Despite being one of the gourmet capitals of the world, with internationally renowned destination restaurants, London has many eateries that are a well kept secret. There are many hidden gems just waiting to be discovered, perhaps ensconced in a basement, tucked away behind a hidden door or found in an unmarked or unexpected location. Here we round up a few that you may not have heard of.

Istanbul Meze Mangal, Colliers Wood

If you are foodie who is looking to enjoy an authentic Turkish meal, look no further. There is so much more to Turkish cuisine than eating a kebab from a polystyrene tray with a serving of chips. Take a look through the menu, Mantar Sote, Sigara Boregi, Imam Bayildi…are you familiar with the dishes? Probably not, and therein lies the beauty! This restaurant is all about tasting new things, so indulge your tastebuds. And if you’re not feeling particularly adventurous, order the chicken caesar salad, not exactly Turkish…but delicious all the same.

 

Zumbura, Clapham Old Town

Zumbura is fashionably styled and has adopted the London trend for small plates with heavy price tags. That aside, this is not an establishment where style comes over substance! The dishes are based on rural cooking traditions, giving diners an authentic insight into the flavours of the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Sit back, relax and wash down with authentic craft beers.

 

Dans Le Noir, Clerkenwell  

City life can be assaulting on the senses, but Dans Le Noir enables you to escape the flashing neon synonymous with many of London’s hotspots. At Dans Le Noir, expect to dine in complete darkness. This is an experience restaurant, designed to enable you to understand the world in a similar way to those who are blind. Additionally, it also enables people to switch off the visual overload and reconnect with themselves or those they choose to dine with.

 

The Clove Club, Shoreditch

It seems that the Clove Club truly believes in the less is more mantra, because to describe their webpage as minimal…would actually be a generous statement. Like the restaurant itself, the webpage focuses on the tempting menu, boasting Cornish Mackerel and Amalfi Lemonade and Pepper Ice Cream. This cutting-edge restaurant certainly whets the appetite and will encourage diners to make a booking, you just need to keep clicking until you find the restaurant’s location and how to make a reservation. Are you ready for a challenge?

 

Malibu Kitchen, Poltury

It is likely that you will already be aware of the Ned, the latest establishment from Soho House. The space boasts a number of eateries, but Malibu kitchen is by far the most intriguing. Malibu kitchen presents a wry juxtaposition, it nods toward the clean eating habits of the Californian crew but it is also boldly aware of its city centre location, resulting in the perfect blend of clean eating and delicious dining. What’s not to like?
