From Putney to Kings Cross

Saturday, May 09th , 2026

The Yellow Bittern is a quirky Irish restaurant near Kings Cross. It served only a fixed menu, only takes cash, and the wine list is only partly written up, on a blackboard. The food is simple and no attempt is made at cheffy presentation, but the food was wholesome and enjoyable enough.

Raaz is an Indian restaurant in Putney. It has only been open four months and was already on its third head chef, so unsurprisingly this meal was not particularly inspiring. The cooking was erratic, with some entirely pleasant dishes but also some real errors, like some wildly overcooked prawns.
