Citadel of Erbil Restaurant - (Near Lambeth, london)

Marc Schmidt A truly special little café, run by the kindest owner you could ever meet – Judy. She has such a big heart, a beautiful soul and creates a place that feels warm, welcoming and full of love. The food is excellent, the menu is thoughtful and well cooked, and the prices are honestly just right – great value for such quality. The atmosphere is lovely and calm, and the location and view make it feel like you’ve stepped into a cosy movie scene – honestly, it reminds me of You’ve Got Mail. What makes this place even more special is the people. Judy genuinely cares about her staff and her customers, and you can feel that this café is run like a family. It truly made me feel like I was part of the movie scene from You’ve Got Mail. I’m sure you will feel the same magic when you visit – you’ll experience the café, imagine the moments, and fall in love with the feeling just like I did. I absolutely love this café, Judy and her wonderful team. Visit – you won’t regret it. The food, the atmosphere and the prices are just right.

Krzysztof Gumowski Very friendly and helpful staff who make you feel welcome right away. The food is really very good, and the chicken is always fresh and perfectly prepared. There is a pleasant, warm atmosphere inside, ideal both for a quick meal and for spending some relaxed time. Thank you for a wonderful meal — I definitely recommend this place and will certainly come back.

B Grossi Don Luigi in Streatham Hill is one of those rare independent restaurants that genuinely deserves more recognition. Everything here is made with care, using high-quality ingredients, and it shows in the flavour of every dish. Maria runs the front of house and is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Her partner Alessio is the chef, and you can taste the passion and skill in his cooking. The food is consistently excellent. The zucchini fritte are a highlight. Light, crisp, and perfectly cooked. The pizzas are outstanding, with some of the best dough in London (coming from a fellow Italian). The G.O.A.T pizza is my favourite and is one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Drinks are also done properly. The Negronis are made exactly as they should be, well balanced and strong (in the best way). The pasta dishes are also worth mentioning. The pasta is freshly made and there’s real attention to detail in each recipe. Every dish has its own character and flavour, and nothing feels rushed or generic. It’s proper Italian cooking. Don Luigi is a hidden gem and exactly the kind of independent Italian place people should support. It’s a restaurant built on quality, passion, and proper hospitality, and it’s always a pleasure to eat there.

Big Coz My fiance and I are staying at the Crown London Hotel. Ill be writing a review soon on the hotel because we are still currently at the hotel. We have 2 more days until checkout. So tonight after a long day of having fun in London we decided to keep it simple and have dinner at the restaurant attached to our hotel. So for starters the place is clean. The atmosphere lighting with very subtle music was very relaxing. The 2 waiters who took care of us Karan and Derek was very professional and attentive! The food was really good. We had buffalo wings and calamari for appetizers. The main meal was a beef burger with fries for my fiance and a very delicious fried chicken burger for myself. I substituted my fries for very freshly cooked broccoli as a side. All in all this was a perfect choice to finish out the night and not have to do anymore traveling just to eat.

Steven Skratulja This place has been open for just over 3 weeks and it was great to see happy and helpful staff providing a great service, not to mention the fabulous tasty pizzas on offer. We loved our 3 course meal with calamari, pizzas and sorbet ice cream and tiramisu to finish off. The lemon sorbet cocktail is definitely one to recommend and the beers are beautiful. Well be back!
