Harden's survey result
Summary
“Wow!! Tasty or what?” This upscale kebab group has expanded from its well-known Kingly Court base, and been busy during the pandemic with a couple of new openings. In May 2021 they opened both a new café in a funky Dalston coworking space (part of a new aparthotel from Locke) and a retro, old-school kebab shop in the heart of Old Street, open till the wee hours. “You can’t really fault the food and it’s at a very good price. It’s a nice place too, relaxed but well managed”. See also Kebab Queen.
Summary
“Posh kebabs bring the late-night, post-pub favourite to a new level” at this “fun little place at the top of Kingly Court”, thanks to “quality ingredients and a standard of cooking (and imagination) not available elsewhere”.

Summary
“Kebabs but not as we know them” – this “fantastic concept” in Kingly Court off Carnaby Street has pimped up the humble skewer to great acclaim. “Good quality fancy kebabs, run by a bunch of public school boys – weird, but enjoyable”.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
