   Delicious food, good selection of cocktails and wines. Intermittent dancers bring the party atmosphere. My only recommendation for improvement is to have the toilets cleaned more frequently.

   Allyu is a great venue for celebrations, treats, dates, gatherings with friends, and or family. The food and beverages are simply outstanding. A lot of care, pride, and detail goes into each dish and cocktail. The prices for the Saturday Brunches are a bargain!!!! My only criticisms were the noise level and the system permitting 3.45 pm bookings. With regards to the noise, my fellow diners and I felt as though we had to scream and shout ot each other and the wait staff to be heard! The music was ridiculously loud, coupled with other diners screaming and yelling at each other it was chaotic and enough to cause a headache. The level of noise was more conducive to a night club, not a dining experience. As well as being unpleasant, the loud music impacted upon the level of service too. The staff struggled to hear us, when we ordered, so we received a few incorrect orders. This ultimately is a waste of resources and creates for additional pressure upon the chef (s) and wait staff. Additionally, it is a little naughty for the system to permit 3.45 pm bookings when the kitchen closes at 5.00 pm! Brunch is supposed to be a 90 minute experience. I would suggest that Allyu amend this and only take bookings up to 3.15 pm. Personally, I think bookings after this time are a rush for the diners, a lot of unnecessary added pressure on the staff and detract from the whole experience. Nobody really wants to cram in food and beverages and hastily order. It's not a speed eating contest.

   It was my second time. The first time it was sensational and I thought I found the spot of great food, nice atmosphere and Great music. HOWEVER, I got all embarrassed and disappointed after choosing to spend my anniversary at your restaurant and got cold food served. It took ages to get our food. And music was so loud and it felt more like a club not q dinner place. Previous dj( the guy playing during brunch) was amazing. I won’t be back again, unfortunately

   Second time at Ayllu, we continue trying the menu and the sushi art conquers our palate. I have never tried such delicious tacos, spectacular beef croquettes, sashimi, a whole explosion of flavors artistically combined with a perfect presentation of the delicacies. Unbeatable service from Morella& Azamat, attentive to everything and with clear explanations of all the preparations. Atmosphere, decoration and lighting that welcome and clothe you. We want to continue testing the menu! In mind is to try the tasting menu experience with pairing.

   Just wanted to have a quick lunch so did not expect much. But this was truly a 5/5 experience: my husband had the 6 course lunch set menu which was a truly amazing experience. Great restaurant in a great location just 10 min away from Kensington. Its very well worth a visit.

   We chose this restaurant based on the good Opentable reviews and we didn't regret it! Atmospheric, on a pleasantly lit covered lower floor and with a top chef! We gave the server carte blanche and were treated to 6 different delicious dishes (2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 desserts), a combination of South American and Japanese, very refined and tasty. An absolute must for those looking for a culinary highlight in London!
