Contemporary West African Fusion Restaurant in the Heart of Knightsbridge

Isibani Restaurant, Knightsbridge

We really wanted to love this restaurant and we try to support good African restaurants where we can. We sadly left disappointed though - and Isibani has a long way to go before it can meaningfully compete with the likes of, say, Stork.

The interior was underwhelming - no mood lighting, the tables were uncomfortably close together, and the physical menu was on tired card. Had the feel of a casual/ lunch spot (despite the high end price point).

The food was very tasty, well presented and the mains (egusi and fisherman's soup) were reasonably priced (esp. for the area). My partner's egusi arrived cold however and my starter (the Oxtail on tea bread) was overpriced for what it was. Also odd there are no cocktails or mocktails.

The waitresses made it difficult for us to settle - and made us borderline unomfortable. Lots of anxiously buzzing around tables and some comments which seemed impatient and dismissive.

My partner's never going back - but I'd return because I think they need more time to find their feet and develop a better sense of their unique offering to the scene. If you're going manage expectations.

On Thursday evening,  we celebrated a friend's birthday at Isibani. There were 15 of us so we had to order ahead of time and we tasted a bit of several things on the menu. I just wanted to mention that planning was smooth and the manager was helpful in suggesting several choice of food options and drinks for the party.  The dishes are cooked with care and served well. The flavours are well balanced. As we took the entire first floor, we were left to our own devices and the music up there was acrobats.  The staff really went out of their way to make the evening great. For small events, this is a place to go. Use the upper floor as it has a terrace you can use for pre-dinner drink.. The bill is definitely honest.

Our experience at Isibani Restaurant was one for the books! Right from the first phone call, Isibani provided a unique, warm, and world-class service that would be hard to compare with any other establishment of similar heights and calibre. The ambience and atmosphere truly in touch with the West African spirit, meant that the group had a glorious time—and the food (served by their amazing staff) was in essence an elevation and re-invention of old and new flavours borne out of Nigeria and beyond.

All to say, this restaurant comes highly recommended, and it exceedingly justifies itself as word-of-mouth sensation!

I had never tasted African food before. I have been here in London for about 3 months and some colleagues took me to Isibani just to taste African cuisine. I must say that the flavours are unusual but very good. I had some meat dishes (suya) and I liked them very much. Prices OK.

I had the pleasure of dining at Isibani, the food was outstanding. The perfect blend of flavours and textures made for an amazing dining experience.
A perfect London’s fine Nigerian and European fusion dining experience.
I will definitely be back!

Parker's Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel, London

One of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had in London, even 1 star is too much for them!!

Myself and a friend ordered the Cheetos mac n cheese, beef burger and fries. They only brought the mac n cheese (which was tasteless - the only flavour was from the Cheetos). About half an hour later still no sign of the rest of our order. Different waiters/waitresses kept coming and asking us if anything was missing! Then when we told them what was missing  they said they would go and check.

The supposed ‘assistant manager’ who also came over several times was extremely unprofessional, she was telling us about her personal life at home, sorry but keep that to yourself! When we asked her about the burger she told us it was sitting in the kitchen and was probably cold by now so would ask them to make another one! She also apologised for the delay and said this was due to the soft opening and that the waiters were inexperienced Indians which she had to deal with on a daily basis! We could not believe such racial language from a member of staff about their colleagues, she should be ashamed of herself!

Another half an hour later still no sign of any burger but miraculously the next table got their burger and they sat down after us! By this time we were fed up and told the waiter to forget the rest of the order and that we were leaving.

Having heard about our discontent, the ‘manager’ rushed over and was very apologetic and said we were welcome to come back whenever we wanted, to try the Matilda cake on the house (which by the way we were told was sold out on the day but saw about 5 plates being carried out to different tables, one of which we were told was the family of the restaurant owner! So you pick and choose which customers can order things on the menu, unbelievable!). The manager told us just to message her beforehand to get our table ready well surprise surprise, we messaged her yesterday morning (a couple of weeks after our first visit) and received absolutely no response!

If you think this level of service is acceptable then you really do not know anything about hospitality! I do not usually leave such bad reviews but I had to share my experience with others as you do not deserve one penny. How Jumeirah can have such a restaurant as part of their hotel is beyond me.

Avoid at all costs!!

Appalling service. Sold out of Matilda Cake yet bloggers were there claiming plenty of free food including many items which were told as sold out.

Food is extremely overpriced for what is offered. Definitely not comparable to the Parkers in Dubai!

First and last time we will try this restaurant. We came only for dessert and coffee. First of all there are no pleny of choices. The karak was not hot enough. There was no professionalism in serving the dessert. The spoons are very big for the dessert.

Try the wagyu sandwich and the lemon chicken. Exceptional food and service. Love the location as well. Matilda cake for chocolate lovers is a must!

Came all the way from Manchester to try Matilda cake was sold out and very disappointed with customer service. Parkers Dubai better.

Chai Wu

Loved it, nice atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, great service and very delicious food.

Great Chinese restaurant in central london and Harrods
Great taste, quick service and to the point.

Slow service and very overpriced average food.

I didn’t like anything to be honest and the food is  over priced

Most of our items are halal apart from the Miyazakigyu Beef and our Duck Spring Rolls that are not halal certified.

Al Mare

Marvellous! It is so wonderful to have a lovely restaurant to go to that serves Halal meat AND has first class service! Olivia is truly wonderful! Our first visit was for a birthday celebration and we have been making it a tradition to go back for all occasions! We have been there for lunch and even enjoyed Christmas Day breakfast there which was delicious! The eggs florentine were perfect!!
Olivia is so delightful and warm! She really makes our visits to the restaurant enjoyable and she has a lovely sense of humour 😁
So glad The Carlton Jumeirah has re opened and the hotel itself looks really nice. The ambience in the restaurant is classy and the quality of the service is truly first class!! Thank you to all the staff and especially Olivia who adds more cheer to our visits ☺️

One of the best contemporary Italians I've been to so far in London. Incredible food, fantastic service and a nice setting. Prices match the quality £££. Solange and Alex and the rest of the team. were fantastic. Don't miss out on the Calamari (best I've ever had) and the insanely tasty French toast for dessert. Well done Jumeirah!

We had an amazing date night. The food was excellent and of the highest quality. We also had some cocktails at the bar. The ambience is warm and elegant, and the service is very attentive and thoughtful.
Would love to come back and visit soon.

Great contemporary Italian place with excellent food. House bread basket, Parmigiana di Melanzane, Vitello Milanese and Chianti of course are fantastic. Staff is super friendly so despite of the upscale look of the place experience is cozy and casual

We came for breakfast, the creme brûlée french toast is amazing. Service is great, however its very pricey for just breakfast with that limited options.

The Terrace by L'Opera

I was unsure about this place due to the numerous bad reviews.
This aesthetic small, yet cozy place did not disappoint. The food was amazing, and the total bill was reasonable even with service charge. We were treated by the kindest waiter named Khalid who was so kind to take pictures of us and made us feel comfortable by being available!
Employee of the day award goes to Khalid for sure:) Keep it up!

Really love place. Interior is lovely and perfect for pictures. Went for a birthday and brought our own cake but that's not allowed, instead just bought a cake from them and asked them to light it with a candle which they happily did. Our waiter Khalid was so lovely. Very friendly and hospitable and even took some pictures for us. The place is definitely on the pricer side and mains were decent. All in all would definitely come back.

Nice clean restaurant, staff were welcoming and friendly. Food was decent and filling. You can play card games and they have a board for checkers. Overall a pleasant experience

We nearly didn’t go here after reading the reviews, but as we were close by we thought we would take the chance and give it a go anyway.

From the moment we walked in, we were treated with the upmost respect, courtesy and the service was 10/10.

The food came really quickly, tasted amazing and shockingly the bill was very reasonable (even with the service charge)…

If ever we are in the area we will come back again :)

Enjoyed the vibes at The Terrace by L'Opera. The place was very aesthetic and offered a lot of seating, very cozy too. Food wise, they offered mediterranean food and treats like crepes and cakes. The service was good too!

Privée by Layalina

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The staff here are so lovely, kind, attentive and friendly. The food is of amazing quality, the atmosphere at night is nice. In my opinion,  it is good value for money, I have been here a few times now and will definitely be a regular. The manager is really cool and makes it very clear he is here to help. The Shisha master guy is a lovely person. Cant wait to see you guys again soon

We have been to Layalina three times now, once before lockdown and twice after.
 Food is always fresh and delicious;  an excellent choice will offer something for everyone. 
Service is consistently attentive without being intrusive; very friendly and well-informed staff!
The restaurant is well-set up in line with Covid rules; in spite of these measures the place still feels cosy and has a lovely atmosphere. 
I can't recommend this place highly enough. Please visit.

we chose LayaLina as our first restaurant to visit on Super Saturday. I don't need to say anything about the food as Layalina is famous for its Lebanese cuisine.  what impressed me again was how superbly they carried out their Covid 19 safety measures. As soon as we arrive at the door, our temperature were taken. Each table had a bottle of hand gel, in fact, hand gels were located through out the venue.  We found our sterilised cutlery and serviette sealed in a bag. Tables had a good distance between each other. We felt so safe that evening. Subsequently, the next day i visited three other places, for brunch and drinks, and non of them provided this extensive safety measures. 
oh another great found, they've now started selling home made organic jams, dried fruits and nuts. All produce organic.Of course we indulged in a few jar of jams :p

The dancers were superb as was the host but the night was short and very expensive.

Devi is lovely and so welcoming and so nicely dressed!!! And the food is amazing, cutlery all in a sealed bag, really great :) recommend the shish taouk and crispy cheese :)

Bao kitchen

The good thing is the food. The food came super quickly and everything was of high caliber. However, the bad thing is the price. Everything is way too overpriced, 1 duck breast is £28?! I wouldn't say it is worth it for me personally, but others may enjoy this type of food.

The xlb lack the aesthetic beauty of true culinary jewels. Also they mostly lacked soup and had no vegetables (just meat inside). That said it’s not the restaurant’s specialty. The titular bao are the little Asian sandwiches which are so popular these days. DH had some and declared them good as well as more filling than he expected.  My crispy pork belly (which I don’t think is an accurate description of the anatomical source of the cut??) was fine. Really expensive though.

Great food but much too expensive. Was able to get seated very quickly and staff were friendly. This place makes a nice stop when shopping in Harrods and the food and drinks are tasty, well presented and also feel somewhat healthy. During my visit I had a number of different dishes off the Bao Menu including Dim Sum (Prawn dumplings with truffle oil - delicious, light and tasty), Yam bean vegetable dumpling - a first for me but good overall, prawn cracker with truffle spicy mayo - the star of the show.

Would definetly become a regular during my trips to Harrods if it wasnt so expensive.

Excellent food, friendly staff, excellent service. Ordered 2 baos, the lobster one and the pork bao. My favorite was the lobster bao with delicious sauce. Really good restaurant if you’re at Harrods.

Probably the best authentic Tonkotsu Ramen I've ever had. Lots of other incredible dishes including Bao with Wagyu etc. The cocktail I had, was a perfect balance between fruity and a nice spirit.

All meat is Halal. We do serve pork but all pork dishes are prepared separately to avoid cross contamination.

Bao Kitchen

High-end Pan-Asian cuisine plus cocktails and live DJ sets in an extravagant baroque setting.

Seafood is the best food 😋
.
We headed to Buddha Bar last Sunday. For starters we ordered the Rock Shrimp Tempura and Chilli Baby Squid. The Shrimp was covered in a mouth-watering batter and tasted great with and without sauce 👌🏽 The batter on the Squid could’ve been a little thicker and more crunchy, but we still enjoyed it. We also asked for the Black Cod and Salmon Fishcakes, which were my favourite! The potato didn’t overpower the fish and the breadcrumb coating was deliciously crumbly 🤤 Buddha Bar have an extensive range of sushi, and after much deliberation we decided on the Hokusai Maki. We were certainly not disappointed and it was probably our favourite dish! The Prawn Thai Red Curry had a very strong flavour of coconut which Naimul really liked, but we would have preferred the veggies to have been cooked a little longer.
The atmosphere at Buddha Bar was cool and the restaurant itself is stunning, so it’s a lovely place for dinner with friends or your other half!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Bhudda Bar Knightsbridge on Instagram

Steamed sea bass fillet, cherry tomato, Thai basil, red chilli and lemongrass from @Buddha_Bar_London 
The sea bass was cooked well but the portion was just too small. I also had a taste of my friends chicken dishes and that tasted really good, tender, grilled well and not dry.

Ordered the "Wellness menu" - where for £29 you get a drink, choice of salad starter, main and desert. This displayed value for money so I opted for that.

Starters I ordered the Quinoa, sweet potato & spiced feta salad, the sea bass, with rice (pictured) with Dark chocolate coated strawberries for desert and a Pina Colda to drink which was brilliant, in fact the drinks where all very good.

Service was okay, out waiter explained the menu well and was friendly. It was a friday night so there was a lot of hustle and bustle. The wellness menu is decent value for money, but the A La carte is overpriced. 
ℹ Only the Chicken is halal.

@halalfoodguy's review of Bhudda Bar Knightsbridge on Instagram

Buddha-Bar London

This is a unique environment.  I have experienced Buddha Bar in NY, Paris, and now London.

Very sweet vibe, pricey yet delicious!
Definitely worth the visit..

I loved the ambience but my experience with dining was a big disappointment. I was expecting the food to be great because I had read so many good reviews, however it was far from great. Over priced and food was tasteless.

Very bad service. When entering, they told us that there is no table for you now. Sit at the bar 🤬 and after a long argument with them, they said we will prepare a table for you.  Unwelcoming reception and rude .  The food was normal and the atmosphere was very noisy and uncomfortable. I do not recommend it

What a great spot with amazing food and super cool vibe. Try the toro tartar 😻 as well as their ceviche and sesame cake. This place is great for both romantic dinners and fun-filled nights. We had amazing time, to repeat.

The sushi was incredible. The beef short rib was flavourful and cooked to perfection. The overall vibe of the restaurant is nice, a bit dark inside for photos but really good service. Not too expensive for what it is, perfect for date night

All our meat is halal except the duck, with alcohol served in the restaurant. There might be dishes with alcohol as well, make sure to ask your waiter/state your dietary requirements when booking.

Hot May Pot Pot 好味锅锅

Where do I start from!!!! The food was totally amazing! The reviews on here aren't hyped, they are true! From entering, all the way to our seats, meal and departure, the customer service was over the top! And there was nothing we disliked, the food was really really really good. The only think is that it's a bit on the high end (it's in Knightsbridge so should be expected). My partner and I had the pancake with beef starter, seafood platter, beef and noodles, with one drink (I had tap water, oh and they infuse it with fresh fruits!!!) and the bill came up to £165. Unlike traditional hot pots, someone prepares all the meat and serves you when it's ready, from beginning to end.

We totally loved it and we would want to try the M9 beef that everyone keeps raving about. We had a little bit of the low end beef and it tasted melt-in-your-mouth amazing so cannot imagine!

Upscale and exciting hot pot experience. Lovely space combined with excellent food. We we were reminded that all the ingredients are organic with no additives like MSG or chicken powder. The quality of the produce really shines through.

Individual hot pots makes this a more individual experience as well, allowing you to choose different broth depending on taste.

Tried a lot of familiar flavours, combined with a lot of new ones. It was an accessible first hot pot for the both of us. Great cocktails too.

Highly recommended.

Just had hot pot in this very chic place with my friend last night, what a surprise! All the ingredients were really fresh - beef, seafood, juices (pomegranate juice is my favourite! Forgot to take a photo as I finished it too quickly!) I love everything there! Excellent services as well. Highly recommended!

This is the place that I highly recommend if you want to try the authentic Chinese cuisine. The meat and seafood were superb, you can really taste how fresh the ingredients are. The whole experience was extraordinary, great service with relaxed atmosphere. The cocktails were so good as well! Will definitely return soon.

I just came here with my daughter completely by accident we were in the area and googled best Chinese restaurant and thought we would check it out.
I only have three words to describe what we just ate , Wow Wow Wow , having never had this type of cuisine it was Amaxibg , we had 2 rounds of amazing Sashimi to start with washed down with cool crisp champagne followed by 2 hot pots 1 beef 1 chicken with the medium grade beef , I have never had meat that just melts on contact like this we also had the garden vegetables and rainbow noodles.
Service was superb from the initial enthusiast greeting by front of house to the waiters.
Can’t wait to come back Price was also very reasonable compared to say Hutong.
Great stuff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hot May Pot Pot

A modern take on Turkish cuisine in the heart of Knightsbridge

I made the 2 hour round trip on the district line to visit my favourite Turkish restaurant @mantlknightsbridge

I celebrated my 2 year wedding anniversary, my wife hadn't been before so we decided to go. My last visit was 2 years ago when it first opened (as a invite) and it was a great experience. This time I went as a regular paying customer.

When we go to eat out we tend to order loads of starters rather than the traditional 1 starter and main each. That's what we did here. It allows us to taste more of the menu, get more for our money and good left overs for tomorrow lunch.

Charred Aubergine £8
Grilled Prawns £12
Manti £8
Pulled lamb hummus £9

Mac N cheese £5
Tripple cooked chips £5

Adana £18

Apple juice £5
Nargile Swing £8

I don't eat hummus that much, but Mrs HFG does and I'm glad she got this pulled lamb hummus dish because it was absolutely delicious!

I remember the Adana being amazing when I first tried it and it set the bar high for any Adana kebebs I had after that. This adana wasn't as good as I remember from my 1st visit which was almost a 10/10, however, it was still very good, packed full of flavour and cooked perfectly so it wasn't dry, 9/10

The mac N cheese was another favourite as to the grilled prawns which were fantastic.

My Nargile Swing drink was made with Strawberry, maple syrup, lemon juice and egg white.. Yes egg white. I liked this and better than over sweet standard fruit Mocktails.

For dessert I got the MILK KADAYIF a dish I again had on my 1st visit and never found in any other restaurant since. Its like a milk cake meets Shemai (Sweet Vermicelli) I love it. The lady for a chocolate foudant both £9. But as it was our wedding anniversary the restaurant gave it to us on the house! Thanks @mantlknightsbridge

One of my most frequently asked questions are recommendations places for a anniversary, for me and my wife we want the food to be the most important thing, obviously service and settings are important as well

@halalfoodguy's review of The Mantl Knightsbridge on Instagram

The Mantl

Great service. Wonderful tasting food, my favourite is the lamb beyti but I did like the shredded lamb hummus as well. I wasn’t particular impressed with the wings. I feel if you stick to the Turkish foods you will be delighted.

Our second time here and probably won’t be the last.

Semi decent Turkish restaurant, where you pay primarily for the location. Service was mediocre. The restaurant wasn't too busy. The most annoying thing about the service was having to repeatedly ask for sauces which would end up taking about 5 minutes to arrive, on some occasions the waiting staff would have to be reminded. We were two people and after each ask they only gave one sauce pot (about the size of two table spoons) between the two of us. You really don't want to be in the middle of your food and wait for condiments to arrive to continue eating. At times I had to stop eating as the food was so bland and desperately needed some chilli sauce to give it some life and flavour.

Overall just based on the taste of the food, you will find much better tasting Turkish food elsewhere. London restaurants, in my opinion, are nothing special but you pay out your nose for them because of the location. The bill came to £34 per person with a shared started, 2 mains and a soft drink. On the plus side, all the food was fresh. Worth a one off visit, but I don't see my self coming back. I know of better tasting Turkish food for a fraction of the price.

Came here for the 1st time last night for dinner and was so glad I did. The experience was perfect from start to finish. The staff and the manager Jacob really looked after us and helped us with the wonderful menu choices. We opted for the Sea Bass and Lamb Shish, with salad, homemade chips and hummus as a starter. The food was freshly cooked in the open kitchen to the rear and in full view to all diners. Every mouthful was a joy, literally tasted so good I'm already planning my next visit. The decor was very classy, lighting was perfect and the ambience was spot on being so close to the iconic Harrods. The attitude of the staff was very nice, friendly and lots of smiles I truly enjoyed interacting with them all and my complimentary bottle of coke at the end was a really kind gesture from Jacob which I really appreciate. Thank you all at Mantl...I shall be back again very soon as I totally loved the experience I had here today. Warmest Regards.

Not a huge Turkish fan, but this place was unique.
The pistachio lamb was interesting, it was sweet, not what i was expecting. Worth a try but preferred the chops.

The mash was good but nothing amazing, needed to be creamier.

Prawns were 10/10 a must try, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection.

Mocktails were not memorable, and decent at best.

Pulled lamb hummus was a winner, lamb was tender and soft, and complimented the hummus really well.

A bit pricier than the average Turkish, but this wasn’t an average Turkish.

Service was really good, we made it a little late to our reservation but the servers were accommodating, but warned us the kitchen would close at 10:30pm.
After we had sat down they did tell us not to rush, to go through menu and then order.

Would return and recommend.

Went here to have some dessert. Kunafe with ice cream, a bit too cheesy for me. Turkish tea was good too. It took a while for them to take the order but overall seems a good place. Pricey for what it is (a decent Turkish grill place), but expected on Brompton road.

Our food are 100% Halal. Alcohol present. Certification available.

The food was exceptional! I was delighted to come across Madhu's 2 Go in Harvey Nichols. Can't wait to go back soon, the chilli chicken wrap was amazing. Staff were also super attentive.

Madhu's Brasserie

Now that is what I call coffee. Their coffee is the best I have ever had, I would confirm that the coffee here is a cup of hope in a world full of chaos and Mondays. Felt like a hug in a mug. The coffee here isn't a drink, its a cup of sanity. A remarkable sonata of baking spices and aromatic woods. Imagine a grand piano. Now imagine playing a descending F major arpeggio over several octaves. Now imagine that, instead of sounds, the piano produces alternating aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, cedar, and maple. I think their coffees are picked "with the tenderness of a child and the precision of an eagle, without damage of the coffee plant for future reaps.

Coffee and food are absolutely delicious. The place itself has a very relaxing and elegant vibe. Super convenient as it's close to Knightsbridge tube station and Hyde park.

Consistently good coffee in both my visits. They close pretty early though, at 5pm. Drop by and grab drinks and food on the way to Hyde Park if coming from Park Close!

Worst coffee ever

Didn’t need that place in the neighbourhood at all

If you like good coffee Go to carpo in front of harrods it’s worth the price at least

Thé price is not even an issue, every person living in Knightsbridge knows what to pay and I’m very used to it as to reply to  your assumption

Thé interior design is a close copy of carpo and the product is far less good

Asking for an ice Americano and being recommended a cold brew directly coming from a machine that takes 3 second to serve for a higher price than carpo is just ridiculous

Cool place, nice and simple breakfast. Suitable for work.

High-end Italian restaurant inside The Wellesley (Marriott)

Oval Restaurant

delicious dish!!! best in Batumi!
highly recommended!

Lovely food. The restaurant was empty except for our table, so not much of an atmosphere. Still worth visiting.

Small Art Deco room, with excellent food and service.

This is in my top 3 list of favourite restaurants; and with so many good options in London; this is a bit achievement; this is one of those restaurants you will remember.

The service was just brilliant and our waitress was lovely; I which I had asked for her name but she is from Ecuador and was friendly, professional and lovely - a pleasure to talk to her.

The food was excellent; we had 5 different dishes and each of them was excellent; I can't decide which one I preferred the most but they're all delicious.

It is also very central so easy to get to; the only thing I wasn't very keen on was the decoration as it feel a bit clinical; however, this is just matter of time as my partner completely loved it.

Select dishes are halal. Pork and alcohol present.

Having been to Nusret in dubai and turkey, it’s only right for me to visit the London branch. I’ve always been a fan of his burgers when I had them in dubai and the only reason I’ll only come to Nusret is for burgers. They are probably the best high end burger in London.
.
I am only comparing this burger with the best two high end burger I rate highly, one from cut45 and other one from Gordon Ramsey burger bar. It’s fair to say Nusret overtakes the both.
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Nusret Burger with Chips (£50)
🔳 Sliced Wagyu Tenderloin (£85)
🔳 Short Rib Taco Burger (£25)
🔳 Flower Onion (£18)
🔳 Baklava (£25)
.
With the controversial steaks and prices. So if your ordering gold steaks expect to pay them ridiculous prices. My one was £85 which was tender and buttery. All the cuts are Wagyu, also some of these massive steaks with big price tags are for sharing.
.
What I don’t like at Nusret. The flower onion is tasteless. I only had this previously at Stax diner and it banged. However this was overly oily and bland. Also the short ribs when I had them in dubai, was soft however bland and super bland lol with regards to the tacos I had here, it was actually enjoyable, probably because the guacamole and other condiments kinda helped out, but nothing really mind blowing.
.
The burger is easily the best burger you’ll have. A very pricey burger however it’s just a super super super juicy burger. So juicy the juices never stop. The meat is soft and buttery.
.
The baklava personally for me is decent. Didn’t have the wow factor like the ones in turkey and dubai. Tasted like the ordinary ones we all have in any Turkish places.
.
All in all I love his burgers. My total came £250 which is standard central London high end spots. It’s an occasional spot I guess. I know many wouldn’t agree or don’t like the Nusret brand itself. But each to their own
.
What’s your opinion or experience at Nusret?

With so many of you still going Turkiye I thought I'd post my review of my most favorite restaurant @nusr_et and why I rate it so highly. Seeing myself in a coat in the snow is a vast contrast to the current weather but better late than never - still on YouTube! You guys been yet?

Nusr-Et Steakhouse London

The most amazing gastronomic experience in my life! The best choice for meat lovers. Lovely staff, very polite and professionals but also fun. Great atmosphere. A little bit expensive but totally worth it!!

Wonderful immersive experience rather than restaurant visit. Fantastic service, divine food, amazing cocktails and wine selection. You know it’s going to be pricey but it’s worth every penny.
The service so professional, happy, attentive with attention to details. Really enjoyed delicious steak filled with flavours. Will def be back! We went for a drink one Sunday and decided to book for dinner couple of days later. Had most amazing time! Really recommend to visit.

Expensive but a good place to be-

Food quality was high. The staff was very helpful. We were 9 adults and 8 children on a Friday night and still, the team did a marvelous job. Food-wise, Asado was the best. Don't forget the Baklava. Overall a very good experience.

Was very apprehensive about eating here but absolutely loved it. Did not go for the steaks (the cheapest was £85 and I just couldn’t justify it!) but we did get burgers and a range of sides. The burger was delicious- one of the best I’ve had in London. The truffle Parmesan fries were really good but could have been cooked better and more flavourful. They are missing out on having a range of sauces to eat with your food (we ended up ordering more of the sauce that comes with the onion flower to eat with our burgers). For sides we had the onion flower (everyone loved this), mushrooms (very good) & mashed potato (a little basic). I also ordered a virgin mocktail but it just tasted like juice so probably wouldn’t order again. I did not pay so not sure what the bill was, but I would definitely come back just for the burger meal. Service was nice and very attentive too, and the whole atmosphere was lovely.

Food was excellent. Service impeccable. Music surprisingly good. General Ambience could be better I felt. But overall, really worth it.

Most of our meat is Halal. Three dishes contain non-Halal meat. Please ask a member of staff for details or call in advance to request Halal.

Good cup of tea and at a reasonable price for Knightsbridge.  Good to see how they were disinfecting the tables before sitting us down.
Friendly service and overall can't go too far wrong.

Absolutely stupendous, specially that Karak Tea makes my stomach feel good. The next step after the Karak Tea is to smoke a shisha trust me it's a vibe with the right people. 😊

Great little place. The karak tea is fantastic, I'd always go for the cardamom version.  And the chapatis are also fresh and hot. Highly recommend the place. I gave 4 stars due to the cost, but hey, this is South Kensington after all. This price is quite normal there.

Taste of Doha in London. Nice atmosphere with authentic decor. Tasty chapati and karak. Would come again

Love this place, really nice to go to for a catch-up with a friend or if you would like some karak chai. They have a really nice cinnamon chapti type thing which I would recommend for sweet tooth lovers

Instagrammable coffee shop with an unusual pink colorscheme serving a range of coffee & sweets

As we were in our 3rd year of uni, exam season was craaaazy this year 😫. So what did we do to make ourselves feel better? Eat, of course! Elan Cafe (Park Lane) for breakfast, yaaaas please. 🤗

Food: Some of the desserts at Elan are actually to die for. We ordered the Rasberry and White Choc Chip Brownie, Millionaire Shortbread, Mix Fruit Tart and Rasberry and Vanilla Mousse. It’s safe to say that the two rasberry desserts were our favourites, especially the Mousse, which had a hard rasberry flavoured shell on the outside and light and fluffy vanilla mousse inside. The fruits on the Tart were fresh and sweet, but we felt like the tough tart case did not compliment the softness of the fruit. The Shortbread was also very firm and hard to break into. The Tea-Mojito wasn’t great guys, although you might enjoy it if you’re a fan of Green Tea. We both loved the Red Velvet Latte! 😍

Elan Cafe

Cute place aesthetic wise but drinks were not so great.

Beautiful and mesmerising cafe. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Great spot for taking photos. We were really impressed with the service and how clean the place is. Menu items are reasonably priced. 

We were served by staff member Elisa who really went above and beyond customer service, providing us menu, being attentive and approaching us for order at the right time, allowing us to move to the romantic table and taking pictures for us. 

All the staff at the store were very patient and understanding allowing us to take pictures comfortably. It’s rare to find excellent service and good hospitality like this in London.

Drinks were delicious and recommend the host chocolate with marshmallow on top. Best experience for our Valentine’s Day!

It's a really beautiful place. I came here with some friends while visiting London. The staff working here was lovely, the lady even offered to take a picture of us. Really great experience, amazing food !

Amazing staff they make one of the best caffe in london

Beautiful location but the menu is not the same at all the locations so you may want to browse the menus to see which location has what you want. Absolutely gorgeous!

Al Maskoof Iraqi Restaurant

Fantastic food! Everything was fresh and really tasty, the mixed kebabs are awesome and the mixed mezzi  is full of flavour. The hummus and breads are lovely. The plaice was really nice also. This is the second time I have been and I would certainly go again! Definitely worth a visit and not overpriced. Highly recommend!

Amazing meal I had after winterwonder land so fresh and delicious 
Lovely stuff and good price !

White British homeless guy will approach you with a leaflet saying this restaurant is Halal, whilst you are being seated he will take his commission and disappear. You will try to place an order from the leaflet instead will he told this is for takeaway order only. 
We placed order for 4 Sandwiches, it took them 1hours to make them, on other hand orders were being sent out for delivery one after another. We received a bill for our order which was £5 over charged. Reached home with the takeaway order, both naan and kebab were badly burnt had to through them away. 
DON’T TRUST THEM.
DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
REPORT THEM to Food Standard Agency immediately if you have experienced similar missue at this place

This is a fabulous restaurants if you're from overseas Dubai Iraq or any of the Asian companies very friendly people fresh fish cooked in front of you lamb shanks love you rice or round restaurants good ambience and fair prices for for London

Al Maskoof

Abdel Wahab Lebanese Restaurant

Really great, classic Lebanese food. Service is friendly and efficient. Felt very welcomed and everything was delicious.

What a fantastic restaurant, we went as a large work group and had a great time, service was on point atmosphere was excellent the place is nicely decorated and looks classy. The food was delicious very flavour sum. Been to a few places in Belgravia but this has to be my favourite, great place well recommended.

Very good service and reasonably priced for the area. The grilled chicken is excellent and we highly recommend the mixed grill. We got a free mixed grill and a giant platter of fruits, both complementary. The starters are on the smaller side, so get a few. Perfect for groups and for sharing. As a bonus there is a cigar room.  Go for the food and stay for the service!

Food was amazing! Surprisingly not pricey as esp with the location. Loved the vibe and the food was also great. First time in a while having dessert anywhere and it was yum!

Let's start with the good: the food is nice. Not great, but good. Would I come here again? Not of my own volition. 

An acquaintance had organised a small lunch of five and reserved a table under his name. When I arrived and mentioned the reservation, three staff members got involved, but none of them was seemingly able to work out which of the tables to take me to. They settled me on my own at a table of five and left me there (without a menu). Because they had seemed so disorganised, I had another look around the room and spotted my acquaintance at another table, so I went over to join him. Something similar happened to the other two people joining us. It seems strange to me that they seemingly could not work out which table the reservation was associated with.

We could see from the other tables that they seemed to have ordered a set menu. This was not offered to us and when we inquired about it, the waitress said that they don't have one. She asked the manager to come over and he said that they do, in fact, have a set menu and proceeded to explain it to us. The menu was £50 per person and it seemed like the quantity would be too much, so we ordered à la carte.

Overall, the experience left a lot to be desired and the food did not make up for that. You can get great Libanese food on Edgeware Road for less money and with better service (although the setting will not be as nice).

Abd el Wahab

The Acai Bowl and Banana Bread from Elan Cafe Marketplace, the perfect HEALTHY breakfast 😋 (lets ignore the delicious Elan Cake and Carrot Cake) 😂😂

ELAN Cafe

Always such a relaxed experience when I come here. Its a beautiful cafe, just in front of Harrods which such a comfortable, homely environment. 

The desserts are okay, but the atmosphere and service always make up for it

This place is very aestheticly pleasing but unfortunately there was only outdoor seating available at my time as inside was full. I wasn’t able to take pictures and the staff were décent. The food took time to come out as they forgot but it was okay

A lovely cafe with pink hues perfect for a cup of tea after shopping. I heard there is usually a waiting time but as i was there on a weekday i was seated straight away. But its busy inside. They could do with some better music in the background as it doesn’t go with the ambience. A good selection of cakes. Perfect for some instagrammable clicks.

Such an amazing and fairy place! The Pavlova is absolutely delicious. Good moment!!! And the team is so kind. Thank you. 
(You can seat for 45' max but it's okay)

I absolutely love coming here. The staff are always lovely and the Spanish latte with pistachio paste is delicious.

Feya is cute little cafe located just off Oxford Street, so it’s the perfect place to unwind over cake and coffee after a long day of shopping!
.

We ordered the Red Velvet Cake and Saffron Cake. The Red Velvet was deliciously moist with sweet buttercream. The Saffron Cake wasn’t to our taste; we find the taste of saffron quite strong... although we would recommend you guys give it a try if you haven’t already, some people love saffron cake! We also asked for the Waffles, and was a little bit disappointed with the portion size (you wouldn’t get a waffle that small at Urban Chocolatier! 😂) The White Hot Chocolate and Vanilla Latte were good though.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Feya Knightsbridge on Instagram

Feya

A Very nice cafe with exquisite food. The presentation of the food is lovely and brings the plate alive! The decor is beautiful aligned with the atmosphere and anyone who loves a Instagram picture. The staff are so lovely and friendly. If your going to book in advance ask for a bird cage table. Well done👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Decor was amazing & staff were so friendly. I had a pleasant experience. 

I would just say the food isn’t that great, it was quite pricey for what it was. Drinks were lovely though!

Lovely cafe with great atmosphere and amazing staff. It was pretty busy  when we went because of the eat out to help out scheme, but the girl who served us was so accommodating. I went for the Spanish latte and the saffron milk cake and both were so yummy!!! Will definitely visit again.

Your literally paying for the atmosphere the food is well below standard. Pancakes tasted as if store bought. Three cheese pasta felt like it came out of a can. But I guess once again it's simply an instagrammable venue. Atmosphere 5/5, food on the other hand nowhere near to what I'd expect for the price.

I have had a very nice waffle that was recommended to me by the staff.
Amazing experience! I do totally recommend that beautiful place.

Shezan

Food is amazing one of the best currys in my life, service was equally amazing defo going back when in london

Nice place and recommend food very delicious. There is no lift so if you are disabled don’t go there. The Place didn’t have Air condition very hot inside in summer time

I loved it! Was here with a friend for a dinner. The atmosphere is great, the service is good, the staff looks after everyone the best way they can, and you feel the hospitality. The food is very authentic, and definitely nothing you've ever had before! Be ready for some surprises, it's great for a gastronomic explorer too!
Highly recommended!

Great good, sadly restaurant was quiet, but will be going again

Shezan is a beautiful restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere to match. The waiters were really friendly and happy to help us with menu choices, I couldn’t pick a favourite as it was all so delicious! Impressive portion sizes and really good quality food – I will definitely be back! 😊

Who doesn't love a lamb chop! There's beauts are from @kahanilondon. I really different spice flavour to them which makes them taste different. These were little cooked over for my preference, but till really nice.

@halalfoodguy's review of Kahani Belgravia on Instagram

Kahani Restaurant Sloane Square

We had the six course tasting menu and it was exceptional. The service was perfect. Our server was a very sweet and pleasant fellow who was attentive and helpful. The food was incredibly fascinating and tasty. I think the guinea fowl was our favourite, but each dish was really enjoyable. The wine menu was comprehensive. The cocktails we had were gorgeous and delightful. They even prepared a special little desert because my wife and I were celebrating a job offer. This was a perfect meal and blew me away. We will be coming back!

We went to Kahani without much expectations, other than knowing it has a good reputation. Given the piece tag, it's always a risk as to whether it will be worth it. But from the second we arrived outside, and were greeted at the door, we were pleased. Having a pram with us, we were directed next door to the hotel's lift. ALL the staff were not only attentive but responsive and efficient. The process for bottomless brunch and each course was clearly explained. The portions were very generous and the quality of the food of a high standard. Value for money, can't recommend Kahani enough. Was just such a good experience.

We discovered this place after searching for a good but different Indian restaurant that we hadn't explored previously. The ambience was good. We were welcomed well and the service was friendly, attentive and thoughtful. The starter was different and nice, so was the dessert but we personally did not find the mains all that interesting. It might just be us, but the meaty dishes felt too rich and rice wanting a lot more love. All in all a decent experience. Credit cards accepted including American express.

We ordered the Bottomless Brunch and trust me you're gonna be full with the most delicious Indian food we ever tried in London yet... The desserts were impeccable and looked straight out of a Master Chef's kitchen.
Will be looking forward to go there again.

I've visited this place on December 2021, about 8:00 pm. It was packed, and very loud. We ordered, chicken, fish curry, rice, nan bread, cucumber & mint raita, and sambosa.
Nan bread was really good, so we made another order.
Also, they had 0.0% alcohol free beer which is really great.
The staff was very friendly and nice, the service is amazing.
I thought the food was good but not really great. The quantity of the food was little in comparison to it price.
The cleanliness of the food and place is 5/5.
Generally, I enjoyed being in this place.

Kahani

This place is a definite recommendation for all you steak lovers out there! 🥩

Food: N and I have discovered our favourite way for steak to be cooked, thanks to Zelman Meat’s delicious food! 🤤 Asking for medium left us with a perfectly juicy and tender steak, and we enjoyed every bite. We also ordered the Grilled Aubergine and Roasted Broccoli; definitely the yummiest veggies we’ve ever tasted! 👍🏽
Service: lovely service!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Zelman Meats Belgravia on Instagram

Went to @zelman_meats in Knightsbridge, 5th floor of Harvey Nichols where there's a good range of halal steaks available. I went with my food gang they got this platter of mixed steaks .

I just got 200g of the sliced Picanha at £7.50 per 100g. Despite it being the cheapest of the meat cuts available it was a popular vote amongst everyone I ate with that it was the best .

Initially, I orderd it medium rare but it arrived less than like warm so I sent it back. It came back off the Fire all chewy, you can't reheat steak after it's been cooked and rested and expect it to be good. So i asked for a new order and this time went for medium, which was a improvement and tasted better. The medium here is like a medium rare in most other places .

Good steak, I have to say I could event eat 100g of it, got a bit too meaty for me. Damn this diet I'm on I get an practically nothing! .

Steaks are halal. Alcohol served. We all paid for our food. #notainvite

@halalfoodguy's review of Zelman Meats Belgravia on Instagram

Zelman Meats

The staff were really nice and gave us a drink on the house!. Their food is very exquisite. Worth the price. Would visit again 1000/1000

I had an excellent dinner here. I was looking for halal steaks and this place certainly delivered. The service was exceptional, the menu was diverse yet simple, and the food was served fast. I will certainly be returning. (Needless to say, the ambiance is different from a regular restaurant as you are still inside Harvey Nichols which is essentially a department store chain. But these guys have done a good job with the space they have.)

Pricey but average. Burger was good. Steak wasn't good . Prawn tempura was amazing. Not really worth it considering the price. Cauliflower starter was okay - something different but not too tasty. Ambience nothing special either. I guess okay food for your average steakhouse, but not for these prices.

Love love love Zelman Meats. The Ribeye is absolute perfection. Been here a number of times and all I get is the ribeye. Plus they joined the eat out to help out scheme to I would highly recommend people to go there this month.

The apple crumble is also delicious. A big slice of pie and amazing. 

The reason for only 4 stars is that on a number of occasions on my visit, I ordered a mojito, and I was thoroughly disappointed with the proportion of drink to ice ratio (its 80% ice). For £7 that is absolutely not worth it. Although the drink does taste lovely, it's something they definitely need to improve on.

This is a cute little restaurant on the 5th floor of Harvey Nicks with one heck of a steak. Very decent wine selection and the sides were perfect accompaniments to the meal.

We do have Halal meats available depending on location. Zelman Meats Harvey Nichols has more range available.

Steaks made from 21-day, dry-aged Aberdeen Angus in fillet, T-bone, sirloin and ribeye cuts

The Steakhouse at Harrods

Food didn’t taste bad, but definitely not worth £100, specially for the service that was super slow. It took 5 minutes to get eye contact with the waitress to chase our entre bread and wines that we had been waiting for 15 minutes. The burger paddy was dried.

Best steak in London. A great option to get a fantastic meal. Mac and cheese, fries and any other sides are amazing

Amazing steak! Got the Wagyu sirloin and it was to die for. Cooked to perfection, melt in your mouth, succulent till the last bite. Hats off Harrods.

A quick trip to London this weekend brought us to Harrods Food Hall where we sat down to a delicious steak at the Harrods Steakhouse. This is our first visit to the Harrods food court and it was a great experience! We both ordered a 200 g fillet , I had the béarnaise sauce and my wife I had mushroom sauce, both steaks cooked a perfect medium rare with sides of mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and a nice salad. We enjoyed a glass of wine with our meal which was also very nice.  The whole experience was wonderful,  the ambience and food were all amazing, lots of history in this place and the food hall was full of people enjoying there Sunday afternoon .  The butcher was very helpful with the selection of our steak and the gentleman serving us was very friendly with great suggestions as to what we should do with our time in London, overall it was a great experience! Prices were a little bit steep but you always pay for quality!

Nice selection of cuts. However wagyu fillet I had was very tough. Sides were ok and staff were friendly. The wait was too long and combined with the price I paid, I wouldn’t say it deserves either the wait or the bill.

Simply styled restaurant serving large selection of Lebanese favourites from meze to grills.

Beiteddine Belgravia

The quality of food was good. Everything tastes fresh and homemade. The price is on average and the furniture is all right. The service was fine, just a bit of lack of ambient / positivity in the atmosphere. 
We had 5 starters, 2 mains, 2 bottles of sparkly water for ~70£. The portions were enough for 3 persons.

Not the ideal location for the business but food is still good.

Very nice food everytime I came and not so crowded. Hard to find decent Arabic restaurant in the area but luckily this is one of them. Recommend

I wasn’t delighted with services, food and prices they asking. Tables look good and appearance of restaurant isn’t bad but to competitive in the area to certain standards it will require a bit more tlc and proper fresh cooking. Especially when nearby competitors do really well and food is much tastier.

Popped in after visiting Harrods, it's very close by. The restaurant was very friendly and helpful, and the food great and good value. My niece was tired and tamtrummy, the waitress gave her a few baklava and it cheered/quietened her straight away! A big thumbs up from us all.
