Verdi - Italian Kitchen at the Royal Albert Hall - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, london)

Aari Lemmik The service was outstanding—our server Maruf was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. We had Pistachio Chicken Korma, Lamb Madras, Malwa Mango Chicken and Ajwaiji Salmon Tikka. While everything was presented nicely, the flavors felt a bit flat and the dishes didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the stellar service. Flavor is key in Indian cuisine, unfortunately it was missing this time. I’d return for the great hospitality and beautiful interiors, though I really hope the chef rediscovers their joy in cooking so the meals can improve and authentic rich Indian flavours will be re-introduced. Special thanks for the excellent espresso; it was a highlight of the dinner.

Jennifer Rhoads I told my husband, “This is so delicious, I’m almost upset.” I don’t even know what that means, but the food is amazing. The grilled halloumi is such perfect texture—I think it’s the best I’ve ever had. The vibe is comfortable, cozy, and so welcoming. The people and service are wonderful. Incredibly aware and engaging. Book a table and don’t miss this place!

Jill Hoppi We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, comfortable, and well organized. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained, making it easy to relax and feel at home. What truly stood out, however, was the breakfast. It was absolutely exceptional — without a doubt one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever experienced. The selection was incredibly varied, with fresh fruits, high-quality pastries, delicious hot dishes, freshly baked bread, and excellent coffee. Everything was beautifully presented and constantly replenished. You could really taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. A very special mention goes to Cecilia, who made our breakfast experience even more memorable. Her service was outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. She greeted every guest with a smile, made sure everything was perfect, and created such a pleasant atmosphere in the morning. Her professionalism and kindness truly made a difference and started each day on the best possible note. Thank you for such a fantastic stay. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Arian Amiri The Fiorentina steak was absolutely brilliant, tender, juicy and full of rich beefy flavour! The outside had a deep caramelised crust from the high heat while the inside stayed soft and perfectly pink! The pepper sauce elevated it even further and paired perfectly with the steak. The interiors were insane with a very unique broken chandelier art in the middle of the restaurant! Highly recommend - @londonfoodblogs on Instagram and TikTok

Péter Horváth I went here for a Saturday dinner with my girlfriend. Our server Ruben was quick, friendly and helpful, we felt very welcome from the first moment. The food was delicious, the award-winning fried goat cheese is a must try for anyone in doubt!
