A little gem, you can usually get a table for lunch even in peak weekend shopping hours due to its well hidden entrance. The ever changing art work they display is a little bit hit and miss but provides a conversation point either way. Watch out for the gents loos though, not the most well kept in London for sure…

Ideal for a quick cheap bite on the go but unlike the alternative fast food options this place is friendly, the food is fresh and tasty, its licensed and even better they obviously considered the design of the place when kitting it out. Love the little Lucha Libre wrestler faces dotted around, a great addition to the area.

Very convenient as a pre/post-theatre drinking venue in the heart of west end theatre land. It is also on the sunny side of the street in the summer months but unfortunately no official outdoor area which would give it an extra star. But you can sit in the window and catch some rays over a pint or two. Nice.

Pros and cons to this place. Ordered a take away so can’t make any comment on the service or ambience of the restaurant although I have walked pask a few times and it looks very cosy inside.
Pro, the food was lovely, not one of those places that supplies meat lumps in gloopy sauces of varying shades of luminous orange. The dishes were fragrant and you could taste the different spices, not overwhelmingly hot either. Con, the dish sizes were quite small, we ordered quite generously for three people and polished it off far too easily. Pro, you won’t feel like a big fat jabba after you’ve stuffed yourself rotten on giant portions. Con, isn’t that what ordering an Indian take away is all about?!??

I just popped into Westfiled the other day to check out tha tail end of the sales (got a really nice bag FYI!) and ended up grabbing a quick lunch at this place.
Now the food court at Westfield isn’t like the shopping centres of days gone by, no Burger King, no soggy baked potatoes, but instead some actual edible food! What a novelty.
But anyway, I wondered lonely as a cloud, checking out the various options available to me and stumbled across this little gem. I’d ruled it our previously as the queues were too much to bear but it was a quiet weekday so I popped along to check out the menu.
In the end I settled on a soup of the day: Garbure. Never heard of it before but it was so so good! Real actual food, a proper stock based soup full of duck meat and veges, I could have been in a provincial French town it was so good. It was actually the highlight of the day (better than my bargain shopping finds even!)
So, my lesson has been learned, don’t judge a book by its cover, just because it is in a shopping centres food hall, don’t mean its not worth eating there. Mmmmmm, soup, I’m going back for more…
