Caribbean restaurant in a good location. Love the food - got to try their roti filled with either chicken curry, prawns, vegetable curry or curry goat. Their mac and cheese is something that should be purchased. Their oxtail and rice and peas is also...

Comfort food. Good to go in those winter months when craving noodle soup. Loved their salt n pepper squid.
DanDan Restaurant - Sichuan Cuisine in Aldgate
Phat Phuc has that tucked-away street-food feel, which makes it such a great find. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the waiter was very friendly. My favourite dish is the Prawn Laksa - incredibly flavorful and perfect for the winter.

Love Malaysian food and their Nasi Goreng is packed with so much flavour. Customer service is good and they were willing to replace meat with tofu.
GOPAL'S CORNER, London - 191 Victoria St, Westminster
Many options to choose which Asian food stall to eat from. Serves big portions - so best to share with those you visit with or bring your containers if you don't want to spend an extra £.50p for a container.
Bang Bang Oriental Foodhall
Great hotpot spot to go when you are craving something warm during the winter or whenever 😉
