Moya

Absolutely incredible food, as well as warm friendly service. It has the intimacy and kindness of a mom-and-pop place, but is classy and high-end in its decor. Lovely atmosphere that makes it perfect both for a casual night out and for more official dinners. The portions are very generous, and the price is really a bit lower than I'd expect for the high quality and portions of food. I had the halusky with sauerkraut for my starter, confit duck for my main (which comes with gratin potatoes), and Slovak fruit pudding for dessert. I was more than stuffed by the end (I think 2 courses is enough, here), and everything tasted amazing. My water was refilled periodically without me needing to ask, and the dishes came out quickly. All in all, couldn't have asked for a better night!

We were pleasantly surprised by Moya, with a rather simple but tidy atmosphere with only 1 or 2 other tables. We shared a few starters, which were great for sharing and were light enough to get us going. I ordered the confit duck for main course, and the meat was absolutely stunning, falling off the bone into a lovely sweet and salty sauce, alongside a potato gratin with a rich liquid cream. We finished with 3 desserts, full of fruit and summery flavours. The mojito I ordered was also well balanced and went down well.

Lovely restaurant serving comforting Central European dishes. The halusky starter was fantastic, with a strong aroma of paprika and balanced well with the sauerkraut. The pork shank was also nice, tender and flavoursome meat, and not too massive as to be intimidating to finish. The cocktails were very nice, and the service was friendly. The goulash was unfortunately quite disappointing, as the sauce was surprisingly bland, and could have done with some sour cream for contrast.

Slovak cuisine is not widely represented in the UK and some ingredients can be often difficult to find, but these guys do a fantastic job at producing the most delicious traditional dishes I've ever tasted outside of my parents' kitchen. I'd highly recommend visiting! This is the only place I know of that will put Becherovka in your cocktail (Honeysuckle,thank me later).
