  Wandered by on a Sunday, and decided to pop in for lunch, especially because Sunday roasts were offered. The experience was both terrible and great - made our orders promptly: lamb and chicken, beer and tea, and then we waited. And waited. And waited. And then the server comes up with our bill and I was like ?!
  
  Turns out our orders were missed, and they were duly apologetic. By then, there was no more lamb and we were rather grouchy. However, on the upside, service recovery was great. I had to go with the pork belly in lieu of lamb, and the restaurant decided they would waive the cost of the second main, and get me another beer while at it. Nice gesture, but your food had better be good eh?
  
  Verdict: better than good - the roast pork belly was melt in your mouth, and the chicken crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. One of the nicer meals I had in London indeed, if I could overlook the fiasco of the meal order mix up. While it was just us whose orders were goofed, other patrons also had to undergo a long waiting time as well, of 30 minutes and above. Yes, the restaurant was packed to its gills but surely there has to be a way around this.

  This place was okay. We went here on a Saturday after exploring Portobello Market and we hastily chose one of the first restaurants we saw because we were hungry.
  
  The salad with goats cheese, grapes, and cucumber was great with a really nice dressing. The antipasto platter was just okay. I would have expected a bit more for the price. We also ordered grilled focaccia, but it came out dry and burnt - we couldn't even eat it.

  Party of 3 on a busy Saturday at the market.  Seated quickly.  Waitress was aloof but present.  Food was mediocre; the fish and chips was barely fish and mostly oily breading.  Salmon was decent.  Nothing too exciting here.

  First of all: They've changed the name to just "The Portobello Kitchen". Very cosy little Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere and great food at a very convenient location just on busy Portobello Road. The prices are pretty good, especially considering the touristy area. I had the beef with mustard sauce and it was absolutely lovely. However, while the mustard sauce was great, next time I would probably go with the mushroom sauce. My friend got some pizza (can't remember the name) but it was superb! The grilled vegetables are a must as a side dish! So perfect! The music was very good and not too loud at all. Considering the cosy atmosphere I could definitely recommend this place to romantic couples.

  Very nice place to have lunch at the famous Portobello Road. Just 10£ for the lunch menu (basically pizza or pasta) with one drink. The place is nice (no wifi), the italian waiter is so nice and the food is good.
