This is a must try when in the area!…read more When we first walked in, we were kindly greeted by the staff and had no problem getting a table without a reservation. They quickly cleaned a table and sat us down. The menu is a bit extensive but our favorites were the pad sieyu, papaya salad, and duck kee mao. It had a perfectly balanced flavor of salty, sweet, and spicy. Would highly recommend these dishes. The moo ping was a little bland and the sticky rice was too sticky for our liking. Overall, we would come back to eat here again when we're back in London!

Because of her, this place gets 3 instead of 2 stars. The appetizers, soft-shell crab with mango salad and the seared scallops with spicy dressing, were good. No criticisms there.

Portions were good but it didn't really matter because the food wasn't up to snuff.

We met up with a friend living in London on his recommendation (always ask the locals). I had the kerala curry with lamb (£9.45). It says chicken on the menu, but they were able to make the swap, no problem. The lamb was tender and the curry was so flavorful, with wonderful spices and just the right amount of heat (for me). My husband had a spicier dish, but I still found it delicious. Our friend had the jalfrezi, which he said was the best and hottest jalfrezi he's ever had. We also ordered basmati rice (£2.50) and garlic and coriander (cilantro) naan (£2.95) to go along with the curries. The rice was good, but not really necessary because the naan was filling and possibly the best garlic naan I've ever had. It was perfect. So, order more naan instead of rice! Service was good and non-intrusive; make sure you ask for the bill or you'll be sitting there awhile. We made reservations for a weekday at 6:30, but it looked like there were plenty of seats. The restaurant itself was classy, upscale, and nicely decorated. But that doesn't really matter...go for the food!

Talking with the owner, I learned that supply chain issues have affected their menu a bit...but most of my favorites were still there. Chicken kali mirch and saag bhaji are always faves. The lamb chops are great (also the railway lamb curry is a fave). Service is consistently good. Good to know: they don't take Amex. Can't wait to return.

Prices reflected accordingly to being a hotel restaurant and thus higher than the standard high street Chinese food. Part of the Dorsett hotel outside Shepard's bush Green. Four stars is for the appetizer and general ambiance. The Lychee mojito with fresh lychee was a refreshing drink, but somewhat pricey given it's non-alcoholic. The sesame prawn on toast was the highlight of the meal, the best of its kind. The hot & sour seafood soup was quite good, a brown color rather than the red style that you sometimes see. Not that much seafood though. This part seems to be a trend here. Because the Seafood fried rice with black truffle sauce didn't have much seafood at all. Very small pieces of chopped shrimp, that way you have no clue how many shrimp they have given you. Then only a few small pieces of white fish. The egg tasted freshly cooked. Overall tasty but I need more seafood than this. The black truffle was spread out specks in the rice, it was not a sauce as advertised. Not really what I pictured at all. The Singapore noodles looks very nicely presented and with 8-9 large shrimp for £10 seems like a bargain, but it's very oily and no spice at all. And then the dish wasn't warm enough. It's too bad because it's a very nice place for dinner and the staff are quite good too. Ended the meal with Green tea creme brulee. The green tea is like a paste and not too sweet, the way I like it. I'm getting more and more keen on green tea desserts, maybe its an acquired taste for some. They also have black sesame ice cream which sounds interesting.

Great Asian fusion restaurant if you're after something healthy and filling!…read more One of my favourite dishes here is the Bananatree laksa, a warming bowl of creamy coco-nutty broth with the option of adding chicken, prawns or coriander meatballs (vegetarian option). I also really like the bun bo chicken salad bowl which is crunchy, healthy and full of flavour. They have a nice variety of fresh juices too. The first time I met a friend here for dinner and it was super busy- we had to queue for about 15 minutes. Once we were seated the food came out quickly. I've also been for lunch a couple of times which was less busy and better value for money, although the service was slower due to an influx of lunchtime deliveroo orders. Overall this place is a really great option if you're after a heathy and filling meal priced at around £10 per person.
