Fashion-house cafés for a dressed-up coffee or lunch. Dior, Chanel and Kith don't have cafés in London, those are on the Paris page. Flag the shellfish allergy.
Ralph Lauren's restaurant: dark wood, equestrian art, American comfort food, coffee and cocktails. A 5-minute walk from Burlington Arcade, so it works on Friday or Saturday.

Already your Sunday dinner. Khari's 'best Indian food I've ever had.' Other branches in Carnaby and Covent Garden if you want it twice.
Sri Lankan curries and hoppers (crispy rice pancakes). Khari: 'fireeee.'
Filipino food. Khari: 'fireeee.'

From Lea's Events, a guestlist community (leas.events). They post a new selection every week, so message them for Fri 6 and Sat 7 Nov and ask to be put on the list. Mayfair clubs are strict on dress (heels and dressy looks), check ID, and the list doesn't guarantee entry. The screenshot you saved was Halloween week.
