• Austrian • Bayswater

Booked 1 time today

Since 1967, diners at the Tiroler Hut have enjoyed hearty Austrian-fare accompanied by live music in this cosy, cult basement restaurant.Your host, the octogenarian Josef, opened the Hut and is still at the helm with his family alongside him, so you can expect a homely, Austrian enclave under bustling Westbourne Grove complete with cheese fondue, schnitzel, ice-cold beer, and, yes, the odd yodelling session. Or cowbell show. Or accordion rendition of 'Do-Re-Mi'. Probably all of them, truth be told.It's a very good place for a night out (and late night food) and even better when enjoyed with friends and family; in the words of the late, great A. A. Gill, "go now - take all your friends."

Much like the Incan civilisation, Ayllu is about the coming together of friends and families and taking time to share an experience of great food and innovative cocktails with loved ones.Drawing on the inspiration of the Ayllu community, the menu consists of innovative small nikkei plates, designed for the whole table to share. Traditional Japanese flavours are paired with Peruvian influences, bringing fresh and zesty aromas to each dish.

• Lebanese • Park Royal

Maroush at Park Royal Sharing, generosity and hospitality are the hallmarks of Lebanese culture. Food is a celebration of life: Endless varieties and magical tastes…it is healthy and naturally prepared. It all comes together at mealtime, the time for a family get-together and the time for friends to catch up. It is the perfect setting too for closing that business deal.At Maroush, our food and service reflect these traditions. From that first restaurant, we now have sixteen. These include more formal dining at Maroush Gardens, live entertainment in a more relaxed atmosphere at both Maroush Vere Street and Maroush I, while at Ranoush Juice we offer freshly squeezed natural juice to accompany our food–this is now available at most of our restaurants. More recently, we have launched Maroush Bakehouse, where our customers can get freshly baked artisan and Lebanese bread, sweets and cakes along with our traditional Lebanese fare.

I found Ukai to be a worthy visit. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Explained the menu and nanged expectation on food service and timing. Lots of options on the menu and all choices made on the night were thoroughly enjoyed. I would certainly recommend.

Fantastic atmosphere. Genuine family run restaurant, great live music, steins of beer, hearty food and very very Austrian. The warm pretzel bread with sweet mustard sauce was delightful. A little pricy, but justified by the unique atmosphere and a single evening sitting (so rare these days) which means we could settle in and relax without being rushed. A true hidden gem.
