Meet Bros

We came here because it was close to our hotel and the reviews were good. We did not expect it to be our favourite meal of our trip to London, but it was.

We ordered Filet Mignon, Lamb shank, then the chocolate fondant and the banana fritters for dessert.

The atmosphere was wonderful, one star was deducted due to a child being loud but this is not the fault of the establishment. It did soil the experience slightly.

Everything we ordered was absolutely astounding. The chocolate fondant however was earth-shatteringly good. I couldn’t believe it.

Thank you so much to the people at Meet Bros, and thank you to the universe for having us book a hotel round the corner from here.

I went for a bday dinner and it was pretty nice, the food was like a 7/10 like the chicken burger was a bit poor but the prawn pasta and lasagne were nice, and pretty large portions for fine dining too! The assamenta drink was nice, I’d get it again but aftertaste is a bit mediciney.
The spring rolls are worth the hype and very nice! But the chutney dip is quite sweet

The service was quite poor and took us about 30mins after being sat to be given menus and another 40 or so minutes for It to come out, the food was warm however so that was nice. The lighting and atmosphere is very nice and everything was very clean.

However if you’re a girlie I will say the bathrooms aren’t very big and nice for photos 😕but the rest of the restaurant is nice so 😆

Overall I did enjoy I would maybe come again at a different time since it was peak Christmas evening time

A hidden gem indeed with a lovely ambience. We were treated with extremely friendly and polite staff especially AMU who assisted with deciding on our choice of meal. We would personally like to thank her too as she also ensured my daughters' birthday experience would always be remembered. Oh yes they also supplied extra heating to keep us cosy. Will definitely return! The beef spring rolls and steak are a must have!

This was out first time here and it was a very enjoyable experience. Our hostess was Amu and she paid attention to all our needs, especially to our 3 children. One child did not like the Mac and Cheese so much, Amu kindly took our request immediately to the manager if we could change this and within 10 minutes, a replacement dish was out for the kids.

Our mocktails were lovely, especially the Assamenta (best Mocktail I genuinely have ever had).

The starters were brilliant (we had the duck and the prawn crostinis). The mains we were a bit divided, firdtly thr negative, I had the Curry Lobster Spaghetti. It sounded great, but for the cost, I was slightly let down. The broth was too much and took away the taste of the lobster. The lobster was also overcooked. The broth also had aubergines and some weird chewy tofu blocks that did not go with the dish. For the cost, I wont order this again or any seafood main...

The positive, the angus ribeye steak was cooked to perfection, flavoursome and the sides and sauce were excellent and what Meet Bros probably do best.

The chocolate fondant dessert was divine.

The decor underground and ambiemce was lovely and as I mentioned, the staff were welcoming and Amu especially was brilliant.

Will definitely return... just nit for the seafood main, I will stick to the meats!

I'm a little confused on how this restaurant has such a high rating. We were recommended this restaurant by a friend, and were so eager to try it we booked it immediately.

I'll start with the starters, we ordered prawns, beef spring rolls and nachos. The prawns were cooked beautifully, the fried bread that was put on top was unfortunately so full of oil it was bordering on disgusting. Beef spring rolls lacked flavour, even with the dipping sauce. Nachos were our favourite, good combination of meat to tortilla ratio and the taste was nice.

The drinks - when I pay £11 for a mocktail, I expect to get more than 3 sips. I understand the extortionate price for an alcoholic drink, not for some syrup and lemonade you put into a tiny glass. Extremely disappointing that I then had to order cola on top of the £22 I paid for 2 drinks.

The mains - the steak was basic, not worth the £45, especially when I can go to Cristina's in Barking and get a full sear on my steak. I really enjoyed the broccolini, but again... £8 for broccoli is a bit steep. We also got marrow, which for some reason was mixed with their house gravy when we didn't ask for that?

All in all, we left disappointed and £200 poorer from an experience that we won't want to see again. I like to be able to see my food when I'm eating, and not having to pay an arm and a leg for lemonade with a bit of syrup. The tables were also dangerously close together, so much so that I made friends lol

Maybe the Instagram kids and tiktok snappers will enjoy this place, but if you want a good meal and quality food - then look elsewhere.

Halal Asian cuisine. Formerly Bonda Kitchen

Bonda by Duck & Noodle

My girlfriend and I had the roasted duck noodles, siomay and bandung chia. The food was amazing, full of flavor and the duck was perfectly cooked! The waiter was also really friendly. Will definitely come here again

Halal Malaysian restaurant. Not sure about other dish but the duck here is very good. Order their duck rice. Duck is super juicy. You won’t regret it.  Ask for chili oil. Pro tip, request for breast rather than leg for more meaty juicier experience.
Plus point, toilet is clean with bidet. Prayer room as well.

I searched for a Halal Chinese restaurant, this was one of the restaurants suggested by google.
It’s not Chinese 🇨🇳 cuisine but Malaysian 🇲🇾 cuisine, very bland for my taste.
The place is very clean and welcoming.
The employees were very nice, they offered the drink on the house since I wasn’t a fan of the food.
I came in for a « hot & sour wonton soup », they don’t do it, so i thought why not mix 2 soups they do, hot and sour soup and chicken wonton soup.
The hot and sour is a mixture of a thick red soup, chicken slices, vegetables and 2 prawns. Soup was delicious just not sour nor hot.
The chicken wonton soup which was « wontons in boiled water and green onion (scallions) » not exaggerating, literally.
Service and atmosphere amazing.
Food not for me.
For £28, not a deal breaker

Will not return: decent duck but no alcohol.

We’ve
- Ma Po tofu 麻婆豆腐
- Duck noodle

Both are flavorful but slightly sweet, especially the tofu. The noodles are al dente.

This homey Malaysian restaurant is three minutes away from our hotel. After a long day of travel, the soup hits the spot.

The bonna brand porcelain hand-painted tableware from Turkey is quite attractive.

We came here after seeing the great reviews and were not disappointed. The waitress was so kind and welcoming and very helpful in making suggestions. We wanted dumplings and were very happy with the ones we got. They were very reasonably priced. They were delicious. I will definitely come back.

Roti King- Euston

@rotikinguk

Went to @rotikinguk again after I think almost 2/3 years maybe more I don’t even know anymore, but either way the queue was even worse than the first time, I waited about 1hr 15mins in total 🥲 but in a way it shows how good the food is if ppl are willing to wait for it, found a place nearby as a backup & someone in the queue told me not to bother as it’ll disappoint so I decided to wait 🥲

Anyway, the food.

Beef Rendang: 9/10

Cost £8 & for me it was the right portion, on a bad day I’d have needed 2 rounds of it but this time round the rendang was soooo much better than the first time I had it, also the duck dish has been removed 😪💔 but it had like a mild citrusy hint to it as well which was beautiful.

Sweet roti: 7.5/10

Second dish was this sweet roti with caramelised brown sugar & bananas, this was really good but I felt like it needed some sort of single cream or double cream even to make it even better but was still decent either way.

Overall:

Food: 8.8/10

@eafoodbae's review of Roti King King's Cross on Instagram

Roti King

Absolutely love roti king. Some of the best malay fare in London.

The pratha was nice and flaky. The chicken kari with the roti canai was a solid curry, spicy and flavorful.

The nasi goreng was the perfect combination of sweet savory shrimpy with plenty of wokhei.

The teh tarik was sweet but yummy.

Will definitely go back next time I am on London.

I highly recommend trying Roti King if you've never tried Malaysian food! The food was incredible and the service was very friendly. There are a couple of downsides though. There are not many seating options, so you are basically touching back to back with your table neighbors which makes the atmosphere very claustraphobic. You cannot book in advance, so be prepared to wait in line outside. I only waited about 15-20 minutes for a table of 4 before being seated which felt very reasonable. I would also not recommend if you can't handle some spice! Aside from those things, Roti King had an absolutely delicious rendang. It was incredibly flavorful and filling. The spinach and cheese murtabak (not pictured) is a must try and great for sharing, and the planta and kaya desserts are the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. I could dream about the kaya with how wonderful the filling was. The coconut ice cream was delicious and perfectly balanced. Overall, I would absolutely dine at Roti King again.

The food here is really good 😋 and the staff are super nice! I had the Char Kuy Tiu and Laksa – both were delicious, fresh, and packed a spicy kick 🌶️🔥! Loved that wok hei flavor – very authentic 👌. I also tried the iced lemon tea 🍋🥤, which was perfectly refreshing – not too sweet, not too sour.

The only downside is that the restaurant is quite small and gets packed 🪑🤏, so seating isn’t the most comfortable, but I guess that adds to the “authentic” vibe.

Overall, 4/5 ⭐ – definitely recommend if you enjoy Asian food 🍜 and can handle a bit of spice!

Absolute gem of a place!

Dropped in five years ago with my husband for a quick bite (no queue that time!) before catching a train and we were hooked from that first, perfectly flaky roti canai. Later moved to London and their insanely flavourful nasi goreng became a favourite post-work dinner.

Tonight there was a wait, but the service was fast and the food as good as ever. No nasi goreng… because they felt the last batch of rice was overcooked. It’s rare that a restaurant says they can’t serve a dish because it’s not up to their own standards, and I really value that honesty and commitment to quality.

(Finally… the prices are ridiculously reasonable given the quality, freshness and location moments from London Euston!)

Roti King is London’s go-to spot for authentic Malaysian comfort food 🇲🇾✨.

Nothing fancy — just comfort food. Famous for its flaky, buttery roti canai served with rich curries, it’s the kind of meal that hits all the right nostalgic notes. The menu also packs favorites like nasi lemak, beef rendang, and mee goreng — bold, hearty flavors at very reasonable prices. 🍛🔥

The vibe is no-frills and always buzzing, especially since it’s tucked just by Euston in Somers Town 🚇🍴.

Service is fast and efficient, portions are generous, and the food is consistently satisfying. A must-visit if you’re craving true Malaysian flavors in the heart of London. 🌆💙

Food: Thankfully, the food wasn’t bad (well done babe! 😂) The Banana Tree Spiced Noodles that I asked for was full of flavour and so was the Malaysian Prawn Kari. We also ‘combo’d up’ our mains so we got Indo Salad, Corn Cakes and Indo Crackers with our meals. The Corn Cakes were delicious!
Service: Decent service at the restaurant.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Banana Tree Soho on Instagram

Quick Bite from @bananatreeuk who now have a fully halal menu now. Pictured is the chargrilled beef. My fav is still the beef rendang and the duck...and of course the chocolate fondant for dessert.

@halalfoodguy's review of Banana Tree Soho on Instagram

Banana Tree Soho

The quality of banana tree has gone down a bit from previous years. I did really like the laksa ramen, it was quite tasty although quite spicy. My friend didnt really like the katsu burger as said the bread was dry. The mango chicken was very sweet but I think she liked it. The coke was a bit flat. We ordered prawn crackers and never got them. However service was quite nice and still overall food was okay.

There's a lovely range of dishes with Southeast Asian flavours, including Curries, Stir Fries and Noodles.

I didn't have high expectations, but the Banana Tree Curry with Tofu was rich and creamy and it was really comforting. The Sweetcorn Fritters were crispy and crunchy and packed with flavours, a good little side.

The staff were lovely and the interior was aesthetically pleasing, perfect for a group catch up with friends.

I order the Sweet Mango and Lime Chicken. The food was very tasty and fresh. The chicken was soft and well cooked, and the mango and lime sauce had a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors. The aroma was amazing and made the dish even more enjoyable.

The portion size was good and filling, and the food arrived warm and well packed. I really liked how flavorful the dish was without being too spicy. Overall, it was a great meal, and I would definitely order from Banana Tree again. I recommend this dish to anyone who enjoys sweet and tangy flavors.

If you want, I can also make it shorter, more casual, or more professional 😊
Best service from Dharshini :) 10/10

This was the first time I visited and it was really great. Alex was amazing and made sure to check everything we had was gluten free as I have coeliac disease. She was really kind and patient and we will definitely come back to try more dishes!

Pleasantly surprised by this little location in Soho! I've never seen a Banana Tree location before but chose to give it a go on a whim with a partner with no booking. Some other reviews say the place is a little slow on service, I found it fine but the place wasn't busy when I came. I imagine when it's busy, they are arguably understaffed.

The food, on the other hand, is amazing. It tastes great and is presented well and fast and the £10.50 meal deal is a good deal for the quality and portfoon of food you get with a drink.

Wish we had one of these in my home city Newcastle 🙏

Banana Tree

Uyghur classics including da pan ji, tugur, and hand-pulled noodles

Turpan Uyghur restaurant

It's a clean and cute restaurant run by a family. I like the carrot salad which is quite salty and flavored. The lamb rice is good, not too oily, and it has raisins and carrots inside which makes it very healthy. The diced noodles is amazing, the bell peppers are tasty in this dish, and the noodles are very soft. The lamb skewers are a bit chewy but the spice is perfect. The milk tea is not too salty. If you eat rice pudding first, then have the milk tea, it tastes even better. I recommend this restaurant and I would like to come back here in the future.

Went to this Uyghur place by the British Museum today, really happy with the meal.
I had the samsa (baked buns) and the polu (rice with lamb). The samsa had a nice crispy outside and juicy, well-spiced lamb inside. The polu was hearty – tender lamb with sweet carrots and raisins mixed into the rice. Simple, tasty, and filling.
The owner was friendly, and at the end, offered me a small dessert on the house. It was a light, yoghurt-based pudding, a really nice way to finish.
It’s a solid, genuine place with good food and kind service. If you’re in the area and want something different, I’d definitely recommend it. Will probably go back to try their laghman.

Meal was fantastic and prices were not too shabby. A student discount was greatly appreciated, but wasn’t necessary as the meal deserved its normal price. It was absolutely superb and for my first ever Uyghur meal, it was a perfect way to try it!

I included a pic of one of the meals as well as great green tea, plus the history book I was reading haha

Bottom Line: Great food and atmosphere, and staff were amazing!

I had a beef tongue salad and Uyghur rice pudding. Both tasted wonderful!

The Uyghur beef tongue salad does come with quite a strong balsamic vinegar taste so if that’s not your thing, perhaps ask if the dressing can be slightly reduced.

The rice pudding is so unique! Very cinnamony and thick, silky and creamy. Will be coming here again!

Also - the drinks are cheap (I got Ayran for £2.50) and the service is great. My waiter was very friendly and helpful ☺️.

Out of the way place but worth it!.
We had the lamb soup - oh my what a treat! I'd got there just for that.
Mains were lamb flat bread - it was nice but could do with more spice. The dumplings were amazing with the chilli oil.
We had warm milky tea to finish. We were also given a complimentary rice pudding - I don't normally like it - but wow what a treat!!. Definitely will go again & try more of the menu. 👌
Worth the wait for the food as it's hot & fresh.
Do go & try it. The young waiter was really knowledgeable & helpful in food choices.

All meat served here is halal. No pork or alcohol present.

Turpan

UberEats UK

Tukdin

It was my first time having Malaysian food. It was absolutely amazing, the flavours were really powerful and I especially loved the salted egg chicken. The service was really good: friendly and knowledgeable staff, I also loved the milo iced drink and condensed milk iced tea. Would definitely go again and try other options on the menu.

Quiet Gem in London!
The food was delicious, and the service from all the lovely staff (Syaza, Izzat and Maz) was outstanding! So thoughtful and nice and everything done with a smile. May Allah reward them for their effort!

Really great neighborhood restaurant if you’re craving authentic Malaysian food. All the dishes we ordered were solid and we can’t wait to come back to try more dishes. Really liked the noodle dish as well as the peanut sauce with vegetables and fried tofu. Only thing that could’ve been better would be the roti canai and was a bit on the pricier side (came out to £82 for the two of us) but otherwise a great dining experience!

Such a gem! The food is sooo tasty, the restaurant is authentic and atmosphere is chill. You can share dish no 31 between two people as well as homemade bread which they make in front of you!! and hummus.

Been to this place a few times now, and never disappointed. The dishes were authentic, delicious, and came in big portions. Very good value for the price for sure. Absolutely loved their oxtails soup, and their weekend special - Nasi Ayam was really nice as well. Will definitely come back for more soon.

Banana Tree O2 Arena

We went as group of 4 to find delicious food after playing activate at the o2 and looked at banana tree!

The best decision, the menu we didn’t know where to choose from so we ordered some starters to share between us and two mains.

The mocktails were 2-4-1 which was great! They were so flavourful and not just filled with syrup like other restaurants.

The food was amazing! As first timer coming to a banana tree branch this was GOOD! 😍  the dessert recommendation from the lady she had glasses on and I forgot her name think it started with a K or C she recommend us the tart! That was very good!

Overall the service was really good 5/5 and the food was delicious still thinking about it … 10/10

I highly recommend anyone who is in the area to come here!!

We visited on a weekday afternoon for lunch and ordered from the lunch menu, 1 main and 1 soft drink for £10.95. It was very quiet and peaceful, we sat in a lovely booth.
We had the katsu burger and chips, chicken with mango sauce and rice and chicken pad Thai. Then for starters we had Korean bbq chicken and chicken skewers.
The food came promptly, service was good.
The best dishes were the pad Thai, chicken skewers and bbq chicken.
The burger was a bit too saucy.
The crackers didn't seem very fresh.
The chicken with mango sauce was a bit odd, the sauce was runny and lacked flavour and the side veggies were very small. There seemed to be a lot of rice in proportion to this. Personally I would had preferred more veggies.
Toilets are upstairs and they were clean.

A lovely day for lunch with the family. I got the Thai railway rice and it was delicious! The calamari was a bit of a let down. The portions are very reasonable. Food was very good overall. One member of my group felt it was a bit salty. We got quite a few bits - 3 starters, 1 side, 5 main meals, 1 kids main, 4 drinks. It came up to £159 which is reasonable. The lychee juice was lovely too. Staff were friendly. They only have clip on high chairs to the tables but I opted out of that as my child was able to reach the table. We had a nice booth and I would come back again!

Food was great and came quite quick however the service requires some attention. The waiters lack empathy and are not quite careful at remembering to bring the ordered items, we had to keep reminding them and not too busy times. The place looks like it would have quiet and busy times which can change quickly due to the O2 Arena being nearby but that doesn’t mean the staff should treat the customers with negligence. A little attention to details would make me wanna go back to a place like this but not on this occasion.

Little bit disappointed, we arrived to an almost empty restaurant to be told that because of an event, there was a restricted menu, so several people within our party didn’t end up ordering a main because nothing suitable for their dietary requirements.  When the food came it was lukewarm which was surprising as the place was practically empty.  When we advised the staff,  the waitress was lovely and very apologetic, and instantly replaced the meal. However I will say, that the food taste wasn’t that great either, and not what I was expecting, in fact I’ve had better Chicken Katsu Curry at the pub.  The food was very bland, however it was presented nice on the Plate, and the establishment was very clean, not much atmosphere because it was a Wednesday night, and practically empty, and the cocktails were good.  Have to say we sadly left a little disappointed, and I don’t think I will return.

All chicken and beef on our menu is Halal.

Fen Noodles

I had a portion fo hand pulled noodles with aubergine sauce. they were absolutely fantastic, a bit of spice and loads of flavours. and the noodles were really good. The consistence was the best part!

In the centre of Spitalfields, this stall has 2 screens for ordering so service is fast. I ordered the aubergine bang bang noodles (vegan) as a set menu which came wuth crispy wonton wrappers. You could see the noodles being made fresh and my order was ready in less than 5 minutes. For £10 I got a good amount of food which tasted delicious. Some of the aubergine was a little bit firm but still tasty.

The set menu $10 spicy dry noodles and beef skewers not bad value. Lots of chicken and the noodles were chewy like Udon. Lots of chilli oil thou. The beef skewers were good. Tiny bit chewy but not fatty.

Don’t remember exactly what I got , however the flavours in this is immaculate! Super tasty and scrumptious. Very filling too! Definitely recommend adding chilli oil cuz it gives it the perfect amount of spice to it.

Fresh high quality ingredients and the broth is also very flavourful! I had the chicken it was the best choice in this cold weather and very comforting. The depth of flavour of the hand rolled noodles was incredible balanced with the chicken which was delicately flavoured to bring the whole dish together.

The chicken is halal but just the spicy fry mix chicken NOT the chicken soup.

Only the best vibes for one of N’s MANY Birthday Meals!

Food: I feel really bad saying this because we actually really enjoyed ourselves at Novikov, but the food just didn’t live up to our expectations. The Singapore Noodles and Prawn Fried Rice were bland and flavourless, and the Sweet and Sour Prawns weren’t as good as they are at the Chinese down the road. The Prawn Tempura was okay, quite oily though, but the Baby Squid was probably the best thing we ate that night.
Service: The atmosphere at Novikov is incredible! We really did enjoy every second there and would definitely go back, more for the lovely service rather than the food though, haha. 😬

@cravingthathalal's review of Novikov Mayfair on Instagram

It's the @novikovrestaurant review
baby! In my Top 2 restaurants and has remained there
for years. Silly of me after a good few visits I've never
actually posted a review of it! Here we are now.
There's plenty of pricey restaurants in London to
choose from but this is the best for me. There's two
sections to the restaurant, Asian or Italian. We always
opt for Asian.
Well as you're seated they serve you some vegetables
with some sauce which I believe is called shizu sauce
this sauce is pretty remarkable, and it's so tricky to
describe the taste but it's so good we finish it all up
and request another set of it. It certainly is special and
that just highlights the start of this tasteful experience.
Mains:
Korean Lamb Cutlets: A serving of 4 and these are a
must order. The way it's cooked, the tenderness is
unrivalled. Then there's the thick glaze of a teriyaki
type flavour which takes the flavour up a notch. You
can also get these cooked how you want I.e medium
rare. I'll be honest though on this occasion they arrived
warm and weren't as amazing but still damm delicious.
Black Cod with Miso sauce. Spectacular. Never had
black cod as good as this, cooked to perfection and
with that sauce just another level.
Sushi: We ordered 3 different types and all were really
really good, as you'd expect at this quality/level. Our
favorite was the salmon and cheese one - overall the
yummiest even though we also tried a truffle infused
one.
We've tried their wok


Also their wagyu tacos are nice but not amazing imo
compared to the above mains anyway.
Dessert is also great but nothing too special.
Overall Novikov offers food on such a high level of
quality and taste, the price really is worth it and makes
a great dinner spot for special occasions - the level of
flavours is up there.

@halalfoodtherapy's review of Novikov Mayfair on Instagram

Novikov Restaurant & Bar

Novikov Asian is one of my favorite restaurants in London, always offering a refined atmosphere with elegant décor that makes the dining experience feel special. The food is generally delicious, and their sushi remains outstanding with top quality and incredible taste that never disappoints. The service is excellent, with staff who are attentive, professional, and eager to make guests feel welcomed, which is one of the main reasons I always come back. This time I noticed that the quality of some dishes like the tacos and fried rice was slightly different from before, but overall the experience was still enjoyable. Novikov remains one of the best Asian dining options in London and is highly recommended for anyone who appreciates fine cuisine.

Very nice vibes in the place. The restaurant serves both italian and asian cuisines. I went for the asian restaurant. Sushi was really good. Recommended dishes are noodles, chicken sweet and sour and the top highlight was king prawns with the special cocktail sauce. Speacial NOVikola is recommended from mocktails menu and it has a special twist. Service was ok with minor delays in serving. Dessert was delicious, the special limited edition of chocolate cigar is highly recommended. The place is pricey but worth it

Service has gone down, kitchen is lazy and will not even tolerate a honey allergy.  Was quite disappointing. Quality and service has gone down drastically in the past few years. They charge you minimum charge of 100 pounds per person and the say they cannot  serve you any food. Very bad way to trap your clients.

Lovely food and service! Sushi is great, but be specific with that you order, it can be a bit greasy. The music was super loud like in a club,we asked twice to lower the volume but they only lowered it 2 percent. That was the most annoying part. Other than the super loud ear breaking music, food and service is great. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely experience.

My fav in London.. will be always my go to for food, but not the all types of sushi is delicious but it’s good..
Good atmosphere very helpful stuff
I enjoy every moment in here for real

All halal items are clearly marked on the menu including chicken, duck and lamb. Please ask a member of staff for assistance if anything is unclear.

Hong Kong restaurant

We were blown away with how amazing this restaurant was. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were celebrating a birthday as a family and there were two babies in our group. Highchairs were provided.

The service was outstanding, with great attention to food allergies in our group and recommended dishes and guidance on the number of dishes and starters for our large group.

The starters and main dishes were served efficiently and were, without exception, delicious.

Would highly recommend this restaurant as everyone enjoyed the food and service.

Thank you for making our evening so enjoyable

Fully halal authentic Chinese restaurant!😍 The dim sums are a MUST try! We loved the chilli oil dumplings and the chicken & crab siu mai!🤤 The waiters are so attentive and really help you to decide on recommendations. This was my second time visiting here with my sister and will definitely be back again soon!

This is the best Asian restaurant in the area. The food, portions, service and price all decent. Food was not over seasoned with salt or MSG. The king prawn fried rice was soo tasty, the dim sums and a roasted duck was so good. Defo recommend 👌

I cannot stress how amazing this place and the food is here!! Mashallah fully halal dim sum and Chinese food - it was truly delicious! Honestly, the best we have ever had. And I am already looking forward to coming back here inshallah! Moreover, the staff were so friendly and added to the charm of this place:)

The gentleman with the glasses who served me today was fabulous. I had a variety of dumplings. My most fav was the chilli oil dumpling. It was just the right type of spicy. Least fav was probably the beef cheung fun. There was plenty of filling. They did not skimp on the filling which was amazing. And the beef was quite flavourful, however, the wrapping (rice flour wrapping I think)- wasn't my fav. But it was still really good. Will defo be back :)

We do fully halal food menu, and no pork served.

Banana Tree Westbourne Grove

I loved dining at Banana tree today. Me and my two other friends came for a get together and the service was amazing. Renuka was very accommodating and had such a friendly approach with us going above and beyond to make sure our experience was nice. The food was amazing. I ordered the spiced noodles and they were perfectly seasoned. We also got the dumplings, chicken wings and satay sticks and they were all tasty. The portion size was a nice generous amount. We also got the banana sticky rice which was also such a nice dessert.  Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice place for a meet up with good food.

Banana Tree has become my regular choice for lunch, and for good reason. The portions are always generous – more than enough to leave me satisfied, with leftovers quite often. My personal favourite is the Firecracker Bowl – it hits the perfect balance of spice and flavour, and the textures are always spot on. The rice, chicken, and veggies are consistently cooked well, and the dish feels both hearty and fresh.

I’ve tried a few other dishes from their menu as well, and they’ve all been reliably tasty – nothing ever feels rushed or bland. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better, especially when you’re popping in on a busy day.

Highly recommend if you’re after a filling, flavourful, and dependable meal.

(halal too!)

Went to banana tree with my nieces for casual dine at Westbourne grove branch, the food is always nice as usual and the service has always been top notch for me as i have visited few times. Mr Ronnie Rohit Hubbert was especially attentive and friendly also gave us their new soy sauce ice cream on the house as i was disappointed tht they have stopped doing my favourite desert the black rice pudding. Anyhow i still like visiting their for their food and 2for1 mocktail.

Really enjoyed my time dining in here. The service was super quick and staff were very friendly and helpful with going over the menu with me. They have lots of vegan options that were very tasty. Cocktails were very good as well. Make sure to go during their happy hour to try more drinks. The fried banana dessert was very good as well. Overall, light and refreshing cusine. Would recommend and visit again for sure.

Best laksa I have ever had.. the flavours were so nice.. and I’ve had a lot of laksa’s over my time.

Banana Tree Battersea

We had a lovely celebration of our daughters 18th birthday. We had a bottomless brunch. Quite often on these kinds of lunches the food is not very nice. However the food at Banana tree was fantastic. We had a very lovely waitress called Jinal. She gave us a complimentary birthday cake with ice cream for our daughter. We were definitely recommend the banana tree and will be returning soon.

Lovely calm atmosphere. Shamil was attentive, without being overly assertive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and smiled throughout the service. A pleasant experience. Thank you!

We went today for my twin cousins’ bday and the staff were so friendly and helpful - thank you so much for being so kind❤️they brought us cake at the end which was really lovely of them too and as always the food was amazing!

Delicious pad Thai chicken noodles, it can get very noisy in the restaurant. Making it hard to hear!
Expensive cocktails even with 2-1 offer £14.35 each for pornstar martini!
Had desserts which were both nice (expensive again)

We had a lovely time, food and service was great. Shamir took care of us and made sure we had what we needed. His service was great! Will definitely be coming back again :)

Banana Tree Islington

My first visit at this place.
Been welcomed by a staff member and a manager who seated me while she could as it was a little busy.
She was very polite and friendly.
I ordered tofu laksa and I asked for no aubergine inside as I don’t like it.
The soup was full of flour and spicy but I been warned and I was aware of it as well but I don’t mind spices.
I been asked if I am allergic to anything and also the special lunch offer was presented to me and I could have free soft drink.
The decor is nice and cozy.
I paid 12.32£ which I think is reasonable.
The wait for the food wasn’t long at all.
Thanks.

Not as busy and didn't have the hectic rumble of other Banana Trees. So the food came quickly and efficiently.

Alex our service provider was funny and charming. Had good banter and made good recommendations.

The atmosphere was chilled and I wasn't in a rush to eat even with the 90 mins time for the "Bottomless Bowl". I would highly recommend and it's only 5 mins away from Angel station.

Excellent service from some very lovely staff, made us feel truly welcome. Interiors are very nice and family friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, lots of variety to choose from, you're effectively spoilt for choice. The Banana Fritters at the end was incredible and a great way to finish the meal. Highly recommended!

We opted for a selection of small plates/starters and not one of them disappointed. Such flavour and delicious dishes.
Staff are very welcoming and attentive throughout our dining experience.
I would highly recommend.

I had a great experience at Banana Tree in Angel. The customer service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and very quick. I ordered the lunch deal and was impressed with how delicious the food was and how fast it arrived. Overall, a really smooth and enjoyable visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Banana Tree West Hampstead

We stopped by for dinner on a freezing cold day, and this was exactly the warm, comforting meal we needed. We ordered quite a feast: the Beef Massaman Curry, Beef Rendang, Ramen with Chicken Gyoza, and the Chicken Laksa. Honestly, every single dish was amazing—huge portions and great value for the price.
A special shout-out to our waiter, Blasio, who was incredibly nice, polite, and gave us some fantastic recommendations. We will definitely be coming back!

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The food was full of flavour — beautifully spiced, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Every dish felt authentic and full of personality, from the fragrant Singapore noodles to the tender satay.

What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Eryk was absolutely brilliant — friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure we had a great time. He offered excellent recommendations and checked in at just the right moments without being intrusive.

It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the service, but this one definitely does. I’ll definitely be coming back — and recommending it to friends!

Every member of the staff was great, but we really liked our server, Shamil. He took very good care of us and all of his recommendations were perfect. They hit the spot! We ate the veggie spring rolls, veggie gyoza with sweet chili, chicken masaman, steak soba noodles, and a mango rice pudding with two pornstar martinis, and it couldn't have been a more delicious meal.

John is the best restaurant manager I ever met ! He is so kind and generous and so good at his job ! He is numero uno ! I visit often and the food and service is always fab !

Honestly, the best banana tree ever. Laksa and ramen were delicious. Eryk and Kainat took care of us so well. Also the chef was kind enough to adjust the food according to our wish. Really recommend!

Gyoza Guys

Hands down the best Gyozas you’ll ever experience

I’ve tried many and will always return for a taste off these delicious, perfectly cooked parcels of joy

Chef Amir is constantly experimenting with new flavours and ways to deliver his food

The passion and dedication shows with the work that goes into selling these at the market every week

I’m grateful that they’ve made it through 2020 and 2021 and will no doubt keep going from strength to strength

In an ever changing landscape of Maltby street traders this business has remained a familiar landmark and reference point

Try them any time of the day to satisfy your umami desires and quell that need for some spice in your life!

Read great reviews so popped over to get some dumplings. They were out of the steamed dumplings but gave us extra of the crispy to make up for it and they were incredible.....that chili oil is out of this world good

We had the chicken satay gyozas. They were very tasty. Loved the sauce. Would have loved a bit more of it. Next time we'll have the Korean ones.

Awesome gyoza, generously filled, delicious sauces on top. I went to Maltby Street Market specifically for them and I didn't get disappointed. I'm so glad that they convinced me to take the bento box because I almost liked the Udon noodles and the salad more than the gyoza. The more I ate, the more I liked it. As you eat, you get trough layers and layers of Japanese cuisine flavour.  It was great, I will definitely go and find them again!

Some of the best street food I've ever had! I got the mi goreng udon with satay, which was so flavour-packed and delicious. The chili oil (which they sell in jars) is to die for. The staff were also delightful and were able to provide recommendations, as it was my first time there.

The Ivy Asia St Paul's

We visited Ivy Asia St Paul’s for an early Christmas Eve dinner with friends at around 6:00 PM. As the restaurant was not very busy at that hour, they kindly accommodated us earlier than our reservation, which we appreciated.

The décor was charming and festive, and I was genuinely delighted to find a Christmas cracker waiting on the table — a small but thoughtful touch that immediately set a celebratory tone. The overall ambience felt lively yet comfortable.

The food itself was excellent — flavourful, beautifully presented, and with particularly strong menu options for vegetarians, which was a real highlight of the evening.

Unfortunately, the service significantly detracted from the experience. Our table server was slow and unorganised, leading to multiple mix-ups with our orders. From the end of our main course to settling the bill, the process took an astonishing 45 minutes — a time frame that included an unreasonably slow arrival of dessert.

When we requested takeaway boxes for our leftovers, we were told none were available, which was disappointing for a restaurant of this calibre.

The manager, however, deserves recognition for being prompt, decisive, and effective in addressing the issues caused by the service lapses. That said, it was frustrating that throughout the meal I repeatedly had to request managerial intervention just to keep things moving. Eventually, service was progressing so slowly that I had to get up myself to make payment.

While I understand that the festive season can be demanding for restaurants, the lack of efficiency and basic service training was difficult to overlook. Except for the service, the entire experience was wonderful — however, for me, service is a fundamental prerequisite when choosing to return to a restaurant.

Not worth the price. We went for lunch at St Pauls as a date and that was a mistake, it’s full of business people lunching and you are sat close together. I got the rib eye steak medium and it was verging on well done.
There was nothing particularly wrong with the food but at £180 for 2 people with one soft drink each and 3 courses it’s way too expensive for what you get.
Also the one in Mayfair is better for a date.
The menu has a good selection for vegans however.

I had an amazing experience at Ivy Asia St Paul’s. The ambience was stunning, and the food was absolutely superb. Service from Matthew was exceptional — he was kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond our expectations. His expertise and recommendations were spot on; the seared beef and chicken teriyaki were both outstanding, and the cheesecake dessert was super delicious.

Thank you so much for a fantastic dining experience! Highly recommend.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and very authentic, with an incredible view of St. Paul’s Cathedral — that alone makes the visit worthwhile. The food was good and enjoyable, but not particularly memorable; I would describe it as solid, well-executed Asian cuisine rather than something truly outstanding.

Unfortunately, the service felt quite flat. All of the staff, including the managers, seemed very serious, tired, and not very welcoming — no smiles, and at times they even appeared a bit irritated. It was noticeable that they were understaffed or overwhelmed by the workload, which clearly affected the overall experience.

I would still recommend the place if service is not your top priority and you are mainly looking for a beautiful setting with a stunning view rather than a culinary revelation.

Tip: there is a corner table by the window in the corner of the dining room with the best view (shown in the last photo) — if possible, try to reserve that one.

This is our daughter’s favourite restaurant, and one of our favourites too, so what better place to come and celebrate her graduation! It is a beautiful venue that simply never disappoints! The service is perfect, and the staff are very friendly and professional. The food is exceptionally good, very well presented and tastes great too! We also had a great view of St Paul’s Cathedral , which was an added bonus! Will we come again? Of course we will, and I would highly recommend that you do too! 😀

Spoon & Rice Wembley

I’m not well acquainted with Filipino food, but yum! I liked the chicken juander—good flavour and crisp. We ordered via a delivery app, so didn’t visit in person, but the food impressed. The only minor complaint would be that the salad made the chips soggy while our meal was being delivered. However, should we ever find ourselves in the area, we know where to go for a decent meal. Starred.

Really good Filipino food — flavourful, fresh, and definitely worth trying. The only downside was the long wait, but the food itself didn’t disappoint once it arrived. Overall, a tasty spot if you’re in Wembley and craving Filipino dishes!

I’ve missed Filipino food and this place hits the mark! The Chicken Inasal reminds me of home and the Lechon Kawali was crispy! They also do Ube Ice Cream, Halo-halo, other Filipino bites and Filipino branded drinks like Gina! Definitely worth checking out when you’re wondering what to eat at Box Park next time!

Really good traditional Filipino comfort food, simple, tasty and filling. Personally I’m not a fusion fan and more of “how Lola (Grandma) used to make it!. I’m glad they kept the flavours true to the original. Menu has just enough options to try something different next time you’re around .
Friendly staff, prices are fair. Overall good job!

Update: Had found out that they are no longer at this location, but they do have a spot in Box park @ Wembley. Check it out!

I highly recommend the chicken rice and pork rice from this place—the meat is super tender and juicy, and the portions are generous. Absolutely loved it and can't recommend it enough!

We have Halal food on our menu including: Pinoy Grilled Chicken, Spoon & Rice Wrap (Chicken), Spoon & Rice Lumpia (Chicken), Chicken Juander.

Dining room with cosy red velvet banquettes

The grand, luxurious settings of Park Chinois were unforgettable! 

We were lucky enough to visit one of the most lavish and beautiful restaurants we’ve ever dined at...Park Chinois- even the name rings elegance! 🤣 We started off by trying the Szechuan Vegetable dumpling and Wagyu Beef Gyoza, which were delightful starters, the former being a little spicier and the latter being more rich and savoury. We then had the immaculate looking Wagyu Beef Short Ribs, which was again filled with rich flavours while the Wagyu beef was so tender you could eat it without even chewing. We also got the Roast Duck Fried Rice and Gamberi Rossi (Prawns), these two dishes were not as delicious as the others but they were not bad nonetheless.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Park Chinois on Instagram

Park Chinois

I really like the environment and enjoyed having dim sum here for lunch. The siu long bao was extremely good. The chilli fried chicken was so so, but still enjoyable. All the other dim sum we ordered were of very high quality, made with fresh ingredients. You can really tell the care and the skill that goes into their homemade dim sum and cheong fun.

I was surprised that the restaurant was quite empty during weekend lunch, considering how good the food is. I think this place deserve more attention and could benefit from stronger marketing.

Overall, great value for money with good quality dim sum and a pleasant environment

Yesterday at lunchtime, my husband and I went to Park Chinios for lunch.
We were a little disappointed, as the dim sum did not taste the same as when I visited six years ago, and the presentation was also not as refined as before. However, I am looking forward to returning on Sunday and hope the other dim sum dishes will be a pleasant surprise.

We ended our meal with a matcha dessert, which was absolutely delicious. I do not usually enjoy Matcha , as I find the flavour too strong and bitter, but my husband wanted to try it, so we ordered it. To my surprise, it was excellent — even I began to change my mind about matcha. Paired with the crème brûlée, it was a perfect combination.

The service at the restaurant was outstanding. The manager and staff were all very helpful, and we truly enjoyed our dining experience.

Went there with my friends for dinner and can’t recommend it enough! Excellent service by all staff members, very good recommendations and specially by Yannik. He was very helpful throughout.
Food was brilliant, will definitely go again.

came here for the set lunch, priced at only £30pp in mayfair could not complain!! 2 starters, a main and a soup for £30 in mayfair is amazing and the food was worth the price. beautiful restaurant

We went for the lunch offer. It was nice and quiet and service was really nice. My only critique is the starters were better than the main. The main left a lot to be desired and was pretty average while the starters were excellent. Even if you don’t love corn the soup is worth a try. It would be great in the winter to warm you up but slightly heavy for the summer. I would go again for starters and drinks.

Select beef and chicken dishes are halal. Halal duck needs to be preordered. Pork and alcohol is served. 

@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Bari Bari Whitechapel on Instagram

Bari Bari

Wonderful, authentic delicious Korean food at very reasonable prices. Top quality and generous portions too. Had fish stew, which I loved. Friendly welcoming staff and vibrant atmosphere. Recommended!

Reserved a table for a large group and I was grateful that the restaurant was patient with us when a few of us arrived late. We ended up all ordering at about 3:50 and one of the later guests ordered at 4pm. Within 30 mins, 7/9 of us had received our dishes. After 50 mins of ordering, the 8th person had received their food.  The person who ordered at 4pm didn’t receive her food till 5:12 which was shocking for a vegetarian bibimbap, considering one of the people to first receive their food ordered beef bibimbap, so you’d think the vegetarian one would arrive faster. We asked waiters about 3 times and none of them had a concrete answer. They were also not very kind, had frowns on their face the whole time and didn’t even try to be polite with us. We’d prefer if they would’ve told us that dish would come so late so that person could’ve ordered something else as by the time their food had arrived, we had all eaten. To compensate, we asked to get the service charge removed to which the server looked confused but we were luckily able to to take that off as other reviews said otherwise.

On the positive side, my spicy beef stew photographed was lovely tasting and fairly priced. It wasn’t filling on its own though so needed to order steamed rice on the side. The ambience was lovely as well with nice lighting and decorations.

Food was nice but service would have to improve for me to return.

⭐ Constructive Review for Bari Bari Restaurant

I’ve visited Bari Bari a few times now because it’s close by and I often crave (rice) Asian food, Unfortunately, the waiting times have been consistently disappointing.

On my recent visit, I waited 47 minutes for a simple set lunch — even though the restaurant was only half full. I noticed several tables were also waiting, and no one acknowledged the long delay.

This wasn’t the first time I encountered this issue. On a previous visit with my husband, his sweet & sour chicken arrived after about 25 minutes, but my meal took almost an hour(Galbitang). He finished eating and had to leave for work while my dish still hadn’t been served, aside from a bowl of rice left getting cold on the table. That experience was already upsetting, but I wanted to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt.

Today, however, I noticed a group of three guests — who seemed to know the owner — being served quickly despite arriving after several other customers, myself included. This added to the frustration and made the wait feel even more unfair. They left the restaurant while I’m still waiting for my food.

For a casual restaurant offering simple dishes, a 10–20 minute wait is reasonable. 30 minutes starts to feel excessive, and 47 minutes without any communication or apology is quite disrespectful to customers’ time.

The food itself is fairly basic and not particularly authentic, so waiting this long makes the overall experience feel even less worthwhile. I hope the restaurant improves its service flow and consistency, because at the moment, the delays overshadow everything else.

I went to eat with my boyfriend for the first time.

❶ Sizzling Bulgogi Set  10.8

Special lunch set before 3pm on working days

This is very suitable for office workers. There are many office buildings nearby.

When I went there, there was a table with Korean men in suits for dinner.

One set for each person

❷Galbitang (short rib stew) Beef Rib Soup 12.5

It's most comfortable to have some warm soup in winter.

The rice written in the menu is not included

I don't know if I ordered the wrong set meal that day.

Or because I actually gave side and rice at noon.

❸cold noodle cold noodles 14.5

In fact, this is more than enough for two people.

But I really wanted to eat cold noodles that day.

Add white vinegar and cold noodles and dip a little hot sauce. It's so delicious.

The second time was on Christmas Day. Their house was still open.

I called an hour in advance to reserve a seat.

This time it's with a little sister. She is very knowledgable about Korean food. Take her to have a taste.

❹ kimchi pancake kimchi pancake 10.5

This is the starter, but it's the last one. It's very slow.

It feels like it's done now.

But my friend certified it was delicious! She has eaten it all. Highly recommended.

❺Galbi jjim (braised beef ribs) braised beef ribs 18.9

The beef ribs are still soft and delicious.

I highly recommend it to friends who like to eat meat.

❻Spicy Kimchi stew Spicy Cabbage Soup 10.8

My friend likes to eat kimchi very much.

So there are both kimchi cakes and kimchi soup.

According to the comments provided by her, the pickles in this house are light.

It should be to reconcile the regional taste.

It can't be said that it's not authentic, but it's really less delicious.

The shop is full of brown-black waiters with no Asian faces.

But I specially watched the kitchen, haha

As long as the chef is from Korea~

A small cookie was also given on Christmas Day.

So heartfelt

Nice food, but quite a small restaurant!

Not really buggy friendly but still doable.

Language was a barrier. As a novice to this cuisine, we were trying to ask about the menu options and we got the completely wrong things as they did not explain it properly. Considering the clientele they must deal with not sure why they are not better equipped to help out diners.
We also got a huge volume of food ordered because of this!

Really expensive for what it is.
Serves halal food.

We serve Halal, ask a member of staff for details. Pork and Alcohol are also served.

A solid 4. 4.5 if they did half stars. It didn’t blow me away which is why it didn’t get 5 but it is definitely a good authentic Thai restaurant. There’s parking too which is very helpful and staff were great. One lady worked very hard during the lunch time rush. She never kept us waiting too long, very attentive. Decor is nice and location is good. Not too far from the DLR station either. If it was sunny it would have been a lot nicer but even with the winter weather the atmosphere was nice. Warm, cosy. Drinks were good. Curry was spot on and calamari. Left feeling full. Throughly enjoyed it. Will definitely recommend and would come again

Looking for authentic Thai cuisine with exemplary service, comfortable seating and a relaxed atmosphere? Look no further.

We’ve eaten here dozens of times, sampling most of the extensive menu and cannot fault any of it.

Fabulously tasty, freshly prepared with quality ingredients at prices that won’t break the bank. Very highly recommended.

To get off of the bat the place had
very nice food with an enormous variety of delicious Thai food. They had lunch meal deals that you could get for cheaper however, it was only a select amount of food that you could get for this discount price. If you have never tried Thai food and would like to then this place is a perfect introduction especially coming from somebody like me who has had a lot of Thai food in the past.

The service is amazing with very nice waiters and waitresses. The tables had beautiful intricate wood designs adding to the Thai vibe.

I ate during work and school hours so it is unfair to completely judge the atmosphere especially when it can obviously be a lot busier during peak hours on weekends. Despite that, it still got quite busy and there was a decent amount of chatter and buzz. It was situated right near the river once again elevating the vibe.

incredibly suburban spot. it has a parking lot outside in the middle of Canary wharf. it felt like I was in Long Island LOL and had the appetizer combo which had a way better fried tofu than the actual fried tofu itself and had the Thai iced teas which had a robust flavor that was a bit different from the original one that I normally have and also had the pad noodles from egg which I was aiming for non-spicy and it delivered so it was a bit salty but otherwise flavors were decent. I wouldn't say elsewise and the fuser great for the outdoors and bathrooms are really modern and clean so would recommend

Had a celebratory dinner with my friends. The ambience, the food, the staff, the decor everything was wonderful. The starter platters had way less to offer for the price.
The dinner portions were good.

The BEST Seafood Hot Plate 🙌🏽
We popped into the London Bridge Branch of Rosa’s Thai after work for a quick dinner. We were really impressed with the food, especially the Calamari, which was light and crispy. We also got the Chicken Wings which weren’t bad. For mains we asked for the Grilled Steak Strips and Seafood Hot Plate. Both were delicious; we requested the steak be cooked to a medium so it wasn’t chewy, and it was cooked perfectly. The Seafood Hot Plate was amazing 🤤. A mixture of prawns, mussels, calamari and veg, drenched in a yummy spicy sauce. Customer service was also excellent, our waitress really went the extra mile to ensure we were having a good time and enjoying the food! 👌🏽

@twopeasfoodies's review of Rosa's Soho on Instagram

Amazingly I'd never actually been to @rosasthaicafe before. Well, now I have. Had some nice Thai food here, pictured is the beef stir fry and the famous prawn pad thai .

A simple and casual place with good food and vibes. I ate at the Carnaby location, but they have serveral around town. .

The chicken and beef are halal here. There is pork, but its limited to 2 dishes and cooked separately .

I paid for my meal in full.

@halalfoodguy's review of Rosa's Soho on Instagram

Rosa's Thai Soho

★★½
I visited Rosa’s Thai on Dean Street with my partner and, while the food itself was excellent, the overall experience was let down by the service and organisation.

I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and my partner had the Vegetable Khao Soi Noodle Soup. Both dishes were superb with great portion sizes. My Pad Thai had generous pieces of chicken and was full of flavour, and the Nam Dang Manao soft drink was one of the best I have ever had. On the food alone, I have no complaints.

Unfortunately the rest of the experience was disappointing. We had a reservation for 19:00 and arrived at 18:45 in case we could be seated early. We were told to return in ten minutes as the restaurant was full. When we returned just before 19:00 we were again told there was no space and we were not seated until 19:15, despite booking more than a week in advance and planning our evening around a nearby film showing (Leicester Square is 5 minutes away, so this is likely a common occurence). Once seated, we ordered straight away as we had looked online and already decided, which turned out to be a wise decision as the table next to us waited far longer even for their drinks. Although the server apologised and blamed delays on a “large party downstairs”, there was no sign of this (We went downstairs to use the loo, and didn't see any large tables), and the whole operation felt understaffed and chaotic.

The food at Rosa’s Thai is genuinely great, and I would consider visiting another branch outside central London where it may be less hectic. Sadly my first experience was marred almost entirely by the service, which brings this visit down to a 2.5 star rating.

had a wonderful time here. we ordered a lot and tried all their forms of fried rice (chicken, prawn & vegetarian), and loved them all. my favourite was their fish curry and their beef curry–absolute best! their spring rolls were a bit bland, but it tasted good regardless, and i enjoyed everything else!

plus: the waiters were sooooo nice and friendly! 10/10 would come again.

Very busy little restaurant that serves decent food. The pad thai was a let down and wasn't really authentic compared to what you would get in Thailand.
Spring rolls were crunchy and delicious. Also ordered the duck curry - rich flavor with a good spice kick!
I also ordered the signature drink - can't remember what it was called but was a red colored drink. Did not like it at all as it tasted of cough syrup!
Would I come back, probably not.

Rosa’s Thai was cosy and the food was amazing! Not super spicy and so flavourful! We had fried chicken wings, Thai calamari and the pad sew with prawns and Hannah was an amazing server. Will definitely be back to try everything on the menu! 🥰

I had dinner here last night with a few friends, and the service was excellent. Our waiter sonam was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. He gave great recommendations, made sure our drinks were always full, and handled everything with a smile. It really made our evening more enjoyable. Huge thanks to the team—I’ll definitely be back!

Our chicken and beef across all stores is Halal.

I wouldn't know about this place if it wasn't for Uncle Roger. Ordering food is very convenient, as you can do it just by using the touch screen ordering device. There's only a couple of meals to choose from, but it's enough. The restaurant specialise in Hainanese Chicken and Nasi Lemak. I tried both and it was truly awesome. Although the portion are a bit too small. We came on Sunday, expecting huge crowds, but ordering takes a couple of minutes and another five to get your food, so it was super quick. I'd love to come back to try Char Siu Pork. Great food and service, a real must-try food experience!

The food is alright. My chicken rice was tasteful albeit not even being warm. Kaya toast was yum, reminds me of home but, very pricey.
As a tourist - it’s suffice.

I notice other comments about not accepting cash being tourist. Yes I always carry cash with me but that’s a pathetic reason to give a venue low rating. It’s called a Travel card that doesn’t have international transaction fees, it’s not hard to google to find out about it.

I love the food and drinks at Mei Mei! Especially the Iced Bandung! 🌸 When I fly to London, I go there at least once. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is not simply rice with chicken, it‘s more than that. 😌

One of the best places for Singapore food. Tucked away in the lovely Borough market.
The food was INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend the Chai Sui Pork meal with chicken broth rice, fried egg on top their chilli oil yummmm (if there is one thing you get make it this one) and the fried chicken was utterly delicious 🤤 . The milo chocolate drink is fantastic. I’ve also ordered online via their shop and utterly love the kaya toast. I’m a massive fan and will keep going back. Fantastic service and super lovely staff.

I recently tried the Hainanese Chicken Rice at Mei Mei, and it was absolutely delicious! The dish was wonderfully tasty and incredibly flavourful. A definite must-try for anyone looking for Singaporean flavours.

Malaysian cuisine in a modern, scarlet-walled room with hibiscus stencils and teardrop lamps.

Satay House Malaysian Restaurant

It is the BEST satays in London. You can pass the information to your friends. The Malaysian waitors provided good service too.

That is the closest taste to home of Singapore. 🇸🇬 You can taste the fatty chicken & charcoal taste. It is traditional way of how Singapore does it… they BBQ the chicken sticks on the fire 🔥 charcoal. You can request pork, lamb or chicken. :)

Satay House Restaurant is such a nice spot and definitely a must-visit if you’re craving Malaysian food in London. It’s the oldest Malaysian restaurant in town and you can really taste the authenticity in their dishes.

The chicken satay was the highlight of our meal, so, so good! Honestly the best satay I’ve had in London. I had the bee hoon sup, which was the perfect warm and comforting bowl, while my boyfriend had the nasi goreng kampung. The flavours really hit the spot, though we both wished it still came with kangkung instead of peas. His parents ordered the Nasi Campur, and both the kari ayam and kari kambing were absolutely delicious.

Highly recommend this restaurant. They even have a menu that works really well for big groups. Authentic, tasty, and worth the visit!

We have tried Kari Laksa and Ayam Lemak Cili Api , both are finger licking good and very tasty. The portion sizes are decent too and the only thing would be cost of Roti bread is 9 GBP which i felt is too high just for a roti bread but its very good though . But otherwise its must visit and must try for this little cozy Malaysian food place

Nice place to enjoy some Malaysian Cuisine especially if you need some Sambal Belacan(note: not spicy enough for our SEA tastebuds).

Must must Book in advance!!

Mee Sup

This is my favourite Malay restaurant in London. I discovered it 10+ years ago thanks to a Malay friend and I always come back when visiting London. I particularly recommend their Kari Laksa, Nasi Lemak and Roti Chanai with fish curry sauce.

If you’re looking for a restaurant with relaxed vibes and mouth-watering food, Flesh and Buns is a definite shout.

For starters we ordered the Fried Squid (a must if it’s ever on the menu and we didn’t regret it 🤤), the Chicken Yakitori and the Korean Fried Chicken Wings. The sauce on the wings was spicy and scrumptious, and the Chicken Yakitori was flavoured deliciously. As a main, the Salmon Teriyaki initially seemed as if it wouldn’t be very filling but we sure were wrong! The flavoursome salmon steak was cooked perfectly, and served with pickled veg. I ordered the Grilled Aubergine, which was surprisingly good! 
The best thing about the place was the loud but friendly atmosphere, you could tell everyone was having a good time! 👏🏽 Quick note, the chicken is halal!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Flesh & Buns Covent Garden on Instagram

*only the chicken is halal* Found out that all the chicken served @fleshandbuns and buns is halal. So in went and checked it out. Pictured are the Korean fried chicken wings which where absolutely fantastic. Really sticky and messy but the heat and flavour made these the best things I had. Please not that alcohol and pork is served here, so of course that will not appeal to some people. #food #foodie #foodgasam #foodpic #foodporn #halalfoodguy #halalfood #halal #instagood #instafood #photooftheday #foodreview #review #foodblog #bdsnaps

@fleshandbuns 

The Korean wings were by far some of the best we’ve ever had. Succulent and falling off the bone.  The grilled broccoli is also a must, flavoursome with a slight crunch. For mains, the chicken boas were crisp and tender paired perfectly with the creamy sauce. The salmon was soft and really well cooked with a slightly salty teriyaki sauce and fresh cucumber and lemon.

This place is slightly on the pricier side but definitely worth it and we would highly recommend visiting !

Flesh & Buns Covent Garden

Overall dining experience was good. Just thought the food didn't worth that high price.

Seating
We were 3 and we were there a Monday night around 7.30pm. It wasn't packed at all but they allocated us to a table that would you would have to share seating with others (a big table that could seat around 8 to 10 people). It was a bit awkward given that there were many other tables available. I was guessing they might have a lot of people afterwards but it turned out wasn't. The seating would have been done better.

Food
We had a £40 (per person)tasting menu that they said would cover most of their popular dishes. Overall, I would pay  £30 at most for this tasting menu. £40 is overpriced I guess for their "trendiess" and "fashion Asian /japanese/ chinese" meal idea. The food was quite good and mostly were strong in flavour and with pleasant presentation. The tuna was intriguing as I found the sauce gave really unique taste. All the other food was normal from my view. The pork belly was quite well made meat,soft and crispy skin. The duck was too dry. I didn't like the  sauces that went together with both, didn't match from my point of view. Chicken wings were the Korean style one, strong flavour, mild spiciness. The desert was some fun gimmick as they gave you fire to grill the marshmallow yourself. The taste of the marshmallow however was special, lemon like taste. Their buns were ok. Hot and fresh, proper texture. But a lack of the sweetness that was supposed to be there for Asian white buns, which was a bit disappointing.  The juice were fresh and nicely made

Takeaway
We couldn't finish the food so we would like to pack them away. Sadly they had a policy / restriction that their premises weren't allowed to let people take food away. You could do that in your own way though.

Service
Waiters were quite attentive. The manager was helpful.

Oh my goodness. Second time here and the food, experience and service is just as we remembered - 10/10. The Korean Chicken Wings, Wagu Bao Buns and Basque Cheesecake is so unbelievable we go from non-stop talking to absolute silence. A very good sign! Our favourite restaurant and, tonight, Angela was a delight. Thank you!!

I visited this place for my birthday, and it was truly an amazing experience. It was my first time trying bao buns, and they were absolutely immaculate. We ordered the large set, which was more than enough for the three of us. The fish, pork, and beef fillings were all incredibly juicy and flavorful. Although it’s on the pricier side, it’s definitely worth it for the quality and overall experience.
