Our choice to come here was due to an unsatisfactory table at Osteria Basilico next door where we…read morehad already had a reservation. But ambience and just total cuteness of the place drew us in. Very modern with nice soft Jazz music playing in rhe background. The place was packed on a Tuesday so we sat at the bar and ordered drinks. The bartenders were very knowledgeable on the selection of while and even allowed me to taste a view before choosing one. We then moved to a table that had opened up. We had the guacamole and a prawn starter first. The guacamole was nice although I'm not a fan of the toastadas that came with it. To hard for my taste and at first it only cma e with three huge round ones. Of course we needed more and they did bring it but it's odd that they wouldn't just bring It in the first place considering the amount of guac. The spicy prawn starter was delicious bur quite spicy for me. Then we tried the lamb taco and the fish tacos. Came with 2 in each. amazing tacos! Very flavorful and quite filling. Especially the lamb. My favourite part of the meal was the tuna tapas. I can't remember tge name but Omg they were sooo good! I think there was a truffle flavor but not overwhelming. Honestly a must try. Very nice place and affordable. Would return.

Walk by a few times and finally get to try this out. It looks lovely all the time so I'm curious…read more Boy was I disappointed. First impression when I sit down was bad. Because the waiter acted so confused when my friend who was there before me wants a drink before I arrived. His movement was so slow i thought he's giving us attitude but I didn't want to raise it cus maybe that's how he operates. he stood there and wait for us to move the utensils away so he can pick up our plate is a bit weird but when he give us a long eye shut when we ask for new utensils, that's when I know he's really giving us sass. I know I sound mean but tbf I don't mind helping the wait staff out but if you just stand there and expect me to arrange the table, you would be a little surprised too, right? Tell me I'm not crazy. The food was alright. Tuna Tostada was almost £10 and it was so small you can barely taste it before you even finish the whole thing. Cochinita pibil (taco) - meat portion was relatively big but each dish only get two tacos so it barely fill me up. Steak taco - steaks are dry but the cheese on top added points to it Carnitas taco - alright. Can't go wrong really. Anyway, I'd really enjoy it if the staff wasn't rude because the outdoor seating with the sun always keeps me in a good mood but it's a shame that the wait staff was not giving.

I'm very demanding with my Mexican food and I can't believe how good their queso fundido and guacamole is.

I fully intended to come back for dinner, but everything on the menu sounded good and I had skipped lunch. I opted for a burrito to take back to the hotel with me. When I got back to my room and opened up the bag, I couldn't believe how big the burrito was! Wow. As for the flavor? It wasn't bad, but it wasn't quite Mexican food. It's kind of a fusion .. of what, I'm not sure. Regardless, it was a good burrito, the salsa was okay - not great. Chips were disappointing (store bought). I know I'm spoiled being from Southern California, I'm used to getting freshly made chips at most restaurants. I'd definitely eat here again. Expectations have been appropriately managed.

Fish and Chips (what, is that Mexican? or Texan? nope just generic) - tick. It's a massive space as well, and when we were there, there were only 4 other tables. Which made it feel like one of those towns on the Mexican border, where tumbleweeds are blowing and the townsfolk are hiding behind swinging doors. Them ones. Yup, just really average, and really boring. Didn't like this brand of tequila 'n' Tex 'n' Mex very much.

I like to go out to get plant based food that I can't make at home. The tiramisu and the drink were good. They also charge you a discretionary fee.

If he thought this place was good, then maybe it was worth a shot. Yes, this is the best Mexican food in London. It's actually great! We started with the best thing ever, queso fundido. It's basically melted cheese in a dish. It's a really good idea. And if it weren't enough, they can put pulled pork on top! An even better idea. It's absolutely delicious. I can't even describe how melty and salty and delicious it is. You don't even need tortillas. Next the tacos. I went for Al Pastor (the manager claimed they were the best in London; he's probably right). They're small, but you get a plate of 3. I'd love to go back with a big group to try a bunch of different varieties. I'd never had lamb, but they do a cool dish that is the Mexican equivalent of a lamb stew. It was tender with a flavourful sauce -- and their big dish was easy to share with two people. The menu is gigantic, with tons of dishes to choose from. They do a tasting menu on Sundays, and once a month you can go to a Wednesday dinner with a special chef and menu of "posh" dishes inspired by Mexican flavours. I hear they have salsa on Fridays but haven't been. Definitely book ahead of time if you're going to be there during the weekend. Gluten free notes: Most Mexican food is naturally gluten-free except for flour tortillas. Make sure you get corn tortillas instead, and make sure they're 100% corn (masa harina) with no (wheat) flour.

One night we weren't so please with the food and asked if the chef had changed - it hadn't and Fernando came over and chatted with us for at least 10 minutes about the restaurant and how the menu has changed. He appreciates constructive criticism and changes the menu ac coring to what people want. It's a great place, and highly recommended. No need for a reservation on most nights, but on the weekends it's recommended.

Dishoom pays homage to the food of Bombay, and I was thrilled that they serve such a large and extensive breakfast menu! The restaurant is huge and beautiful - with lots of art deco touches! The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant just had great vibes - even the smell of the place (incense mixing with their delicious food) was great. I had their Kejriwal (two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast - "a modern favourite of the Willingdon Club in Tardeo, reputedly named for the member who kept asking for the dish, since he was not allowed eggs at home"), which was delicious. My husband had their bacon & egg naan roll with a side of masala beans, which he loved (he's even been trying to recreate the beans at home since we got back from London). With a large menu of other options and tons of beverage options (from alcoholic brunch options to chai to iced coffee), they have everything you could want for a great breakfast. We had a great breakfast at this Kensington location of Dishoom. I'd happily return to one of their other locations and have any meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
