Great place for Thai food which to me is on a par with the much more expensive Busaba Eathai. It was busy when I got there 7.30 on a Wednesday night but we didn't have to wait long for a table.

Food is served quickly and is excellent value for money. I had a delicious fish dish with basil leaves and was very surprised at the generous portions of deep fried fish.

It's only a five minute walk away from Clapham Junction station and as others have said, beats Wagamama big time

Kopapa doesn't just serve tapas, there's a good all day menu and apparently the brunch is worth a try. However, the tapas they serve is very good being a mixture of fusion Kiwi food.

The sticky coconut ribs really were a stand out dish and for one person the portion is pretty big, certainly worth sharing with someone else. The coconut sauce made them slightly less sticky than I expected.

Cassava chips with guacamole & salsa sauce seem to have replaced the polenta chips mentioned in an earlier review. They were a light and fluffy alternative to potato chips and I'm sure they're not low fat, but I like to think they have less fat than normal chips.

I had the fried squid as what I thought would be a main course, but was warned by the waiter it was only tapas sized. He was wrong (either that or I was so stuffed on ribs) as it was a very good sized portion that to me felt easily as large as a main plate! So that was a lovely surprise, specially as it was delicious, served with rocket, spiced nuts and aubergine.

My dessert was a light pistachio and ginger parfait with rhubarb. It looked remarkably like cream cheese with herbs covered in a tomato sauce. However once I bit into it all thoughts of it being cheese or savoury disappeared. A good refreshing end to the meal.

The drinks were a little on the pricey side (well if you were going to have cocktails) so my firend and I shared a carafe of wine which complemented the food well.

I'd definitely go back as it's a great location and a relaxed atmosphere, with attentive service & well presented food.

It's very easy to walk past this restaurant, as from the outside you'd have no idea that it housed a bar and place to eat. I imagine this is because a lot of members clubs deliberately want to hide themselves, so only the select few know where they are.

Luckily for us The Commonwealth Club's kitchen is now open to the public and it's a great place to enjoy some extremely well presented and tasty food in a light and airy non crowded environment.

You feel as though you're in one of the more accessible private member's clubs, with very attentive service and attention to detail, but without having to pay for the privilege of joining.

Monkfish with orzo pasta was wonderful (although I probably could have done with a larger portion), but that wouldn't have left room for the very well cooked venison & pretty tasty apple cake with blackberry variations which followed. One of the better combinations of Apple & Blackberry (although a tech partnership of mobile handsets did come to mind).

The dessert came with a standout glass of sweet cider which was a real eye opener (or should that be tongue opener) for me, as I'm not a fan of cider.

I was kindly treated to a meal here as part of a Qype Guru event, but having looked at the prices on the menu, I'd definitely return, as it's very affordable for the standard of food & general ambience.

It's a cool idea to only have one thing on the menu as it makes ordering pretty quick, which is more than can be said for the wait outside. I normally REALLY hate queueing for food in London, as you're never normally more than a five minute walk away from another good eaterie. A twenty minute queue on a Wednesday night in November was a bit excessive in my opinion (but in spite of looking up alternatives on my friend's iPad we stayed the course).

It was sort of worth the wait, as after a while you just think, we've waited this long we may as well stay. Would I do it again? Probably not.

Steak was well cooked, the sauce tasty, the mustardy dressing on the salad was very mustardy and with two helpings, I was full.

Profiteroles were yummy (although extremely cold fillings - not sure if it was icecream) and the tarte citron very good.

I'm glad I went but for another twenty minute queue it would have to be super special.

This was my third visit to Inamo & probably the best of the three. As most people have said it is a geek's paradise to be able to order food from the interactive tables, have a peek into the kitchen through the table's webcam, change the background of the table & play memory games if you're really bored.

I think what made this the best visit was the attentiveness of the staff. We had a bit of confusion about the time our table was booked & also arrived early but we were made welcome in the cocktail bar downstairs. We were seated five minutes after our booking time, with many apologies from the receptionist over the confusion (it seriously wasn't a big deal for us)

I stupidly ordered my main course about two minutes after my starter, so it meant it was sitting around on the table for a while before my friend's main arrived. One of the waiters kindly noticed this & offered to heat up the food.

When our final bill arrived, the two cocktails we had downstairs were the wrong cocktails, they were immediately taken off the bill. We asked about putting the right cocktails back on & the waiter said "No probs have them on the house as you shouldn't have had the wrong ones put on". Who were we to say no to free cocktails ;-)

The staff were all extremely friendly & one of the waiters seemed genuinely excited about the opening of their new branch (Regent's Street) in December, giving a great description of what it would look like.

The food was very tasty, beautifully presented and yes, as others have said, maybe the main course portions were a tad small for the price, but if you stock up on the delicious Baby ribs and vegetable tamaki beforehand you won't feel hungry.

It was my friend's first visit & she was really impressed & can't wait to return with her boyfriend. I'll definitely be back again and looking forward to trying the new branch when it opens!

Really good option for Thai / Vietnamese food on Old Street. Having just come back from a holiday in Bali (where the food is also very Thai and Vietnamese influenced) I was keen to remind myself of "London" Indonesian food. The "spring rolls" which were re-named Autumn rolls were delicious with a burst of coriander and mint freshening your palate. We were lucky enough to roll our own, which was an interesting experience and I'd certainly like to try to make them myself.

The red chicken curry was tasty (perhaps a bit too much salad garnish for me) and served in a large asymmetric bowl piled on top of the rice. It was incredibly colourful and didn't have the 'overcooked' flavour that some Thai curries in the UK have.

Staff were very friendly and Marc (the owner) was the perfect genial host.

I'd certainly like to try the other dishes on the menu and I like the fact that there are only six dishes to choose from (perfect for an indecisive Libran like me).

I don't think that I've ever been in a London pub that has a beer garden as large and well "decked" out as the one at Avalon. The owners have made fantastic use of the outside space, with candles, sculptures, iron wall hangings, large umbrellas for shade and further down toward the back a beautiful fountain with armchair like seating. You really could be in a country pub, rather than a five minute walk from Clapham South Tube.

There's a large grill and BBQ area, which I was lucky enough to don my apron and turn some delicious burgers and fragrant, succulent peri peri chicken.

The burgers were enormous and it was a struggle to eat more afterwards (although I did), washed down with glasses of Pimms. It was the perfect way to while away a summer's evening.

The dessert menu looked super tempting too - Eton Mess is a favourite of mine which I'll be sampling when I definitely return!
