I ate here for lunch today - it's just round the corner from my florist shop.

The food was delicious. A tried the steak sandwich with chips which was hearty, filling and perfectly cooked.

The pub is really nice but it was a little on the quiet side. It only opened recently so it's probably still got to catch on with the locals.

I reckon it will become a real corner-stone pub in a few months once the locals discover it.

They're also offering 10% off food which makes it perfect for a quick bite or indulgant dinner.I ate here for lunch today - it's just round the corner from my florist shop.

Tapas looked like they came from tins... (squid in its own ink, callos, fabada) It's a shame that places like this exist in London! The good thing we ordered spanish ham and chorizo, everything else was very poor. so, we left and walk down to King's Road to La Rueda- a proper spanish tapas.

American Cafe Kebab in Fulham Broadway gave me perhaps the most negative kebab "experience" I have had overall in recent years.
The meat looked very brown so I opted for a slightly fresher looking Lamb Shashlick over the Lamb Shish - the only difference being peppers and onions on the skewer. During the cooking process another member of staff placed some frozen Lamb Kofte in the front display that explained the brown colour of the meat.
When the kebab arrived I asked for lots of Chilli sauce and the server picked up a red bottle (Uh-oh!) and the sauce was thin, sweet and syrupy but fairly hot. Not to my tastes but it did not ruin the kebab as it was not good enough to begin with. The meat was very tough to chew and had little flavour but at least was lean.
The salad was also poor - again hard to chew cabbage and onion. The large pickled chilli peppers were also of a low quality. Cucumber & Pita were OK but could not redeem the kebab in any way.
The chips were quite good though.
Service was acceptable being prompt if not particularly friendly but when they ran out of chopped tomatoes my server made no effort to reach for the whole ones to cut up.

The first time I ate here was over 5 years ago and I was drunk at the time - however today's visit brought back the memory of similarly lousy kebab.
This place has been around for a long time and I recognise one of the staff from years ago but there are now better kebabs to be had close by from 'Best Mangal' OR 'Woody Grill' .American Cafe Kebab in Fulham Broadway gave me perhaps the most negative kebab "experience" I have had overall in recent years.

I think the 'Kebab Kid' COULD have been a truly Excellent Kebab experience but the sauces REALLY let it down.
The Lamb Shish was obviously good quality cubed meat and on a par with such top notch places as 'Dionysus', 'Bosphorus' and 'Brothers Kebabs' in South Ealing.

The salad was an unusual but good 'Italian Leaf'(?) looking affair and the pita was fresh.
The young lady behind the counter offered me "Chilli or BBQ sauce?". Only those two sauces are available. They do not do a garlic sauce/mayo. I did not see a 'Cypressa' style lemon dressing but the salad was dressed. I asked for lots of chilli sauce as I like it hot. She squeezed a thin orange liquid on the top of the kebab. The heat level was fine but the flavour was not. It was sweet and almost ruined a really good shish. The best description I can give is it tasted like Heinz baked bean sauce with added chilli heat and some weird spices I could not recognise. I scraped it off as best I could and tried to enjoy the lamb. The aftertaste made it difficult.
I decided to order a Lamb Schawarma instead (without any sauce) and must admit it was 1st Class and really did taste like a fine English Roast of Lamb.
I did not dare risk the BBQ sauce for fear of it being sickly sweet and kebab ruining!
They have something called Javanese Chicken Wings on the menu so I infer an Oriental influence. I don't like Chinese or Thai Chilli sauces but the ones I have had previously would have been preferable to the Kebab Kid's.

Service was friendly if not particularly fast or knowledgeable. I suggested to the female server a fresh chilli sauce would be most welcome, she smiled and pointed to the red squeezy bottle. The prices were high for the portion sizes but did reflect the area and exceptional quality of the meat. If you fancy a great Schawarma this is your stop if you are in the area - if you want a choice of decent sauces head to nearby '696 Mangal' on Fulham Road for a more traditional Turkish Kebab experience.I think the 'Kebab Kid' COULD have been a truly Excellent Kebab experience but the sauces REALLY let it down.

Bodean's BBQ - BBQ Beef Ribs rule! by AliZebu

I went to this restaurant for ONE reason - they serve BEEF ribs as well as the usual pork.

I used to frequent a London mini-chain called 'Texas Lone Star' and it was the beef ribs that kept me a loyal customer for over a decade, until they all closed down some years ago.

Bodean's Fulham branch really impressed me with the service on my first visit. A friendly welcome, relaxed attitude throughout the evening AND prompt alert, staff made a great first impression.

The Beef BBQ Ribs themselves were very good (Â£10.50 for a half rack with fries & coleslaw) and came off the bone easily but were not quite as good flavour wise as my old favourites. They are still closer than the beef ones in Chicago Rib Shack which are under flavoured to my tastes.
The fries (chips to us Brits!) & 'slaw were both very well done.
I will definitely eat at Bodean's again.

1st Class kebab house!

There are actually 2 Best Mangals - both on North End Road and I have been to both many times. It has a huge Ockabasi (SP?) a traditional Turkish BBQ/Charcoal grill and the meat comes out better than any other kebab I have tasted in the UK. A wonderful smokey flavour. Their Lamb Cop Sis (Chop Shish) is my favourite with smaller cubes, they also have regular shish, but I have tried nearly all the range at different times.

The Doner is more like a Lebanese schwarma, fresh cuts of meat on the upright grill as opposed to a minced meat mis-match and is truly superior to 95% of doner in London. Kofte is not a fave of mine but if you like a smokey and herby "sausage" of a kebab then you are in for a treat. The lamb chops and lamb spare ribs are excellent as well. Chicken shish is smokey and top notch. All in all for the meat my 10/10 score is no exaggeration - you will not find better, period.
Chilli sauce is good but not always consistent in heat. Sometimes it blows my head off and other times it is not hot enough yet I always have the same amount. Garlic sauce is just fine. The bread is unusual in that it is not Pitta but freshly baked "Village Bread" which is more akin to a huge chapati or tortilla and somewhat "floury". It is worth trying but I sometimes go elsewhere just because I miss a regular pitta kebab. They also do a thick "Nan" type bread but it does not fold enough to roll around the kebab. If they did pittas as well I would never go anywhere else. Prices are not cheap at Â£5.50 for my fave chop shish (Â£5 for Lamb donner) but portions are generous and quality is far above most Kebab places so it is not overpriced for take away. If you eat in or have a doner with rice prices are more.

I no longer live in the area but go back fairly regularly for a take away shish.

Having read all of the glowing reviews we made a special visit with some friends (we are the informal Fulham Dining Club) last Saturday evening.

Having failed to make a booking either by telephone (engaged/or voice mail full) or on-line (faulty website) a personal visit was necessary just to make a reservation.

Our unanimous general impression from of our dinner here last Saturday evening was that although the service was friendly it was distinctly amateur. We ordered only one starter and it was an hour before our main course arrived without any explanation or apology for the delay.

The menu was a distinct disappointment as we had been looking forward to a varied selection of game specialities for which we understood they are renown. Furthermore we were not informed of any special dishes which we only discovered after our meal listed on a blackboard near the toilets.

The food was generally unexceptional compared with the fare at The White Horse nearby and other selective restaurants in the vicinity. We did enquire if the head chef was actually in situ and were told that he was indeed in the kitchen.

The draught ale was well kept but the house red which we ordered (at Â£15.50 bottle) was below the standard that we would have expected in this sort of establishment.

We made our feelings known to the waitress who asked if we would be prepared to give them another chance on a further visit which we may consider provided it is easier to make a reservation!Having read all of the glowing reviews we made a special visit with some friends (we are the informal Fulham Dining Club) last Saturday evening.

A burger place with buzzing atmosphere, great staff and no rush. The Hache chefs gave us the most amazing halloumi side, followed by a Hache burger mexicain - delicious salsa and cooling guacamole. Plus a pale rose wine that at Â£12.95 we thought was a real bargain. Plus we could actually book - it's near Sophie's Steakhouse where you can't.A burger place with buzzing atmosphere, great staff and no rush.

The cocktail list is extentive and the wine list stunning, both surprisingly very affordable. Free entry before 10pm and Â£5 on guestlist after, its a quality night out without the pretense and without burning a hole in your pocket!Chateau 6 is Fulham late-night premier venue.

At this friendly neighbourhood resto the staff greet many of their customers by name, and serve up some really tasty food. I've been here countless times now, and my particular favourites include the ChÃ¥ CÃ¡ LÃ£ Vong - a lovely sizzling white fish dish, and the tiger prawns in coconut milk... Yum!!!

Very good value, and right by Fulham Broadway, so a great option if you're planning to catch a movie over at the Vue cinemas.

That 'famous cheese room' others are mentioning is totally worth the visit. After tasting various cheeses you can structure your own cheese and meat platter. It's cold and smelly inside, but it all adds to the atmoshpere. On the other side of the bar is another hidden gem, a wine cellar with glass walls where you can also walk in (with a member of staff - I mean don't just wonder in by yourself:) and they let you taste and choose wine adding info about every bottle, region, grape, etc.

My boyfriend and I went to megans for breakfast. The cafe is really nice and has a nice little garden, we were glad we found it. Bhe service was very disapointing. Firstly we ordered drinks that never came, 45 mins later only one breakfast arrived and still no drinks! My boyfriend mentioned this to the staff who just didn't seem to care -- no apology. They were rude and surly. The food, when it came, was OK, but lukewarm. If the service was good and the food was hot it would be a great great cafe, but i just felt it was really frustrating. Another thing that annoyed me was that on the menu it says a 12.5% Discrectionary service charge will be added. When we went to pay we were not asked if we wanted to pay it, as we didnt, and they even had a jar saying 'lovely tips please', which we thought was just greedy. So on the whole it's rubbish service that lets this place down big time.My boyfriend and I went to megans for breakfast.

I visited this restaurant with 44 colleagues on saturday the 28th of march 09.

We were all apalled by the very very poor quality of the food, the service was also incredibly poor.The waiting staff were rude abrupt, and very unhelpful.
The vegetarain options were so bad it looked like they use tinned mushrooms in the risotto,
The chicken dishes were chewy and the food cold.the service was appaling.I sopke to the manager, who was very unhelpful, and was unwilling to listen to my feedback or do anything to rectify the poor experience we had, he then slammed the phone down on me, great customer service.Avoid this restaurant at all costs and dont give them any of your money.I visited this restaurant with 44 colleagues on saturday the 28th of march 09.
