From East Sheen to Piccadilly

Saturday, April 13th , 2024

Black Salt in East Sheen is the younger sister of Dastaan and generally cooks the recipes of the mothership. There was a superb new dish tonight in the form of stone bass tikka, while classic dishes like the pepper prawns and kale bhajias were as good as ever.

The Ritz is a restaurant that I am constantly drawn back to. It really is the complete package, with its grand 1906 dining room, superb classical cooking based on high-quality ingredients, and slick service to match. A new dish of crab is pictured, and tasted as good as it looks. There is no better restaurant in London.
