“ Thank you for providing an incredible dining experience. The food was delightful; our group of three ordered a variety of dishes from the menu. The starters arrived promptly, and each one was perfectly prepared—especially the calamari, which was golden and crunchy without being overcooked. For the main courses, we enjoyed mussels, duck leg, and salmon. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The desserts were simply delicious, with the chocolate fondant standing out as a must-try—warm and rich. In addition to the fantastic food, the staff was welcoming, professional, and friendly. The entire experience was truly delightful. Thank you once again! ”

“ We had a great dinner. Everything was super tasty, and the service was impeccable. Special thanks to Kayhan for his kind service. Unfortunately, this time we had to eat and leave fast to catch our train but next time when we are in London we hope to enjoy this lovely place even more ”
“ Had dinner here with my wife and two children (14&16) after a day in London. There are steps up into the venue on two side of the building. There may be a disabled entrance available if a member of staff is asked. The venue is very smart and the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The menu looked good and there were several vegan and vegetarian options. There was a good wine list, which also recommended which type of food they would go best with. All were satisfied with their food. All just had main courses without starters this time, one dessert, drinks including a bottle of wine, all came to 140. There are set menu 2 & 3 course meal options available. There is a 10% tip automatically included in the bill. The Creme Brulee was very good. The meal cost a fair bit but I was very satisfied with the overall experience and you do expect to pay more when in London. We have been before & will come again. ”
