Reviews from Our Delighted Guests
The food was better than expected. They do these large grilled prawns in your choice of lemon butter or peri peri sauce which is extremely unique for London. This is a must try on their menu.
Other amazing items that we tried were the grilled chicken and the steak sandwich. All the food was outstanding.
They have a unique dessert called malva pudding which is like a toffee pudding served with ice cream and I highly recommend it !
The owners are hands on which ensures that service is great and food quality is maintained.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable on the menu which is a great help.
I recommend making a reservation for tables of 4 or more.
I will definitely be back!

Had lunch with the missus at Truro the past weekend. Excellent food. Owner Ali’s a lovely chap. Greeted us at the table, described the dishes when I had doubts. A friendly face to have around.I am big on hygiene. Place is spotless, especially the kitchen, so that’s a big plus.
In the attached pics: our calamari starter, Maputo 1/4 chicken main course, cod main course, and Malva pudding dessert. All tasty. We also had the butternut soup starter which was excellent but I forgot to photograph.
2 quick recommendations for Ali as Truro evolves:
1 – would love to see an option to mix smaller portions of chips and rice with the mains, instead of just a big portion of one or the other.
2 – please include sides of salad and veg with the main course as alternatives to chips and rice. Would be great for those of us watching our carbs.
Overall, it’s a thumbs up from me. Will return at some point.
