Charuwan Thai Restaurant

Nice food and prettily decorated restaurant, but not worth trekking to the other side of town for. It's handy place to know, if you live in the neighbourhood. They seem to do take-away too.

I had green curry, but it was a bit watery and not too flavoursome. The rice seemed a little of poor quality. The restaurant itself was nice and the waitress was very friendly too.

Soho Japan

Definitely my favourite Japanese restaurant in London! The food was fantastic and the price is reasonable. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated too. Highly recommended!

Kikuchi

Definitely authentic and excellent food! Sushi was one of the best I've had in London! But, I don't think it's worth the price tag.

Chutney Raj

The food was nice, but the service wasn't.

I took a group of about 15 people from work here. We wanted this to be a cheap and cheerful meal, so we all ordered our own individual dishes. But the waiter kept on bringing more dishes than we had asked for, e.g. extra vegetable side dishes and various kinds of naan. I complained and his claim was that someone on the other side of the table asked for a vegetable side dish and he took the liberty of bringing various vegetable side dishes for the whole table. The same with naan bread. Someone asked for one portion of naan bread and he decided the whole table wanted it. We complained and at the end he struck off two vegetable dishes off the bill, but it came in much much higher than we wanted and there was so much food left over. We felt like the waiter was trying his luck.

It was such a shame, because the food was actually quite good and priced reasonably, but things like this can really ruin the atmosphere and the experience. So, if you go with a large group, make sure you keep an eye on what's coming on to the table.
