Quilon restaurant | London's best Indian restaurant | Kensington ...

Due to its popularity with Lords, Ladies, Ministers and Members of Parliament, Quilon is one of the few Michelin-starred restaurants with its own Division Bell.

When a Division is imminent, Members are alerted by a bell that rings throughout Parliamentary buildings, summoning Members of Parliament to the Division Lobbies.

For the rest of us at Quilon there is free wi-fi.

A Division Bell is rung in the immediate vicinity of the Palace of Westminster to signal there is eight minutes before a vote.

Division Bell is also the name of Pink Floyd's fourteenth album.

Researchers, led by long-time Pink Floyd collaborator Aubrey “Po” Powell, spent more than two years hunting down memorabilia in the homes of band members including bass player Roger Waters.

Instead, here was a boisterous café-bar serving smoked short rib of beef glistening in birch syrup and burned sweet potato with horseradish crème fraîche.

Or a dish of warm, rich saltmarsh lamb ribs roasted on a layer of smoked aubergine with a plate of sweet purple figs and Jerusalem artichoke turned with blue-veined Blu di Bufala cheese.

Blacklock: restaurant review | Jay Rayner | Life and style | The ...

In London and elsewhere there are now places that do only fried chicken or steamed Chinese buns or, as with this week’s restaurant, only chops.

The idea of a “Japanese” restaurant covering all the bases from raw fish to ramen to battered things thrown in the deep-fat fryer is alien there.

The one complication: you’ll have to find mates who want the same small number of things.

Blacklock is founded by three veterans of the Hawksmoor steakhouse group, so the quality of the meat need not detain us.

The only clear mark of the Hawksmoor group is in the pre-chop bites: a trio of crackers for £3 stacked with either egg and a curl of salted anchovy, a hunk of cheese and their own crunchy pickled vegetables or something called “filthy ham”, which had run out the night we were there.

We stopped by for a late lunch and had a chilled cucumber and yoghurt soup, which is easy to get wrong but here was spot-on: tart and sweet, heady with garlic and a hint of dill, scattered with chives and slicked with olive oil.

The soup could have done with some accompanying bread, but this minor blip was forgiven with the arrival of a towering plate of ingenious courgette linguine with almond and parsley pesto, nutty wild mushrooms, rocket and parmesan – a juicy plateful of deep flavours offering all the pleasures of pasta with none of the carb coma.
