Megan's on the High Street Restaurant (Kensington)

You're walking past the usual High Street suspects when Megan's pulls you in with the smell of proper cooking and actual humans having a good time. It's the kind of place where locals have claimed their regular tables and the staff actually remember what you ordered last time. The menu tracks across the Mediterranean with real confidence—Greek, Turkish, Lebanese influences all playing nicely together rather than fighting for attention. It's bright and unpretentious, the sort of restaurant that works just as well for a weeknight dinner with mates as it does for something slightly more dressed-up.
