    We came here last weekend while we were in London for a birthday, and we were staying nearby! We were all very impressed, the personal welcome form the chef, the quality of the food and the service were all absolutely amazing. One of the best things were the spicy margerita's - they were fantastic. Definitely recommend if you are in the area, will definitely be back!

    We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon sitting in the sunshine being served a special meal. The concept of our food arriving as it was ready enabled us to all share the dishes being served by very attentive and informative staff. Cyrus and Pervin both took time out of their busy day to talk to us and even prepared a special dish for my husbands birthday that was not on the menu.

    We had tasting menu with some dishes that we had selected ourselves, as the restaurant were very flexible around this. It was first class, and I will definitely return - with my family - which is the highest accolade I can pay.
