The Fat Badger - Notting Hill - (Near , london)

Alexander Vladimirov Yes, this is THE Speedys — the iconic café right next to Sherlock and Watsons house! -) Of course, I mean the one from the BBC-series Sherlock. Right nearby is the entrance to "that very house" where the shows characters lived. Although these days the “221B” number has been removed and replaced with a plaque stating that an Italian patriot once lived here. The café itself is very nice and cozy - perhaps six tables inside, plus two outside. The menu is quite modest and limited (it used to be much larger, as you can see online). The walls are decorated with film stills and photos of the owner with the actors. The owner was there during my visit, but he seemed busy and concerned, so I didn’t want to bother him. I should note that there are always people here. You can get a seat, but patrons constantly come and go. Judging by the opening hours (Speedy’s is open from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays), the café still primarily serves local residents, not tourists. On the other hand, there are certainly fewer tourists now — there are many more TV shows, and Sherlock is mentioned less often… Speedy’s offers excellent service. The waiter told me how he was there during filming (having worked here his whole life) and was generally very friendly and cheerful. The food here is unpretentious - very simple, yet delicious. The bacon is absolutely outstanding. English tea is served in a large cup with milk already added -) But then again, people dont come here for culinary wonders; they come to see where one of the best TV series was filmed. You can reach Speedy’s by metro; the nearest station is Euston Square. As for prices, they’re remarkably low. Which is another reason to love Speedys -) A tasty café, a place of interest for any cinephile, and very, very reasonable prices.

Jessica Graham Words cannot even describe how amazing this restaurant and their food is! My partner and I have been ordering from here for over 3 years and have never wanted or needed to change. The staff go above and beyond to help you and make you feel valued, and it is definitely the best Chinese takeaway I have had - never had a bad or off night from their noodles and rices to their chicken and beef dishes! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Senait Tewolde Me and my daughter passed by this restaurant and decided to go in after seeing it. The place was clean, beautifully decorated with cultural photos, and very welcoming. The owner was very kind. My daughter was so happy and said she wanted to eat straight away. We ordered Ethiopian and Eritrean food, and everything was very delicious. We also enjoyed tea. My daughter loved it. Highly recommended, and we will definitely come back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

K W (KW) We popped in for lunch as Ive passed by so many times and have wanted to try it. The menu seemed to have changed recently and the prices have increased significantly. The service was quite slow, despite no other customers in the restaurant. We had to wait quite a while for the food but it was worth the wait. The food was served on large plates and was tasty. Persian is played in the restaurant but was quite loud initially. The decor inside was very traditional and unique. I would recommend for traditional and tasty persian cuisine. Ordered ghormesh sabzi which is a traditional Iranian dish. Very flavorful. Shishlik which is lamb chops with salad and rice - tasty and large portion Baghali Polo - lamb shank with salad and rice. Good portion and tasty. Special kebab - two skewers which salad and rice.

Mr. H Al Yemen restaurant was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was impeccably attentive without being intrusive. The food was absolutely excellent. Bursting with flavour, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Its rare to find a place where everything aligns so seamlessly. A truly perfect dining experience!

Michael Asa Delicious pizza with an affordable price. Very quick service. Really easy to find, walking distance to Kings Cross. A must visit if youre around the area.
