Faraya Restaurant - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, South East)

Daniel Gee Walked by, and stopped thanks to the beautiful display of colourful paninis and sandwiches. Very glad to have stopped. Kind, efficient service. Decent coffee. And the sandwiches and paninis tasted as good as they looked. Must better than the generic high street brands.

Jill Hoppi We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, comfortable, and well organized. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained, making it easy to relax and feel at home. What truly stood out, however, was the breakfast. It was absolutely exceptional — without a doubt one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever experienced. The selection was incredibly varied, with fresh fruits, high-quality pastries, delicious hot dishes, freshly baked bread, and excellent coffee. Everything was beautifully presented and constantly replenished. You could really taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. A very special mention goes to Cecilia, who made our breakfast experience even more memorable. Her service was outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. She greeted every guest with a smile, made sure everything was perfect, and created such a pleasant atmosphere in the morning. Her professionalism and kindness truly made a difference and started each day on the best possible note. Thank you for such a fantastic stay. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Ian Lawrence This is an excellent place for a meal before an event at the Royal Albert Hall. We arrived at 5.15pm and the efficient service meant we had finished including coffee by 7pm. The exit from the restaurant is convenient for the event. The fixed price menu provided plenty of options across either two or three courses. The attentive service by Zin was welcomed. This was an excellent time that did not seem rushed.

Taha Khambaty Went here because it looked nice and was reasonably priced. We went in without a booking and found a table for 2 within 10 mins. The seating is in a more traditional Japanese way with some room for your legs. There is also a table for anyone who might not be able to use the other seating although I am not sure if there is enough room for a wheelchair to get through. We both ordered the spicy beef ramen which came reasonably quickly. The portion size was really good and very filling. The best part, however, was definitely the broth. This is exactly the type of broth that fills your soul and makes your feel warm inside. The beef was also really good, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. By only small issue would be that the waitress felt a bit too eager to fill my water but other than that the service was excellent.

Umam Aamir Came here for lunch and enjoyed every second of their food. Amazing staff very helpful and efficient. Will come again.

Cheryl Lim Patterson Absolutely loved this restaurant. Staff were engaging and friendly. Food was served pretty fast and hot! All the dishes we ordered tasted amazing! Not salty, just natural flavours from various spices. We were very impressed and would love to come back when we visit London again.
