A wonderful meal at Hawksmoor, expected no less. The staff are lovely and the fillet steak was exceptional (coming from someone who’s very picky). Excellent selection of beverages. I always recommend Hawksmoor and you have a new fan in my companion. 11/10!

Lovely location. Service and food was fantastic. We ordered lamb biryani and chicken dish along with daal and basmati with quinoa. Dessert was lovely, bread and butter pudding and pistachio kulfi. Highly recommend going. No music so room was full of people talking which had a lovely buzz about it.
