Serving #gyozadreams, Titu has landed in Mayfair.
Inspired by casual Japanese dining, Titu is a cosy, Zen hideaway from the bustling streets of Mayfair. Seek some respite in their minty fresh interior, complete with soft turquoise walls, light brown woods and beautiful Japanese paintings.
Keep it communal and fun with their mouth-watering range of small dishes, be it crispy chicken wings, baby squid or something more bougie like tuna truffle. Alternatively choose from their meat and fish dishes, including a sublime miso salmon and wild seabass. And why not go for something you wouldn’t get anywhere else? In which case, their veal ribs await.
Their drinks menu is just as exciting as their foodie counterpart. As well as a small selection of carefully chosen wines and beers, they have a cocktail menu with plenty of pop and fizz. Go for their specialist Titu Pornostar and keep the whole thing Japanese with their Japanese Slipper. Or see the evening through with a bottle of Sake!

Pablo Rutherford - dined at TITU on 28 September 2019
We had an amazing experience at Titu. The service was outstanding and the food was to die for. We ordered 6 courses and there wasn't a single one I could fault. The Juicy veal ribs and the shiitake rice balls were our favorites. Also, the atmosphere was great and relaxed. I would highly recommend.
Ryan Jones - dined at TITU on 28 September 2019
Very intimate restaurant, staff extremely attentive and great food! Favourites were tuna truffle and chicken/foie gras gyozas. Will be eating here again for sure!
Kalpesh Patel - dined at TITU on 20 September 2019
So TITU is just simply a little Japanese gem! Nestled in the middle of shepherds market in Mayfair this casual style restaurant is absolutely delicious and excellent quality. The gyoza were beyond dreamy- more like heavenly, and severed under a little pancake veil, almost like it’s a halo, or something so naughtily yummy you have to reveal it. The spicy prawns gyoza were our fav. But we can’t wait to try them all!
Our other small plate stand out dishes were: the tuna jalapeño, crispy chicken wings that had a gorgeous spiced coating, kimchi roll, cucumber tataki, truffle chips, and of course the crunchy prawns which were a MUST HAVE! The sauces and dips served with each small plate not only complimented but enhanced the dishes.
We also tried a very traditional dish Uni & Ika: raw sea urchin, tuna and squid served with a pipet of soy sauce. It was an unusual flavour and if your not up for experimenting I wouldn’t recommend it, but we liked it.
The waitresses were very knowledgeable, friendly and not imposing considering how cute and little the restaurant is. We splashed out on a posh bottle of Riesling as it was my birthday - it was divine and paired the meal perfectly.
I haven’t stopped talking about this place and highly recommend. Overall, totally scrumptious and I cannot wait to go back with family and friends!
Jyoti Ashford - dined at TITU on 10 September 2019
Not only one of our best First Table experiences but one of our favourite London restaurants! It is a tiny place and a squeeze, but well-designed interior, great wine (Te Kairanga Reisling and rose) and excellent food. Will go back for the fish tacos alone! Great staff. Thank you - we will be back.
Tim Jesudason - dined at TITU on 4 September 2019
Such a great experience. A little hideaway in Mayfair just a short walk from both Green Park and Hyde Park. Everything was perfect, from the delicious food which both looked and tasted great, to the custom-made cocktails and the pretty upside-down orchids in the windows that the owner changes every couple of weeks. The service was polite and attentive. The whole restaurant seats 14 max. so a little cosy but this simply adds to the charm. Highly recommended.
Antony Aziz - dined at TITU on 17 August 2019
Me and my boyfriend had such an amazing time at Titu!
This is a cute little corner building (literally 5 small tables) turned into a restaurant. It's on a gorgeous Mayfair square.
The day was so hot so windows were open and the sun was shining. The food was amazing and served quickly, cocktails were really well made and refreshing (and reduced in price because we were there early) AND the service was lovely and not at all overbearing. I literally do not have a bad word to say.
Our favourite dishes were probably the squid bites (they had no chewiness at all which is how it should be!) And the popped prawn(?) Which was a beautiful light batter. We're both obsessed with gyozas and they were also lush.
Will be back here with no hesitation. Thanks so much Titu
Georgia Bennett - dined at TITU on 19 April 2019
Michelin-worthy food and lovely setting. We had the crispy seaweed, tuna carpaccio with truffle, tempura, gyoza with beef, with prawns and chicken with foie gras and for dessert - green tea crème brûlée and mochi. All absolutely delicious. Not to be missed.
Ivana Daskalova - dined at TITU on 13 April 2019
I went to Titu with my boyfriend for a date night. The restaurant is in a beautiful square in Mayfair, and as soon as you walk in you are welcomed by a lovely ambience, with beautiful decorations and very friendly staff. The space is small and cosy, so you'll be sitting quite close to the people next to you, but we didn't see that as an issue at all!
The food is fresh and absolutely delicious, as well as presented to you in a beautiful way. The drinks are great and the service fast and friendly. We had a great time and would definitely go back for the gyoza!
Alina Raducea - dined at TITU on 29 March 2019
Titu is based in Shepherds Market, an intriguing spot in Mayfair, for a moment you could almost believe you'd been transported to Paris. The restaurant is tiny but perfectly formed - let's call it bijou. We didn't go mad with the signature gyoza (we'll do that next time!) instead opting for more of the small dishes, the showstopper was the tuna truffle but honestly everything that was presented to us with absolute joy, be it the miso salmon, the irresistible crunchy prawns and madagascan tiger prawn, chicken popcorn or clam miso soup. We expected the shitake balls to be a bit of a filler but even they felt decadent. It's not often you see pisco sours on the drinks menu so that was duly sampled and then at least four other diners were ordering smokey old fashioneds, which left a lovely aroma wafting in the air, they were clearly onto something. The staff were lovely too, all in all we were completely charmed by Titu. We will be back!
Leanne Mison - dined at TITU on 19 March 2019
What an absolute pleasure to dine at this cosy, friendly and super tasty restaurant! The service was fantastic - and the waitresses helped with recommending dishes and we had the perfect amount. We ordered a number of cocktails, the best whiskey sour I have had in a long long long time, and the smokey old fashioned was served in closh filled with smoke! I highly reccomend the chicken and fois gras gyoza and the lamb ones too! Would go back in a heartbeat.
Kate Bramwell-Green - dined at TITU on 13 March 2019
Dorothy our server was wonderful. She suggested and made myself a delicious cocktail the Igho Dragon. My friends and I ordered a variety of dishes to share between us, they were all delicious and came out in a timely matter so we didn't feel rushed. Great area and very cute and intimate restaurant.
Overall wonderful experience would definitely go back.

Bhavin Tailor - dined at TITU on 9 March 2019
We were very impressed by our meal at Titu! The food was delicious and well presented. We'd particularly recommend the vegetable gyoza and avocado salad - so tasty and full of flavour. The staff were attentive, and the cosy restaurant atmosphere gave the meal an intimate, homely feel. We will definitely be returning!
Katherine Yon - dined at TITU on 2 March 2019
Titu, situated in the heart of Mayfair this boutique restaurant is a hidden gem and an absolute delight to visit. The restaurant is a delightfully cozy and invitingly intimate, the music is contemporary and the atmosphere relaxed. The food was more than exceptional and we ordered off the menu some of this dishes twice, they were that good. We recommend you go now and take your nearest and dearest. Make sure to try the Tuna Tacos, we will be dreaming about these for weeks.
Miles Watson - dined at TITU on 10 February 2019
My wife and I went out to celebrate our anniversary. As we got married in Italy I was pushing for our favourite Italian, but she convinced me to opt for this Japanese in Mayfair instead. Having always struggled with chopsticks, I was hesitant, but am now so glad we went for it! We had a great time, delicious food and exquisite service.
I even ended up eating chips with the chopsticks!
5 stars *****
Joselito Giordano - dined at TITU on 9 February 2019
Brilliant meal with my in laws on Friday evening! To die for gyoza, salads, chicken wings and incredible crispy prawns. All washed down with a well paired white wine. Very cute and great service. We can’t wait to go back!

W Walsh - dined at TITU on 5 October 2019
Titu has definitely provided the best first table experience we've had. It is a tiny restaurant but very nicely designed, staff are always super attentive and friendly and the food in out of this world, from the miso salads, to gyozas, tuna tacos and truffled tataki! Great to hear they're looking to get a bigger venue. The First Table timing makes it perfect for after a matinee or dinner before an evening show too. Thanks - we'll be back!
Tim Jesudason - dined at TITU on 2 October 2019
A very unusual pleasant pre show meal for a Monday evening. Waitress was lovely , explained the menu and made and served a very good whiskey sour!! Food came out hot and very tasty.
Although a small place to eat in, it made a lovely change for something a little different.

We love TITU! What a cute little eatery. Everything we ate was delicious, although the sea urchin dish was a bit of an acquired taste. The truffle tuna was incredible, and we'd return just to eat that!

Amazing little gem! Tucked away in a quiet street it’s a really nice atmosphere. The food was incredible and so much variation for veggies/pescies. Wine was reasonably priced and the service was amazing, really nice staff!
Rory McCallum - dined at TITU on 1 September 2019
Another brilliant foodie experience at Titu! The food is delicious - we particularly loved the vegetable gyoza, calamari and popcorn chicken. The restaurant is small and cosy, perfect for an intimate date or quiet catch up with friends. The only area for improvement is that the staff could be more smiley and friendly, as they both seemed quite unhappy during our visit (but they were still polite).
Katherine Yon - dined at TITU on 23 August 2019
We shared tuna tacos, cep tempura, both prawn and vegetable gyoza, tiger prawn, and whole turbot. All delicious and extremely good value for money on this deal. Furthermore, an early sitting allows you to take advantage of a few drinks deals :)
Very good!

Wow!!! What a find in the heart of Soho! It's a tiny little restaurant on a corner St but the food, every dish, was jam-packed with flavour and impeccably presented! Had a delicious pre theatre dinner here, tempura prawns, prawn gyoza and the miso were a standout! Very impressed, sure to return :)
Zena A - dined at TITU on 13 August 2019

We had a really fabulous meal at Titu yesterday evening. We asked them to recommend a selection of dishes and they excelled in their suggestions.
Favourite dishes were the prawn tempura, tuna tacos, salmon miso and wagyu beef gyozas. We would highly recommend a visit.
Diane Lynch - dined at TITU on 29 July 2019
Lovely dining experience in this really sweet little restaurant! Great cocktails, delicious wine and tasty food (the shiitake rice balls were a serious highlight!) service was also perfect - thanks all!!
Jo Selman-Smith - dined at TITU on 25 July 2019
Titu is charmingly tiny with their menu offering small dishes to share. You need around 3-4 plates per person, depending on how hungry you are (more if you are starving). Everything we tried was extremely tasty and came to our table quickly, you can order in several goes if you are indecisive as we were :)
Rice balls were my favourite, and baby squid my husband's favourite and surprisingly we found gyozas (that everyone loved here) to be okay, but just okay. Maybe spicy prawn gyozas are not their best ones, so ask for recommendation.
Overall, we truly enjoyed the food here! One minor thing I did not appreciate was the fact that one waitress kept taking plates away from our table while we were still chewing - not my type of customer service, I prefer to be given enough time to eat without rushing.
Ivana Stracenski - dined at TITU on 12 July 2019
Small restaurant but nice food.
Giampiero Mazza - dined at TITU on 6 July 2019
Love the menu! I recommend the Pop Shrimp Tempura & Tuna Tacos. It was very delicious and we all enjoyed ourselves, definitely over-ordering! Environment was cosy and intimate, with lots of light filling through. One of my new favourite places in Mayfair.
Patricia Petrat - dined at TITU on 16 June 2019
We absolutely love Titu! We found it on First Table last month and had the loveliest meal - the food & service were both unreal (highly recommend the truffle beef tataki). Loved our experience so much we took our friend back this month and they felt the exact same! Will definitely be frequent diners :) Thank you Titu & First Table x
Taylor Rose - dined at TITU on 22 June 2019

Excellent food and drinks - very small/intimate restaurant that was playing quite loud 'club' music. Was a little bit too much for early evening! Will definitely come back.
Amy Bottrill - dined at TITU on 3 May 2019
Excellent, each dish felt well thought out, was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.
There was only about 7 tables in the entire restaurant so it was a bit of a tight fit, but you'll definitely look past this once you try the first dish.

First time we have used First Table and we chose Titu, based in Mayfair. Upon arrival I promptly showed the waitress my reservation email and she instantly knew what it was and showed us to a table. The restaurant is in the corner of a building located in a cul-de-sac/cut off part of Mayfair, the nice thing about this was that the street immediately outside the restaurant is pedestrianised so there was no traffic going past which made the ambience even more peaceful. This leads me onto the next thing which is that the restaurant is very cosy and you will most likely find yourself enjoying your meal close to another couple/group. We didn't find this an issue at all and the waitresses were very good at carefully making their way around the restaurant ensuring they didnt knock anyone/anything. In addition the music was quite funky and flowed well with the early evening that we were there, it was at just the right volume level which was ideal.
For drinks we had a mixture of cocktails and beer they had which was nice, and for food we ordered a mixture of small dishes and then a main (salmon) with boiled rice. Again the staff were very good in bringing the small dishes out gradually so that the table wasn't too overcrowded and created a nice flow to the evening.
Only slight downsides was that as the evening went on it did start to feel a bit too crowded due to the small size of the venue and it did take a while to get the waitresses attention to let us pay the bill! They did automatically apply the First Table discount as expected which was good and hassle free.

We accompanied our food with margaritas which were also very good.

Wow what an incredible dining experience we had at Titu. It’s in a lovely location just near green park in the alleyways filled with bars and cafes.

Highly recommend and I’ll definitely back.
