The place is very good in many ways: .The food is great, everything is super well prepared and filling. .The service was very good, the waitress was very kind to us at all times. Of course (and I don't know if it's because it's not done in Spain) the amount of the "service" seemed a little expensive to us. The location is phenomenal, next to Kensington Gardens and the Natural History Museum. In addition, the interior atmosphere of the bar is beautiful with numerous photos of the Princess of Wales. If I go back to London I would go there without any problem, it's very good.😌😁

Frankly speaking, I felt very uncomfortable. I went in the morning when there weren't many people around, but when I stopped the waitress to order, she asked me what it was. I ended up being ignored like that. Also, even though I was still at my seat, they placed new forks and knives and prepared the next one. When I was with other white people, I would leave completely and then prepare for the next thing. It's better not to go there because Asians will be discriminated against. The worst was a Turkish-looking woman with acne scars. I ordered English breakfast, but it was normal. I ordered lemon tea for my drink, but it came with a herbal tea bag inside. It wasn't what I expected, so I checked with the nasty waitress and was told it was lemon tea. I'm still skeptical even now.

Entré para salir del frío y era encantador y cálido, disfruté de un chocolate caliente a un precio muy razonable, este es sin duda un lugar que el turista probablemente busca si están en la caza real ... . Y hay muchas fotos encantadoras de la difunta princesa de Gales cubriendo las paredes, una de ella realmente se sentó dentro del café, ¡para que pueda sentarse donde se sentó! Está muy cerca del palacio de Kensington, así que probablemente estaba de visita porque era amable, pero rezo para que no usara el inodoro mientras estaba allí, totalmente decepcionado el lugar.

Overpriced, staff not so friendly, and added £4 to my bill without consulting me. I assume it’s for service charge, but on the menu it clearly stated ‘service charge not included’. Will not be returning.

We had an amazing time at Café Diana! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and manager. The atmosphere is truly unique and emotional, with the beautiful photos of Princess Diana adding a special touch to the decor. The food was exceptional—high-quality and full of flavor. The mezze and meat dishes were particularly delicious, perfectly seasoned, and prepared with care. The service was impeccable; the team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. Shukran jazilan! We will definitely return on our next visit to London. شكراً جزيلاً على الاستقبال الرائع والأكل اللذيذ!

Don't go! Or if you go just take a look at the walls, take some pics and leave. I paid 15£ for two juices. Before seating, I asked the waitrose if they had iced coffee, and she said yes. Another waiteose came to take the order and told me they didn't have iced coffee, we asked for a mango and orange juice, and they didn't have mango. Finally, we ordered two apple and orange juices and an avocado toast. 2 minutes later, another waitrose came saying they didn't have avocado. We just have those juices and leave paying 15 POUNDS!

The place is very interesting for its tribute to Diana. But the service was terrible, it took a long time for us to be served, we asked for salt and they forgot to bring it. Regarding the food, I ordered scrambled eggs and a type of juice from the menu that was carrot with fruit. The egg came in pure oil full of frying bubbles, and the juice tasted like poorly treated tap water. Unfortunately, I got really sick and ended up getting food poisoning, plus the bathroom was extremely dirty…

Queríamos sentarnos a comer como lo hemos estado haciendo durante años, pero nos dijeron que las mesas exteriores estaban reservadas solo para fumadores! No queríamos fumar. ¡Ninguno de los dos ha fumado! Más tarde volvimos a pasar y era evidente que la gente estaba en mesas afuera comiendo en lugar de fumando. Así que nuestro patrocinio de 15 años de este lugar tristemente ha llegado a su fin.

I don’t know if they position themselves as a Turkish place but I just want to say that it is not the best place for meaty dishes/service or atmosphere. The taste is just not there. The service could have been more welcoming and useful: this is not customers responsibility to deal with issues of your facilities (especially before using it). Now atmosphere: it felt like the staff doesn’t care and also like there usually is someone (like an owner or a manager) who interacts with people better and makes this place alive but he/she wasn’t there when we came maybe, I don’t know. Something was missing, it was soulless if I may say. That’s the feeling I had. Overall, I wouldn’t come there again BUT I definitely recommend this place for the experience: this place is kind of unique and you cannot argue with that. Visit the place, feel the presence of Diana if you can, try some food (because it’s polite to order something if you are visiting and maybe you will like it much more than I did). Definitely recommend for visiting.

Too bad coffee, unpleasant staff and worst of all... very very dirty, we couldn't even go into the bathroom as it was. Since it is an emblematic place for what it represents of Diana and we went expressly because one of our group is a fan of her, they could keep the restaurant clean and be a little nicer, at the end of the day you go there to live the experience of being surrounded by her photos and knowing that she was going there for breakfast… I don't recommend it at all and it's also quite expensive.

Walking through the streets of Kensington, its easy to feel like theres somebody missing. She's on all the signs, statues and memorials everywhere, yes I'm speaking about the queen of our hearts: Lady Diana Spencer. Luckily, there's somewhere that keeps her memory alive, and my adoration of her can match the adoration of the café that holds her namesake. I had a fantastic full breakfast here. Had all the works and the staff had the same star quality and dedication as the lady herself. Theres a cheeky wee shisha spot outside if you feel like it, reflecting the Princess of Wales' rebellious streak. I'll always make a point to visit when I'm in London, a proper reminder of the beauty of the past, and a beacon of light to make what she believed in come true. RIP 1961 - 1997 Always in our hearts, living on in this splendid little café. 5 stars!

A stone's throw from Hyde Park, nestled in the streets of Notting Hill, this little café immerses us in an atmosphere filled with nostalgia. So when it comes to cooking, it’s clearly not the strong point. It's still okay considering the price.
