Je lee Lovely Goan food at very reasonable prices. Must try fish thali!

Sara Hedayati Such a lovely little spot. The service was warm and attentive and the sushi was fresh and full of flavour. Every roll was a hit, specially the salmon dragon roll was the standout for me. It’s a small place, which makes it feel cosy, and the fresh wasabi just topped it off nicely. Would happily come back again

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.

Strong Coffee A fantastic restaurant, has a zero waste kitchen, skilled chefs and staff who are knowledgeable about the food and ingredients. Fresh, tasty food with depth of flavours and gorgeous textures. A new changing menu and a wide range of choice. Support this local gem!

Phottos Photos Whenever I’m in Balham I make sure I visit this hidden gem. Extensive menu offerings, from full English to noodle dishes at all times of the day. Proper cafe, most of which are hard to find these days. Owner is always greeting you with a friendly smile, very welcoming!

Canonbury Carpentry Popped in Humdingers Highbury for the first time when I was working local to them. After looking at the menu I asked for a breakfast bun but was told they wasn’t cooking hot food at that time. However the staff were very helpful and pointed me in the direction of their pre-made sandwiches/rolls which they told they would heat up. Opted for a tuna roll, and an apricot pastry. The roll was fresh and extremely filling, the pastry was probably the best pastry I’ve ever had. £8 for the 2 items and drink, very reasonable for fresh delicious food that filled me up for the rest of the day. Will definitely be going back.
