Best meal in Acton?

If you had to pick one meal from a restaurant in Acton, what would it be and why?

TrickyStraight contest between Menu C at North Chinaor Double baked cheese souffle with chips and maybe veg at The Rocketwith Beetroot Kofta and the wonderful veggie starter thing (scientific I know) at Bombay Brasserie coming up on the inside.Why?

Why?I'm surprised you ask that at this time of year.

Oh well if you are looking for romance, I would have thought the balcony at the Rocket or maybe the little French place - though not yet wholly reliable.Have never seen Acton as a romantic destination though.

Menu C at the North China - although if someone else is paying and I can go a la carte, then it's pork dumplings to start and lemon chicken to follow!  Their lemon chicken is amazing.I was disappointed with the French place, but it's early days, so I hope they sort themselves out.  Service was muddled, and the food tasted old, tired and dull.  Maybe it was just an off night.

Re the French place,catering down to a price rather than up to standard ? No a la carte unlike the SW5 operation.

Is that for ever or just as an introductory offer?I'm not sure about the link to the Earls Court place of the same name. Is there actually a connection or is it just people who used to work there?

If you like Indian, then Bombay Bistro. the dishes are extremely well balanced compared to most standard Indian restaurants. It is good for fish and vegetarian as well. Jubraj's dishes are not as technically elegant, but it has been a beloved work-horse for many years.

Which is this French place?

Definitely North China.  Our family meal: Grilled prawns, black bean chicken, lemon chicken, bok choi, french beans, rice.  So delicious.  My favourite Acton meal.  My favourite beyond Acton meal, too, especially if it's a bigger party and there is a starter, intermediate course (duck!) and dessert!

The French place is right next door to North China on the Uxbridge Road. It's very new and I hope has settled down now
