    “Nieves Barragan manages to bridge homeliness and comfort with elegance in the most incredibly wonderful way. She makes things feel modern without them feeling forced. Her food is full of personality, incredibly elegant, and absolutely delicious. My favourite place there is the counter. I like sitting there and just watching that kitchen.”

    “they exemplify what I love most about the London food scene - they are passionate about doing one thing really, really well. They make them fresh and they make the most gorgeous broths. There's you just four things on the menu.”

    “This is the most incredibly exciting place, plus it's so affordable for anybody's pocket. Chef Sacha Henry comes from a Punjabi Indian heritage and he's also English, so his food spans across all of those points of the globe. Order the cauliflower and cheese paratha. You literally can't believe what you're eating, the paratha is perfectly flakey; the cauliflower cheese is buttery; the chilli punches through.”
