We had lunch here, not knowing anything about the place and with no expectations. But it ended up being our best meal out in a long time! Service was friendly and casual, and the location itself is very pleasant, warm still airy. The menu consists of small dishes meant for sharing, so we ordered six between us two. All ranged between very good and great. Flavours perfectly balanced; sweet, savoury, citrus, chilli... The chef mixes cuisines in a very professional way. The octopus was probably our favourite- melt in your mouth texture, and so rich in flavour. We ordered a second portion, that's how good it was. We shared the Elvis Presley dessert, banana cake with a banana cream and strawberry jam. As with the mains, interesting but most of all incredibly tasty! Even though it was prime lunch time on a Saturday the place wasn't full- a surprise, given the quality of the food and the overall experience. But give it a month or two more, I would be surprised if you don't have to queue! read more

Foleys, the sister of one of my all time favourite restaurant, The Palomar. The restaurant specialises in small dishes incorporating world flavours with heavy influences from flavours across the Silk Road. Decor was like someone had shoved a diner into an old farmhouse with its leather seats against the rustic brick wall that still highlighted its sawed off beams. It's was cool, relaxing with its use of candles and warm lighting although I wish music could have been turned down a notch. Lotus pops These were complimentary and very moreish. Lotus seeds roasted till they pop so had a similar texture as popcorn without the hard inner shells. They were very well spiced and being hollow they created this burst of flavour as they melted in your mouth. Ceviche endive tacos These arrived in pairs and were glorious. Firstly be prepared for a sharp hit of tanginess from the lime juice rolling off the endive. It was quite a shock until you start to appreciate the complexity of it from the hint of coconut milk and the use of miso for umami. It was a lovely complement to the tuna that was was fresh and flavourful as well as the tender octopus pieces. Radishes, cucumbers and peanuts gave it that lovely crunch and nuttiness and helped balance out the flavour. Cauliflower My tongue was buzzing continuously from all the range of flavours. It was very fragrant of spices, especially of garam masala. On the other spectrum was rich earthy flavours from the coconut pesto and nuttiness from the smoked peanuts. Umami and juiciness from the crushed tomatoes. Tzatziki helped balanced out the flavours as well as binding everything together in its smooth refreshing creaminess. Nori wrapped tuna A great representation of Japanese flavours. The tuna was high in quality, clean and fresh in taste with further flavour and seasoning given by the seaweed wrap. Shiitake mushrooms pushed its umami flavours further whilst the pear and yuzu mayo added a lovely zest to it. The combination of textures were wonderful, completed with edamame beans to give that refreshing crunch. Pork belly Slightly overdone on the sourness from the tamarind flavours, buttermilk and overload of citrusy notes from the pickled apples and papaya. The pork itself was lovely though once you put the sour ingredients aside and let the rich juicy savoury flavours run over. It was melting soft throughout being slow cooked, all very moist and succulent. Cured red onions added another dimension of sharpness balanced nicely with the gentle flavours of the cashews and puffed rice. To be honest it could have done with more sweeter notes to balance out the sourness. Sticky beef This beef tasted very offaly even when no offals were involved. Probably the daikon which sometimes can give that unpleasant smell of 'feet'. It was definitely an acquired taste which I was more accepting of. Other than that, I did enjoy how tender and rich and the beef was, just pulling away from my fork. The kaffir lime purée helped take some of that offalness away with its subtle citrusy notes and the best part being the cucumber som tam, very refreshing with its light dressing of tamarind and fish sauce. Fried shallots and peanuts added extra flavour. Lamb rump This dish was like riding through a rollercoaster of Mediterranean flavour. The lamb was fantastic, sweet and tender with the confit belly melting soft with its juicer flavours. But around that we were bombarded with very rich savoury flavours from the use of dukkah, an array of spices giving depth and complexity to the dish. More wholesome earthy flavours from the lovely thick herby houmous and then the crumbly creamy feta to balance out the dish. Cornbread added a lovely mellow sweetness and was deliciously moist and fluffy. Grilled octopus Probably my favourite dish. The octopus chunks were incredibly fresh, springy and very tender. They carried a nice smokiness to it being charred. But it was the black sesame miso that gave it that addictive rich nuttiness to it. Miso seasoned it with its complex umami. A side of pak choi to add a lovely light balance to the dish and finished off with peanuts for a lovely crunch Cornflakes crusted popcorn chicken Another highlight. Warm creative flavours coming together to create a harmonious balance. The chicken remained moist, packed full of flavour and had a nice bounce to. Contrasting that was an incredibly cornflake crust, thick yet light and crispy. It was addictive crunch my way into the chicken for moisture. Sweetcorn gave that burst of sweetness whilst pickled shimeji mushrooms for a bit of earthy tang and chorizo for depth and spice. Surrounding that was a lovely milky creamy mysterious sauce that made it into comfort food. Foley's deserve a praise. A fantastic use of ingredients and flavours to create such unique and creative dishes. Some dishes were clearly better than others like the octopus, chicken and cauliflower but even just those alone were worth going there to try read more

I ate here for dinner tonight and got the spiced sweet potato fritters with grilled pineapple, cured red onions, saffron coconut curry; aubergine with pomegranate, dates, chili like yogurt, puffed quinoa, feta; and the super greens with gem lettuce, kale, avo, fennel, feta, spiced quinoa, pistachio, orange (sans red onion). I'm dinking a whole two stars for the manager not offering doggy bags. This really pissed me off as I was pretty full by the third course and being forced to shove food down my throat rather then let it go to waste is just shitty. It's 2016, stop allowing good food to be wasted. I wish I had brought my Tupperware. On the plus sides: Fritters seem lightly fried so they still cut easily. The sweet potato taste on point. The red onion cuts the slight spice just perfectly. The aubergine is one of the best I've had in London. Seriously. It had the perfect texture and the combination of the roasted smokiness, sweetness from the pomegranate arils, and slight kick from the chili and yogurt just blew me away. The puffed quinoa sprinkled atop gave a perfect crunch. Finally the salad was a nice finisher. Very light dressing with small chunks of feta, avo and orange offered a sweet and savoury blend pleasing to the tastebuds I also got the strawberry/basil cocktail which was a bit pricey around 10 quid. It looked lovely but was very, very sweet so I likely wouldn't get it again. read more

Small plate restaurants are commonplace nowadays but Foley's really manages to combine many different elements beautifully in each of its dishes. Ceviche Endive Taco A bit tricky to eat but the flavours and presentation are stunning. The taco itself is a endive stuffed with tuna and octopus with peanuts to give it a crunch. It leaves a nice tangy after taste Aubergine Best dish! The lime yoghurt dressing with pomegranate especially is to die for and there will be a bitter battle to see who manages to scrape the most off the plate. Spiced sweet potato fritters Sweet potato is being done to death everywhere but this was an unique take. The accompanying saffron curry needs to be a dish in itself. Lamb Rump This dish comes a close second. The meat is cooked perfectly and the combination of dhukka and herb hummus is spot on. My only slight complaint is the corn bread which felt a bit unnecessary and contributed nothing. Octopus Complimentary dish from the chef. I loved that the octopus was tender but the flavours were a bit of a miss. There was too much going on with the homemade Siracha sauce and it was a little too salty. The black sesame Mayo was intriguing though. Hake Just no. This was a huge let down particularly as all the previous dishes had been so exciting. The fish flaked off on your fork but it was bland. Absolutely bland. The small consolations, however, were the okra and chickpeas. Overall, most dishes were a hit. It's clear how much thought they have put into each dish and in fleshing it out and it comes through for the most part. My only big gripe was how slowly the food arrived, but service otherwise was very good. Definitely recommended! read more

Incredible food and service. Green chicken curry with coconut rice. Really sweet people. Highly recommend.

The food is creative where it uses different flavours from around the world to bring you modern dishes. The complimentary lotus seeds is popcorn like snacks. It was crunchy with a spicy kick, with Indian flavour. Ceviche endive tacos (£6.50) is endive filled with tuna, octopus, cucumber, coconut miso leche and peanuts. A refreshing dish that had flavours of Asia, combining the concept of tacos and ceviche from Latin America. Charcoal grilled chicken thigh 'ends' (£6) were small pieces of moist chicken thighs garnished with spring onions and sesame seeds. The chicken did not have much flavour and rely on the dip to bring it alive. Aubergine (£8) is served with pomegranate, dates, chilli lime yogurt, puffed quinoa and feta. The flavour of the dish did not work for me. I found the dish too fragrant for my taste buds. A friend described the taste as a breath of washroom air freshener. Cornflake crusted popcorn chicken (£8) is served with pickled shimeji, corn, endive, and choriz. The chicken is in a crispy coating which you bite in to moist chicken. Sticky beef (£9) is served with daikon cucumber som tam, avo & kaffir lime purée and crispy shallots. The beef was tender and the texture seem to me as beef cheek. Like the chicken the beef is best enjoyed with the som tam and purée. Pork belly (£9) consist of tamarind BBQ, apple, green papaya, buttermilk, cured red onions, toasted cashews. This had the same fragrant flavour that we found in the aubergine, but a bit more subtle. Lamb rump (£12) is confit belly, herb hummous, spiced peppers, cornbread, feta and dukkah. This dish is flavour from mediterranean cuisines. It is not a dish for those who do not like the flavour of lamb as it was fairly strong. Nori wrapped tuna (£11) is made of compressed nashi pear, shitake, edamame, seaweed, yuzu mayo and tapioca. This was flavour of Asia with a modern touch. The tuna was nicely served and worked well with the fragrant shiitake. Hake (£9) is made up of tamarind, fennel, coconut, crispy chickpeas, okra, coriander and kale. The fish was nicely cooked and being hake it has flavour similar to cod. The flavour of coconut gives this dish the flavour of Thai cuisines. Grilled octopus (£9) consist of back sesame mayo, spicy pork mince, peanuts, bok choy and house made sriracha. The octopus was beautifully tender and had the flavour of lemongrass. Unfortunately none of the homemade ice creams were available that evening. I was intrigued to try the blackcurrant sorbet with a price tag of £7. Instead we settled on the three main desserts on the menu. It was three desserts that brings three different flavours around the world. Fatboy elvis is made up of warm chocolate chip banana cake, banana cream, peanut honeycomb, bacon crack and strawberry jam. The banana cream balance the strawberry jam out and the banana cake itself was not sweet. Baklava cheesecake (£6) is a decronstructed cheesecake made up of cardamom cheese, puff pastry, walnut pistachio and rose petals. It was a clever created cheesecake to imitate a baklava. It is lighter and less sweeter than having an actual baklava. The cheese was fluffy and light which made this dessert less heavy then a typical cheesecake. Panna cotta (£6) is made up of coconut, lemongrass, lychees, chilli and chocolate crumble and basil. I could not see the chilli and chocolate crumble which could had been excluded as we had a friend with nut allergies. But the dessert did not disappoint as I love the frozen lychee that was garnished on top of the panna cotta. This was my favourite dessert on the menu. Folye's restaurant has a selection of drinks including their house cocktails. The most spectacular on the menu and the most expensive is Happy days (£13.50). This come served in a magnificent pineapple cup made up of Elyx vodka, coconut water, pink grapefruit juice, agave syrup, lime juice, pineapple juice, ginger juice and bitters. We asked for a mocktail version which excluded the vodka. It was a refreshing drink which is great for the warm weather. I picture having one on a beautiful white sandy beach and blue ocean under warm sunny blue sky. I thought it was brave for the chef to be so creative with all the different flavours. However, not all the combination of the flavours work for me. The restaurant was able to accommodate a friend with nut allergies and all the dishes we ordered could be excluded with nuts. This meant there was not a single dish we ordered that she could not try. read more

Food was fantastic. Service great. But we saw a mouse several times running behind our table. Not great

This place is really great. The staff is lovely and so helpful. We came in for a coffee but ended up having to hangout for an hour while we waited on a unresponsive Airbnb host's response. I had all our bags from a couple months of travel along with me while my fiancé turned in our rental car... I can't say enough about this establishment and their kindness. The cocktails looked great as the mixologist mixed the drinks. They also have a wide range of wine as well as many choices on their food menu. Thank you Foley's.... #fiftyandco read more

We went to Foley's for their new Sunday evening Off Menu tasting session. The event is very exclusive with only 10 seats at the kitchen bar up for grabs, so reserve early! The menu was themed 'Mumbai', and as a born Mumbai-ite I can say with confidence that it hit the flavours spot on. We started with a tangy mint and coriander cold broth with floating fried crisps and sprouts. It was a delicious start to the meal and got our taste buds tingling. The rest of the meal, crab, hake and lamb was equally scrumptious and ended on a perfect note with a new take on rasagullas, an East Indian sweet cheese. The sox course menu cost £65 with an additional £25 for the excellent wine pairings. Overall, the food as interesting and very well presented. I thought the food belonged in more upscale settings though and would've been happy paying more if the restaurant and service had matched up to the food. read more

One of the very best meals I have had in ages. Great atmosphere, lovely wait staff, and the food is inventive, beautifully plated and incredibly delicious We shared six plates between two of us and each and every bite was something to swoon over. Do yourself a favor and go while you can still get a reservation. read more
