Curry with a twist - you'll find all the traditional dishes here, but look to the chef's specials at the lovely little curry house, just off Oxford Street. Possibly one of their best signature dishes is the "Special Stuffed Chicken", a succulent chicken breast, stuffed with a potato, lentil and raisin stuffing, covered in a delicious curry sauce (you know the place is authentic since they keep the curry leaves in). The service is always charming and well worth return visits - on a side note they do deliver within the area. So if you're in a hotel and don't want to move from the comforts of you room, or just working late, it's a perfect oppurtunity to order from this well established curry house.

Trying to find a good Moroccan restaurant in London isn't hard to find - but most feel over-stuffy and try too hard by piling up the carpets/couches/ornaments and lose focus on the food. Original Tangines certainly doesn't - the food is the best Moroccan I've had - and don't be fooled by the price, a main might cost £13 - but the size of the dish is enough for two people and they include rice or couscous with the tangines (my partner had a lamb and pear tangine and I had the Imperial CousCous - both amazing). The decor is certainly a Moroccan style, but not overdone with lovely gold lighting. The only music is a small stereo in the kitchen, but the crowd it attracts (it was packed and a Wednesday night!) is enough. The wine list is good, but for something a little more authentic - opt for fresh sweetened mint tea.

Known as the "cappuccino belt", Lygon Street is unbeatable for Italian Cuisine: it's Melbourne's own Little Italy. If you happen to be in the neighbourhood on October 27th - 28th this year, do check out the Lygon Street Festival, Crowd favourites include the waiters' race, the pizza throwing competition, bocce (bowls), fencing and balloom dancing Italian-style. Not to mention the great live acts, stalls selling everything from glow-in-the-dark trinkets to piping hot fresh food to snack on.

China Bar is part of a chain in Victoria, but don't let that put you off! The chinese food they serve is fresh and prepared in front of you, noodle dishes are their speciality. Usually filled with university students(don't let that put you off! It adds to the vibe), it's open from 11am - 3am Sun-Thur and 11am - 6am Friday and Saturday nights, it's great food, especially after a hard nights clubbing. (Beats a dirty kebab any day).

An amazing Japanese restaurant located in the heart of Soho. Possibly the best sushi I've had in London. The prices are reasonable, the service is attentive, the decor is lovely. And for a small venue, it hardly feels cramped, just very intimate, almost as if you're in a friend's dining room. I cannot reccommend the Kyoto Salad enough! Lightly seared fresh tuna with a cracked black pepper and soy marinade, laid around a plate of fresh salad leaves and a house dressing. The flavour is delicate and an absolute treat.
