The best restaurants in London

Our air bnb was right across the street from this restaurant but didn’t get a chance to go until the night before we left. Had a Sunday roast with assorted meats and was outstanding. Capped off a great trip

Unfortunately they didn’t let me and my partner in as we didn’t have a booking, or so they said. However the family of white people 2 adults and a child behind us, who also had no booking were welcomed in. I unfortunately needed a bit of time process what had happened to us before I could write this review- disgusting behaviour!

Very happy to see the reopening of this great place! I work locally and my colleagues and I now use CKW regularly for meetings and for winding down drinks and snacks in the courtyard after work. Andrea is always ready to assist with a smile and make you feel welcome. Food is always very good and the menu is reasonably priced. Give it a try if you’re in the area, can’t think you’d be disappointed.

So I found this through reviews, never had Vietnamese before, been to Thailand and love that so thought we would give it a go. If you walked past this place you wouldn’t give a second glance just looks like a small cafe, but think again, when we walked in after booking I thought oh dear, but the food service and family are amazing, they food was absolutely amazing with such a friendly service, drinks cheap, would love to go back and really great experience as the Americans would say, throughly enjoyed the whole evening with fresh healthy ingredients. A,asking value cant wait to go again.

¡Qué hallazgo es este lugar! El restaurante está encantadoramente decorado, acogedor y limpio. Tuvimos una cálida bienvenida. Era tranquilo (era a mitad de semana y temprano para la cena), pero todavía tenía un ambiente encantador. Y, lo más importante, la comida era increíble. Absolutamente impecable de principio a fin, y muy buena relación calidad-precio y habilidad para cocinar. Recomiendo encarecidamente esta joya local.

Really enjoyed the food. I spent some time in Thailand a long time ago and the country has some of my favourite dishes. I was delighted to be reminded of what a great cuisine this is with authentic cookery. We were well fed and watered. Tom Kha soup with vegetables, a veggie / tofu curry and 3 x low alcohol beers for just over £30. They undersell themselves with the service charging way less than 10% for a large group, where many places would stick 12.5% on for a group over 8 people before you've sat down. If you like Thai, you'll like this.

From outside, you probably wouldn’t even considerate. Do. It’s incredible. The margaritas are amazing, ALL the food was delicious, from the nachos to the tacos, including the vegetarian options. The staff our a delight, service is first class. No frills, no fuss, just bloody great Mexican food, done proper well!

We ordered the Tuesday special but upsized to get the house specialties. Food was excellent as was the service. The waiter spent time explaining the menu ad offering suggestions and being a Tuesday and early in the evening the owner spent some time talking to us and giving a bit of history. I highly recommend this as one of the best I have been to in quite a while.

Absolutely amazing restaurant with authentic indian food. Our family loves coming here, and we are always welcomed so nicely by the owner. Would recommend to anyone who wants a nice meal!

I have been using 129 HRD for a couple of seasons now . It is a great stopping point between Highbury and Islington Station and the Emirates Stadium . I have been there for both lunch and dinner and sometimes just for a quick drink after the game . The food is of a good standard and fairly priced - and they have a decent selection of wines . But the place is made by the service and the warm welcome by the manager and his team . Thank you !

La comida, el servicio y la gente más increíbles. ¡Andrei es una estrella! Un ambiente tan agradable y nos impresionó mucho la comida que se compraron para una cena de grupo. ¡Puede satisfacer todas las necesidades dietéticas!

We went here for afternoon tea and enjoyed our time. The interior of the Chinoiserie was impressive and gave a fine impression to start the experience, which was also influenced by their philosophy on food and nature. This was kindly explained by the nice lady who attentively served us throughout our time there, Sabeera. Sabeera made us feel comfortable, patiently providing us the explanation for each food served and checked if we were enjoying the meal. The food and tea did not disappoint, and we were happy to try different types of teas. Definitely a memorable experience.

This restaurant is a great spot to relax, eat good food and enjoy your day. Their menu has a variety of Portuguese food (all of it delicious and satisfying to the stomach)! The staff are very kind and make the portuguese food more authentic.The desserts are lovely and the sangria is one of the best I’ve ever had! I would recommend this place to all my friends. I’m definitely coming again! Complements to the chef!!!

I was pleased to discover this little gem here. Tried some amazing wine and the assistant Sophie was amazing, really welcoming atmosphere and I will definitely be making a return
