Donia

Occupying the site where its neighbours Imad’s Syrian Kitchen and Darjeeling Express both started out, Donia is a hugely likeable Filipino restaurant that’ll have you googling flights to Manila before you know it. The young, Filipino-born owner grew up in the UK so expect to see plenty of homegrown produce along with those sweet and sour flavours. Crisp adobo mushroom croquetas are a must, as are the succulent chicken Inasal and the lechon (suckling pig) served with a lovely liver and peppercorn sauce. Bring friends, ignore the slightly testing acoustics and share the love.
