“ One of my best food experiences in London. The owner takes pride in every single dish he serves. Everything is made from scratch and you can tell by the incredible flavors in each dish. The highlight of our meal was the meat board although really every appetizer we ordered was so damn good. If you're looking for an elevated kosher experience in London I highly recommend you try this place. ”
“ Fantastic steak and chips with a nice salad. Staff were kind and just the right amount of attentive. Would definitely come again! ”
“ As a regular visitor to London who does not eat treife I try to go to a kosher restaurant whenever i am in town . Ben and his team have succeeded in providing a very high standard quality and variety of food . I have also attended a couple of charity events held in aid of Yad Sarah [a worthy cause] and had a wonderful meal and entertainment . I recently had a takeaway which was excellent . Only one criticism which is general for all UK kosher ribs , why are they always so fatty . The American kosher ribs I have had on a recent cruise had little fat . I would be willing to pay a Donald tariff if kosher ribs could be imported from the USA ! Lastly Ashbourne's chips get 9/10 which is a high mark it would have been 10/10 if the portion had been larger ! Good luck to Ben and his team ”
“ We enjoyed till the sky form this place! The service was one in the world and the environment was so nice! It was on Valentine’s Day and the had a guitar player there. It was really amazing and exciting! Thanks so much!! And the waiters were very friendly and polite! Definitely will visit again! ”
“ Found this place after my wife's graduation. Service was amazing food was even better. Had both my kids and they thoroughly enjoyed it the popcorn chicken was a highlight and the lamb chops were delicious. Shame we live all the way in Portsmouth other wise this would become a regular visit highly recommend. (didn't post picture of popcorn chicken as i didn't wanted to spoil it) ”
“ We had a great time here. The chips were so good we ordered 4 of them. I loved the arancini. We all enjoyed the aged steaks but my favorite dish was the lamb cutlets. They were awesome. It was a pleasure having Tony as our waiter; he was friendly and knew what he was doing. Great service. One of the most interesting parts of this experience for me was when I got to speak to the mashgiach about the meat. He explained the meat aging process to me. I understand why aged meat is so much more expensive... ”
“ Really excellent food, such creative and exciting dishes what a refreshing kosher restaurant, lively and vibey. Taster menu is fantastic value with proper portions sizes. Don’t miss the duck salad! 11/10 would definitely recommend ”
“ Absolutely 5 star. Yan, our waiter was a real pleasure, very helpful, attentive, and humerus throughout - the decor is lovely - and the food... The food is wonderful. The duck has set the standard for what duck should be like, and make sure you leave room for desert. The rhubarb crumble was amazing. Can't wait to return. ”
