Had an enjoyable evening and some great dishes on the tasting menu. So what I write here may seem picky. But...we paid over £400 per head (including wine - and non-alcohol - drink pairings). I've been fortunate to eat in a number of Michelin starred places and this isn't at that level IMO. Restaurant is nicely located, very nicely presented and the staff were generally great. The sommelier seemed like they'd had a bad day and not especially inspiring. And I know I'm getting old when one stand-out thought was how many were wearing clothes that didn't fit! The food, which is what we came for, was a mixed bag. None of it was "bad", definitely need to underscore that. Clearly significant skill involved in all of it, which is one box ticked. Nothing worse than visiting a top end restaurant only to think you could prepare the food at home! And there were some stand out dishes. The mackerel/lime/sorrel was a flavour punch, and the sea bream/black radish/perilla was both full of flavour and delicate all at the same time. Definitely my favourite dish. I'd also note the Eastwood cheese/bakewell dish was nice too, but a £15 supplement was a bit cheeky in retrospect (we knew it was a supplement beforehand). Bread and chicken butter was nice (parfait technically well executed)... Others were OK - damning with faint praise at this level really. Earth was a mushroom dish that was nicely executed, Quail pt 2 nice enough and I liked the Final Sweets but reception was mixed around the table (eating all components together made the most of it IMO). A number of others were nice ideas, but missed the mark in key places. Cheese/caviar had nice flavour but the texture wasn't right. Too chewy - pitched a "doughnut", I'd take a doughnut back if it cost 50p from a supermarket and chewed as this did. The chicken sandwich was pretty bland flavour-wise and the texture was on the edge of OK. Flavour was also lacking in the beef/trout/leek dish and the rhubarb/custard (the main flavour of which was the orange cake - didn't mind that, but the menu advertised rhubarb and custard, which I love, and that was nowhere. And a couple technically missed the mark. Cod/fennel/green chili had a small piece of cod that was overcooked - marginally, but overcooked. And whilst the taste was lovely, it wasn't fennel/green chilli. And Quail pt1 was a couple of small pasta parcels, the pasta for which was too thick and the stuffing very solid. Being greedy it's not often the texture of a piece of food detracts from the flavour (if it's there) for me. But this did. Wine pairings were generally very good according to my dinner mates. I was driving so tried the non-alcohol pairings for the first time ever. I probably won't again. Some nice liquids that I wouldn't have thought to try, but some not that great (I should have asked for a list of what they were in advance...perhaps that should just have been offered ;)). There's a lot to like about this restaurant, but with its awards and price point it's operating at a serious level and missed the mark for me, so couldn't recommend it on the basis of this visit.

Upscale restaurant with a Michelin star described as “modern Indian”. Food is expertly and delicately spiced. Every dish is exceptional, from mains to dall, naan and rice. Every dish is taken to another level.

Un montón de grandes opciones para elegir. El yogur griego congelado de nuez y miel era precioso, abundante miel y frutos secos. El servicio era excelente, el yogur era de £ 6 y hay algunos asientos dentro. Recomendar para un lugar de postre en Covent Garden.

siempre una buena elección de opciones que te hacen sentir lleno. El único inconveniente es que se forman colas cuando se llena

Visité a Hankies hace unas semanas y no puedo dejar de pensar en la comida. El Haloumi Hankie es imprescindible y el Pumpkin Paneer Curry era tan sabroso. Gran entorno y servicio excelente. No me puedo quejar de este lugar y estoy deseando volver.

Tuvimos una noche fantástica en Kebab Queen. El concepto es excelente, te sientes como si estuvieras cenando en la mesa de chefs. Nos encantó la calefacción de las encimeras y comer con las manos. La comida era deliciosa! Mi plato favorito fue el plato de pescado seguido del sorbete limpiador de paletas. No fuimos por el maridaje de vinos, pero a pesar de esto se ofrecieron excelentes opciones de cócteles y vinos para maridar con los platos. No lo dudes, reserva hoy mismo para una experiencia inolvidable.

Just had a fabulous lunch in the newly refurbished RSA coffee house. Aubergine, kimichi and vegan mayo salad. Loads of good pastries if you want something sweet or the have a delicious cheese toastie. Nice calming atmosphere despite most people working or having meetings.
