The Parlour: Summed up in single word

Harrow Observer — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMT

AS WE were running for the last Tube my friend just shouted one word over her shoulder... ‘Delicious!’ Although I had hoped she would produce a witty, insightful and succinct 300-word summary of our dinner at Parlour in Kensal Green, she got it exactly right when I asked her for her opinion on the meal, and managed to make the train.

Carvosso's gets top marks

Harrow Observer — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT

THIS former police station in the heart of Chiswick rings all the right bells. Deceptively small from the outside, it opens into a large restaurant and bar and spacious courtyard, with plenty of patio heaters, which could be the reason it was packed.

THIS small restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside but once through the doors we were treated to friendly service, a warm atmosphere and very good food.

My girlfriend and I were taking a good friend out for dinner for helping us move into our new home and we wanted to find somewhere he would really enjoy.

Quantus hits the mark for food and atmosphere

Harrow Observer — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 23:00:00 GMT

ONE of the meanings of Quantus is ‘how great’ and this was no idle boast. The food was almost faultless, the ambience superb and the service friendly without being servile.

Malina not quite there yet

Harrow Observer — Thu, 03 May 2012 23:00:00 GMT

A fried surprise on Italian menu

Harrow Observer — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT

AFTER a hard day's shopping in Portobello Road, spending money I don't have on things I don't need, I had worked up quite a hunger. I was showing a friend the sights, and we decided to go to High Street Kensington for dinner, happy to drop into the first place we came across, as long as it wasn't a McDonald's.

A collection of Indian delights

Harrow Observer — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

WHAT better way to beat the winter blues, and a stinking cold, than with a fiery curry? After trekking through the snow from West Brompton Tube station, we were certainly given a warm welcome at Thali, a north Indian restaurant in Old Brompton Road.
