"I dinned at Kenny’s yesterday, 29th of May 2026. I was looking for a place for a bit of dinner and I saw this quaint place that looked newly done, still had that fresh smell of new paint and new furniture on the side of Hogarth road. The restaurant as a whole was absolutely gorgeous and the bar was stunning, both contemporary and vintage. It had a feeling of a live art gallery.
I was welcomed with smiles and cheerfulness brimming from
Ear to ear! I was given top tier service from the start. The service went beyond that robotic, manufactured care most people are well accustomed to in London, a transactional acquaintance of a customer and vendor.
I ordered 4 sides, Hummus Paphos, Appliance Burrata, Smoked Ham Hock & Chorizo and the Semolina bread. Ordered the Ken Bun as the main and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
The food was brought to the table within 15 minutes and was brought it the manner I requested it. All of it together except for the dessert!
The exec chef brought the food himself and explained the origin of the food and where he source ingredients. The chef’s personal touch elevated the dining experience at Kenny’s, it also simultaneously elevated my expectations of the food.
He went on to explain, the Burrata is brought from Puglia and tomato grown in an abandoned London Underground tunnel using a hydroponic system.The balance of flavours of the burrata, not sweet tomato and the light olive oil perfectly rounded the flavour profile of the light starter!
The homemade semolina bread I think is a must have with this starter, the crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside, this simple combination soothes the soul!
The homemade hummus had the perfect balance of tangyness, sweet and sour and that rich earthy kick. Toasted chickpeas rounded the dish with a bit of crunchiness too! The texture was smooth and velvety, just perfect!
The ham hock and chorizo was incredible, captured the complete flavour profile. It was crispy, spicy, tangy and also the white sauce that garnished the dish cools your palette so you can enjoy every bite without compromising the taste! You simply cannot stop eating! I wish there was main dish of the sort! Absolute 10/10!
Now to the main dish, the hero! The Ken Bun! From the soft lightly toasted, brioche buns, the generous and juicy burger of the absolute best quality meat, the sweet and tangyness from the carmelized onions, the thick crispy sort of Carmelized bacon strip and to top it off the runny egg York cooked to perfection! I was told the eggs are organic and brought from Cotswold by the chef.
The dessert, Sticky Toffee Pudding, When I put a spoon full of the sticky toffee pudding with its Madagascan vanilla FroYo custard cream. The warm and soft pudding in the rich velvety sticky toffee sauce and the custard cream froyo makes every spoonful a moment stuck in time! This ranks right on top with the tiramisu I had from Burj a few years back! Absolutely stunning!"
