Graham Parker This is such a fantastic place for really authentic dim sum. Bustling with people all the time, you normally have to wait for a table for a bit, but that is half of the experience. You order from a huge and diverse menu of loads of dim sum options, and there is also a seasonal dim sum and Chefs Specials which I recommend strongly. It is where you see real creativity from the kitchen. The food comes out as it is ready and you share everything, which makes it a very social eating experience. Be sure you order tea as well.

Belle Lognon We had an absolutely wonderful evening! The food was fabulous, very generous portions and delicious flavours. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend

Mari Harune Korean Kitchen at Bang Bang in Colindale is easily one of my go-to spots. I go there often, and it never disappoints. The jjajangmyeon is one of my favourites. Rich, savoury black bean sauce with perfectly cooked noodles, so comforting and full of flavour. Their kimbap is always fresh and neatly rolled, with a great balance of fillings in every bite. The bibimbap is another standout- colourful, generous portions, and packed with flavour once everything is mixed together with that delicious gochujang kick. I also love their japchae, which is beautifully seasoned with just the right sweetness and texture from the glass noodles. And to finish, the strawberry bingsoo is a must. It’s light, refreshing, and topped generously with sweet strawberries, the perfect dessert, especially after a hearty meal. The food is consistently good, portions are satisfying, and it’s a great place to eat at Bang Bang. Definitely recommend if you’re craving authentic, comforting Korean food in Colindale!

Rajan Vekaria 5**** Superrrr Duperrrr Bumperrr service. Very good range for no onion-no garlic options.

Faisal Abbas Great experience at Aladin in Hendon. The lamb nihari is signature dish — rich, slow-cooked, and full of authentic flavour. The chicken shinwari wasn’t great, but everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommend the til naan, which was outstanding, and the kheer to finish — simple and very well done. Friendly, welcoming staff and genuinely authentic food.

Bhavi R Warm welcome and a clean, cosy environment. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. One area for improvement would be ensuring chicken isn’t reheated or quickly stored away immediately after delivery, as this would help maintain the freshness and overall quality.
