"We wanted to say a big thank you to all of you and the team for ensuring we had a fabulous time at Northwood Piazza on Christmas Day. I think I mentioned that none of the six of us had had Xmas Day Lunch out before across combined ages of nearly 350 years! We chose you to celebrate with you as we have always been delighted with the food, ambience and team when we have eaten with you. Christmas Day was no exception … everything was perfect. We loved the food, the atmosphere, service was excellent and not rushed and everyone was delighted with their choices. I would heartily recommend you to anyone for any occasion and handling all your clients so brilliantly during what was a really busy service showed how good you are at what you do. Many, many thanks Kim, Liam, Trudy, Tilly, Cathy Frank xxx"

"Stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Brunel University. Very convenient 20 minute walk and even shorter bus ride) to West Drayton train station for jaunts into Central London. Same bus option in opposite direction to get to Brunel 30 minute walk). Tesco and Aldi located close by should the in room yogurt and bread croissant not cut it good thing for the fridge in the room). Stayed in Grand Canal view room #2 which had 1 queen bed and ensuite bathroom. Unfortunately there was no hot water in the sink, but lots in the shower. I mentioned this to the staff via email and in person no response via email and a stunned sorry can 't help you response from the in person complaint. The room could also do with more options for hanging clothes as there are only 2 fixed hangers in the room. The adjacent room #1) was not occupied the 1st 2 nights so it was very quiet, but the 3rd night next morning really) is when we noticed the extremely thin walls where normal conversation levels could be heard. We managed to enjoy a meal in the onsite restaurant and it was very good generous house salad and very good fish and chips)."

"Last time we attended Ora we had a great meal, this time it was poor , my wife had prawns there were 4 prawns at £7.95, wrong. For main I had roast beef, my wife had burger, my beef was chewy, I did state this to the waitress who replied you should have asked how you wanted it rare or medium, in my opinion the waitress should have asked me how I wanted my beef, the vegetables were nice but a very small portion, the potatoes tasted as though they had been reheated , the waitress cleared my wife’s starter before I had finished, my Yorkshire pudding was soggy, Im sorry but did not enjoy my experience this time, my wife thought the burger she had for mains was poor last time my wife had the burger she said it was the best she had had, we were not asked if we wanted any sauces, the owners were good but the waitress seemed inexperienced . Very disappointed."

"Stayed at the LHR Marriott for a night and wanted to try some local food. I had the garlic/chili shrimp as an appetizer and the lamb/mint burger as my entree. Both were super delicious and a great value for the taste and portion. I wanted to get in/out quickly so chose to order the food at the bar along with a beer. Doing this was a bit cumbersome as you can’t order food directly at the bar. There was a separate station where you placed your order. Thankfully the food was delivered to the bar and I was able to pay at the bar also. If you’re in town and near LHR airport, give this place a try."

"First time visiting and what a experience! The restaurant has been on my list to visit for awhile but just didn't get around to it. The ambience and interior of the place is amazing! By far one of the best looking tamil restaurants and it's very apparent that they take good care of the place. Even the bathroom was extremely clean and maintained. The service was tremendous. The 2 gentlemen working were extremely polite and attentive. They refilled are drinks when they noticed themselves it was low. The food was a bit of let down especially given the price point. As a tamil I have had alot of kotthu rotis and devil's and as much as the taste is very unique it's not worth the severe price point. The portion size for the kothu was nice but the devil was rather small and just about enough. I would highly recommend to give this place a go if you are going on a date or with friends. Definitely worth a try. Good luck to the team. Well done guys!"

"really sad to leave this review! as they can see from previous reviews here on google, I have always been a big fan of this restaurant and has been here regularly since its first opening. I feel that food standards are slipping. a little. Last couple times I was there something or others wasn't great. or sometimes eating is ok, but service really slow. all this is still acceptable, as I have still declined. last time I ordered the homemade focaccia I received a few of the smallest bites I wish I had made a photo. it was quite appalling for £4.25 and they were rock hard! I managed to get my money back for this article about ubereats and I forgot the experience. today I ordered ubereats again and this time I tried the gluten-free garlic bread. I'm in shock! It's hard and thin like a tortilla and there were only 3 pieces. I eat gluten-free much so that this is really unacceptable to me for an Italian restaurant. it is certainly not worth the £5 I was loaded and also hardly edible really! I'm really sad to leave the review, but I felt it necessary as I had a few bad visits now. I might have to think again before I get eaten/ordered again."

"A Culinary Journey Through India: Exquisite Flavors Await! Stepping into this Indian restaurant was like stepping into a culinary oasis. The air was redolent with the fragrant spices of India, promising an adventure for the taste buds. The ambiance, adorned with traditional Indian decor, transported me to the streets of Mumbai. Let's delve into the heart of the experience the food. The Tandoori chicken stole the show, perfectly marinated and cooked to juicy perfection. Each bite was a burst of smoky flavor that left me craving for more. And the Biryani? Simply divine. The fragrant rice, layered with tender meat and aromatic spices, was a symphony of flavors. However, a word of caution: the green chili served alongside packs a fiery punch, so tread carefully if you're not accustomed to the heat! But what truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The owner's son, who served as our waiter, was the epitome of friendliness. His warm demeanor and attentive service made us feel right at home, enhancing the overall dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to this Indian restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. With tantalizing dishes like the Tandoori chicken and flavorful Biryani, complemented by the friendly service, it's a culinary journey you won't want to miss. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Indian cuisine or embarking on your first adventure, this restaurant is a must visit destination!"
"Booked lunch for 4 on a Friday at 1:30pm, needed to finish by 3pm, actually the right amount of time. It was a lovely sunny day and originally sat by the front window, waiter quickly took our order for drinks while we decided what to order. After 10 minutes I was baking and asked if we could move, on a normal dull day it would be a good place to sit but not on a bright sunny day. Waitress was very accommodating and we moved to the rear and it was such a relief. Three of us ordered pizza and we were not disappointed, the base was thin and the toppings tasty cooked to perfection. The vegetarian pasta dish was equally delicious according to friend. We all had the Italian desert, biscuit and ricotta cream filling which was good. My elderflower and Prosecco cocktail was refreshing and tasty. All in all an excellent experience, was my first visit and will not hesitate to return."

"I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and was extremely impressed with every aspect of my experience. The price per person falls between £70–80, but the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere more than justifies it. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, earning a perfect rating of 5. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made sure my dining experience was top-notch. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also top-notch, creating a relaxing and enjoyable environment to dine in. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special dining experience."

"I visited this restaurant on a Saturday night with a reservation for 2 people. Unfortunately, we felt neglected by the service compared to the tables around us. It took 30 minutes for us to receive water and the waiting staff seemed uninterested in our experience. They did not check back on how our food was cooked and did not offer a dessert menu after clearing our plates, leading us to decide to leave promptly. The starters were average, nothing special. Both of our steaks were ordered medium rare, but one was way too rare. For the price of £44 for a piece of steak, we expected better cooking. The chips were good but the sauce was too thin and runny. We also asked for a salad on the side, which had very little dressing, leaving us unsatisfied. The mac and cheese lacked flavor, suggesting more cheese could have been added. For the prices in central London, the food and service need improvement. It does not compare to Gaucho, which we have frequented many times. I would recommend saving your money and dining elsewhere. We will not be returning."

"This is probably the best lounge at Heathrow. It offers a completely different experience compared to other flag carrier lounges. The staff are friendly and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs. The food and cocktails are great and can be ordered to your liking. The addition of a "garden" area is a nice touch. The only downside is that the lounge used to be even better. The massage spa, hairdresser, and child play area have all been removed, presumably to accommodate the increased number of passengers due to the Delta partnership. While it used to be a destination in itself, it is now just a very competent lounge with nice staff."

"Me and my family used to love Thai Lemon. It is one of our favourite local restaurants. We would visit at least 1-2 x a month. The previous owners were amazing and always offered a great service with their food and hospitality. The owners have changed and we visited once a few months back and did not meet our expectations. We decided to give them another chance today and can safely and sadly say will NEVER be visiting Thai Lemon again. Unfortunately the food is just not worth eating out. Maybe we are just so used to the amazing food we used to have by the previous owners but this just does not compare all. Prices have also increased which ok is understandable but they have also added a service charge to their bills. £240 bill and the duck pancakes were mouldy (wish I had taken a photo, large area of mould). When pointed out to the waitress she did not even apologise and simply said ‘I will get you a new one’. We were put off and didn't continue eating it. The duck was VERY dry and clearly old. Spring rolls full of oil inside. Drinks were not even cold from the fridge. Offered at room temperature with no ice in 32 degrees weather? Tom yum appaling, extremely salty and mushrooms very old. We did not finish these. Barely any meat in the sweet n sour chicken and oyster beef. No flavour in any dish whatsoever, thai food is meant to be very flavoursome. Really not worth £240 very disappointing. They didnt even offer to reduce the bill or remove service charge after the mouldy pancakes. Very unprofessional and food is not up to restaurant standard. Can tell they dont have a proper chef."

"Today I went with a good friend to celebrate something special for us and my friend had a pushchair for the little one. The food was delicious but the staff both of them had a bad attitude that made us stressed and not enjoying the food. It is a real shame as the restaurant looked beautiful. The man almost sprayed the cleaning product on the little one face and the woman, when brought the second plate with a bossy tone of voice, demanded my friend to move the pushchair as she did not have the space to settle the table close to us. I was shocked by her attitude and tone of voice. My friend offered to take the plates from her hands and help her but she refused and asked again for my friend to move the pushchair with a demanding tone of voice. I told her that her attitude was wrong and the way she was saying it to my friend was not acceptable. I asked for the manager and she said that she was the manager, but my friend, who is a constant customer, told me that was for the first time when saw her in that restaurant. My friend asked her nicely where to put the pushchair as there was no space in the restaurant for it and her answer was that it did not matter where to put it, it was okay as is simply realized that where we parked it was the most indicated place. I explained again to her that the way she was behaving was wrong as, at the time, only 3 tables were occupied and the restaurant was empty, so it was not common sense to be rude to my friend. I told her that was the last time would see me in that restaurant and that it was a real shame because she did not realise that her salary and the business could suffer because of her rude attitude"

"I haven't been to Martin's Place for about 16 years since moving out of the area, but I was meeting with old friends and I thought it would be great to go back and see if was just the same. Reassuringly it was still looked exactly the same cosy and friendly. The smell was amazing as you walked in. I had the Chicken Supreme Princess which was delicious, served with chips and lots of vegetables. Followed by a chocolate roulade. All at a very reasonable price too. I will definitely be back and will not leave it 16 years this time :"

"Yes prices have increased everywhere but the increase here is way over the top. £16 for a chicken dish? Madness for a takeaway place. I ordered from here for years regularly and now they have lost mine and my friends custom being a little too greedy! Namaste Lounge and other local places have the same quality of food for a lot less whether you takeaway or eat in."

"No food after 2.30pm Even something as simple as mushrooms on toast. Basically turns into a coffee/cake shop there after Also went in good Friday at 1.30pm to order Mushrooms on toast...to be told they gad ran out even though i was staring at 2 big beautiful bowls of fresh mushrooms/portobello mushrooms. Seriously, after a little discussion i asked the girl to ask for me...she came back and said they could do a very small portion. Great, something is better than nothing, after a bit another girl came to take order, i said i thought that girl had done my food order, she came back no she sorry she hasn't, ok thank im going to have to leave it as have appointment at vision Express at 2.20pm and left. Grabbed a lovely cup of coffee at Nero. I believe the cafe has been taken over by new people and have made significant changes...im just disappointed in no being able to get even a simple dish in a cafe at 1.30pm when the issue wasnt lack of mushrooms...i found it quite frustrating. I work long hours and do shift work and just fancied a little treat in a genuinely lovely cafe but unable to keep up with the growing demands unless you just want coffee and cake!!"

"Pleasant family run Cafe serving home-made food served by two charming photogenic young ladies with management working in the background preparing the food and doing the cooking. Good range of food available daily from their extensive menu, competitively priced, to suit most tastes and always served piping hot. It is a pleasure to frequent this establishment which I find popular and judging by the regular local clientele others keep returning. All ages catered for from the occasionally young families as well as senior citizens and in between. It is always a pleasure to visit Vito 's."
