I made this last minute booking through email and got the confirmation within minutes so that was a good start! Very responsive even over emails. The place is unpretentious but you get more than you would expect! I chose this place for a catch-up with my friends whom I haven’t seen for 10+ years! We were led downstairs which was a surprise at first but it was the perfect place and my friends really liked it too — what with it’s rustic charm and English food. The food was fantastic (we even had a vegetable dish on the house, thanks!). Service was superb and very patient with us when we delayed our order because one of my friends was running late. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely come here again with my family next!

Fantastic service, ambience, and food. The food itself is good, but it's really everything else that puts the experience over the top! It's a little pricey, but specially compared to other pubs, but in my opinion, completely worth it! I had: - Stilton mousse: fantastic! - Sausage and mash: good. The onion gravy had fantastic depth - Chocolate pot: dense, but silky

My husband & I went to this restaurant to celebrate 🍾 my birthday. The servers were very polite and attentive with a warm, welcoming smile the moment we entered the restaurant. The food was full- flavoured, especially the crispy roast pork belly. We both truly enjoyed our meal. Giving us the most memorable experience. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a lovely place! The people were so friendly and the food was excellent! We found out this restaurant from the Infatuations magazine and it was perfect choice! We ate three course meals and all the food was great! We had duck liver pate and cheese and leek tart! As a starter, the portions were quite big. Pate was very creamy and well-rounded with butter and the fresh bread! But tart was a bit salty for me. Inside of pork belly was very chewy but smooth and the skin was crackling! Salmon was melted in the mouth!

Super lovely, romantic, and rustic-feel venue. Individual booth seating is intimate and private. It is a perfect place for a romantic dinner date with candlelit tables. Sadly I didn’t like the food. Pâté was average. My French onion soup was too salty and the pork belly as main has less crackling and more fat layer. The chocolate pot was rich and sweet though. Three course set menu was about £37. With a glass of wine and an apple juice, it all came to about £80. Would I recommend it? For the venue, yes. For the food, no.

We both had the steak and ale pie. I had chips and mushy peas, husband had mashed potatoes and garden peas. The food was piping hot and we didn’t have a long wait. Would recommend and when we come again, we will try to come in early enough to try the roast! The staff were polite and friendly. Husband booked via the web the night before and that went smoothly.

OMG. That was the most wonderful Steak and Ale pie we have had for many a year. Even better than from a farmers market and we’re from Somerset. Nice selection of ale to go with it. Very Happy.

Darpan Was An Absolutely Amazing Bartender! He Made Our Experience Truly Memorable With His Fun And Helpful Personality. He Went Above And Beyond To Ensure We Had A Great Time. The Beer Selection Was Fantastic, And The Level Head IPA Was Exceptional—Fresh, Flavorful, And Perfectly Balanced. If You’re A Fan Of IPAs, I Highly Recommend Giving It A Try. We’ll Definitely Be Coming Back and you can meet us here anytime you’re here.

I really miss Cote Brasserie in Glasgow so we were super happy to find this one in Kensington. Popped in for lunch and it was excellent. Just a really nice vibe and great food. We shared whitebait to start... super light and tasty. Then salad nicoise and caeser with french fries. A little glass of red wine! Lovely staff too. Thanks

Set menu offers good value. The waiter (Robi) took the time to speak with me, recommending a wine to enjoy with my meal (great choice!). Service was efficient and friendly.

Stopped in for breakfast on a weekday. The server, Ula, was very friendly and welcoming. She knew we were on holiday so suggested mimosas. Perfect way to start our meal. Coffee was wonderful, smooth and strong. Pain au raisin was delish, granola with coconut yogurt and cherry preserves was just right, and the berries with yogurt were also fresh and delicious. We will be back! No rush, great service, relaxed, and it felt like home. Thank you.

Confit duck is my favorite dish in Cote. Both onion soup and pumpkin soup were yummy. Don't forget to order the dessert Cream brulee.

Côte Kensington offers a cozy atmosphere and attentive service, making it an excellent choice for dining. The menu presents a variety of delicious French-inspired dishes, complemented by a well-curated wine selection. Perfect for a relaxed evening out.

Great tasting menu, we loved all of it! Food was tasty and the turbot that was recommended was also delicious 🤗 The service was outstanding, thanks to Norbert that took great care of us during our entire meal! He really contributed to the experience feeling very special. We’ll be sure to return!

Very delicious sushi and tempura, great place for dating and meeting friends. It is a pleasure to watch the chefs work meticulously. If you are not price sensitive and just want to experience good food and service, this restaurant is a great choice.
Melody Zhou - 5 months ago

One of the best places in London to have amazing sushi ! Everything was fresh and delicious, service was excellent and attended to all needs. The special was fantastic. My favourite was the wagyu roll just melts in your mouth!

I’ve been in London for work for about 6 months and chose to cap off my girlfriend’s one visit to see me by bringing her to Yashin even though I’d never been on my own. This was hands down the best meal I’ve had in London in my time here and was an incredible date. The tasting menu with pairings was incredible and the service was impeccable. I couldn’t be more appreciative for how great this team made our date night.
James Gibson - 5 months ago

Genuinely some of the best nigiri my wife and I have had. Every piece was balanced perfectly and as their cheeky slogan states, skip the soy sauce here, as you definitely do not need it. The uni was melt in your mouth incredible with a touch of wasabi. To follow we both ordered the eight piece omakase which again, was incredible and left us wishing we had got the eleven piece. The service was perfect and everyone in the staff was so kind. Many thanks to everyone at Yashin for a great dinner! Jaren & Claire

Great pub for a pint. Good for watching sports. Nice and friendly staff, top notch
Mark Rossiter - a month ago

Great location and an overall good pub, the service let it down massively. Disinterested staff, clearly didn't want to be here. No interaction when serving the customer, I ordered two drinks only to be handed one by my server who walked off to talk to her friend, I then had to ask where my second drink was, to be told someone else was making it. Pros Nice pub Cons Worst bar staff I've experienced
Shay Quinn - a month ago

Update: We decided to visit the pub again and really glad we did. The gammon steak and 8 oz. sirloin were superb. I would recommend these if you wish to try the classics. It wasn't busy at the time of our visit and staff gave us an overview of the Greene King brand. The place was clean and the ambience was relaxed. It was a pleasant experience, very many thanks to the team (huge credit to the chef for the fantastic meal). Previous review: Booked a table for 2, arrived only to be told kitchen was out of order which was fine as these things do happen, however, we received no notification that this was the case, otherwise, we wouldn't have made the journey. Interacted with 2 staff throughout, one was friendly and nice, one staff was a bit off with his customer-facing skills towards us. The decor is nice and I can only imagine the ambience when watching live sports on tele. I may visit again to give the place another chance to redeem itself and will definitely home in on customer-facing skills. I believe in second chances. In the meantime, 3 stars is fair.

Had a great experience over here, classic British pub, with traditional selection of food, obviously fish and chips and steak and ale pie is a must to try. Great atmosphere and friendly staff with high efficiency when it comes to customer care. Enjoyed our stay, and I can only recommend it. I see this pub as a hidden gem.

Slow on service because they literally forgot to serve us our drinks. But great atmosphere and filling dishes. The selection of beers is great as well. Decent price for a pub along high street Kensington

YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH A MIXED SHARWAMA! The best food is always Maroush. The best shish wraps and shawarmas! The tahini the pickles the chilli the meaty flavours all combine for a delicious treat! You can never go wrong with their food here. The service was fantastic too. Thank you very much from the front of house to the kitchen staff. All the best.

Cosy little restaurant cafe with friendly service and incredible food. Very impressed with the falafel, hummus and shawarma wraps with plentiful portion sizes. Great place to visit for a sit down or takeaway meal at a pretty reasonable price for London.
Rich Batchelor - 4 months ago

This is the best schwarma place. The meat, the sauces, the portion size to price ratio, and most importantly: the flavours. The food is freshly made and the kitchen area is visible, giving confidence in the food being made. They give you everything you need to create the perfect meal to your liking. The service is great, the workers and cooks are very friendly and are very hard working. I get that the dining area itself is a little cramped but what can you expect based on property size. What they've made is plenty spacious enough for families and couples. I don't even live in London, but I visit just to go here, it's the best one.
Ash Awais - 3 months ago

Food poor/average and got cold quickly, service was between poor and average, chose mixed meat with naan bread, later was told that I should have declared that I intended to eat in as there was an increase rate to do so, after spending £19 plus id thought its ok to eat in at that price. For a set up as a fast food with eat in option, this place is expensive. I would not be going there again. Google please alert me.

Visited today with my partner after staying nearby for a little break, it caught our eye when looking for breakfast. So glad we came in - not only is it visually stunning externally and all aspects internally, but the menu and food was absolutely incredible! The staff were all very welcoming and pleasant. Thank you, we hope to be back! X

It was very quiet so we could choose our table. The service was quick and as always the orange juice is freshly squeezed. Unfortunately the prawns were overcooked and flavourless with no seasoning, not even salt. Unusual for Caffe Concerto and disappointing for me. The bathroom was clean but not easily accessible as it is downstairs.

Great place to have lovely cup of hot chocolate which is exquisite! Cakes not only look cute but taste amazing too! Menu is huge with main courses as well Definitely a must visit place! Fath Is a professional… photographer))) Super friendly and caring guy!

What an amazing experience at Caffè Concerto today! It was my first time visiting, and I must say, I was absolutely blown away. As an influencer and a frequent visitor to various restaurants, I can confidently say that this place offers some of the best desserts in London. The cakes and pastries were simply exquisite! A special shoutout to Bianca, who provided outstanding service. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made our experience even more enjoyable. My husband and I stumbled upon this café by chance, but it’s safe to say it won’t be our last visit. Highly recommend both the food and the service – a true gem in London! ❤️❤️❤️

The Kensington Curry Club were pleased to hold their September meeting at Chakra Kensington. The most helpful manager devised a menu for the seven of us that included an inspired selection of starters followed by main courses that included a perfectly prepared ‘Old Delhi Butter Chicken’, Paneer Butter Masala, delicious Dal Makhani along with a range of accompaniments. The service was immaculate and very friendly in the comfortable dining room….I expect that a number of our members will be returning to this delightful restaurant!
Mark Gubbins - 7 months ago

What a fantastic experience and wonderful cuisine. Excellent staff very knowledgeable brilliant atmosphere really comfortable, I ate everything and licked the plate clean. I had the chicken curry and it was delicious probably the best curry I’ve had in a long while. The mushroom rice you could eat on its own that’s how good it was. This is a boutique restaurant vey small but comfortable the atmosphere is very nice you will definitely have to book or be disappointed. This is probably the best Indian restaurant in London I was amazed how good the food was definitely I will be back there again and again. Fantastic exquisite food beautiful surroundings.
rich burnham - a year ago

Another delicious meal at Chakra - this is our go-to local Indian restaurant, always exceptionally delicious - they’ve got some more unusual and different dishes on offer you don’t see everywhere else. I personally love the pani puri, Bombay ki Bhel Puri, fish moilee, rice, and rasmalai for pudding. Nice cocktails too. Decor and atmosphere is lovely too and has an decking outdoor seating area with heaters. Staff are always friendly and welcoming too :)

We were visiting London and a local from the pub down the street recommended Chakra to us. The food and service were excellent. I had the lamb Rogan Josh and my wife the butter chicken. Both were excellent. We highly recommend Chakra

Good. Had salmon rigatoni and then chocolate cake. Taste for both quite good. Used Tastecard so got 2-for-1 on all dishes which was good which made it good value. One surprising feature was the addition of service charge onto the bill at the end. This service charge addition is not mentioned anywhere on the menu. Hence I would recommend you to update your menus to clearly state that a service charge will be added on. This is surprising for a large chain like Prezzo.
David Carter - 2 months ago

This was my first experience in Prezzo‘s in High Street Kensington unfortunately it will be my last as the staff did not seem receptive to me and the friend that I went with it took them 10 minutes to give us our menus where people that had come in later, receive their menus within 1 to 2 minutes one of the servers To an extreme disliking to me and actually removed my main course whilst I was still eating which was very upsetting there was one particular young lady Yazmin who was amazing great service wonderful personality but unfortunately she was borrowed from another Restaurant so was not a permanent member of staff I suspect there were some undertones of something else. I’ll leave that to your imagination but it’s extremely disappointing that an establishment is nice as the High Street Kensington Prezzo has two female members of staff that have such awful service skills

The restaurant staff is friendly and attentive. Perhaps a bit more eye contact would be appreciated, but I understand it was busy. A minor issue is that I informed the waitress that my son has a mild egg allergy to ensure nothing with egg, but when we ordered dessert, they forgot, and my son had a slight reaction. It's manageable, but please be careful, as this could be a significant issue for people with food allergies. The rest was fine, and the food was tasty.

It was a rather unplanned dinner for me and my family since we just wanted to eat in the area and saw they had nice menu options. It ended up being our favorite meal of the trip! The steak was well cooked, the thai curry was flavorful and the crispy brie were all amazing. The vibe was great and the staff were very attentive. Definitely would go back here the next time I visit London!
Iz MP - 3 weeks ago

Average experience at our first time visit! Dinner time. Firstly, the staff judged us because we didn’t have reservations, however, during our time, the only 10-15% table were full. Secondly, the waiting time was not good, longer than we expected. Mushroom soup was tasty, lamb steak was okaying. Pesto aubergine was not good, the aubergine does not enough, was kinda eating only pesto. Service charge can be seen and it is higher for this service.
Muge BN - 5 months ago

Friendly staff expect for the “Why?” When a member of our group said he didn’t book which was a weird thing to say. The place is nicely decorated and looks good. The food was nice but one potato was ridiculous and the lack of anything else other than the salmon left the dish incomplete and a smaller portion for the price.

My first time here and they treated me like a regular , incredible service. Best aperol spritz I ever had! So excited to go back for food!
James Jake - 2 weeks ago

Superb service and customer standards. Enjoyed a tasty burger, home made fries and a lovely Thai red curry. The mocktails were made with the same standards as normal cocktails sans alcohol. Pity I was too full to sample desserts but next time! Well priced too. Highly recommended.
