Customer Reviews
Absolutely incredible. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in London. Everything tasted exceptional. Don’t miss out on the bread and biltong as that was the perfect way to start our meal. The service was also great. The dining was lovely we sat outside in their garden and it felt like you were abroad. The sea. bass and lamb were insanely good. Absolutely loved it all and will be going back.
Great place for a fine dining experience. The food was fresh and tasty and served quickly. The bill did come to quite a bit more than we'd hoped for as the waiters recommend having a few dishes each.
Absolutely incredible meal at Kudu. We arrived early for our table and were seated for some drinks first. This was great as it gave us chance to look through the menu and take in the atmosphere. The staff were very attentive, friendly and welcoming which complements the cosy and energised feeling of the place. We took our seats at the bar and really enjoyed the interaction with the chefs. They prepared the beautiful food with passion and ease whilst maintaining a feeling of calm. Again very friendly and welcoming. The food…….. Biltong - delicious. Bread with both butters- incredible, we ordered another bread, it was that good. Chicken wings- tender and chargrilled beautifully at the same time. Carrots- Amazing. Raddicio salad with pear- Fresh and full of flavour Onglet - Cooked to perfection, beautiful beef reduction gravy/sauce, truffle mousse, mushrooms that were sweet and crispy in a great way, cabbage chargrilled, which tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. We squeezed in a pudding of chocolate ganache, very flavourful and the perfect end to the meal. Lovely champagne and wine. Seeing the effort that goes into the food and feeling the care from staff, I think this restaurant offers so much. No photos, we were enjoying ourselves too much! Absolutely unforgettable meal!
We had a wonderful experience for my partner’s birthday at what we think is one of the best restaurants in London. It is a bit pricey (£190 for cocktails, wine and three courses for two) but the food is out of this world. The service is fab and the ambience is very intimate. I’d definitely recommend for a special occasion.
