Hakkasan Hanway in London is a stunning blend of vibrant ambiance and refined dining. The food is consistently exquisite, with flavors that impress. The bar offers expertly crafted cocktails, adding a luxurious touch, while the DJ sets the perfect mood, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. A must-visit for any London outing.

It's been a little while, since i visited, but wanted to share my experience after all. On my first visit to this restaurant, I was truly impressed by the food. Opting for the vegetarian menu, I found the flavors to be masterfully crafted, with each dish offering a refined balance of taste. The dim sum, in particular, was a standout—visually striking and varied, with vibrant, nuanced flavors that matched its appearance. Also the main dish brought about excitment, with well balanced flavors and great combinations. The cocktails and non-alcoholic fruit drinks were equally delightful, showcasing a commitment to quality. However, the service was a major letdown. The staff displayed a level of indifference that bordered on rude, which detracted from the overall experience. Hospitality should match the quality of the cuisine, but it fell shockingly short. Returning for a second visit with guests, I was disappointed to find that the food didn’t live up to my initial experience. The dishes lacked the finesse I had enjoyed before, with flavors that felt flat. Consistency is paramount, and unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found this time around. What started as a promising experience ended in disappointment. Overall it's tough to give a proper rating, but considering all I will give it a low 4 Stars - almost soley based on the food of my first visit.

Lovely lunch with Pearl set menu, which included small eats with mixed dim sum platter , 3 main dishes, peking duck as second main and side dishes. The total cost of pearl set menu is £158 excluding vat and service charges. It is a nice dining experience, feel like in the night club with dark ambience. It is huge restaurant but not busy during the lunch time so it is good for us. Some dishes like braised quinoa stuffed fresh morels with baby spinach is a bit salty but overall the foods there is great. Nice friendly waiter with nice service.

Hakkasan Hanway Place was amazing! Had such an amazing time, food was incredible. I highly recommend doing a set menu, specifically the Shou was fantastic, every course had something that was phenomenal in it. Can't decide what my favorite dish was but I highly recommend the Crispy Duck Salad, any of the Dim Sum, and the dessert which featured a hazelnut ice cream, a sorbet and the chocolate caviar. Another bonus is that the portions are larger than expected so you definitely won't leave hungry! 100% coming back!

The last time I went for a meal here must have been at least 8 years ago. The place was less busy than I remember it being and getting a reservation was very easy... I don't recall it being this easy in the past. Service was good and food was great I especially liked the black truffle duck and tofu clay pot but everything was nice. It's a bit dark inside and I had joked about using my phone's torch to see where everything was. This place doesn't disappoint

Very attentive, friendly service. Lobster salad seemed lacking dressing and flavours as a result. Goat cheese salad was excellent. Lamb was slow cooked to perfection, while the beef and spinach were OK but nothing special. Creme brulee was great to finish. All in all a perfectly good meal, but not great nor justifying the price.

Cosy, well decorated French restaurant in the heart of Soho. I went for a Sunday lunch which was lovely. The portions were generous and the staff friendly. The highlight was the fruit tart with cream dessert. Recommended

The restaurant itself was very pretty and cosy, but the atmosphere was sadly disrupted by: 1. The cheap rechargeable table lamps from Amazon – they should replace those with beautiful candles, as they used to do. 2. The music playlist also felt off; modern commercial tunes instead of a selection of classic French songs from the early to mid-20th century would better suit the ambiance. As for the starters, the £££ bread selection didn't feel fresh at all, dry and hard; The onion soup was good; The salad with melon had unripe, hard melon and an overly salty seasoning, which wasn’t to my taste. The main course, a pea risotto, was excellent. We didn't have dessert as we were full. A big, BIG, "no-no" was being served a hot bottle of sparkling water on a warm summer evening. Please keep them refrigerated!!! The staff was incredibly kind, especially the dark skinned French lady with a captivating grace. It was a birthday dinner, and they surprised us with a small plate with a "Happy Birthday" message and a snail-shaped chocolates, which were one of the most delicious chocolates I've had! In terms of food quality, I excepted more from this restaurant. I think the change of ownership affected the core of the place and with it it's quality.

Lovely restaurant with good service, went for the pre fixe menu with a few extras. For £30 the menu was really good value all the food was really nice and cooked well, very traditional so not much excitement but great quality. Of you are looking for a decent french restaurant in London, which is perfect for a date night can't go wrong here.

The service is impeccable and the venue is very photogenic. However, the crab linguine was soso (i think there was lemon grass in it? not entirely sure) because the herb smell was strong. The duck confit wasn’t that special either. The set menu is a better choice than the a la carte.

I recently dined at Patara on Greek Street in Soho, and I must say, the experience exceeded all my expectations. A friend recommended this gem to me, and I’m so glad I took their advice. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. The staff made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Now, let’s talk about the food—simply outstanding! Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic Thai flavors, presented beautifully, and cooked to perfection. The menu offers a wonderful variety, catering to both traditional tastes and those looking for a modern twist on classic dishes. If you're in Soho and looking for an exceptional dining experience, Patara is a must-visit. I can't recommend it highly enough!

We went for lunch on 26th October with my friends as a birthday celebration, we stayed for well over 4 hours and the staff were so kind and did not rush us out. The service, hospitality and food ( I am a strict vegetarian) everything was superb. Absolutely will go again and respect the timing as they are so kind 😅

Beautiful restaurant and decor, delicious food, friendly staff and quick service. They also surprised my friend with dessert when they asked what the special occasion was as we were all dressed up and we said it was her birthday we were celebrating!! Enjoyed our meal out at Patara Soho, will be back again!

I had the the Green curry with beef and it was delicious. The place has air conditioner and the service is good, our waiter was Alvin and he was very attentive. It was my birthday though, specified in the booking but I didn't get any special attention.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was pleasant to eat and presented well. Though my favourite was the desert. The staff and interior design made the atmosphere and dining experience extremely pleasant. I would definitely visit again!

Great place with an amazing aesthetic. The food was really good and portion sizes were bigger than I could eat. We had an amazing waitress, Jasna , she made the experience even better! Would definitely recommend!

Great food, good drinks, and good service. I love the atmosphere! I don’t know why they have such a low rating.

I would recommend this place for food and ambience which was lovely, but not the free flowing drinks as there is nothing free-flowing about them. The glasses of Prosecco ordered get stuck behind peoples cocktail orders and you end up with empty glasses all the time. We also sat for 20 minutes before we got our first drink served. The staff overall are lovely but there was one particular lady which I think is maybe the manager. She had a face of thunder throughout and I saw her roll her eyes at us. We barely had any interaction with her as her lovely staff were serving us. I can only asume her eye roll was because I asked if we could order our next glass of Prosecco now when she had just put one down. I did kindly explain that this was because they were taking ages to arrive, getting stuck behind cocktail orders. Lovely food, great decor, nice staff but that one miserable staff member just added to the empty glass situation. I hope she doesn’t rub off on the others. As for the bottomless, most places have bottles of Prosecco to one side that they top up your glass with easily. I would highly recommend Cabana consider this. The drinks queuing order sadly just doesn’t work for bottomless deals in venues with cocktails and limited bar staff. Definitely worth going for the food and decor but I would say avoid the bottomless/free-flowing drinks menus.

Booked a bottomless cocktail brunch at Cabana for a special 50th birthday feast and was not disappointed. The cocktails were flowing, the food was spectacular and the service was 5 star!!! Recommend, and definitely plan to return soon.

We were sitted on the private small red room next to the stage. We were able to see only the butt. Of the guitarist. Little respect to people who pay for listening to you wouldn’t hurt. Otherwise they play wonderfully

Cool vibe, cabaret lighting and many wall portraits - most of Amy Winehouse. We, a group of 4 sat by the corner closest to the "stage" (couldn't really understand if it was a stage or more seating). Got an espresso martini in a beer glass, which I thought it was funny. Many staff members to such a small place, 2 young girls, 2 young men, 1 old lady and 1 old man. The young girls were just walking aroung it seemed. The old lady and one young man were very pushy on us getting more drinks, although we were clearly not even finished with the ones we had. Old lady kept being a bit petty with things such as making my friend move her chair because it was "in the way", when clearly the seating was placed that way, and was rude by later saying to get a bag out of a chair so other people could use it - of course we get that, but there's ways of saying things specially to patrons.

Visited here while looking for a live music place, it was an accidental discovery for me and what a beautiful place. For Jazz lovers and Amy Winehouse lovers, this place is perfect. Good and reasonably priced cocktails. Had the inside section mostly to ourselves before the main act began so that was fun. Will be coming back soon.

Great jazz spot in the heart of soho. Welcoming vibe - owners are real gems. We were thoroughly entertained all evening. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun evening.

One of my favourite casual spots for food in Soho. The food is delicious, the service is speedy and overall excellent. You can almost always get a walk in table as soon as you arrive, as well. The selection of toppings for your bibimbap is vast, and I do quite like their fried chicken with the miso sauce, as well. All in all, for an unfussy dinner spot in Soho, I can’t really fault it. Great iced tea, too!
Ivan Markov - 5 months ago

I asked ChatGPT for food recommendations in SoHo that would be quick and good value and this place came up as one of them. Absolutely loved it. First time having Bibimbap in London & it was absolutely delicious. I got the beef bowl & it came super quick and full of veggies. Ryan the server was extremely kind, explained everything in detail, and provided true hospitality. One of my best quick dining experiences ever. You can have fast food with high quality and good service! I’ll be back!

Wonderful late night experience here. My first time trying bibimbap and won’t be my last! Service was impeccable for a 9.30 walk in of 9 people. Food deliciously fresh and super tasty!
Trina - 4 months ago

Ok sooo, I was very disappointed, the fried squid was good but the bibimbap was neutral, it was a bit bland, that even with soy sauce and miso I still only ate the half of it. I was also surprised that we had to pay a service fee (which was not mentioned). So I do not recommend this place unless you want something bland and without spices. And the service fee was really annoying and put me off for the whole evening.

Very tasty bibimbap. Very hot stone bowl. Crispy rice at the bottom. Friendly staff. Recommended.

A real hidden gem off Oxford Street. Authentic Indian cuisine that was refreshing and tasty with just the right amount of heat. Excellent value for money in Central London. Will be sure to pay it another visit. Went for the Deluxe which had a wide variety of items. Highly recommended.
Michael Leong - 3 weeks ago

Very tasty and authentic cooking at very affordable prices. Indoor seating, outdoor and takeaway. The food is delivered as a thali, a big plate with different dishes. Everything is vegan or vegetarian, which is great. Outdoor seating is nice, pleasant views but little direct sunshine. We noticed strong cleaning product smells when it opened up, which is good in itself, but felt is was an indication of imperfect ventilation. I didn't feel the HVAC unit was working. So we ate outside.
Michael Blok - a month ago

Everything I had here was delicious! I came here twice during my trip to have a meal. First, I tried the traditional thali and later I had the lasagna. I enjoyed both meals. The lasagna was microwaved, fwiw, but I felt it was one of the better ones I’ve had. The dining space was rather tight when busy but can’t really fault the popularity of the place. This place will be my staple whenever I’m in town.

I’ve been coming to Govinda’s for about a decade now and it is the first place I visit when I come to London. The food is excellent value and delicious. I have the Veggie which is perfect for Vegans too and only costs £7.95. You can see from my picture that I have nothing left! The temple upstairs is worth a look, especially if you attend during a Kirtan (traditional devotional music and singing) and make sure you visit the shop for some books, jewellery and other lovely things. Well worth a visit! Get there early if you want a seat!

Great food! Very home-y and the staff were a great help. We went for lunch time but were seated with no trouble. I got the paneer set and it was divine! Popadoms were made fresh and the curries tasted amazing. We’ll be back!

Fantastic food and unique bar sitting experience. Everything we ordered was perfect. The patatas bravas and tortillas are definitely stars of the show. The chicken thigh was also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, cooked to perfection. Service varied a bit from different staff but overall was good. Would recommend to dine here if you’re in Soho!

Went in at around 5 pm so there wasn't any wait at all. Delicious food, helpful staff, and a very lively atmosphere. Loved the Carabineros. The only downside is that the stalls were a bit too tall with not enough space to store your belongings. But you get to see everything happening in the kitchen so that was nice.

We had the Ham Croquetas; I could go on and on about just those. My word, so tasty, so crunchy, so lush, so cheesy. Take me back please. Ordered the Chipirones and the Gambas Rojas as well. They both tasted so good as well but the crown goes to the Ham Croquetas. We had Sangrias for drinks, pretty strong and they came in a big glass. Enjoyed my meal, would recommend.
Sean Renner - a month ago

This was my first time at Barrafina and overall I left disappointed. With the exception of the carabinero rice, we felt the quality wasn’t there. The tortilla lacked the intensity in flavour, it didn’t really taste of olive oil. The croquetas portion and the duck breast were very small for the price and the brill was extremely oily. Overall it just didn’t replicate Spanish food and flavours and we were not surprised it has lost its Michelin star this year.

I last came in 2021 when I was very impressed by the food and service. 3 years later, here I am again but quite a lot has changed. The food was still okay but not as good as previous visit, and dishes like their signature prawns have downsized. But their tortilla and beef are still very good. The menu in general has increased in prices. One thing I found quite striking in this visit is that their staff, the junior ones in particular, were quite inattentive and lacked communication with the customers. For example, they didn’t utter a word of thanks when the bill was paid, nor anyone noticed when I walked out of the restaurant. It was the last thing I expected from a Michelin restaurant. Perhaps it was the minor but important details like this that made me felt bumped about this restaurant which I used to like so much!

Good pick for Chettinad cusine lovers. The portions are a bit small. The food is flavourful. The place gets quite busy for dinner. Hence, a reservation is highly recommended. They also charge a service fee of 10% by default, which may come to some as a surprise. Overall, it's worth a try.
Abhinav Tripathi - 3 months ago

Amazing food, authentic taste, and good service. The Veg and the Non veg platters were really yummy and good portions. We further tried the Paratha and the Chicken Curry, which were very well prepared. The Chocolate Dosa was quite nice as well. Good location and full house. Highly recommended.

Such a surprise that it’s authentic, even better than the ones i tried in California! It was spicy , but able to manage😂Waiter was really nice, explaining the dishes and the spicyness. Very kind and very helpful.
楊子嫺 - 3 months ago

Good variety of vegetarian and vegan options to try here. We ordered the pre-meal snack, veg thali, and masala dosa. Each dish was flavourful, though the masala dosa had a bit more spice than expected. It was nice and quiet during our weekday visit, so we could relax and take our time. Definitely a spot worth visiting for good food in a cozy atmosphere.
