"Noivita embodies the core values that have made Italian cuisine a favorite among many worldwide. Using genuine and fresh ingredients, each dish reflects the diverse regional flavors of Italy. With patience and expertise, the chefs craft perfect doughs that have been passed down through generations in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, now delivered to the doorsteps of London. They elevate working class favorites to gourmet experiences while still honoring their humble origins. I highly recommend trying the mozzarella and aubergine pizza, with extra mozzarella."

"Apart from the friendliest staff, this place boasts a great menu and a lovely atmosphere. It's mine and my husband's favourite restaurant in North London and we are lucky enough to live just around the corner. We own another local vegan restaurant on the same road but do not hesitate to talk about Keren View. Please, please, please support this amazing small mother-daughter run business. While you're there, you might be lucky enough to have a cup of tea with the owner and learn about Eritrean culture. Honestly, Keren View is North London's hidden gem. I recommend their hummus and salad, injera (if you need another portion to finish your meal, I believe it is free), Brsa, Hamli, Atter, and my favourite, Ades. I must admit that these are the only dishes I have tried. For dessert, I recommend the dates with a cup of Camomile Tea or their sorbet. Sometimes they have different cakes available too which have always been delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do."

"A friend and I stumbled on to this neighbourhood restaurant by chance; no research, no booking, no expectations. We were then blown away by the quality of the food: wonderfully fresh fish, beautifully cooked. The service is also exemplary. I've always enjoyed calamari, but this was by far the best I've ever had: truly succulent and juicy. The mussels were almost as good, and the sea bream kept up the standard. The spiced quince with ice cream made a nice change from baclava in a Turkish restaurant (they still threw in some baclava). The owner, Tony, provides excellent recommendations — make sure you take them! He knows what's fresh that morning, and how his wife cooks it. The bill comes hand-written, and Tony forgot to include the wine (obviously I corrected him). I can't remember the last time a restaurant bill made a mistake in the customers' favour! No service charge is included, and it deserves a lot more than the usual 12.5%. This is a wonderful, old-fashioned restaurant, run by a charming old couple, committed to maintaining old-fashioned standards. The food is more than great and the prices more than reasonable. Service is personal, honest and responsive (providing Tony turns his hearing aid on). Tony warns you if anything you wanted was bought in, rather than home-made. Why don't unassuming but wonderful restaurants like this get Michelin stars?"

"Came to bengal spice for the first time and thought the restaurant looked nice and cosy. Bringing your own drinks was a nice touch to keep the cost down too. Unfortunately after eating the food we had the worst tummy pain from it , messed our sleep up because the food was definitely not right. I think it was something to do with the sauce. Tasted good but this wasn’t something I experienced in a long time"
