About the restaurant

A stunning restaurant just off of London’s well beaten track, Café Amisha is a local favourite bringing together urban styling with rustic food in a clever and harmonious way. Deep colours and dim lighting provide Café Amisha with an intimate atmosphere perfectly lending itself to romantic meals, while the addition of cosy Chesterfield settees and a well-stocked bar means that this is the kind of place in which to enjoy a full night with friends too. Attention to detail is important to Café Amisha’s management and their philosophy shines through not only in impeccable service but in the restaurant’s own blend of modern creative and traditional and authentic Italian dishes.

About the restaurant

Homely, informal, rustic - family business since 1995 ❤️️
Pappa Ciccia provides classically delicious Italian food to the locals of Fulham. It’s not an easy crowd to please, spoilt by any number of great neighbourhood eateries, but here at Pappa Ciccia, the cosy atmosphere and unfussy food keep diners coming back time and again. This restaurant is ideal for leisurely lunches and laid-back dinners, offering efficient but friendly service and a fantastic menu of typically Italian dishes. Pappa Ciccia’s pizzas receive much praise from the press and public for their authenticity. This restaurant offers a BYOB policy with a very affordable flat one-off corkage charge of £5.95 per person, we are also fully licenced with a good selection of Italian wine and beers

Nice restaurant, nice ambient, delicious/freshly prepared food, very friendly (a bit forgetful) staff (had to ask 3x for tap water). We had a really great time.

Bombay Palace - London

Marble Arch

About the restaurant

Regionally inclined Punjabi cuisine is the main draw at this incongruously located Indian (one of eight branches worldwide), pitched beneath a vast block of flats. Having undergone a major refurbishment, the restaurant has emerged with a polished bar area decked out in dark walnut, while the dining room has been brightened up with cream walls, rich gold fabrics and statement glass chandeliers giving off a warm glow. Dishes on the revamped menu are absolutely faultless – witness crisp shreds of okra fried in the lightest of batters, perfect mouthfuls of tandoor-grilled chicken tikka, and juicy jumbo prawns expertly roasted in a clay oven. Regional specialities, such as nalli gosht (slow-cooked lamb shank and saffron curry, from the city of Lucknow) also delight, although prices are firmly attuned to the luxurious postcode.

I took my younger niece here for a celebratory birthday dinner, as she loves sushi. The food was delicious, very fresh and well proportioned, the staff delightful, and having given the nod when booking, created a birthday plate out of her Moochi, accompanied by acknowledgment of this by the staff. It’s fair to say that although the lighting is ambient and charming the restaurant does feel a little pared-back in design, but that is probably true to the Japanese aesthetic. The pricing is mid to upper, but the quality is definitely reflected by that. I would certainly recommend this restaurant, and Queens Park is extremely fortunate to have it.

We had a really wonderful time. The food was great and my 8 year old niece absolutely loved it. Staff were really lovely and friendly and made my niece feel very special. My only minor point would be that we did have to wait a little while to be served initially and to have top-ups. But I highly recommend!
