   Second time at Ayllu, we continue trying the menu and the sushi art conquers our palate. I have never tried such delicious tacos, spectacular beef croquettes, sashimi, a whole explosion of flavors artistically combined with a perfect presentation of the delicacies. Unbeatable service from Morella& Azamat, attentive to everything and with clear explanations of all the preparations. Atmosphere, decoration and lighting that welcome and clothe you. We want to continue testing the menu! In mind is to try the tasting menu experience with pairing.

   What a pleasant surprise! I booked this place with zero expectations, and it turned out to be a total win. The service was awesome, and the food was seriously fantastic. It's a hidden gem, and I'll definitely be back. Five stars for sure!

   Just wanted to have a quick lunch so did not expect much. But this was truly a 5/5 experience: my husband had the 6 course lunch set menu which was a truly amazing experience. Great restaurant in a great location just 10 min away from Kensington. Its very well worth a visit.

   We chose this restaurant based on the good Opentable reviews and we didn't regret it! Atmospheric, on a pleasantly lit covered lower floor and with a top chef! We gave the server carte blanche and were treated to 6 different delicious dishes (2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 desserts), a combination of South American and Japanese, very refined and tasty. An absolute must for those looking for a culinary highlight in London!

   Excelente Japanese/Peruvian fusion. The service was just as good as the food, and the our waitress was amazing. We even asked to thank the chef for the fantastic dishes he put out. The ceviches and beef croquette were truly amazing. Overall, every dish served exceeded my expectations. Oh the desserts were extremely yummy :-)

   We had an absolutely perfect visit to Ayllu restaurant in Paddington Basin. Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent services and the food was at highest standard. Great selection of sushi as well as South American dishes, great bao buns. Rate 10 out of 10. Thank you all very much. Look forward to visit you again.🤩

The staff were absolutely fabulous, friendly and professional explaining the each dish to us. The food was fantastic and definitely a Michelin star quality like. Great job guys!

    I had a business dinner to organize, so I asked London area friends what they would suggest in the Paddington area. Ayllu was consistently recommended, much to my surprise. I had gone here over 3 years ago and remember enjoying a fairly standard but good sushi. Paddington has been undergoing a lot of changes, so I had heard, and I expected to see many new hipsterish places with old guard ones shuttering. While this is true of the area, Ayllu is still going strong. The sushi is excellent. The fare is standard. Other dishes are excellent and all fairly traditional Japanese food I was especially excited to get a some of the South American dishes like ceviches. The place was crowded, even on a Wed night. So, if you want to get authentic, traditional, delicious Japanese/South American food that is a little nicer than a noodle shop, go here! My friends did not steer me wrong. Oh, and the prices are amazing, considering what you get (maybe about $50 per person excluding alcohol).
