Alessandro Marrarosa One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. The food was excellent, well prepared, and served in a very pleasant atmosphere. What truly made the experience stand out, however, was the outstanding service. Ripon and Ansar were attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, striking the perfect balance between efficiency and friendliness. Their care and attention to detail made the morning even more enjoyable. Highly recommended — I will definitely be back.

Patrick This was my first time trying Burmese food. Very highly recommend going to this restaurant. Burmese food, to me, is much more similar to Thai food than I thought. As Thai, I’m very familiar with the Thai cuisine, and many of the flavours of Burmese cuisine reminded me of it. There are certain types of meats and curries that are clearly influenced by India/Nepal, making this a very interesting cuisine. I most recommend the mutton curry - by far the best dish I’ve had, and I’ve tried a few dishes at this place. The second meal I would recommend is the Mohinga, which is a national dish and similar to a Malaysian Laksa + Vietnamese vermicelli noodles. Food gets delivered super quick ~5-10 minutes. Staff are very friendly.

Eletta Mamma mia! Da Mario made me feel like I’d stepped straight into Italy. The staff and cooks are authentically Italian, and their warmth and charm set the tone for a meal that was pure magic. The lasagna was layered bliss. The chicken; cutlet style, crisp and tender, was comfort incarnate. The arrabbiata had a creamy but fiery kiss, and the espresso? Bold, velvety, and soul-awakening. Each dish was a food orgasm in its own right. Even the bathroom cleanliness was next level; every detail cared for with pride. Friendly, passionate, and deliciously divine, Da Mario didn’t just feed me; it transported me. I’ll be dreaming of it for days. Complimenti a tutti!

Ian Tunhain My go to cafe when I go to the West End. No thrills, but lovely and clean, and does exactly what it says on the tin. Lovely tea, and food is always fresh and clean and well presented. Service is good, staff are helpful and attentive and run this place very well. after i get off the train at Charing Cross, I love to stop here and sit with a cup of tea or 2 and a bite to eat, and watch the world go by just off Trafalgar Square, before I venture further in to town. If youre after a trendy fancy cafe, this is not the place for you. If youre after a clean cafe with prompt service and clean food, then defiantly stop here. A1

Andy Ikoyi has such a distinguished reputation it can only really disappoint. Im pleased to say it didnt. Ours was a menu of delicious little taste bombs with one slightly more substantial dish featuring their smoked jollof (dont get excited Ghanians, its not real jollof but it is delicious anyway). As hoped, the food was the star of the show and each course really did impress with the flavours, textures and presentation. I found the desserts werent as good as the starters and mains but thats probably more to do with my palate preferences than anything else. From reviews Id read I was expecting an African themed menu which isnt really the case, its more of a fusion menu with inspiration from all over (including the golden continent). The restaurant itself is a wonderfully designed space with exceptional ambience, it had atmosphere and moody charm without too much buzz or pretentiousness which is hard to achieve. The staff were also great; professional, warm and attentive without being over the top. It is madly expensive but if fine dining is your thing, its money well spent.

Alessandra Scotti We had a wonderful experience at Vasinikò. Despite it being a busy Saturday evening and us arriving without a booking, they still managed to find us a table straight away. I mentioned that I was feeling a bit cold, and they immediately adjusted the air-conditioning so it wouldn’t blow directly on me — such thoughtful service. I ordered a gluten‑free Margherita and it was absolutely outstanding. The tomato sauce was excellent quality: sweet, rich, and full of flavour. The pizza base was honestly the best gluten‑free one I’ve ever had — soft, elastic, light, and not heavy at all. You could really taste the quality of the extra virgin olive oil, and the fresh basil on top made it perfect. The service throughout the evening was courteous, quick, and genuinely caring. Our waiter checked on us often and made sure we were comfortable and happy. Overall, it was a really lovely experience. I would definitely recommend Vasinikò, especially if you need or prefer gluten‑free options.
