Starter - Butternut and ginger with coconut cream soup with side order of coco bread 10/10 delicious 😋 I would have had a second bowl if I could have managed it. Main - Monkfish tail in shellfish sauce with buttery mash, Ma's Benachin Gambian national rice and grilled stem broccoli outstanding. Gambian rice highly seasoned and not what I was expecting. Still tasty. Loved it. Dessert - Winter fruit crumble tart with Madagascar vanilla gelato! Struggled to finish but wasn't going to leave a scrap! This was a dining experience to remember. I ticked this off my list of fine dining! Surpassed all my expectations! Myrtle the manager at Papa L's Kitchen was welcoming, friendly and made my experience enjoyable. The service was good. Meecha my server was very attentive. Overall I would highly recommend dining at Papa L's Kitchen. I will be back.

Really tasty food, perfectly cooked and presented. Didn’t get the name of the lovely Bajan woman that greeted and welcomed us in, she was very warm and attentive. It was a lovely Valentines night 💌

Lovely experience. The food was great and the people greater. Enjoyed the Gambian inspired food, we had pork cheek and salmon mains.

Casual, really nice, relaxed venue. Stumbled in here - wasn't planned, but we didn't want to walk any further and think we were really lucky to find this place! Lovely, Lovely staff - warm and friendly. Food was excellent; can recommend the Salmon, lovely and light, delicious; the sweet potato croquets are to die for. We were in there by accident - but will be going again when back in the area and would recommend. Very nice!

Papa L's is great for a casual night out - the food is all light and creative and the staff are all very friendly. The food is quite unique and different. Ambience is nice and relaxed as well, and the restaurant is very central / only a few mins from Piccadilly Circus. We tried the Halibut and the Shrip for mains with a side of rice, and I'd recommend all these dishes. If you don't like spicy food (which we do) I'd tell the waiters before you order since a lot of the dishes are quite spicy. One negative is food took a long time to be served (more than an hour to get to main courses)

339 Harrow Road, Westbourne ParkI have absolutely no idea how or why this place gets good reviews - it's like they're all reviewing a different restaurant! The food here was simply terrible. Starters were not too bad, although the waitress struggled to understand the difference between 'hot' and 'cold'. Our table was under a bright white neon light that might have been appropriate for a nasty surgical procedure but was not exactly gentle and welcoming for a cozy dinner. Still, we could live with all that... except the main course was truly dreadful. I had a lamb stew which turned out to be bits of greasy meat swimming in some sort of grey liquid, and the veggie stuff was either tasteless or actually unpleasant. The guy that runs the place was perfectly friendly but nobody cleared away our (largely uneaten) plates for what seemed like an age and the waitress, though also friendly and smiley, seemed to have disappeared altogether. Nor was it cheap - nearly £80 for two - which was just a joke really. I love Ethiopian food, but this place - never again.
