Jake Tilson So glad to see Nandine open again on Vestry Road - best Kurdish food in town! Everything was absolutely delicious. We had: PAQLA Pan-seared tava beans in pomegranate molasses with chilli butter, paprika and mint SHEPHERDS SALAD Cucumber, tomato, parsley, red onion, pomegaranate and molasses AUBERGINE PLATTER Three way aubergine; Aubergine strip salad. Smoked baba ganoush Aubergine, chickpea, tomato qawarma. Served with zaatar flatbread LAMB SHANK QOZI Seared Lamb shank and the slow-cooked for 4 hours, with tomato, onion garlic, green pepper and potato. topped with fried rosemary, Only comment is that the small text for V, GF and prices on the menu is almost invisible! Might be my age.

Darren Such a warm homely feeling in this Pub. A Very comforting and relaxing atmosphere. The building is beautiful from the outside and inside the seating and furnishings are to a high standard. Food is on par and on a level you’d expect for the price. A lovely Pub and definitely recommended.

M. Held משולם איסר העלד Delicious yummy food

Tuisha Trehan Best natural wine bar! No notes

Julia Soldrzynski I owe this restaurant an apology. I was about to leave an angry review about my undelivered food when I discovered the real culprits: my phone carrier hasn’t been accepting calls (on top of the fact that my buzzer doesn’t work). The restaurant had actually been trying to reach me the whole time. They were incredibly gracious about the mix-up and even agreed to redeliver. (Although the delivery guy’s expression was a little grumpy but I would definitely be too in his shoes) I’m writing this review with more than a little embarrassment, but also genuine appreciation for their kindness. Now for the food—it’s very good! I’ve ordered twice now and have been happy both times. The portions are good for the price, and the quality is consistent so far. Their Onion Bhaji deserves special mention: it’s enormous and absolutely delicious. Even after delivery, it arrives surprisingly crispy. I can only imagine how spectacular it must be fresh from the kitchen.
