The impressive address: Number One, Fulham Broadway, is located right outside the District […]
Pizzicotto – Review
Black Pizza in Kensington I went to Naples a few years ago in search of the perfect pizza-sadly I was struck down by a mysterious lurgy before I could get into my stride but that quest for the perfect fusion of charred light crust, melted cheese and sweet tomato continues. To further that aim I […]
Mustard – Review
Spicing up Shepherd’s Bush – Mustard: I’ve been invited to review a brand new West London brasserie called Mustard. It sits on the site of an old Café Rouge on that bit of the Shepherd’s Bush Road that hasn’t quite decided if it’s posh yet and in the couple of months it’s been open the place has become something of a […]
Potli – Chaat Festival
Indian Market Food in Hammersmith at Potli A couple of years ago I visited a remarkable Indian restaurant in Hammersmith. Potli isn’t posh, it’s the kind of place you’d like to find round the corner from where you live, somewhere to pop in on a regular basis. It is, however, very different. What makes it […]
Eating at the Imperial – Chelsea
The Imperial – a Chelsea Fine Dining Pub: Along the Fulham end of the Kings Road used to be something of a no-mans-land. When I first moved to West London, some fifteen years ago, you certainly wouldn’t go there for a night out, or even shop. But, it’s an area which has become increasingly up-market […]
Cottons Caribbean Cool in Notting Hill
Cottons Caribbean Restaurant and Salon de Rhum Notting Hill: The last time I visited 157-159 Notting Hill Gate it was to review Chakra – an excellent upmarket Indian restaurant. Now moved a mile or so away to High Street Kensington, the food there is still delicious. The interior at 157 has changed considerably, there’s a new […]

Moroccan Magic at Leila London: Leila restaurant has been dishing up Moroccan and Lebanese dishes for locals in the west London suburb of Ealing from its convenient position on the Uxbridge road for the last two years. I’ve been asked along to review and having been to a few Lebanese restaurants recently I’m keen to […]

We have the space, flexibility and hospitality to look after you for anything at any time; from 8am to 11.30pm every day. So say the folk at Charlotte’s W5. Since one of […]
Karaam – Review of Neighbourhood Lebanese
Counting on Karaam – Lebanese in Ealing: Sitting across from the Town Hall in Ealing Broadway is Karaam, a Lebanese restaurant which I had been asked to review with an interesting and substantial looking menu offering Lebanese classics, Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes as well as some of their own signature creations. Lebanese food encompasses the cuisines of Egypt, Palestine and […]
Zayane – Review
Zayane Moroccan Fusion in Ladbroke Grove: Portobello Road’s upstart little brother Golborne Road seems to be turning itself into a food destination. In the last few months I have reviewed charcoal grill specialist John Doe (see my review) and ‘US-accented British fare’ specialist West Thirty Six. At the Ladbroke Grove end of the road away from the North […]
