"First class. Food and service were superb. Truly accomplished and delicious dishes. My friend, who doesn’t really care much for food, declared the honey parfait dessert to be the best thing he’d ever eaten. I had the rhubarb soufflé, the presentation of which is hilariously risqué! The rack of Dover sole was exquisite. Lots of little treats too. The sommelier was really good even though we weren’t splashing out on wine on this occasion. Her dirty dry martinis were excellent. Overall, a five-star experience. Ambience-wise, it was a bit quiet on Saturday lunch; and it is undeniably expensive. No doubt a causal connection between those two minor quibbles. However, we both agreed that it was worth it and have spent comparable sums (or more) elsewhere for far less. The team behind this restaurant are at the top of their game: they appear to love what they do; and pull out the stops to give their guests a wonderful time. The staff were attentive and kind but not intrusive. Consummate professionals."

"I had a lovely experience at this restaurant and the food was delicious! It was my first time trying Persian cuisine and I found it to be very refined and mild, yet still full of flavor. The staff even brought out a cake when they heard it was my birthday. I would definitely return to this restaurant!"

"We went on Sunday and had the chicken and beef roast. I really loved the different flavours that the roast included. It wasn't just some veg cooked in butter, but you could really taste the flavour they have put into the veg. The chicken was a bit tough but nonetheless still very flavourful. The beef was sirloin so not the best cut. But still great flavours. The drinks where great and had amazing taste to it. We got their weekend desserts as well that was very well presented and tasted great. Everything is halal and the owners took great care in explaining this and also seemed very passionate about their product. Only thing I'd say is that it was a bit pricey, for two of us the bill came up over £90, but you pay for the quality and service I guess. Will go again probably for the regular menu next time."

"I and my son occasionally discover this very elegant restaurant, just before the main entrance of the imperial college. did not immediately realize that it was a polish, but once inside, looking at quite customers and extremely professional and gentle waiters, was so glad that we have eaten some speciality one of the best and fast growing land in Eastern Europe! the most important courses were really delicious, and the smoked salmon with a kind of warm little pfan cake was absolutely! gran finale with their big vodka figa. 60, including 1 2lt polish. recommended also for a romantic dinner, but do not forget the figa as dessert"

"We stumbled upon this restaurant without prior knowledge, making it a blind booking. However, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The restaurant was a favorite among locals. The service was extremely attentive and personalized, and Toni, the owner, was charming. The food was exceptional, and despite being full, I couldn't resist trying one of their desserts. It was truly first-class, and we highly recommend it. On our next visit to London, we will definitely return to Clapham so we can dine at Toni's Amalfi once again."
