Best BYO restaurants in London - Decanter

From the simple café that transforms into a Thai restaurant by night, to the sophisticated bistro-style venue offering contemporary fusion food.

For example, if you happen to have chosen a Thai BYO you can guarantee that the chef is also going to be Thai, so the food will be authentic.

Thanks to BYO restaurants, you can sample some of the most delicious and unusual food, visiting places that you may never otherwise have been to, and can be more adventurous with the wine you have.

The restaurants are scattered all over London, from Brick Lane to Chelsea and from East Dulwich to the Strand.

Catering for both vegetarians and meat lovers, you can sample spicy lamb cutlets or fillets of tilapia, which are delicious with toasted pitta bread and green chilli sauce.

It’s not that I don’t like the flavours, the aroma or the wonderful combination of ingredients normally found in Asian food, but my poor taste buds just can’t cope with the profuse amounts of chilli usually found in every dish.

After visiting Alounak however, I have discovered kebab dishes similar to Asian ones, minus the heat!

With only one meatless dish, there is a poor choice of main meals for vegetarians but there is a wider variety of starters.

The most popular choice of main dish is the ‘koobedeh’ (ground minced meat cooked with herbs and onions), and comes served with either bread or rice.

‘Chelo kabab koobedeh’ -the national dish of Iran - is my preferred choice when I visit Alounak as the lamb is always delicious and perfectly cooked, the rice buttery and the portions very generous.

The restaurant reigned as the “King of all Persian restaurants in London” for all my years growing up until Valentines day, of all days, when the food and service was so poor that it caused Alounak to get crossed off my list!

Months later, BW, a regular at Alounak, hinted that we pay a visit to the restaurant just so I wouldn’t lose complete hope in the place.

BW did the traditional butter practice and then did something different; he sprinkled some sort of red powder all over his rice.

This was my sort of comfort food – hot melted butter on soft fluffy saffron rice with meaty chunks of heaven.

Sadly, I don’t think my hips will allow me to consume rice drowned in butter five times a month, but it’s the sort of place I would have to visit at least once a month to get my Persian fix!

Please…” If one thing is certain to spoil an otherwise glorious meal, it is the querulous, whiny voice of a fractious child at a nearby table.

Unable to pick a nit with the decor (“I love that stained-glass door at the back”) or service (“quite charming”), boredom set in and a familiar gleam entered her eyes as they alighted upon the occupants of the next table.

The very word “kebab” is of Persian origin, so we majored in grilled meat – the two dishes we ordered were sensational.

Chelo kabab makhsous conjoined a strip of delectably fatty minced lamb with a thinly sliced lamb fillet, the pair served with salad (dotted with jalapeño peppers), and saffron-tinged rice.

We also shared the day’s special, chelo khoresh b adjeman, tender, flaky lamb casseroled with fried aubergine in a rich tomato sauce.
