Verdi - Italian Kitchen at the Royal Albert Hall - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, london)

Aari Lemmik The service was outstanding—our server Maruf was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. We had Pistachio Chicken Korma, Lamb Madras, Malwa Mango Chicken and Ajwaiji Salmon Tikka. While everything was presented nicely, the flavors felt a bit flat and the dishes didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the stellar service. Flavor is key in Indian cuisine, unfortunately it was missing this time. I’d return for the great hospitality and beautiful interiors, though I really hope the chef rediscovers their joy in cooking so the meals can improve and authentic rich Indian flavours will be re-introduced. Special thanks for the excellent espresso; it was a highlight of the dinner.

Giorgio Piscopiello First time trying Lebanese kitchen, quite amazed by the starters. The flavors were very well combined. We had 3 of them plus 2 mains. The portions were quite full, and the location very well decorated and full of colors. We were served by Ben, who took care of us properly and politely during the various steps of the lunch.

Wes Parker Delightful. I found this jewel using Google maps after leaving the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was a little confusing at first, as it was inside the Rembrandt Hotel. To add to the confusion, the actual restaurant was closed but the bar was open. I took my chances, and ordered fish and chips from the bar. The person who took my order was extremely friendly and I waited in a very comfortable chair at a small table. When the food came out, it was piping hot and looked marvelous. Looks were not deceiving. It was delicious. Whats more, the chef came out to see if everything was okay about 10 minutes after I was served. I am from the United States and my idea of fish and chips was what they serve at Captain Ds. In many ways, this was very similar. The battery was nice and crunchy and the fries were like steak fries, not potato wedges. The English peas were very tasty as well. I rounded out the meal with sticky toffee pudding.

Her Slow Journey What an absolute gem of a place. The food is fantastic, with simple, high-quality ingredients cooked beautifully. The restaurant is beautiful - I loved the aesthetic. It feels calm and welcoming without being pretentious. I had the chicken soup and dumplings. Both dishes were full of flavour and made with care.

Carina Jahn A couple of friends and I had dinner here and were very pleased. I had the chicken kafta, which I dont think Ive had before. It was very well seasoned and I loved the dipping sauces that came with it. We sat outside and the heat lamps were nice to keep us warm. Service was exceptional!

YM Queendy Lam Japanese food is authentic and delicious. Service is excellent and attentive. Decor and ambience are classy. Great to dine in this little restaurant after visiting nearby museums or Royal Albert Hall.
