The Unique Kalabash Restaurant - (Near , london)

David Wilson I popped in today expecting to find a cafe which served a sandwich… Well, that’s not why I found, I was greeted by the owner who promised to make me something nice, he then threw together a beautiful ham, mozzarella, olives, tomatoes, rocket, and basil all fresh from his counter in a hand made ciabatta which was full of flavour and air, it was delicious and the owner couldn’t have been nicer if he tried! He even taught me how he rolls the bread ready to be cooked fresh each day, if I lived nearer I’d never bake again and be here regularly! Cannot recommend it enough for fresh delicious food!

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.

Rina L. Found this elegant little spot in Notting Hill Visited for dinner and ordered the lobster pasta, grilled John Dory and grilled stuffed poussin. The lobster pasta was rich but well balanced generous lobster, properly seasoned, not overly creamy. Portion size fair for the price point. John Dory was cooked accurately with crispy skin and delicate flesh. Fresh and clean flavours. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Atmosphere is intimate, slightly romantic, good for date night or small group dinners.

Charlotte Sylvester My sister had a Hen Do brunch today at 2pm at Soul Lounge and I must say the atmosphere the food the drinks the service. The manager on duty were amazing and very accommodating will definitely be coming again. Thank you so much. Also big shout out to the DJ. He was amazing and playing absolute tunes! ✨✨✨✨

Gav atron Simply one of the best pizzas Ive had. A beautiful thin base with a lovely bit of chew, amd tasty too unlike some bases where you dont want the crust. Clearly.fresh ingredients and no one flavour dominated. And the garlic bread was sublime. I used the order in advance service and my pizza was fresh out of the oven amd being boxed as I arrived so I could get home and eat it immediately.

Colin H Robertson We had a delightful lunch today. French onion soup and venison pate for starters and good old fish and chips and Dover sole for mains. Vicky looked after us perfectly. Will be back very soon. xxx
