If you have never tried or even heard of Brazilian cuisine, this is the place to go. Rodizio is a m...ethod of serving meat originating in Southern Brazil - a kind of South American barbecue affair.

Great for confirmed carnivores, although they do have a wide range of vegetarian dishes as well. Mainly barbecued meat of all descriptions with some interesting side dishes such as fried beans or feijoado - black beans with port. Please note - the restaurant does not take any Toptable bookings on Fridays and Saturdays. Opening hours: Mon - Thu 6pm - 12amSun 1pm - 11pm [moreless]

In London's Notting Hill you can eat food from virtually any country you care to mention. If you’re ...in the mood for authentic Moroccan cuisine then pass beneath the colourful arches of Sahara Restaurant and into the warmth of this traditional Southern Moroccan restaurant. Bright yellow banquette seating catches the eye, as do little lanterns illuminating sandblasted walls. But it’s Sahara Restaurant's food that really shines out; homemade meat, fish and vegetable tagines are cooked with real skill and affection. Moroccan dishes aren’t simple; the balance of powerful spices such as cinnamon and saffron not easily achieved. The night starts well - you’re served hot fresh bread with a small bowl of olive oil, marinated olives and homemade harissa – and just gets better. Opening hours: Mon - Sun 6pm - 11pm Sahara has been nominated for a Customer Excellence Award for its Autherntic Morocan Cuisine 2008. [moreless]

The Shish concept is based on healthy dishes from an eclectic mix of countries along the historic Si...lk Road, served in a modern, friendly environment. A goal it admirably achieves judging by this airy, open-plan member of the small Shish family. Like its sister restaurants in Old Street and Willesden Green, the Bayswater branch offers good value koftas, mezze and salads served with bread, rice or couscous. Weekend brunches make a healthy change from your local caff. But the star attractions are the kebabs (shish), served straight off the grill in the open kitchen, or in freshly baked pitta bread. Both booze and non-alcoholic drinks are on the menu; the pineapple and apple cooler is addictively refreshing. Nice service. A credit card is required to secure a reservation for groups of 8 persons or more, if there is availability - this is simply to secure your booking, absolutely no money will be charged to the card except in the case of late cancellations. Late cancellations (within 24 hours of the reservation) and no-shows will incur a charge of £10 per person Opening hours: Mon - Fri 11:30am - 11:30pm, Sat 10:30am - 11:30pm, Sun 10:30am - 10:30pm [moreless]
