Restaurant Reviews

42 Electric Boulevard, Nine Elms, London SW11 8BJ

Dishoom's first restaurant in South London, this sees them right next door to the power station, featuring a design blending Bombay nostalgia with futurism. As ever, the food pays homage to the Irani cafés and the food of all of Bombay. Classic dishes like bacon naan and House Black Daal will be available with a few dishes unique to this location. Booking is only allowed before 5.45pm so expect queues after and you're able to bring your dog too, in a not to the nearby dog's home.

Numbing Pork Wontons are also available.

53 Shaftesbury Ave, London W1D 6LB

Once a pop-up, Singaporean restaurateur Ellen Chew is relaunching Singapulah, this time teaming up with the Singapore tourism board. Behind a "secret" door, you'll find the restaurant which features classics like Bak Chor Mee, Singapore Laksa, and Mao Shan Wang Durian.

20 Arlington St, St. James's, London SW1A 1RJ

Taking over the site that was once Le Caprice, Jeremy King's Arlington is Le Caprice 2.0 in all but name. It's the restaurant that launched King's career and it launched his own restaurant group too. Expect a look that harkens back to the classic Le Caprice but shiny and up to date as well as some of the classic dishes from the original, like the iced berries in white chocolate sauce. It's a great place for a star-spot too.
