Bumpkin Notting Hill

Lovely restaurant but we were not impressed with the food. There were only a few dishes to choose from but two of the three main courses we ate were bland and not very flavoursome. The puddings were better.

The chef should try harder, went with 8 friends and unanimously disliked the food. Good service and atmosphere but terrible food. Vegetarian/vegan food can be delicious, just need to be a bit creative with textures, spices and flavours, which this had none of.

Tiny Leaf has had a load of PR about it, which we came across when we researched it after a couple of friends recommended it. So we went there with huge expectations. My friends and I are Londoners who've been to most of the top end restaurants around town, so not easily impressed. Also a healthy dose of cynicism about the vegan and zero waste credentials. We were blown away. The service was wonderful, immediately made to feel so welcome and looked after. The food was tasty, full of flavour, beautifully presented, light yet luxurious. I'm a big meat eater, but didn't notice I wasn't eating meat because the flavours hit the spot, and the interesting mix of ingredients made the dishes really satisfying. I loved the mushroom risotto, really gorgeous and rich and comforting, the rice cake kimchi was to die for, curry was fresh and flavoursome... Even the bread was great, hot freshly made with a rich malty butter. The organic wine, which I was cynical about, was the biggest surprise very quaffable. I loved everything. Can't believe it's healthy, vegan, and you can feel good it's zero waste too. Fantastic space too, full but well spaced, we could have easily stayed there for hours. Great value for money too, considering the quality and Topnotch location. Highly recommended what a find. Looking forward to going back!

The chef needs to put more effort in. I went with 8 friends and we all agreed that the food was not good. The service and atmosphere were nice, but the food was awful. Vegetarian/vegan dishes can be delicious with some creativity in textures, spices, and flavors, which this restaurant lacked.

My friends and I, who are Londoners and have been to many of the city's top restaurants, decided to visit Tiny Leaf after hearing about it from friends and researching it. Despite having high expectations and some skepticism about its vegan and zero waste credentials, we were blown away by our experience. The service was exceptional and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and had a wonderful mix of flavors. Even as a big meat eater, I didn't miss meat because the dishes were so satisfying. The mushroom risotto, kimchi rice cake, and curry were particularly outstanding. The bread and organic wine were also impressive. The restaurant’s commitment to being healthy, vegan, and zero waste was evident and added to the overall enjoyment of the experience. The space was great, and we could have easily stayed for hours. The quality of the food, service, and location made it great value for money. I highly recommend Tiny Leaf and can't wait to go back!
