If you’re looking for something truly different, Silo is absolutely worth a visit. The food is exceptional—beautifully presented, refined, and a sophisticated take on traditional Ukrainian cuisine. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted while staying true to its roots. The service is equally impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience feel special from start to finish. I have a feeling this restaurant won’t stay under the radar for long. I’d recommend visiting before it earns its first Michelin star—which, in my opinion, is only a matter of time. I really hope to see that happen very soon. :::writing
A restaurant to try modern Ukrainian cuisine. The dishes are mostly delicious, but very small. I tried everything, from cocktails and appetisers to the main course, salad and dessert. I liked the dessert the most. I didn't like the room. It has no ventilation, the air is musty, and the windows are fogging up. There is not much space inside, and the tables are small, so it gets crowded. There is nowhere to put your things, such as bags. I recommend visiting, because it is primarily about the food, and there is something to try here.
Absolutely delicious experience! I had the opportunity to try the new borscht set - the salo spread could use a bit more flavor, but everything else tasted divine. The steak was incredibly tender, and the dumpling broth was immensely rich and flavorful. The staff were very kind and attentive, and the manager was gracious enough to chat with me about their tableware, which is another standout aspect of the restaurant. I can’t wait to come back!
Exceptional experience with their special Valentine’s Day tasting menu. The interior was nice, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the cutlery and crockery were really great. The bread with leek butter were simply amazing - the bread was warm and custom made and the butter was uncommon and delicious. The scallop croustade was good although the flavour was a bit on the simpler side (classic scallop and citrus combination) - still a good starter. Tuna tartare was amazing, halibut dish wasn’t perfect as the fish was overcooked in my opinion but the sauce was out of this world and put everything in order. The duck breast was truly great as well - tender with a crusty skin and paired well with the beetroot which wasn’t overly earthy. The dessert - chocolate mousse - was a bit on the simpler side and the crusty but was a bit too hard but still the balance was there and this was a pleasant dish with a nice twist of burnt grapefruit. Overall, this is one of those experiences where the value for money is clear. Forest cocktail was great - the flavours were rich and silky. The only small downside was that the cream on the top was a bit difficult to sip with the cocktail itself. All in all, a great place which I recommend especially for occasions when they have those tasting menus as the chef is really talented.
SINO is exceptional. The food is phenomenal — delicious, modern, and beautifully put together. Rather than presenting “classic Ukrainian dishes” outright, every plate feels original and contemporary, while clearly rooted in Ukrainian ingredients and flavours. It’s a real taste of Ukraine, expressed in an artful, modern way. The non-alcoholic drinks deserve special mention too. They were genuinely inventive and unlike anything you’d usually find on a restaurant menu. Attentive service, a calm, refined atmosphere, and subtle Ukrainian details throughout — from the interior to the tableware — round it all off. One of the most memorable meals I’ve had in London. Слава Україні 💙💛
