Josephine's Restaurant (Fitzrovia)

• So took a chance and are delighted we did
• My friends and I gave Josephine's a go with an open mind
• The staff were polite as we were seated and the menu was interesting
• The food really let us down as they overcooked a chicken dish with some random sauce
• I grinned and beared with it and we didn't leave a tip
• Really enjoyed it here I am filipino and the food was just like how it's supposed to be
• Josephines is a Filipino restaurant that will often be overlooked on the bustling Charlotte Street
• I've put off coming here for years despite it being very close to me as I am Filipino and was more than ready to hate anything that wasn't home cooked
• The Biko Bibingka (glutinous rice cake) was also better than my family would make
• I've been here a couple of times and the food is always good
• It's the only Filipino I'm central London and the only Filipino I've ever had so take this with a pinch of salt
• Apparently the restaurant has been there since the mid 80s and it's currently struggling with rent going up and chains opening all around it
• The restaurant was empty when I arrived and in the duration of 1 one hour
• Filipino cuisine is an interesting mix
• Quite a basic Filipino restaurant in London but a good acquaintance with the cuisine
