Roka Charlotte Street
“Stylish robata cookery full of freshness and umami” - AA Inspector
LONDON W1, LONDON POSTAL DISTRICTS
Our Inspector's view
This super-cool go-to flagship of the Roka brand, an enduring magnet of the capital’s beau monde since 2004, shows that London diners still have a big appetite for stylish contemporary Japanese robatayaki cooking. The light-flooded room’s wrap-around plate-glass frontage looks onto a high-energy scene, with on-trend hardwood furniture and ringside views of the open kitchen’s action. The menu’s high-gloss fusion temptations (including a tasting option) run to a beguiling roster of sushi, sashimi and tempura to trump-card robata offerings, perhaps sea bass fillet served with yuzu-shisho and ginger seaweed salad, or lamb cutlets with Korean spices. Desserts, like baked cheesecake with guava and black sesame crumble, round off a classy act.

About the area
Discover London
The UK's capital was founded by the Romans shortly after they invaded in 43AD. Since then it’s evolved into one of the greatest cities on earth. From a bloody, squalid history to the vanguard of fashion in the Swinging 1960s to the buzzing metropolis it is today, London has something for everyone. There are very British pursuits like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and an impressive collection of traditional English pubs. And that’s not to mention world-renowned arts venues, galleries and museums, award-winning theatre and unrivalled shopping – all found within a few Tube stops of each other.
London’s royal history is not to be missed. Visitors can roam around one of Britain’s finest medieval castles and royal prison, and learn about the final days of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London or, for the less bloodthirsty, visit the Queen’s London home, Buckingham Palace. Don’t miss out on exploring the capital’s Royal Parks – from St James’ Park and Hyde Park in the centre to the majestic Hampton Court and wilderness of Richmond Park in the southwest.
