"I arrived on time and presented my self to the receptionist saying I had a reservation for afternoon tea. A waiter immediately popped out and greeted me by name and led me to my prepared table. As well as a dessert plate with cutlery my table had a small side plate and butter knife, a selection of 6 jars of jam (raspberry, strawberry, apricot and marmalade (all Wilkin , salt and pepper mills and a bowl of sugar.My order was taking promptly and the requested glass of tap water and pot of tea arrived promptly. A small jug of milk and some pats of butter were also brought.Soon my sandwiches arrived. There were six sandwiches; two each of grilled aubergine and cream cheese; chicken and salad; smoked salmon and cream cheese. The grilled aubergine and cream cheese isn 't something I would have thought of creating my self but it was surprisingly tasty. Along with my sandwiches were nine fancies; a small pastry cup of vanilla custard with strawberry, a small pastry cup of vanilla custard with a fresh mint sprig and a small pastry cup of chocolate custard with cranberries as well as two each of three different biscuits. All were excellent with the chocolate custard being particularly memorable.A few minutes later my scones (one plain, one fruit arrived fresh from the oven along with two little pastries and some cream.A requested hot water top up for my tea was no problem and I was offered more sandwiches which, as the food originally brought was so plentiful, I regretfully had to decline.This was an excellent tea and I enjoyed it very much. The food was very good and the staff attentive but discreet.My only niggle is the discretionary service charge . It 's not mentioned on the website and it 's not mentioned on the menu posted outside. I 'm not sure if it 's on the table menus as I didn 't really look at it, knowing already what I wanted. In the UK I 'm used to paying the price quoted for goods and services so to have 12.5% added without warning is a step in the wrong direction. I 'm guessing management will say that, as I don’t have to pay it, they don 't have to mention it beforehand.Anyway, the meal would be good value at £26 service but I had a offer so got it for £16 service which made it exceptionally good value."

"I should mention that on the day of my visit, the uber-chef Pierre Gagnaire happened to be in the kitchen and I feel that the food could not have been better Everything was really top notch, especially the Vegetables scented like a Hermes perfume. Coated in a light foie gras sauce; it was just devine Dishes come with many different elements and the food is altogether very very complicated- but yet delicious Service is really good- just as you would expect from this place It is Mayfair, so prices are very very high. Value for money is not as good Gauthier in Soho but if you rich- this is the place to go."

"We came here on Sunday for my Nan's birthday as a family of 7. We were mainly served by Dan (who was brilliant) with the occasional visit from the lovely waitress and the waiter with long, dark hair. I've described them because they really do deserve recognition for how wonderful their service is. We were greeted with a birthday card from the team for my nan, which was such a lovely touch, and attentive, warm and friendly service throughout. The food was fantastic. We had a mixture of the steak, chicken salad and fish pie. All perfect! The food is always good here. The apple dessert to share is by far the best dessert I've ever tried. My Nan has dementia and this restaurant is a safe place for us as it's familiar, consistently good, and even at its busiest it runs so smoothly that you don't realise just how busy they are. She was so relaxed, so happy and enjoyed every moment of it. Including the birthday plate and candle they brought out for her. I'm so grateful for how special the team made our Nan's birthday. Thank you so much!"

"Just let down a bit by floor staff. Decent quality food with slightly above average price, (no complaints but staff were questionable minor, fixable gripes: Young female waiter wearing socks and sliders? Could have been a forgotten uniform but just looked unprofessional in situ. Saw another female waiter marrying two bottles of rosé wine before taking a new ‘full’ bottle of wine to a customer. Don’t think it’s illegal in the Uk to do this but unhygienic and poor form. They took it to an upstairs table after doing in on the ground floor so diners obviously non the wiser. Young male staff member checked in on us 6 times (counted over two courses, not including ordering or bringing food (how are the drinks x1, how is the food etc x2 per course to the point it was disruptive/ annoying. I get they’re told to be attentive, but just chill buddy"

"The food quality at this restaurant is consistently excellent! The quick and friendly service only adds to the experience. While we didn't bring our own alcohol this time, it's still great value for the delicious, fresh, and high-quality food we received. We often bring first-time visitors here and they always want to return!"

"I’m a little reluctant to leave feedback due to the extremely negative responses received by other visitors, but I must be honest..Visited here as working locally and wanted a nice jacket potato. I phoned and pre ordered as I was aware they need time to prepare.Ordered a jacket potato with chilli and cheese. Ordinarily take away jackets are £4 at most.. I was very surprised at the £6.50 bill for a take away jacket. Every cafe I have ever visited that offers take away, you pay less due to not using the facilities of the cafe, so I was surprised this cafe didn’t. Broken down it was £2.50 for the potato, £3 extra for chilli and £1 for the cheese. The chilli was in a desperate container as there was so much. All that is needed is a spoonful. No salad was offered or on the side, which again I found unusual.The potato was small, poorly presented and not overly appealing (see photo) or tasty.Sorry to say I wouldn’t return- very disappointed with price, taste and quality."

"I visited this restaurant shortly after it opened and I must say the chai tea is fantastic. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Camden, or even if you're not, it's a great place for a nice afternoon tea! I haven't tried the food yet, but I will definitely be returning. The service is friendly and staff are helpful with suggestions and explanations."

"We got to the restaurant and the young lady first advised us we were at the wrong place, she told us that we had come to Southall Road and not South Road, She was incorrect anyway after sorting that out she said we had no booking even though I had an email confirmation. She then told us it was ok as they had spare tables. We have historically come here a lot and the staff are normally great. but have to say the staff did not have a clue and made the experience a little poor. Drinks took to long to come and when they did they came one at a time. I would come back but I'm hoping the current staff are not. Also you cannot place a charitable contribution to peoples bill without asking. Its not the quantum but the principle"

"I arrived jet-lagged and hungry and wandered out of the hotel to find dinner to kickstart my visit. Koolba was just the meal I needed. I had their special, lamb shank rogan josh with saffron rice--the lamb was so melt in your mouth tender and great balance of flavor with the spices in the Rogan Josh, lots of flavor from traditional spices but not hot, and served with saffron rice. Lamb Rogan Josh is one of my favorite Indian curries back home, and the same, only so much better with the lamb shank! Wow! The mango lassi was cool, mellow and not too sweet. The portions were also generous! I will admit, I ate leftovers for lunch the next day and it was so delicious! I'm certain people in the hotel were jealous! I'm certain to go back. They were so friendly and helpful. I had takeout, and will go back to eat in the dining room. I look airy and comfortable and on a great walking road with tables out front for summer!"

"The restaurant by the river is a delightful spot to meet up with friends. The cocktails were excellent, and we shared two platters that we thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was relaxed that evening, which fit our mood perfectly. The platters were delicious, and the service was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I couldn't find anything to criticize. I would definitely visit again."

"I’ve been here many times now and the food, drinks and service are always impeccable!! Highly recommend the french toast, cronuts, fried chicken sandwich and the oat flat white is one of the best I’ve had! Great interior and lovely relaxed atmosphere. I believe everything is made in house and it really shows that care has been taken in the making and preparation of the food! Always a good array of options to please everyone and a good amount of outdoor seating too! Cannot recommend enough if you are in the area."

"Sakonis offers Indian vegetarian food with some Indo Chinese options and is located on Ealing Road, now for quite some time a predominantly Gujarati area of London, with its menu largely reflecting its local customer base. The restaurant is relatively large and this was our second visit in as many months. Last month we were able to walk in and dine without a reservation but this time we had a reservation for the six of us, which was a wise decision because there were queues at times that we observed. While the buffet seemed extremely popular (especially for the soft ice cream! and our server encouraged us to avail of the buffet, not unsurprisingly, we opted for a la carte a decision that we did not regret. The Sakonis website is very modern and loads quickly, offering modern and well taken photographs of some of the dishes. The mogo chips were one of the starters that we ordered and were well made, a little crispy around the edges, soft in the middle, with a spicy sauce that was right at the cusp. We also ordered the palak paneer and the paneer butter masala, both of which were excellent. Of the two I would say that the latter was a little more flavoursome a surprise since I love spinach perhaps the palak paneer could have been a little more spicy. But the star of the show was surely the bathuras that came with those particular large plates (options also included naan and puri . In fact they were so popular with our group that we ordered an additional four and although they took rather long to arrive, when we compared our fresh, hot bathuras that lingered on the buffet table getting cold, we were sure that we had made the right decision. We also ordered a hakka noodles but that was rather insipid both in look and taste although we could see plenty of diners ordering the Indo Chinese dishes. The masala tea was just alright not nearly as good as Dishoom's for example, but the inclusion of a Parle G biscuit is a cute touch. Service was great even if the late order of bathuras was rather slow. Ria was particularly helpful. We plan to visit again in the summer."

"Cyrus has always been a good chef. But last night he joined the ranks of great Indian Chefs. Cafe Spice Namasté is now on a par with Chutney Mary in London and The Indian Accent in Delhi. You won’t get chicken tikka masala but you will enjoy genuine Indian food based on Cyrus deep and varied knowledge of Indian cuisine. Sometimes even with a modern twist. And sometimes with a talk about what you are eating. He is a fascinating speaker and willing to share his secrets with those of us who aspire to knocking off his top spot. Some hopes! Whenever I think I am there he pulls something new out of the hat. Great raw materials rule and Cyrus supports rare breeds and small producers. Try his ice cream made specially for Cafe Spice. The view of the old Royal Docks is great at sunset. Mrs Todiwalla, Pervin leads the front of house with warmth, a smile and skill and a team of long term staff who are super friendly and recognise old friends and welcome new ones. However busy they are they seem to have time and a smile for everyone. There is even a Tamil in the open kitchen and he stops work for me to practice my basic Tamil. And prices are remarkably reasonable so go quickly before Cyrus gets the Michelin star he deserves and prices are forced up."
