Sylhet Nights

Absolutely fantastic food, prawn samosas are to die for, first time I had them and can't seem to get enough of them.

I'm actually in love with their chicken dansak 😜

You have to try it, highly recommend this place, food has always been 10/10.

Had the Boneless Bengal Roast pot meal and Lamb Bhuna pot meals. Both were very tasty and I've been to plenty indian, bangladeshi cuisines and by far the best thing after home cooked food. Quality was defo there. Highly recommend. Was told by the main man to try out Naga Achari which is certainly next on my list. Keep up the good work!

Probably the best Indian I've ever had! Amazing flavours and amazing dishes. The naga biryani was sensational!! 5 stars from me!

What can I say....

Tradition bengali food done commercially, the concept and menu is brilliant. Still working my way through the menu and looking forward to it!

Really nice food and the dish’s are superb in flavours and  customer service is outstanding , all the dish are so tasty and freshly made , outstanding no faults at all 10 out of 10*

Halal Street Kitchen

I've found my new favourite place and it rocks! The trio platter delivered an abundance of flavour in every bite. The rice, cooked to perfection. It was so delicious, I couldn't stop to take a full picture of the platter! Highly recommended!

Heard a lot of good things
So we wanted to try

We ordered from Uber eats
Our total was £19.34

Went for the TRIO Combo

Halal Cart Chicken
Tandoori Chicken
Lamb kofta

With Rice & Salad

White Sauce
Green Hot Sauce

Seasoned Fries.

We really liked the presentation,
Everything was still hot upon arrival

Portion size was a little underwhelming
For what we had paid.

The Halal Cart Chicken
Tandoori Chicken
& Seasoned Fries
Were the most flavourful

The salad was good
As was the White Sauce

The Green Sauce was okay
But not as hot as expected

The Rice was okay
But next time we will probably
Try out the bread

The Lamb Kofta
Tasted a little bland
So a little more flavour would help.

We got a call from the establishment
Just to check as it was our first order

The gentleman was very polite
& Said that they will send a
Complimentary drink

But must’ve been too busy
As nothing arrived with our food

We still haven’t held that against them
& Have given an honest review.

Best wishes to everyone at
Halal Street Kitchen

& We will definitely try
More of the menu in future.

The food was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Every dish we tried—from the juicy grilled meats to the delicious sandwich wraps—was packed with authentic taste. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast and efficient. The place was clean and had a great vibe overall. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for quality halal street food. Will definitely be coming back soon!

We ordered the trio platter(£20) some fries(£4) & couple of drinks(£6). We called up literally 5 mins before closing time to ask if it’s possible to still order & the friendly polite, member of staff assured us it was good to go. We also didn’t see an option of just wings alone instead a wings platter which would’ve been to much for me & my partner to share on top of what we already was ordering, so we asked if we could order something instead and if they could replace it with just a portion of wings; the lovely gentleman told us we didn’t need to and he’d add this to our order on the house which was an amazing gesture which we really appreciate, not just that, to our surprise we got extra pots of sauce and extra couple drinks.

Now the food: This trio platter is next level! The meats are juicy, smoky, and seasoned to perfection – proper flavor bomb 💥. You’ve got tikka, kebabs, and tender chicken all lined up like a dream team, sitting on a bed of fluffy jasmine rice that just soaks up all the goodness. Add the fresh salad + dips on the side and it’s game over – this is a serious feast. 10/10 recommend if you’re hungry and want something that slaps 👌🔥 Now let’s talk about star of the show - These wings… wow 😮🔥. Perfect char on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. They’ve got that smoky, grilled vibe that makes you wanna lick your fingers clean. Honestly, once you start, you ain’t stopping – addictive is an understatement. Must-order if you love wings, trust me 🙌🍗

Thanks to this restaurant for the extras & this is our new go to spot now when we’re feeling something to fill us up yet still somewhat healthier than other options and very delicious 10/10 place would defo recommend! 💯💯

Flavours are 10/10.

Seasoned to perfection.

Owner went above and beyond as i made a mistake accidentally ordering to an address i wasn’t at on Uber. when i explained this error, the restaurant owner himself drove to deliver me my food.

Best customer service ever!

Shankeys

Shankeys never misses! I have been twice this year and would definitely say it is my top restaurant in 2025. The cauli cheese is out of this world! The service is also amazing with the staff being super attentive and always ensuring you are enjoying your meal. Prices are super reasonable and not overpriced even tho it is a small plates restaurant - which is super rare in London!

The only thing I did not enjoy the last 2 times I have been are the potatoes- they don’t take my fancy but that is just a personal preference!

I will be back soon!

I was out with my niece for a chat and drinks.  Always passed this place for many
years, just thought it was a type of cafe. We popped in not realising it was a booking system.  They allowed us in, and we had an amazing experience. Service was excellent, food was very delicious even though we just had snacking plates. Drinks 🍸 were tops I will definitely, returning as I live 2mins away. Have to take my sister think she would like it. I tried oysters for the first time it was a lovely explosion of flavours.
A gem restaurant on my doorstep.

Omg those oysters!!! Would come back just for those… our other stand out dish was the veggie sharing plate! A lovely ambience and vibe! Will be back for sure

The food and drinks selection was amazing and really reasonably priced. The staff were really attentive and personable. Would 100% recommend visiting if you can. Everything we had was delicious!

Delicious! Amazing food, drinks and service - I would absolutely come back here and recommend it to anybody in a heartbeat!

The Bourbon

Great place to come and drink bourbon (obviously). We came on a Friday night after dinner. The place was busy but there were a couple of tables free. We asked the barman for bourbon recommendations and his recs were great. He was very knowledgeable on the different bourbons and could explain what made them special. They have a good looking cocktail menu too. We will definitely come back!

£20 for burger, fries, 4 wings and a pint - great value for tasty food. Barman very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go back, some of the best value in the area.

Stopped off here for drinks with friends and it was a delightful experience: great cocktails, an owner who's hugely knowledgeable about everything he stocks and a superb atmosphere. Highly recommend, will definitely return if I'm in the area again.

Had the most amazing burger tonight and struggling to think where I've had better. Triple with bacon and cheese was spot on. Everything you want and need from a burger. 3 parties, with american cheese, onions, pickles, tomato and lettuce. Fries also included.  Great value and amazing taste.

Previous review;
Hidden gem. Amazing American food with all the finest American whiskies and even cocktails to to keep the misses more than happy. New menu, great burgers and chips omg, If it's a Friday or weekend I suggest booking just in case. Enjoy 😉

I have been a frequent customer in the past 5 years. Dominic the bartender is extraordinarily professional and good at chatting. Good selection of the bourbon, wonderful live music on Saturdays and decent food (I prefer the smokehouse though).
The location is not quite ideal. But it is a good American bar for residents in Hackney and Tower Hamlets.

Italian soul food that transports you to the streets of Rome, one bite at a time. Located in the heart of London, this is where London's food scene comes alive.

Mile End Pizza and Kebab

One of the best takeaways in Mile End! The food here is always fresh, tasty, and made with care. The kebabs are full of flavour, perfectly cooked, and come with generous portions of salad and sauces. The pizzas are just as good – loads of toppings, plenty of cheese, and served piping hot every time.

Service is excellent too – the staff are friendly, welcoming, and quick with orders whether you’re collecting or getting delivery. Prices are very fair for the quality and portion sizes, and you definitely get value for money.

If you’re in East London and craving pizza or kebabs, this is the place to go. Consistently delicious, reliable, and easily a favourite spot. Highly recommended!

Hands down one of the top takeaways in East London! The kebabs are packed with flavour and served with fresh salad and warm bread. The pizzas are generous with toppings and perfectly cooked. Portions are huge, prices are great, and the service is always welcoming. Can’t recommend enough!

This place never disappoints. The chicken doner is juicy, the naan is soft, and the pizzas come out cheesy and hot every time. Staff are proper friendly too – feels like they really care about their customers.

Amazing food and excellent service. The kebabs are always fresh, pizzas are loaded with toppings, and delivery is quick. Best takeaway in Mile End!

The pizza here is absolutely amazing,the toppings taste fresh and flavorful, the staff is super friendly and welcoming. the service is very quick.

Where innovation meets tradition - expect the unexpected in every beautifully plated creation. Located in the heart of London, this is where London's food scene comes alive.

Liverpool Street Chop House & Tavern

Wonderful time at Chophouse

Had dinner at Chop House the other night. Wanted a quiet evening, planning my business and treating myself with some great food and it turned out to be so much more. The place was busy with good ambient vibes perfect for me. I had an absolutely amazing lady looking after me, Zsuzsanna, one of the managers. She was very pleasant with an extensive knowledge about the food menu and also about the drinks. Nothing was too much trouble to her and I could even choose one of their special steak knives for my main course which came with a fascinating story. The quality and presentation of the food was absolutely amazing. It's been a long time that I was impressed as much as I was with this place. Even the manager Martin came to my table for a friendly chat to check on me and to make sure I have an excellent time and thanks to all these personal touches, I had one of my best dining experiences in London.
Thank you for all the Chop House staff for making my evening so special, will be back soon. Fabulous time

I can not rate this restaurant highly enough, the atmosphere is lovely, the staff are incredible and so attentive especially our waiter last night Ali, he went above and beyond complete with talking us through the meat cabinet that he brought to our table and even down to the knives to use for our meats we chose. And now for the food it was incredible from start to finish the melted butter and bread, starters and the chateaubriand and pork chop along with sides to finish off with sticky toffee pudding. Over all absolutely incredible. Thank you for an incredible experience and fantastic food.
Victoria Gibson

Had such a great meal here. The food is simple and classic but done so well. Stand out dishes for me were the Beef & Bone Marrow Crumpet, Lamb Chop and surprisingly the Pea Soope which was a recipe from 1600’s 🤯 Loved it and will be back!

This place is absolutely incredible in so many ways. Firstly, the service from everyone was fantastic with a special mention to Karim who was so friendly - he couldn’t do enough for us. Secondly, the food. Honestly the best steak that we’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully. Finally the menu, there is such a wide choice to choose from, all of which was incredible. We will be back for sure.

Great food, unfortunately dessert took a while to come out. We ordered a selection of steaks, including lamb and pork chops. These were excellent, some of the best I’ve had. The rib eye on the bone was particular great. However they then took an hour to bring out dessert, for which they apologised and gave us a credit on the bill. It was a business dinner though so good food promptly would have been preferred. It was unclear why it took so long.

Essential Vegan Cafe

A Hackney Wick hangout from DIY party collective The Cause. I love that this cafe is nestled in with other food places, an upstairs bar and a record shop.

I only stopped in for a coffee and cake. I was warmly greeted and ordered the peanut butter caramel latte (it's as good as it sounds) and the mocha cake. 100/10.

Also green flags for being dog friendly. I can't wait to come back for lunch!

Great place with an amazing view to the river. I love their seitan bacon sandwich and matcha latte. Portions are really big and affordable.

Great vegan options. Good to sit on the terrace overlooking Stratford and the Olympic park.

I had the feijoada and a coffee, and both were delicious. Super chilled atmosphere and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

I love this local spot with great coffee and pastry options. I haven't tried the brunch and would look forward to trying that in the future.
It's hard to find a great plant-based café so I'm thankful for having this place close-by.
The owner is super friendly, and I love the spacious seating area with good music that's not too loud. Highly recommend.

PlantXology

Nice little stall. We loved the pani puri.

Authentic Indian food and good value, any dish with the tofu is a must try.

The attention to detail with the sauces was exceptional. We loved the spicing on the mince and tofu, it’s great what’s been done with the fake meats/tofu.

We go to Bricklane nearly every weekend and the tofu wrap is the best dish we have ever tried. Wish this was on Deliveroo!

I can't rate this high enough. Specifically went here today after a friend's recommendation. Friendly, welcoming customer service. And beautifully, flavoursome food. What a gem!

A Gem in Brick Lane Market!!

We had a walk yesterday in Brick Lane Market, my wife and my son.

As we heading to the main road, our eyes have been caught by this little stand "PlanXology"

When I have read it's vegan I was kinda, ok.....I love my meat but I also love trying....

My little one wanted some chips, and I only wanted a hot drink, my wife wanted to try the samosas....

While I was drinking my massala/chai latte, the flavours of the drink really got into my throat....the ginger....the spices ...was all well balanced...

And this is where I said ok,.  Let's try few more.

So we have ordered, the burger,  called Vadapav....my goodness this was sooo delicious once again full of flavour, the bun was tender inside crispy in the outside, not too hot for you to actually devour it like I did as I even forgot to take a pic for this review 😅

The main ingredients I think was potatoes and peas (hope I got this right but feel free to check and taste it as this the main subject). So delicious!!! One of the best burger I have eaten!!!

We have steamed rice with pommegrenates....along with the chickpeas curry for our main....once again ..well balanced flavour, well cooked chickpeas.
You would probably think because the chickpeas curry remains the pot this will be mushy or very weak ..in fact the chickpeas are properly well cooked and the rice...wow! It seems only them can cook the rice like this, all grains were separated none sticky you can count them 1 by 1 if you wanted to😅

The Samosas, packed of delicious spices my wife found it a little too hot but for me it was just perfect👌🏾

And we also bought their take on Carrot Cake. To take away.
This was divine!  The most delicious carrot cake I have eaten by far!
It is sweet yes...but the sweetness isn't coming from the icy sugar you have from a normal carrot cake which feels very heavy.
We have been told to warm it for a minute ...and if we can serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which we did OMG!! This is must!!!

The guy made us taste one of their product which I can't remember the name, it is for what we understood is a starter or "amuse bouche" I will be going back there to buy and make a proper review on this one.

So if you ever go to Brick Lane Market trust me, please do stop by and try whatever you want. From their Massala Tea, or the VadaPad Burger, the curry or the sweets.
Whatever you try, either you are vegan or not, I can guarantee you would love this gem.

We had the best Indian food here! It tastes like the curry’s in India and Sri Lanka, very original, tasty, spiced up so so good! And try the chai, also so so good ☺️

Vegan Biosphere (Vegan Buffet)

We stumbled across this lovely hidden gem and would highly recommend it! We had a lovely time here, the service was amazing and the owner was very warm and friendly. The food is all delicious. You get served huge portions of delicious vegan food and can request to repeat any dishes you want. 100% worth a visit

Amazing dinner and experience, highly recommend! Every dish was so thoughtful and the host was such a delight to talk to. We especially loved the summer rolls and the grains mix. We left feeling very full and we will definitely be back.

So glad I found this spot! Thank you for the delicious food and kind service. My partner and I miss Vietnam, and you brought us back for a moment! The owner shares the space at Viet Hoa and hopes to open his own place soon, so he needs all the support. Book in advance for week days, or walk in on Sundays. Cannot recommend enough, we will be back 🙏🏼

The food is exceptional and the head chef/host is very warm and welcoming. He puts in the effort to come and speak to you and the food reflects his attention to detail. The portions are very generous, great value for money. Can't recommend this spot enough. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

It's truly a special thing when you go to any restaurant and they become - one of the Defining points of your visit to any one place. Vegan Biosphere is that monumental experience. Rarely have I had such pure *joy* tasting every single plate placed in front of me; and you truly cannot meet a more Wonderful human being than Chef Tuyen. Run. Run to this place.

Beyond it being incredible finding an all vegan buffet(!!), the mastermind behind each dish really brought back that intimacy missing from so many restaurants today. Each course was a conversation; it was a link to Tuyen's homeland, his history, his journey -- and you could feel the passion and genuine interest as he watched you take that first bite or asked how it was. It's the kind of curated dining you'd pay an Obscenely large amount for -- offered for an extremely modest sum. Even after I ate (and I genuinely wished I had more stomachs so I could keep eating - Everything), Tuyen didn't rush me out; we ended up having an incredible conversation on what led us both to veganism and where we wanted to go from here.
I will never forget my evening at Vegan Biosphere and if this review can get even 1 other person to try it out, then I'm all the happier for it (as you'll be!). Wishing this amazing innovator all the blessings and good fortune this world can bring his way. (P.S. Try the exclusive 1 billion pound dish - you won't regret it. ;))

Pravaas - South Kensington

Absolutely delish, more modern take on Indian cuisine. Every dish was delicious and elevated from the version I had before. My favourite would be the lamb fillet rogan josh with potato dauphinoise. The chicken mangalorean was really nice with a flavourful and creamy sauce. Staff very friendly and attentive and we enjoyed sitting downstairs with a glass window into the kitchen.

Absolutely mind-blowing food experience! The flavours were outstanding — truly some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Every dish was beautifully prepared, rich in taste, and perfectly balanced. The ambience added to the experience — warm, inviting, and elegant, set in a lovely spot in South Kensington. It was my first time visiting, and I went based on a special recommendation — so glad I did! I’ll definitely be coming back very soon. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine with a refined touch.

Starters were excellent and the selection of pappadum was nice but very small, chutneys were served in tiny ramekins. I don’t think is appropriate to charge £4.50 for additional chutney so we skipped that. Mains were good as it was the service, perhaps a bit too much, over attentive in an artificial way, sometimes people like to be left alone. Lighting was too bright and the toilets lacked the finesse of a fine dining restaurant. Overall, a very nice experience that I recommend but I won’t return. I will discover a new place next time I’m looking for a fancy Indian!

grabbed dinner at this restaurant with a friend last week! was highly recommended by my aunt who went for dinner with a couple work friends previously in the summer. service was impeccable ✨ thank you for pouring my bubble tea into a restaurant glass (even though it was completely my fault for bringing in an outside drink). the entrees were so delicious. we got the duck and lamb for our mains. lamb was 10/10, duck 8/10. highly recommend in my books

An absolute hidden gem in South Kensington. I visited Pravaas with 14 of my teammates and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Pre-ordering was seamless, the service on the day was warm, attentive, and genuinely personal, and the food, just incredible. Beautifully presented, packed with flavour, and very reasonably priced for the quality. My whole team was thoroughly impressed. Thank you, Pravaas, for a fantastic meal. I don’t give out 5-star reviews often, but this one is well deserved. Highly recommended.

Giulia Restaurant

My new favourite place, a true gourmet experience with such special dishes and good size portions. Menu is small but delicious and changes every month. Service is awesome, friendly, professional and very attentive. Came back after one week and planing to go back often.

Giulia is a lovely neighbourhood restaurant with amazing food. The menu changes monthly with focus on seasonal produce, so it is always a fantastic experience (needless to say I go literally every month to try the new menu). Can’t recommend it enough. One of my absolute favourites.

So happy to have booked dinner at this little gem of a restaurant for my girlfriend’s 30th birthday.

We loved all the dishes we ordered - the quality of the ingredients and the combination of flavours really shone through & the service was fantastic.

A place that will no doubt leave you wanting to come back. Highly recommend! :)

I've been meaning to leave a review since our last visit in July. Giulia's is a special place. We've been coming here since it first opened and the food has been consistently amazing. We were so lucky to have this authentic Italian restaurant five minutes away from where we lived, and Giulia and her fiancé are a fantastic team. They've created something that is truly rare, with dishes you wouldn't find in hundreds of other Italian restaurants. All delicious because you can see the passion that goes into the flavours. We've moved to Manchester now, but when we're in London next we'll make sure to treat ourselves to a meal at our favourite place, Giulia's. Thank you for always welcoming us and treating us so warmly!

Came here in early July and had a fantastic experience. Both the food and service were sublime. Gulia was warm, attentive, and made us, and other diners,  feel genuinely welcomed. The young man also working the floor was excellent. Every course impressed: the starters, pasta, and mains were beautifully prepared. The pork cheeks,  a recent addition to the menu, I believe, were especially tender and succulent. We’ll definitely be back.

Amor Gastronomia

You pop in for a bite to eat on Holow Rd and then you're whisked away to a local "osteria" in an Italian town. You can practice a few Italian words and get rewarded for trying. The food is good, the atmosphere is friendly. A good option for an evening in the area.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday at Amor Gastronomia and it was absolutely unforgettable. The food was exceptional — full of authentic Italian flavor and beautifully presented.
A special shoutout to Michele, who made the evening truly magical. His warmth, attention to detail, and personal touches elevated the entire experience. He made us feel like family and went above and beyond to make my wife’s night special.
We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

I have been here twice. I met different staff's and they all are friendly. Food quality is good. Lots of options and very tasty. A cosy place with good Italian music. I will cone again for sure.

I went to this place with some friends and tried an excellent pinsa romana as well as some incredible fried gnocchi with gorgonzola. My friends, on the other hand, had a trio of delicious gnocchi and some outstanding paccheri with sausage and mushrooms. We finished off with two very good tiramisù.

I highly recommend this cosy and uniquely decorated restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back soon to try more dishes and for the vibrant, family-like atmosphere created by the staff.

Fantastic service and delicious food! Pamela was absolutely lovely—so kind and understanding. Even when we ordered the wrong dish, she was super nice about it and got us a new one without any fuss :)

A celebration of European culinary heritage with a modern twist. This Central London gem proves that modern european cuisine can be both traditional and innovative. With ratings this high, it's no wonder locals keep c...

YiQi

The food was amazing. The flavour and the portion are good and value for money. The signature wing taste amazing with honey glaze and charcoal on the wings. The crab curry with steam rice was top notch. Would always recommend this place to have a good and flavour Asian cuisine. BOBY service was attentive and caring. Keep up guys. Top class

Chill yuzi Crab: SO good! The sauce is this amazing tangy, micro-spicy, refreshing masterpiece. AND it came with little buns to mop it up (genius!)The crab was massive – my friend and I were huffing and puffing for ages!
Sambal Seafood Fried Rice: Huge portion with whole prawns and squid rings.
Nyonya Lemongrass Grilled Chicken: Every piece was crackling crispy outside and then – BAM – super juicy inside. The green chili sauce made it even fresher.
King Oyster Mushroom Salad: Grilled mushrooms, a zesty sweet-and-sour dressing, and pomelo bits.
Thai Iced Tea: It wasn't sickly sweet! Friends, for a Thai tea born in the UK, not being sweet means it was born to be a good milk tea! The Tamarind Plum drink is for all my sour-loving friends.
Service: Impeccable. It felt just like the thoughtful service back home – bibs for the crab, frequent plate changes, hot towels. The manager says they roll out new dishes almost every month. I need to come back weekly to keep up!

I can’t find one bad thing to say about the quality or taste of the food. We randomly walked into this place, and we’re so glad we did—everything was excellent. The only miss for us was the drinks (we tried the tamarind mojitos and the flavor just wasn’t great). Other than that, a solid 10/10. Highly recommend if you’re in Chinatown, London.

Alright, seeing this many high reviews made me suspicious but DAMN this food is outstanding and worth the wait. You must must try the Guinness crispy chicken. I think it was the best chinese chicken dish I have consumed. The green tea latte is delicious, and the pad Thai was awesome. But that chicken is to die for. And the staff are so nice and helpful. Highly suggest!!!

Love food, in the heart of Chinatown!

Amazing dishes my favourite was the Guinness fried chicken!

A elegant pan asian restaurant with tasty dishes!

Loved the ambience and service was great!

ANA Turkish Restaurant and Bar

As a big fan of Middle Eastern cuisine, I can confidently say Turkish cuisine holds a special place in my heart, and this restaurant delivered wonderfully on that front. The food and quantity were amazing every cold meze we tried had a great balance of flavors, though I personally found the salt to be a pinch more than my preference. Nonetheless, well done to the chef for putting together such a delightful spread.

The atmosphere was decent not over the top, and not in your face, just right for a comfortable meal.

Service wise, it was fast and efficient, which I appreciate. However, there’s a difference between being served and feeling welcomed. While the male server was warm and smiling, the female server seemed like she was simply going through the motions, without much warmth or hospitality. These little touches make a difference, especially in an otherwise empty restaurant. Still, overall, the experience was great, and I’d happily come back for the food.

We had a fantastic experience at Ana Turkish Restaurant in Kensington! From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed. Our server Moh was absolutely wonderful – friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. He made us feel at home and looked after us throughout the meal with such grace.

The food was incredibly tasty and truly authentic – every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into the cooking. Whether you’re a fan of Turkish cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place will not disappoint!

Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you, Moh, and the Ana team – we’ll definitely be back!

What a find! A truly delicious experience. The food is so well cooked, beautifully seasoned with such a freshness that is hard to beat. We had the best time here and the service was outstanding. Highly recommended.

Had mid-afternoon meal, very quiet but attentive service. We ordered the Ana sharer for 3/4 people and an extra side, the food was beautiful, taste and presentation! Came with a huge, tasty salad and a large side of chips. The meat was cooked perfectly and we finished everything. Finished off with some Turkish tea and baklava. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had the cold Meze and Ana set for 2-3 persons. The food was very tasty, big portions and enjoyed my first Turkish beer. They're a relatively new business, and I would recommend supporting them.

Cu4tro Restaurant & Tequila Bar

Located just a couple of minutes’ walk from Shaftesbury Avenue and the heart of Theatreland, and about five minutes from Piccadilly Circus, Cu4tro is a relatively new Mexican restaurant that’s been open for around four months.

The interior is spread across two floors — the bar and a few tables occupy the ground level, with additional seating upstairs. We were seated at a table for three on the first floor, which unfortunately hadn’t been properly cleaned — there were crumbs on the surface, and it felt a bit sticky.

We started with margaritas, but both the classic and mango versions were overly sweet and unbalanced, lacking the refreshing tartness you’d expect.

The Nachos con Guac were underwhelming — both the portion size and the flavour were average, with guacamole that didn’t stand out.

For mains, we tried a few dishes:
•	El Pescador (crispy fish, creamy slaw, pico de gallo, coriander, and house mayo served with salsa verde) — the taco arrived lukewarm, and the fish wasn’t particularly crispy.
•	Burrito King of Flavour (Mexican-style rice, cheese, lettuce, creamy slaw, black beans, pulled pork) — the pulled pork was fine, but overall the flavours felt muted.
•	Backstreet Tacos (pulled pork) — again, fairly average, and the fries on the side were limp with an oddly sour sauce.

Churros was also too oily and too much sugar on it with the accompanying chocolate sauce was inedible!

Service on the first floor was patchy — staff only appeared when bringing dishes, and there were noticeable gaps between courses. Payment is taken at the exit, though this wasn’t explained, so we sat waiting at the table for a while before finding out.

Overall, Cu4tro feels like it’s still finding its footing. The atmosphere is fine, but both food and service need polishing. If compared to a fast-casual Mexican benchmark like Wahaca, it would sit below that level in both quality and consistency.

It you're looking for purist Mexican food then this is not the place for you. Good for people keeping an open mind on Mexican cuisine. We had a small misunderstanding about our order but the server was super nice! Food fresh and tasty.

We had a good food here, we ordered many different tacos and quesadillas, most of them were great, however, i think we should had more compared to the price we payed, and two dishes were alright.
The staff are nice and friendly, the place is clean and looks good.

Great food and drinks, the staff are helpful and attentive, and just the right ambiance to have an intimate yet casual chat. After a minor hiccup with the bill, Andre was quick to respond and resolve it with me. Now that is what exceptional service is! Definitely worth coming back to.

This place is the place to go, food was amazing, worth it 100%. Michael was amazing, full of humour and great service. Recommend 100%

Mildreds Victoria

Mildred’s has been on my list for several years, I was finally able to go, and I was not disappointed, neither were my friends. Our food was perfectly prepared(very flavorful, nice ingredient combinations), had nice textures, and was nicely plated.

I ordered the green tofu salad with southern fried plant chick+n. It was very fresh. The sugar-snap peas added a pleasant crunch to the salad and the avocado dressing was very flavorful and refreshing. The marinated tofu was flavorful as well. The portion size was perfect.

My friends ordered the ale mushroom pot pie, the kimchi bokkeumbap, and tofu green salad. Our table shared the turmeric carrot humus, pita/paratha and lemon pepper fries.

Even as the restaurant started to fill up we were able to have conversations in normal speaking tones.

Mildreds Victoria will definitely be one of my go to restaurants whenever I’m in London.

I went to dinner with my friend on a busy Saturday evening. The place was bustling, we had a lovely time together. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the food was generally good and reasonably priced. My friend ordered the kimchi rice, tofu dish, which I tried and wished I'd ordered myself. I had  a veggie burrito dish, which wasn't as flavoursome or exciting as the rice in my opinion. However, we both absolutely loved the pistachio cheesecake. Overall a wonderful dining experience and we will definitely visit again soon.

We had such a lovely experience at Mildred's. Service staff was very friendly and accommodating. They could explain the menu and took note of any allergies. Food was amazing, everything we had was delicious including the cocktails. The restaurant itself is decorated very tasteful, but when full it is very noisy.

Went for a quick brunch with the family. We needed a vegetarian/vegan restaurant with a kids friendly menu and Mildred’s was the google search we landed on.

Nice relaxed vibe with great variety in the menu if you are vegan. Dedicated kids menu with the select not too far off from the “usual” kids favourites.

Star of the day was the kiri hodi with the pineapple, ginger and apple juice to match.

Lovely restaurant, food tasted lovely and staff were super friendly. My main dish however was rather disappointing. I ordered the mushroom ale pot pie and although it looked fab, it did end up becoming  extremely messy so didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. The pastry was just placed on the mushroom pie so went all over my clothes when I tried cutting into it.
I did end up having to move the pastry onto a separate plate and eating the mushrooms separate and the pastry part separate.

Brother Marcus Covent Garden

Can definitely agree with all the great reviews.
Nice relaxing set up, although restaurant was full on a Sunday lunch time, we did not feel rushed and was served by a very pleasan Soniya.
Soniya carefully explained ehich are the Gluten free options and gave good recommendations.
Food is very tasty for wach of our dishes.
We had the Gluten free Fried chicken, Shasuka with oita and Soniya has kindly offered and extra piece of super fresh Pita on the house.
The Peach and Olive oil cake was divine. Its been a while I had good Gluten free cake.
Highly recommend this place .
Thanks Siniya for making this dining experience so pleasant.

Great brunch spot in a fantastic location!
Probably the best location you could ask for. The service is quite good — if they’re busy, you can leave your phone number, have a little wander, and they’ll call you when your table is ready, which is a brilliant idea. On the other hand, it sometimes feels like there aren’t quite enough staff inside; we were forgotten once and ended up paying at the bar after waiting a while for someone to bring the card machine.
Marcus tea looks lovely and tastes great if you’re a fan of chamomile, and the smoothies are excellent. Portion sizes are fairly standard. The Eggs Benedict wasn’t bad, though the mustardy flavour isn’t typical and not really to my taste — but that’s just a matter of preference. The shakshuka, however, was very nice.

Amazing food, so well seasoned and prepared. Mezza options with a tonne of options; the haloumi in particular is a must. The service was also excellent with the staff who were friendly, joyful and approachable, which elevated our time there.
Ayanthi was our primary waiter and she was delightful and made our experience even better!

Had a wonderful experience at Brother Marcus Covent Garden! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent. A special thanks to AYANTHI  for her amazing service and warm hospitality. She made the visit even more enjoyable with great recommendations. The peach olive cake was something truly unique and left such an interesting and delightful taste in my mouth definitely worth trying! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for good food and great vibes.

A really lovely restaurant. The food is delicious and the staff were all super friendly.
I knocked it down a star because of a few details.
We received one dish a long time before the others. It was a side dish, not a starter, so I'm not sure why this came out so early. Luckily it wasn't hot.
Also, towards the end of our meal, the staff became very inattentive. They cleared away our plates, asked if we wanted the dessert menu, we said yes, but didn't receive a menu for over 15 minutes. We had to ask a second time.
Their card reader didn't work, so they asked us to scan a QR code to pay instead. We both would have preferred to pay by the machine, so this was a little disappointing.
Overall, it was lovely and I'd definitely recommend, but I think there's some fine tuning on timings that could improve the overall experience.

Pulse Bar London

We had a fantastic time at Pulse Bar for our recent work event! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch – super friendly and attentive, which really set the tone for the night. The owner is amazing – warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone has a great experience.
We had a blast playing beer pong, shuffleboard, and darts – such a fun setup that really brought the us together. The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a space where people can relax and enjoy themselves.
The drinks menu is extensive and genuinely impressive, with something for everyone – from cocktails to craft beers. The food was also spot on – tasty, well-presented, and ideal for sharing during a social night like this.
All in all, Pulse Bar ticked every box. The service, food, games, and overall vibe were exactly what we were looking for, and we’ll definitely be coming back. A brilliant venue for team events or just a fun night out!

I really enjoy coming to this bar when I go out, the drinks and the food is very nice. I love playing darts. My husband and my son enjoy playing pool. It's fairly priced, we went during happy hours so it was cheap. The staff is so lovely, they are welcoming and friendly. The place is kept clean and the atmosphere is great. They show football on the screens. I really recommend this place

Had one of the best sandwiches of my life with the best atmosphere. The bar was inviting and the owner was awesome. On top of that they had one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. If I lived in London I would go all the time. Perfect for dinner or a night out on the town. The bar has some of the nicest beer pong tables I have ever seen. They are custom made with led lighting. Thanks to them for such an inviting experience.

Had an amazing night at Pulse Bar London Bridge! Michelle was an incredible bartender, friendly and made great drinks. Nico, the owner, was super welcoming. And the best part? Meeting Hermes, the adorable bar dog! Great vibes all around , can’t wait to go back.

Go for the owner’s crazy Italian energy and stay for the food, drinks and games. Pulse bar is designed for groups of friends to hang out and get competitive - beer pong, darts, pool and more. The burgers are delicious and beers are cold. Nothing fancy - just right. Make a date.

Kricket Shoreditch - Kafé, Restaurant & Bar

Very friendly waiter and exquisite food. We asked the waiter to surprise us. That worked out very well! Indian with modern touch/feel to it. Fresh and comforty food, with subtle flavours as well as small explosion bombs, without being heavy or fatty. Loved the color scheme and the space. Hope to come back. In the meantime I hope the will consider a restaurant in Amsterdam.

Nice place and it did get very busy! The waiter telling us we only had 30 minutes to eat out mains was not good. Otherwise food is good, I recommend the venison. The coconut lassi was not for me and also if you order their chai tell them you want it hot otherwise they will serve it cold! Odd but true.

Went to Kricket in Shoreditch for dinner and had a really good time. The vibe was cool and relaxed, and the staff were friendly. Food was packed with flavour – a great mix of traditional Indian with a modern twist. They even brought out a grilled squash dish on the house, which was a nice surprise (and actually really good!). Everything we ordered was tasty and well put together.

Great Indian food. The best biryani I have had in a long time. The shrimp and chicken were delicious as well. We liked this place better than Dishoom.

Delicious and unique flavours of India with a twist. Beautiful pink decor. Friendly service. Recommend the pork neck curry, samosa and all the naan breads. The fried chicken could have been crispier and more flavourful. Overall a great experience

Brother Marcus Canary Wharf

I had a fantastic experience at Brother Marcus Canary Wharf. The food was outstanding – fresh, high-quality ingredients, full of flavour and beautifully presented. What really made the visit exceptional was the service. Lisa was amazing – warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure everything was perfect. A restaurant that truly delivers on both food and service.

I really liked Brother Marcus!
The staff were really lovely. We asked for Marcus's Choice, and the experience was great. Food kept coming, so we were both so full, and they kept asking if we wanted more or anything specific.
The food was all delicious, I'd especially recommend the aubergine because I've never had them cooked like that before.
I'd definitely recommend!

This place is great for dinner. The atmosphere is lovely. Soheil was very friendly and gave us recommendations. The food was really good, good portion, very delicious - I would recommend the rips & dips and the crispy aubergine skewer. Definitely will come back

Stumbled upon this incredible spot by chance and what an unforgettable experience!
The food was an absolute 10/10. Brunch and dessert were both outstanding some of the best I’ve had. If I’d had the time, I would’ve come back the very next day, even just for dessert.
The service was exceptional truly faultless. A huge thank you to Ivan, Anna, Ada, and Danielle for making it so special. I’ll definitely be returning!

Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service without being overbearing.

The menu  offers a wonderful mix of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, with something for everyone, whether you're a meat lover or a vegetarian.

The atmosphere is vibrant yet laid-back, making it perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a more intimate date night. Whether you're after a relaxing meal or a lively night out, this place truly has it all.

Overall, I can’t recommend Brother Marcus enough—wonderful food, excellent service, and a fantastic vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

Barbarella

Beautiful restaurant. First week of opening but you wouldn’t have known as everything was so slick. Food was some of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend

Such a great spot! The pizza crust was crispy and light, the pasta was packed with flavor, and everything tasted so fresh. The staff were friendly and made great recommendations. You can tell they really care about quality here. Five stars all the way!

A different Italian!
My husband booked this place for my birthday dinner. He kept it as a surprise. The restaurant is within few metres of Canary Wharf tube station.
Upon arrival we received a warm welcome. I received a birthday card signed by the squad of the restaurant. That was quite unique. I liked it!
The interior is impressive, nice decor and the lights - all give it a posh look.
For starter we ordered normal bread and garlic bread. With the first bite of each, I felt like it's completely different than any of them I have ever tasted. It was so good!
For the mains, my first choice was not available, hence I went with the sea bass option "Branzino in Guazzetto". I was sceptical with the thought of tomato sauce being too tangy. When it arrived and I took the first taste, I felt like I have never tasted a sauce like that before. It was tastebud-awakening! So delicious!
My husband had the pizza "Some Like It Hot", that was quite different tasting as well. It was slightly on hot side as it says.
They don't have a kids menu but we went with the recommended one "Spaghettoni al Ragù di Agnellowhich". It was perfect for the little one.
For the dessert we went for Creme Brulee, that came with a candle on top 😊
The service was superb throughout.
Altogether it was an amazing dining experience and a perfect birthday meal! Thank you!

I had a wonderful experience at Barbarella restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the staff gave us a very warm welcome and made us feel comfortable. They also gave us good recommendations from the menu, which helped us choose the best dishes.

The food was more than excellent, fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. The portion sizes were just right and generous. Every dish was prepared with care and beautifully presented.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and friendly, perfect for enjoying a nice meal. I will definitely come back again and recommend this place to anyone who loves real Italian food.

Another amazing big mama restaurant! Honestly the best one out of them all in London! Great service by the Dr. , who gave phenomenal and attentive service! Food hit the Italian craving and the ambience is perfect. Went for lunch but will definitely come back for dinner.

Yebaba Levantine Kitchen

Fantastic food and service and such great prices! The food was 10/10 and the people there are so nice and welcoming! We have been here twice now and have never been disappointed, we will definitely be regulars 🤩

It's very hard to give anything but 5 stars for this place as the staff here are so likeable but to be honest, the food could have been better. In their defence, we were the first customers of the day and it tasted like we were eating food prepared the previous day. The meats were not as succulent as I have tasted and seemed a bit dried out. The rice and bulgar were nice. The staff were really friendly and really spoiled us, service was top notch.

Michelin-star level customer service and beyond.
The food was absolutely incredible, and the short wait time made the experience even better. The staff went above and beyond — from helping us choose our dishes to ensuring we felt looked after every moment we were there. From the moment we stepped in until the second we left, the service was flawless. This is hands down the best customer service I’ve ever received, and the food matched that excellence. Thank you so much!

A perfect place for very nice takeaway. I would like to thank the chefs, Ahmed, Pino and the other chefs name that I cannot remember sadly. The place was very clean and well managed. I appreciate the takeaway packaging, the boxes are very durable and they can be reused so they're very eco friendly. The bag they came in is also very nice as it's made out of fabric and has their logo on it. I would like to say that it is the best Turkish food we have ever tried, starting from the „appetizer" which was superlative then going over to the main course which was a plate very rich in meats and with extremely good rice, finishing with the very sweet and delightful dessert. I would definitely recommend and I will be going back very soon!

Saw the google reviews and photos so decided to visit for my takeaway so I could see what was on offer. Chatted to Servet and his team. The selections are great. Good advice on the boxes and what to pair up. I had chicken doner, lamb shish, olives and humus. The bread was so fresh and authentic. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our takeaway and will be back. Thanks to the team for an excellent first experience, Claire x

Authentic Indian cuisine that's as vibrant as the streets of Delhi - bold, beautiful, and delicious. Located in the heart of London, this is where London's food scene comes alive.

FAT CHEF (Authentic Indian Kitchen) Halal

My husband went to collect food today from this Indian takeaway. We ordered a king prawn jalfrazi and chicken vindaloo, and it was absolutely delicious! The food was full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Definitely ordering from Fat Chef again!

Was really yummy. One of the best Indian food’s I’ve had in London, at a really affordable price with big portions and fantastic value for price. Will definitely come again! Delivery was also very quick!

Ordered a few dishes from Fat Chef and Alhamdulillah the food was 10/10 Allahuma Barik and also the customer service was 10/10 would highly recommend

Starballers Academy approached the Fat Chef team to cater for us on two separate occasions. They provided us fantastic services in all aspects even though we requested the orders with short notice. The orders were for 45 people and food was great on both occasions. Their customer service, professionalism and communication was excellent. They exceeded the expectations and executed their services to a high quality. We would recommend Fat Chef to all those requiring catering that is inclusive of tasty food and exceptional customer service.

I recently ordered from Fat Chef and it was a delightful experience. The flavors were authentic, bold, and vibrant, capturing the essence of traditional Indian/bangladeshi cuisine.

If you're craving delicious, authentic Indian food, I highly recommend this place. The dishes were flavorful, portions were generous, and everything was cooked with care. Perfect for a cozy night in or a quick meal on the go. Will definitely be ordering again!

We came for dinner but considering the small portion sizes, it didn’t quite justify the price. We each had the octopus and jambon beurre gildas (nice bites) then between the two of us, we shared the cauliflower tartlets (fine), pink fir potatoes (like patatas bravas which were tasty), cured monkfish (the flavour didn't work for me), cecina with ricotta (ok), black pudding with hen of the woods (good), bitter chocolate with olive oil and salt (didn’t wow) and the smoked maple bikini (surprisingly delicious). The peach gimlet and wines were also good. The service was friendly and helpful but occasionally inattentive as we had to flag staff several times.

Great place to come for lunch and drinks. Brilliant cocktails, food was lovely and service really attentive. Will come back for sure

Phenomenal flavours and excellent service, everything looks amazing too - i was roo busy drooling to think about pictures! Just 2 mins walk from Bethnal Green station. Definitely try the black rice sake and the octo-dog!

Style over substance. The food was experimental and some dishes were interesting, but not delicious. None of the food went together, so was a strange experience. The staff were nice but incredibly inattentive. The cocktail was watery. Really poor value for money, spent a lot and went home hungry. It is a really nice vibe for wine though.

Amazing cocktails and Food. Oliver was fantastic and served me some exciting new cocktails, I loved them all. The food was delicious, the staff are very attentive. Great Bar well done.

Princelyn (Nigerian Restaurant & Groceries)

I had a great meal here while staying in the area for work. I didn’t know Nigerian food but  the owner explained the menu to me really well and his recommendations (moi moi and jollof rice with fish) were delicious. Nigerian Guinness was great too! Very relaxed and friendly place, highly recommended.

The staff was lovely. He gave us a choice of music to listen to during dinner and served us the most delicious jollof rice even though it was quite late in the day.
I would come back!

Warm welcome from the moment we walked in & the service was attentive and kind all night. The food? Absolutely delicious. I had the okra with pounded yam (so good I had to take some home in a doggie bag!) and my friend had the egusi with pounded yam, plus plantain and moi moi. Everything was fresh, flavourful and felt like home cooking. Fantastic portions, excellent quality for the price, and the musical soundtrack in the background gave it the perfect West African vibe. I’ll be back, and I’m encouraging everyone who reads this to go. Absolutely delicious!

I had an amazing experience here! The owner was extremely welcoming, kind and helped guide my sister and I on the best food to order. The food was prepared fresh to order and was delicious!!

It's definitely delicious, but I'm not a great judge of African food so I can't tell if it's authentic 🤣

Extra points that the staff is incredibly friendly, and a couple of fun African beers (or "spirit mixed drink") available.

BRIQ

Jackson served us today (such a good guy!) and the food was pretty amazing - great portion sizes and top quality.

We had a great time and the atmosphere was really welcoming, with loads of space. Highly recommend the visit! Don’t forget to ask for strawberries and bacon with the hen’s royale.

Lovely place for breakfast or brunch. Wide selection,comfy ambiente and a very courteous service. Special thanks to Jackson who made us a pleasant start of the day. We loved our scrambled eggs and our shakshuka❤️

Such a lovely brunch we had! Great menu, delicious food, nice portions and lovely staff! Great addition!

Great place with superb breakfast. We had Full Breakfast end Eggs Benedict - all delicious. Our order was taken promptly and delivered fast. The atmosphere is super nice and cozy, and the service is perfect. Special thanks to Jackson:))

We just had a delicious veggie breakfast here and really enjoyed the experience. Great location, lovely atmosphere and brilliant service from our waiter, Jackson. Would definitely recommend and look forward to our next visit.

Contemporary cuisine that's as Instagram-worthy as it is palate-pleasing. Located in the trendy surroundings of Hackney, this is where London's food scene comes alive.

Rogues.

Went for an early dinner on a Wednesday evening just before the place got busy. Delicious tasting menu and reasonably priced for the quality of dishes served. The whipped ricotta dish with radicchio, roasted beets, and maraschino cherries was delicious. The sourdough with pâté and fresh oysters with pickled radish were also personal favorites. Last but not least, the staff were friendly and accommodating in seating us earlier than our booked reservation. Thank you to the team at Rogues. for a wonderful dinner ☺️

Phenomenal!!! Service was brilliant along with the wine options(hard to choose) and food melted in your mouth which exceptional flavours. We did the tasting menu for £69 each which I highly recommend. Great serving size as often you are either too full or leave hungry but this place understands the brief. It was my partners birthday and they did a candle and little card for him which is the sweetest touch! Appreciate the filtered  unlimited water for £1 with the bottle of water  being left on your table as often I am always asking for water at restaurants as they don’t want to leave it with you or charge you over price fee. Have wanted to try this places for a long time and it lived up to expectations. Travels an hour to get here as I live south and well and truely worth it 💕💕

A delightful restaurant, with a fun, inventive menu and helpful service. As a three on a week night we all had the set menu, with one vegan and one pescetarion option. The staff were helpful, accommodating and  looked after us well.

The food was excellent. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the dishes and they were well executed. The menu was extensive and we left very full.

Went for dinner and got the set menu. Amazing food, attentive service and overall very pleasant atmosphere. The menu changes constantly according to what’s in season, which makes this a great place to come back to for seconds!

One of the best restaurants in London, deserves a star and will get it soon so go here before you can’t get a reservation. Extremely accommodating with allergies. Fantastic cocktails and wine. The level of service was 10/10 outstanding. We shall return. Shout outs to Caitlin for her kind warm welcome and the extremely attentive English waitress (sorry we didn’t get your name)

Bibimbop Bow

I’ve ordered from Bibimbop twice now, and both times the food has been excellent. The kimchi fries and wings combo was packed with flavour — the wings stayed crispy even after delivery, which was a nice surprise. The corn dogs were also delicious and the cheese inside was still stringy.

I’ve had bao buns from a lot of different places, and Bibimbop’s definitely ranks in my top three — soft, full of flavour, and pretty to look at.

Bonus review from my mum: she really enjoyed the unique fusion twist in the dishes. We’ll definitely be ordering again!

my second visit to bibimbop and had an amazing experience yet again. the food is packed with bold, rich flavours and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. the beef brisket bibimbap was a comforting classic, perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness. the kimchi fried rice had just the right balance of spice and umami. the vegetable kimbap was fresh and light, and paired with the soy chilli dip it was quite different to the usual sauces i’ve tried. highly recommend if you’re looking for tasty halal korean fusion!

Ordered two Korean loaded boxes with a brisket bao bun, buldak mayo wings, kimchi chilli fries and an a cheese and sausage corn dog, as well as a drink.

Total came to £29.98 - reasonably priced 💰

-

Everything worked perfectly together and was full of flavour. I will definitely be a repeat customer 😋

One suggestion for improvement would be to have the cheese in the corn dog slightly more melted for a better cheese pull, everything else was spot on 👏🏽

If you’re in or around Bow, this isn’t a place you should miss out on! 🍲

The food here was 10/10 and beautifully presented. The spice level for me was spot on and not overpowering and it was a very generous portion. Loved the bao buns, they were soft and packed full of flavours with each bite. Would definitely recommend

I had a fantastic experience at this place!
Specially The Chicken bibimbop,Bao buns,Cheese Corn Dog , was delicious, Juicy, fresh, and full of flavor.
and also the price is preety decent
I’ll definitely be returning—and recommending this spot to friends and family!

Simply Smashed - Quality Smash Burgers

We stopped here for an early dinner on one of the days of our visit to London from Melbourne, and I can say it was definitely worthwhile. Muaz was so helpful, making sure we got the best of what was on offer based off our personal preferences, it made for a great experience and all his suggestions were 11/10. Would definitely visit again!

Absolutely amazing Food! Friendly family atmosphere. Great selection on menu and drinks!  Enjoyed our food thoroughly . Great service from Rahman , Very Polite and well spoken! Thank you for a wonderful Meal this afternoon. Keep it up!

Tried out the Angus beef 🍔 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
-Overpriced and tasted like a normal burger. There were only two and a half pickles in the burger topped with lettuce and some sickeningly sweet sauce.

Price 💵 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Not VFM. £7.00 for a mid burger.

Drinks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -
- Disappointed that they were selling Aldi and Lidl drinks for £1.50 which is absurd even though they cost £2.00 for a six pack

Toilet facilities 🚻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Decent, provided with hand wash and adequate water pressure. Clean as well.

Customer service 💁‍♂️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Friendly and helpful staff. Very attentive and manager was helpful.

Overall, I wouldn’t return. Food is mid nothing special. Wings were ok. Been here once in 2023 and food is still the same. Overpriced and under delivered. Unfortunate because the staff are attentive and caring.

Came to this place as my husband recommended it. We were not disappointed, I ordered the wagyu burger and it was very tasty. We were served by a gentleman called Shuvo, he was very polite and attentive. The service was really good and I'll definitely be back.

The meal was good - definitely filled me up. I got a double wagyu bacon burger - it was nice but I wish the patty was smashed more as it wasn’t as crispy as I’d prefer my smash burgers to be. The Sahara sauce is nice - not as spicy as I expected but tasty nonetheless. The seasoned fries were yummy - maybe a bit too salty though.

Masoom was friendly and polite.

Shezan GCD

Been ordering from here quite often, love the variety of food they have especially the bun kebabs and peri chicken and rice overall amazing service and it's kid friendly too. Can't wait to try their other options

Authentic, homecooked Pakistani food. Really delicious.
I ordered 2 dishes. I'm confident that they are all good. Will order again for sure.

We ordered briyani and it was very nice and totally different to all other briyani places worth trying it price and the food is good

Peri peri chicken was delectable, flavoursome and mouthwatering.
Alhumdulilah will be able to have delicious grill chicken 🐔 in Chelmsford which no one has done yet.

Just ordered from Shezan GCD and it did not disappoint. Food was amazing & full of flavour, would definitely recommend

Arches Cafe

A proper British caff! Tucked away, as the name would suggest, in the Arches of the overground bridge just a short walk from Bethnal Green station. The food was excellent and easy to order as you’d hope. The service was warm and friendly, I believe it’s a family business, which is always great to see too. I enjoyed the old school 4 seater tables and the brickwork interior is a nice touch, but the thing that really makes the places charm is the quiet rumble of the trains passing overhead! I will definitely be back, and bringing friends.

Kind service in a place with great atmosphere under the railtracks. Food was really good, but not outstanding. Chips could be a bit crunchier, green peas could be more moised or steamed. But those are details, after all we were really satisfied with a great breakfast experience. 5*

Arches Cafe – A Hidden Gem Beneath the Tracks We stopped by Arches Cafe in Bethnal Green and were genuinely surprised — in the best way. Tucked under the railway arches, this family-run spot serves up classic British comfort food with heart and hospitality.

The full English breakfast was generous and well-balanced: crispy bacon, golden eggs, and mushrooms that actually tasted fresh. The tea came in a proper mug, and the toast was just right — no frills, no fuss, just good honest food.

The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff who clearly care about the place. It’s the kind of café where locals linger and newcomers feel instantly at ease.

Arches Cafe may look modest, but it delivers warmth, flavour, and a slice of East London charm. A lovely surprise — and one we’d happily repeat.

The business is spotless and beautifully maintained, with a warm, cozy atmosphere that makes you feel welcome right away. The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and clearly made with care. On top of that, the service was outstanding: genuinely kind, attentive, and full of enthusiasm. Altogether, it was a wonderful experience that I’d be happy to return to again and again.

Always a very welcoming experience. Lovely staff and lovely food! The cafe is spotless and the toilets immaculate! I have been eating in this cafe years and they always pleased to see me! I recommend this place 1000% you won’t be disappointed ❤️

E3 Vegan

Absolutely amazing food, and lots of it, we were completely stuffed! The staff were very nice and welcoming, and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. Great value for money, we will definitely be back.

This family owned restaurant is a gorgeous and peaceful vegan spot.
The food was out of this world, local vegetables cooked to perfection.
The chef and waiter were super friendly without ever being intrusive. We really enjoyed chatting to them. The chef even gave out to give us some cooking tips!
I’d highly recommend a visit to taste their seasonal dinner. Hopefully we will be back again, soon.
Thanks so much!:)
