The Rivoli is used every Friday night for the filming of Justin Lee Collins' Good Times show. It might give people an idea of the lovely old decor if you watch the show.

Babur is the best Indian Restaurant I have been to in London. Babur named 'London’s best inexpensive restaurant’ - Harden’s 2009. The restaurant has a lovely ambience created by wood panels with huge cut outs behind which recessed lighting hides, pretty stylish as well. The art work is apparently called Kalamkari and is a form of Sanskrit which is very traditional this all manages to blend in with wonderful effect.
The a la carte menu is made up of customer favourites with the lovely touch of monthly changing specials. Sunday has a lunch buffet which is apparently a great way to enjoy the afternoon. Regular food festivals occur in the restaurant including, strangely enough Burns night , and these are famous in their part of London.
The best by far for my agenda is the home-delivery service on their entire restaurant menu. A la carte at home or to impress the visitors ;-) They do have a seperate take away menu as well and apologise in advance for delivery times as everything is cooked from scratch.
A rather impressive wine list with a broad choice and mmmm ! cocktails that are subtle and refreshing. A little piece on pricing from their menu:
“Since opening in 1985, Babur has always had a sensible pricing policy on food and wine. We believe people appreciate value for money and we would rather stay in business than make a quick profit.”This is a very more’ish experience in Indian cuisine.
Sanjit Chudha It was also used as the location for Kate Bush's 'King of the Mountain' video . . . . it's a fantastic place and a real insight into the gloriously decorated world of the 40s and 50s.
