Our family had the pleasure of dining at the OXBO Kitchen restaurant during our stay at the Hilton London Heathrow Airport hotel. The restaurant has an excellent reputation for providing high quality, healthy, and mouth-watering dishes. The restaurant sources local ingredients where possible, all freshly prepared to order by the team of chefs, then presented to perfection. The kitchen has it's own garden, where they grow fruits and vegetables. Many of the dishes on the menu are made using ingredients taken from their own garden. This ensured the ultimate in freshness.
On arrival, we were amazed at the overhead lighting and lush greenery display. The OXBO Kitchen has gleaming wooden floors, combined with modern tables and chairs. It gave the feel of a five star restaurant with beautiful settings. Our family was excited to try their dishes and enjoy a wonderful meal together.
Throughout our dining experience the staff we welcoming, attentive, and friendly. After gong through the menu, we decided on spiced cauliflower fitters for starters. They were delicious and crispy. Our main course selection included two plant burgers with chips, flat bread served with hummus and vegetables, and a vegetarian lasagne. The lasagne was overflowing with butternut squash, spinach, mushrooms, and Sussex Charmer cheese, charred broccoli, garlic, and chilli. The dishes were absolutely mouth-watering, filled with delicious flavours.
Our children loved their plant based burgers, that were served with crispy chips. We enjoyed our flat bread and lasagne. Taking into account that a large amount of the vegetables came from the hotel's kitchen garden, is was bursting with fresh ingredients, cooked to perfection.
Even though the meals were filling, the children wanted to try dessert. We ordered Knickerbocker glory, a caramelised banana brioche for the adults, and vanilla ice cream for the children. Each dessert was presented beautifully, ending the meal to perfection.
Moments later, to our surprise, the staff brought out a birthday dessert for our son which was totally unexpected and we were really touched by this gesture.
As a family, we agreed that the meal we had at OXBO Kitchen at Hilton London Heathrow Airport, was nothing short of exceptional. We all loved every mouthful of food we devoured. The setting is beautiful and the staff are outstanding, ensuring we received a first class service. Amazing to think that a restaurant of this calibre can be found at Heathrow Terminal 4.
