Oriental Garden - (Near , london)

Kit Reeve This is my favourite restaurant in Brockley! The food is delicious, reasonable and changes with each season. It’s all naturally gluten free which is great for my coeliac friend. The staff are lovely and attentive and I highly recommend you try the Sorrel cocktail and chocolate truffles for dessert!

Stephen Sherman Wow wow wow! We are very particular about our food but Home SW13 blew us away! From the moment we walked in Alan the Manager and Lottie our lovely server were straight on it! A lovely cocktail to get things going and then a warm up with the cauliflower cheese croquettes. To die for! We then shared the mussels - a great choice and just the right level of chilli hit in a fragrant coconut broth with hints of lemon grass. And then the Main Event. That Shrimp Burger and the Pork Belly - which was the best I’ve ever tasted - crispy, salty and tender, accompanied by creamy mash, spinach and a jus that was spot on. And to top it all off we shared a complimentary cheesecake that was very kindly decorated with best wishes to the birthday girl. A very varied wine list helped wash things down! A hidden gem in the heart of Barnes. We will be back!

Antonio T Every dish at Ostuni was a delight from start to finish. We tried a variety of plates — the pasta ravioli was beautifully balanced and full of authentic flavour, and the seabream, served with delicate potato crisps, was simply outstanding: perfectly cooked, fresh, and bursting with Mediterranean character. The smaller dishes were just as memorable — the tender pork pieces were melt-in-your-mouth soft, the aubergine layer lasagna was rich, flavourful, and incredibly tasty, and the bread was fantastic. The tomato-topped bread was wonderfully fresh, and the one with stracciatella and Italian dried red pepper was vibrant and full of flavour. For dessert, we had a ricotta cake with a hazelnut base — light and refined, and paired perfectly with a shot of pistachello, a delicious pistachio liqueur. The chef’s talent truly shines in every dish, and the staff were friendly and attentive. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Italian food done with care and creativity. Highly recommended!

Shahzad Choudhry One of the best lamb tikka dishes I’ve had in Southall! I tried it at Afghani Restaurant and was really impressed. The place is clean, welcoming, and has a friendly atmosphere. The staff were very polite and helpful. I highly recommend trying their lamb tikka – it’s incredibly delicious and unique!

Dahal enn great experience

Maxim edwards I had an amazing lunch at Design Restaurant by Social Pantry and can’t recommend it enough. I went for the Beef Shin Ragu with Parmesan Polenta and Cavolo Nero, along with a side of Seasonal Greens, and it was absolutely outstanding. The flavours were rich and comforting, beautifully balanced, and plated with real care — one of the best lunches I’ve had recently. The service was just as impressive. The two girls working front‑of‑house were fantastic, warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive throughout the meal. They created such a relaxed atmosphere and made the whole experience feel special.
