Best London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Tottenham Court Road Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Great tasting food and beautifully presented. Service was great too, fast, polite, courtious, attentive. Atmosphere, intimate, dark, buzzing, special. It was our anniversary, so went for the 'Plum' set menu. That was £90 per person. There was very good portion sizes for evethying that came in our set menu, which i was surprised as had expected smaller portion. Food is expensive, the most we have paid anywhere, if we were to go again might go for al acarte option but that might come to the same cost.

I came here with my wife and baby but much to my surprise, there were not really any accommodations for babies for example basic things like there were no baby chairs, changing facilities, etc - slightly disappointing considering the cost of everything but nonetheless the restaurant itself was very nice and clean. The staff were very attentive and looked after us well for the most part but the food was a little bit too bland for my liking, even the 'spicy' options were very quite bland and lacked flavour. Overall, we enjoyed a nice evening out but considering how much we paid for the night, I'm not quite sure I would do it again here for the foreseeable future.

The lighting of the restaurant was extremely dark. The food was a little bland for my liking and lacked flavour, I would have expected a little more flavour from a restaurant of this calibre. The service was a little too pushy for my liking there were too many waiters and waitresses serving us and forcing us to order drinks. Without even asking they poured our water in one glass and pushed for us to buy another bottle which we had no choice to do so. This place is extremely expensive so be prepared for a hefty bill at the end of the night go in with low expectations.

Second time eating at hakkasan, first time was many years ago. Went for the weekend brunch set menu which wasn't given to us until we asked for it but is great value as it includes a bottle of champagne (between 2) and a cocktail each. The duck salad was very good. We ordered a la carte for our daughter and the seabass was delicious but at £60ish was quite pricey. The lighting was also very low so if you like it dark and atmospheric this will suit you, otherwise it's quite hard to read the multiple menus.

We tried the Taste of Hakkasan menu and it was a great choice. The dim sum is amazing. I'd say order it twice instead of sharing. The salad was okay, but the dim sum was way better. For the main dishes, we had beef and pork. Both were really good and had a tasty sauce. It was nice to have the real deal that other places try but can't quite get right. The rice was also great. You get a pot of rice and some asparagus, but I wish there was more rice. A couple of things to know: the restaurant is in a basement and you have to go down a kind of sketchy alley to find it. At first, I thought we were lost until I saw the menu on the wall. Inside, it's really dark. Each table has a bright light, but the rest is dark. The waiters wear dark clothes and surprised me a couple of times.

An amazing restaurant that has stood the test of time, it’s over 100 years old! Ordering the snails is a must. Find classical French cooking at this place, in a comfortable setting, where it’s easy to catch up with friends and family. There is bag and coat storage at reception. Ladies toilets are on the upper floor, whereas the men’s toilets are on the ground floor… For any of you on wheels. Excellent service, with kind staff. Shout out to the person who took my reservation via the phone, I really appreciate that they made a few jokes with me in a good natured way.

Amazing decorations Amazing food Professional and helpful staff Highly recommend it, specially for special occasions. I had the wild mushroom risotto and my friends tried duck and steak! We all loved what we had. Oh, also the French onion soup which was the cherry on top

Beautiful place and the food was delicious. We went there on Sunday and we chose to not have the Sunday roast but everything that we chose was absolutely delicious. The bread was perfect and in my opinion a restaurant that make a good bread usually has a good food in general. The price was perfect and the wine very delicious. I will be back to try fillet of beef "Rossini".

Fantastic lunch at the “Oldest French Restaurant in London”. Food and service was impeccable, highly recommended for lunch and/or dinner…. and one of the very few Dog friendly restaurants in central London. Snails with garlic butter sauce, definitely have lots of the delicious homemade bread to soak up all the remaining sauce. Fillet Rossini cooked to perfection and a delectable light lemon tart to finish. Then sit outside and watch the sights of Soho walking by.

-Highly recommended as an independent jewel of a French restaurant - Had a really enjoyable experience when I visited recently. The food was excellent, high quality and straightforwardly well presented food, also great selection of wine. A really relaxing evening, the staff charming, attentive and helpful, so friendly and unhurried not intrusive yet charming service. Felt like welcomed friends. I found it to be an excellent restaurant which I would not hesitate to revisit the next time that I am in the area.

Great evening here. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Food was very tasty and beautifully presented. There were plenty of choices on the menu including vegetarian and fish. There were some different dishes from a standard Thai restaurant which was good. I tried the soft shell crab and mango salad which was delicious. I will definitely return for a third visit when I am next in London.

Atmosphere was amazing, dumplings were amazing, calamari was exquisite and the sauces provided were clearly hand made and not store bought. Only let down was Lamb Shanks tasted bland for me personally , other than that, everything was amazing and I’d deffo go again. Very nice of them to throw in a little birthday dessert on the house too.

Very friendly personnel. However I didn’t like the way my noodle was prepared. It was watery and looks different from the picture on the menu card. I complaint about this and they were very professional and friendly with their response which I really appreciate.

A devine and exquisite fine dining perfect for an anniversary dinner. The restaurant is set in an active social setting (if you like that). The food and flavours are tantalising for the senses and simply added to the experience

Really like the atmosphere prefectly goes with the brazillian theme. Food options are limited but vegetarian options are available. Booked through Fork and received a half price deal on food. 5pm to 7pm they have Happy Hour deal where you can enjoy 2 for 1 on house cocktails every day. Food was decent not great really like there fries. They have surprised us with cheese cake from restaurant side for birthday celebration. The staff are lovely and very accommodating.

Food and drink here is decent. Burgers and sides are delicious. Steak was alright. Price can be bit high. As it’s in central London. Staff were very nice and friendly. Restaurant interior has a street vibe in it. It goes well together with there Brazilian theme. They have a house sauce condiment which very nice. I would love to go there again.

The food here is great, and service is friendly. However, every time I've been here, it takes ages for the food to arrive. Fine if you have the time and you're enjoying a few drinks as you wait. Not recommended if you're trying to fit in a quick lunch/dinner

This restaurant is located about 3-4 min walk from Tottenham Court Road tube station. I went on a Monday at 1pm so it was almost empty, however the service was extraordinary. Great cocktails and the food was nice. I have the churrasco steak and added the blackened prawns. Great chips. Also the pao the queijo was really nice
Yolanda - a month ago

It was a beautiful restaurant, felt like we were in the Amazon. The food was delicious. I had the pão de queijo which is my all time favourite Brazilian food and it was 5/5. The sirloin steak with chimichuri was perfectly medium rare, delicious! My friends had different other dishes like the spicy winds and the feijoada which they also both liked. Our server was attentive as well. We will be coming back!

Based on several visits, the service is always excellent and the music is fantastic. We love going to watch Soraia perform in particular. If you make a reservation, expect a phone call to check you're still coming as the venue is very intimate so it's important to advise if you arent able to come anymore. Coming here is always a lovely end to an evening.

Small pub, a bit overcrowded and not much fresh air. Place itself nothing special, but live music was perfect! In addition: Didn't know that the place was Amy Winehouse favorite hiding place.

The food looks amazing but it lack the flavor. Had the beef bolgoggie Bibimbap with raw egg and which lacked the flavor and marinade of a Korean BBQ. The spicy calamari had no spice at all. The service and hospitality need some attention. After, guid me down stairs and left me chose a table, followed by taking my order I was told I’ll be move in the middle of the meal if they had more customers!! Now, this is a good place to start if you want to be introduced to Korean Food.

I've been coming here for years, and every time I went to go for dinner with a friend, I think of this place first. I've introduced so many people to this cute little restaurant, and everyone always loved it so so so much. The Bibimbap hot Stone bowls are just so fantastic, healthy, flavorful, everything your body, mind, and soul needs. The service is polite and easy going. I really can only recommend this place as one of the very best, and affordable spots in Soho, and pretty much all of London.

We arrived at the last order and they were happy to seat us. We ordered varieties of different items and I had seafood Rameon, Japche and teoppoki. Rameon and japche were ok but teoppoki was very bad. They initially forgot about teoppoki as had to ask for them after we almost finished all our other foods. You can see how they were microwaved, undercooked and all cracked and dry. I appreciate it was a last order time but the same level of care should have been paid for. I’d not choose to go there for that.

Bibimbap Soho is a Korean restaurant located somewhat inappropriately on Greek Street! 😅 We had been wandering about the are trying to find somewhere to eat before going to a show and luckily got a table here after a short wait. It has an interesting range of Korean dishes and we were all able to find something we liked. Service was nice and friendly
Neil Broadhurst - a month ago

I came here a few times for bibimbap before and more recently again for the kimchi and seafood pancakes. I really like this place, the variety is much smaller than a regular Korean restaurant in that it is mostly bibimbap, so there is no Korean BBQ or bulgogi etc. but they do have a few noodle dishes, soups and sides. It is more casual vibes, no reservations are possible but we didn’t need one as there were lots of seats. Portions are big, the size of the bowels are massive. Price is ok, I would say moderate about £20 per person. I really liked the Kimchi and Seafood pancakes. You can also customise your own bibimbap and there is a brown rice option. The food here is not spicy though. I cannot eat spicy food so that was a plus for me, but if you are looking for spicy or BBQ then this is not the place. Service was overall good, and as with almost every place in London they add service charge to your bill.

Very cool vegetarian place with a nice variety of dishes and options. The system is great and everything happens really fast! The workers are really friendly and the atmosphere is special. The only thing I can complain about is the noise: it’s really loud and full but it kind of adds to the original atmosphere!!

Govinda’s Restaurant exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly, making us feel right at home. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly clean and fresh. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and made with care. Best of all, the prices were reasonable, ensuring a fantastic dining experience without breaking the bank. Highly recommend for anyone craving good food, cleanliness, and friendly service!

Every time I go to Oxford Street I like to eat at this restaurant, today I went for the veggie menu, a samosa and a rose milk. The food here is always very fresh, it’s a mixture of a lot of nice flavours very well combined. It feels like homemade food. Everything tasted really nice, but the samosa was incredibly good, it was so crispy with a little hint of cinnamon that makes it perfect. The rose milk it was also so good that I can’t wait to go there again! The music is very relaxing, however this restaurant is so busy that the queue never ends, but It moves very fast anyway. The only thing not so nice (totally my fault) is that the table near the counter which I choose to seat at, is not the best place to seat as there was constantly people queuing behind me and touching my chair which made this experience not 100% pleasant. The food here is very affordable, good value for money. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

While it's not my usual style to leave a pinpointing negative feedback but, I feel compelled to share my experience for the sake of improvement. Unfortunately, I have to deduct 2 stars due to the service. During our visit with my sister and one-year-old nephew, we encountered a female staff member who seemed less accommodating, particularly because of the baby. Despite not taking longer than usual to enjoy our meal, we felt rushed due to the long queue and the constant pressure from this staff member. It created an unwelcoming atmosphere, which was disappointing, especially since no other staff members made us feel this way. Makes me feel bad as her tone and demeanor was unpleasant. However, I must commend the food quality and the rest of the staff, who were exceptional. We tried the govindas thaali, it had a variety of sabzi, starter and dessert, loved each item to the fullest. The ambiance and decor were also noteworthy, contributing to a pleasant dining experience overall. I highly recommend trying the food, but do take your time to fully appreciate it; after all, good food deserves to be savored mindfully. Radhe radhe 🙏🏼😇

Value for money is excellent. The food is delectable and the staff super friendly. We had the The Large, The Deluxe and The Govinda’s menus. They made the latter completely vegan for me as this menu isn’t fully vegan. The restaurant is not too big but crowded as it’s very popular. If you’re looking for a calm and quiet place, I wouldn’t recommend this during the rush hour, otherwise I highly recommend this place. I’m definitely coming back.

The food was good, not great. The beef was succulent and tender. The family of shrimps was tasty, the lamb was smelling super strong. The wine choices are limited but most pared well with the dishes. We were happy with our glasses. The atmosphere - during dinner, it’s like being in the market. The noise, OMG The service - surprisingly phenomenal. We met 2 of the friendliest and happiest waiting staff in the whole London. So I would be happy to come back for them.

Simply the best tapas I have ever tried in my life. Everything was just so well executed and delicious. It is walk-in only so make sure to come early or you will have to queue (we waited around 45min).

It is a simple setup and layout with a bustling vibe that reflects where their real focus is: the food and the service - and they nailed it. Some of the dishes I’ll definitely remember when I’m in the nursing home being fed reheated slop. I stepped out of the drizzle and snow into a place running at a different speed to the world outside. There was no line, probably due to the looming rail strike and the light snow - but if there is, wait it out. The menu boasts a tantalizing array of tapas, the well curated wine list elevates the dining experience, complementing the dishes well, the staff recommended some good wines so if you don’t know what to get, you can ask and are in safe hands. Sitting at the counter is an entertaining and captivating spectacle, the skills of the chefs who are moving fast while creating the delectable delights you will enjoy, right before your eyes. The waitstaff graciously answered my questions about the restaurant, wine and the dishes. Located conveniently for a pre-theatre feast that might even overshadow the show you see after. Barrafina is a benchmark for tapas, as I ate the dishes I felt I could understand the intent of the food and the balance of flavours, thinking “I get it”, “I dig it” and “that’s what that dish is meant to be like”.

Honestly this might be the best restaurant in london when it comes to both price and quality ratio. I understand why it’s so hyped now. The food was simply amazing and the staff there reminded me of my primary school friend back in China called Alex. Everything was so fresh, and so well crafted, I will definitely come back. Only down side is that it gets quite crowded with bizness ppl, and they get drunk quite fast and also get quite annoying

An excellent tapas bar; one of my favorite stops in London. I hadn't visited in a while so this my first time at this relocated address. A little bigger but the vibe is still great. Excellent food! The best patatas bravas and wonderful 🍷 selections...

It was nice atmosphere and easy to go alone. I had lamb curry. It was quite a spicy but good for me because I love spicy food. If you are not good at spicy food, please have a mild one. The chai after the meal was also satisfying.

The service wonderfully polite and efficient. The food was perfectly spiced. I enjoyed the eggplant curry with a side of bread. I also sampled the fried lentil donuts with chutney. The food and service are well worth the value. Would highly recommend.
Emma Franceschi - 2 months ago

I really enjoyed the evening out. The service was exemplary. We tried vegetarian dishes. There are few options for vegetarian. There were lots of non-veg dishes that I would love to taste next time. The food was amazing, the flavour and seasoning on point. The blend of different spices is really good. Some dishes were spicy. I liked mango salad, rasam kathirikai Kari kuzhambu. Please reserve the table before going, we didn't reserve it but managed to find a table but it seemed like a very busy restaurant. The price is reasonable and the food is very tasty. So worth the trip. Overall it's an excellent restaurant and nice place to spend with group of people.

2nd time here and honestly thanks for other reviews that pushed me to come here. What can i say? NO REGRETS AT ALL. I’m a Malaysian traveling often to London, far too long was duped by many indians restaurants lol. But this restaurant is like my mom’s kitchen. Having south indian taste buds it will never lie to you, so every food I ordered, the portion, taste and freshness was on the dot. I cannot ask more. Price is affordable, atmosphere is classy nearby shopping hotspot. My favorites are thosai with coconut chutney, masala tea, thali set, melagu kholi! Now back to work in Paris with full stomach. Thank God for South Indians lol, life is colorful!

Excellent authentic South Indian cuisine! Rich and aromatic flavours and a large selection of meats, fish and vegetarian dishes. Decor is nice and the servers are attentive and professional. The atmosphere is a little loud but all-in-all we had a fantastic experience.
