The Choice Lounge - (Near Brent, london)

patrick jacobs It’s always nice to see a new eatery opening in your neighbourhood, today was one of those days, as I stepped out of Willesden Green underground station. I noticed a shiny new place to eat and a fantastic place to take friends as they come out of the station, literally as you come out just look left and there it is. The great thing about this place is that it has a breakfast menu, so you can get up early and have breakfast before jumping on the tube. Loads of seating inside and a few seats outside. It’s beautifully decorated and has that lovely new feel. On this occasion I did not eat as I was just coming back from a late lunch, but i had a coffee, and the coffee was nice. They really made an effort to make this place look beautiful and it worked. I attached the menu to the photographs so you can see what they have to offer. So the plus’s are the location, directly opposite the tube station and also the buss stop, 266 from Brent Cross and the 406. Not far from a local Sainsbury’s and also a pharmacy and other nice little shops not too far away, on street parking at metered bays is available. The staff were of course very nice and welcoming, but you would expect that from a new place right? The bottom line is it’s a welcomed new addition to the area and I will update this review as soon as I have some food so the images show the outside and the inside and my cup of coffee. So the rating for food is based on my cup of coffee. Let me know what you think when you visit.

Ali Abdimalik (Malik) A great authentic thai spot. The Thai Green Curry and Creamy red curry some of the best thai currys I have had

Kat Really enjoyed the meal at the Reindeer cafe! They offer traditional canto style dishes at a very high standard. The charsiu was perfectly cooked with a good balance of fattiness and lean meat, with a subtle hint of sweetness from the honey. The roast duck was really tender and flavourful as well. The garlic choi sum was simple but delicious — well seasoned, not stiff or overcooked at all, and you can really taste the wok hei. Our highlight of the meal was the lamb hotpot, it was so tasty and the lamb literally just slides off the bone!! The portion size was generous so I’m glad that we brought some Tupperwares with us, wouldn’t want to waste any of this delicious food!! There’s a bakery in the cafe as well — we’ve particularly enjoyed the coconut peanut 糯米糍(mochi) and the egg tart. And oh! Don’t forget the milk tea too, which was made to perfection and perhaps even better than some of the 茶餐廳 I’ve been to in HK. Will definitely come back again for another meal!!

Gio Saponaro Its really a little gem in Cricklewood. Very nice atmosphere, very professional, polite and friendly staff. The service is outstanding and the meals they prepare are very delicious.....the best chips in Londons pub I have enjoyed so far. Absolutely Highly recommended.

Ana Castro Fedosova Amazing food, nice music and very nice owner. We had the mixed platter for 2 and it was sooo good, we try a bit of everything in the menu and you can actually choose some of the toppings. The injera was so nice and soft. The owner explained us that they bring it from Ethiopia, so it’s so authentic! The meat was perfectly cooked and the flavors were amazing ! We had coffee after food, and it was perfectly roasted, not too bitter and served in the traditional pot ! The owner was so nice and even explained us about Ethiopian culture ! Very nice, will definitely go back and recommend to friends !

Sal Taste of Fish is one of my favourite seafood spots. The fried and grilled options are both excellent, with generous portion sizes and great value for money especially the big family platters. I really like that they also offer boneless options. My personal favourites are the grilled prawns and the fried sea bass, both full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Definitely my go-to fish place and highly recommended for a visit
