A culinary experience of the Barbary Coast in London's Seven Dials…read more We loved this place so much that when we visited London twice in one year, we just had to come back for round two. This is a small, yet bustling restaurant. A U-shaped bar wraps around a fully visible kitchen. Service and experience are quite incredible. The menu is mostly small plates, intended to be shared and may come out as they're ready. We were just the two of us and here's what we ordered: We started it all off with Naan e Barbari and chose Zhoug and Za'aluk sauces to go with that. Then we moved onto Crispy Violet Artichokes, the Labneh, Hatzil, Parsley, the Fattoush salad and the Chilli Cauliflower. Along with these came the Coffee Rub Chicken, and the Pata Negra Pluma as our main proteins. Every bit of this experience and every plate is exquisite. I couldn't recommend The Barbary enough. Get yourself a reservation and try it for yourself.

I've been to this place multiple times over the years, mainly to get the mixed shawarma wrap and…read morehave always thought it was the best. That hasn't changed but I will say the size of the actual wrap is half of what it used to be. Same price, half the size, unfortunately. Now, I'm not saying to avoid the spot because I still think it is the best you can find. This review and especially the portion size issue is only for the shawarma for takeout.

The workers are super nice and hard working. I have been going there since 2013 so 10 years now. The food is so so so so good like there is no way I wouldn't go daily to eat there when I am in London. One of the brothers (owners) is the master chef. I only do hookah when I am travelling and only trust them with my hookah. The place is super clean and nice. I can't wait to go back to London to see everyone as yes I feel I am going back to see family at this point and eat the delicious food!

I love squeezing lemon on it to give it more acidity. The dips were well seasoned as well, with fresh herbs and olive oil. Everything tastes super authentic. The staff were also very efficient, and used to handling long lines and waits. The main complaint I have is the price, which was quite high for what you got. But given how popular the place is, they can do it.

First time having Turkish food. Loved it…read more Kazan is a welcoming little restaurant with a delicious selection. Seriously, everything on the menu looks so good. The complimentary bread went so well with the baba ganoush, and the chicken in the Tavuk Izgara was probably the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life.

A friend of mine had raved about Ottolenghi when she heard I was coming to London, so this…read morerestaurant was at the top of my must-try list. Maybe my friend over-sold it and got my expectations up too high, because I was pretty disappointed in this dinner. We were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. We said still and were brought out a £4.50 bottle. I know it's common to charge for water in Europe, so I didn't think much about it until I noticed that everyone else around us had refillable glass bottles -- free tap water that we were never even told was an option. We were seated downstairs at a large communal table. I don't necessarily mind that, but it was so loud that having a conversation was very difficult. My cocktail was delicious, but so tiny. The wine list was decent -- a good mix of options at various price points. As for the food, it was very hit or miss. The mushroom starter and the pork main dish were delicious. Unfortunately, the two most expensive dishes were disappointing. The prawns had great flavor, but a strangely soft, mushy texture. For me, the flavor made the weird texture okay, but my husband couldn't get over the mushiness of the shrimp and hated this dish. The sea bream was very bland and dry -- highly disappointing for the most expensive item on the menu. We ended on a high note with the affogato dessert (Yum!), but for such an expensive meal, there were just a few too many misses for us.
