Lovely spot. The restaurant is quite small but the food is excellent. Have visited numerous times for dinner and for brunch and have always enjoyed it. They also allow dogs in.
Good food with a nice atmosphere. The space is not massive which means it can get busy and a bit noisy, but overall a pleasant place. Not the cheapest of restaurants but I think the price is fair for the quality of food - the duck I had was perfectly cooked!

I’ve just put together my Restaurant Map of blog reviews, and it’s given me an opportunity to step back from two years of food blogging and look at it from a different angle. The map shows reviews by rating, and the density of reviews varies across the different districts of central London. According to the map I’ve spent an obscene amount of time in Soho and Mayfair, whilst neglecting other areas of London. In a move to fill up more of the map, I’m heading to Fulham today to check out the wares at Manuka Kitchen.
Best meal in England - 5 star. I've been eating out in England for the past two weeks and the Manuka Kitchen is the best food I have experienced - delicious! The flavours and presentation were amazing, every dish on the menu was extremely appealing and unique and even the choice of drinks (we tried cocktails and wine) were some of the yummiest I've ever had. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive and I already want to go back for another meal! Couldn't speak higher of the Manuka.
Great. I had dinner here with my boyfriend here on Saturday night. The have added some new dishes to the menu and I was seriously spoilt for choice, I wanted to try it all. We had 3 courses each, a nice bottle of wine and a dessert wine each and it came to £70 including our tip. The food was great and the service faultless. Just what Fulham Road needs.

Hidden Gem in Fulham. A friend told me about this little restaurant in Fulham. I went tonight for dinner and it did not disappoint. The food is simple but god damn, it is tasty. The goats cheese curd crostini is phenomenal, especially with the very quaffable organic white wine. My steak for main course was cooked to perfection and had so much flavour to it. For dessert we had some brie with marinated apricots, and also the brûlée which were both very good. I had a meal at Dinner by Heston the day before, and this blew Heston out of the water. The service is very warm and attentive. I chatted to one of the owners called Joseph, and you can really feel the love and passion that's goes into creating a place like this. I really hope this place gets popular enough for this to be a staple amongst the Fulham crowd (and the rest of London), yet also still gets me a reservation easily! It's so refreshing to dine at a restaurant like this with so much potential and at a fair price. Just go and try it out, and let these risk takers give you opportunity to show you a bloody good night. I hear their brunch on the weekends is already a busy affair and has some pretty delectable dishes. i will going back to try!
Fantastic meal. We had dinner at Manuka Kitchen with a group of about 20 people, and it was really, really great.
It is so difficult to choose what to have from the menu, but we had been there before so it was also a delight to work our way through the menu. We had to have the squid starter again, as it is amazing, as it the goats cheese crostini and the arancini were fantastic. I had the rabbit rigatoni for the main and it was beautiful.
All the food out of Tyler's kitchen is amazing, and Joseph is a wonderful host tending to the tables with real ease.
The atmosphere is cosy and intimate, definitely somewhere to bunker down on a terrible winter night!
Cathy n peter. My wife and i stumbled on this restaurant during a recent visit to London awesome meal!!! presented really well tasted great, staff were friendly and helpful, asta la vista ill be back. peter n Cathy.
Hidden Gem. Beautiful Cosy restaurant with superb service and even greater food. We booked for a festive night out for 10 and found to be greeted at the door with a warm welcome, tables set and ready for our big group, and beautiful food was flowing quickly out the kitchen. Great if you wish to relax with friends and receive some great hospitality. Will certainly be back.

Perfect birthday at Manuka Kitchen. I first stumbled across Manuka Kitchen one Sunday morning and looking through the window to the brunch menu scrawled across a chalk board I was tempted enough to pop in. At the time I just happened to be looking for a restaurant for a birthday dinner and so I asked on the off chance whether Manuka could hold a dinner for 20-25 people.
Owing to the restaurant not being able to seat much more than this I didn’t expect Joseph the Maître d to be so instantly accommodating. And that is what my main attraction to this lovely little Bistro has been ever since, their accommodating, helpful, totally fuss free approach to helping you enjoy beautiful food. And so, Manuka ended up hosting a dinner last Saturday evening for 22 of us where they provided an exceptionally well-priced set menu including wine for all my guests. We shared 5 varieties of starter which were all spread plentifully down the middle of our table. A humble Mac n’ cheese delighted just as much as the trendy bone marrow and saffron arancini. Although my personal pick was the dandelion pesto and goats cheese crostini, a flavour simply delightful.
Joseph asked that we had chosen our mains beforehand, a good decision which allowed us to busy ourselves with chatter and drinking before plates were swiftly laid in front of us filled with perfectly cooked steak, chicken or fresh market fish. Manuka Kitchen was a beautiful venue to have my birthday, simple yet inviting with tiny tea lights and warm wooden fixtures. I cannot recommend the venue, food or staff highly enough and can assure you I will not hesitate to come back. In fact I think I left something behind on Saturday so I better just pop back this weekend
Absolutely fantastic food at incredible prices. Such a lovely, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Honest goodness. Simple menu, honest tasty food and best of all the people behind it. Go Now before this little gem gets swamped! Tip: ask about their special tea.. All the best, Joseph and Tyler. I bet your only worry soon is how to cope with crowd
It was amazing!! Can't wait to go back! Excellent food and service with great atmosphere.
Thank you very much Manuka!!
Best food we have had in London!. We decided to try Manuka Kitchen for dinner last night and were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and the excellent service. The first thing that stands out is the bistro style menu, filled with different mouth-watering (and very well priced) 'Small Plates' which allow you to try lots of different dishes. All are perfect for sharing. My favourites were the crispy squid and the dandelion pesto and goats cheese crostini. The little extras, such as the complimentary freshly baked focaccia bread on arrival and the generous pours of very reasonably priced organic Pinot Noir, were the cherry on top. I highly recommend this new restaurant.. we are going back to try the big brunch menu this weekend!
A great laidback place with awesome food, the veal meatballs, arancini and chocolate pud were a highlight, can't wait to go back.
Great evening at Manuka Kitchen. Had a really lovely meal at Manuka Kitchen last night. We had the bonemarrow and saffron arancini, dandelion pesto and goats cheese crustini, and crispy squid as small plate starters, then the cod and the rabbit rigatoni for the main course. Finished with a cheese plate, the honey and saffron creme brûlée, and pavlova. It was £90 for 3 people which also included a bottle of NZ pinot noir. Beautiful food, amazing value, great service. Small and cosy vibe, really nice place to stowaway on a rainy evening, we would definitely recommend it. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu.
A short walk from Fulham Broadway tube station you will come across a newly opened Bistro in Fulham Road. Run by Joseph Antippa and Tyler Martin this new venture is sure to be a hit with the locals...
Great neighbourhood restaurant, intimate venue and personal service. Well thought out lunch/dinner menu, food was to a high standard and well priced.
Friend recommended a place for brunch. Typical small-ish restaurant tucked up in a row of shophouses.
Relatively empty at 1030am. Service was fast.
Ordered their classic Garden Scrambled Egg.
Excellent presentation. Really good blend of ingredients... everything mashed together nicely.
Great place to grab brunch/lunch
We had the most amazing time at Manuka kitchen, the food was incredible and we were so well looked after! Manuka has a lovely vibe, which is totally made by the wonderful people who work there. This is a must visit, great value for money and we can’t wait to come back!
Delicious food from start to finish, we went in the evening which felt more of a tapas style and we ordered several dishes to share. As you can see their "small dishes" are generous!
Delicious! A truly hidden gem and one that deserves much more praise and attention! Smiliest of waitresses, delicious food and a very local and cosy feel.
Lovely food and warm, genuine service at this cosy local.
Menu is small but interesting and changes seasonally.
We had an excellent seabass ceviche, pork belly ( perfectly cooked with crisp crackling in a yummy sauce) and the market catch was really good too.
Dog friendly!
It’s a definitely 5 star place!
Menu is very interesting and varied according to the season. Food we ordered was served in impeccable way and was extremely tasty. I would say I ate my best pancakes in London here! Great selection of drinks! So people who need something else than coffee will be impressed - we got juices and teas. Very fair pricing. I left the place with “Wow! I wanna come back” thought in my head. And I definitely will be back!!!
Had a really lovely meal here this evening - every dish was exceptional, beautifully flavoured and evidently freshly cooked. Would recommend the chorizo, squid, steak and bolognese. Service was very attentive too. Booked with the Fork so also very good value. Don’t be put off it it looks quiet - a must try if you live locally!
It is an amazing place!! Really cosy, the staff is very friendly and the food is sooo delicious! Highly recommended! We will definitely go again!
Impressive restaurant, food quality are excellent. The level are precise, taste are well balanced. Staffs and boss are super friendly and nice. Kids friendly- high chair is provided.
Excellent brunch/ breakfast place in Fulham. Small and understated, some seating outside. Book ahead as you are unlikely to get a table. Staff are really attentive, service was quick and the quality of food was awesome. I think the pancakes could do with a bit of mascarpone or something to complement. Of the many places in Fulham, this is one of the best. Support local independents.
Nice food. Bit expensive plus service charge added. London prices I suppose
Can't believe my wife and l have only just discovered this hidden gem in Fulham. Such an authentic feel to the restaurant, which comes through in abundance with the food. Our new favourite dining spot in South West London.
I’ve tried so many pancakes but this one’s woow 🫐 DELICIOUS! & the staff very attentive.
Actually one of the best breakfast I've ever had in London. I stopped by because the environment seemed nice and the seats outside were on the sun. The service was quick and the owner was talkative and fun. To be honest, when I received my plate I was a bit disappointed because it looked small but after the first bite I changed my mind. All was high quality and tasty. I really recommend this place.
Relaxed ambience, attentive service and carefully created dishes.
The serving of the Blueberry Pancakes was generous, just a little dense for my taste.
The Spiced Red Pepper on Hash Browns had perfectly poached eggs, fresh veg on the avocado with crispy hash browns which were also a little heavy for me. A matter of preference, rather than quality of ingredients or skill of the chef.
I loved the Ginger, Lemon and Honey Tea presented in a cute teapot with honey on the side.
The waiter kindly suggested other times for us to visit explaining there are different menus on the weekend and a more energetic vibe.
On a quiet Wednesday morning, we found it a lovely place.
Great brunch with some lunch options on the menu !i had the Ragu bolognese it was perfect.
The whole vibe of the restaurant is nice and the manager was super nice and friendly
The only downside is that it can get too packed with a lot, so if you’re already past the pandemic I would definitely recommend it !
