"The decor of the restaurant is really lovely. We were greeted as soon as we arrived. We placed our orders quite briskly. We received complimentary bread and olives, which was a nice touch. Our Bruchetta starter arrived a whole hour after we arrived, which was disappointing and far too long to wait for a cold and easy starter. The menu did not specify that the prawns on one of the bruschettas were raw! The waiter said service was slow because they were busy with Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Clearly not prioritising paying customers, who pay a 12.5% service charge, unlike online customers. Eventually, our main courses arrived. My pasta was only just cooked, so close to being undercooked and hard. They ran out of ricotta and replaced it with the tiniest amount of cheese so I asked for some more. Since ricotta was supposed to be the main ingredient of the dish. The tuna steak was lovely, and the veal could have done with a thinner breadcrumb batter. The sides, chips and zucchini, were £4.50 and very small portions for such a cheap side. So that was slightly disappointing. Overall, the pinot grigio white wine was very drinkable, and they brought tap water when we asked for it. And the whole staff were very polite. It was a shame the service was so slow, and the food could have been better for the price that it was. We also felt it was overpriced for the location it was, zone 2 London and not in the West End."

"Where better to have a full English halal breakfast than Jasmine's. An excellent menu a variety of options . At £9 you get 2 x sausages, turkey bacon, beans, hash brown, scrambled eggs, toast and mushrooms. Delicious too. Did not have to wait long to be served and for the food to arrive. Great service too. Latte was good too as we're the hot chocolates. Just under £60 for a family of 5 is solid value. As it was Sunday you can park on a nearby road. Only minor quibble for the management to take on board is it was a little cold inside perhaps have some heaters nearby."

"We had catering for a family party of 40. The food was delicious and fresh, dosas were lovely and crisp with the right amount of filling. The 2 chefs were really polite and accommodating and all the arrangements were really smooth from start to finish. I would highly recommend Srilalitha and will definitely use them again."

"The portion sizes at Bnova are very small for the price, and only one person is responsible for taking orders. The dishes were not as flavorful as other restaurants in the area, and there is a mandatory 10% service charge for families of four. The music played from a small set of speakers was way too loud and had poor sound quality. Despite repeatedly asking for the volume to be turned down, our group still had trouble hearing each other. Overall, we will not be returning to Bnova."

"I had a great time at Masala Gallery. The Long Island Spiced Tea Cocktail was impressive and the food was excellent. The butter naan was some of the best I've ever had - light and fluffy. The service was good and the staff was friendly. The large TV channels added to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely visit again. The only downside was limited parking spaces."
