Ambience ✔ Staff ✔ Meals ✔ Presentation ✔ Drinks ✔ Pricing ✔ I could gush all day about this place but let me just say FANTASTIC in every aspect. Highly recommend the seabass & taco suya. Going back immediately lockdown is over.

This place continues to outdo itself. The food was exceptionally tasty I had the king prawn moi moi, the sea bass and the stick toffee pudding. The flavours work so well and the quality of the food. The cocktails are great I had two classic ones and of of the signature ones the Royal Zombie which is a definite must. The decor atmosphere the music and the staff very attentive. It feels like you are in a Mayfair restaurant with such a elegance.Great place great food great cocktails great vibe great service . I will definitely return and bring my friends and family.

Just came back from this beautiful restaurant. The Welcome we got was excellent. All staff were very welcoming with a smile. We were asked our choice of seating then promptly the gentleman brought over a jug of water with lemon and ice which was great. I was with my daughter and very active 2 year old granddaughter who would not keep still. The gentleman who took our order was very child friendly and made us feel at ease. This establishment was very clean and cutlery was spotless. The food was outstanding and I could tell that it was made with fresh ingredients. The presentation of the food was really nice. The cocktails............what can I say.......wow, they were beautiful. The best I've ever tasted. The relaxed ambience of this place made it even more unique. If you want a restaurant with class, excellent customer service, great food and drink then this is the place to go. I've already made plans to return! Reasonable prices. We spent around £30 a head. That included mains, sides, cocktails and service charge. Money definitely well spent😊

Had a nice post-lockdown meal at the talking Drum with my partner and a friend. The food was pretty good and the flavours were great. Cocktails were on point too. I was slightly disappointed that the lamb was a bit over-done and chewy and the fat hadn't been rendered down properly so it was inedible. Also the dinner plates were a bit of an odd shape, making it difficult to eat. That said, I would still eat here again. What really stole the show was our waiter. I didn't catch his name but he was French and had curly hair. He was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and made our dining experience a great one.

Food is sensational and I’ve never had anything like it. The ambience, decor and music is so special in this place. Additionally, if you’re fortunate enough to be served by the lovely Pai, you’re very well taken care of. One of the best waitresses I’ve ever had in any restaurant. In the aftermath of reopening after lockdown, we waited a long time for food and there were issues with paying via card. I have full confidence the Talking Drum team will have these resolved by the time you visit. The food is a must try!

Went there on a Sunday afternoon and had a good experience. Customer service was great, food arrived on time, the manager/cocktail mixologist guy was really helpful and the cocktails we had were very nice 👌🏽 The place has a really stylish interior design and decor, so the ambience would suit a nice chill out kind of vibe. Ladies toilets are cute for a cheeky selfie lol The food we had at the time was okay...could be better, we were told that the chef at the time was a temporary fill in and that their new chef would start later that week, so we will defo be back to give it a proper verdict!

I absolutely loved it! So much so, that my family and I went again the next day - it's our new fav spot for sure. The menu is amazing, the thought behind it and the combination of flavours were to die for (especially the soya sirloin), we were mm'ing and ahh'ing throughout- BIGGEST compliments to the chef. Besides the amazing food, the customer service was impeccable - particularly our waiter Sami who went above and beyond and really added to the whole experience. Such a vibe, would 100% recommend it.
