The food is quite good, although a bit mixed (e.g. some of the breads are probably the best I've ever had, some of the meat dishes, on the other hand, whilst pretty good are unexceptional, and smallish, definitely not value for money).

The menu looked good, not your ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/142.htm Went there last week on Friday evening. Here's my feedback:- Ambience - Awesome! you dont know what's in there unless you step inside.

Service - Very good service, attentive ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/142.htm I have just been to La Porte des Indes and was bitterly disappointed by the food.
