The Carpenters Arms - (Near Hammersmith and Fulham, london)

shsgah sjabag My GOD this has to be some of the greatest lamb shanks I have ever tasted. I was searching for restaurants in Hammersmith today, and came here out of curiosity. The waiter greeted me enthusiastically and brought me downstairs, which was surprisingly chill and cozy, well-lit with large dangling lightbulbs and decorated with artificial greenery. The waiter asked me what food I would like and I confessed to him this was my first Somalian meal. He recommended me the Village Lamb Special, which I happily ordered. He then came back with two small plates of sauces coloured in green and red, explaining the sauces and their flavours. He told me to wait for a few minutes. The long-awaited dish finally came, along with a bowl of rice. The lamb was luxuriously yellowish and well-plated with the combination of salad. And it was SO tender—the meat literally fell off from the bone whenever I touched it with my spoon! Amazed, I asked the waiter, and he explained that the lamb had been marinated and soaked for over three hours. It merged perfectly with the sauces and rice, it was full of flavour without ever being over-eager. Great layout, great waiter, great food, reasonably priced for its exceptional quality, honestly a very delightful dining experience that should surpass a lot of Michelin restaurants.

caterina faraldo The restaurant is in a very convenient location, situated just off the main road in a quiet square, next to Hammersmith Station. When we walked in, the staff greeted us and we went to a table. The chairs were comfortable and the look of the restaurant was quite cool, yet relaxed and minimalist. After we ordered, the food and drink came fairly quickly. I ordered, for my drink, the Kiki Kaki, and is was incredible. It was tangy, mild, sweet and soft and made to perfection. Furthermore, it was in the most beautiful, intricate glass I have ever seen. The food was brilliant. The arancini were crisp and crunchy, with a stunningly good filling. The volcano shrimp was excellent and perfectly fiery. The beef kofta was devoured in seconds, it was so good. All of the six plates we ordered were absolutely amazing and brilliant. I am absolutely lost for words. The food came quite quickly, and even if it had taken an hour it would be worth it. I think this is a great restaurant and I would love to come here again.

Martina Buttò I went to Casa Felicia last weekend and it was honestly an amazing experience! The staff were incredible, so welcoming, kind, and genuinely friendly from the moment we walked in. A special thank you to Francesco and Gabriele: my boyfriend had asked if they could put a rose on the table, and they did it so beautifully. Such a thoughtful gesture that made the evening feel really special! The food was absolutely delicious: true Southern Italian cuisine, full of flavour and warmth. You can really tell that all the ingredients are carefully selected and imported directly from Italy. Everything tasted authentic and comforting, just like home. The atmosphere is lovely and cosy, perfect for a romantic dinner. I lived in London for 5 years, and this is by far the most authentic Italian restaurant I’ve tried, so I can for sure recommend it. We loved every moment and can’t wait to come back!

undabnachphoenix I can’t recommend this enough! Best fry up I had in ages and it’s only a tenner an comes with tea or coffee. It’s cash only but the staff ended up accepting my €uros as well. So no complaining from me.

Parul Goyal A wonderful brunch spot with a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious, well-presented food. The coffee was excellent and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to!
