From Marylebone to East Sheen

Chez Roux at The Langham is the latest restaurant of the Roux family. It offers a comfortable environment and a fairly appealing menu of classical dishes, but there were issues of one sort of another with most of the plates of food that arrived. At this price point, this kind of inconsistency simply should not be happening. A wildly overpriced, short wine list hardly adds to its appeal. 

Black Salt is part of the Dastaan restaurant family, which collectively serves some of the very best Indian food in and around the capital. This is a regular haunt, and old favourites such as the kale bhajias and the red pepper chilli prawns were as good as ever. This is a very reliable restaurant with a nice dining room and friendly service. If only more restaurants could deliver value for money like this one.
