"luce e limoni is a beautiful restaurant. it is a stunning creation filled with ploughly sitting opportunities and several gorgeous huge crystal drop chandeliers hanging straight out of the wide range. but instead of looking glamorous, the vintage touches like the old pictures of the Sicilian lemons on the walls, and the rustic floor length weinregal add a dash of class and tradition to the restaurant. the beauty of the restaurant is matched by the botschaft behind the kitchen. the owner fabrizio zafarana serves local Sicilian cuisine and goes back to its roots by embraced its traditional ingredients and recipes. in the did, the name itself refers to the light and the lemons on the island zafarana. the menu is extensive and full of seasonal Sicilian dishes, of which I have not seen far on the menus in london. next to the warm broth basket and the olives to begin, I ordered the Brat eggplant with the melting pecorino cheese, tomato and mint leaves. this was a delicious, well-sized starter that reminded me of moussaka due to his presentation. my brothers tried the meerrot kings scallops with sawn from flower cabbage and sardelles, from which the scallops were divine, as well as the creamy mozzarella cheese with Sicilian caponata, which is a simple but well combined. for the most important courses luce e limoni has a large selection including sections for pastas, risottos, meat and fish. after a lot of consulting I decided for pumpkin gnocchi with pistachio sauce and early baptism. this was again a great flavor-style with many delicious taste layers in it. my brothers tried grilled thunfish steak with grilled red pfeffer and swirling and baked hard fish in broth crust, crumble and pecorino cheese, with spicy fresh tomato salsa and fennel burl. hard fish is a rare dish to find on a menu in london, but luce e limoni serves it well and with its traditional Sicilian roots in understood. Although I had not much space for dessert, it was much too tempting and so ended the order of pistachio semifreddo with Sicilian melone geleee, which arrived as a heavy but well balanced dish. we also sniff in our meal with the hot chocolate fondante with hazelnut, which was a divine dessert and cassatina siciliana, a delicious traditional cake-like Sicilian creation. it is obvious that every court here is carefully created to represent real Sicilian aromes. In addition, they also have weeping from the artisan producers of the island, who through with their authentic thema. I could afford seconds: luce e limoni serves high quality food and the prices reflect this. their starters cost approx. £10, which is an expensive starter, but the quantities are large enough to justify this. the most important courses ranging from £10 to £15 and dessert are sufficient prices to about £6. they are not the cheapest Sicilian restaurant, but the prices are quite the quality of the kitchen they use. overall: I was very impressed by luce e limoni. the Sicilian cuisine was delicious and well made and the decor is stunning yet low key. in addition, all staff members are very friendly, committed and knowledgeable about the food they were served, which is always a bonus. this seems a popular location for locals and those in the know, and it is a restaurant that I also return."

"Nestled in a tranquil laneway in Fitzrovia, this unassuming family run restaurant has been quietly and consistently cooking up some of the most incredible mouth watering North Indian dishes. Having returned to this place on an almost weekly basis since discovering it in early November 2023 and brought many friends (including incredibly picky eaters) to try it out their food will have you licking your plate(s) clean and raving endlessly. Very good prices particularly given the impressive quality and excellent quantity of food in addition to the amount of items on offer on the menu, so is a fantastic option for all. I have been repeatedly ordering a number of their chicken dishes (particularly the Chicken Dopiazza with Pilau Rice) already and the chicken is always very tender and perfectly seasoned. If you possess naturally low spice tolerance levels, Agra does offer plenty of succulent mild options too including (and certainly not limited to) their Chicken Korma and Butter Chicken dishes. Their desserts (particularly the mango kulfi) are delightfully delectable too, particularly if you are wanting to cool your burning mouth down after a spicy main. Very friendly owner who greets every guest with a welcoming smile and polite wait staff who all provide highly efficient service. Will undoubtedly continue going there for as long as I can and (slowly) get through their entire menu. There is a reason (or many reasons, perhaps) why this restaurant has been around for so long."

"my hubby and children went there first to get a table around 19:30 clock and so happy we booked in advance for 7:45 clock as the place was so busy. so busy on a Tuesday night! we didn't order anything raw when we got little kids. and the food bill came to £66.20 and drinks (including only a few sakes) at £40... first the big Japanese waitress was not so friendly, and when we order, we show her the menu and say we want this to please, she replied, I can't read it. okay, I tried to announce my best. Yes, the place. then I said I like to place black cadjau, she said no, no black cadjau. So I said I came from leicester, for the black cod with a big smile on my face. said it easy and she waitress no answer, at all she was not friend, and very cold. Not sure whether it was busy or maybe she challenged eating wisely, my fav was the cold soba and second was the fried udon. We had fish jet that was strange, no taste and chewing gum and the tofu absolutely no taste, can be less ass and early as possible grilled spies set a. taste so. a very soft and juicy and raw. I would say medium. some chicken super hard and dried. the ochsenzunge x2, it was okay. but my hubby didn't say it worth it. over all grilled spits was something to burn. small wood charcoal okay, but too much they can only cost the bitter coal. butter mushroom I wish they don't squeeze any lemon as they ruin it for me. it was good until they taste the sour lemon int he butter mushroom. coks in large pint glass and apple juice in half pint. the man who worked at the bank was very friendly and smiling, I think he is also Japanese. they have no normal bill, it was a buck of hand written, and I had no idea what they are overall. it was ok experience, better than the stick and sushi we had in cambridge with similar price. we can't go back soon."
