Manis - (Near Camden, london)

Aaron Horn This is a hidden gem of an authentic Japanese restaurant nestled in the heart of Hampstead. The restaurant itself is quite small like many of the shops in Hampstead, but they have done an amazing job to make it an original feeling high and star Japanese barbecue restaurant. They offer a full menu, including sushi, sashimi grilled skewers, main courses, starters, and Saki. The flavours were authentic. The food was high-quality and the service was outstanding honestly I can’t fault it even though they’re very busy. We managed to grab a table downstairs last minute. I had the grilled mackerel and onion skewers which were amazing. It is not cheap but it is fairly priced especially for authentic Japanese food. This is definitely a highly recommended restaurant for Me. It’s probably one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area , honestly it’s a great spot well worth going.

Ester Lo Verso A special thanks to Azaz, who took care of us during our dinner. The staff and atmosphere were amazing. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Mrs Mcellan Headed in for a quick late lunch and really loved the food. However I feel compelled to write this review as the service wasn’t great at all. It seemed they did not care much about my visit or explaining the menu to me, even after I mentioned I had never visited before and was confused about the ordering/payment process. No recommendations, no words exchanged when serving/leaving, not even a ‘Enjoy’ or ‘Thank you’. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it seemed like a really hostile and cold environment. I hoovered up my food in 10 minutes and left, asking my leftovers to simply be wrapped up. I suppose + points for fast food so I could leave quicker :( I have had friendlier service getting McDonald’s Drive Thru so I really expected more for a ‘Restaurant’ experience.

Graham S I was hesitant to book having read a number of reviews highlighting indifferent service however I can only report positively. Service was friendly and attentive and the food in terms of both quality and quantity was top notch. We especially enjoyed the Mac n cheese croquettes and the generous and excellently presented tuna poke bowl. The interior decor and ambience was pleasant and relaxed . A rarity for us in NW3 these days (when so many eateries are either overpriced, serve mediocre food, or offer poor service… ) but a venue we would definitely go back to !

Nick Best pizza Ive had in London for a very long time. Pizza chef is very passionate about the craft, passion that shines through to the beautiful dough with that perfect blend of chewy/crispiness. I collected from the shop, everything looked lovely and fresh, the staff were warm and friendly. Had a drink whilst I waited, restaurant was clean and cosy. Wont go anywhere else for now pizza if Im in North London, unbeatable.

Riccardo Fusero One of the best burgers I ever had. Not the “traditional” pub experience you may look for in Hampstead but if you are more than 4-5 people is hard to find a table in the other pubs. They saved our night with kindness, hospitality even in a large group without reservation and terrific cousin. I’ll surely be back next time I’m in UK.
