Black Queen A Masterclass in Flavour and Heart — Rapchar is My New Favourite! Oh my days — this place has officially taken the number one spot on my foodie list, and trust me, I’ve been to a few. I started with the scallops and honestly? Absolutely exquisite. Perfectly cooked, bursting with flavour, and beautifully presented — everything on that plate earned its place. That’s the key here: so much freshness, so much flavour, and zero filler. For my main, I had fish with prawns, served with a cauliflower foam that completely blew me away. You could actually taste the cauliflower — light but still with body, and the flavour balance was spot-on. It was the kind of dish that manages to be both comforting and high-end dining at the same time — pure talent. The presentation across every plate was exceptional. You could tell real care had gone into every detail. The mac and cheese side was rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying — proper comfort food but refined. I didn’t even reach for the salt and pepper once (and that says a lot). I had sorrel to drink — rich, vibrant, and packed with flavour — the perfect pairing to cut through the richness of the dishes. I’ve never had sorrel like it (sorry, Mum). Unfortunately, I didn’t have room for dessert — tragic, I know — but that just gives me an excuse for next time. The service was exceptional — food arrived quickly, staff were polite and genuinely lovely, and the vibe was relaxed, friendly, and unpretentious. Even though the restaurant was full, the layout made it feel intimate, with a warm, family atmosphere. My only downside? When the chef came out to greet everyone, I did what any self-respecting foodie would do and offered him my hand in marriage. Sadly, he declined. I can only assume that i was at the back of a very long queue, because his food was slamming. Rapchar nails it: high-end food, comforting flavours, zero pretence, and genuine hospitality. I’ve already booked my next visit, because once is simply not enough! Well done, Rapchar — you’ve set the bar sky-high.

AKHIL RAJ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Authentic Kerala experience! The food was absolutely delicious — full of traditional Kerala flavors and perfectly spiced. The service was warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The ambience captured the essence of Kerala beautifully, with a calm and welcoming atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic South Indian cuisine!

Josh Hope Such a great restaurant . Tasty food and great prices you have to come here

Maria Gutierrez My favourite of all places to come and eat. You can’t get better than El Rancho de Lalo for great Colombian food. I have been here from the start and I can confirm that El Rancho de Lalo like good wine, just keeps getting better. You can’t get better than El Rancho de Lalo in LONDON! Service is top. The breakfast is the best and Empanadas the best in London. Lalo and the staff are always 100% on point. Take everyone you know at least once to El Rancho de Lalo, they will be forever grateful.

What you need to know! Overall: Food: Korean First of all ignore all reviews prior to June 2025 as this is when the current owners took over. A lovely independent, local Korean restaurant which is literally a hidden gem on a side road in Raynes Park and well worthy of a full five stars. Service is lovely, the food fantastic and really tasty. There are a lot of Korean restaurants in nearby New Malden so plenty of choices but this is a new firm favourite and one well definitely be going back to. What I liked: • Bibimbap • Grilled mackerel • Pajeon What I didn’t like: • N/A Do I recommend going? YES Will I go again? YES Was it good value? YES Price Point: $$

Eduardo Napoli I truly enjoyed my dinner in such a spectacular atmosphere surrounded by lovely people. Everything, from the food to the service, made the evening unforgettable. I’m sure I’ll be coming back many times to relive this wonderful experience again and again!
