Silva - Ealing

I have been to this restaurant three or four times now, and on each occasion food and service have been outstanding. I had lunch here the day before yesterday starting with red pea soup, and followed by goat curry with rice and peas. The red pea soup not only had red kidney beans, but also chunks of carrot, a slice of sweet potato and a scotch bonnet pepper. Goat curry was mild to medium with soft, tender, succulent meat literally falling off the bone, accompanied by rice and peas and salad. Portions are enormous and two courses (not including service) came to just £12.50. There is a short cocktail list which I will be ordering from if I ever come here in the evening. I didn 't have room for dessert.

Today, I ordered delivery through Just Eat from a restaurant I had eaten at before - the food was excellent. However, after they accepted my order, the restaurant called to say they didn't have something I ordered. When I declined their offer for something else, I asked if they would inform Just Eat. The response was that I had to call a 0344 number. I explained that the fault was with them for accepting the order they couldn't fulfill. Their response was dismissive and rude, so I decided to cancel my order. I value good customer service, and the attitude of the young lady disappointed me. This experience has made me reconsider choosing this restaurant as my go-to option. My rating of the food is based on a previous visit in 2016.

"Incredible Italian restaurant close to Shaftsbury Theatre...the staff is so welcoming, the Italian pasta is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable! The food is authentic and the Pasta Bolognese paired with a Rose' wine was excellent!"

I just finished a delicious lunch at this restaurant, which included curry goat, plain rice, plantain, fried dumpling, and salad, all accompanied by passion fruit juice. It was absolutely excellent - I can't believe I haven't been coming here before.
