Babylon - (Near , london)

Dominique I recently had lunch at a restaurant that is well worth a visit! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with friendly and attentive service, which set a warm and inviting tone. The food was delicious from start to finish. The boquerones were delicately marinated and a real treat as a starter. The grated carrots with smoked ricotta were fresh and had a nice balance of flavors. The pollack was well-cooked, though the accompanying chanterelles were slightly overcooked for my taste. However, the dish was still flavorful and satisfying overall. To finish, the dessert was the highlight: a white chocolate mousse paired with rhubarb, which added just the right amount of tartness to balance the sweetness of the chocolate. I’d happily return for another visit!

Sam We were served by Tomos who was an absolutely outstanding host. My partner and I have been watching Will & Jack on the Fallow YouTube channel for a while now and as big foodies it was at the top of our places to visit. The atmosphere hits you as soon as you walk in, the staff are super friendly and welcoming and there’s a real buzz about the place. It’s classy but not pretentious, you feel welcomed and at ease straight away. We booked the Chef’s table and my God it didn’t disappoint. You’re at the front and centre of the kitchen and it’s absolutely incredible to see the pace and precision that the kitchen team work to. Tomos introduced himself and talked us through the food and drinks menus whilst offering some great suggestions. He was a genuinely nice guy who was super knowledgeable about the products and dishes, he helped us choose our order and explained how the dishes would arrive, we then sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere of the kitchen, mesmerised by the skill of the chefs in front of us. Shortly after our drinks arrived which was very quickly followed up by the first of our dishes. The stand-outs were easily the Mushroom Parfait which is an absolute flavour bomb, the Cod’s head which was a real experience, the burger which is up there with some of the best in London and also the Chelsea Tart which is just indulgently delicious. We couldn’t recommend this place enough and now have a very special memory of dining here, we will absolutely be back. Thank you Tomos for making it so memorable.

Louise Hicks A true hidden gem! Weve visited several Turkish restaurants across the country, and this one stands out as the absolute best. The food was absolutely delicious—beautifully presented, packed with flavour, and the portions were generous, making it excellent value for money. The staff were warm, attentive, and quick to notice when we needed anything, which is a big plus for me. In many places, you can struggle to catch a server’s eye, but not here—they were on the ball without being intrusive. 10/10 — we’d recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a fantastic dining experience. It’s just a shame we live in Cornwall, or this would definitely be a regular spot for us!

Elizabeth Jowett The Southern Belle was ideally located for my conference trip to Brighton. The rooms were lovely and the bar and food downstairs was excellent! Wendy looked after us so well in the bar, where local people enjoyed the relaxed and friendly ambience. Wednesday night was a special treat when quite a few musicians assembled to play their lovely folk music. It was excellent !

Kate Black Bought a smashing sausage roll from Whitstable shed and nice chap said his daughter was up at 5 baking so well done her

Bettina Jones We enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea. A delightful selection of sandwiches and cakes. Very generous helping of cream and strawberry jam accompanied warm scones both fruit and plain. We also enjoyed a delicious individual mini mousse made with chocolate and Baileys. An excellent large pot of tea, and we were offered more tea/ coffee if we wanted. We also enjoyed a very good glass of champagne which was an optional extra. Our waiter was friendly and welcoming, all served in a lovely setting.
