BC Thai Restaurant - (Near , london)

Lloyd Stevens Da Vinci’s It’s been six years since Craig took over the reins at Da Vinci’s in my hometown of Hornchurch and during this time he along with his wife have turned it back into a great family restaurant it once was. You will find the restaurant in the heart of town at the beginning of station lane. The food is Italian with all your favourite dishes including pizza , pasta , mains , fish , desserts and regular specials. We’ve been visiting Da Vinci’s consistently over his time in charge and are never disappointed with the food and the service. It’s a fabulous local restaurant and the prices on the menu reflect that which is why it’s not hard to see that they have so many local regulars. Da Vinci’s also hosts singers on Friday evening’s and themed music Saturday brunches to once again bring the community together. Craig is by himself in the kitchen but has an assistant on those many busy times. The front of house is led by Giovanni who couldn’t be more friendly and welcomes you with open arms. If anyone ever asks me for a restaurant recommendation I will always mention Da Vinci’s and the feedback I receive is nothing but positive. In the last five years restaurants have come and gone yet this fabulous Italian restaurant goes from strength to strength. Even during Covid he helped the local area by supplying pasta and pizza. You could also collect or have delivered food during those times. Da Vinci’s is not only a credit to Hornchurch but to the Essex dining scene itself. So yes I would highly recommend a visit and I for one will definitely keep on giving my support in the future. Our latest visit was on Saturday to celebrate our anniversary and Craig and Giovanni did not let us down. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch including the amazing dishes on the specials board all washed down with a lovely Sauvignon from the Anno Domini Vineyard. STARTER - Here we chose the Calamari and from the specials a Burrata with a tomato and orange salad. MAINS - My wife chose her favourite dish the Linguine Vongole while I loved the fabulous Mahi Mahi with spinach , creamy mash and a sun-dried tomato sauce that was absolutely delicious. DESSERT - After we enjoyed the Tiramisu and the Torte Della Nonna Craig kindly sent us the dessert from the specials a Carpaccio of Pineapple , lime and chilli syrup with a orange sorbet to perfectly end an amazing anniversary lunch. Thank You Craig and Giovanni for a fabulous way to celebrate our anniversary and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sapna Saxena One of the best place to have proper Punjabi food. They are famous for their stuffed Kulchas which are served Chole, raita and salad. We also ordered Chicken Tikka and butter chicken with garlic naan which was just amazing. Apt on flavours and great portion size. Service is quick and fresh food is served which is piping hot. Keema Kulcha is proper mutton keema which has smoky spicy flavours. Goes so well with Raita and Chana masala. Achar and salad served make it extra rich in flavours. They also give a dollop of butter which is must for a proper Punjabi stuffed parantha or Kulcha. If you are in London and craving for fresh authentic Punjabi food, don’t look anywhere else just check for Kulcha Express.

Alfie Clarke Roland was an excellent waiter here - super polite and helpful. He helped us navigate the PE app very well. Very lovely man - helped us also with getting some money off our bill! Food arrived to our table quicker than we thought at an amazing standard. 10/10 for the pizza and starters.

BornLate56 Ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken, which came with boiled rice. The dish was tasty and fresh, and piping hot! Service was quick and the young lady behind the counter was friendly. Generous portion,

Ryan Stanikk Just after I took this photo, the place filled up! This is a truly fantastic location for rice and noodle based dishes, made authentically. Ive always said that you can tell when international cuisine is being done right, if people from that culture frequently dine there, and Mi Rice is a perfect example of that. They are very happy to modify the meal I order, as Im on a specific diet, and its always served beautifully and with so much flavour. Despite being here for quite a long time, it probably still counts as a hidden gem in Southampton, but its truly a must-eat place!
