"I was extremely disappointed with the service I received at this restaurant. After waiting for 25 minutes to be attended to, the waiter finally came to take our drink order and was behaving erratically and rudely. To my surprise, I later found out that the waiter was actually the owner of the restaurant. I never even received my drink order and ended up leaving because of the poor treatment. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone, as the owner's behavior was unacceptable. The food on other tables looked decent, but the way the owner treated customers is unacceptable. I would only recommend this place to a friend if I wanted them to be treated poorly. I would not want to support this restaurant with my money."

"Hadrian's has been open for a while now, but I only got my first pizzas from there last night and I'm pleased to say they were delicious! They are made to order with fresh dough for the base and tasty ingredients for the topping. They make better pizzas than pizza express or the ones you can buy from Sainsbury Morrisons. I would definitely recommend and I will be returning to Hadrian's again soon to get a lovely capricciosa or napoletana."

"We recently visited Gifto's on a trip to Southall. We had Nihari, Lamb Biryani and Mix Grill for take away. The Nihari was ok. Lamb Biryani was very good and Mix grill was also good. The restaurant was very nice and clean and the service was very good too. Overall a satisfactory visit for dinner."

"I have visited this restaurant several times. It can be challenging to find parking sometimes. The brunch menu is delicious; I had the mushroom toast with eggs, and the spinach pastry was also very tasty. They have a wide variety of cakes; I particularly enjoyed the torte cake with rose and pistachio flavors, which were very sweet. However, I find that the largest size of americano coffee is quite small, and I often feel the need to order two coffees whenever I visit. There are plenty of seating options available, with a great view of the church and a perfect spot for people-watching."

"I was at the Ealing branch so can 't comment on other branches. The acting manager at the store was a completely rude and disregarded my complaints. He has no empathy and no understanding of how to rectify customer service failure. So I went in with two friends and let me start off by saying they had a offer you where if you give your contact details you get a free starter. When it came to order/pay, I was almost overcharged by £2 but luckily I had totalled up my order in my head so was able to correct the acting manager. He said it was because he accidentally charged me the take out price for sitting in...Anyway, my meal came shortly after but one of my friend 's burger came before his starter (it 's a starter for a reason?? . The starter came 5 mins later than the burger so I 'm not sure why they buzzed him so quickly when only part of his meal was ready. My other friend ordered the beef quesadella to start but when this arrived it was devoid of any beef it was a roll with some cheese... I know as part of the offer the starter comes free but if you 're going to send it empty, we 'd rather pay... They took it away and filled it up with some beef when we complained didn 't offer to take money off the bill or cook it from scratch. When I reiterated our dissatisfaction at the end of the meal, the man behind the till shrugged his shoulders and said what 's the real issue? The starter was free and we fixed the issue. I just walked out at that point. Other customers were equally surprised at how rude the man was being to me and my female friend. It was our first and last time there. Very disappointed at the way I was spoken to by staff and unsatisfactory starters/waiting times. I 'll never go here again and neither will my friends or family.Avoid."

"We have been coming here for years but our recent experience was terrible. Service was appalling, they were not busy in the restaurant but very busy with take aways. We arrived at 7pm and left at 8.35 having only had a starter platter in that time. We waited almost an hour for our main course to arrive and then gave up and left. They still presented the full bill to us despite our dissatisfaction and when we complained they took only £5 off it. Wine took ages to arrive as did starters, as did water. They also took 15 mins to tell us they were now out of house white wine. Didn’t offer an alternative for the same price. The management here is clearly an issue, they also need to decide in the kitchen where their priorities lie. Diners or take away! We will not be going back anytime soon as we left hungry and went to another restaurant nearby. I hope you take this review seriously and take actions to ensure no one else has to sit though a similar experience"

"We came for a birthday brunch. I believe its a family run cafe with an authentic French/Italian vibe. I felt very relaxed here. The staff are super friendly and the food was lovely, I went for a simple breakfast sandwich which hit the spot. (bonus points to them for getting my well done egg just right . I'd love to come back and I'd highly recommend if you're in the area."

"Pros: The starters were fantastic. The veg spring rolls were hot and crispy, the chicken wings had a deliciously crispy coating with a hint of garlic and spice, and the chicken gyozas were also delicious. Cons: The mains were very salty, especially the chicken and black bean dish. Several pieces of cutlery were dirty, so my kids resorted to using chopsticks. The plates had stains from previous use, forcing us to eat our starters with our hands. The floor and chairs were filthy, and I had to be careful not to get grains of rice or noodles on my shoes. The food was poorly presented, simply slopped onto the plates. One plate had a lot of food on the bottom and side, making it difficult to eat comfortably. When we arrived, the staff stared but did not seat us immediately. Overall, I wouldn't return to this restaurant and believe it requires a hygiene inspection."

"Very bad experience!! We just ordered 2 drinks for 30£, the bartender after making my amaretto sour and taking the cherry, licked his fingers in front of us while asking if we wanted the bill. He had a toothpick in his mouth in all this. We have enough experience in hospitality but above all iĺbut this it was a bad experience because there should be a bit of professionalism in what you do and having two cocktails that cost £30 which wasn't even that great given that in the old fashioned they used sugar syrup and not the sugar cube and he didn't even add the angustura and in my amaretto sour there was lemon already mixed with the amaretto, I expected a little more professionalism given that the place is gorgeous and it's so expensive."

"Great restaurant with tasty meals and big portions. Friendly service though not necessarily fast. Reasonable prices especially at happy hour. However 2 for 1 means you have to order the same identical cocktail and you receive both at the same time. Very family friendly and a fun atmosphere inside. We will return."

"Been here 4 times in the last 6 months, the first three times were fantastic, todays visit was not. We’re not regular enough to know what exactly has changed (manager, chef, etc), but the new roast menu is awful. Slight benefit of the doubt as it’s the first day they’ve started doing roasts again after a while, but what we were given was poor and overpriced, especially compared to our previous visits. The meat was mostly great, but gristly and fatty round the edges but otherwise great cuts and cooked really well. The veg was overcooked broccoli which I seemed to have half a tree of, and my partner had one solitary tiny sprig, and one carrot stick between us which was undercooked. Nothing seasonal or anything you’d expect for a £20+ dinner. The roast potatoes were actually just new potatoes that were likely put in the oven for 5 mins at the end, but not “roasted” as you’d expect, and very bland. Yorkshire puddings were anemic and very salty. When you consider the vast drop in quality and the increase in price (it’s now £20.95 for a roast beef dinner), it was very disappointing. £50 between us for two sub-par roasts and two diet cokes isn’t justifiable, even in this area. On the plus side, the staff as always are wonderful, and the actual pub is lovely. Just a shame about the new menu."

"[Visit of 01 April 2023 at approx. 19:00] Pub itself seems ok, beer cold and a decent selection of it, service prompt and friendly enough. HOWEVER Sitting outside on the terrace, a neighbouring table of approximately 8 customers in their early twenties proceeded to shout, scream, swear, push each other around, one threw a chair at another, climb over the terrace fence and generally intimidate other patrons who left the terrace, or ruin the atmosphere for those who stayed put. Incredibly, a member of the bar staff came and spoke to them in the midst of this and didn't even ask them to leave. No security staff apparent at all. If this form of savagery is the level of patron this bar a) attracts and b) doesn't feel the need to remove from the premises, then I'd suggest that any other of Ealing's numerous bars or pubs would be preferable to this one, and my friends and I certainly shan't be returning on the basis of that visit."

"Disgraceful and deeply disrespectful service. Bitterly disappointed. We 've been visiting here for years, and have only recently noticed a drop in levels of service. The male waiter/manager was rude and confrontational over details of our table booking. Constant eye rolling by waitress upon any normal polite request such as excuse me, may I have a spoon please? And whatever you do, don 't ever mention here that you feel like you 're being treated rudely... can say from first hand experience that you 'll be gaslit and told that if you don 't like it you can leave!! Reading some of the reviews, it doesn 't appear that our experience is a one off it appears they are unwilling to ever admit to their mistakes. We will never eat here again. *edit I can 't respond to the restaurant 's response directly, but given their response am further shocked we were directly told that we hadn 't booked a particular table when we had, were effectively accused of lying and, when raised being treated rudely, were now being told we were the ones being rude and aggressive which was simply not the case and a further case of gaslighting all under the pretence of a polite response something not afforded to us in the restaurant. If you value respect and professionalism in a restaurant experience avoid at all costs!"

"My experience at Wine Mousaka was one of the best I've had at a restaurant. As a lifelong Londoner, I rarely feel as well-treated as I did there. We ordered the Meze course and asked to swap out a specific item we didn't like. The chef kindly made us personalized dishes instead. The food quality was excellent and the staff were polite and efficient. We were even offered complimentary shots of liquor at the end of the meal. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and we had a great time chatting with the owner. If you're in the North West area and in the mood for Greek/Mediterranean cuisine, I highly recommend Wine Mousaka."

"We came with family and friends for an evening meal. The venue was clean and welcoming and the staff were very friendly and efficient. The restaurant was busy with a family party in full swing but this didn't affect our enjoyment. All of our meals were delicious and at the end of the evening our hosts served us with a complimentary drink. Prices were very reasonable and we would highly recommend this venue for an evening meal with friends and family."

"Chill place to spend time. We went with my girlfriend on a Sunday afternoon to study for uni. Great atmosphere, quiet downstairs happy vibes upstairs. Staff is very friendly. The food is various and tasted good, and also the prices are good. The hot drinks are various too as you can have lactose free milk: soya, oat, and coconut. The coffee tasted regular. Definitely recommend the salads and the sandwiches, vegan options available. The WiFi was not working unfortunately but overall positive experience. We will be back but not to study until internet works well."

"We had a lovely experience on our very first visit today. Caroline helped us and I haven’t received such good service in a while, she was very nice and helpful, always with a smile. The food and coffee was good and the vibe of the place as well, so warm that it felt like home. I was sorry I didn’t have any change to tip Caroline but will definitely make sure I do next time we’re back."

"Ordered lamb biryani and brinjal dish. Both very good quality and good portion size. You get a free vegetable curry with the Biriyani but an improvement would be if they offered an alternative, as veg curry is not good. Was 15mins late but not be an issue provided I get a message that food has left restaurant. Then I know how long it will be. Otherwise, not sure if it will be early, on time or late. Maybe something they can do in future."

"I had a terrible experience at The Scotsman last week. The food quality was awful and I would not eat there again even if it was free. The pub itself is nice and the decor is pleasant. The food presentation was good, but the taste was terrible. We ordered a large selection of dishes including a mixed grill, naan bread, chicken curry, and chips. The mixed grill was overseasoned and the chicken curry was the worst I've ever had. Despite the friendly staff, many diners in our party of six got food poisoning. When I emailed the restaurant about this, they ignored my complaint. This was one of the worst experiences I've had at an Indian restaurant and I would not go back, even if it was free."
