I may have just had the best pesto pasta of my life! It was so tasty, and the serving was so big, that I have enough for tomorrow too. That’s if I don’t eat it throughout the day, that is. Such quick, friendly service, and an amazing price for what you get. I wish I’d gotten a cannoli too as those looked delicious. I think I just found my new favourite cafe.

We're the 2 ladies from South London who visited yesterday. Thank you so much for the lovely warm italian greeting and a delicious lunch. my daughter loved the huge bowl of carbonara and sunflower is now her favourite place for pasta. I had the vegetarian breakfast which was good but the halloumi was a bit overcooked but I was so hungry I are almost everything. lovely cup of tea as well. its a little bit pricier than our usual place but definitely worth it and will visit again. For an eaterie near regent Street it's still good value and I would recommend it. could be more vegetarian options tho!

Sunflower kitchen, Maddox Lane is not the place to go if you have Hyperacusis. I love trying restaurants especially independent ones. Sunflower Kitchen is a rare find as it is located in Mayfair which is quite unusual in this day and age but back many years ago there were probably more than one! Anyway, my first visit, I just had tea which probably annoyed them. I only had tea that day because it was too noisy so I might as well come on a quieter day for food. Went back when it was quiet and asked if there was smoked salmon and poached eggs which I saw on the board. The guy said it was available and asked if I wanted toast but I just wanted eggs and salmon. When it came, there were grilled tomatoes, sliced avocado, halloumi on it so I figured it was there to increase the food bill so I just played along with it to see if that was the case when I asked for the bill. For me it's all about the dining experience which I reflect each time so each restaurant experience is memorable like this one out of the 10K+ restaurants I've reviewed collectively on different platforms. So when the bill came, it was £18.95 which is indeed a bit pricey because for that price you can eat at better restaurants. Anyway, I said I only asked for salmon and eggs but it came with halloumi, tomato and avocadoes which I did not ask for so he reduced the bill to £15.95 which is a bit more reasonable I guess. Perhaps they need to charge around £18.95 per head to survive in this day and age. Another persons bill came to £18.95 but I don't know what they ordered but the food they serve is mainly pastas, lasagne, sandwiches etc which are around £10.95 on the lunch menu. Ironically, their google description says "Your honest & local independent serving daily fresh panini, pasta, salads & more " Erm OK!

I’ve come here for lunch over a few months now for the amazing pasta. They have an array of fresh pasta that you can choose from, they load it into this box and you can add anything you want onto it. I always get the breaded chicken with 3 kinds of pasta and best lunch ever. Super easy, super delicious, great price. The staff there are awesome and a super cozy place to grab a bite to eat. Definitely give this place a try it’s a gem tucked away off Oxford street!!!
