Gokyuzu Restaurant Park Royal - (Near Camden, london)

Caitlin Alexander We stayed here for 2 hours having an amazing lunch as it rained outside. Outstanding food, we had the scotch egg, fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding. On the expensive side but for us on holiday from Australia it was a perfect modern British gastro pub experience.

Mohammed Chowdury Visited Chai Spot in Acton regularly, and it’s genuinely one of the more popular local chai cafés in the area. To my knowledge it’s not a chain, which gives it a more independent feel compared to larger branded chai spots. The space has a modern, stylish, trendy design and the menu is updated seasonally, which keeps things fresh. It’s clearly a favourite with locals and often gets busy, particularly with professionals and students working on laptops. On a few occasions I’ve been asked to make space when seated alone at a larger table, which felt reasonable given how popular it is. There are plug sockets available, which is helpful for working, though they’re positioned quite low and can be a bit awkward to access. More conveniently placed sockets would improve the experience, especially given how many people use the space to work. The ambience is great, with good music choices enough that I’ve Shazamed a few tracks. Staff are friendly and welcoming and there’s a relaxed, community feel. The food menu is decent with reasonable pricing compared to similar cafés, and the place is halal certified. Customer toilets are available, accessible and clean. There’s also outdoor seating, they occasionally have board games like Connect 4, which adds a nice touch, although these aren’t always available. The only reason for the 3-star rating is the current Food Standards Agency (FSA) hygiene rating of 1, which may come as a surprise based on the customer-facing experience. Hopefully this is an area being actively addressed ahead of future inspections, as everything else from atmosphere and staff to food and design is firmly on the plus side to a potential 5 star. Overall, a good local chai spot in Acton with a strong following and great vibe, held back solely by hygiene concerns at the time of review.
