Bevis Marks

After having heard so many wonderful things and reading some great reviews I decided the time had come to take one for the team.

What an experience. The restaurant itself is in synagogue grounds and is beautiful in its entirety. Upon entry the staff could not have been more attentive and once seated, an assortment of freshly baked bread was offered in abundance.

The courses arrived in good time; no painful waiting had to be endured. Everything about it – the presentation, the food itself, were, for want of a much less fruity word – divine. The Salt Beef Chilli Stir Fry to start was fantastic. For mains the Steak was cooked to perfection and served with a salsa verde and the best chips I have ever experienced in a kosher restaurant. The tzimmes recipe however (a honeyed carrot and raison side order) was not to my liking it needs meat and dumpling for it to deserve its name. Yet this dish I have since learned varies by community.

The proof of the fig and almond pudding was really in the eating as I am drooling slightly as I recollect.

Although a little pricey (although not prohibitively so) I can now confirm that this restaurant is easily the best kosher restaurant in the United Kingdom, it is located apart from the rest, and stands well apart from the rest . North West London- Take some notes.
