lovely Natalia took care of us the other day. She was friendly, attentive and very professional. We certainly appreciated her lovely smile and impecable manners.

Peruvian food here is not great

We had a wonderful breakfast here. There is a great variety of food that is well prepared and the service was excellent. Our server Sonia was very attentive and friendly! We will go back very soon.

Great variety of food all tasted amazing. Staff were very attentive and friendly. We ordered a lot of food, but it all came out in a timely manner. The staff spot on with their recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. Can't fault the experience at all.

Absolument délicieux !! Surtout le ceviche de Sebaste,les côtes d'agneau et les asperges. Service rapide( un peu trop pour nous), Nous y reviendrons sûrement lors de notre prochain séjour à Londres.

Everything is perfect. Nishil especially is making a great job as a waiter.

Very good food but pricey. Prepare to spend £50 per person to eat enough to not be hungry in 2 hours.

Service was 11/10 and so was the food. Our waiter made us feel so welcome too !!

Absolutely delicious food and friendly and attentive service. The lady who served us asked about dietary needs and I mentioned that I’m pregnant, she immediately helped me work out what I could and couldn’t have on the menu, so I was really impressed with her knowledge. Would recommend. We were very pleasantly surprised for this location we thought it might be a tourist trap but it had a lovely vibe and great food. Only downside is portions are small and fairly expensive. I think the price is to be expected in the location but the taco dishes are minute so could do with improving on that. Had a lovely and very delicious lunch over all though!

Le petit-déjeuner est très bien, beaucoup de choix : oeufs, saucisses, fromage, saumon, croissants, yaourt, fruits, ... Mention spéciale au service de haute qualité, notamment par notre magnifique serveuse Awa.

We return here time after time for the incredible food (Mexican & Peruvian small plates), luxurious surroundings, and fabulous service. A great example was the helpfulness of Dhaval who was simply amazing on the day. We hadn't pre-booked and the restaurant was full at 5 pm. She arranged for us to have drinks at a reserved table in the Lounge and to be collected when our table was ready later in the evening. Dhaval wasn't present in the evening, and Simona (Food and Beverage Manager) made sure we were looked after throughout. Incredible service. All arranged by Dhaval. We had several small plates with fine wine to match. All the staff throughout the evening (Sat 19 Aug) were completely amazing. A huge thank you for making our meal so special. They even arranged a Birthday Macaroon on a beautiful plate. We'll be back soon. The Hampshire is always a special destination. Brian Hill

Nice space in the centre of Leicester Square, tasty food but slow service

Booked a very large table for 17 on my wife’s birthday, they couldn’t have done more to accommodate and make us feel welcome. Food was great, cocktails were amazing (pisco sours were really on point) and one very happy birthday girl!

Me ha encantado toda la comida, yo que soy un amante del picante 🌶️ Además el ambiente por dentro, los aseos son espectaculares y hoy día no se encuentran cosas parecidas a menudo 🇬🇧❤️

Terrible experience overall..I found a piece of plastic in my food and still had to pay for everything while they do an "investigation" Maybe they thought I was trying to pull a fast one.. Either way I Still haven't had any contact regarding this.. Could have easily taken that one dish off the bill and left it as that.. Definitely won't be dining there again

Superb menu comprising of Mexican and Peruvian. Every dish is a tapas for sharing. We had Taco rib, duck salad, cheese fondue and beef sliders. Also try the signature negronis.

We visited last night and although the food was tasty, the experience of eating here wasn’t great. Firstly, whilst I was still eating, the waiter quickly took away the other diners plates. It would have been courteous to have waited until we had all finished eating, rather than making us feel rushed. Secondly, one of us is a vegetarian and the portion size of his meals were dreadful. With a bill costing us just under £300 for 4 of us, we shouldn’t have left feeling hungry. Would I recommend eating here? Probably not.

TLDR: Really good experience. Menu options were diverse and the food was good, but I expected richer tastes, although that could be because I had been looking forward to eating here since February when I tried their sister restaurant (Bloomsbury Kitchen). Staff were helpful but seemed overwhelmed with guests, so food came much later then expected. Plan for more time if you have more follow-up events for the night.

Went there to celebrate a joint birthday and very impressed. Was quite worried with how long it took for the starters to come out as we'd been there almost an hour waiting however it was definitely worth wait and the claamri was amazing. Service was also beautiful and would love to come again.

Excellent Service The staff was attentive, friendly, and provided efficient service throughout the dining experience.

Popped into the bar and was treated to amazing cocktails and even better service from the bar staff!! Great end to my evening :)

Just wonderful. Food was amazing, drinks was fab. Top restaurant!!!!

Excellent quality if you like to share mexican/peruvian style dishes. Order a few of them and enjoy the feast. It's flavoursome, it's colourful, and the cocktails make the entire dinner a brilliant experience!

Excellent Peruvian and Mexican dishes. Very hot and spicy. Great service, very attentive and friendly but professional. Pleasantly decorated with good seating arrangement. The steak and crispy chicken were delicious.

Bonne cuisine avec un juste équilibre dans les goûts et des prix adaptés.

Let me tell you about the absolute blast we had at Leicester Square Kitchen. It was our first time, and we popped in for Sunday lunch not really knowing what to expect. Man, were we blown away! First things first, the food is something else. No joke, it's to die for. It's one of those places where you take your first bite and you're like, "Woah, where have you been all my life?" I still can't stop thinking about how good it was. But what really sealed the deal for us was Natalia, our server. She was such a star! She was super kind and patient with us, and you could tell she really cared about making sure we had a great experience. It's not every day you come across someone like her in the hustle and bustle of the city. So if you're in the area and you're hungry, do yourself a favor and swing by Leicester Square Kitchen. You won't be disappointed. We're already planning our next visit. Because let's be honest, food this good? It's worth coming back for!
