It's been closed for nine months after a fire last July but now Jun Tanaka's The Ninth is getting ready to make a comeback (cue Rocky music).

... - Honey & Co is closing on Warren Street after a decade
Sad news hits today about the imminent closure of what's become a London institution. Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer have announced that they'll be closing their much-loved restaurant Honey & Co in April.

Speaking about the closure, Itmar said; "Sadly the time

... - Goila Butter Chicken will be Carousel's first long-term residency
If your game was really good during lockdown you might have been lucky enough to try a delivery from Goila Butter Chicken. Mumbai-based celebrity chef Saransh Goila has - and these are their words - "single-handedly turned butter chicken into a religion in India". His secret?
