"Lovely looking restaurant. Wasn't very busy when we ate. My steak was warm my partners was very nice. One of my side didn't even arrive until until I had finished my steak even though I was told it was coming when food was delivered and then had to ask again and still waited 15 minutes. Partner also rang 4 days before as it was my birthday and in the day to remind asking if they could do a surprise for me (I didn't know until we had left) and nothing even though they had told her they would. We had paid 165 quid which is a lot of money for us. But service was awful and didn't have prawns in stock either. Will defo not be returning. Much better places t9 visit in the area.."

"left shaken by aggressive and verbally abused bar personnel. I have enjoyed many pleasant evenings in the last few years in the lioness until the evening of Saturday 5th mai, when I, my friend and friends were treated aggressively and abyssily by the bar person who advised he was the manager. my friend has made a vain decision to inform the bar staff, the male toilet was covered with vomiting and faeces the most bars and restaurants have signs in the loo asked customers to report with toilets. we were then asked to pay our food / drink bill, as the changes necessary until the entrance, we immediately paid and asked for another drink, because we do not want to create animosity in a pub, we...more"

True Thai Cuisine

"This little gem is located on a quiet street just a stone's throw from The Meadows, a short walk from the main accommodation and teaching facilities of the University of Edinburgh, and only a 15-20 minute walk from the castle and the Royal Mile, and it's worth the wander. While its appearance from the outside is unassuming, the welcome inside is far from that, and the food is wonderful. We enjoyed a selection of delicious starters and Thai soups, followed by tasty curries, noodles, and rice, all in generous portions and served with the widest of smiles. The prices are very good, ideal for a family meal or visiting a family member studying at the university (like us). In terms of cost, the restaurant has the additional advantage of allowing you to bring your own alcohol: Gary, the owner (who runs the operation along with his partner and his excellent and friendly team) no longer sells alcohol on the premises, preferring to encourage customers to drink their own beverage (with no corkage fees), which, if needed, can be purchased at a store directly across the street from the restaurant. So, for a wonderful meal at a modest cost, Thai Laos has a plethora of options. We loved it, and will definitely be back."

"This was our first visit and we will be back. There are so many dishes we want to try. The food is fantastic, full of flavour, beautifully presented. The Tempura Prawns were beautiful, cooked perfectly with a crunchy batter coating. Thai Green Curry was very traditional with a nice balance of spice and flavour. Stir Fry was flavoursome and a good mix of chicken and vegetables. It was a very busy night with lots of delivery drivers collecting orders this is good as it shows how popular the restaurant is, but service in the restaurant was affected. It didn’t spoil our evening though."

The Magnum Restaurant Bar

Steak • Cheese • Chicken • European

"This was our first visit to the restaurant having passed a few times and thought it looked attractive. The booking was at 6 pm, and the restaurant was quiet when we arrived so we had a choice of tables. The initial drinks service was rather slow, but thereafter the service was very good and we had a particularly friendly waiter. The food was excellent, interesting and well presented, and at around £40 per head good value. Increasingly I find that portion size is a very effective indicator of quality in an eating place a starter that is so large you have to leave either half of it or no room to enjoy the main course is not impressive. By that measure, The Magnum is definitely in the top drawer."

The Market Thai Restaurant

Thai • Soup • Beer • Wine

"For the last fifteen years this restaurant in Notting Hill was a regular stop every time I was in London. Because of the pandemic, my last visit was three years ago and I looked forward to visiting again. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. It looks like the restaurant is under new management. First of all, the welcoming free prawn crackers were gone. You can now pay for them £3.50). Secondly, the menu had changed and a lot of my favorite dishes were removed. Especially the roasted pork I loved so well, will be missed. Thirdly, there was a mandatory 12.5% service charge on my bill. If I like the service, I will leave a tip, but I am the one who makes that decision. And last but not least, the prices had almost doubled. To pay £3.20 for a £0.75 can of coke in a very simple restaurant is simply overcharging and the food was expensive as well. I know that there is an inflation raging and energy prices are high, but these prices were crazy. The service was still excellent and the items on the menu, I could still find, were alright. But with so many places serving good Thai food in London for a much lower price, I don’t think I will be making the detour to Notting Hill anymore. So, after more than fifteen years, I am saying goodbye to the Market Thai."

"I have been here 4 or 5 times but today I think it was my last ,food was great ,service was rushed and the restaurant was quiet ,it wasn 't late it was 1.30 when we had finished the waitrese kept raising her voice saying enjoy you 're food but it was said in a very annoying and too loud a tone to the point of when I said this would drive me mad if I was here a while ,the food very good but too too rushed , we were asked if we wanted anything else and wanted to let our food go down ,we were met with I 'll bring you the bill ! For a restaurant that 's is clearly not full to capacity you would think they would want to attract people to stay and spend a bit more with coffee etc ,if they were full I can understand but this is typically being treated as if you are on a convey belt ,at they want ypu out as fast as possible . Sorry but the food is great service attitude needs to change"

"We arrived to Chotto Matte London in a group of six. We was seated at a table suited for six but it did feel small and cramped. We all had £75 per head and was looking forward to our visit. We scanned a barcode for the menu but it wasn’t very user friendly at all. Here are the dishes I ordered and tried Spicy Chicken Karaage nice flavour, good kick and presented well. The coating was nice. Arroz Chaufa I didn’t go past the second try. We had this ordered 3 times around the table, not one person eat it. Felt grainy and didn’t go together Chuleta de Cordero Ahumada the lamb itself was cooked beautifully. I couldn’t get over the toppings of nuts etc, it was very strong. Perfectly cooked meat, but the rest was not up to my personal taste. Pollo Picante now if there is one thing this restaurant cooks wells, it’s the chicken. The chicken is delicious and this for me was the best dish of the evening. Put a smile on my face and topped everything I tried. Yuca Frita this was cassava wedges and was the first thing I tried and it was a lovely start. Tastes nice, soft on the inside and a lovely crust. Chocolate ice cream tasted like it came out of a tub and didn’t bother me. A nice refreshing end. The atmosphere had a certain ambiance. The food is cooked insight and is brought out when it’s made. You order what you’d like and it arrives sporadically. One of the guys around the table has to wait until we had our 3rd or 4th dish for him to get his. The waiters seemed confused as to what dish was delivered. We had a halal eating member on our table but they twice got told “wait, I have your dish so not sure what you’ve been given” as similar looking dishes were mixed up. I won’t say how it ended. The staff were friendly and nice, always helpful too. All in all, I see the quirky side, the idea for service and the design of the menu but it wasn’t for me, and the rest of the team felt the same way. Nice to have experienced this restaurant but I can’t see myself coming again."

O's Thai Cafe

➤ United Kingdom, N8 8PR, London

Thai • Beer • Wine • Cafés

"Zer Cafe serves fresh, delicious food with lots of thoughtful options for vegetarians. Their breakfasts are huge, and range from traditional Turkish (delicious olives, jam, bread, cucumber, tomato and probably other things that I cannot remember) to vegetarian (try the one with grilled halloumi and gently cooked spinach on toast) and traditional English. They also do freshly squeezed juices. One of their breakfasts will probably keep you going until the evening. The portions at lunch and dinner are also generous. At lunch, you can opt for Turkish or Mediterranean food, or soup or sandwiches. For dinner, you may want to consider sharing a few plates, or go when you are really famished. We had several meals there (we discovered it on our own and then friends suggested meeting there), and everything we had was carefully prepared and tasty. And don't miss their extremely fresh baklava.The staff and owners are very kind, and great with children; the waiter brought a picture-book out for a two-year-old who was with us, and then gave her a small dish of ice cream.Zer Cafe is a great place to spend a relaxing evening, enjoying good food and wine, or you can start the day with one of their enormous breakfasts."

"After making an online reservation for a table, I arrived at the restaurant only to find it was closed. Given the numerous messages in their inbox, it was clear they had not been operating for quite some time. This restaurant should be removed from listings, as it is no longer in business."

"Ltd menu due to supplier Covid issues which is understandable, however the prawn and salmon starter is basically a pot of seafood sauce. The cod and chips served with 8.5 chips and the Martini Eaton mess did not have martini. I have marked service as high due to the waitress being pleasant however watching her gnawing on fruit at the bar between service was a little weird."

"We had a great time at this restaurant! The food was quite delicious, with an interesting selection of pan-Asian dishes. The starters were especially tasty. While the service was a bit slow when it came to taking orders, once our order was in, the food arrived quickly. However, our drink orders seemed to take a long time to come out. The staff were friendly, and we had a pleasant evening overall. We would recommend this place."

"You pay for the name and location here. Decor really isn’t that impressive and the service was really condescending and poor, very comical outlook considering who was sat at his table. Regardless, pre dinner nibbles came out after starters and there were many starter dishes missing. The majority of the starters were unimpressive, although must be said, the steak tartare was very very good. On to mains. Most of the table, mostly happy, couple complained about blandness. I ordered a wagyu steak, which was very well cooked, but slightly disappointing that the waiter decided to point out the price of the steak two or three times, as if I should reconsider the £100 steak, in case I couldn’t afford it. We paid the included service charge which was £110 on the £750 bill , however retrospectively, service wasn’t worth the price. I paid the bill as a treat to my table, waiter ignore all my guests and only said thank you to me and shook my hand come on!!!!! The food was good but the service experience and customer service really should be thought about."

Faulkners

"The service at this restaurant was indifferent and apathetic. Despite being told there was no fish left, I was made to wait for 20 minutes while other customers were served. The server was engaged in a loud discussion about the chips with a regular customer, ignoring me in the process. Eventually, I was informed that there were no fish or battered sausages left, and I had to settle for a cold ‘Jumbo Sausage’ that had been sitting there for 20 minutes. The portion of chips was meagre and the overall experience was uncomfortable due to the server's reluctance."

Horton's And Kitchen

Food • Pasta • Asiatic • Japanese

"I've visited nippon a lot over the last six years, maybe more than any other Japanese eatery and it sasdsens me to have seen its decline. Staff are no longer warm and friendly, the vegs options are no longer fresh or filling and the portions have seemingly become smaller. Maybe the love has gone and someone behind the scenes has taken their hands of the wheel but I used to recommend Nippon Kitchen a lot. Sadly I never seem to feel the need these days. A seperate vegan menu IS great though and they can't be faulted for being one of the first Japanese eateries in Glasgow to embrace the potential vegan audience and maybe that reputation will carry them for a while but unless they shake up their standards I fear that Nippon Kitchen's sun will truly set some day ."

"Boyfriend had never been to afternoon tea but this one really stood out to us as we both enjoy Japanese food and this was a little ‘different’ from the usual (in the best kind of way) We booked it in the morning and turned up at 2:00. Brought downstairs the service was very good although hard to get people’s attention sometimes, they did eventually float back around to you. We chose ochakai. Staff were always friendly. They checked allergies too. When the food came out it looked incredible, although some of the pots (karage) were hard to get out of the frame it was all part of the fun. Everything tasted incredible and very authentic. The quality of the fish on the complimentary nigiri (sea bream and tuna given as part of their anniversary celebration) was so fresh and rich. The matcha was prepared in front of us with little pomp and circumstance making it approachable for something that may come across very formal or ceremonial. The whole experience was gorgeous and would love to do again. Be back soon x"

Sushiya

➤ 19 Dalry Road, Edinburgh, EH112BQ, EH11 2BQ, United Kingdom

Sushi • Cafés • Asiatic • Seafood

"Sushiya is nestled between two other much bigger buildings on Dalry Road near Haymarket and if you blink you 'll probably miss it as it 's only around a third of the size of its neighbours. My little sister is somewhat obsessed with all things Japanese, so when she came up to visit last month, she jumped at the chance of eating at an authentic Japanese restaurant. We had Inari and chicken Yakitori for starters (along with a cup of very unremarkable green tea) which were both very nice but perhaps a tad too pricey at what amounted to £3 a mouthful. Fearing the same cost/size ratio from the sushi we opted to order from elsewhere on the menu. I had chicken teriyaki (with a bowl of miso soup) whilst my sister plumped for a bowl of chicken ramen; and by bowl I mean vat that dish was freakin ' huge! Both are fairly staple dishes for a Japanese restaurant and were equally acceptable if not outstanding but what struck me about both (especially when taking into consideration what I said about the size of the starters) is that this place 's portion control is way out of whack the mains were huge and I struggled to finish mine, my sister gave up halfway through. That 's not the worst thing in the world but I can 't help but feel that I would have been happier paying slightly less for a portion I could have comfortably managed. That 's not to sound like I 'm being cheap (besides the non sushi mains a very reasonably priced anyway) it 's just that I 'm begrudged to leave food I 've paid for. As opposed to stole. Obviously. The service was okay and the waitresses were friendly enough but we did wait for around forty five minutes for our main courses to come. As for its facilities, the interior is small but well kept. It just about barely escapes feeling cramped when full but that 's the kind of setting you come to expect from communal eating bars like these. Size then is an obvious limitation for small lunch bars so it proved to be somewhat surprising when customers were continually turned away due to the establishment being full despite the fact that there was an unoccupied reserved table big enough for a party of seven who (I learned from overhearing the waitresses) were already over half an hour late. Surely this isn 't good business sense; I understand that a reservation of seven is certainly better than the prospect of no custom at all but at the same time there needs to be a line drawn where you lose your reservation and it 's your fault. The seven eventually swaggered in with no hint of apology or excuse as to their tardiness. I hated them a little bit. Whinge and moan from me then and it 's certainly not directed at the restaurant itself it 's more because a) I deplore lateness and b) I really want to see little restaurants like this stay open; they 're three a penny in other parts of the world but we genuinely don 't have all too many of them in the UK and it 's poorly behaved customers along with the reluctance to discipline them (i.e. by cancelling their reservation) which threaten their very existence. All in all then, Sushiya proved very acceptable for a Saturday lunch. I 'm not all too sure I 'd go out of my way to go there again, or that the mood would ever strike me to just pop along; but for aficionados of Japanese cuisine, it 's certainly worth a look. The Water Situation: Water served happily and without fuss."

"Brasserie with a view of the Tower Bridge. The place is very busy and a reservation is needed. There is an outside terrace with heaters. The atmosphere is nice, especially the little details. The menu has an appealing design. Silverware and plates have vintage charm. Dishes are not very big, well presented. Food is tasty, but not remarkable. The service is slow. The overall impression is positive. Great location with a view and decent food at a relatively good value for money. I had onion soup with truffle and also wild mushroom and truffle linguini. Both dishes were just god enough."

"This pub is a great part of the Byfords empire. Last week they had 9 real ales available, all of which were very enjoyable. On Tuesdays and Fridays at 5pm, they offer free sausages at the bar. While they also have a steak night, which can be a bit pricey, this pub is mainly for enjoying a drink and conversation. They offer traditional pub games and if you're unsure about which ale to choose, they are happy to offer you a taster. The toilets are also clean."
