    It was a lovely meal. Had dumplings, sushi and ramen. Was tasty. Service a little rushed. Good atmosphere if a little cramped.

    It's hard to leave a view when you're left speechless.. Let's start with the welcome - front of house staff dressed in uniform cream, each with their own defined and welcoming personality; no pressure to go for the tasting menu, but when you're told that it 'just keeps coming,' it's hard to resist. An informed sommelier tells you that the wine list changes each week and are responsibly sourced - this adds to the mix. And then the dishes do indeed keep coming - and what dishes they are. Victor Garvey is in many ways a summation of all the great restaurants in which he's worked - French Laundry, El Bulli etc.. This is, for me, the best place no just in London, but Europe... and it's just getting started...

    A well deserved 5 Stars. Amazing food, this willl absolutely be my go to for Indian food when I’m in London. I had the Paneer Lababador, and was described on the menu as home made Paneer, and I cannot describe how good it was…such a difference from my usual paneer dish. Service was very polite and respectful. Decor was beautiful. Such a lovely experience….Thank you…😊

    We had great time at Milos indeed. The food, the atmosphere, the service all were a top notch. We started off with Greek salad, the grilled octopus, the veggie tower as starters, they all were very delicious. For the main, we took the chef’s advice for the grill fish and it was beyond expectations. As for the dessert, the strawberry sorbet was a great finish. It is obviously a little expensive but it was worth it.
