La Casa Restaurant & Grill - (Near , london)

Ilke Kartal We popped into Tun Tun’s on Monday for their free student curry and I’m officially hooked. The staff were so friendly – the moment we walked in they greeted us with big smiles and asked whether we’d like veg, vegan, or meat. I went for the chicken curry, and it was still piping hot by the time we got home. Considering it was completely free, it was absolutely delicious – generous portions, loads of chicken and lentils, and packed with flavour. Exactly what I needed on a gloomy Monday evening. I’ll definitely be going back to try more, especially since they also do a £5 student deal. Edit: We did end up going back to try the £50 mega thali, and it was incredible. We also ordered two mango lassi – smooth, sweet, refreshing, and perfect alongside the spicy dishes. The fish curry was light and fragrant, and the pastries were unreal, especially the sweet coconut pathi. The chana daal was comforting, and both the aubergine pakora and onion bhaji were delicious. The chutneys that came with everything were amazing too – a perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy. I’ll definitely be returning, and next time I’m bringing friends!

B Grossi Don Luigi in Streatham Hill is one of those rare independent restaurants that genuinely deserves more recognition. Everything here is made with care, using high-quality ingredients, and it shows in the flavour of every dish. Maria runs the front of house and is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Her partner Alessio is the chef, and you can taste the passion and skill in his cooking. The food is consistently excellent. The zucchini fritte are a highlight. Light, crisp, and perfectly cooked. The pizzas are outstanding, with some of the best dough in London (coming from a fellow Italian). The G.O.A.T pizza is my favourite and is one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Drinks are also done properly. The Negronis are made exactly as they should be, well balanced and strong (in the best way). The pasta dishes are also worth mentioning. The pasta is freshly made and there’s real attention to detail in each recipe. Every dish has its own character and flavour, and nothing feels rushed or generic. It’s proper Italian cooking. Don Luigi is a hidden gem and exactly the kind of independent Italian place people should support. It’s a restaurant built on quality, passion, and proper hospitality, and it’s always a pleasure to eat there.

Christopher Dias A fantastic authentic Italian restaurant in a handy town centre location. Really friendly staff and always seems busy. Managed to get a table for two on a Saturday night without a booking. Had the aubergine bruschetta and filet tagliatelle which were both excellent. Very flavourful and beautifully presented.

Ali Hooshyarpey Absolutely amazing experience! The place had such a warm Persian vibe, and the food was next-level especially the Dizi! Seriously, one of the best I’ve ever had full of flavor, rich, and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend this spot if you want real authentic Iranian taste!” Thanks a lot to Sarina Ghasideh for the great service she was super kind and professional!”
