The best restaurants in Church Street City of London, Westminster London

We live in Nottingham which has a distinct lack of good Egyptian food and being a mixed Egyptian/English family we really miss it. Whilst on short break in London we searched online for Egyptian food near our hotel and this place came up and we decided to give it a try. From the outside it is an unassuming backstreet takeaway, but they do have a small dining area in the basement. Don't be put off by the places appearance as the food is fantastic and such good value. I would say the kofta kebab is probably the best I have had in the UK and the lamb and okra was melt in the mouth. Salads also fresh and super tasty. Only tiny critisisam is that the rice was plain basmati and not Egyptian style. Wish we could have tried more things on the menu and will definitely be back next time we are in London.

I went to this really nice place , it has a newly fresh looking decorative interior. The Arabic music is good , the chef Hussain made an amazing grill chicken meal for me . I will be going back to try his gourmet burgers , try Zayona 2 .. really good . It has an shisha garden at back very cool

Solía vivir cerca y fue el primer restaurante turco al que fui para llevar en la zona y desde entonces me he enganchado. Soy muy fan de las alitas de pollo, especialmente las barbacoas (o ahora conocidas como chargrilled), así que cuando descubrí que este restaurante las hace cuando caminé un día camino a KFC decidí probar esto en su lugar para una opción más “saludable”. Como con cualquier otro restaurante turco venden cordero a la parrilla, pollo, pescado y kebabs picados, y también guisos diarios. Nunca probé otra cosa ya que mi favorita son las alitas de pollo. Ya sea para llevar o sentarse, sirven sus comidas con un poco de pan y ensalada como acompañamiento y el principal con una mezcla de arroz bulgar rojo / blanco con mis alas. Me mudé de la zona por un tiempo y este día he estado en la zona y decidí visitar de nuevo. Las alitas de pollo con el pan, la ensalada y el arroz permanecen exactamente como las recordé. Parrillada a la perfección y llena de favor.

I cannot recommend this small Indian restaurant enough! We had an excellent meal, very friendly service and went home deeply satisfied! If you enjoy the posher places this might not be the right place for you… but if you prefer authentic, simple and aromatic Indian food for a very fair price this will make you happy!

I recently visited The Globe and loved the cosy atmosphere & excellent selection of drinks. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Amazing atmosphere great service I would highly recommend

The hospitality, the generous portions of complimentary soup, bread and dips is definitely something that you don't see in many restaurants. To top it all the lip-smacking large Mixed Grill that just makes the whole experience heavenly, delicious and delightful. Highly recommend this place, but be prepared to wait as they are quite popular and busy.

One of the best fried Cod and chips I had in London. Hardly any oil in it and it tasted superb.

Amazing Christmas Dinner Experience! Last week, my family and I had an incredible Christmas dinner at Zonzo Restaurant. We had made a booking a while ago and were so excited to come here together. The food was absolutely delicious, with great flavors and high quality. The atmosphere was lively and bustling, which added to the festive spirit. We had such a wonderful time, and I want to express my gratitude to the manager and the entire team at Zonzo for making this evening so special. Everything was perfect, and we truly appreciate the effort they put into making it such an enjoyable experience. Thank you so much!

I love this restaurant - charming atmosphere, amazing and authentic food. Sadly it hasn't been open for a while now, perhaps even since Covid in 2020. Does anyone have any news or an update? I'd love for this gem of a restaurant to open up again.

Our work Xmas meal. 25 people. Festive menu. Dont book festive menu! You will go hungry! Sadly we didn't realise this meant sharing ALL courses! This wouldn't be so bad if there was enough food. There wasn't. We had a mix (though some of us only saw 2 types of humus and one French beans) starters only 3 times which meant three tiny bowls had to be shared between c8 people at a time! The mains was worse..3 small tagines of salmon (hardly any fresh salmon in the small tagine) on top of rice, another of chicken, and meat where i experienced a minced meat kofta that was so tough I gave up after two bites. Each tagine was set on bed of rice meaning less meat/chicken/fish/veg to 'share'! Only tiny bowls of more rice accompanied this! We all had hardly any food on our plates and were nit given spoons to serve it but! Has to ask by which time we used our fork to get tiny amounts of food as you can imagine. noone wants to complain when the company are paying and i feel restaurants know this. Worst part of all this con is that I worked out the festive menu at £29 is saving each person only c£3-4! Go look and work out for yourself. Average starter is £6-7 main is £20 max, pudding £6-7 = 32-£33 . The difference is that we would all have got our OWN starter and our OWN main course! Huge difference! HUGE! The dessert was the biggest con. At £29 for 3 courses and seeing the normal dessert for baklava was c£6..they brought us one 'cube of baklava on a toothpick each😵. Yes! 8 one inch cubes on sticks per 8 people! Absolute con. Would not return if you paid me to. We left hungry and conned.👎👎😡

Fantastic afternoon celebrating a birthday catered for 40 family members. Food was fantastic, tasty and authentic, I was really pleased that it was served hot and without any hiccups. Huge thanks to the restaurant owner, we practically took over the restaurant and the other customers enjoyed taking part in the celebrations. Thanks to Ali and the staff who worked really hard to ensure we had a great time. It was also great that there is free parking on Sundays just outside. Thanks Lahori, will definitely be back!

I went this place with my father who was here for a visiting trip. we loved it. quality of food were very good , all kind of appetizers and main and drink appeared to be right in our taste.
