I recently went out on a date to this restaurant. I'd heard of Zuma mainly through magazines where celebs had been spotted.

On entry the interior is modern/plush and there is a bar section to the right, where apparently lots of hot women go to snag a wealthy man - you men are soo lucky :-)

My date knew the owner as a friend, so he managed to get seats in the section where the cooks are opposite cooking. I wasn't too sure whether I would like the food, but boy was it amazing! I had crab and spinach for starters, steak (small pieces) and black cod (you have to try this), finished off with warm chocolate cake and icecream - heaven!

The service was excellent as the woman who served us was very friendly/approachable. Zuma is probably the best place I've tried so far. It is expensive but a very fashionable/trendy place and definitely worth a visit...

A group of us had an Xmas party where we went bowling in Whiteleys. We heard that the food wasn't particularly good in there, so headed down Westbourne Grove. All of the restaurants along the way were fully booked (it was a Friday night), the rain coupled with me and my female friend complaining that our feet were hurting in our heels; the boys suggested GBK. On entry, the interior was modern and clean. We had a large table at the back, perfect for a group of people. The waiter was helpful, the menu had quite a selection of different burgers. We didn't have to wait long until we tucked in. I have to admit, I was particularly unadventurous and choose a junior beef burger (not just for kids!), as the main burgers looked too large for me. Everyone seemed to enjoy the place and food, and although slightly more expensive than your average highstreet burger joint, definitely worth a try.

Absolutely love Cafe Diana, I'm a regular. If you fancy eating in a friendly, slightly quirky (lots of Princess Di pictures on the walls - hence the name) cafe, which happens to be in a superb location (Kensington Gardens on the opposite side of the road, and within a few minutes walking distance from Notting Hill Gate Underground Station (Central, District & Circle Lines), then I would highly recommend it. Ok, the decor is somewhat dated, but that just adds to the appeal of the place, it feels sort of homely. What's especially lovely is that the guy, Fawad, that runs the place always has a smile on his face, and remembers my name - great service :-)
