Thomas Phillips Amazing food! British duck wrap was like a Sunday roast on a wrap- generous with the meat too! The guy who served us was great fun too- top man!

Hazel Jones The food here is absolutely delicious. I had Lamb Beyti and, despite it being a big plateful, I polished off the lot. Perfect. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and very comfortable. The young woman who served us was very nice and very efficient. I would really recommend this restaurant. Its location by Brentford Lock with a deck outside would make it a lovely place in the summer.

Tuvana Everything was amazing. The food was delicious and fresh. But most importantly, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming with their genuine smiles. Even though we arrived 15 minutes earlier than our reservation, they kindly seated us at a wonderful table without any problem. I’m sure that even on a busy day or at a busy time, they would still do their best to accommodate us. Thank you very much to everyone, and especially to the gentleman who welcomed us at the door. ♥️♥️

Nara Lam Popped into Old Town 97 in Brentford for a meal and it was a solid experience. The drinks were a great start, the Iced Yuan Yang was very authentic, and the Iced Lemon Tea was refreshing with a lovely citrus fragrance. For the mains, we tried the famous LSE Fried Rice. It’s egg fried rice topped with a smooth egg gravy and black pepper chicken chop; it had great "wok hei" and was very satisfying. We also had the Three Meat Roast Combo (roast duck, char siu, and roast pork), which was decent and met expectations, would say the roast pork was slightly fatty. The Salt and Pepper Squid was a real highlight, perfectly seasoned and very tasty. Squid just perfect, not too chewy. We finished with some dim sum: the Chive Dumplings and Steamed Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce, both were well made and consistent. Reliable spot for comforting Cantonese food. Will be back!

KAIWEN DONG I came to Noci just to give it a try and it completely surprised me in the best way. The bread was amazing and the pasta was absolutely delicious. The service was also very friendly and welcoming. The lunch meal deal is great value and the time window for it is quite long, which makes it really convenient. Overall it was a fantastic experience and definitely worth visiting. I would happily come back again.

Raymond Li Had a great meal at Pavilion Terrace Restaurant in London. The burger was definitely the highlight — juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The ingredients tasted fresh and the bun held everything together nicely without getting soggy. The terrace setting also made it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy the meal. It was a very enjoyable experience. I’d happily come back for that burger again!
