SD O Love this place! I used to go their Edgware branch decades ago. Happy to see it in Hatchend. Even though its a beef restaurant and Ive turned vegetarian, its still a favourite. Their latkes and salads are so good! Very friendly, family owned and a good vibe overall.

Sanjay Kareer Been here twice now and have to say that the service is outstanding, the food is genuinely fantastic and authentic. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to others. I would say some ambient music would make this place perfect! Happy customers.

Ram Tharshi Celebrated a close friend’s birthday at Virundhu, and what an unforgettable evening it turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely exceptional. The team went above and beyond to make our private dining experience seamless and special. A particular mention has to go to one incredibly helpful staff member who was so accommodating with all the surprise arrangements. Nothing was too much trouble — he even jumped in to help us blow up balloons for the decorations! That level of care and genuine enthusiasm truly set the tone for the night. The private dining space itself was stunning. The ambient lighting created such a warm and elegant atmosphere, and having full use of the screen, sound system, and comfortable booth seating made the celebration feel both intimate and lively at the same time. It was the perfect setting for a birthday surprise. Now, the food — simply beautiful. Every dish was full of flavour and presented with such care. You could really taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. A lovely touch was the children’s meals being served on traditional banana leaves — it looked so vibrant and visually appealing, and it added to the whole cultural experience. A heartfelt thank you to Sam, the hardworking chef behind the scenes, and the entire team at Virundhu for making the evening so memorable. Your dedication, warmth, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It was truly a fantastic experience, and we can’t wait to return!

SS I’ve been here twice. The first time, I got the brisket sando with duke chips which was very yummy. The second time, I got the smash burger with the mac n cheese, which was yummy too! My family had the smoked brisket and the lamb neck. I tasted those too and they were delicious. The food looked exactly like what was shown on the menu and the portion sizes were generous! Sharon was lovely and very attentive and provided excellent customer service.

Edmund Christie Food was absolutely great, really tasty. The staff were really helpful and attentive. The decor was authentic to the theme of the restaurant. They really helped towards any food allergies. I would definitely come back again to eat from here.

Fezan Khan One of my friends told me about this new restaurant and highly recommended it, so I thought I would give it a try, and it did not disappoint! I tried the smash burger, lamb chops and the divine lamb ribs, which were oozing with juices and bursting with flavour. The smash burger is unique, in that it is crispy, and has a very distinct texture. The chops were very tender and well-seasoned. But the star of the show were the lamb ribs. The owner was so nice to let me see how he prepares them and he even let me choose my rack and cut it to my preference. The mocktail was also very refreshing and complimented the meal. The team is very friendly and professional, and the bill was very, very reasonable. The owner is a pure gentleman and I was very pleased to know that he uses HMC lamb and beef products, sourced from Yorkshire Halal. This place is a must try!
