Not the most amazing meal but not the worst. Desserts are a bit expensive though for the size…read more I stopped in here for dinner yesterday about 6:30pm and it was empty save for one other customer. It's a small place and I was the only woman there which seemed to give slight pause to those when I entered. Anyway, they didn't have any lentil soup on the heavily meat-based menu so I ordered the kuku- veg omelet with spinach, coriander, spring onion and dill served with bread and yogurt. The bread, yogurt, a pickled cabbage and a salsa of some sort was actually put on the table prior to the omelet. The bread was cold and not very tasteful but decent enough dipped in the yogurt. The omelet arrived soon after, fresh off the grill and was a good size that filled me up. It was chock full of spinach which was a pleasant surprise. Tastewise, it was as a decent omelet should taste. I got a baklava and a small, crescent-shaped pastry with walnuts for takeaway and whilst it wasn't the best thing I've ever had, it was tasty enough. The baklava was dense and had a lovely honey taste. The omelet (and bread) was only £7.95 but my bill came to £13.95 with the two desserts which I think is a bit much.

Let me start with the positive: it's in London, easy to find, and is centrally located. The…read moreatmosphere is really good and staff is friendly, courteous and welcoming but I felt they were somewhat stressed out. The space is small and it's really filled up with tables to a point where waiters have to navigate gingerly but it IS London and space is $$$$ but they could easily offset it with great food but alas, that wasn't the case. Perhaps, an unsuspecting non Russian tourist might enjoy the experience, but as a native, if I had to use one polite word and not a lot of Russian expletives - dreadful would be it. If you own this place or work there you will know that all pickles came from a jar. You'd know that pastries were not made by you and weren't made today but you don't charge yesterday's prices. Even the bread was ehh. Not going to list the dishes but they all were not that tasty and possibly not made by a Russian cook. Notice, I didn't even use the word "chef" which is what this type of restaurant ought to have. A MAJOR disappointment and an expensive one at that. Don't do this. If you happen to travel to LA, I will make Russian food for you or at least tell you where to go

The great service continued throughout our meal. Which consisted of: 1. Noxat shurva - a flavorful soup consisting of lamb, chickpeas and carrots 2. Manti - steamed dumplings filling with lamb and onion, served with generous amount of sour cream, butter and dill 3. Pelmeni - a Russian version of dumpling, also with mince lamb 4. Plov - rice dish with fall-apart lamb, carrots served with a side of pickled veggies. The best of the lot Prices are extremely affordable given its prominent location within London.

However, this place is not cheap, and the food took a long time to arrive. For our group of 20, we pre-ordered the day before. In spite of this, it took an hour for our starters to arrive, and another hour after that for our mains. We were starving! My food was decent. The borshtch was good, while my Central Asian lamb plov was a little bland. The ambience is great though. Live music and Russian folk songs... Like I said, an experience... and best visited with someone from Eastern Europe.

I may have ruined Beef Wellington for myself forever--on my first trip to London, at Bob Bob Ricard…read moreSoho. Because I don't know how another one is supposed to compete with this. The Beef Wellington was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked, rich, tender, and genuinely one of the best things I've eaten. I'm still thinking about it. I also tried a Blackberry Paloma for the first time, and that was another surprise. Absolutely delicious. Fresh, balanced, and dangerously easy to drink. But what really made the night was the entire experience. The service was exceptional. Every member of the waitstaff made us feel welcomed and taken care of, and our waitress was wonderful. Warm, attentive, and genuinely added something special to the evening. There are restaurants where you remember the food. There are restaurants where you remember how people made you feel. Bob Bob Ricard gave me both. For my first trip to London, this was one of those meals I know I'm going to remember. Beautiful restaurant. Incredible food. Amazing service. I came to London wanting experiences I couldn't have anywhere else. This was one of them. Five stars. Fácil. My phenomenal waitress was Madara And the director Richard was so friendly

The very grand blue room was full of potraits of the bygone era of the Russian Royal Family and their personal advisor Rasputin who was also a heamophiliac. We soon got into conversation with the Montenegrin owner and her Croation husband over a traditional ORAHOVAC-green-walnut vodka and a bowl of Russian pickles. The menu is extensive ranging from dishes from Poland,Ukraine and the Balkans-there were some really good starters like borscht, lightly smoked salmon blinis with sour cream and dill. We tucked into a hearty main course of stuffed peppers; a honey marinated fillet of salmon accompanied by fried vegetables.

Oh my goodness! I can't believe no-one has reviewed the epic Karaoke Epoc yet!!…read more When I was a student, I was never completely convinced that this place existed. I had vague drunken memories of stumbling into a manga shop and finding a mini-Japan style Karaoke box...I must have been here quite a few times with different groups of Japanese friends. However I could never find it again when I was sober. *blushes* Karaoke Epoc is hidden at the back of Adanami Shobo (the Japanese Manga/ book shop on Brewer street.) If you have never been there before, it can be a teeny bit tricky to find...look out for a 'De-lux Cleaning' sign to find the shop. This is one of the least posh karaoke places in London. The decor is a little old/scabby looking...but it is also brilliant! I'll tell you why: - We booked the huuuge room downstairs, and had more than enough room for all 16 of us. There was even enough room for us to dance around the table as well!! - They have teeny 4-6 people rooms upstairs if you have a smaller group. - There was a fridge in the corner, so we brought drinks and kept them cool in there. - The remote control is like a mini computer...you can search by song title or by artist. Ask for help if you can't read Japanese. - There is a decent Japanese/Korean/Chinese selection of songs as well as all the old English favorites. Oooh and a whole page of disney songs!! (^^) - It is really cheap, especially if you go early and have a large group of singing friends. Last night I paid £11 for three hours. I'm not the only on that loves this place!! Make sure you book in advance as it is nearly always booked up.

When I come to London I always like doing karaoke with my friends, this now the only place I want to do it at. P.s. If you need to get some booze when you're there, go out of the front door and go left down the street, take the first right and there's a shop just there.
