Food Insiders
The insiders guide to eating out

Indian Zing - Zings shikampuri kebabWelcome to the Food Insiders website, bringing you reviews of restaurants primarily in London and the South East of England. We cover all types of restaurants but specialise in Indian food.

We started this site because we were bored with all the average Indian restaurants that we were going to with our friends. There are plenty of better places to eat if you are willing to travel a little further and know where to go. Our goal is to find those places and let you know about them.

Last week I visited Desi Tadka in Southall and had a very nice meal. We deliberately went early to avoid the dancing that occurs later in the evening (maybe we'll experience that another time), but if you are thinking of going then check out this video that shows what it can be like.....

I have just heard of an exciting food event happening in London. It is the "London Restaurant Festival" and takes place all over the capital from 8th to 13th October. Highlights include special, fixed price festival menus, "the big roast" at Leadenhall market where top chefs will prepare different roast meats, and a "gourmet odyssey" where can go to three of London's best restaurants on a routemaster bus, and have your starter in one, your main course in another and your dessert in the third.

For something really special, there is the opportunity to have a private dinner, prepared by one of the top chefs, on the London Eye! During the six nights of the festival, a different chef specialising in a different ethnicity of cuisine will be serving dinner in one of the Eye capsules.

Check out the website here for more info on events and participating restaurants.

I recently went to a relatively new restaurant in Hanwell called Urban Karahi, and had a great meal. Currently there is an offer on toptable where you can get up to 50% off the food bill. This is excellent value for money - if you live or are ever near the area, you should definitely try it out.
