El Alquimista - (Near , london)

Tharunreddy .Kunduru I had a great experience at Biryani Lounge! The food was absolutely delicious — especially the biryani. You can really taste the spices and flavors in every bite. The portions were generous, and everything came out fresh and hot. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the place felt clean and comfortable. It’s a great spot whether you’re eating in or grabbing takeout. If you’re a fan of Indian food (or just love good food in general), this place is definitely worth trying.

Maria Best Indian food I’ve had. We have been going my whole life and my parents before I was born! The Mango chutney is incredible! Lovely staff always so friendly and accommodating for any needs.

Alex Vidic Ive been eyeing this place up for years and finally found a reason to come, and it did not disappoint. The Uyghur-style Laghman - stir-fried beef, peppers, onions and green beans in a tomato-ey, meaty broth, over fresh noodles - was excellent. The Somsa - I got the smaller oven-baked one - was clearly rolled with homemade dough, and inside was juicy spiced mincemeat and onion. Very tasty - not like UK pastries at all. The achichuk (a thinly-sliced tomato, onion and cucumber side salad) was fine - its hard to get good tomatoes in February in London, Ill admit, but they were a little grainy. I wont dock points for that. The salty tomato sauce was great. Ill have to come back for the kampot (homemade fruit juice), which they were out of, but they had Salaam cola, which is always nice to support. As for the vibe - I love a place with a few menu classics they know by heart, and the clientele seems to be all local - lots of Uzbek and Russian being spoken. Service was efficient and polite - especially recommendations. I will have to come back with friends to try their soups, dumplings and grilled meats. Its a sharing kind of restaurant - get a big pot of tea and chat over this delicious food. Portions are well worth the price, too. Will be back.

Lee Bissenden This place is amazing the food is amazing will be going back and telling friends

Jorge Luis Calvano Lora Wonderful place… the food is amazing, delicious, just like in our country (I am from Colombia and my wife is from Venezuela), the price are very reasonable. Sonia was very kind with us. Highly recommended this place and will be back soon.

hare super Stopped by CORD on Fleet Street for a weekday lunch and honestly didn’t expect it to be this busy — or this good. I always assumed people around here would just grab a quick sandwich, but the dining room was full of City workers actually taking their time and enjoying a proper meal. The space is beautifully designed. You walk in through a casual café area, then further inside it opens up into a calm, elegant dining room. The open kitchen is a great touch — you can see everything happening, which makes the whole experience feel very transparent and relaxed. Food-wise, everything we ordered was spot on. The A5 Wagyu and bluefin tuna starters were delicate and full of flavour. For mains, the BBQ monkfish was perfectly cooked and the Highland venison en croûte was rich and comforting without being heavy. The peanut soufflé to finish was light, warm and absolutely worth the wait. It’s rare to find a restaurant of this level right in the middle of the City. If you work nearby and want to slow down for once — whether for a long lunch, a business meal or a quiet date — CORD is well worth a visit.
