Rating: 5/5
Haché is derived from the French for 'to chop' but the only Gallic twist on the great American burger here is attention to detail...

Yum Cha
Rating: 4/5
Occupying the premises of a former Thai restaurant, this new dim sum venue has been slow to embrace its own identity.

Ottoman Palace
Rating: 3/5
‘Palatial’ isn’t an overstatement in this joint which does well to mimic Ottoman opulence.

Asakusa
Rating: 4/5
Those who regularly squeeze themselves into this cramped, shabbily decorated restaurant are often loath to recommend it: they already have difficulty getting a table. But too...

Daphne
Rating: 4/5
Looking rather unprepossessing and cramped from the front, Daphne is a pleasant surprise within. Though narrow, it is much more spacious than at first appears, as the kitchens...

Jamón Jamón
Rating: 3/5
Weekend evenings at Jamón Jamón are boisterous affairs: tables are often pushed together to make room for birthday parties, and the sound of laughter can eclipse...

Chin Chin Laboratorists
Rating: 4/5 49-50 Camden Lock Place, London, NW1 8AF

Nice Green Café
Rating: 4/5 Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London, NW1 7AY
Unless you were looking for it, you'd never stumble upon this small new café. It's hidden away from touristy Camden inside the imposing 1930s hall of the English Folk Dance and...

Masala Zone
Rating: 4/5 25 Parkway, London, NW1 7PG
Branches of this smart, clever chain are popping up faster than mustard seeds in a hot pan of ghee. Each outlet is decorated with a different theme - on Parkway it's advertising...

The Diner
Rating: 3/5 2 Jamestown Road, London, NW1 7BY
The sizeable queue of international customers waiting for tables at this jumping joint is well looked after by the flock of delightful, straight-haired bambis who work here. Management...

I will never understand how such horrible indian kitchen like the Masala Zone gets 4 stars and a place like Maharani on Camden high street is not even mentioned. Also if you have not discovered "Tikino" yet, it's your own fault.
