Big Moe's Diner

I visited the restaurant recently.
Pros:
The premises is very well kept and has an excellent interior design ideal for family/kids.

My toddler was fascinated with the cheverlot styled dinning area.

The waitress was polite and prompt with the service.

The burger was delicious and well prepared.

Cons:
Service charge is automatically added to the bill at 12.5%. Though, this is not stated anywhere on the menu. Customers may feel embarrassed to ask for this to be removed, putting them in a precarious position and deterring them from coming again.

There is a limited selection of sauces of ketchup, mayo and chilli. The chilli sauce is not American standard and more sour than chilli.
Overall pleasent experience, thank you.

I got the platter that had short ribs that were pretty juicy. Would have been nice to remove membrane before so not too chewy. The chicken was nicely seasoned and brisket soft/succulent. The price is quite high, but it reflects the standards.

Excellent food. Lamb ribs and the fully loaded burger were awesome. The peanut butter chocolate shake is a must have!
Special shout out to Shuvu.... for the brilliant service and patiently dealing with the mess our baby made.

Food was delicious atmsophere and music fits the 50s theme we had bbq wings and 2 sides for 22 pound the wings were delcious. Service was good and we didn't wait long to get our food

Nalia was amazingly friendly and cheerful throughout out our visit. Very patient as we got too distracted by the amazing decor to decide on what to actually order. Atmosphere was 5* and I wish there was something like this closer to where I live

All our food is 100% halal, all our meat and poultry is un-stunned.

NYC and Brooklyn inspired food including on-the-bone meat

Dirty Bones Carnaby

After reading reviews online was really looking forward to visiting here.  The restaurant itself is nicely laid out, we sat outside in the courtyard, very nice vibe.

We were after a fairly quick lunch as off to the theatre.  We both ordered burgers and skinny fries.  The Mac Daddy burger i had was ok, the mac and cheese was bland to say the least.  Burger itself was ok.  Fries, well they were fries.

£76 for 2 burgers and fries and a couple of drinks, had we wondering why I had popped in here

Personally wouldn't return, don't think I would recommend.  In a crowd market think there are better options and better value for money.

Nicole was amazing and she served us a treat. A delightful experience with lots of tasty food. We ordered a portion of Flat Iron Steak (beautifully cooked), Duck & Waffles (very tasty), and some Buffalo Fries (slightly over-seasoned) and some tasty mocktails Lyte & Sweet and More Life. Looking forward to try the other dishes.

Most of the food was really tasty. We had crispy chicken tacos, cheeseburger gyozas, shorty tots and the Mac Daddy burger. If you like a splash of spice, its a good place to go. The Mac Daddy burger was the only let down, the mac cheese was really bland, and there wasn't any flavour to the burger - unlike the rest of the food we had.

The waiting staff were really friendly, we were a walk up and the restaurant was pretty busy but we were seated, and served quickly. Everything was a reasonable price. We would return again.

We were quite disappointed at the experience at Dirty Bones Carnaby.

Made a reservation online, only to be told on arrival to sit ourselves. Surprised to have a 12.5% service charge added to our bill despite lack thereof.

While the chicken and waffle was good, the duck in the duck and waffle was overcooked and rubbery.

That said, the presentation and atmosphere were nice.

We were very happy with our dinner here. Very delicious food, good atmosphere and our waiter Bashir was excellent, friendly and made good recommendations. Highly recommend this place!

Halal items are marked on the menu. Please ask staff for clarification if you are unsure. Alcohol is served.

🔴 @dirtyboneslondon 🔴 Located In Shoreditch, Soho, Carnaby and Oxford
.
Newly discovered halal spot. Famous for their filthy and dirty burgers. It’s also great to see many well known British brands going halal. Like honest burgers, patty and bun and many more. Hope to see loads more to follow. This place now serves fully halal menu serving steak burgers, fried chicken and even chicken and waffles
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 The Mac Daddy (£13.50)
🔳 The Classic (£10.50)
🔳 Spicy Chicken Burger (£10.50)
🔳 Mac & Cheese (£8)
🔳 Cheeseburger Dumplings (£9)
🔳 Crispy Lamb Fries (£9.50)
.
The mac daddy comes with double dry aged steak patty, beef short rib and Mac and cheese. The ribs and Mac and cheese combo was perfect. I’ll be honest I personally wasn’t blown away with these patties. They looked like patties you would find in them Turkish kebabs quarter pounder burgers. Obviously the quality on the meat was probably way better. But I prefer a normal minced beef burgers.
.
The chicken burger was thigh piece. Was juicy and batter was crispy. However the coleslaw had a strong vinegar taste to it. Which kinda put me off. I think it was my fault as this was the gochujang spicy burger and I removed the gochujang sauce. I’m guessing the vinegar coleslaw was to balance the Spicy sauce
.
Mac and cheese balls was banging. Love the herbs and spices. The cheeseburger dumplings were a decent side kick. The lamb fries was tasty. Good chips. Good lamb. However needed more lamb pieces and also again had this strong vinegar taste to it
.
All in all I personally didn’t enjoy it but my friends enjoyed this. So I guess each to their own. However it’s great to see new halal addition in the scene. I’m sure many will enjoy it
.
- Fully Halal menu 
- Alcohol served in premises

@halalhunt's review of Dirty Bones Soho on Instagram

Dirty Bones Soho

Myself and fiance stumbled across this place (we had been recommended the French restaurant around the corner). The cocktails are amazing and the food is fantastic. The lamb fries are so filling they could be a main not a side. The mac & cheese burger is so juicy. While we couldn't manage a dessert we would definitely go back.

Had a Bottomless Brunch at
Denman Street last weekend.

Firstly let me say the KEN our waiter was excellent.  Such a great example of how to  host a table properly.  He was attentive, knowledgable and made the whole lunch a very enjoyable experience - hence the star rating.

The options for food for the brunch were excellent either from a set menu or from some of the main menu.   The drinks were flowing as you’d hope at a Bottomless Brunch and we weren’t rushed during our allotted time.

Overall a very nice experience with quality meat and sides.

The majority of the food was good but, the portion sizes and the prices were not the best to say the least. The chicken tacos were good but the beef ones were below average if not worse. The chips were well received. Left the restaurant still hungry after spending £120 for a group of 4. The service was great tho and our main server was very chill and friendly.

Excellent service and attention to detail by the service staff (an example being that we were celebrating and so at the end of the meal were given a complimentary shot, though the server/team, noticed that we were not drinking alcohol and made it non-alcoholic, which was pleasing).

The food itself was delicious and great portions. The lamb ribs were some of the best ribs we have ever had and we left feeling very full and satisfied.

Will definitely be recommending to friends and will certainly return.

Just had a fabulous bottomless brunch. Food was excellent and the staff were extremely attentive; we hadn’t finished our drinks before they were asking if wanted more. Tereza was amazing! Definitely had our money’s worth! £45 for an hour and a half bottomless brunch plus we had a dessert for £55 pp including service.

UberEats UK

Rarely do we revisit a place within a month, but this place was so good we decided go back and try more of the menu! 😋
.
This time we asked for The American and the Chicks on Fire burgers. Both were scrumptious but the beef pattys at BoB are definitely a touch tastier than the chicken burger as they are very high quality meat, making it juicy and the chefs cook it exactly how you want it! 👌🏽 We also tried their Nachos, which had fried tortilla bits- my favourite part! The hand cut chips were great too, but lacked a little salt. All in all, we weren’t disappointed with our second visit here! 😊Would definitely recommend for a quick, tasty bite if you’re in the local area, though parking is a bit of a myth.

Edit: they offer free parking for customers- ask the restaurant for a permit.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Band of Burgers Camden on Instagram

I tried the voodoo burger from @bandofburgersuk brick lane for lunch, delivered via uber eats. Was impressed with the packing and branding for the delivery. The burger was pretty nice and simple, I did find the meat patty a bit dry for my liking, I think it's cooked on a flame grill which does tend to dry out meat more than cooking on a hot grill plate. Also got some sweet potato fried as well which where epic. 
If you work or live near Brick Lane you can get a free burger with your first Uber eats order using the code "eats-uberhalal". Your welcome.

@halalfoodguy's review of Band of Burgers Camden on Instagram

Band of Burgers, Camden

All food we ordered was delicious, service was good. Shame they don't serve alcohol, but they did say you can bring your own.
Staff are friendly and polite.
The tortilla chips used for nachos were really good, different to the standard ones we get here. Coleslaw was tasty. Sweet potato fries were lovely a crispy. I had the Mexican chicken burger, was really good.
My friend had beef burger, which he said was good.
We did order too much food, but you can take leftovers home!

Good value lunch deal for a burger, fries & drink. The burger and fries were great. Ordered wings as well which were average. Good portions overall. Good service.

Came in here on a whim on a Sunday evening just before a gig. One of the best burgers I've EVER had. The meat was perfectly cooked, it was so juicy and fully of flavour! The portions of fries were very generous and the milkshakes were delicious - ice cold and with a healthy amount of whipped cream on top! Definitely will come back here when I'm in Camden and need a bite 👍

Had an evening munch after visiting London Zoo. The starters were fantastic: chips were incredibly crunchy and oiled to perfection, the loaded fries with keema was tasty and the chicken wings = awesomeness with superb flavour

The Wagyu burgers we ordered were super super bad. The taste was awful and we all independently agreed a rating of 2 or 3 out of 10. Don’t know what it was but there was an over powering and smelly sauce combined with the lack of taste from the actual meat that ruined it for us. It could have been honestly the worst burger I’ve ever ate. I would like the owners & chefs to really look and evaluate this.

The desserts were good, cheesecake and milkshake.

I am giving 5 star as the experience was brilliant the wonderful woman at the till was incredibly friendly and thoughtful, she let us access the upstairs room for prayers and one of the staff led us too. Amazing business and I’m sure your food is amazing but there something just went randomly wrong this occasion.

Visited 4th October 2024

Surprised at how quiet it was. 5 of us popped in for their lunch deal, it was dead. Waitress had 'popped to the shop' so a slight delay in ordering, but other than that it's a great value for money lunch, given it's location. £11.99 for a choice of burger, chips and a can.

Taco Bell

That looks delicious! The churro is perfectly golden-brown with a nice crisp texture, and the drizzle of icing along with the little white chocolate chips gives it a really indulgent, eye-catching finish. It looks like the kind of treat that’s both comforting and fun to eat—crispy, sweet, and just the right amount of gooey. 🍩✨

Absolutely dirty establishment.
Tables and the floor looked like they weren't cleaned for some time.

Food was, as you expected from Taco Bells, ok but good for a quick cheeky meal.

Had sharing meal  and for £15 it was good value,  4 burrito, 4 chips and 6 churros.5£3’ £3 odd for drink. The employees looked fed up, they weren’t rude, they were doing their job  but disinterested and wishing they were elsewhere.  The food was decent and filled us up. We were hungry. Basic dining area. Toilet was not clean.

I don’t know what happens in this place but the delivery always take hours, and I mean hours. They never send any sauce, is this a standard for Taco Bell? Are they bankrupt? No matter how much you order they never send any sauce. Honestly they need to be better, there is no option to send the restaurant a note. Why they don’t send any sauces??

I have never experienced such tacos in my life... the lettuce and cheese were just brought out from the freezer and were put on top of the meat.... i threw the food because it was so bad.... please somebody teach these guys how to make good tacos

We have halal food available at this branch.

Worst Taco Bell in the world !!! Never been to a Taco Bell and been refused extra fire sauce .... I only come for this sauce and you lot have now lost 20 pound for my meal as the manager gave me a refund rather than selling me extra sauce... Taco Bell Ceo needs to sort this out. 2 sauces per order not even Taco ordered 20 items and told only 2 fire allowed madness ....

Piryal was a very nice staff and had great customer service, so polite, food was nice and fresh delivered quick. Made my experience so much better

I order food online on uber but the worst experience i get here, nevere food is on time. I see driver is waiting always at this restaurant.

WE ARE ALSO YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!!!

Worst place I've ever ordered from. They included/embedded (AS PART OF THE INGREDIENTS
) a marker pen inside my Crunchwrap Supreme.

I called them up and they admitted that their one only marker pen was missing. So I asked them how it occurred and asked them to investigate it (even emailed Taco Bell corporate about it) and they refused to do anything.

READ THE OTHER REVIEWS because this food establishment is truly a joke.

Extremely disappointed.
It was £6 and was just a wrap filled with a few pieces of lays crisps and few pieces of chiken and was Extremely dry.also the staff was rude.

Dear Taco Bell Team,🌮💜

I just wanted to take a moment to express my genuine appreciation for everything you do. Every time I visit Taco Bell, I’m impressed by the consistency of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the fun, welcoming atmosphere you create. It’s more than just fast food — it’s comfort food with personality and heart.

From the perfectly seasoned tacos to the creative menu items that always keep things exciting, Taco Bell never disappoints. I really admire how you balance quality, flavor, and affordability so well. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a late-night snack, or just a craving for something delicious and satisfying, Taco Bell is always my go-to spot.

I also want to recognize the hardworking employees who keep everything running smoothly, even during busy hours. Your kindness and efficiency make a huge difference, and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

Thank you, Taco Bell, for your great food, great service, and your commitment to making people smile with every visit. Keep up the amazing work — you’ve definitely earned a loyal fan for life!

With appreciation and gratitude,
[SHAIK ZEESHAN]

it’s way past midnight, you’re starving, and Taco Bell’s the only place still open. You pull up, parking lot’s dead silent except for the flickering neon sign that keeps buzzing like it’s glitching. You walk in, and the whole place smells like stale tortillas and something... burnt. The cashier’s there, but his smile’s way too wide — like, unnaturally wide. You order your usual, but when you unwrap your taco, the meat’s moving. Not like worms — more like it’s breathing. You look up, and suddenly the whole place is filled with this whispering sound, like a hundred people chanting from the kitchen. You blink, and every “employee” is staring at you, all wearing those same plastic smiles, whispering, “You wanted the special?”

Then the lights cut out. You hear footsteps, crunching closer. The smell of burnt cheese and something metallic fills the air. When the lights flicker back on, your reflection in the soda machine screen isn’t yours anymore — it’s wearing a Taco Bell visor, grinning, and whispering, “Welcome to the late-night menu.”Your heart’s pounding now, but your body won’t move — like the air itself got heavier. You try to back away, but your shoes feel glued to the sticky tile floor. The whispers get louder, layering over each other until they sound like static — or maybe screams. From the kitchen door, something drags itself out — you can’t tell if it’s a person or… leftovers. Its skin looks like melted cheese, its eyes hollow, black like the oil from the fryer. It’s holding a tray, and on it sits another taco — except this one’s bleeding.

You finally break free and sprint for the door, but it doesn’t budge. You slam your fists against the glass, but outside, your car’s gone. Just an empty lot and that cursed, flickering sign — now reading “Open Forever.” Behind you, the “employees” start chanting again, voices warping into one deep, inhuman tone. The last thing you feel is a hand — cold, greasy, and heavy — landing on your shoulder, as a voice right behind your ear whispers, “Your order’s ready.”

Very bad experience being in taco bell wood green. Some indian manager was there, totally non experienced and got no customers service skills. I have no idea how taco bell just appointed such staff there. The manager can’t even communicate properly and zero management skills.
Suggestion is to recruit some experienced staff or train them in a good way.

Have a fantastic service. All employees are very Kind and helpful as well. I had a good experience on there. Super clean restaurant, everyone Should come there for this great experience.

“Taco Bell UK is decent for a quick Tex-Mex fix. Food is tasty enough and reasonably priced, though not always consistent. Service is usually fine but can be a bit slow when busy.”

NYEAT

We had such high hopes for this place! ☹️

Japes is a new Pizza Parlour that opened recently in Soho and is, apparently, the first place in London that does Deep Pan Pizza! 🍕 So naturally, we ordered a pizza (the Medditerannean) and the Parmagiana. The pizza was tasty, and that was mostly due to the fact that we love deep pan, cheesy pizza. We did expect more from the toppings though. The Parmagiana was literally just... cheese. All we could taste was cheese 🙂🧀. Not a great veg lasagne! The Garlic Bread was also VERY dry.. took us a while to munch through it while watering down our throats 😂

@halalfoodguy's review of Japes Soho on Instagram

Japes Soho

We were in the area and wanted some good and different food (different from the Indian food and traditional English food were were eating a lot of on our trip).  We had never had London style pizza before so we ordered the Pesto Manifesto and the Classic pizzas London style.  The crust was perfectly crunchy and a little more like pan style.  I loved my Classic pizza with the shavings of parmesan on top.. didn't feel too heavy and wasn't greasy.  I tried a bit of my husband's Pesto pizza and I will say that one felt a lot more greasy and heavy (probably because of the pesto).  We definitely should have only gotten one pizza and shared because there was so much food.  So highly recommend if you're coming here as a couple, to just share a pizza or have a couple pizzas for a group.  I thought they prices were maybe a little high for what you're getting but all in all, we had a great experience here.  Oh and if you're an American that loves a ranch and pizza moment, this ranch is thicker versus like a watery ranch.

I’m always pleased whenever I go to Japes. They have an amazing Chicago style pizza—as an American, I fully approve! This time I ordered the meatball Chicago pizza—I love the blend of flavours, excellent as always. In addition, they have great service, friendly staff. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I recently visited Japes in Soho, known for its Chicago-style deep dish pizzas, and it was a great experience. The restaurant has a casual, friendly vibe that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your food.
The deep dish pizza is the star here—thick, cheesy, and loaded with toppings, but still well balanced without being too heavy. The crust was buttery and crisp, which made a nice contrast to the rich filling. Portion sizes are generous, so it’s perfect for sharing.
Service was quick and welcoming, and despite being busy, the team kept things moving smoothly. Prices felt fair for the size and quality of the pizzas.
If you’re craving a proper deep dish in London, Japes is definitely worth a visit.

This was a nice place for a lowkey dinner! Menu was straightforward, and we got Veggie Delight and Wicked Chicken (Chicago Style) and the Margherita (London Style). I enjoyed the London style more, although the Chicago style was much more filling. Don’t be fooled by the portion sizes, these pizzas seem tiny but they were hard to finish off! (For three big eaters!)

I think they could all just use a little more flavour (per my preference), and the dips really help with that. We got the Truffle Mayo, Garlic Mayo and Buttermilk Ranch, all of which were pretty good. I wouldn’t recommend the Truffle Mayo as I’m not really fan and it overpowers any taste of the pizza. I really wish they’d add a complete spice-based dip to their menu (not spicy mayo!) as I think it can help make the pizzas much more flavourful.

Overall, I enjoyed it and I can see myself coming back again at some point! 😄

A great deep dish pizza restaurant on Dean Street in the heart of Soho, just down from the Soho Theatre. The pizza's were very good 🍕 Go for the London style if you don't want a lot of pizza crust. The pizza toppings were fresh and generous. If you can't manage to finish eating everything, you can get the leftovers boxed up to take home! Highly recommend.

On the menu in our restaurant we serve Halal chicken wings, chicken burgers, and chicken pizza.

French Toast Heaven at Christopher’s, as always! 🙌🏽 This time we decided to order the Warm Brioche French Toast, alongside our usual Chocolate French Toast 🍫 For anyone who finds the latter a bit too rich and difficult to finish (like me!) we highly recommend the Warm Brioche! It was delectable, especially when soggy with Maple Syrup and Mascarpone 🤤 the Roasted Peaches added a sweet but slightly sour touch 🍑 It wasn’t too filling and definitely wasn’t heavy either, so has now become my go-to at Christopher’s!

Christopher's

Christopher's in Covent Garden is fantastic for any occasion. I celebrated my birthday there, and the atmosphere was buzzing and classy.
The food was genuinely awesome. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the standout had to be the French toast with ice cream. It was the perfect, unforgettable birthday treat – rich, decadent, and utterly irresistible. Seriously, if you go, save room for it!

Overall, Christopher's provided a brilliant birthday experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and that amazing French toast! We'll definitely be back!

Went here for Sunday brunch. They have a different menu for Sunday brunch. The preparation is quite good and the potion size is decent. Enjoyed the fried chicken waffles. They gave us the centre table which is perfect for a group of 6. You have to order one mains per person

Christopher’s French toast is absolutely divine, seriously the best in London. I tried their Dubai style one too and it was a really cool twist that worked perfectly. Definitely a must try spot if you’re into amazing treats!

Ordered prawn taco, crab linguine, lamb and chocolate brioche french toast. All food was excellent and restaurant ambience lovely at nighttime. Though the signature french toast was underwhelming and didn't live up to expectations. I would improve the ice cream quality.

Absolutely stunning building 🤩 and lovely hostess who greeted us. Food was also delicious - though I would say for the cost we would’ve expected more fruit/toppings. We also asked for tap water and were given a £6 bottle, and £6.50 for an iced latte seems a bit steep, even for London! 😅

On our À La Carte menu we have the Wagyu Burger and the Australian Wagyu Rump Steak. On the Bar Menu we have the Lamb Wrap and Wagyu Burger. On the Brunch Menu, we have the Wagyu Burger and the Steak and Eggs. If you would like to preorder halal lamb we ask for 48 hours notice and we take card details to secure the booking. Please call or email to book. 

Local chain grilling burgers on charcoal and serving them with mocktails, fresh juices and shakes

We had visited the other Band of Burger branches before and didn’t particularly enjoy them, but this branch is completely different!

I know it’s a pretty big statement, but this place might just be our favourite burger joint! Honeslty, the burgers are on another level. Naimul ordered the Wagyu This Way, which consisted of moreish wagyu beef topped with gorgonzola dolce and truffle honey bacon 🤤 I asked for The Mexican- but this wasn’t your average mexican! It included chilli raclette cheese and a spicy tomato relish, and the guacamole was so good 😍 Naimul has had mexican style burgers before and hasn’t enjoyed them so he was reluctant to try it, but he didn’t regret it at all! The Onion Rings and Chilli Con Carne chips were mouth-watering, and it was so refreshing to eat dirty fries that weren’t just smothered in cheese.

⁣
Over the weekend I went to check out @bandofburgersuk with their new location in Walthamstow, which was the former home to Brioche Burger one of the ex-elites in the game. Fair to say that Band of Burgers have picked up the Baton and are keeping the bar high.⁣
⁣
I checked out the new lanuch menu, featuring a selection of starters and burgers. First of all, a note has to be made with the quality of ingredients on offer. Beef used in burgers Is 35 days aged grass fed Angus and Aged Wagyu as well. Only Organic produce are used, no processed cheese here, they use fancy cheeses from Brough market working with Jumi cheese. ⁣
⁣
Unlike the other locations of band of burgers, this restaurant uses a flat grill to cook their burgers and if you have read my best London in burger blog post, you know that's the only type of burger I'm interested in. It makes for a juicier, fatter and tastier experience. ⁣
⁣
I had pretty much tried all of the burgers on offer, my favourite were the big cheese and the Mexican. Great flavours, that melted fat taste that I love, soft sweet bun, a all round good burger. ⁣
⁣
The menu is still in it's soft launch phase, however if you want to hit it before everyone else then here's an offer for halalfoodguy readers ⁣ ⁣
Get a massive 20% off your bill. You must follow @halalfoodguy and @bandofburgersuk and present this post when ordering valid until 31st October 2019.⁣
⁣
I have to say, even without a discount the prices for great for the quality. These are premium burgers at good prices. ⁣
⁣
Oh the mocktails and milkshakes (I liked the strawberry) are really good. Even the wings were on point. ⁣
⁣
If this is the launch menu, then I'm excited to see what the full Menu looks like because the burgers are 🔥. ⁣
⁣
Fully halal. No alcohol served. Free 2 Hour parking permits are available. No service charge and cards are excepted. Win. ⁣My meal was complimentary.

@halalfoodguy's review of Band of Burgers Walthamstow on Instagram

This place NEVER disappoints. Food is always fresh and satisfying. I feel it’s a testament to the people making it. Whenever my friends and I think “hmm where should we go today for dinner?”, often we end up at BOB 🥰

What an amazing place for proper Burger at such a reasonable price. Been there several times and they never disappoint. Fresh and quality food. If you’re after a Good Burger, this is your place to be! P.s I am not a food blogger.

Totally disgusted with the food Quality this weekend.
BOB did not meet their usual standard. I know we are going through some cost of living crisis but should this really impact on takeaways and fast food outlets? 2 out of 4 of our burgers where abysmal. Chick's on fire & Brown butter smash burger. . Chicken one wasn't ever edable  n the smash burger looked like a kids burger. Never going to order again. Disappointed.

I think these might be the best burgers I’ve had when eating out.

I got the Wagyu this way and Chicks on fire. The meat was incredibly succulent and tender, so it was practically melting as I would chew it. The chicken was crispy with the coating and super juicy.
The sauces which complimented each burger were perfect, including the seeded buns.

The seatings and space are nice, because the layout allows room to walk to and where you need to go without making you feel like you’re climbing on others.

If you’re around Walthamstow or simply fancy supreme burgers, come to Band of Burgers. 10/10.

We went to have Band of Burgers, walthamstow branch on 3rd day of Eid. The service was really good, the staff was kind, accommodating and friendly. We ordered bbq wings, fries, 2 burgers.. one was chick on fire and other was the elvis.. The food came out fresh and on time. But the problem was the taste. Both the burgers were quite average.. there was no flavour eventhough they looked so tempting.. maybe the salt was lacking but something was missing..and the wings were really tiny. I was sooo looking forward to trying band of burgers because heard so much about it.. drove all the way from Luton to have it. Sorry but we've had better burgers.. and this, we ordered after being recommended by the staff to be the best and most selling chicken n beef burgers from the menu.. as for the atmosphere, they need to make it a bit bright.. i get that the interior is supposed to have a rusty graffiti vibe but still it needs to be updated because when you sit and observe around.. you see the fine details. Probably won't be trying again.

it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with flavor. The menu was very interesting, featuring a creative variety of options that made it hard to choose just one. In fact, as I browsed through it, I found myself wanting to try everything! I can't wait to go back and explore more of their delightful offerings. Highly recommend!

@ogosht is when you mix Middle Eastern flavours and American and I absolutely loved it.

Based in Acton, West London they have a fully halal menu on proper comfort food which left me craving for more since.

For starters we tried the sujuk with humous. The sujuk was slightly on the tough side though wasn't lacking in flavour and had the spice. Lamb humous was on point though and I'd say slightly better.

Mains:

Big O Burger: A surprisingly good smash burger. If you have high standards this won't disappoint. I was pretty impressed with this.

Maca Cheeze with Burger Patty: An absolute banger! As a base they have their mac and cheese but when topped with the same double smash patty from the burger, this was wonderful. What made it even better was the Harissa on top. This was wholesome and absolutely delicious. It wouldn't be so if the mac n Cheese was average with a standard patty. What was beautiful was the texture of the creamy mac n Cheese with the smashed patty.

Sloppy Steak: Sliced Ribeye on top of fries. Normally this could be a little dry but their cheese sauce isn't a joke. Once the Ribeye finished I found myself just enjoying the fries with the cheese sauce alone. Nevertheless the steak was pretty good quality - I'd like it a little closer to medium rare though but again another great dish.

Wings: These did let me down in all honesty. While the Harrisa and bbq flavours were okay the wings themselves weren't battered plus found them to be a little dry inside so I didn't enjoy this as much as the others. I'd pass on the wings and get those starters to share.

They also do a proper Pina Colada - and get this, only £4.95! Rarely do I see this drink properly done but here I was left wanting another one!

I'd say the smash burger and Maca cheese with burger patty are a must try. Delicious and very hearty!

Taste: 8.9, Quality: 8.5, Value: 9

Great service, reasonably priced and delicious food. Only negatives were the smash burger patty was on the dry side and the burger itself was not something I would probably order again. However, the wings, cubed potatoes, steak and Mac & cheese were really good.

A truly pleasant experience. The staff are very polite and welcoming, the manager was very friendly and patient with me considering I changed my order a few times. I ordered the Lil O burger with the loaded Maca. The burger was great and the loaded Maca was spectacular. Even though the restaurant was busy i got my food on time and well packed.

The best spot for cocktails and comfort food.
The loaded maca is definitely a must try (see if you can finish it), burgers are super good, and you can't beat the chili cheese bites!
Staff is super nice, and there's always a great atmosphere no matter the day of the week. Highly highly recommend!

All of our meat is from a halal local butcher.

Slider burgers from @meatandshake in tooting. Loads of different beef burger options on the menu. I opted for the 3 Slider burgers. I did find the cheeses very overpowering in one of the burgers, possibly the stanton. Also,  the price is £9.80 that's really expensive considered you don't get any sides and it's tooting, not central London. But the meat in the burgers where great, good flavours. I'd definitely come back again to try the plan Jane classic beef burger.

@halalfoodguy's review of Meat and Shake Tooting on Instagram

Meat & Shake [British Brand]

Visited here on Sunday afternoon, it was relatively quiet with a few other families already seated. We came in and were immediately shown to our table, we had not booked in advance. There were 6 of us and we were given a booth which was comfortable enough for all of us to sit. Menus were already on the table and after a short while we had decided on what we wanted and ordered our meals. Turn around time was actually quicker than I was expecting. They first served the starters we had ordered and then within a few minutes everyone had their meals on the table. Food presentation was excellent, everything looked fresh and smelt delicious.

Without question, the food was delicious. Tasty and flavorful meat, good portion sizes and delivered to the table on wooden boards which added to the authenticity of the place. We ordered two meals from the kids menu, two from the lunch menu and two burgers. Additionally we ordered a sharing starter and a side of battered onion rings. We also ordered churros for dessert.

Total cost for 6 of us to eat to our fill and possibly more was about £64. Just over £10 per head.

There are a couple of reasons I have dropped a star. Firstly, there is a problem with the front door, it doesn't shut properly unless you really push it closed. Because of this, there is always a draft of cold air running through. The staff were always trying to close the door but as delivery drivers and customers came and went, the door would inevitably be left ajar.
Finally, I dropped a star because the churros did not taste as good as they should have. They were quite hard, even on the inside which was a bit of a disappointment after such great food. But we will chalk this to a one off.

Other than that, cannot fault the place. Good staff, good food, good service. Well done!

A lovely little restaurant. The service and staff were great and we were made to feel very welcome, this really makes an impact on dining experience.

Food was lovely, so much choice,
and it arrived quickly after ordering. Loved the sweet potato fries and how they were seasoned. Burgers were nice and the shake was fab!

Not a huge place, so nice cosy feel. Loved the sauces on the tables. It’s great that everything on the menu is halal. I would come again.

We had visited this restaurant before and found it mediocre at the time, so decided to give it another go.
Never again, the food was absolutely atrocious. I don’t eat red meat so the only alternative was a chicken dish. I decided not to invest in a burger as I was sure about the flours or quality. I decided on a relatively easy option which I mistakenly thought would be done with some expertise. I settled on a Louisiana Chilli chicken which was supposed to have a special spice rub before barbecuing. When it came this was not barbecued, rather it had been broiled in a bottle sauce with soggy rubbery skin that tasted disgusting. I had also ordered a side of fries that never materialised.
My daughter and art net had the buy one get one half price burger which came with a side of fries and a drink. They chose milkshake for which they had to pay an extra £3 each and a mac n’ cheese side. The milkshakes were so thick you couldn’t suck them up the straw. My daughter sent hers back so that they could actually add some milk to allow the milkshake to be fluid, the texture was awful as the kinder bueno hadn’t been blended enough. She also didn’t enjoy her burger which had no flavor. The best thing about that meal was the fries which were excellent. We had to send the mac n’ cheese back because it was literally like cardboard with cheese grated on top. They did decide not to charge us for the mac n’ cheese, regardless this was a really bad experience.

The place looks nice and decorated to look like an American establishment. We had the wings as a starter, portions were huge! We got the six wings no knowing that wings here are the full sized ones, they were just cooked and I would prefer a strong spice on the wing. The rib was lovely and so was the dirty fries, the steak was decent, a bit on the dry side and was cooked more than I asked. The waitress was nice but the place is pricey more than it deserves

Looked nice from outside so thought I'd give it a try. It's a nicely themed burger place. Menu has lots of options. Opted for their award winning burger (2017) and messy chips with chicken wings for starters.
The food tasted really nice, the wings felt like the sauces had infused into the chicken which makes a change from most other places that have the flavour only at the surface. Messy chips were a nice side with plenty of flavours as toppings.
Burgers were nice... Not sure about the award winning but nothing wrong with them just didn't have me bedazzled. Maybe expectations of 'award winning' caused that. Will try other options from the menu next time.

Band of Burgers, Southgate

Generally quiet for dine in so not much atmosphere in the restaurant, however restaurant is clean and the service is quick. Good quality burgers I recommend the classic beef burger and the brown butter smash burger. Great real fries. Very reasonably priced burgers, good quality. BBQ wings were too sweet for my personal taste but still enjoyable. The take away portion of fries is generous, enough for 2 I'd say.

I've been a loyal takeaway customer of Band of Burgers, but decided to dine in this time, and I'm glad I did! The food was exceptional. The sweet potato chips were outstanding - perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully soft on the inside, just as they should be. The burger was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor. While the nachos were only okay, the sauces accompanying them were tasty. My only critique is that the portion of minced meat on the nachos was a bit lacking, which affected my overall enjoyment. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Band of Burgers for their amazing food!

Burgers were awesome, and the deep fried Mac and cheese bites were even better. Definitely check this place out.

the absolute best burgers in the UK. My husband and i are from Manchester but whenever we’re down south we always have to come here! Food quality and freshness is always consistent, unique flavours, and fast service. Have been coming here for 3 years now, definitely an underrated spot which deserves more hype!

What started off as scrolling through tiktok for restaurants recommendations has turned into Band Of Burgers being Number 1 on my list for Burgers! Probably THE most addictive burger joint Ive been too in my life, beating the likes of Five Guys, Shake Shack & Burger and Beyond.

Hands down THE best burger in North London. A must try is ‘The Elvis’ Medium Rare with Waffle Fries! The starters are all amazing, burgers are top tier and its consistently 10/10

Massive shoutout to the Band Of Burgers Southgate Team, service and atmosphere is always top tier!

Big Moe's Diner Wembley

So I was in Wembley to watch my beloved Oldham Athletic Vs Southend United in the National League play off Final, So after the match I headed to Big Moes Dinner 🍽  as I liked the look of it so I headed inside.

Warmly greeted by a waitress who sat me in a booth, To drink I wanted a beer 🍺 but they don't sell alcohol so I opted for a Strawberry lemonade with a double chicken burger and cheesy fries.

Restaurant was extremely quiet but it was a Sunday night, Food came fast, was well presented and tasted amazing, the bun was fresh and crispy, The burger 🍔, pickle and slight spicy mayo went together really well.

Restaurant was spotlessly clean, Polite and friendly staff, Decor interior and exterior were beautiful like a American 1950's diner with a Cadillac Car booth.

You can pay cash or card.

We were around the Wembley Outlet when we decided to stop for lunch and try something new. We came across Big Moe’s Diner and really appreciated how Clay served us and provided detailed information about a food item. Great service and a pleasant dining experience!

My daughter and I visited here as we were heading to a Guns and Roses concert at Wembley Stadium. I was greeted by friendly staff who sat us down at our table and was impressed with the decor and atmosphere. The thing that struck me initially as a nice touch was the Guns and Roses hits they had playing through the restaurant. It added to the atmosphere and build up to the concert so thank you for that.

Food was beyond expectations and everything was cooked to perfection in my opinion. One thing to bear in mind is you order at the till and pay upfront. A service charge is added there and then but I don't begrudge that as the service was excellent when getting the food out and taking empty plates away.

We had Cheesy Garlic Bread, Loaded Potatoe Skins, Cajun Onion Rings, I had the Fully Loaded Burger and my daughter had the Classic Buttermilk Chicken Burger. She also had a Chocolate Milkshake and I had the Classic Homemade Lemonade with a large bottle of water. This came to around £75 in total including service charge which I consider great value for such delicious food. We didn't have desert as we simply couldn't eat any more.

One thing also to remember is all food comes out together, not starters first followed by mains. I didn't mind this as we were hungry but may not appeal to all.

We came to London for a concert and were a bit sceptical due to the mixed reviews on here but we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was incredible, it felt like we were in 1950’s America. The food was fantastic, you can tell that the chefs put their heart into it. The service was fantastic too and everyone was incredibly friendly. Highly recommend this place for great food and an even greater atmosphere!

Stepping into this diner is like taking a time machine to the 50’s. Nostalgic retro vibe, plush leather booths, warm vintage lighting, classic Americana signs lining the wall. Staff are welcoming and friendly, almost as if they casted them instead of hired them. (Thanks Niyati for looking after our experience.) Any classic lover would enjoy dining here. Burgers both beef and chicken are delicious, nothing less, nothing more. Milkshake is a must. One of a kind vibe, could become a large hit if it was closer to the central.

The beef and chicken is Halal. Pork is served but we always prepare our Halal guests’ food separately. We provide dates and olives for anyone who wants to break their fast with us during Ramadan.

Vu Lounge

One of the best beef steaks I’ve ever had!

I had an unforgettable dining experience at Vu Lounge. From the moment you walk in, you’re impressed by the modern design and lush green entrance — it truly sets the tone for a premium experience.

I ordered the tomahawk steak, and it was absolutely phenomenal — perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The presentation was top-notch, and the rosemary touch added a lovely aroma. The side dishes, especially the fries and asparagus, complemented the steak beautifully.

The ambiance, lighting, and service were all excellent — elegant yet relaxed. If you’re a steak lover, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!

Food was brilliant. Service could have been faster, it was busy - understandable.
A member of my party was outside the restaurant helping a stranger as they had fallen, it would have been nice if the trained security handled that, our friend was stuck there for a good 30 minutes which delayed us further. I did ask for them to go and swap.

Had an incredible birthday night here. The shisha was smooth with great flavour, and the premium steak was cooked right in front of us—so juicy, tender, and full of flavour. The vibe was chilled but lively, and the staff were super friendly. They even surprised me with a birthday dessert! Highly recommend for a fun celebration.

The food was very good the steaks exactly as expected and size was good too, the meat tasted very nice. Overall a very nice looking restaurant. The music was good although a bit loud for us in the lounge so we moved to the restaurant bit and it was still quite loud - apart from the service was good, small improvements such as providing glasses with drinks straight away rather than us asking would've been good. The food no complaints very good.  Will come again and also recommend to others.

This is a great spot in the Bushey area. Good to have something a little Boujie, yet relaxed and comfortable. The food was REALLY good. The we got a bunch of things and shared. The ribs starter was immense! Sooo good. And the way it’s served just add to the experience. I ordered an old fashion to kick things off. It was decent, just not classic, it wasn’t as ‘clean’ and had some froth. Again, not bad, just not my preference. The food was reasonably priced as was the wine. We also got a shisha which was fun. The music in there is cool, but sometimes a bit loud when trying to chat. It’s great they have a DJ, but having a DJ and a drink will make some people (like us) want to get up and have a dance, but there is nowhere to do so. Can imagine on a Friday or Saturday it getting enquire lively. All in a great experience and would go back.
