Adjacent to one of the oldest cinemas in London and downstairs from the Electric House, The Diner opens at 8am for breakfast, switches to the all-day menu at 12pm and keeps serving until late at night (you can drop in for dinner until midnight Monday to Saturday or 10pm Sunday).

The bar is open until late every day - offering up a wide range drinks including decadent American style milkshakes, smoothies and juices, a wide range of beers and ales, and great seasonal cocktails.

The Diner is all about unfussy combinations of the best ingredients; quick, friendly service and food that is sent straight from the kitchen as and when it’s ready. There’s booth and bar seating, and a specially chosen soundtrack played from the Diner’s reel-to-reel machine.

    Decent enough place. Had brunch. Coffees at £4 and an orange juice (very small glass) at £6! Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with a tiny piece of sour dough toast - tasted fine but £14 is over-priced.

    I had pretty high expectations of my eggs benedict and it was a bit 'meh'. I think it was the quality of the ham (pre-packed slice?) and the hollandaise was underwhelming, not quite sure why. It's a great space and really good for meeting friends and colleagues, I'd come again, but that's not inspired by the food.

    Didn’t have about 5 of the menu items from a fairly limited menu. Chicken Caesar salad was £21 and advertised as with anchovies which weren’t there (apparently used to be but now in the dressing, which you couldn’t taste) and the chicken was terrible, definitely not fresh - tasted reheated. Really disappointing for that price and poor service with no attempt to make amends for the salad situation. All in all, very disappointed.

    We happened to get THE best waitress we’ve ever had in the past 3 years only to find out she was leaving in a couple of days. Hostess was pushy about telling us she needed the table after having only been there 54 minutes?!?? Food was good! Service was better, but believe that was due to the better waitress. Actually got our drinks before the food for a nice change!

    Service was good, but again we did not received our drinks (a pot of tea and a bottle of still water) until after the food had been served even though the drinks were ordered right away. Its difficult to sit eating your breakfast with nothing to drink. It would be nice if the drinks could come out before the food (2nd time this has happened...)

    A cool diner in the middle of Notting Hill that suits all whether meeting friends or business. Food always excellent but with all restaurants recently some staff are not up to the levels expected. Overall though a fantastic venue worth visiting and the bloody mary's are good

    It was lovely but I don't think what I ordered was good value - ordered half a lobster which was £28 and didn't feel you got much for that although it comes with a side of chips. The service was excellent, however and I'd come back but just order something else.

    We turned up for food at 9pm. Shown to a table next to a posh family who’s three kids were out of control. The whole place had the vibe of a nightclub toilet so left as the last thing we wanted to do there was eat.

    Booked the electric diner and cinema afterwards for my boyfriends birthday, when we arrived we were sat at the back near the toilets on a table so near to the table next to it you couldn’t move between them without touching the next table. Ordered a cocktail and beer for drinks, the cocktail was tiny for the price and the beer was completely flat. When we went to order food the item my boyfriend wanted to order was out of stock as were various other things so he decided on something else, only for the waitress to come back and say that was also out of stock. However the couple on the table (right next to us) ordered after us and we’re given what we were told was out of stock. When we were given our food we had no cutlery and had to wait around 20 minutes for some. At the end we asked one of the staff why we were told food items were out of stock when other people were being served them, and we were sort of treated as if we were lying which was very strange. Have never left a review complaining before but I was really unhappy and upset that I had wasted my boyfriends birthday meal on this place as neither of us enjoyed it.

    The food we had was awesome but we got there and they had run out of 1/4 of menu items. They even ran out of French fries!!! The items we wanted were out so we made some changes and the team were great but we took our friends for the first time so not a great first impression. That said when the food came, it was great, just disappointing we couldn’t get what we wanted!!

    Only a limited brunch menu at lunchtime on a Sunday which we weren't expecting. We were tucked away at the back of the restaurant and its noisy with no natural light. The staff were very nice and the good was good but with drinks leans towards expensive for what was breakfast food. The Bloody Mary's were delicious but should be for £13! A bit mixed tbh. Probably not right for this particular occasion (long lunch with old friend) but OK for casual brunch.

    Poor service. Had to ask for the same thing repeatedly before it was done. Sat us on a table right under the air con vents so there was a cold breeze on us throughout the meal. First mocktail was terrible. The second was better. The one and ONLY vegan thing on the menu was sold out so I had to have the cheese toastie which was disappointing. The broccoli side dish was very hard not just Al Dente but hard. Fruit flies everywhere. The whole experience was so underwhelming and disappointing. The other dishes everyone else ordered seemed okay but the kids salmon dish was a tiny portion, skin not crispy - overall nothing like what the Electric used to be and a big disappointment.
