Service was good. We had the special 3 course traditional Christmas lunch with main being turkey, pigs in blankets, leg ham, yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, brussels sprouts, carrots and parsnips. It was a huge meal. Would have preferred to pay less and have less of the main meal as we had to take half of each main meal home in a takeaway box, but it shows how generous the servings were. Also highly recommend ordering a lemon, lime and bitters drink. 🥤

As roasts in London go I would rate this 5/10. The beef was overdone and the double top Yorkshire pudding was a bit dry. Believe there was a potato shortage and the sauce on the side was extra charge. Still very nice location. Very good Bloody Mary. Still in search of the best Bloody Mary but this one was alright.

Lovely hidden pub round the corner from the underground. Very oldie and atmospheric. Service was ok wouldn't say very attentive as we had to get our own menus for desert but the food was delicious! Fish and chips with a side of tarta sause and curry sause made it. My partner had the burger and was also divine. The toilets desperately need more attention as they were pretty grim but all in all was a nice evening.

We had an absolutely lovely Sunday roast experience here. Our waitress, Aysia, was super helpful, attentive and friendly. The staff, the service and the drinks are great, and all our food was delicious!

Really nice place, but 84 decibel music is designed for the staff, not the guests. PS: the owner just replied, thinking the sound level must be from a different pub. I'm still here, and it's currently showing above 85dB. Have taken a photo and sent a message upstairs inviting them down to sample it. PPS: He came down and we chatted. Very nice guy called Jesse. We redid the sound test, and he said he didn't know anything about decibels. There's a quieter room behind, but it had no seats free.

Super lovely pub! The Sunday roast wasn’t what it was a few years ago, and they don’t let you choose a temp on the burger. Well done only. Flavors were lacking but it’s an idyllic pub. Best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had though

Quite average as far as pubs go, but you wouldn’t think it looking at the price. I really would not recommend a visit as I’d probably not want to go back if i’m being honest. So much better quality and value around the area. Lets start with the menu: quite limited. The kitchen has attempted to be fancy but the plates come out being rather basic in terms of how flavours go. All our food came out cold sadly, including the food, so that was rather dissatisfying. Also portions as you can see are tiny. The service is great, but there is 0 atmosphere. Quite loud, no music, and the whole place is rather drafty.

Such a beautiful restaurant pub. Bookings are highly recommended as it gets busy for Sunday roast. We went for our doggies birthday on remembrance Sunday and enjoyed a beef and hog roast. The staff are very attentive and even prepared a birthday plate for our doggo. 🎂🐶🍖🐩

I went here for lunch. The Holly Bush Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with its inviting atmosphere and exceptional food. The restaurant nestled in a charming setting, the restaurant boasts a varied menu that highlights seasonal ingredients, resulting in flavorful and beautifully presented dishes. The service is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. While dining, I had the pleasure of meeting two siblings, a brother and sister, who were incredibly kind. We ended up taking the tube together, and they were excited to share recommendations for places to visit around the city, adding a personal touch to my evening. ❤️

Went for the “Sunday roast”. Our group had the lamb shoulder, beef, and turkey and everyone loved their meal. Highly recommended! Booking for Sunday roast is a must

Food: The sides and the desserts were good. Between the five of us we ordered all of the sides so we were able to try them all. The causa in particular was a highlight. The tres leches with pears and the fried steaks were also good but unfortunately what did miss the mark was the steak itself, which just didn't do it for me. Service: Really good for the most part, the servers were attentive most of the time despite busier service. Atmosphere: it was pretty, we got a good seat and most diners looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Having tried every single item of the 30 year special menu of Gaucho at Hampstead and the Piccadilly branches over 48hrs I wanted to share a particular review of the Hampstead location. The food was delicious 🤤, but what made the experience enjoyable was the staff. We had an excellent waitress who simply brilliant and put up with our large party. Funny and attentive, extremely knowledgeable too. The food was delicious as expected and their steaks brilliant. Hampstead in particular was great with the space in the restaurant and even the welcoming doggy bowls outside.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Gaucho – A Memorable Evening Thanks to Chad and Team Three weeks ago, after a disappointing visit to Gaucho, we reached out to management to address our concerns. The response we received was both swift and thoughtful, resulting in an invitation to return for a meal. This time, I had the pleasure of taking my sister and our mother for her very first steak dining experience—and what an experience it was! From the moment we arrived, the front-of-house team welcomed us warmly. The service throughout the evening was nothing short of outstanding. Special recognition goes to Chad, the restaurant manager, whose attention to detail and genuine care for our comfort made all the difference. He checked in regularly to ensure we were enjoying our evening, always with a professional yet warm demeanor that set the tone for an exceptional meal. We started with a selection of starters, including the scallops, which were a true highlight. The quality, taste, and presentation were impeccable, leaving my mother amazed. The Winter Rum cocktail was another standout—rich, warming, and perfectly balanced. When it came to the mains, each of us chose a different steak, and they did not disappoint. My mother, who was initially hesitant, was absolutely thrilled. She declared it the best steak she had ever eaten, a sentiment that truly made our evening special. Seeing her joy brought immense satisfaction to us as a family. Daniella, another manager, was equally delightful. Her bubbly personality and ability to engage in thoughtful conversation added a personal touch to the experience. It’s clear that Gaucho is fortunate to have such dedicated individuals on their team. Overall, the combination of exceptional service, exquisite food, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere created a dining experience we won’t soon forget. Chad and his team went above and beyond, turning what began as a disappointing experience into one of our most memorable evenings. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. If you’re planning a trip to Gaucho Hampstead, I highly recommend the scallops / steaks and the Winter Rum—you won’t regret it!

Where to start. We cannot praise this restaurant and their staff enough. We dined with our 9 month old baby and also our dog. The staff pulled out all the stops for us and they couldn’t do enough. We felt special the moment we walked in, right through to leaving. The food was incredible and came through piping hot. The sommelier talked us through the wine list and recommended an incredible red to compliment our food. We would like to thank all the staff as they went above and beyond. We told the staff it was our dog’s 4 year birthday; to which they brought out a lit candle and some dog treats. Our dog was over the moon! A completely unexpected surprise and gesture. Gaucho has certainly got the right idea being dog-friendly; as we will be telling all of our friends about this and feel we’re able to return without worrying about child and dog care. On top of this, your wonderful sommelier could see that our daughter was getting a little restless as our food arrived, to which she then occupied her so that we could eat our meal. Our baby then went straight down to sleep in her pushchair after cuddles and a tour of the restaurant. You gave two new parents more than just a rare night out as a couple; you made it completely stress-free and gold-tier standard. We’re looking forward to returning again soon.

The lovely hostess Keya went above and beyond to find us a lovely table at short notice. Our waitress Victoria was so lovely and smiley and very attentive. The food is top notch and the atmosphere and music are really good, especially on a Saturday night 🌙 👌 🙌

I absolutely love the Everyman Hampstead! There's nothing quite like snuggling into a sofa with a glass of wine and a juicy burger while getting lost in a film. It's pure indulgence and my go-to for a perfect movie night.
Roger Schaffeler - in the last week

Deadpool & Wolverine. Multiplex against Everyman. The decision was made in favour of the Everyman Hamstead. A beautiful little cinema that can't be beat for its atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. It makes you feel welcome and valued - something that the big screen of a multiplex can hardly replace. The attention to detail and personal service makes a visit to the cinema a very special experience. Highly recommended! Special thanks to the member of the staff who put the icing on the cake.

Great experience, food was delicious, highly recommend the prawn and avocado burger! My reasoning for four stars, is the chairs are not that comfortable they move and it's quite uncomfortable to sit without a foot rest or something, first everyman I've been too, also so so overpriced for overall experience, i dont think its worth it and wont be coming back unfortunately, service and staff were great and love the retro theme!
Laura Rose - 4 months ago

Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed with how small the screen was relatively to the space available. I prefer the theatre at selfridges for this. Otherwise, very comfy sofas and decent food. Used to have gluten free options (GF burger buns) but last time I was there it wasn’t available.
Natalie Kovalchuk - 2 weeks ago

Been to a few Everyman branches. And this one is brilliant - loved this branch with the decor, small and cosy vibes and the friendly staff. Loved the milkshake but not so keen on the beef hotdog. A brilliant place to come on a date, with family or even alone.

Very cute izakaya style restaurant with delicious food. I got the chirashi bowl - portion size was great and has a great selection of seafood. We also had the black miso cod which just melted when you tried it. Would highly recommend!
Susan X - a month ago

I come here at least once a month because it is the best Japanese restaurant in Hampstead and surrounding area. I usually order the bara chirashi. The food is usually very good, but today it was not at the same standard. The octopus was hard and chewy so I left it behind. The hostess is not very friendly. When you make a reservation online for the sushi bar there is no assigned seat. We arrived exactly at 12:30 - our reservation time and asked to meet seated on the most “protected” side of the sushi bar. She said I reserved later than someone else, and if they reserved before, they have the best seat on the sushi bar. This is not clear at all in the website and makes no sense. The people that took the best seats in the sushi bar arrived 15 mins late. The hostess was unfriendly and had a rude demeanor which set us for a stressful start of our meal, which was sad. The waitress kept kicking my chair through the whole meal as she passed behind me. So, overall not a great experience today.

For a restaurant that specialises in yakitori, I found their grills to be just average. There's definitely a better yakitori spot in town. The yakitori, in general, were quite dry and overcooked; the beef tongue was particularly tough, and the prawns lacked succulence. The assorted set didn’t offer great value for money. On the bright side, the sushi rolls were excellent. Considering the high prices for a neighbourhood restaurant, the overall standard of food didn't quite match up to the price tag. I appreciate the friendly and prompt service. The restaurant expansion was much needed, but the seating is still a bit tight.
Stella L. - 7 months ago

I haven’t yet tried every Japanese restaurant in London but in my mind this is as close to Japan as you can get. The Yakitori and grilled options are divine and the sushi is some of the best in the city. The ideal place for special occasions for the sushi connoisseur.

This is a case of not enough stars, should be 10 stars for this place. A fantastic experience, service was superb, we had a few questions which were answered with no trouble, the older waitresses are so lovely, like aunties serving your food. And the food, it is absolutely delicious, maybe went a bit overboard (pun intended) but the menu all looks amazing. So we went for the chefs selection nigiri sushi, it was amazing, tuna, salmon, octopus, seabass, bonito etc, not a fan of roe but I think they would replace if you asked before ordering. The tempura and salmon teriyaki were great but the skewers were unreal, and the king prawn was massive and juicy, you can see them being cooked to perfection behind the counter on the hibachi grill. It's all very straightforward but skills at the highest level. It is expensive, but it is worth it, other than my green tea sour was not sour enough, and they didn't have any konomono starter left, but other than that, an absolute stupefying pleasure. Super recommended, and can't wait to go back. Arigato gozaimasu!

This is one of mine and my partner’s favourite restaurants. It has a very special place in our hearts. We happened upon Villa Bianca spontaneously on our first visit; and loved it so much that we returned for our anniversary meal. It is absolutely exceptional. The service strikes the perfect balance between warm and professional; attentive and composed. The staff know their stuff, and are excellent at their jobs. The atmosphere is special; there is a lovely buzz in the place that feels both one of a refined fine-dining establishment, and also of somewhere that is loved by locals. Most important of all, the food and drink is delicious. I have had a range of dishes there now, as has my partner, and they are all wonderful; executed with the lightness of touch of a top, top restaurant; whilst remaining substantial in size, hearty and satisfying. Thank you, Villa Bianca - we love you!!

Located in an alley off the high street is a quaint little Italian restaurant named La Villa Bianca. The simple yet classy black and white contemporary interiors mimic the quality of food here. Every single dish had a light fruity flavour showcasing the authenticity of the ingredients themselves. The mushroom risotto was a clear standout, with the delicate flavour of the mushrooms caressing the stock drenched perfectly cooked rice. The same can be said of the excellent lobster pasta with the sweet taste of cherry tomatos contrasted only by the slight briny taste of the lobster, which was unmistakably a sign of its freshness. A lovely spot for a casual lunch, I will be back.

We stumbled across this place during a regular walk around in Hampstead, living locally. They accommodated us having not booked a table and were very welcoming. We have learnt how to taste if the food is authentic italian with respective to pasta, having visited italy and eaten in local authentic restaurants regularly. We purchased 2 tomato spaghetti (Spaghetti Napoli) dishes costing a total of £31.39 and it was worth the money. Great value for money. The food tasted really nice. Not exactly how it was in Italy, however not too far away and definitely better than Most in London. Great service, great location, great food. I would come back and recommend visiting.

I've been going to this restaurant for almost 20 years! Last night we went to celebrate my sons 14th birthday and as always the food and the service were first class. It amazes me how consistent this restaurant has been over the years. We loved the fact that they surprised my son with dessert and a very loud rendition of Happy Birthday. Quite simply an excellent Italian restaurant. Special thanks to Allessandro and his father, who always look after us every time we go.
Nicholas Charles - a year ago

One of my favourite places to visit in North London, typical up market Italian with outstanding service. We had a wonderful table outside with the glorious sunshine. The wine list is superb for such a little restaurant. It's just a little walk off the main road. As you can see from the photos the food is superb, amazing flavour profiles that compliment each other perfectly. Then mains we shared the Tomahawk it was rendered to perfection and cooked medium rare. We weren't expecting the additions of frites and roasted vegetables. The live piano finished the experience of for us. We will be back very soon, it was an experience we won't forget.

Excellent food. Went for lunch and tried the lunch menu. Surprised about the actual quantity - fairly large for one person which was excellent value for money and I liked the options that they had for the set lunch menu. The Nasi goreng was delicious but not very spicy - thought it would be more spicy but that’s okay. Did not like the bang bang cauliflower - it was just deep fried breaded cauliflower (nothing unique). Dim sum was tasty as well!

I have went to this place couple of times. And food here was delicious 🤤 every time I came the portions are big u will be cool for ages. Service is quick but the waiter that was serving us called us girls “what can I get u girls” or “can I get u anything else girls” and then when I asked for a bill he winked at me. It was pretty weird. I really recommend u this place it’s very yum 😋

I recently visited Dim T and had a pleasant dining experience. The vegetable gyozas were delicious, and the sweet and sour vegan chicken, along with the black bean vegan chicken with rice, were both flavorful and satisfying. However, the service was a bit on the slower side, especially considering the restaurant wasn’t too busy at the time. Despite that, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would rate it 4 stars. For those planning to visit, I recommend trying the gyozas—they’re a great starter! Also, if you’re in the mood for something different, the black bean vegan chicken is a unique dish worth tasting.

Tate Kirschel - 2 weeks ago

I visited with a friend on a Sunday evening when it was still quiet and the service was very quick. The staff was friendly, our waitress was probably very new and made couple of little mistakes (nothing major, she was probably very nervous on one of her first day) but senior management was there to jump in and help. The food was good and the prices are fair. We had 2 starters, 2 pad Thai, 1/2 roasted duck, dessert, bottle one wine and tea. We enjoyed everything. I was particularly impressed by the kochi dessert, lovely!

The food is great! I got the french toast with banana and bacon and it hit the spot. The vibe is very cozy but it can get pretty busy around brunch time. The waiter are very friendly and nice.

The cafe is a charming and cozy spot that truly stands out. The outdoor seating adds a relaxed and inviting vibe, perfect for soaking up the neighborhood's atmosphere. Our server, Kasha, was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. We tried the shakshuka, which was elevated by the addition of tahini sauce, giving it a unique and delicious twist. On Kasha’s recommendation, we also indulged in their cinnamon bun, which was perfectly flaky and absolutely delightful. Overall, this café is a gem – great food, warm service, and a lovely ambiance. I’d happily come back again!

This place is an absolute gem! ✨ Great atmosphere, consistently good coffee and other beverages, delicious food. I highly recommend: - Scrambled eggs on sourdough - Carrot Cake - Red Leicester Cheese Toastie Register at the door to be added to the list. Be prepared to wait, especially during the weekend or on a sunny day. Service is usually very kind but can be slow on busy days.

I made a pit stop to Ginger & White as I was doing a nature walk down to Hampstead. Glad to have finally visited. It is a small cafe with minimal seating, but nevertheless, the vibes were nice. I ordered a simple cupcake as a small treat and a blueberry matcha, which surprised me that they had. Taste was subtle, but noticeable. Cupcake is decent and what you’d expect from a butter cream cupcake. Service was very friendly and attentive. Would love to come back and try their lunch menu to see what they’re all about.

It's a lovely place for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. The setting is great for meeting friends or just dining alone. Very cosy, very warm feeling. Pretty well staffed as i came on a weekend. It can get very busy during lunch. They have a nice outdoor seating in the case of good weather to enjoy some sun. Love both breakfast, cakes and lunch specials here. The green shake and coffee are nice too. Will be back again!

Gails is truly a gem among coffee shops, especially the one in Hampstead village. The selection of pastries is remarkable, and everything you order comes from a high-standard bakery. I absolutely adore the cheese twists and scones. Gails is an essential destination that you shouldn't miss. .

Standard Gail's. Smaller than some. Had some original treats on show that looked like they were worth a try (pistachio, lemon and rose cake). We bought hot cross buns. Staff were kind. Loads of types of bread too, including plant based sourdough.

Really good for brunch or breakfast. It gets crowded on the weekends and you have to sit outside, I'm a smoker so I don't care, but if the weather is not good... Sucks! Hahahhahaha. Other than that very friendly service and really good coffee and food.
Xavi Sánchez Catalán - 6 years ago

Coffee was not great, need to improve the milk texture. The almond butter on the porridge was solid. I have Gail's a lot and this is the one that is below the standard. The layout of the shop is also not that well designed.

If you're on the hunt for truly authentic Japanese sushi in London, look no further than Sushi Hana. This hidden gem offers 100% genuine Japanese sushi, made fresh daily with the finest ingredients. The flavours are exceptional, and every bite transports you straight to Japan. What makes it even more special? The staff are all Japanese, adding that extra touch of authenticity to your dining experience. Sushi Hana is my personal go-to spot, and once you’ve been, it’s easy to see why. If you want the real deal, this is the place to be.

Really delightful and authentic sushi in the hearts of Hampstead, just a minute walk from the station! The ingredients are super fresh and seared salmon belly & seared scallop are very delicious. The miso soup is great too! Easily one of the best Japanese food in London :) Brown rice version is available as well - really healthy!
Yiting Fan - 9 months ago

Its half retail shop and half restaurant with bar tables and takeaway. There are some tables outside too. We ordered. Tofu curry with brown rice (13.5+1.5 for brown rice) and a chirashi bowl (18.8) slices of fish is much smaller than other restaurants and less variety. The taste is average and probably prices are affected by the area. Portions could be bigger. Service charge of 12.5%
Barb T - 9 months ago

In general, sushi is okayish, definitely better than you can get from Tesco, but far worse than you can expect for this price. Sushi was poorly rolled, rice and salmon are nothing special. You can find much much better sushi in the authentic places for this price. Or just get the same quality for almost half the price from M&S.
Konstantin Vinogradov - 6 months ago

Average quality sushi. It was okay for a takeout but cant say I loved it. The ingredients were fresh, just not that tasty somehow. I liked their miso soup though.
