Masons Arms - (Near Westminster, london)

S J One of my favourite restaurants in the area serving authentic Korean cuisine just a stone’s throw away from the NHG Tube station. A good place to pop in for some beer or soju after work since it’s right near the station. Their lunch specials are fantastic and a great value as well as an opportunity to dive into the cuisine. But their highlights are the Korean BBQ, my favourites are the pork belly and the Beef Sirloin as well as their Iberico selection. Super tasty kimchi and side dishes. The staff are efficient and with the convenience of the service bell it makes things easier to get the attention from the wait staff. The only downside is the lighting as it can feel a bit cavernous but in the colder months it’s a nice way to warm up fast.

Miguel Sandejas Finding this ramen spot tucked away in Notting Hill was one of the highlights of my trip to London. There was a short wait, as the store is ramen bar style, but turnover is efficient. Service was super quick, and the ramen was amazing! I had the Geki Kara (spicy version of their tonkotsu ramen) and it was so good. The broth is concentrated and delicious without being too thick - the ramen noodles were thin, supple and had a perfect amount of bite. The ramen egg was rich and gooey, the pork was lean and had good texture. Overall, it was an extremely well rounded bowl of ramen that was perfect for the brisk chilly day. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely come back the next time I visit London!

Ashley Goncalves Popped in on a Friday morning just outside Balham station. Quiet, plenty of seats at that time and quick service. Coffee was spot on and they do a loyalty card. Pastries were really good too. Worth a visit.

Ziyad Gazali Rice platter went over my expectation, their spicy sauce is spicy, chicken and lamb super delicious well seasoned, basmathi rice and all this for just under £8

Neil Armstrong Oh wow! What a lovely discovery. We were recommended Mumbai Avenue by some friends and we loved every moment in there. The front of house staff were lovely and explained about each dish as we questioned the intricacies of the menu. The menu, while not huge, was interesting and different. We ordered a number of dishes and found each of them to taste completely individual to the next. Were pretty sure theres no generic sauce/gravy used in this kitchen. Mumbai Avenue also doesnt charge for corkage which is refreshing in itself. As a group of friends we would normally gravitate to Nepalese restaurants but after our favourite Nepalese restaurant closed we have struggled to find a restaurant which seems to cook every dish individually, I think we have found a new restaurant, this time more south Indian, but one that puts beautifully fresh fragrant food on the table. If you wonder whether you should try it I would say yes and hopefully you will have discovered the gem that we have. Thank you Mumbai Avenue we will be back!

AT As someone with roots in Malaysia, who hasnt been back in almost 15 years, and who has been searching for Malaysian food wherever I am that unlocks my memories, I am happy to say that I finally found Gopals. From the roti to the laksa to the teh tarik, I feel the flavors of Malaysias legendary cuisine respected and showcased here. The staff are kind, attentive, and work with a fervor.
