The Barbary - (Near Westminster, london)

Sarah Oren Brasky Puchita was a lovely help after a long touristy morning, when I needed a reprieve for my hungry cranky kid. We left happy, satiated, and relaxed. I had the vegetarian Med Toast— delicious! Kids menu fish n chips was just right, too. Great little quiet find!!

Andy Ikoyi has such a distinguished reputation it can only really disappoint. Im pleased to say it didnt. Ours was a menu of delicious little taste bombs with one slightly more substantial dish featuring their smoked jollof (dont get excited Ghanians, its not real jollof but it is delicious anyway). As hoped, the food was the star of the show and each course really did impress with the flavours, textures and presentation. I found the desserts werent as good as the starters and mains but thats probably more to do with my palate preferences than anything else. From reviews Id read I was expecting an African themed menu which isnt really the case, its more of a fusion menu with inspiration from all over (including the golden continent). The restaurant itself is a wonderfully designed space with exceptional ambience, it had atmosphere and moody charm without too much buzz or pretentiousness which is hard to achieve. The staff were also great; professional, warm and attentive without being over the top. It is madly expensive but if fine dining is your thing, its money well spent.

Tim Danton Ive just spent a fantastic evening here. Fantastic food from start to finish, excellent service and the atmosphere down in the basement was a lot of fun -almost like being at a party as it was so relaxed. We skipped the starters and dived straight into the main course - perfectly cooked pasta, tasty sauces, great presentation. The wine was top quality and excellent value, but it was the desserts that made the evening. Congratulations to everyone involved. We had to wait 30 minutes for a place at the bar, but it was so worth it.

Adi Harneja We had a fantastic visit to Din Tai Fung in Covent Garden. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and every dish we ordered was delicious. The hot and sour chili soup was a standout. It was hot, comforting, and even better when paired with their signature spicy sauce. The crispy chicken and vegetable wontons were perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, and we also loved the vegetable jiao zi, chicken dumplings, and chicken gyoza. The string beans with garlic were incredibly tasty as well. We finished our meal with the chocolate mochi and sea salt caramel dessert, the perfect sweet ending. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a lovely dining experience!

Tuxedo Mask One of the best experiences Ive had in London dinning. We were seated quickly despite the crowd and the busy environment. Free popcorn of course and the food arrived within minutes of ordering which was perfect, no long waits. The steak was beautiful and so flavourful. We ordered sides as well and it complimented the steak really well. I would highly recommend ordering the mashed potatoes, honestly one of the best Ive had in a restaurant. The drinks were amazing and overall I was really happy and impressed. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were very attentive to us. And of course, free ice cream at the end. 100% recommend Flat Iron

Tony Mccarthy Just had a fantastic New Years Eve 4 course meal here. Every single course was fantastic. My partner and Father thought the same. The ceviche was delicuous, as was the carpaccio. The prawns were knockout, and the calamari was also a delight. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the seabass was also spot on. Both desserts were also magnificent. Ibrahim, Mathues and Lisa provided 10/10 service. The manager (whose name we didnt get) was also very accommodating getting us a table for drinks in the bar, given it is New Years Eve and very busy, we definitely appreciate that. 100% recommend and would definitely come back.
