Loved it. Great service and great food. Definitely going back
Very nice cozy cafe, pasta was very delicious, and the service was good
We dined early 6pm so 1st people in restaurant. It is my local so I know it well. The menu is changed fairly regularly so often new dishes to try.
Good brunch place really nice and friendly. Coffee sometimes takes a bit longer to come out but it’s worth the wait. Good food - the courgette eggs is really worth trying!
Excellent food as always! Great wine. Nice service. Highly recommended.
Delicious fresh food served by charming staff. A great asset for the neighbourhood.
We always love it at Manuka & keep coming back with friends and family
Amazing food , Joseph and his team are great hosts
Food was great and well presented, as well as reasonably priced. Service was a little slow - we had to ask for water three times.
Amazing food and great atmosphere. service very quick and friendly. Can't wait to go again as they have a large menu which changes often. highly recommended.
Waiting staff seemed a little frazzled- like they couldn't quite remember how to do their jobs. Food tasted amazing!!!
very friendly service and busy on a tuesday night . One criticism was that as the night went on the noise got louder and louder but apart from that very good
Well worth a visit. Food is delicious and reasonably priced but you do need to book in advance as it is small and gets busy quickly.
Delicious food and very kind and helpful waiter. Would recommend to friends and certainly visit again. Great cocktails too!
Fantastic food, delicious drinks and fanstastic service. Warm ambience, lovely menu and very reasonable prices too. Highly recommended- we will be back. We had a faultless evening- thank you so much x
Great Sunday brunch was the best way to recover from a long day on Saturday rehearsing and performing the Verdi Requiem at St Paul's Church, Hammersmith.
We has a wonderful brunch here - beautiful food, and great service!

Absolutely delicious - we had four starters to share and a side and was the perfect amount of food with a tapas feel!
Excellent meal, with service to match, always consistent and superb value.
Very nice place with great service and amazing food against a reasonable price.
Exceptional food. Good, attentive service. Awkward atmosphere which improved once the restaurant started filling. However, the cramped confines of the limited space and very few covers is a slightly negative factor that is possible to overlook due to the excellent cuisine. Prices are consistent with the type of fare offered . The location of the restaurant is also a drawback . Liked the open kitchen - always illuminating in a restaurant and It also ensures that the food hygiene is of a high calibre. A good restaurant to visit for a special occasion.
Easily my favourite restaurant. Everything about it is fantastic. Especially the new gin bar.. Chilli passionfruit cocktail.. Amazing
Very impressed flavours were fantastic and the staff and service was second to none.
Had a wonderful evening at Manuka kitchen, food was excellent as was the service. Only 'negative' we could give is that the portions (especially desert!) are quite small. Overall had a great time, we will definitely be going back again!
Great service, nice ambience. Food quality was excellent. A bit pricey for the size of the portions, otherwise I would have given the maximum score.
Excellent food, great atmosphere, and we didn't even go to the bar downstairs! Loved it team manuka
My wife and I, visiting from Australia, happened to be staying in the Fulham-Chelsea area for a couple of nights. Manuka was recommended by word of mouth, so we booked. So glad we did as it was a great dining experience, linked with friendly and professional service and an intimate and very welcoming ambience........ all at a reasonable price compared to some London venues. The mussels (from Scotland, my original homeland!) and the scallops were mouth-watering starters, and we thoroughly enjoyed our mains, being the duck and gnocchi. We'd definitely go again at a heartbeat. Not many places would get a maximum rating from us, but this one does! Pete and Clare Fraser
Great brunch and friendly staff. Will definitely be eating here again soon.
Didn't enjoy the meal, the steak was not cooked to medium as requested (it was medium rare) and the corn cakes are basically pancakes with some corn. Crappy breakfast and not worth the money spent. So disappointed.
Amazing food as always. Took my mates to brunch to try it for the first time, they loved it so much they ordered a second plate to share!
What a lovely place. Food and service both outstanding. One of those places you might just walk by and not realise it's there - worth stopping!
Great food in a cosy atmosphere with very friendly but professional service. Good value. Unfortunately I did not get time to check out the new cocktail bar.
A great moment Staff very sympathic Good menus, many choices Fine food
Wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful atmosphere! This small neighborhood restaurant works hard to be delicious and charming in a city full of restaurants. Duck confit and venison special were both outstanding and the recent addition of a downstairs bar offering 40 different gins is a boon for cocktail lovers. The wine list, though small, is very well chosen and reasonalbly priced. They do a lovely weekend brunch which we will be back for. A perfect gem of a place!
Delicious food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. It's small so book early and enjoy!
Cosy little restaurant close to Fulham Broadway station. Went there for brunch with friends. Interesting menu, delicious food and immaculate presentation...at a very reasonable price! A hit with all 6 diners at our table.
Wonderful food and excellent service. Good location too in center Fulham. Rate 6
I live manuka kitchen every time I go the food is delicious, the cocktail bar downstairs is amazing!
food was great, the brunch menu was bit more imaginative which was refreshing
Great little place with good service. Portions vary a lot, some orders are huge, some are pretty small! Smoked salmon was so salty it was hard to eat but everything else was lovely
Brilliant service and delicious food! We didn't have much time, so we mentioned this to the waitress and we got extra speedy service. I would definitely recommend.
The food was absolutely delicious and service fantastic, will return!
A real find. Good food, warm and friendly staff, great atmosphere. What's not to like
First, let me start by saying this is my third visit to Manuka Kitchen and on two occasions the food from the small menu has been lovely. The service however, has been in decline since the restaurant first opened, and I am upset to report that today's visit has confirmed my initial misgivings. I made a point of booking a table for brunch, as this place is tiny and therefore fills up quickly. The booking was for a table of six (for brunch); upon arrival only four seats had been made available. I advised the wait staff that we required the small table next to us for the rest of our party, which they consented to. We sat down and shortly received notice that the sixth guest would not be joining us. At which point, we were advised that the staff had given the small table away to another party who had walked in. The staff asked my guests and I to squash up against the back wall. We suggested that as we were now a party of five, we could use a chair on the end so the small table that was originally ours could be given away ... to be be told there were no chairs available. So we took one from the small table that had been given away, as no-one was utilising it at the time (there is no way even three small ladies could squeeze up on one side of the original table and be expected to eat comfortably). It should be noted that the table that was given away was not utilised for over 45 minutes during our stay. Now credit where credit is due...for the staff helped retrieve a handbag. I've never designed a restaurant, but closing a gap between a booth seat and a wall would seem to be a sensible thing to do. So when one of our party, being scrunched up to accommodate three people seated at a table designed for two, went to place her handbag behind her, it promptly fell down between the booth and the wall. Thank goodness the handbag was zipped closed, or else the contents would have been lost until the next business moves in and redecorates. The staff came to the rescue with a broom handle and retrieved the handbag in short order. Perhaps we should have beat a hasty retreat at this point, as that was the high point of the service. Once all that drama (not enough seats to meet our booking, tables being taken away, handbag retrieval) had settled down, we were able to order our food and drink without much ado. There was no grapefruit juice for one of our party, but it was no problem to change to orange juice. When the food arrived, we were all satisfied although one of our party found her corn fritters a bit dry - but still enjoyable. So praise goes to the kitchen, as this is obviously what keeps the punters coming back for more. Now, dear reader, we come to the part that rewards you for staying through this disappointing scribe... When paying the bill, Manuka Kitchen count the cash in front of you ... and then announce to the manager - across the restaurant! - that the table is not paying a service charge!! We normally leave tips in cash form after we settle the bill and if any one of our party had intended to leave a tip (I had, although I found the service on the poor side), that settled it for me - definitely no tip. We advised the waitress that the service charge is optional, told her that she had been very rude, and also said the same to the manager. Needless to say, as much as I like to support my countrymen in their endeavours on this side of the world, I and the rest of my party will not be going back to Manuka Kitchen again.
An intimate and friendly setting with lovely food. Our favourite neighbourhood restaurant.
Delicious food. I go there for brunch whenever I can. Yummy!
Great breakfast, cannot wait to go back! Service not the fastest but the food quality meant it didnt matter. They had forgotten that I called to change time so we did have to wait but luckily it wasn't long.
