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.

Great service let down by very disappointing food. Sunday roast looked and tasted like it was cooked hours ago and reheated. Beef was overcooked and dry, potatoes tasted like they had been frozen originally and also dry and the “truffle cauliflower cheese” was lacking truffle and any flavour from cheese. If only we’d had been closer to home and not missed lunch we would have left without eating it. Kudos to the great staff who tried to salvage things by offering a complimentary dessert - I’m just glad I wasn’t paying for the less than average piece of cheddar, fridge-cold Brie and one type of cracker. So disappointing as we’d read great things about this place but we weren’t the only people to complain today.

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!

Wellington beef pie was top notch, really good pastry and sauce. The fish pie was more peas and mash than haddock and shrimp. Excellent attentive service!

First time visit as we were staying in Hampstead for the weekend. I had booked a table for Saturday night having read good reviews, good job I did as it was really busy. Good selection of beers, food was very good, we both had cider battered fish and chips - they were soooo crispy and delicious. Great atmosphere and great service. Would definitely recommend and revisit. Many thanks.

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. ❤️

Our first visit to the renowned Holly Bush. We were staying in Hampstead for the weekend, had been on a lovely long walk around the lanes, etc., and popped in for some well deserved refreshments. We were really impressed, what a great pub. So busy. We didn't have food but one quick pint quickly turned into four and could quite easily have lasted long into the evening. Staff were great, really good selection of beers and a fantastic atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and revisit.

A short walk up Holly Hill (from Hampstead High Street) takes you to the Holly Bush which must be one of the most photographed pubs in London. Apart from the fact that it's very pretty, and photogenic, the atmosphere is one of calm. The day I visited, there were maybe three or four regulars in and a couple of tourists. It's a beautiful pub and the service was quick and courteous - it's a great place to spend on a sunny day. The pub also does food but I didn't eat there. Clean toilets too!

Nice pub hidden away in the backstreets of Hampstead. Arrived on a Saturday night in an attempt to have dinner here. We had little expectations of a table being available and when we asked (2 males), we were told they were fully booked for a table of 4 people unless we had a reservation. The rest of our party arrived 2 minutes later, they decided to go ask again themselves (2 females) and a table was available for the 4 of us immediately. Unsure what to make of that but we got a table nonetheless. Food is pricey (probably standard for Hampstead) and while the dishes were nice, portion sizes were on the small size. A single main at near £30 wasn't anywhere near enough if that was all you were having. Staff serving us were friendly. We moved to the bar area after our meal and had a few more drinks there which was fine. It's an old pub with an old pub smell but we enjoyed our evening there nonetheless. :-)

Unbelievable food. Beautiful old school pub, good but a little slow service. Very friendly staff. Will definitely return. The Stonebass ceviche was incredible as was the Halibut and the beetroot tartare. The burger was also very good. Well done!

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.

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.

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.

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 recently attended the cigar tasting event at Gaucho Hampstead, and it was an amazing experience. It was my first time at the event, and I had the opportunity to meet some like-minded individuals, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The event itself was well-organized, and the cigars paired perfectly with the atmosphere. Gabby, our host, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we’re already planning to return for another tasting. Highly recommended for both cigar enthusiasts and those looking for a unique, enjoyable evening out.

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.

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.
J Chan - 3 months ago

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!

Decor and lounges are gorgeous, feels very luxury, but from my experience today, that really is the only positive point I have. You can order from your phone using the QR code next to you and have your food and drink brought to you which is really great. Our sofa had crumbs on it when we got to our seats. Our popcorn was completely stale, cold and had absolutely no flavour. We where happy they swapped it for a fresh batch but still completely lacked any flavour. Seemed like a small/medium box when we ordered a large. Definitely not a standard size large popcorn. Ordered a lemonade watermelon cooler which also had almost no flavour. Oreo milkshake also really lacked any sort of flavour, tasted like a really basic chocolate milkshake. Hotdog was also bland. Really really disappointing especially because of the prices you're paying. Also found the service to be quite slow, kind staff though. The bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner too.

Fabulous cinema, truly one of a kind. We love the elegant decor, the loveseats, the ability to order food and beverages from our seats, and the whole feel of the place. Great staff, as well. What a treat!

Friends recommend me to visit this small shop which is so fully booked. And I truly understand why because thwy really did a good job. The caucasian skewer chef is really good! Timing is great, everything right on. Considering I came from HK where yakitori shops are so common and popular, this shop’s quality is comparable! Skewers are very good, while sushi and maki are cool too. The menu has a great diversity ranging from starters, skewers, sashimi, to grilled beef and noodles. Definitely would return and try more other food. Price is reasonable 🤭
Snailo Morphesis - 2 weeks ago

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. - 5 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 had a lovely early dinner on Saturday for a friend’s birthday. The food was incredible, and the service was impeccable. The staff had a great sense of humour, and it felt like you were on holiday. I highly recommend the specials :)

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.

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.

Dim T in Hampstead is wonderful! The food, especially the dim sum platter, was fresh and delicious. Special thanks to Ms. Priya and Doiyn for their attentive and friendly service. Their hospitality made our dining experience truly exceptional. Highly recommend this charming spot for a delightful Asian fusion meal.
poornima chopde - 5 months ago

Really poor actually. Food was basic. Which is fine. It's cheap. But we had to ask numerous times for simple things or were constantly over asked for others. As we asked for the bill, we asked for the leftovers in takeaway boxes and it just didn't appear. We asked again and the wrong meal came in a box and she seemed confused we'd even asked. Just poor.

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.

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.
Thomas Stewart Buchanan - 2 months ago

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.

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 - 7 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 - 7 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 - 4 months ago

Quiet, authentic Japanese restaurant. Slightly pricier, but definitely worth the quality of the fresh sourced salmon dish.
