Solis

First time upon a recommendation and Wow!!! 100/10! Food super yummy! Service from Randy & Cristal was superb! They were welcoming, polite, professional, kind and made us feel special!! We had the steak and the chicken, we were expecting good food but was way beyond what we thought.. Everything was presented well and was delicious!! (we had the corn, croquettes, steak and chicken) They even gave me a surprise dessert for my birthday! Thank you so much Solis & all the team for a brilliant time! 🥰❤️🥰

The halal steak was amazing! The sauce and fries were delicious too. I just wish they offered a different salad option instead of just tomatoes, but that’s more of a personal preference. The waitress overheard it was my friend’s birthday and surprised her with a slice of cheesecake, which was such a thoughtful touch. Definitely one of my favourite spots for both food and atmosphere.

Ever since I saw this place on the gram a couple of years ago, I always wanted to go. After thorough and heartfelt prayers the day finally arrived, we planned a visit to Battersea Power Station and eat at Solis.
Firstly Battersea power station isn’t the easiest place to get to via public transport however for motorists and the people in the near vicinity I guess they can’t really complain! The centre itself is very modern, opulent and the shopping catered for those with the higher disposable income!

Anyways to Solis, I managed to find a quieter day whereby they were happy and had enough capacity to seat 14 of us! (And no, I’m not running a tour guide).

The restaurant itself is quite chic with decor that takes you back to the 50’s high end dining which I thought was Cuban however my knowledge is somewhat limited. I asked the host and they advised it is Uruguayan with a hint of Argentinian!
Anyways we ordered and our food came out relatively quickly. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and the sauce just complimented the steak so nicely! Each bite of the steak just melted on my tongue and I didn’t want it to end! Best of all, it’s all halal!

2 years is a long time to wait to visit a restaurant but it was well worth the wait! Highly recommend and I can’t wait to visit again (hopefully sooner than 2 years)

absolutely incredible! The steak was amazing one of the best I’ve had

and it was so good that we even ordered some dishes twice. The potatoes that came with the steak were also fantastic.

Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend this place ✅✅✅

Solis is always buzzing, and it’s easy to see why. The steak and fries are incredibly rich and satisfying, and the steak sandwich was devoured in minutes - perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Don’t skip the cheesecake with berry coulis — honestly out of this world, and I’ve yet to find a comparable alternative in London. It’s up there with my top 3 desserts!

From the food to the atmosphere, Solis consistently delivers a fantastic experience. A solid 10/10 that keeps me coming back

The Tamil Prince

I am a broken record singing the praises of the Indian food in London but it just always seems so crazy to me to be able to eat so well at the many upscale Indian spots in London when you have so few comparable restaurants in New York. Tamil Prince was on my bucket list and so happy to finally have gone. Food was excellent. Started with a gunpowder margarita which was delicious. All of the starters were perfect. The king prawn was exceptional. For mains a delicious chicken curry and a paneer masala were highlights. Service was excellent and the very attentive staff made the meal even more special. I must try Tamil Crown next.

Just amazing! Best meal out I've had in ages. The food, service, ambience and general vibe were all 10/10. I can't fault it. We travelled about an hour and it was so worth it! Pretty reasonably priced for the quality too. Would 💯 return and also try their other restaurants!

Modern quality Indian food in a relaxed ex-pub. Quality ingredients in a short menu. Friendly, professional service.

Sholay Batura, lamb ribs, dosa, chicken and lamb curries great as were the chicken wings and mango lassi. The birthday gulab jaman = lovely touch. Okra fries not exciting, wouldn’t reorder. We will be back!

Loved this place! Highly recommend to check out when in London. Can’t wait to come back n check out the sister restaurants. Usually Indian fusion or modern Indian doesn’t do justice to the authentic taste of Indian cuisine but TP has figured it out. Ordered everything on the menu (except salad) and they all had diff flavor profiles (unlike some Indian restaurants that use the same base sauce). Kudos to this team for hitting the mark on food, taste and service! Shout out to Shiva (our server)…friendly, accommodating and helpful menu suggestions.

Had a wonderful experience at The Tamil Prince! The food was absolutely delicious — proper South Indian flavors that truly hit the spot. The chicken was so good, we had to order it twice! Everything was served warm, which added to the comfort and authenticity of the meal.

Service was good, and the staff made us feel welcome. If you’re looking for authentic Indian food in London, this place is a must-visit.

The only small downside is the seating — mostly high chairs without backrests, which may not be the most comfortable for everyone. But overall, it’s a lovely place with great food and a cozy vibe.

Le Petit Beefbar

What a delightful find in Chelsea Green, a Bistro specialising in its namesake ‘Beef’.

Some outstanding dishes were decadently indulged including these fabulous ones; Kobe Frickin’Chicken, Crab Tacos, Sea-bass Scarpetta Sashimi with Passion Fruit, Croque Tuna (OMG insanely good) all as starters to share.

Followed by……The Crying Tiger with New York Strip, Ultimate Smash Cheeseburger with Classic Fries, Jalapeño Mash (don’t judge first try) & a House Green Salad! All lovingly prepared & washed down with a seemingly never ending supply of some seriously addictive & delicious Caipirinhas.

So, the much desired outside seating (yes basically on the road but screened, you know the type, hold on to your phones) has 4 tables. Question, would I sit here again as opposed to being inside? Answer; I’d sit inside. We didn’t experience the inside until the license to be served outside by 10pm was reached, where upon we moooved inside. By which time there were only 3 tables with what I’d call ‘remainder guests or The Hardcore’ and therefore the buzz of a fully booked restaurant was no longer there to be a part of.

Delightful staff, looking after us to ensure allergies were acknowledged, gorgeous bespoke emoji opening plates (yes you need to buy them), food made with love, served beautifully, the serve wear is adorable, we left wanting more of the same on the next visit!

Highly recommend.

Le P’tit Beefbar is a chic spot that delivers on both taste and presentation. I liked the brisket bao — soft, fluffy, and packed with rich, melt-in-your-mouth beef. The crunchy salad was fresh and vibrant, the crab tacos were light yet full of flavour, the hummus avocado is so good and the steak and fries were delicious.
Would come again

Beautifully-decorated steak shop with amazing food, cocktails, and service 🌟!

The wagyu ribeyes was so very soft and juicy, the flavour melts in your mouth 🤤. You will feel like you want to savour every bite. Definitely a must-try.

The burger 🍔 was great too. Good sear, tender, cheesy. It's no steak, but more bang for your buck.

Accompanying their great food is a variety of custom cocktails and mocktails 🍹. Select whatever catch your eyes from their beautifully-crafted menu, and indulge. I had the Don Delgado and the Serenity, both a pleasure to sip 🤌.

Or if red wine is your preferred pairing, there is plenty of that too.

The overall decor of the shop is a highlight on its own. From the interior, to the menu, to the staff dress code. Attentive and artistic. ✨

Overall super recommended for a special occasion 🎁. It's on the high-end for price, but not extortionate, and you get what you pay for.

A very good option for a decent meal while
In the area ,, tucked in a quiet neighborhood in Chelsea ,, the steak cooked with Asian sauce was the best dish ,, some appetizers were just ok ,, overall worth trying

Small venue.
Great service.
Welcoming hosts and waiters are polite, professional, respectful and friendly.

Avocado salad recommend.

Steak frites was great. Meat was quality and tender. However, didn’t like the temperature of the sauce. Was told that if they were to warm it up more, the butter of the sauce would split.

WC needs more attention to detail and wasn’t clean to a high standard.

We do have halal options, including some meat. Please ask a member of staff for details when you visit.

The Madina Grill (TMG)

Ordered on uber eats Chips are over cooked and fillet chicken burger non-existent no chicken in it, Medina sticky wings way too much sauce, wings taste like oil has been there for a month.

Shop forgot to give 4 drinks and one Chips.

Don't order if you want anything decent to eat not worth the money at all.

Uber eats: Didn’t look good, didn’t taste good, it was edible.

That picture is £12.99 of food.

Underrated. We were out cold looking for food. And glad we stumbled into this restaurant. A bit far from our usual location in central however well worth it!! I first had the beef burger with turkey bacon & egg. Juicy beef patty, soo tasty with soft bun. Every single was worth it. Next was spicy lamb bryani, power kick id say.. I thought I couldn’t eat any more by then but that was good. Add on with yogurt with dhal that was served together, spot on.
One of my best halal burger and bryani combo ever. Uuu also the chips with chilli corn carne like was yummy as well. Its got cheese sauce on top. Their spoces were different mild and amazing.

Service was excellent too. Great experience all in all.

Went here today with my wife, I just had to share the experience.

We ordered the Mixed Grill Twist meaty platter along with wings on the side and some chips – and honestly, it was a flavour explosion! Every bite had this perfect smoky char, with a beautiful balance of spices and a subtle but addictive hint of Naga that gave it just the right kick without being overpowering.

The lamb chops were juicy and tender, the chicken was marinated to perfection, and those wings… unreal! Crispy on the outside, succulent inside, and absolutely packed with flavour. Even the chips hit the spot – golden, crispy, and perfect for dipping.

On top of the food, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and you can tell the staff genuinely care about serving quality dishes. It’s rare to find a place where the food feels homely, authentic, and indulgent all at once – but TMG absolutely nailed it.

Honestly, this wasn’t just a meal – it was an experience worth coming back for. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves proper grilled food with bold flavours. I’m already planning my next visit! In sha Allah 🫡

Alhamdulillah 👍

Great restaurant with delicious food, great service and a lovely atmosphere.

The chicken and meat were very juicy and tender and very flavourful. My colleague really loved the chops but I really loved the wings. Sticky wings lives up to its name.

The unfortunate part is that it's ridiculously impossible to find parking as the restaurant is practically on the dual carriageway.

Baraka London

A lovely restaurant with even lovelier food and staff! The manager and waiters were all friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. We got the Goats Cheese with salad as a starter which was delicious, for our mains we got the Baraka Special and the Yogortlu Kofte which were both flavourful and perfectly cooked, and finished with a Baklava for dessert. The atmosphere was great - the perfect place for a business lunch or a quiet date. Looking forward to my next visit!

Pretty good Turkish food. The Centik special was a generous portion and had plenty of flavour. Probably more than I could eat. The tomato juice was quite watery.
Service was prompt and efficient. Both the quietest venue so it was hard to hear across a large table.

I highly recommended the chicken eskinder or whatever it’s called in the grills section. It was absolutely amazing with great outdoor seating, and a fantastic atmosphere, topped with delicious food provided by excellent customer service!!!

Although i assumed lemonade drink would be a fresh lemonade but it was actually just a bottle of sprite with a lemon slice - quite disappointing. Otherwise i would give 5 stars!! Either rename lemonade to sprite or get in a proper lemonade.

Met some old friends here and had some really good starters from a pretty extensive list of hot or cold mezze. Good wine list too and we somehow managed 3 bottles of very nice red. My wife had the moussaka and I had Chicken shish. It was all very tasty and no complaints. Its not cheap but its central London. Has a nice outside area that I bet gets buzzing in summer being so close to Broadgate circle.

This restaurant is exquisitely furnished and decorated and the high expectations you have walking in here are definitely met, thanks to the kind service and the delicious food.

I was blown away by the amount of options on the menu, it was really hard to pick just one item.
I went for the Baraka Special and I was so pleased with how soft and juicy the lamb was. Flavours were bold but beautifully balanced.

I was a little surprised we never got asked how our meal was, but it wasn't necessary as both myself and my friend were very satisfied.

I can't wait to go back and try something else!

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

Beluga Restaurant & Bar

One of the finest Persian restaurants in London! The food is absolutely delicious—authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and full of richness. The service is top-notch, with staff who are attentive, warm, and make you feel truly welcome. A must-visit for anyone who loves Persian cuisine

The Best Persian Restaurant in London.
Every time I am thriving for my mom's cooking, I come her never to disappoint.
Portion was generous, the presentation was excellent, and the flavours were perfect.
Love the seating arrangements and decorations.
Great for friends and family gatherings, and it's still good if you are solo.
Highly recommended.

Food: We ordered the mixed grill for 2, this came with lamb, chicken and rice. The meats were very tasty and the portion of rice given was generous. I have no complaints here.

Atmosphere: it is a cozy restaurant and the decorations are beautiful. It was clean and tidy, and wasn’t too loud.

Service: the waiters were friendly and food came relatively quickly. HOWEVER, and this is where they lose some stars, prices on the menu do not include VAT. I know it states this at the very bottom of the menu, but it is still scummy and not needed, i can only assume the restaurant is hoping customers don’t realise how expensive the food is they’re buying until it’s too late. This is the first time I have ever been to a restaurant that does this.
Secondly, we were not offered this, but the table next to us was offered a 10% discount if they paid with cash. Why were we not offered this? This also screams tax evasion as why would this even be a thing?

Overall: good food, good atmosphere, just bring cash and a calculator with you so you can work out the true menu prices, and get your discount

The best Persian food and restaurant in London. Incredible tasting food with very authentic decorations and absolutely the best service. The appetizers are most try and everything you order from the menu is incredibly delicious and they serve with it their rice with the crispy top and berries. Highly recommend it

Amazing Persian food and great value. There were four of us and the mixed grill for 3 people was massive - we shared that and there was about 20% left to take home. Service from the very smart looking gentleman was nothing short of great - he was super polite and made us feel like we were in his home. The food was the star of the show - the minced lamb and chicken with the fresh herbs and rice is truly amazing... We got there early and we're the only ones there but within an hour, the place was packed with predominantly Persian people so you know this is proper authentic... I am planning my next visit to basically have the exact same things...

American/Middle-eastern inspired favourite comfort foods

O'Gosht

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.

Back to Aura this time trying out their brunch menu which is served everyday. They still working on menu as they just started. But they have loads of egg dishes as well as brunch lunch dishes like burgers, steak and fish and chips. Probably there will be a lot of changes to the brunch menu and also breakfast menu will be added.
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Turkey Breakfast (£14)
🔳 Scrambled Eggs, Salmon & Caviar (£14)
🔳 Aura Pancakes (£11)
🔳 King Prawn (£11)
🔳 Chocolate Soufflé (£9)
🔳 Baklava (£9)
.
The turkey breakfast was excellent. The highlight has to be eggs. These eggs you can tell are excellent quality. A lot of places tend to always use cheap eggs and doesn’t really give any memorable moments. These eggs had creamy and thick texture and taste to it. And for me breakfast dishes are always a winner when you don’t get that oily and greasy feeling afterwards.
.
Prawns were massive and super tasty and fresh. Their pancakes were pretty enjoyable too but I’m not a chocolate person. So probably for someone that loves chocolate. Their soufflé has to be one of the top soufflés as well. As good as many of the french places I’ve had. Super fresh tasting soufflé. Must try
.
All in all good spot for brunch with lovely aesthetics. By the time a lot of ppl visit, the menu probably will change as well as plating as they are doing their finishing work on the brunch and breakfast menu
.
- All Meats Halal
- Alcohol Served In Premises

@halalhunt's review of Aura Loughton on Instagram

@auragrillandbar is a newly opened restaurant and lounge in Essex serving a range of dishes crossing over cuisines.

Here’s what we ordered:
- Korean Skewers
- Beefy bao bun*
- Cala Calamari
- Sirloin Steak*
- Beef Ribs 
- Mac n Cheese*
- Strawberry virgin mojito*
- Summer aura 
- Lotus Cheesecake 
- Chocolate Soufflé*

Overall we enjoyed the visit and the fact that this restaurant caters a bit of everything as opposed to one cuisine. We’ve noted our favourites with *. It is noteworthy to request extra bbq sauce for the beef ribs as it wasn’t as bbq-heavy as we expected it to be.

This restaurant is a good spot for date night or a special occasion. On weekends we recommend visiting before 9pm as it can be quite busy (that’s if you’re looking for a quieter spot). 

Thank you @auragrillandbar

@halalgems's review of Aura Loughton on Instagram

Aura Grill and Bar

The food service was absolutely excellent. The dishes were incredibly delicious truly some of the best I’ve had. The staff members were fantastic, always helpful and attentive, regularly checking in to make sure everything was perfect. A great experience from start to finish!

Harry was great at serving us at the table. He managed our order so well and he even arranged for a nice birthday sparkler for us. Thank you Harry, exceptional service !

We chose Aura Grill and Bar to celebrate our anniversary, and it did not disappoint. The aesthetics were really pretty I loved the theme of purple, black and grey. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a lovely waitress who got us seated in a great spot very quickly. Customer service was amazing our waitress always came over to check if we were good or needed anything. They didn’t come over too much which made it a whole lot better.

For starters we ordered bread and hummus, mini burgers and Bbq Boa buns. I personally don’t like hummus but my partner really enjoyed it. The bread was amazing and whatever seasoning was on the bread was so tasty. The mini burgers were amazing and the Boa buns were the best boa buns I’ve ever tasted.

For mains we ordered a beef burger and chips as well as Beef bbq ribs and mash potatoes, and for the sides we ordered Macaroni and cheese and sweet potato fries. The beef burger was not great to be honest it was tough, dry and very salty. The chips were fine though and the Beef bbq ribs were so nice, it literally fell off the bone. The bbq sauce was amazing and the mash potato and vegetables really made the whole meal. Their Macaroni and cheese is the best restaurant Macaroni and cheese that I’ve tasted, and I’ve tasted 3 different restaurants.

The drinks we ordered were the Summer aura, Strawberry daiquiri, and a Virgin mojito. The summer aura was amazing I had to get it twice, it was full of flavour and I don’t normally have mocktails because there is always something I don’t like in them but this was amazing. It contained strawberries, watermelons, raspberries, mango juice and strawberry purée. I don’t like raspberries so I removed it but it still gave what it needed too. The Strawberry daiquiri tasted way better than I thought and the virgin mojito was decent.

We didn’t ordered dessert as there was nothing we really wanted on the menu and they gave us a cute small piece of pistachio baklava to celebrate our anniversary. Which was nice but extremely sweet, too sweet. But we were very grateful. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

I had a lovely experience at this restaurant today. The food was delicious, I loved that it's also Halal and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, which made it a really relaxing visit. It also wasn’t too busy when we went, so everything felt nice and smooth.

We ordered a few mains:
• Pasta Aura Truffle – super tasty with just the right amount of cheese, and the portion size was great.
• Beefy Rib – the mashed potato was really lovely and comforting, though the meat was a little on the chewy side for me.
• Mixed Shish – tasty and fresh, with a generous amount of salad, which I really appreciated.
•
For drinks, I had a Pina Colada – it had a unique earthy, woody taste. It wasn’t quite what I expected, and I’ve had better pina coladas elsewhere, but it was interesting to try.

Dessert was Sticky Toffee Pudding – the temperature was just right and it wasn’t overly sweet, which I really liked.

A special mention to our server Harry, who was so sweet and attentive throughout our meal.
Definitely a place I’d be happy to visit again!

Came here on a Sunday and got their halal half price roast. Absolutely brilliant- massive home made Yorkshire puddings, fresh and well seasoned veg and me and Mrs got the wagyu beef roast and lamb shank respectively and tried each other's - literally cooked to perfection both times. Best part - kids eat free! Huge portion sizes and they had the roast chicken which was perfectly brown and crispy. Desert sticky toffee pudding great as well. Staff very friendly and accommodating with high chairs and fitting us all around a table. Paid parking available across the road. Other items also available on menu, but recommending the Sunday half price roast. If they added some stuffing in with it, it'd complete it for me. Will come back again.

PocketSquare Skyline Bar & Terrace

We had drinks and my martini was perfect. Music was house techno and a little loud however cool. The views are gorgeous. Staff was nice. Had a high top and just soaked up the atmosphere and London lights at night. Service charge of 12.5 is added which for drinks might be a little high. It was a wonderful time and only an elevator from my room on the 8th floor

The decor is elegant and matches the nice view! The cocktails are surprising but expansive, as the food. Service is great, the staff is nice!

Very friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. The bar food is good. The view from there is amazing.
The only thing I would spot is that we reserved a table outside because they guaranteed there would be blankets available. When we asked for a blanket they said they did not have any available.
Luckily, it was not Crowded and we could move to a table inside.

Anyway, I would definitely recommend this bar and for sure I would be back. Lovely experience.

How convient is that the next venue is just an elevator away ? This was brilliant, didn't need to worry about ordering an Uber, or do citymapping for the direction to the next place.
The first impression is the view and the view is brilliant. Having work in the area for a few year, I would never imagine the view this bar have.

It's a small bar / lounge place so capacitywise it's limited and to be safe book a reservation.
Outdoor seating is minimal but again book in advance.

Being so close to Brick Lane I guess the art inspired design is a homage to the area.  It's trendy, arty and the drinks are good but are bit....

Love that they have a dj playing some house lounge-type music.

Service and the staff were good but the bar was busy so felt sorry for the waiter running around taking orders and serving drinks.

Nice hidden gem in east London! Really cool terrace bar.

Friendly service and very good cocktails.

Went on a sat eve, and a dj playing nice chilled music.

Very cool space, will come back

The food at the bar isn’t halal. However, you can able to pre order ahead of their booking and we can arrange it. A week's notice is sufficient.

Smokin' Grill

I was really excited to try Smokin' Grill this weekend, particularly the lamb as many halal burger restaurants don't seem to have many lamb options. I chose the Mexican lamb burger and was not disappointed! The meat itself was well cooked and seasoned, without competing with the toppings. The jalapeño, salsa, nacho, sour cream, and pineapple all complemented each other - it's obvious care was taken when crafting this menu. The portion size was very generous, and the burger itself was well assembled in a fresh brioche bun and didn't fall apart. To top it all off, the takeaway was stylishly presented in a recylable box.

25.12.21 I've eaten here a few times since my first review (at the restaurant and takeaway) and have tried a variety of dishes - it has always been 5*. Just adding a photo of last night's Mexican lamb burger which was simply incredible!

By far the best take away in the area.
For years now we've needed a take away / restaurant, locally, that you can actually get a decent meal, for a reasonably price.
This place ticks all the boxes for me.
If I could give a 6 I would.
Absolutely brilliant.  Loved it.
We are going to go through the whole menu.
Jon & Sam (clayhall)

Excellent food and service. We tried lamb shawarma which came with fries, salad and naan bread. They also do burgers and steaks. For drinks we ordered Mocktails which were really nice (blueberry flavour 👌🏻) Decor was lovely and has good atmosphere for families. There is plenty of parking

I wanted take away food, but dis not want fried chicken or fish and chips that are next door. Although a sit down restaurant, they kindly prepared the mains to go, and it has to be the best food I he had in ages.
We had the lamb shish with chips, and also the wings with tuce.
I have already recommended to friends

Amazing food, great ambience, and really nice staff. Doesn't feel like you're in clayhall. Will definitely be going back.

Everything on our menu is halal, we do not serve any pork and our restaurant is alcohol free. All our meat is purchased from HMC certified suppliers.

Cocos

Incredible Caribbean Food & Amazing Service!

Had an amazing experience at Cocos in Crystal Palace! I ordered the lobster platter with a side of macaroni and cheese  absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The rest of my group tried the oxtail, curry goat, pork belly, plantain, and scallops  everyone was seriously impressed. We ended on a sweet note with Eton Mess and apple crumble, both of which were rich and satisfying.

The service was excellent throughout – friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The vibe in the restaurant was warm and relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a great evening out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Caribbean flavours and top-notch hospitality!

My partner and I chose Coco's out of the numerous Caribbean restaurants (starting from Sydenham area).

DECOR: 10/10
Firstly, the decor is absolutely classy: ornate gold touches throughout, mixed with a tropical, demure , yet authentic setting. Expect tropical trees within, elegant Black and gold finishes with waiting staff smartly attired.

The toilets are downstairs in a basement, where the level of finish did not stop. I was amazed to be greeted with beautiful gold wash basins, intricate palm tree bag hooks and a very polished finished!

There's also a hidden enclave, with a separate dining area, once again elegantly decorated, a private bar - fitting for a private function of maybe 50 guests. Soo lovely!

FOOD: 10/10
I ordered my favourite Jerk chicken, which was served on a clean and artistry styled almond shaped plate..it came with rice n peas, plantain, coleslaw and salad, with a separate petite jug with jerk sauce to control your level of heat.  The heat was low-mid and soo flavoursome. As a caribbean person,  used to mama's food at home and dined many places , this hit the spot!!

My partner ordered the steak, which arrived on a cooking plate so was sizzling for 10 minutes after it was served!

It's so refreshing to find a Caribbean restaurant that's classy, like other well known restaurants and still provides top notch food! I wish there were more franchises, especially out in the 'shires' too! Well done to Coco's! 🏆

Drinks: 10/10
The rum punch was on point!!

Ambience: 10/10
A delighted surprise that a bottomless brunch was underway, so great lovers rock, rnb was playing amongst a gaggle of happy, beautiful restaurateurs.  I loved the music, made my day!

Service: 9/10
The service was great but a little slow. But I understand new staff were being trained at the time and there was often a gather of staff but no one always watching the diners to see if they needed service.  That being said our newly trained waiter was so polite, courteous and helpful = 10/10🤩

Overall an amazing afternoon date with my darling partner 💕

I am obsessed with these guys. We have been twice this week. Food is AMAZING. Rum punch is insane. Welcome friendly atmosphere. Love love love ❤️

We visited this gem of a restaurant for a wholesome girls’ day out with the family, and it was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. We were seated very quickly, which was such a nice start to the afternoon.

The food? 10/10. Every dish was bursting with flavour and clearly made with love. We all ordered different things and ended up sharing bites across the table. Everything ease delicious.

The music was fantastic, setting the perfect tone for a fun, relaxed afternoon. It added such a great energy to the day.

The whole experience was warm, lively, and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking to spend quality time with loved ones over great food and a vibrant ambiance. We’ll definitely be back! 💕

Enjoyed the hospitality and a warm friendly welcome from the head chef at Coco's on first visit! The decor feels chi chi 🌴✨and the food is also special with french toast, salmon and waffles on offer. Enjoyed a delicious cassava toast, ackee and salt fish combination for brunch. Great local place to meet friends  😉

Cocos Bar & Kitchen

Mediterranean inspired restaurant and lounge

I checked out @no5dining a lovely Turkish-inspired restaurant and lounge in North London. 

The decor is very Instagram-friendly and has a great vibe - I went on a quiet Monday evening and took my bestie out for his birthday.

What We ordered

TRUFFLE CROQUETTES £10.50
SCALLOPS £13.50
OCTOPUS £11.50
FILLET STEAK 270G £42
LAMB SHOULDER £25.50
MAC ‘N’ CHEESE £6.50
Virgin PINA COLADA
Virgin MOJITO
CHOCOLATE BOWL £12

The starters I had were all excellent. 

My favourite dish was the Crispy truffle croquettes - filled with truffle, mushrooms,  onions and bechamel sauce, coated in a crispy and light bread crumb roll - this was so good i ordered it twice - A MUST ORDER

The scallops were very good as to the octopus which had a delicious charred taste. (note octopus might not be permissible under certain schools of Islamic thought) 

I got the fillet steak, it was cooked more towards medium than the requested medium rare, it didn't have a deep flavour profile, I've definitely had better. I think the Kitchen rested it for too long, by the time it got to me the temperature wasn't hot. It was also served with Macadamia paste, beetroot purée and quinoa which really was a strange combination that didn't work, but it did come with chips. 

My mate got the lamb shoulder, 14 hour slow-cooked lamb moulded in 2 discs on the plated served on carrot puree, I found it just okay, I expected a richer level of flavours.

For desserts, we moved to the stylish lounge area, where we shared a Chocolate bowl a fun dessert that's dropped onto the table; inside the bowl, you'll find loads of sweet treats like brownies, ice cream, macaroons, strawberries and toffee cake served with warm white chocolate poured on top. I found it too sweet for me, 2 of us couldn't finish it. 

This spot would be ideal for a special occasion, girl's night out or date night with live entertainment from Friday to Sunday. Kids under 12 not permitted. The starters were fantastic but the mains I had were a little average. The drinks were very balanced and well made.

I thought it was gonna be one of those places where the decor is the priority over food, but I was wrong!

@halalfoodguy's review of No.5 Hornsey on Instagram

Are lounge restaurants more STYLE over SUBSTANCE?

I have to say @no5dining actually has both style and substance.

For a special occasion we visited @no5dining and have to admit the food was stunning.

Has to be one of the best Wagyu steaks I've had this year. Seasoned to perfection and prepared to a mouth-watering medium rare. It was so good.

We had the following:
Octopus £11.50
Sweet Chilli Boneless Chicken Wings £10.50
Wagyu Ribeye Steak £69.00
Sirloin Steak £35.00
Mac n Cheese £6.50
Chocolate Bowl £12.00
Lemon Tart £8.50

The venue is huge, with a modern and stylish decor.

My only critique is that the Mocktails are limited and not very memorable.

Apart from that, @no5dining is a great option if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion.

No5 Dining & Lounge

I really enjoyed my dinner and lounge experience at No 5. The staff is friendly and attentive, especially Mus who served us. The food was delicious. I really liked the mushroom pasta and our ice dream dessert came with sparklers, which added a nice touch. There were also dancers in the venue and they brought a great vibe. The shisha was also very good! Overall a fantastic evening with my friend, I would definitely come back for a dinner there.

Had an amazing night at No5 with a friend! From the moment we arrived, the experience was top-tier. We were served by Simona, who was warm, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly.

The food was both delicious and beautifully presented. The croquettes were incredibly gentle and honestly the best I’ve ever had (definitely would recommend it for a starter). The octopus dish looked like a piece of art and tasted just as good. We also had ribeye steaks with creamy mash, sweet potato fries, broccoli, and grilled corn - everything was full of flavour and cooked perfectly.

We also ordered a passion fruit mousse, which arrived surrounded by clouds of dry ice and topped with a sparkler.

The interior is stunning and has many great spots for taking photos, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

We also found out they have live shows and a shisha lounge, which we’re definitely coming back to check out.

It’s totally a great place for celebrating something special or just a romantic evening.

Highly recommend, and a huge thanks to Simona for making the night so special!

My sister decided to book a table at NO5 dining for my birthday, as the booked she requested for the round table, unfortunately she was told that the table was already booked, however when we arrived at the venue the front lady made it happen! We got the round table that was requested. We also didn’t have to wait long at all and had an amazing experience at the place!

The staff are really friendly and attentive, we were served by Simona and she was an absolute gem! 💎
The service was seriously 10/10 and I am so glad that I got to celebrate my birthday here, because everything was seriously perfect!

The food was cooked to perfection, and not only does it look well presented and nice, it also tasted delicious! Can’t fault anything to be honest… it was seriously that good!

Will definently be coming back here again! :)

Our experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The food was amazing and the entertainment kept us engaged and smiling the entire time. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave! Everything was truly a 10 out of 10. A special mention goes to Magi, who really stood out. She was constantly smiling, incredibly attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our visit. Her energy and kindness added something extra special to an already fantastic experience.
Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!

No.5 has quickly become one of my favorite places to unwind. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in. The lighting and music create the perfect backdrop whether you’re there for dinner, drinks, or a night out with friends.

The food is outstanding — every dish feels carefully crafted and full of flavor. Portions are generous without losing that fine-dining touch, and the presentation makes everything feel special. The drinks menu is just as impressive, with cocktails that are unique, refreshing, and clearly made with skill.

What makes the experience even better is the staff. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, they make you feel like more than just a customer. It’s the kind of service that keeps you wanting to come back.

Overall, No.5 isn’t just a restaurant and lounge — it’s an experience. Perfect for date nights, celebrations, or simply treating yourself to a great evening.

Tetto’s

Tetto's Highbury New Park

Excellent service and scrumptious food. The steaks were done perfectly as you can see from the pics, the difference between a Medium and a Medium Rare. The mocktails were perfect, not too sweet, just right. The restaurant was squeaky clean and the staff were friendly and attentive.
Thank you Tetto's we will visit again and recommend it to friends and family.

The decoration and vibes of this place was outstanding. The customer service of staff is exceptional. This is truly a fine dining place with staff that treat you as if you are VIP.
Then the food itself is cooked to perfection and every detail is considered whilst making your food. We were a group of 4 and 3 had steaks and 1 had pasta. The quality of the meats was high and the buttery steaks were delicious. The lobster pasta again was cooked with a wide range of flavours and was very filling.
The portions are very generous with great presentation and it was difficult to even find space to have dessert. The vibes and hospitality was really amazing and highly recommend this place to everyone! The restaurant is very big and bright with lovely natural sunlight.

Great Restaurant! As soon as you walk in, the decor is absolutely beautiful and the staff are friendly. Service is good and the food is great! Slightly on the pricier side, but you get a lot for your money as the portions are generous. The set menus are great value and there are delicious options. Staff are very accommodating to your needs, would definitely recommend this place ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Apart from the seating mix up. . . Our visit was deffo a very good vibe !

The food was delicious ! I had prawns for starter and the seafood tagliatelle for my main , was too stuffed for a desert.

The prawns were cooked to perfection , fresh and had a perfect bite to them. My friend were laughing because it left me with oil on my chin.

My main - the pasta was also cooked perfectly. And the flavour was so fresh and light. The bowl looks small but it’s a perfect portion.

The vibe was great , my friend who was the birthday girl was teased by the staff members as he served the steak to her , we all had a laugh.

We had an evening meal and were seated downstairs, it was boilllling (well I was boiling) so maybe I’ll wear a bikini next time.

Never the less, overall it was a really good time

A family visit to Tettos just rocked up and managed to get seating.  Nice place, friendly and attentive staff.  A busy place which shows how popular the place is.  The food was great, burgers 🍔 and fries for the kids.  Pasta dishes for the adults, lovely food all round.  Non alcoholic cocktails 🍹 to accompany the meal.  Service charges are added to the final bill.

I would like to try the steaks next time hopefully, there is a wide range to choose from Yum Yum 😋.

Noa Lounge

We visited Noa Restaurant & Shisha Lounge and had a mixed experience overall. For starters, we ordered the chicken bao buns (£11) and chicken tacos (£9). Both were tasty, but the bao buns were definitely the highlight—soft, flavorful, and well put together.

For sides, we shared the loaded chips (£9), which we both really loved—crispy, well-seasoned, and probably the best part of the meal.

For mains, we tried the Naga chicken fry with rice (£17.50) and the teriyaki chicken noodles (£17). The portions were generous and the dishes were decent, but the flavors leaned a little too heavy, making them feel quite rich and overwhelming after a few bites.

For drinks, we had a Nutty Professor mocktail (£12.90) along with two cokes. The mocktail looked fun but unfortunately didn’t live up to the price tag—it tasted quite underwhelming compared to expectations.

On a brighter note, our waiter was really good—friendly, attentive, and made the experience smoother.

Overall, the food was enjoyable in parts (starters and loaded fries especially), but some dishes felt overly rich and the drinks didn’t impress. Service was great, though. Not a bad spot, but not quite a standout either.

Had the most amazing time here at Noa, from the music to the food to the most receptive staff. Super thankful for Kyboo . Mishka . Bk . And Rabbi, perfect host . We even got Shisha and a beer on the house . Definitely worth every money spent . Will be back . Thank you Noa

Amazing service and extremely delicious food.
They were so accommodating as we drop in last minute for iftar.
Had to rave about to all my family as it’s something that everyone needs to experience. Already booked to go again with the family this week.

We've ordered from here a few times before and normally the food is ok but this time it was very poor quality, bao bun basically didn't have chicken in it and felt like we was just eating the coating and veg, also seems like the recipe of these change every time.
God knows why this time they left the tails on the shrimp of the honey rice and shrimp and the veg they put in with the honey shrimp included broccoli leaves and over cooked broccoli that I couldn't chew. Everything felt lazy and thrown together and has just really put us off from ordering from here ever again.

Lovely atmosphere! Food was amazing. Shisha had good flavours. Kumar was very attentive and even gave us complimentary tea. Definitely recommend!!

Was staying at the hotel, it’s so nice having suck a nice restaurant so close. Food was Exceptional, Service was Amazing and the server actually even gave me a cool spot to go get drinks walking distance! If coming to London again definitely coming back

It’s a MUST if you’re staying in the area and absolutely worth the trip if you are not. The view is second to none, but that’s not what makes this restaurant great. Their food does. I had the tasting menu with a wine pairing. Every plate was delicious and creative. The cocktail at the bar after dinner was spot on. Will definitely go again!

Didn't know what to expect of a restaurant in a hotel...but it was really worthwhile! The restaurant is on the lower of the 3 top floors (with the top being a mediocre rooftop bar, and the middle floor being a mix of food/bar) - strongly recommend to go with the set menu in the restaurant on floor 37, nice window seat, and view over London during sunset. Impeccable service, well curated food, fair prices for the setting.

Absolutely marvellous Food; the flavour, the texture, the vibrant tones in every dish as if it were a theme.

Waiters and Waitresses were all so kind to my child, being accommodating to us as a family and helping whenever they can.

At first I was sceptical about the size of some of the portions provided but the quality of flavours were so palatable whilst the food was filling my mouth with ecstatic power; I have travelled to many cities around the world to eat at many fine dining establishments, but none have ever made me so pleased with the food as BOKAN 37 the Chef and Team really nailed this idea of mixing Eastern European and Mediterranean into their own signature style dishes.

My favourite Restaurant in London.

An incredible hidden gem, tucked away from the crowds.
I was truly impressed by the view from the terrace and windows – the whole of London opens up before you.
I really regret not bringing my camera.
The food is excellent, and the evening atmosphere feels like you're somewhere far from London.

We do serve halal but it has be pre-ordered 48 hours prior and prepaid in advanced. We only do chicken breast and obviously the vegetarian and fish.

Beirut Nights

Refined rooftop spot offering panoramic views of the city

Radio Rooftop

This a lovely rooftop bar provide a magnificent scenery of the city views . It is a great place to hang out with friends. The music atmosphere is also good. Love the music vibes. The price is reasonable too. Definitely worth a visit.

It’s definitely a good-looking spot — the views are great, the vibe is lively, and it feels like a place where something’s happening. Perfect for a sunny evening or a city date night.
That said, I expected a bit more. The drinks were decent, but nothing memorable. Service was fine, just not as polished as you'd hope for somewhere with that kind of setting and price tag.

A phenomenal rooftop restaurant to visit in London.

A great view and I just had an old fashioned. A very relaxed but high end interior with a phenomenal view of the city.

I’d definitely come back here again and try their other menu items.

Ordered a overpriced cocktail that was not very good in flavour. It also had an useless ornamental pink colouring that would only make your hands dirty. Views are ok but there are other rooftops with a better price - value proposition and a more enjoyable music.

We were staying at ME London and enjoyed the rooftop bar.  Service was exceptional and cocktails were delicious.  We had Venu every time.   We went when we checked in and always end our night here after exploring the city.
Check this place out when in London.
