About Lorenzo's Kusina
Lorenzo's Kusina is a Filipino takeaway in London, at 3 Sunny Gardens Parade, run by Chef Lorenzo Maderas and his two brothers. The cooking draws on memories of growing up in Tarlac and covers both street food and family meals. Jerk chicken and braised beef are among the dishes on the menu. The brothers aim to match restaurant-level cooking in a takeaway format. Their meals are built around sweet, sour and salty flavours alongside a mix of textures.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the jerk chicken, with diners also naming the jerk insal, bao buns and slow cooked beef, and one praising the braised beef as tender. Several single out the honey glaze sauce and the homemade lemonade, described as fresh and made with real fruit. Portions are repeatedly called hefty or huge, and a few say the flavours are fresh and the customer service friendly, with one mentioning good music. Several compare the cooking to a high end restaurant without the pricing. The caveats are mixed. One reviewer found the food okay but not worth the money, saying extras were unreasonably expensive, nothing was explained about them, and the wait felt long. Another wanted more seating at a new restaurant. A neighbour who skipped the food complained about discarded takeaway containers left on the grass and street outside, saying the restaurant makes no attempt to clear them. Praise often closes on diners saying they have already recommended it to many people.

“Okay food but for the money paid it was not worth is, I paid like 18£ and every extra was unreasonably expensive and they wouldn’t even tell you they would expect me to know.and had to wait like 30 min. And Yh customer service horrendous.”
- Paul Fredstone
“Can’t in all fairness comment on the food, though my dog definitely could. Reason for this is that I think the restaurant must offer some form of discount if their customers promise to discard all their rubbish, including many containers that still have food and/or bones in them directly on the grass by the restaurant or on the street nearby. The amount of rubbish is incredible and the restaurant clearly are comfortable having said rubbish visible right outside their door as they make no attempt to collect it. Twice my dog has lunged for one of these discarded packages and discovered some bones in them that nearly chocked him. Perhaps the restaurant could just clean up the area before closing so residents and their pets aren’t so affected as I am definitely not the only one fed up with this. Happy to change my review and even order from here if something is done; it would take a few minutes each evening or perhaps a dedicated bin outside provided by the restaurant when open.”
