The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in London

There was a great atmosphere from start to finish we was welcomed instantly and made to feel special. It is a unique on full of supporters and a hidden gem in London.

Friday 18th November we visited the branch of Costa in the basement of the Bentalls Centre in Kingston. As we were placing our order we were informed that our drinks would be served in take away cups, even though we were sitting in. When we ask why ceramic cups were not being used, when there plenty on view, we were informed that they did not have the staff to wash them up. The use of take out cups seems to be a growing trend we have found in various branches of Costa that we have visited recently. We ordered two flat whites, £3.30 each, which were served by a rather miserable member of staff. We had to clear a table before we could sit at it, the staff did not appear too inclined to clear the tables. Although the coffee was good, we prefer the flavour from a ceramic cup.

Unbelievably rude staff. I’ve never experienced such awful hospitality in all of my life. I went for drinks with some old friends, beginning if the night was so so. Overpriced drinks, ended up spending silly amounts on lacklustre cocktails. Ended up going to the party downstairs. Everyone was smoking cigarettes and doing drugs openly inside of the venue. Extremely snotty and pretentious staff. Manager has a horribly inflated ego. I would seriously avoid this place at all costs.

Ni siquiera lo intentes. Los lugareños (apelantemente) parecen no tener sentido. La comida tardó mucho en llegar. Otros lugareños a pocos pasos de distancia, donde mucho aprecio de nuestra empresa y donde más rápido en la entrega.

I ordered some tea which was nice and reasonably priced, then went back to order a sweet treat which was just okay. I didn’t like that it was clingfilm wrapped as I think that just looks tacky and doesn’t make the food appear fresh. Clingfilm isn’t recyclable either which isn’t great. The lady behind the counter was very nice though I’ll add. It’s a nice place inside but it really needs a loo. The problem with calling it a cafe is that you’d naturally expect most cafes to have toilet facilities. It dampens the overall experience knowing that you have to leave the place to ‘do your business’. Regarding the toilets issue, I’ve seen the manager reply to other reviews saying the staff toilet isn’t available to customer for health and safety reasons, which at first glance, is an immediate concern for the staff. There are a few places along the street do have toilet facilities as I’ve used them many times. The only place that I’m certain doesn’t have toilets is ‘The Nook’ which is a takeaway place so doesn’t really need them. Is there nothing that can be done with the staff toilets? Surely you can just get them risk assessed so customers can use them. There are loads of places in Hampstead with basement toilets so I can’t see there being a massive problem with them being below the premises – Hampstead Mezze on Flask Walk is a good example. Instead of saying it’s a health and safety risk, it would just be better to properly explain why the toilets aren’t fit for use, then that would hopefully stop people leaving negative reviews. The other fantastic thing about a toilet would be that, if located at the back of the store, customers would be able to glance at the selection of products on the way to the facility itself. Please do feel free to reply to this review as I’m genuinely intrigued what’s really stopping customers use the staff toilets. I think 3 stars is fair for the place in its current state. Personally, I’d love to see it more as a cafe than a shop as half the space seems wasted at the moment as you have to be let into the shop side to browse.

We are no longer local, we were up that way and passing by it seemed a nice place to grab a bite. Good choice too, lovely coffee. Friendly staff and cakes to die for. They got my order wrong, it wasn’t the end of the world and despite offers I declined their kind invitation to change it for what I did order. The incorrect order was delicious, as was their carrot cake. They were busy, we were served quickly and our order was delivered just as quick. I’ve been reading through some of the other reviews, particularly the bad ones and it doesn’t reflect the place I visited. The staff are friendly, attentive and very busy. The tables were clean and the place itself was clean tidy bright and welcoming. Five stars and a recommendation that you visit.

Been going to Taboon on/off for almost 20 years, service can be a bit confusing and can be very unwelcoming to people who aren't from a certain religion - but as a rule I never let terrible racial abuse come between me and good falafel!

scammed into purchasing overpriced toastie and coffee... with no prices on the wall charged £9 for a toastie - bacon looked like it had been sitting on display for days with some sliced cheese heated up in a microwave... £4 for a coffee - tasted odd... Pretty upset about the whole experience

Gran servicio y excelentes panes de masa madre. Nos sorprendió lo mal que estaban los cruasanes de almendra chocolate: la capa dura azucarada eliminaba la “esponjosidad” que uno esperaba. Esta capa de azúcar elimina el placer de la experiencia y en realidad no pasamos del primer bocado! ¡Por favor, cambie su receta no sumergiéndola en jarabe azucarado! La revisión del personal habría sido de 5 estrellas, pero los cruasanes de almendra de chocolate impactantemente malo (que probamos en varias ocasiones separadas) son una completa decepción.

¡Miserable personal! nunca antes me había sentido tan inoportuno en un lugar como ese y confía en mí intenté ser amable , 3 empleados trabajando cuando llegué y estaban viendo pasar el mundo lo cual está bien pero durante como 3 minutos nadie dijo nada y cuando vino el rubio me miró como ‘¿qué haces aquí?’ ¿Ni siquiera hola o puedo ayudar? dijo, preparó el café y me dio el croissant como si estuviera haciendo un gran favor y simplemente se colocó allí y me ignoró completamente. Deberían empezar a considerar cambiar los nombres de este lugar para ‘’no disfrutar del Jugo’’

Bought a "flatbread" as a side for £1.50 and I ended up with a very small, very stale, piece of brown bread. Incredible work. I could have gone to a supermarket and bought my own loaf of bread for that price. Very bizarre you claim that flatbread is a small piece of brown bread..keep up the good work

This place is insanely good!! Super Tasty in every way and kind. I would say though... This place is a bit pricey, maybe a bit too pricey

Visité el pub el 22 de enero de 2019 para desayunar. Había estado usando el pub de forma intermitente durante 10 años o más sin problemas. En esta ocasión llegué a eso de las 12. 30 y pidió una cerveza y desayuno. La nueva camarera me informó que tenía que cambiar el barril. Cuando se entregó, de repente noté un fuerte olor a lejía en el bar, pero supuse que estaban limpiando las cubiertas. Cuando probé la cerveza me atraganté. Sabía como (lo que imagino) lavando sabores líquidos. Obviamente, había una gran concentración de limpiador de tuberías en el vidrio. La camarera estaba confundida y confesó que no sabía de dónde había salido el abrumador olor a lejía, pero admitió que mi vaso de cerveza apestaba. Llamó a su superior, quien procedió a investigar y luego limpió la línea correctamente. No me dijeron nada, solo lugares comunes, pero ella estaba claramente preocupada. Después de visitar el baño para limpiarme la garganta, me devolvieron el dinero y me ofrecieron una cerveza diferente. En ningún momento admitieron ni aconsejaron que me había tragado una sustancia cáustica. Se trata de contener la situación, sin tener en cuenta mi bienestar. Salí del pub enfadado por su actitud. No volveré

Hugely disappointed by the staff's behaviour, the lady at the till, called me rude in front of the whole queue. Please do not go there if you respect yourself.

Great coffee and lovely staff. However, since becoming dog friendly the relaxation element I associate with going for coffee has declined rapidly. I now have to contend with dogs whining, barking and growling and on a regular basis. Can owners at least be made aware of a duty to keep dogs under control? Perhaps a notice can be displayed somewhere?
