London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Tottenham Court Road Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

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.

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!

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.

had amazing time on “Lost in Shanghai” brunch at Hakkasan Hanway Place, where every moment felt like a vibrant escape into another world. The ambience was electrifying, with neon lights casting a captivating glow that perfectly complemented the chic, modern décor.

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.

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.

My husband and I were visiting from the Bahamas and wanted a restaurant serving French Cuisine. So we did a google search and L’ Escargots came up with excellent reviews. To say the least, they did not disappoint and lived up to all of the great reviews. The service was top notch. I believe the name of our server was David (he said he was from Spain). The servers were knowledgeable of the menu and made some good recommendations.I told him I wanted a sweet cocktail and he brought back a delicious passion fruit drink that i absolutely loved. We had the escargots, French onion soup, lamb (Navarin d'agneau 'Printanier'), beef (Fillet of beef 'en croûte', sauce Périgourdine), potatoes (Pomme Dauphinoise) and madeleines for dessert. Everything was perfect and flavorful. When we visit London again we will be sure to dine at this restaurant.

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.

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!

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!

Lychee martinis are brilliant!! The riceberry rice is delicious! I’m shocked they had it on the menu! A nice change! I ordered too much food but it was brilliant! I will go back again as there’s other items I really want to try and I would really recommend ESPECIALLY if you like coconut!! See the menu it’ll make sense!! And look at the desert menu! Half of it is coconut deserts which I adore!

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!

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.

Great venue, decor and ambience. I went here for Sunday lunch. The staff were really professional and helpful. The food was great and arrived hot. Would recommend if you want to try Brazilian food.

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.

Really like the atmosphere prefectly goes with the brazillian theme. Food options are limited but vegetarian options are available. Booked through Fork and received a half price deal on food. 5pm to 7pm they have Happy Hour deal where you can enjoy 2 for 1 on house cocktails every day. Food was decent not great really like there fries. They have surprised us with cheese cake from restaurant side for birthday celebration. The staff are lovely and very accommodating.

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.

Amazing place! Absolutely loved it. Small cute and with that amazing smell of rock and roll. I went on a weekend evening. The place is small, so you might need to wait for a decent seat, but the live music and blues session in there are amazing. And the crowd is a complete part of it.
Michael Frassine (Conceptual Plus) - 3 months ago

This place is a hidden gem. We stumbled into this place after for a boogie and we weee not disappointed. Despite the £10 entry, it became worth it by the end. The jazz singer was super lively and had a fantastic voice. The band were also incredible. As for drinks they went down easy too!

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 - 4 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 - 3 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.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bibimbap Soho in London, and it was an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly service and a vibrant, bustling atmosphere that perfectly captured the essence of Korean dining. NOTE: THIS RESTAURANT DOESNT TAKE BOOKINGS AND ITS WALK IN WITH A WAIT. WE WERE 4 PEOPLE AND HAD TO WAIT FOR 40 MINS. Great vegetarian options and they even do them without eggs. The menu offers an impressive variety of bibimbap options, each meticulously prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I opted for the classic tofu and mushroom bibimbap and Jap Chae and it did not disappoint. The sizzling stone bowls ensure that every bite remains hot and flavorful, and the balance of textures and flavors is spot on. Additionally, their selection of side dishes, like kimchi and pickled radishes, complements the main course wonderfully. In summary, Bibimbap Soho is a gem in the heart of London, offering a truly authentic and delicious Korean dining experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of Korean cuisine or a first-time visitor, Bibimbap Soho is sure to impress with its fantastic food, friendly service, and vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommended!

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 - in the last week

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.

One of the best places to have an all vegetarian meal. It’s located in a temple premises and all their food is our vegetarian without onion and garlic but you can’t tell by the taste as it’s really nice. A self service style restaurant where you order at the counter from a buffet style display , pay at the till and sit down to eat.

I recently visited Govinda’s Restaurant, and it’s a great spot, especially for breakfast and lunch. It’s a pure vegetarian place, offering a wide variety of delicious and wholesome dishes. The restaurant is located right next to the ISKCON temple, which adds to its peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. Even though it gets quite busy during lunchtime, the vibe remains calm and inviting. If you’re looking for a serene place to enjoy a tasty vegetarian meal, Govinda’s is definitely worth checking out.

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.

It was unfortunately a disappointment. Generally it’s too pricy for what it is. Patatas bravas was good. Squid was ok. But there was small stones in almost each mussels. It made our experience go way down. We were told that mussels are cleaned and it should be expected to have those stones “like in each animal product” but it wasn’t possible to keep eating them. Also, 12.5% of service charge is quite high for a place which you get the dishes straight from the pan to your table with 1 m of distance. And it is not optional. Atmosphere: you eat at the bar which is right next to the kitchen, as you can watch every single thing being cooked. This might be cool for some but I’ve found myself in a middle of a noisy kitchen.
Hüseyin Emir Bircan - 3 weeks ago

The portions were really small, I understand that tapas is meant to be small plates, but the prices were way too high for what you get. It felt like we were paying fine dining prices, but we were sitting at a bar with pretty average service. In additon to that, the menu is mostly seafood, and it felt more like a seafood bar than a true tapas place.

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!

Excellent Tapas in the middle of Soho. Cuttlefish croquette is light, flavourful, Tuna Soasado is freshly prepared and well-balanced, Scallop with aubergine mouse is outstanding. Great chefs and friendly staff. Highly recommend

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.

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.

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.

A disappointment, went here with high expectations with a few friends all from South India and the food was just average at best. The thali was full for making it sound fancy and full but all the dishes were having similar taste. We checked if some of the dishes can be swapped with others that we wanted but they said no. We ended up wasting a lot of food as we just could finish it. Service wasnt great either. For the price i would anyday go to East Ham for authentic South Indian food instead of here. Vada was nice and the only highlight.
