Cinnamon Kitchen - a fab location for dinner away from chaos of Liverpool Street

Cinnamon Kitchen has a great Anise bar and wonderful food produced by Abdul and his team. Excellent, attentive service, particularly from Daniela in the bar, Monalisa (Reservations Co-ordinator), and Andreas and Joao in the restaurant.

Perfect balance of spices and flavours in all the dishes, especially loved the Tilapia starter and the buffalo milk kulfi was a hit with our table.

Will be back again soon as we thoroughly enjoyed it, and I have converted my friends to Indian food. Thank you Cinnamon Kitchen!

Cinnamon Kitchen - Tweet, Meet and Eat

We had a wonderful fun evening, organised by Stella (Events Co-ordinator at Cinnamon Club), tweeting about what was happening during the evening as it happened, like enjoying Cinnamon Berry bellinis made by Daniela and her colleagues, tucking into lamb shish kebab naan rolls made by Abdul and his team, and listening to an interesting spice talk by Abdul. We will definitely be coming back soon!

Funky Asia - a cool Pan Asian restaurant near Liverpool Street Station

Funky Asia was an interesting place to visit. Service was pleasant - did not feel rushed to make food or drinks selection. The Pad Priew Wan (Chicken) was good but slightly too sweet for my taste. My friend had a vegetable stir fry which I was told was good.  Thought, if it was not for the 50% off food bill offer on Toptable, this place I think is overpriced for the food that is served. Overall, good food and service. Worth visiting if in the area for a quick meal.

Benito's Hat - Oxford Circus

Ben and his team always make us welcome & steak burritos are nice, plus esp on colder days like last week their new cinnammon coffee is a real pick-me up (& only 50p). Will be back esp to Oxford Circus branch.

The Table, London

The Table Cafe, London, is a lovely place, very casual with wooden benches and tables. Our NZ server was super sweet and comped us an extra dessert of ice cream, sadly the salted caramel was a bit too salty for me. But on the whole the food is great, with unusual ingrediants like black potatoes. My onglet steak was delicious and not at all chewy, as this cut can sometimes be, testimony to good cooking. Their  head chef is leaving, hope this place stays just as good! Live jazz too sat/fri nights.

Bistro The Walk, Potters Bar

The Bistro on The Walk has a nice bright, warm atmosphere with pleasant, welcoming, helpful and attentive management and staff. Lovely fresh crusty bread and butter were served whilst we decided on what we were ordering from the dinner menu. The feedback from my group was that all the food was tasty, well presented and decent sized portions. I particularly enjoyed the starter of Turkish Spicy sausage which came with a mixed salad garnish, and main of fillet of sea bream which came perfectly cooked served on a bed of mashed potato and superb saffron cream - served with a nice suprise garnish of a rolled piece of smoked salmon and a mixed salad. Also, others adviced that the lambs liver; aubergine, courgettes and mixed peppers; boeuf bourgignon; and kleftico were all very good and perfectly cooked. French fries I heard were excellent, but they could not finish the portion - their eyes had got too big when they saw the choice of mains + sides. Save room for dessert - the Tiramisu, Apple Tart Tatin and the Banoffee Pie were all fab ends to a wonderful meal. Reasonable prices. We will be back very soon!!!
