Solis

I’ve been to Solis  around four times now, and it never disappoints. Every single visit has been consistently amazing, which says a lot about the quality of this place. Honestly, it’s the best steak I’ve ever tried  perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and always tender and juicy.

What really stands out is the consistency. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers the same high standard every time, but Solis does exactly that. From the quality of the meat to the presentation and service, everything feels premium and well thought out.

If you’re a steak lover, Solis is a must visit. I can confidently say it’s my go to place for steak, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.

Went here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. On the reservation form (although I think they accept wallk-ins), i have indicated it's for a female birthday, I thought there would be something for her but at least the staff greeted her. ☺️

We both ordered Steak Bocadillo, fritas, limonada, and an ice cream sundae. The Steak Bocadillo was filling although I wouldn't recommend it if you are really hungry. I wish the  limonada had less ice. The sundae has loads of cream and a small portion of the ice cream but enough to just clean the palatte. I believe the price is reasonable, too.

The ambiance reminds me of turo-turo in the Philippines, and the table cover looks like something a turo-turo table would be covered with back home. It was really nice and very inviting.

The staff were halpful though I wish they smiled more although I saw them engaging with other customers so maybe they are nice.

Overall, we ate, paid then left. Not much of a memorable experience but maybe others had a blast. x

I recently dined at Solis and had a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was Amazing, and we were quickly seated despite the place becoming busy later on. The service was prompt, and our server was on top of things.

The food, of course, was the star of the show - tasty and delicious, if not amazing. I had the steak and chips with sauce, and it did not disappoint! The Fanta in a classic glass bottle with an orange segment was a refreshing touch.

The price was reasonable, and I thought the service charge was worth it - the staff were so welcoming and friendly, it felt like we were in good hands. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Solis for a great dining experience! Value for money, and the atmosphere was spot on. Well done, Solis!

My friend and I had lunch together, and the food was absolutely delicious. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the waiter who made us feel very comfortable and kindly recommended the dessert. We wish we had the opportunity to know her name. Definitely coming back again

Had a fantastic meal at Solis! The food was comforting, generous, and full of flavour. The steak sandwich was the standout — tender, well-seasoned meat packed into a soft roll, with fresh greens that added a nice balance. The fries were crisp and perfectly salted, and the corn with the creamy topping was rich and delicious.

For dessert, the sundae-style treat topped with whipped cream, crispy flakes, and a cherry was simple but really satisfying — the perfect sweet finish to the meal.

relaxed vibe made everything feel cosy and welcoming. Great food, great portions, and a place I’d happily return to.

The Tamil Prince

Have to make a reservation in advance as this place is popular! They have limited indoor table seating and have additional counter seating which I didnt mind and actually preferred. The decor and atmosphere is nice and cozy even if a little dark. The dining area is small but the small bar is cute. You get a warm welcome and great friendly service here, everything is explained to you, wait staff are attentive plus patient and that alone would bring me back.

The menu is not extensive but the food is delicious! The food came oit piping hot and fresh with no long waits. The Okra Fries and King Prawn Curry leaf dish was the highlight for me! So moreish and reminding me of my family elders cooking from my childhood. It was like that end scene from Ratatouille 😊 The paneer Masala was tasty and creamy, the lamb curry had nice chunks of meat, the coconut rice fluffy and flavoursome with decent portion sizes. Only downside for me personally was the chicken lollipop was a little dry and maybe a little pot of curry gravy would have gone well with it 🤔 The Mango Lassi was delicious and I loved having the Gulab Jamen warm.

Highly recommend a visit and I'm scheduling in a time to come back for the Sunday Roast I've heard so much about!

Tamil Prince was hands down my favorite restaurant from my entire UK trip. I first heard about it from a friend after his visit, and based on how quickly it books up, I made a reservation almost a month in advance. Totally worth it.

The restaurant is small, cozy, and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, which adds to the charm. The food was outstanding. We tried the okra fries, fizzy lemon soda, shrimp curry, chicken masala, coconut rice, and the parotta. The parotta was easily the fluffiest I’ve ever had.

The service was great too. Our waitress recommended the gulab jamun, and I’m so glad she did. It was incredible, easily the best jamun I’ve had in a long time, and honestly better than anything I’ve tasted in the US.

This place completely lived up to the hype. I’ve already started recommending it to friends, and anytime someone mentions a London trip, this is the restaurant I tell them about. If I’m back in London, Tamil Prince will absolutely be one of my first stops.

Absolutely amazed. Great vibes, great food. Lovely selection of cocktails. There’s no doubt their food is excellent, but the best thing about the Tamil prince was the staff. All of them so polite and friendly, they were happy to be there and you could see it. Would 10/10 recommend.

We were quickly seated as walk in at the counter. Service was great with quick explanations on what they’re known for for, what they recommend, etc. Food was brought out quickly and was amazing. The depth of flavour, the flakiness of the channa, the balance of sweet and sour in the laksa… would come back again!

Amazing place. The coolest vibes, great atmosphere, food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. Nice range of dishes on the menu, veggie options too. Also had some wonderful cocktails. Our servers Andrea and Siva were perfect, fun and knowledgeable and kept us super happy.

Le Petit Beefbar

Really appreciated that halal options are available, which made dining here much easier.

The signature steak frites were cooked perfectly and full of flavour. We also tried the crab sandos, which were fresh and delicious, and finished with the French toast, which was excellent and not overly sweet.

The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, service was attentive, and overall the quality of food was very high. Would definitely recommend

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for making my 40th birthday lunch so amazing. From the food to the service, we honestly couldn't fault a thing. We would recommend anyone considering dining with you and we will definitely return. We would also like to thank you for entertaining our son and his pasta dish!

Amazing experience! The staff is very attentive and friendly and knowledgeable. The quality of the food is superb and the decoration is very nice, from the designed plates to the overall decor. The portions are generous in general. Highly recommended!!!

Food is top class. The steak frites was amazing and the starters were tasty. But the service is average. Chaotic and rushed. Tables are cramped in a small place and they put all the guests in one area, instead of spreading us out across the restaurant

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.

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

The Madina Grill (TMG)

Great food, we called and booked our seats and also made our order over the phone so once we got their the food was served straight away, great customer service.
Downstairs seating good for large groups.

Really cheap place and incredible service, but the dishes are inconsistent.

Doner box (£7.99) Absolutely delicious, one of the best doner kebabs I've ever had, fries were nice and the wings were spicy and sweet.

Steak Box (£12.99) I have had this twice. First time around, I was blown away - well done and still so tender? No way. So I got it a second time, still well done. It was NOT tender at all, but was more juicier, so I guess it depends on the day.

Hot Dog (£4.99 but a pound more with Mince Meat) I had to eat this with utensils because the hot dog bun had already collapsed. The mince meat goes so well, the cheese sauce is lovely and the onions gave it a nice crunch. Sausage itself was mid tho.

Seen a lot of reviews saying not to order it via Uber Eats so will not be doing that.

Definitely one of the most bang for buck places I've eaten at so far.

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.

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.

Had a delivery of mix grill. Quick delivery and hot food. Chicken tikkas were nice but lamb not so much (not tender). Lamp chops were very nice. Nan was the worst part, not freshly made but off the market and reheated. Please improve your nan and make lamb tender.

The food was delicious and tender. We enjoyed it and it was tasty and the waiters were very welcoming. The atmosphere of the place was fantastic with lovely outdoor setting.
My experience with Turkish restaurants is that the portions are large; this wasn’t as large.
Also, no bread was brought while awaiting the mains.

Came for our birthday celebration lunch and I couldn’t have asked for more. Amazing service, food, drinks and ambience. The restaurant was beautiful and all staff welcoming and hospitable. Thank you to our wonderful waiter for looking after us so well. Fantastic dining experience!

Food was really good. I had the calamari and the chef’s special spicy chicken—both were flavorful and cooked perfectly.

The staff were amazing, and the ambiance wa

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.

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!

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

Beluga Restaurant & Bar

Had a great evening at Beluga Restaurant & Bar! Everything was outstanding from start to finish.

The food was absolutely delicious: perfectly grilled kebabs (the lamb chops and chenjeh were melt-in-the-mouth tender), fragrant rice, flavour-packed stews, and the most beautiful selection of fresh mezze. The saffron ice cream with pistachio to finish was pure heaven. Every dish felt authentic, generous, and made with real love and skill.
Service was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, thank you for such a great night!

What a grand restaurant with truly lavish interior design that creates a wonderful atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing, packed with flavors that delight the palate. The generous portions are a pleasant surprise, offering excellent value. It's a truly memorable dining experience. If you are looking  for an elegant restaurant for a special celebration, this venue is a strong contender. The ambiance is refined, creating a sophisticated atmosphere of Middle East.
The service is attentive and professional, ensuring a seamless and memorable occasion. It is indeed a remarkable choice for those desiring a touch of luxury and distinction.

From the moment I walked in, the service at the restaurant was exceptional. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional — especially Arazoo, whose service was truly impressive. She made the entire experience feel personal, smooth, and extremely comfortable.

The food was excellent; every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and exceeded my expectations. For a first visit, I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere.

Everything was perfect — but the prices are quite high. Still, the quality and the service made the visit worthwhile.

I can confidently say this will not be my last time here. I’m definitely coming back regularly.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for great service, delicious food, and a warm dining experience.

Many thanks to my friend who recommended this place for dinner in the windy cold London evening.

High class interiors reminds you of the great palaces of Persia  Food is authentic, delicious and makes you feel at home. Friendly staff and customers 👏🏻👏🏻 which is a difficult combination for find.

When you want to enjoy your evening after a stroll at Holland park this is where you should go to

The food is decent and the portions are generous. Their pomegranate red wine was also delicious. However, it’s quite strange that the prices don’t include VAT!!! many people may not notice the small print at the bottom of the menu that states “ they will add 20% VAT to the price of the food”. Prices definitely on a higher side.
Service is average, and the staff aren’t very attentive. They also asked us, as well as other customers, to pay in cash so they could deduct some of the VAT, which felt unprofessional and inappropriate.

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.

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!

Paid £29 for steak and chicken with chips and mac and cheese. The amount of meat was tiny and defo not worth the money paid, food was nice but very small portion.

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 restaurant was clean, hygienic, tidy, comfortable, vibrant, sleek, modern, unique, bright, huge, spacious and elegant which is perfect if you want something special arrange like anniversary, engagement party, birthday party, Christmas party, New Year’s Eve party and New Year’s party. The staff were friendly, welcoming, respectful, polite, organised, well mannered, professional, understanding, sociable, knowledgeable , helpful and supportive. The food was well presented, colourful, great, delicious, mouthwatering, memorable, tasty although my friend said the portions were small and the asparagus was hard that is something she didn’t like but the my friend and I enjoyed non alcoholic cocktail very much in this restaurant. The price was over £60.00 which includes the service charge something I didn’t like at all but I guess some places do it as well, it is not just this place. If you want to make your day to remembered by your special person in your life then come here because it will be the best for special day.

Came to Aura for my birthday. Overall the experience was amazing. However food did disappoint- I was told the bone marrow was steamed overnight however it was pink and I haven’t had it before like this. Steak was okay and chips were okay. Entertainment was great but food wasn’t that great.

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!

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.

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 !

PocketSquare Skyline Bar & Terrace

Me and my husband had a lovely time for our date night. This was our first time going to Pocketsquare Skyline. As soon as we arrived, it was such a nice chilled vibe. Live DJ for entertainment. The food was great and the customer service was amazing especially from Rylan. He made our experience worth going back.

Would highly recommend

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

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.

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!

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.

Smokin Grill

Cocos

Great overall setting for a meeting of friends with quite a lot of years on the clock. First impression was great as Michel our host for the night pointed out the safest parking spot away from the danger of tickets. Then it was over to the drinks which although non alcoholic were delicious. I highly recommend the sorrel and ginger beer. On the menu was a diverse selection of meals and my chosen pork belly with rice and peas did not disappoint. Thank you Coco’s for making a special evening great. Hats off to to the staff.

This is the second time I've come and I've not been let down. My wife and I were served by Isaac and we had a great time with amazing cocktails and fantastic food. The vibe is wonderful and we'll definitely be back!

Cocos is classy, warm, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The food was authentic and full of flavor—my kids even cleaned their plates in record time! The apple crumble was the perfect finish. Highly recommend!

Lovely decor, welcoming ambience and generally a good vibe. Friendly staff, and quite a broad menu of food and drink.

Although seems a little overpriced..3 full meals,  3 alcoholic and 1 non alcoholic cocktail costing £147.00

The meals were ok, however I found the pork belly tasteless and swimming in sauce, and the dauphinoise potatoes were dry and had no sauce. The salmon and jerk chicken dishes were nice and portions were ok. The meals took approx 90minutes to arrive and were tepid, missing sides or served with alternative sides - 'sweet potato/potatoe mix up' without  being given a choice or asking whether we had allergies.

We had a lot of back and forthing to reheat dishes, request cutlery and condiments.  Unfortunately we were not offered an apology or compensation, but upon requesting it and after they had a 'mini team meeting' to discuss it, we recieved an apology, 4 free shots, and had 1 full meal removed from the bill which would have cost approx £26 in addition.

Seems they lack any proper waiter/waitress experience and need an experienced waiter to oversee and run things.

Positively, they have a lovely lady singing live renditions of reggae and soul (albeit a little too loudly as we couldn't hear ourselves speaking) and have different offers on everyday of the week including 2 for 1 cocktails.

Seems booking and walks were welcome on a Friday night.
Its centrally located and easily accessible by bus and train. Some free parking nearby in the evening but is quite limited.

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!

All Meats & Poultry supplied from COCOS  is prepared by our Halal certified butchers.

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!

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

First time visiting.

Sal was our waiter and he was absolutely lovely and very attentive.

He brought over a birthday treat as a surprise...Thank you.

The food is delicious and the passion fruit martini is on point.

Definitely would recommend 👌🏽

Came for our Christmas night out. Had to wait slightly for our table due to the previous people not wanting to leave after having such a great time. But the staff did their best to keep us cheerful Sab looked after us all night - nothing was too much her service was second to none! She saved the night! The entertainment was great the whole of our party were up dancing by the end of the night!

This restaurant was by far one of the best I have ever experienced. The service was impeccable, the food was very filling for a reasonable price and the atmosphere was extremely cozy. The overall experience was a 10/10, I am very happy with this restaurant! Amazing servers, amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing vibe! Keep it up. Special shout out to Alfia, the best server! Love you bubs x

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.

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!

Tetto's Highbury New Park

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

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 😋.

Burgers, wings and grilled meats served in an airy diner with contemporary decor

Noa Lounge

We visited on a Sunday and had an absolutely great time, the food was so delicious (dynamite prawns and chilli cheese toast), the drinks (white peach and cherry) were great and we weren’t going to get the deserts but the waiter suggested bread and butter pudding which did not disappoint (despite being in food coma). The staff were so lovely especially the manager Kumar who went out his way to ensure the chef creates vegetarian alternatives to some of the meat dishes. We will definitely be back soon

Bivon and Abhi’s service was amazing! All the workers were so kind and helpful. The food was lovely, will definitely be returning. They were very accommodating and kind and made sure to cater towards allergies also. The ambiance was a 10/10 and the atmosphere was great! Thank you for such an amazing meal, made my mums birthday the absolute best!

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.

Wow the service was AMAZING.
Kumar was our host and he catered to us IMMENSELY!

The service was fast, food tasted amazing and the shisha was TOP NOTCH 🔥🔥🔥

10/10 service at NOA

I loved this place so much lovely food, came out so quick fresh and hot. Everything was 10/10 service was great and so was shisha. The vibe is so cute love the dim lights and the music selection

BOKAN 37

We had such a lovely time here. The view is genuinely amazing. One of those places where you just want to sit and stay a bit longer. Cocktails were spot on, beautifully balanced, and the staff couldn’t be nicer: warm, attentive and easygoing.
We enjoyed absolutely everything. Definitely recommend.

Was told this was a brunch place but it is not. Food was nice in general but the menu was not too big and quite elaborate with no alternatives for younger visitors. Ambiance was stuck up, waiters were the same and even though I was sitting by the window I didn't enjoy the view but the buildings across the street.  All accompanied by a pricy ticket.
I dont recommend this place.

The view over London is absolutely stunning, and the service is friendly and attentive. However, the food doesn’t quite live up to expectations, especially considering the prices. Great spot for drinks, but I’d skip the meal.

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.

The best terrace in Canary Wharf!
The staff is very polite and welcoming.
We came around 18:30 on Friday without the reservation, there were a few tables available, which was a great surprise for me, as the weather was amazing that evening. Obviously, at approximately 20:00 the patio was already full!
Thanks a lot!

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.

Went here for the first time on 26 Sept, I’m just traveling into London : so my first time at this rooftop. I loveee this rooftop for its stunning view, food was not bad at all, drinks were good. The only part that made the experience not great was the unfriendly waiter who was impatient in general from the order taking. And we ordered so many drinks till their last call before the kitchen and bar closes.  After our drinks arrived I just needed abit more time to finish them. But this same waiter was so impatient and literally forced us out that I had to down the drink. Also saw a rat running around in the bar at their closing time: wasn’t a big deal for us but the attitude of this waiter really made the experience sour. I would go again as I’m sure there would be a nicer waiter.

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.

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.
