Momo

➤ 25 Heddon St., Mayfair W1B 4BH, FSA Food H, London, United Kingdom

Bars • Coffee • Drinks • Moroccan

"My wife and I visited Momo for the first time tonight (8pm). I was a tad apprehensive at first as prior reviews had highlighted potential service problems and excessively loud music. Our experience proved my apprehensions completely unnecessary. Music was lively but kept at a comfortable level. Service was quick, staff personable and attentive. The only point with loud music was a charming 2 minute intermission wherein the staff began to dance, chefs banged on (presumably) pans, and chanting ensued. Livened up the place and ended well before it had overstayed its welcome. Crucially, the food was delightful. The lamb hummus was packed with flavour, and I just had to order more pitta for it. The briouats trio was similarly delicious, though a small portion size (6 bites worth) but to be expected for a starter. The tagines made the night (my wife and I shared the beef and lamb tagines). Tender lamb, broth full of flavour and perfectly balanced spice added depth while highlighting the flavour of the lamb. The beef's pomegranate glaze was a refreshing, modern twist which I found perfect next to the classic flavours of the lamb. Chocolate namelaka for dessert, which had a welcome simplicity in its flavours chocolate ganache and buckwheat ice cream, tiny dollops of jam, and chocolate crumble like my mother used to make. Less is sometimes more, and after the complex flavours from starters through to mains, I found the simple dessert to be the perfect way to send us off."

Indian Orchard

➤ 315 Dumbarton Road, G11 6TU, Glasgow City, United Kingdom

Asiatic • Mexican • Seafood • Fast Food

"If you are looking for tasty food then look no further! This little hidden gem is a family run restaurant of 40 years!! I have lived locally for 7 years and only today found this place…. Where do I begin with my review…. Don’t be fooled when you first enter, it’s decor isn’t bright bold or brand new it’s immaculate but instantly cosy it’s warmth makes you feel comfortable and instantly welcome. Where to begin with the staff, warm friendly attentive and they have an amazing relationship with the returning customers who have clearly been coming for years, warm hugs at the door to customers they’ve not seen in a while…. A part of the community is the feeling you get when seated inside. THE FOOD!!! Seriously I’m a wimp when it comes to spice so I ask for my food to be mild in most Indian restaurants tbh it normally kills it….. tonight I got exactly what I wanted my food made milder but the taste was still tremendous. There is a reason this place is still here after so long. To whoever happens to read this review go along take the family take your first date…. you’ll not be disappointed and you’ll definitely be back. I can’t wait to return."

Chaiiwala Coventry Road

Asian • Indian • Coffee • Hot Drinks

"great timing, service and professional including hygiene. everything goes to sabrina, spoke with good man and respect. I helped me choose what I wanted to order as it was my first time, so I had no notice, was not rushed. I felt very confident. I wanted to celebrate my day yesterday, so the contract was on my mother. sabrina also gave me free chai. I ordered two more parathas, but when I had started eating, respected me sabrina and came to my table and told me not to stand up as I had eaten, so paid. shocking with the negative reviews! also thanks to theny, who gave me sabrinas names that had gone home"

Kennington Tandoori

➤ 313 Kennington Rd, London SE11 4QE, United Kingdom

Meat • Asian • Indian • Seafood

"This is an excellent Indian restaurant. While not as refined as somewhere like Gymkhana (which has a Michelin Star), it's a perfect blend of great cooking at reasonable prices in a very comfortable setting. I also love the seasonal menu, which is so rare in Indian restaurants, but always entices us to comeback. It's definitely one of the best restaurants in Kennington."

Indigo Fusion

➤ 3 Ordnance Street, ME4 6SJ, Medway, United Kingdom

Indian • Fusion • Seafood • Delivery Services

"So we ordered our food delivered , delivery driver was friendly , even tiped him once we opened our food we realised no sauces with popadoms phoned them up to be told you have to pay separate for sauces , so we have popadoms that we paid £2.40 for with no sauces at all, not told this at the time of ordering ...strange! Then we move onto the korma , it was lumpy with massive flakes of coconut, not nice at all, we have ordered from here before and it was not like this before , phoned them up and asked them to come and collect the food and give us a refund we have not touched this food at all! They were not very helpful and refused to give a refund, or even acknowledge that the food wasn’t right , kept saying there was nothing they can do , do not waste your money , we have now thrown it all in the bin and had to cook something , next time we will take the drive down to the cumin club in Rochester as much better food , service is better and not as over priced!"

Indian Kitchen

➤ United Kingdom, Kilmarnock

Beer • Wine • Full • Indian

"I have never written a review before but felt really disappointed this eve. I ordered a dansak from here, which is one of my favourite indian dishes. I don't mind mediuim spiced food and every dansak I have ordered from other indian restaurants I have...never had a problem eating. However I took one mouthful and it was extremely spicy (even my husband who likes hot dishes said it was spicy for him), in fact it was even spicier than his hot chilli masala . I telephoned to check I had been given the correct dish and the person on the other end told me yes. I explained that I was unable to eat it and how I had, had this dish many times before but I wasn't offered any alternative. That said, my husband enjoyed his meal and thank goodness for the onion bhaji, naan and rice. It was just disappointing about my meal."

Afternoon Tea At El&n Lowndes Street

➤ 25G Lowndes Street, London, United Kingdom

Tea • Cafe • Coffee • High Tea

"We initially had a reservation for afternoon tea but decided to switch to the regular menu instead. The staff appeared to have no issue with this change. However, during this visit, we encountered a significant problem; we were told it would be classified as a no-show and that we would be charged for it. Earlier in the week, I had also called to reserve a table for afternoon tea at 1:30 PM, but I was told to arrive at 12 PM because the 1:30 slot was unavailable. We ended up staying until 2:40 PM, so it was clear there was no need for us to change our reservation. Additionally, our table was not properly cleaned, and we ended up ordering food via the app after our afternoon tea because we did not receive any service during our visit."

Indian Kitchen 6+ Buffet

➤ 2 Lainshaw Street, Kilmarnock, United Kingdom

Indian • Casual

"The food is excellent and well-presented. The restaurant has a bustling environment that can be somewhat distracting. While it doesn’t feel particularly warm or intimate, the quality of the food makes up for the lack of atmosphere."

Roma Glasgow City Centre

➤ 46 Bath Street, Glasgow, G21HG, G2 1HG, United Kingdom

Pizza • Pasta • Steak • Italian

"My son and I entered because I was wanting to treat him to a pre Christmas dinner. So we saw on the menu a deal for a course dinner. Little did we know that we would be charged for both courses separately despite the deal. So having a read through the menu a turkey dinner seemed rather tempting so we both ordered that. We also asked for coke what we received was watered down dirty dish water that they said was pepsi. The food arrived and it was the equivalent of a care home meal. Frozen veg potato cut in half! Some stringy bland turkey. All floating in bland gravy. Our deserts where mediocre and the portion size was appallingly small. The audacity to charge People for that horrendous meal my son and I then left and got some burgers from the Glasgow market festival which where far more adequate and had flavour. We shall not be returning"

Le Querce

➤ 66 Brockley Rise,, London, SE231LN, SE23 1LN, United Kingdom

Wine • Pasta • Pizza • Italian

"I was really looking forward to going back to Le Querce after a long gap. Sadly it was a disappointing experience. The evening menu now requires you to have at least two courses, costing £29.80, plus an extra £4.80 for side dishes. Two of us were almost 30 minutes late joining our group due to traffic problems but has to wait another 30 minutes before the orders were taken, with no offer of drinks or nibbles while we waited. The food was still good but our main was 6 not very big pieces of pasta stuffed with potato and cheese in a tomato sauce, which I felt was stingy for the price. One of our group only wanted a main course but we were charged £6.50 for the bread, cheese and olives she shared with another person on top of the set £29.80 for her 6 pieces of pasta. Another chose ice cream for her dessert, which is priced at £3 a scoop meaning her medium sized bowl of pasta with ragu was £26.80. I understand that costs have gone up since Covid but the combination of poor service, high cost and lack of generosity in portion size means that’s the last meal I’m likely to have at Le Querce. It may be because it’s winter but the range of ice cream flavours was far less interesting now as well. I wish I’d not gone back and only had the good memories!"

Pamban Chai Coffee House

➤ Camden Market, North Yard Chalk Farm RoadNW1 8AH, London, United Kingdom

Cafe • Vegan • Breakfast • Vegetarian

"Vegetarian Vegan Options WHAT I HAD: Tumeric Vegan Chai £4.00]; Sri Lankan Lamprais £10.50] – (Vegan Mutton A historical Sri Lankan and Dutch influenced rice and curry served in a banana leaf with beetroot, aubergine, cashew nut curry and onion relish. I was in Camden pretty early in the morning, so most shops weren’t opened yet. I across PamBan and it had an interesting menu (coffee and hot food? Yes please! , so I decided to have my breakfast here as I was really hungry. You order and pay at the counter, and it will be served to you. I had the Vegan Sri Lankan Lamprais with Tumeric Vegan Chai. The Lamprais was very flavourful with an interesting combination of sweet, savoury and spice (it’s not spicy though if you’re afraid of spice . My mum enjoyed her mutton Lamprais. However, I felt a bit cheated with the Vegan Lamprais because it’s essentially the same but without any curry. Without any substitution to a non-vegetarian (Chicken/Pork/Mutton Lamprais, this makes the vegan Lamprais dry and way more expensive (it is the same price as any other Meat Lamprais . As much as I enjoyed the mix of flavours, I wouldn’t recommend the Lamprais if you’re getting it vegetarian/vegan as it just doesn’t justify the price. Even the meat Lamprais, I do think it’s a bit expensive as well as there wasn’t a lot of meat in it according to my mum. The place is spacious and airy, with a soothing and warm atmosphere. The staff were really friendly, helpful and attentive. We enjoyed our coffee and chai. Overall, the Lamprais we had was flavourful and unique but overpriced for what we got. They do have a lot of other interesting dishes on the menu and baked foods, so I will possibly visit Pamban again if I am in the area for good Chai, Coffee and snacks. If you are thinking of trying Pamban, do keep in mind that the prices are slightly higher compared to other stalls in Camden Market, but it is one of the shops/café in Camden Market that has nice spacious and comfortable seating if that’s what you are looking for."

Feya

➤ DA7 4SU Bexleyheath, BEXLEYHEATH, United Kingdom

Tea • Cafés • Coffee • Brunch

"Overall afternoon tea at Feya was good. We were greated by a very polite lady who offered us a seat in the ‚bird cage’ area. The food was great, delicious platter of sweets and canapes, large selection. I have ordered a jasmin tea. It was a tea from a bag (not loose leaves which was a bit dissappointing). The tea teasted nothing like the jasmin, more like grass??? Even the water did not change the colour, so I can tell it was a poor quality tea bag. I’ve ordered a latte at an extra cost, which was very good. The waiting time was 55 min, my friend already finished her coffee. Service was slow, I understood we were forgotten for around 30min and people who came after us were served their AFT first. A bit sad as it was my friend’s birthday celebration, which I have mentioned while booking reservation. The toilet was not super clean. Lots of dust on the walls and in nooks and crannies, definitely a room for improvement."

Mo Diner

➤ 25-27 Heddon Street, London, United Kingdom

Tea • Kebab • Tapas • Burgers

"The ambience, food, decor etc. was lovely however it was ruined once we received the bill. We ordered the £32 afternoon tea but were actually charged £37 each. There was nowhere this was written that we would have to pay extra and the bill didn't really explain it other than showing we paid an extra £1 for a glass of tap water each too (ridiculous! . This is the first time I have experienced this for an afternoon tea and the price they state on their website should be what stands. We did not ask for anything extra, the teas were all within the set menu and we had no alcohol. Can someone explain why each person had to pay an additional £5?"
