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.

Manu Mathew Enjoyed a proper chicken doner here. Really good and authentic flavour. Portions are good and served with salad and toasty bread on the side. Proper filling and satisfying meal. The service is great from the lady serving us at the resturant.

Petra Mayne The overall experience was 10 out of 10. From the moment we entered, the staff were super attentive, friendly and welcoming. Also very accommodating in our choice of seating. The menu offers lovely food. The iconic classic dough balls are not to be missed, but there is a variety of flavours to choose from to please any taste buds. Our pizzas were delicious, no wait between the starters and the main course and all served with a big smile. Will definitely visit again.

Kay A great place to either eat or grab on the go, very competitively priced. They have seating indoors to seat between 5-10 people but I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s too congested. Staff are also very friendly:). Highly recommend it.

Kiran Nisar Absolutely outstanding – Megan made the night unforgettable This was my third time coming to The Griffin at Kingston, and somehow it just keeps getting better. I brought my friend here for his birthday and it was honestly incredible from start to finish. Megan was absolutely wonderful — so sweet, attentive, and genuinely kind. The service was perfect and made the whole evening feel special and relaxed. You can really tell when someone cares, and Megan truly does. Now the food… WOW. The vegan options here are out of this world. We had the mushroom kebab and the Christmas kebab, and both were spectacular — deeply flavourful, perfectly cooked, and honestly some of the best vegan food I’ve had anywhere. Just absolutely delicious. And the cake! The raspberry vegan cake was unreal. Even my friend, who isn’t vegan, absolutely loved it — which says everything. He was genuinely blown away by how good everything was. The atmosphere, the service, the food — everything was spot on. This place is a total gem, and I’ll be coming back again and again. Huge thank you to Megan and the whole team for such a memorable night. Highly, highly recommend.

Judy Tseng We had an excellent Indian meal here. Four of us dined for under £35, which was fantastic value. The menu is extensive, with choices like burgers, pizza, and stir-fried noodles, so we didn’t expect the Indian dishes to be this good. But everything we ordered was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and genuinely authentic. The restaurant is small, but the food is clearly prepared with care. We had the grilled chicken, chicken biryani, and lamb curry—all of them were delicious. Highly recommended!
