Inihaw – Authentic Filipino Grilled Delights in London’s Charlton Village

Inihaw, a cozy Filipino gem nestled in London’s SE7, offers an intimate dining experience with only 18 seats, perfect for those seeking authentic grilled flavors. From the moment you step in, the warm hospitality shines through—just as it did for diners like Dennis Tam, who described a friendly welcome and insightful menu guidance that sets the tone for an unforgettable meal.

The heart of Inihaw lies in its mastery of traditional Filipino grilled dishes, where every bite tells a story of balance and boldness. The pork belly, praised for its perfect crispiness and tender meat, embodies this harmony, especially when paired with garlic fried rice that tempers its slightly salty profile. Not to be missed are the mixed grilled pork platter and the famously light, crispy pork skins that elevate the texture and flavor spectrum. For a true Filipino culinary adventure, the enduring favorite Dinuguan stew delivers an intense, savory depth that captivates and challenges the palate.

Beverages like iced tea and calamansi drinks add a refreshing counterpoint, cleansing the palate and complementing the richness of the food. Desserts such as banana fritters provide a sweet, comforting end to the meal, rounding off a menu that expertly balances complexity with familiarity.

What truly sets Inihaw apart is its ability to re-create the warmth and comfort of home-cooked Filipino meals within a compact setting, making diners feel embraced by tradition and flavor. Whether dining in or taking away, the exceptional service and quality keep customers coming back, as does the promising expansion with a new branch soon to open at Westbourne Park Road.

Inihaw is more than a restaurant; it’s a vibrant celebration of Filipino culinary heritage in London, where crispy textures, bold flavors, and heartfelt hospitality converge to deliver a deeply satisfying experience.
