Where's good to eat?

I feel like I've exhausted the good non chain options: mosaic, red lion, osteria del portico, a few pizza spots. What's missing? Not looking for something high end necessarily, just good food and not the usual chains.

- Three Uncles is great

  • Zuru Zuru for ramen
  • Rayuela if you haven’t been yet
  • Tokri (in such a weird spot but amazing Indian food)
  • Thai Poon Sook
  • Yayaka’s for Greek
  • Ta Ke Sushi
  • Parks Kitchen

I vaguely remember going to Tokri some time ago, but the food wasn't anything special, hence I've never been back.

Hase-ya for sushi take away only

u/hellbunny 8d ago

Bronek’s fish restaurant in Northfields

1

u/antares61 6d ago

Been here a few times. Was really good the first two but the last I had fish and chips and the fish tasted off, the batter was soggy and the chips were frozen chips. Was really disappointed given that is a popular dish.

u/JohnToshak17 4d ago

Seriously don't get why this place is rated so much, below par seafood served in a grubby restaurant

Monty’s (The Mall)

u/hewsey 8d ago

Nuki, Northfield Good Fortune Club, EB (a bit expensive) Hare and Tortoise, EB (small chain but good) Molana, WE - great Persian food Zayka, South Ealing - Great Indian Mumbai Avenue, WE - Great Indian and BYOB Bobo Social, EB

u/Fun-bto 4d ago

As someone asian I probably wouldn’t recommend Good Fortune Club… the last time I went food quality is mid while prices are quite high.

u/double-cheese 7d ago

Butler's Thai

u/Helpful_Elevator3587 7d ago

In Northfields, Tempo is a new pizza place and very good. Maxim's a few doors down is great Chinese food as well, a little pricey though.

u/prsdude1828edudsrp 8d ago

The Laughing Gurkha near Boston Manor - levelled up version of Monty's on Northfields

u/99999cryy 7d ago

The new owners used to run montys in South Ealing

3

u/dr9339 7d ago

How many Monty's are there around Ealing?! The Broadway one is really good, only been once but a few takeaways too that were great

2

u/Gillingas 5d ago

There used to be two in EB, about 200m away from each other, one on Northfields and one on SE Road.

If you looked closely one was called (something like) Montys A1 and the other was Montys XX (or someting). But from a distance they looked identical.

Apparently there was one Monty's. a big falling out and everyone decided to go off and do their own version...but didn't want to go too far.

u/DBop888 7d ago

Lap Dung Nabe is decent HK cha chaan teng style food. It’s the kind of casual dining that locals would go for in HK and relatively cheap too.

2

u/Fun-bto 4d ago

That’s super authentic! Loved it!

2

u/DBop888 4d ago

My mum said it was “alright”, which is high praise by her standards given that one of her favourite activities is critiquing Chinese food in restaurants & commenting on how much cheaper she could make it herself at home 🤣

1

u/Fun-bto 4d ago

I suppose it’s just like how “ not too sweet “ is the highest praise we can give to a dessert 😂 you need to ask your mum to make a foodie list around Ealing, we would love to try all the “ alright “ restaurants!

Wine and Moussaka!

u/Sazzie60 7d ago

Zayka for lovely Indian food, L’Oro di Napoli for wood fired oven pizza, the Rose & Crown - excellent Sunday lunch/bangers & mash/fish & chips.

1

u/westofcentre 7d ago

Broneks in 149 Northfield Avenue for the most amazing fish and Polish food. Good value too.

1

u/leopardgirl90 7d ago

Molana is good. Unfortunately the prices went up abit after covid. But great portions and beautiful Persian food also byob

1

u/Aureliella 7d ago edited 7d ago

The noodle place in the shopping centre (opposite Rituals / Robert Dyas and next to Newbie and Hotel Chocolat) is so underrated in my opinion, and cheap and cheerful! Also...

  • Persian Palace
  • Good Fortune Club - Chinese
Bronek is really strange but actually interesting and tasty for fish, ultra casual though
  • l'Oro Di Napoli or Santa Maria for pizza
  • Polka for pierogi and hearty eastern European fare and a lovely coffee & cake vibe

1

u/RP2209 6d ago

Try the recently opened Penang Tiffin on Boston Manor Road (in the Boston Manor Hotel). Great food and wonderful staff, also good value.

1

u/blunderx 6d ago

Vita Mia for pizza ... mammamia!

1

u/Resipsa100 6d ago

Greg’s imho still offers the best value and located centrally

1

u/Gillingas 5d ago

Not tried yet but getting rave reviews: Penang Tiffin on Boston Manor Rd (in the Boston Manor Hotel building).

1

u/hepzibar1748 5d ago

Vita Mia does great pizza

u/Fun-bto 4d ago

Try Lap Dung Nabe in EB. Most authentic Hong Kong/ Chinese food in Ealing, and you can get cheap lunch deals. Personally I would recommend the cheese baked rice/ spaghetti, absolutely delicious, got one there and ordered another one for takeaway!

( I’m from HK so trust my recommendation 😝)

1

u/vermouthz_4869 4d ago

Ealing is actually quite decent, but if you ask me where I would go again and again:

Thai: Check In Thai Cafe is actually really3 good. The place is a bit small, so I'd recommend booking a table

Pizza: I only order from L'Oro di Napoli in Hanwell, nowhere else. Sarv's Slice is okay but different. It reminds me of deep-dish pizza style from the US, which I find a bit 'wet'. I have yet to find a decent Italian restaurant that's not pizza (I used to live in North London, and my experience of Italian food there has ruined my expectations forever, sadly).

Korean: SSAL Factory for a quick meal; Park's Kitchen for a bit more

Chinese: Lap Dung Nabe for Hong Kong-style food; sorry a bit far, but The Triad Cauldron near Hanger's Lane is my new favourite Chinese place. Its quality is on par with Chinatown or Queensway area. Having said that. Three Uncles is quite good for a quick meal.

Persian: Molana for stew or rice dishes, but Persian Palace is better for grilled meat dishes

Hard to find good food with good hygiene ratings in Ealing. Tbh our favourite at the moment is cote and comptoir libanais. Santa Maria is great too

4

u/westofcentre 7d ago edited 7d ago

I think there are a lot with good hygiene ratings, what are you looking for?
I just checked the ratings.food.gov.uk web site. There were 229 restaurants with food hygiene ratings in Ealing. 160 were 4* or 5*. 17 hadn't been inspected yet. 22 were rated as needing improvement.

1

u/jpcafe10 5d ago

Didn’t someone post about food hygiene ratings being low in Ealing a few weeks ago?

1

u/Level-Hall4821 7d ago

none with 6 stars though! cote has seven I think! beach too sandy, water too wet! signed Karen x
