Ealing's diners have not held back when it comes to giving their thoughts on the eateries across the borough.
TripAdvisor has long been a London staple for checking restaurant reviews as the capital's choice of food widens and some reviews can leave you recoiling from dining options.
Whether it's a popular eatery or a new restaurant, there is always an over-the-top review or two to be found after foodies are left with a bitter taste from a bad experience.
getwestlondon have found the most outrageous reviews left on the site as food for thought for regular diners -do you agree with the ratings?

Cocktails 'taste of pure paint thinner'
Illusions Bar and Grill has changed name several times but did not impress this couple who came in for drinks.
The cocktails' descriptions include being called "pure paint thinner" with "chewy and dry" chicken to match.
'Filthy toilets and prejudice against non-smokers'
This TripAdvisor user warns people to stay well away from Basrah Lounge, saying it "doesn't even deserve a star" after their "terrible" experience.
Although another reviewer added it was a nice setting, he also concluded the "food and service needed to be changed".
'I would rather pick out food from a dustbin'
The food at Paya Cuisine really hasn't gone down well with a number of customers, with one going as far as to say they'd rather "pick out food from a dustbin".
Another TripAdvisor review wrote: "I am never one to complain but I ordered £10 of food from this place, took one mouthful and threw the lot in the bin as it was inedible."
It was backed up by a different visitor who said: "Terrible food - inedible, soggy and old chicken not fit even for dogs."
How dramatic.
