5 of the best world cuisine restaurants in London

By Carrie Larwood, June 13, 2014

Five London restaurants that offer a more unusual dining experience…

Kona Kai offers a truly unique setting in our capital city. This strange, mysterious and atmospheric venue provides an unfamiliar menu that is really fantastic for the adventurous foodie. You’ll be able to enjoy yourself into the night here, too – as an enormous list of exotic, fruity, hand crafted drinks are accompanied by the resident DJs pumping out classic party tunes until the early hours. Kon Kai also offer cocktail making parties, which has proved popular with hen parties, and it’s also possible to hire this venue exclusively for corporate events.

Indian – Imli Street

Far from your typical curry house, Imli St. has proved an unrivalled favourite among London’s Indian communities due to the authentic menu of street food and traditional dishes that may perhaps be a little too acquired a taste for your average British tongue. This vibrant restaurant is affordable and stylish, with a contemporary décor and a well stocked bar. Thoroughly recommended for those looking to treat a friend to a taste of home, or simply to broaden ones red-hot horizons, Imli St. is proving to be choice no.1 for people who really know their curry.

Continental – DSTRKT

There are few London restaurants that can boast the standard of interior design here at DSTRKT, let alone the extensive and powerfully tempting menu. A taste of every corner of Europe can be found here, and the food is skillfully cooked – but DSTRKT provides a slick city experience with theatre, atmosphere and style, as well as a lively nightclub atmosphere after hours.

Deep sea pearls – Green’s Oyster Bar and Restaurant

This unusual and elegant oyster bar prides itself on a sterling reputation and ability to cater for a wide variety of functions. Here, you will find champagne and oysters on ice – a romantic setting indeed for a special occasion or to ask an important question! There’s also a hearty menu of meats, other fresh fish and vegetarian options, but it would be much like ordering a hot dog at an ice cream parlour if one were to avoid the restaurant’s mouth-watering signature dish. It can be incredibly difficult to book a table in this sought-after venue, so call Function Fixers today to guarantee the best seat in the house on the date you’d like to go.

South African – Shaka Zulu

This outstanding restaurant aims to transport its customers into the world of ancient Africa – with top-to-bottom theming throughout the venue to create an authentic, exciting and unique environment. The food is here sublime, and as you can imagine, red meat is the specialty of the menu and you can expect generous portions. Brilliant for a night out with friends due to the extensive (and sometimes hilariously unsettling, due to the frankly bizarre names) Zulu Cocktail Menu, this restaurant is equally as suited to an early bird dinner with young children – they’ll be enchanted by the colourful décor, tempted by the kid’s menu, and well looked after by the accommodating staff.

Function Fixers can book any and all of the above venues for private functions, dinners and corporate events – so call us free of charge today to discuss a complimentary site visit!
