TRIPADVISOR REVIEWERS THINK THESE ARE THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN TOWN – ARE THEY RIGHT?
UXBRIDGE has no shortage of great places to eat, from tiny independent restaurants to big high street chains.
The town’s thriving centre is a great place to find a bite to eat but have you ever fancied trying somewhere new that you haven’t ventured to before?
If so, we may be able to help, as we have been scouring Tripadvisor to see which are the town’s best rated restaurants.
On its website, diners are able to leave reviews to say whether their meal was excellent, very good, average, poor or terrible.
And it’s not just the quality of the food that is up for review, as many take pleasure in rating the level of service and atmosphere.
The scores and the number of reviews are then taken into account to rank the restaurants.
So here, in reverse order, are the top nine Uxbridge restaurants according to Tripadvisor, at the time of writing.
9. Curry Culture
This Rockingham Road eatery serves up some slightly less well-known Indian dishes and has a 4.5-star rating from notoriously picky Tripadvisor critics.
Near the edge of the the town centre it is well worth a visit for local curry lovers.
The most recent review states: “Every dish was distinctive, delicious and well seasoned and spiced.”
The Tandoori Mixed Grill has plenty of reviewers raving, but the curry seems to have won over even more fans.
Particular mention has been made of the Kori Gassi, a Mangalorean chicken curry cooked with coconut and spices and not often found on menus at Indian restaurants in the UK.
8. Nabrasa
Officially called “Nabrasa Brazillian Dining Experience” and nestled around the corner from the High Street in Bakers Road, this restaurant is far from ordinary.
In the Brazilian churrasco style (term referring to beef or grilled meat), diners have a red and green paddle signifying whether or not they want more meat.
Servers armed with skewers of tender grilled meats then slice off chunks for customers who pay a flat fee for all you can eat.
There’s also a vegetable buffet if you need a break from all that meat. However, the cinnamon pineapple is probably the most popular dish here, and it’s a dessert!
One reviewer had this to say: “Can honestly say the food is awesome. A lot of variations of meat and chicken, but the cinnamon pineapple is the star of the show.
“Whoever came up with the idea of combining these two flavours needs a medal.
7. Nonna Rosa
An Uxbridge institution and favoured hangout of Uxbridge MP and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, this Italian restaurant has many fans who keep returning to sample the delights.
Closed for refurbishment until May, this High Street restaurant is a must visit when it is open again.
A recent reviewer had this to say about the restaurant: “I would say from my experience, this is the best, most consistently high standard restaurant in Uxbridge and it’s reasonably priced too.”
Make sure to check the specials board before you order, but if you’re looking for some fan favourites, try the “perfectly cooked” lamb cutlets or try the mozzarella dough balls.
6. The Old Orchard
Situated in Park Lane, Harefield, this gastropub is clearly doing something right.
Particularly singled out for praise were the atmosphere, weekend lunches and Sunday roasts.
While some reviewers fell in love with the grub, many were awe-struck by the views across the lake. Remember we are still in London, just!
A reviewer summed it up well with this: “This restaurant is situated in a great area with fantastic food, plenty of outdoor seating for a summers day.
“And brilliant food with a large array of alcoholic beverages to choose from.”
5. Bar Italia
From the people who brought you Nonna Rosa, this is another High Street institution you must visit.
So much so, that it is even home to a detailed, scale lego model of Uxbridge High Street constructed by their in-house tune spinner AshleyJ DJ.
Particularly popular with group bookings for Christmas parties to hen dos, the cocktail bar and restaurant serves up delicious freshly made pizzas, according to reviewers.
