Good Indian food should make you sweat, burp, and get those endorphins going. Good Indian food will find a way to make you smile, without ever having to force a rictus grin. And, at Potli, I encountered this elusive experience. This place delivered what it promised, unlike so many other restaurants.

Burrata is to mozzarella as foie gras is to pate. Nick Harman tries a four course menu focussed on this most deliciously decadent of cheeses.

In general Lounge Lover looks like the interior of Mark Anthony “Baz” Luhrmann’s mind, a riot of camp, colour and devil may care eccentricity with small private rooms tucked exotically away off the main drag.

Pescatori is special in an unshowy way. The people who eat there are eating for pleasure, not because it’s this week’s must eat place, and that’s how restaurants in London used to be.

As a confirmed curryhouse critic, I’m holding out hope that this award-winning venue will make me meekly swallow my pride along with some stunning fodder.

ith the media continuously hiring people that put an emphasis on the importance of being trendy, it’s refreshing to visit a place that’s cool without even trying,  Marcus thinks.
