Without a doubt the best breakfast and pancakes I've ever had, and for a really good price, too! Where else can you can a Full Monty with extra hashbrowns, toast & tea/coffee for a fiver? I have it from friends that the Eggs Benedict & Royal are sublime as well, but every time I walk in I default to my favourite. The service here is great and prompt, and it's a great place to sit and laugh away some time alone or with friends. You'll find customers coming from all over London for the food, and more often than not the police patrol stops by & takes up a stretch of tables for themselves!

The new owner and the staff made the night very special and every time I have been back since I have been recognised as soon as I walk through the door. I would recommend it to anyone now, especially anyone who went in there with the old owners as the difference is huge

Came on a recommendation from a friend of a friend for the next time I visited London. Luckily it a short walk from a tube station and even though it seems like a lot of stops from zone 1 & 2, it took less than 20 minutes from Central London. My friend and I lucked out as we arrived right before a rush, but as we started our meal we could see why people were queuing up outside and waiting for who knows how long. I don't know if I have the words to describe my experience as everything on the menu looked good and from a slightly picky eater like me, that's saying something. I just hope the rarity I hand out 5 stars will say more than my stunted vocabulary can The food was great! The hot drinks were great! The smoothies were great! Definitely going to try and make my way back to this place my next trip to London.

Unfortunately for Tandoori Corner, they're located very close to Bunga Raya, my favourite Malaysian buffet restaurant. So, by the time I stagger out of Bunga Raya, I'm feeling far too full to even contemplate buying any more food. However, last Friday, my sister and I arrived at Bunga Raya to find that they were undergoing renovation, which presented the perfect chance for me to suggest getting a takeaway from Tandoori Corner. They have a wide range of meat and vegetarian curries as well as briyanis. There is also a selection of different rices and breads to accompany the curries. We had a meat bhuna and meat makhani with chicken briyani and some parathas. The taste of the curries lived up to the smells - lots of fresh spices, herbs and proper masalas had obviously gone into the making of these curries. What made it even more amazing was the price. Each meat curry was only £3.50 for a very big box of meat-heavy curry. I love it when a place lives up to all that mental promise that you put onto it!

The Ravensbury is spacious, nice woods floors, and usually has three or four real ales which they keep well and are always happy to let me sample before buying, and they have jugs for beer not just straight glasses! But it's not a stuffy old pub - the atmosphere is usually bright and brisk. It has a fantastic garden shaded by amazing 200 year old London plane trees, and given its location at a busy road junction it almost gives you the country pub experience. I work nearby and it is the favourite local drinkinf & eating place, and the staff are always cheerful and friendly.

It's not often you find a real jewel of a place that could be so easily overlooked if all you went…read moreon was the appearance of the facade. The Moorish Lounge is one such place. It's completely unassuming from the outside and peeking through the window doesn't give you much of a clue either. It's when you look at the menu that you start to get an inkling that this might just be a little special. Once you get inside you are struck how small the place is and the atmosphere is rather like being in someone's studio flat with a Moroccan theme. However the staff are more than friendly and the smells emanating from the kitchen are even more enticing. Best places to sit are on the sofas around the outside of the space but even if the stools are available, take them because this place can become busy very quickly. The menu is amazing and I can tell you that the cooking is superb. The Tagines are sumptuous, rich and delicious and it is my intention to try each and every one of them. The mint tea is lovely and poured from a height and the juices are delicious too. The restaurant has no available alcohol but the owner/cook has no problem with you bringing your own and doesn't charge corkage. He even points out the off-licence next door. The staff are very friendly and the place has a good mix of people but be prepared for a long meal as the meals are individually cooked by the proprietor to what I can only say is a standard well worth waiting for and should definitely be taken time over to appreciate. It's a wonderful place to relax over a meal and the proprietor is a very friendly and pleasant man who makes you feel very welcome and you don't mind taking your time. The desserts are also something to highlight and especially his own cinnamon creme brulee with orange blossom which is a dessert worth going there for alone! So if you want wonderful Moroccan food in a very pleasant atmosphere and want to take time to savour it then there are very few places I could recommend more. I for one will be returning many times

I should preface this by saying I'm not familiar with Moroccan cuisine so I can't speak to its…read moreauthenticity. That being said, I can speak to the deliciousness of the menu, and in that respect it delivered in abundance. The appetizer we ordered was phyllo folded into triangles, stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, and goat cheese, then fried to golden perfection. Absolutely scrumptious. It was served over top a small, simple salad, lightly dressed and abundantly peppered, which was likewise enjoyable though less remarkable. The entree was called Supreme Chicken, and was sliced chicken breast served over a bed of sauteed spinach, smothered in a creamy, peppery sauce, resplendent with velvety sliced mushrooms and crispy, sliced potatoes on the side. It was to die for. I wouldn't describe the dish as spicy, per se, but it was thoroughly peppered, so if you're sensitive to that sort of thing you may wish to consider another entree. The menu was exotic but approachable, the staff friendly and accommodating, and the prices altogether reasonable. I have no complaints, a ton of compliments, and a profound sense of sorrow that I won't be able to visit more regularly on account of living on a different continent. Absent that, I'd be a regular. This place is wonderful.

So should give you a heads up as during their busy times you can feel like you are a prop in the tv show the chicken shop as you can get some interesting characters in here, but remember it's all about the food and whenever you have a large order they prepare the meals freshly for you! It may take 10 to 15 mins but the the results is worth the wait! We end up getting 8 spicy chicken burger meals rather than a bucket meal as it's cheaper to get burger meal here than their competitors like KFC! But the plus side is the drinks are in a can and there are a wide selection of drinks so no spillage in the car and there are large portion sizes of chips!
