    We really enjoyed dining here. We just returned from Vietnam and wanted some of their local dishes that aren’t often offered at an ordinary Vietnamese restaurant. Mama Le had this and then some. Worth trying Bahn Hoi to get the real taste of Vietnam.

    This was a terrible experience from The time we walked in the door. The waitress came over and was unsure how to find our booking. She finally did and we sat down and ordered a drink.. while eating the gentleman making cocktails was busy chatting at the bar so my husband had to go up and ask about our drink, 30 mins later.. we ordered and received food. It was just okay. We then ordered another drink and received that not long after but when the waitress collected our empty plates she knocked the glass on my husband and it smashed everywhere!! No apologies.. we then devotion lrave as we had enough! As we go to pay we are overcharged and our drink on on happy hour as we did not ask? It was just a nightmare. I read the previous reviews and I am shocked how BAD this place is. We will never return

    A beautiful place for any occasion. We sat upstairs which we preferred. The ambience, space and lighting were just perfect. Our lovely waitress Jackie attended to our every request. The food presentation was outstanding. The taste tantalising. I could not fault our experience at Mama Le, we will definitely be back!

    Our group of 4 had a fabulous night...we had trouble deciding what to order because everything on the menu sounded delectable...with help from our waiter we ordered a perfect amount of small and larger dishes that arrived at good pace across the next couple of hours...my cocktail (Golden Child) is possibly the best cocktail I've ever had. I can't believe I live within walking distance of such an incredible restaurant. Lucky me..lucky Kensington.
