Since it is focusing on food, you might want to take out some of the guesswork:
i.e. some more direct browse options would be nice... such as
- I'm hungry - What's Open Near me now (this could be a
filter)
- Top rated
- Browse by type
Maybe have a login accounts where people can check off/rate places they've visited (for those adventurers that want to eat at every fish and chip shop in London.)
---
Marketing - Have you done any flyers? Visitors to London may not be aware of the service... Just as something as simple as:
Hungry?
[QR code]

Maybe add in a strip of various foodie pics to entice.

Here's my ongoing side project work on a mobile community resource: http://www.doplaces.com might give you inspiration...
Also it takes time to get traction via word of mouth certainly more than days. Keep up the good work.
