Good burgers but quite expensive once you've added a couple of toppings. I would still have given this place a 4 star review but the below average service and the appallingly dirty toilets bring it down to a 3 star.

Amazing! This place is a gem. The food is absolutely delicious & worth every penny. Leluu goes out of her way to accommodate your dietary preferences & I have seriously NEVER eaten better Pho than I had here.

Book a spot - you won't regret it.

It's taken a while to find a hair dresser that lives within 15 minutes of home and is good at his job. This is a great place to go for a hair cut or for beauty treatments.

My hair looks great.

These are the worst property managers on the planet. They are rude, don't answer or return calls, don't provide you with ANY help whatsoever.

It's taken over 3 weeks of phone calls & emails to their 'Principal, John Yianni' & I still haven't been able to get a copy of my buildings insurance policy from them.

I wouldn't hire their 'services' even if they were free.

Avoid like the plague. In fact, I'm sure that coming in contact with the plague would be a more pleasant experience than having to contact these guys.

The food is hit or miss. The Vadas are sometimes delicious and sometimes reek of stale oil.

The sambar & chutney are very average - nothing compared to places like Chennai Dosa.

Don't even bother with the Bhel and other Bombay dishes.

The service is meh.

If you're craving South Indian food - you should go a few feet away to Shilpa, instead.

This is hands down the best burrito I have ever eaten in London. No more crappy soggy burritos with tasteless salsas & limp lettuce leaves & tiny drop of guacamole.

These burritos are wraps of heaven.

I'm quite stingy with the star ratings, but the hummous at Fresco is worth 10 stars. Seriously, I've often wondered if they mix some drugs in it - it's so delicious & addictive!

Everything else that we've tried here has also been fantastic - the baba ghanoush, the souvlaki, the fresh juices & the bread.

The Hummingbird Bakery

2.0 star rating

I truly am baffled by the hype around this bakery. Having lived in both the US & Canada & having tried different cupcake shops there, I can truly say that this place is just average.
The cupcakes we ordered (Vanilla, Red Velvet & Chocolate) were sickly sweet & I could not eat more than half in one sitting.
For the price I paid & all the hype that surrounds this bakery, I really expected better.

Fez Mangal

I have been trying to cut down on meat, but Fez Mangal is making it impossible for me to do this.

They serve DELICIOUS, fresh, tasty and reasonably priced Turkish food and make it really hard for wanna-be vegetarians like me!

Dishoom  

Category: Indian
Area: Covent Garden

3.0 star rating
12/9/2010
Dishoom can be quite hit or miss. When it's good, it's very very good. When it's not... well ... it's not.

The things to avoid:
Kulfi - Once you've eaten the real thing - this one just won't cut it.
Paav Bhaaji - The bhaaji is good, but the paav is NOT.
Chili cheese toast - So disappointing. How did they go wrong with cheese & chillies!?

Things to definitely eat:
Daal Makhni - YUM!
Roomali Roti - generally excellent, although sometimes they make it crispy & ruin it.
Masala Prawns - TO DIE FOR!
