Kaifeng

Kaifeng is everything you might expect from an upmarket Chinese restaurant – pricey & bustling, with a gloriously diverse menu. The difference here is that the food is kosher, making this one of the few Chinese restaurants in the capital that doesn’t serve pork or seafood. Sweet & sour lamb is served alongside dishes of steamed sole with ginger & spring onion, sizzling steak in black pepper sauce, lemon chicken & fried noodles & rice. All this kosher food comes with a hefty price tag & you should expect to pay around £15 for most mains, though lunch set menus (from £17) can help to keep the bill down. Service is up to speed, which is just as well, given the 15% service charge.
