Absolutely loved Maggie Jone’s it’s a cozy, small restaurant, with a locals vibe. Everything was just perfect, d despite that we walked in without a reservation. The food is amazing, with great ingredients, attention is flawless and the lamb was amazing!!!!!!

After being closed for two years following a fire, it was wonderful to see this restaurant finally reopen — and even better to experience it again. My wife and I visited last night, and from the moment we walked in, it felt like coming home. The restoration has been done beautifully, keeping the same cosy, welcoming atmosphere that made this place so special in the first place. The staff were absolutely brilliant — friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleased to have customers back. We were especially delighted to meet Christine, the manager, and so pleased to see that she is still there. It really added to the experience and made the evening feel even more personal and familiar. The food was absolutely gorgeous, every bit as good as we remembered. It’s reassuring (and impressive) to see that the high standards have been maintained. A lovely evening from start to finish, and we’re so glad to have our favourite restaurant back where it belongs. Highly recommended.

I had been a regular patron of Maggie Jones's until it had to close a couple of years ago due to a fire. As soon as it reopened, some friends and I made a reservation and were relieved to see that the restaurant still had the warm, cozy vibe as before. The menu is still pretty much the same with several tasty options and a set menu, if you would like. Most recently, some friends and I decided to make a reservation for New Year's Eve, and it was the most fun! The tables were decorated for the occasion with party hats and other decor. The playlist was mostly from the '80s, I believe, which is my era, so my friends and I enjoyed that as well. Also the wait staff is very efficient and a lot of fun. I think I found my new New Year's Eve destination! Who

Lovely lunch! The mash was so good and the salmon was equally delicious. The service was warm, friendly and attentive, and eating at lunchtime was especially nice as it was quiet and relaxed.

I booked this for my partner’s birthday - our first visit. The food was great but the service was very poor. We had to keep waiting ages for staff to check on us, to get basics which hadn’t been provided, like the water we’d asked for when we arrived, the wine list, the accompanying parts of dishes, coffee, the card machine to pay and so on. They clearly closed down the downstairs area of the restaurant around 9.30pm (on a Saturday in December) while the upstairs was still very lively. This meant that they were getting out bin bags, scraping down tables and climbing on tables to rearrange decor, all before we’d been offered desserts or coffee. In fact, we were never offered these - I had to get up and go and ask someone for a coffee for my partner, so that they would remember we were there and come and clear the dishes from the table. At every stage of the meal, there was something we had to wait for or get up and ask for. I’d asked on booking they do something small just to acknowledge my partner’s birthday, but they didn’t. It was just very clear all the way through the evening that they really didn’t care about our experience. Our waiter was very new to the job, not his fault at all as everyone needs time to learn the ropes, but no one else seems to be checking to make sure things were going well. The food and wine were were good, but there are plenty of places in London with equally good food but much better service. We spent over £150 on two courses and a bottle of wine, and we paid the service charge, but came away feeling very deflated. I wouldn’t go back or recommend it anyone else, as they really just dont seem to care about their customers’ experience and if really spoiled my partner’s birthday celebration. Very disappointing.

We had their Fish and Chips meal with a lager 🍺 and bottled water. Very good fish (Atlantic Cod fish) with meaty fries. I like how they serve a broiled half of lemon with the meal. Great on top of my fish. Their lager was pretty excellent as well. Nice meal. Service of our meal was fast as well.

What a gem. The Prince of Wales nails that classic London-pub feel: warm lighting, comfy leather banquettes, framed heritage prints, and a beautifully kept bar with a brass foot rail and chequerboard tiles. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming — “Laura & the team” really do make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. Drinks are spot-on and sensibly priced for Kensington. The cask ales are well kept, there’s a broad range behind the bar, and seasonal specials (hello, Pimm’s and a Hugo spritz) keep things interesting. Plenty of seating for a chat, plus screens for all the live sport without it taking over the room — perfect balance. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient; the place is spotless; and it’s an easy choice whether you’re popping in for a pint, settling in for a match, or meeting friends. Great vibe, great value, great pub.

I don't normally give 5Stars but this place deserves my marking. It's in a busy hot-spot in London and the service/quality was fantastic. Staff are attentive and polite. Food came quickly and was really good. Pictures of: Festive Burger & Steak & Ale Pie 😋

Nice, nice, nice. a great evening out at Prince of Wales. had a beer, fish and chips and it was a really pleasant and fulfilling experience. Nice atmosphere, nice ambience and great place. Thank you, Prince of Wales, I really enjoyed.

Ula was very attentive and frequently checked up on me whether the meal was good or whether I needed anything else. The chef cooked the mussels really perfectly, they were nice and juicy. Thank you Ula and team!

Excellent experience at Côte Kensington. The service by Yula was outstanding welcoming, attentive, and genuinely professional. The food was exceptional, clearly prepared with care by a skilled chef. The atmosphere was relaxed and elegant. Highly recommended.

Sat outside on a sunny day. Nice vibe and dishes. Enjoyed the side of broccoli in particular and the scallop was flavourful. Crab croquette with the cheese was sinfully delicious. 👍
Tercia Skybambi - 4 months ago

I had an absolutely wonderful evening at Côte in Kensington. For starters, I went with calamari, seared scallops, crab maison, and the French onion soup — which was immaculate, rich, and perfectly savoury. For my main, I chose the salmon and swapped the truffle chips for a fresh salad — an excellent decision, as the seasoning was spot-on and every bite was perfect. Dessert was a highlight in itself — the crème caramel was silky, rich, and quickly became my absolute favourite, while the chocolate lava cake was indulgent and perfectly gooey in the centre. Later, I enjoyed a few cocktails, and the new flat white cocktail from their latest range was hands down my favourite. I also tried the “Passion in Paris,” which was equally delightful. The whole evening had a romantic charm, especially with the beautiful Kensington walkway just outside. A special thank you to Krish, who made the night truly memorable.

We had a very enjoyable pre-concert dinner at the Kensington Cote this week. The service was friendly and fast, and we were lucky with the weather, so an outside table allowed us to get some early evening sunshine 🌞. The a la carte mains we chose were the Beef Cheek Bourguignon and the Poulet Breton with the Petits Pois à la Française side dish, both were delicious. A couple of free glasses of Crémant Rosé was a nice bonus too. Recommended.

My favourite sushi spot in London - flavour and value wise :-) customer for 6-7 years starting from yashin ocean house. Lunch set and desserts are top notch
Teety So - a week ago

Incredible sushi. Food quality is better than other upscale sushi restaurants in London. This was a last minute frantic google maps find and frankly, a gem of a place. This is my new favourite go-to great neighbourhood Japanese. Coming back for the Omakase asap. The Otoro and Chutoro were like pure butter!!!
Lucia A. - a month ago

This is a gem in the town! Food was great and service was excellent. My sons order the 2nd round after they had their fresh sashimi. My wife was happy with their vegetarian options (nice if they have more vegetarian selections). They kept saying it’s the best they had in London. Next time when we visit London and we will visit Yashin Sushi again!
Sammy Shiu - 6 months ago

We had a fantastic meal at Yashin: the sushi was superb and the chefs are incredibly talented. The staff were also wonderfully kind and welcoming… perhaps a little too kind, because they seemed happy to let absolutely anything slide. Halfway through our omakase, a couple of takeaway guests in tracksuits were seated at the sushi counter and started watching TikTok videos out loud, as if the restaurant had suddenly turned into a food court. It completely broke the atmosphere and sadly put us off staying for dessert. Yashin is genuinely excellent, but the counter deserves the same respect the chefs put into every piece of sushi. A gentle phone ban and keeping those seats for dine-in guests would protect what should be a really special experience.

We had not been back to The Greyhound for 10 years after coming while on holiday…coming back was amazing! We booked a table ahead to watch a football game and it was waiting for us! Glad I did because the place filled up! Food was yummy and service was amazing! Henry and Laura were absolutely lovely! We enjoyed helping them practice their Spanish as well😄! We will for sure be back!

Stopped by for a quick drink, first visit. Nice smart pub. A few outside tables at the front of the pub.Large inside seating area at the rear of the pub, obviously geared up for sports since they have three big screens on the walls so you don't miss anything. Food available but we didn't stay to eat. Good service. Good choice of drinks at usual London prices. If you want to see a football match then this is a good place to go if they're showing it.

This place just blew out my expectations today. We were in the area casually, and I thought this would be just a convenient way to have food, more like a fast food experience. However I was wrong! We got a cozy and nice table in the back. We order just a few things that we were planning to share, but portions are very generous and good quality - Everything was delicious. Unfortunately we couldn’t finish all, but speaking of generosity, the staff working there packaged everything again so we could take it home. Service was great, you could see these are folks that are going the extra mile to get their customers happy. I’m surprise it doesn’t have better reviews on average, but trust me, give it a try!! Whether you are a local like me, or a tourist, you won’t be disappointed.

This is an excellent restaurant. Clean facilities, polite staff and great food! You must stop by if you like shawarma. I ordered lamb shawarma and tabouli salad and they tasted wonderful. They were open even around 8:30pm when we got there. All three of us really enjoyed the food. 👍👏👏
Grandmaster Azad - a week ago

Delicious food , small restaurant only few tables available. Quick service Only thing to say , they brought starters and the shawarma wraps too close so no time to enjoy the starters and ended up eating everything together . We will definitely go again but will ask to leave some time till we get our mains

Lovely spot — but please fix those chairs! Ranoush Juice on Ken High is one of my favourite go-to places — great service, delicious food, and the best fresh mint tea and hummus in town! Everything is perfect except two things I truly beg the owner to fix: 1️⃣ Please, please provide Wi-Fi! Many of us would love to sit here longer to read, write, and work — it’s such a wonderful environment otherwise. 2️⃣ Those super high chairs at the entrance — honestly, what’s with the height? You practically need a ladder to climb up! As a solo traveller, I love sitting upfront to work or research, but those chairs are a back-and-hip hazard. Everything else — top marks. Just lower the chairs and add Wi-Fi, and Ranoush would be perfection.

My visit was ok, nothing special, and that applies to both the food and the service. The fried king prawns were not fully de-veined, which was off-putting, and the courgettes and carrots that came with them were drenched in oil. The oil was clean, but there was far too much of it. The fish and chips were below average. The spicy pizza was probably the best dish we had, it tasted nice, but the base was very doughy and almost undercooked. Our waiter, Maria Beatrice, was very polite and pleasant. Overall, this place isn’t worth a visit or the price in my opinion. The food is below average. The interior is nice. I do not recommend.

Avoid, you can find much better afternoon tea elsewhere for £100. We got afternoon tea at this cafe. I got Darjeeling tea and it was very weak, almost like drinking hot water. The food is nothing to write home about. The cucumber sandwich was very bland. The bread they used was like cardboard. The jam given was the standard bonne maman jar which you can find in any grocery store. The service too was terrible. We had asked for a vegetarian tea set but they brought a meat based one instead so it had to be returned and replaced. They also seated us by the door at first then asked us if we wanted to move tables after we gave our orders. Last but not the least, they charged us 25% service charge, much higher than the standard 15%. So the £79 item on the menu turned into £100 by the time the check was brought. I will not be going back.

Passed by the cafe yesterday with their sweets calling my friend and my names. We said tomorrow for breakfast. Coffee and sweets. Did not expect a full menu as well as multiple choices for drinks. Had my first Spanish Latte - sweet smooth and elegant. An egg, mayo, and bacon sandwich. Yum! And ended the meal with Oreo Cheesecake and Black Forrest Cake. Wanted more, but my stomach can only expand so much. Very relaxed and classy atmosphere. The service was amazing!

The pani puri was one of the best we've had - it was such a wonderful blend of textures (crunchy and soft). The fish curry was delicious and creamy, and the black gram dal was so wonderfully nutty. Service was excellent as well. It also had a very nice and fancy interior but not at a bad price point. Thanks for having us! Insta: @twochewfoodies

Chakra’s a great spot if you’re after flavourful Indian food. They’ve got some outdoor seating, and the street it’s on is nice and quiet. Everything we ordered was really tasty and came out quickly, which was a bonus. The only downside is that there aren’t many options for kids or for those who prefer milder dishes.

We had made a digital reservation and showed up at the indicated hour but found out that the cooking had not started yet. We were welcomed courteously nevertheless and put at ease that we would make it on time for our theatre show. The food was absolutely delicious, the service outstanding considering the circumstance. We shall definitely go again when in London.

The Kensington Curry Club were pleased to hold their September meeting at Chakra Kensington. The most helpful manager devised a menu for the seven of us that included an inspired selection of starters followed by main courses that included a perfectly prepared ‘Old Delhi Butter Chicken’, Paneer Butter Masala, delicious Dal Makhani along with a range of accompaniments. The service was immaculate and very friendly in the comfortable dining room….I expect that a number of our members will be returning to this delightful restaurant!
Mark Gubbins - a year ago

What a fantastic experience and wonderful cuisine. Excellent staff very knowledgeable brilliant atmosphere really comfortable, I ate everything and licked the plate clean. I had the chicken curry and it was delicious probably the best curry I’ve had in a long while. The mushroom rice you could eat on its own that’s how good it was. This is a boutique restaurant vey small but comfortable the atmosphere is very nice you will definitely have to book or be disappointed. This is probably the best Indian restaurant in London I was amazed how good the food was definitely I will be back there again and again. Fantastic exquisite food beautiful surroundings.

The apettizers were nice. Pizza is good. The only thing i did not like was the four cheese as it tasted like margartia. The service need more training for staff.

My friend and I enjoyed the Christmas carbonara - it looks, smells and tastes like the festive season! Great amount as well haha we're both feeling stuffed. Rich in sauce and generous in turkey bits. I was worried turkey will be conventionally dry but in fact it's very tender and we are both very impressed. Best turkey ever.

Our second visit to this branch having been months ago. It’s a nice little restaurant with a ‘bistro’ feel in a mews street in a nice area. Mid afternoon after New Year meant it was very quiet. Service was fine if a little slow at times, particularly when we first entered. Food was fine. Vouchers made it good value.
Tony Chamberlain - a week ago

Typical tourist area restaurant that can serve up food quick. The Pizza is surprisingly good with a unique spicy sauce. You should just skip any pastas or appetizers and just order pizza here

On a lovely sunny day, They’re outside patio area is very continental and relaxing. I came with a two for one voucher I ate both of the lasagnas to myself😊. Only disappointment on the food was the lasagna was put onto a plate, on other reviews of Prezzoits in its dish….. So it went cold pretty quickly and latched that authentic Italian Lasagna, That disappointment was made up by superb staff Amer and Ania. A credit to Prezzo !!

I went there for dinner with my friends yesterday and I believe our server was David. From the start to the end he was attentive to our table, spoke to us and joked around with us which made the whole experience a lot more better. As someone with a Gluten Allergy he gave me a full folder with all the allergens highlighted which made picking my meal out a lot easier. I really enjoyed my Gluten free starter and main, but sadly no pictures for the two dishes I ordered because it was devoured very quickly. Overall, a really great experience and the great service we received just made everything 100 times a lot better.

I found this gem of a restaurant my second morning in London. I ate breakfast every day after that and had dinner the last night in town. The food was amazing…I could just eat the bread and be happy. The staff was so accommodating to my food allergies and made me feel so welcome. If you are staying in London put this place on your list. The homemade donuts with Chantilly cream, crème , patisserie, and melted dark chocolate was the best dessert I have had in all of my travels around Europe.

If I could give 6 stars, I would! We came for an early lunch and had a 50% off code. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was delightful. My husband had steak and I had the special risotto which was to die for. Pornstar martinis are the best ever. Incredible service and in such a relaxed manner - we are so happy to visit here time and time again and it’s a firm favourite. Huge thank you to Leah and Jessie ❤️❤️ made our first time in London as newly weds one to remember ❤️ thank you xx

If you’re looking for fresh-squeezed orange juice, fabulous mimosas, and truly delicious food look no further! The bacon is some of the best I’ve ever had, nice and crispy, and the pancakes are TO DIE FOR. The vibe is cute and the staff is warm and friendly. We will hit this spot every time we’re in town!
