@halalfoodguy's review of Rabbit Hole Cafe Holloway on Instagram

All-day breakfast from @rabbithole_cafe is always a good idea ~ always a consistently delicious meal here 🎯
Went for the Fluffy Bunny (£12.50) - breakfast & pancakes all in one! Opted for fried eggs as I’m not a massive scrambled-egg-person. My fav thing about their breakfast is how good their meat is ~ at Halal breakfast spots I find that the halal sausage & bacon is just really tough and not enjoyable, but Rabbit Hole Cafe have mastered the Halal breakfast 👏🏽
They’ve added some new items to their menu & changed up a few of their existing specialities. Speedy service, delicious food & good prices!
Plus they always support our annual charity cookbook ❤️, another reason for you to go support them if you didn’t have enough reasons already!

Rabbit Hole Cafe

The coffee was nice. The lamb roast wasn’t great, very chewy and potatoes and Yorkshire was very oily. The strawberry tart was delicious and staff were really friendly and welcoming.

Cute cafe, very fairytale/Alice in Wonderlandlike hence the name. Plenty space, nice menu and good price, service slow but food was great! Nice place for a halal brunch and catch-up.

We really enjoyed our brunch there the service was top notch and the food was served hot and fresh you can even see the Chef cooking !Bonus  it’s halal

Amazing food. Always fresh, tasty and consistently good. The waitresses are always very friendly. Highly recommend :)

We stayed round the corner from here on a 4 day trip to London. Came here every day for breakfast. Food was delicious, service is amazing, atmosphere is beautiful and Decor is stunning. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back if staying nearby again.

Everything is Halal. No pork or alcohol served.

Belgique Wanstead Cafe

Amina served us food with a big smile😊 and kindness. The food was fresh and delicious😋. We felt very comfortable, peaceful environment. Linda's final touche was fantastic.

I visited this place a few years ago and had the most amazing all day vegan breakfast. However, today I was served an extremely poor substitute. I could have cooked and presented better at home. It was extremely overpriced for the cheap ingredients on the plate. I had to wait a good while to be served too. I won't be returning.

Not nice at all. The chicken i bought was undercooked to the point it was hard and chewy. The jacket potato had no taste. The baked beans also had no taste. There were little fruit flies flying around. The french toast was terrible. The cutlery was dirty. I would never go there again.

I had brought a fresh cream gateaux today for the first time from here and it was terrible. There was liquid dripping from the base of the cake which was something very weird from the cake. Once it was cut open in front of the family and friends, it was soggy and sponge had collapsed from soaking up all the liquid if the syrup coated whole fruits that was inside. It was embarrassing, and was thrown in the bin. Really not worth the £36 that I had paid.
I am not sure those working there know what was inside the cake. If they did, this kind of cake was certainly not made fresh and had been sitting there for a few day at least. This kind of cake cannot be shelved for more than 6 hours or if it was frozen, defrosting it for sale during the day is also not right. I know I won't get a response or a refund for this. Just be aware for those who will choose to buy a cake from there in the future. I certainly will not.

Just visited for breakfast, food was okay. The cappuccino had a burnt taste, when this was brought up with the staff they weren’t willing to take on the feedback and was just plain rude. We could also not drink the Cortado as it was more milk than coffee even with a double shot! Staff was not willing to accept responsibility - won’t be coming back.

Parker's Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel, London

Had a lovely lunch at Parker’s in Knightsbridge with my sister. The manager, Zakir, truly made the experience stand out he greeted us warmly, ensured we were comfortable, and was so attentive throughout. He helped us with menu suggestions and was quick with the service, making us feel really taken care of.

We started with two mojitos, a passion fruit and a strawberry both super refreshing. For starters, we ordered the Spicy Toffee Shrimp and Crispy Calamari, which were flavorful and perfectly cooked. For mains, we had Steak and Fries, Lime Hot Sauce Pasta, and Lemon Chicken, along with street fries on the side. Every dish was well-presented and delicious.

To finish, we shared two desserts: the Matilda Cake and the Pull Me sponge cake with ice cream, both were absolutely indulgent. Overall, the food, the ambiance, and especially Zakir’s excellent service made it a memorable meal. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience at Parker’s in London! Phoebe and Priscilla were our servers, and they were absolutely fantastic, super friendly, energetic, and made us feel right at home. Their service really stood out and added something special to the evening. The food was also incredible,  every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vibes, great people, and even better food!

My husband and I had such a lovely breakfast at Parker’s. The food was delicious, but what made it truly special was the kindness and warmth of the staff. Everyone welcomed us with smiles, and their pleasant energy made us feel at home. After breakfast, we were even surprised with a complimentary cake – such a thoughtful gesture that really touched our hearts. The person who served us was so genuine and kind, it made our morning unforgettable. Thank you for such a beautiful experience – we left with big smiles and happy hearts!

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was quick, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Although the indoor AC wasn’t working, the team handled it efficiently by offering us a comfortable spot outdoors.

Overall, a great experience, would definitely return!

Honest to God, this was the best restaurant me and my wife went to. I cannot believe how delicious everything was. And the presentation and the service was excellent. The reason we came out was because everything on the menu was halal. So there was no chance of cross contamination like most restaurants commit in london. We were going Harrods and needed a place to eat. We came here after a recommendation in the afternoon. The food was so brilliant, we came again in the evening just before we left.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I immensely appreciate my waiter that day Rahul. Who very much looked after me and was completely friendly.

Next time I go Harrods again, I will not consider any other restaurant apart from this one. Due to the exceptional food taste and accommodation it does for muslims without any cross contamination. It is a no brainer and best restaurant in the knightsbridge area for me and my wife.

Parker's

Granger and Co. Notting Hill

Queue moved quickly and great service.

Nice cocktails and lattes. Unfortunately we'd just missed the brunch menu. Ordered the avocado with poached egg on toast which was really well made but simple.

I had a wonderful breakfast experience at this lovely restaurant. The service was so warm and welcoming ♥️ it truly made my morning. The poached egg was absolutely the most delicious I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The pancakes were something special too, so unique and unlike any I’ve tried before. A perfect spot to start the day with a smile ♥️

Granger & Co. had a calm, welcoming vibe and delivered across the board. The prawn linguine was clean, simple, and full of flavour — no overcomplication, just done right. The chicken starter was crisp, tender, and disappeared fast. But the star of the meal was the roast stone bass — perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned.
Service was friendly without being pushy, and the whole experience felt easy and well put together. Would definitely return.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in London, especially this beautiful Notting Hill branch. The vibes are unmatched. The staff are always so nice and lovely. The food is so yummy, the coffee is good and the pancakes are on another level here. Get the pancakes 😉
Highly Recommended 👍🏼

The lightest pancakes I have ever tried 😍😍 So delicious and sweet, I’ve also enjoyed their long black balances everything out.
And the avocados are perfectly ripe 👌🏼

All of our chicken is Halal. This includes our chicken schnitzel and the roast chicken salad.

Halal cafe for Brunch, sister restaurant to The Connaught in Ilford

Maple Brunch Cafe

We visited on a Saturday as a walk-in, it was a busy atmosphere. Our server was incredibly helpful, especially when it came to confirming allergens and even recommending changes to the dish to suit our needs. We didn't have to wait long for our order, which was a huge plus. It's also worth noting that this is a baby-friendly restaurant - although not much room for the pram due to the narrow entrance.

We came in right around 8:20 on a Sunday and there was only one staff member working the front. She was really quick at getting us a table and taking our order. We had a change of plan so this was a pleasant surprise for us. The food was visually appealing as well as tasty. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. The portion sizes were also huge. The restaurant came alive as we waited for our food. It felt more like a local hangout spot. There were families, groups of friends and just locals stopping by for their morning coffee. We definitely stumbled upon a local hidden gem.

The restaurant is not far from Bethel Green station and it is quite close to young V&A museum.

It is quite busy and crowded on a Sunday morning, however it doesn’t impact the food quality.

We were able to walk in and get a seat for two persons. We decided to have Bénédict’s and avocado on sourdough with scrambled eggs.

The presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and they tasted great as well. They definitely taste healthy if you would like some more seasoning you can add salt and pepper.

There was no service charge and the price was so affordable in London. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Please tip them.

I will definitely come back.

Wonderful Breakfast Experience at Maples!

A group of six ladies, we went to Maples for breakfast and had an amazing time. We ordered a variety of sweets, breakfast dishes, and other options — everything was absolutely splendid! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Yum yum! We left feeling very happy and satisfied. Highly recommended for a delightful morning treat!

I ate here for two days in a row, which was a friendly staff and nice food! I really liked the atmosphere and the food was really great! Definitely a recommendation and compliments

Beans & Bites

This cafe has a large varied menu and the service is friendly. There is lots of space inside the cafe, therefore it is very easy to get seated quickly. The food is presented in a very unique way and is very delicious. Highly recommend the waffles and french toast!

I saw Beans & Bites on Instagram & told my hubby that we had to come here for brunch. We did just that yesterday & it was as good, if not better, than all the photos & comments I'd seen. Totally worth the 3 hour journey as we travelled up by train from Christchurch just to try it for ourselves. It was amazing & by far the best brunch we've had. Highly recommend 😋

Overall, a great place to brunch in a non-touristy location of London.

It was tasty, and the presentation was very good.
I recommend this spot even if it was obviously already known by lots of people.

Consequently, unfortunately,
We waited too long before being served, and the waiters had very little time for each customer.

10/10 minus nothing!!! The service , the food , the environment is on point. I commuted 2 hours just to be here and it was very worth it.  The shish was so flavourful , the salad was out of this world.  The iced pistachio latte is a must try!!!! The biscoff waffle, listen, I have had waffles and this has been nothing like all I have had. Tried out the carrot juice, freshly squeezed and perfect for a healthy drink. The whole experience at beans and bites was amazing! I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you so much for the great experience.

!! RUDE STAFF !! POOR FOOD QUALITY!! ZERO MANNERISM !!

We ordered the vegetarian frenchtoast and as i have been came to this place twice before i was very disappointed and went to the waitress ( as they didn’t come to check on the food ) and mentioned the beans were cold and the french toast was awful especially because it wasn’t at all a FRENCH TOAST IT WAS JUST SOAKED IN MAPLE SYRUP and dry inside and without even letting me or my friend finish the waitress is in denial of what i am saying and very rudely mentioned “ IT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SHOULD BE “ she has zero apology on her attitude and didn’t understand at all what we trying to saying because she wouldn’t even let us talk. Fact she continues saying we do same thing everyday what do you want me to do about it …
It took me a alot of patience to see that attitude of hers and calmly explained her the French toast expectations again. She got us another toast and IT WAS 3 times soaked in syrup just a brioche bun in syrup and calling it a day with dryness inside
We left the food went to the till for 2nd or 3rd time as they never came back to check. She continue to show attitude and your bill is this. Upto that we mentioned about the french toast and also the poor service the waitress answers “ CHECK ON YOU FOR WHAT ? “ we replied “ to check if the food is alright? “ she continues to to be super mean facial expressions to my friend and says “ check on the you FOR WHAT “ . Meanwhile she offered to take off the price of the french toast. We asked to speak to the manager of the restaurant seeing the staff unacceptable behaviour and he was MORE RUDE and says “ we can’t give you free food “ WE DIDNT EVEN ASK FOR FREE FOOD ? We didn’t even start saying about the experience and he called someone on phone and says “ WE HAVE CCTV Footage”. We were very disgusted on their conversation i also mentioned “ hear us first and what are gonna do this cctv footage i mean what is the point “ ?
Absolutely rubbish behaviour and poor service. We paid off the entire bill without the french toast. Plus it was worthless talking to mannerless people. It wasn’t about the money it was their ugly disgusting behaviour also body language towards a customer and zero sense of humbleness and empathy.
Learn some mannerisms ITS FREE  might help in future.
TO AVOID A BAD STARTING OF THE DAY PLEASE DONT COME TO THIS SHOP ESPECIALLY FOR DRY FRENCH TOAST 😂😂

Rada Coffee & Eatery

Rada Coffee & Eatery is hands down my favourite spot! They serve the best coffee and brunch I’ve had. The quality of the food is outstanding, always fresh and beautifully presented. The drinks are so unique and delicious.

The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is just perfect, relaxed yet vibrant, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down for a full brunch.

Definitely a must-visit!

Friendly service with a smile and amazing food. Everything arrived within ten minutes and was delicious! Portion sizes are perfect and the ambience is just right to enjoy your meal.

Loving the ambience of this coffee shops that’s surrounded by green plants! Quick services, you won’t wait for too long for your order to be served it’s all fresh and warm. All the foods here are HALAL, such a plus point! Prices are definitely worth it for the overall experience, one of my fav brunch spot!

I love the food here so good, the service is amazing and I always bring new friends to come and try. The staff here are absolutely fantastic, so helpful and friendly and always welcoming. I come at least twice a week.

This place was SOOOO GOOD! Me and my family came here for brunch, we ordered a mix of items from full English breakfast, egg Benedict dishes and also the chicken brioche, I’m sure it’s not just because I was hungry but the quality of the food was excellent. I don’t normally eat avocados and even their avocado toast and egg was amazing as I stole a few bites from my mum.

Will definitely come back again, excellent service as well!!!

@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Drunch Mayfair on Instagram

Drunch

Our experience at the restaurant was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, especially Giuseppe, who was incredibly kind and attentive. Thank you for such a great experience — we’ll definitely be coming back!

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. We paid £65 just for a shisha to be seated outdoors, which already felt excessive. To make matters worse, I found a fried fly in my food. When I informed the staff, there was no apology or genuine concern. They did mention they would remove the item from the bill “as a gesture of goodwill,” but that felt like the bare minimum — and still without any acknowledgment of how unacceptable the situation was. The service was also extremely slow and inattentive throughout. For the price, poor hygiene, and lack of basic hospitality, this place is absolutely not worth it. I won’t be returning.

Went with my girl friends during Sunday brunch (Bond St branch) and the wait was not too bad, I'd say 20 mins. Food was good and portion was a lot. Cosy vibes and very trendy looking.

Good place to have breakfast. Good options and the portion sizes were fair. Our food was good; not spectacular, but decent. I would come back for the superb service!! Good brunch by New Bond Street, excellent service

We always wanted to have a cafe evening and my wife had been to one of the other locations with her friends. So we decided to visit the one at Oxford circus. Their cheese candy and sticky toffee pudding is a must try. It's a typical cafe set up so do not go for the ambience but the food is good coupled with Shisha this is one of the best places in London.

Granger & Co. King's Cross

We frequent the Japanese branch of Bill's a lot and it's famous for its Ricotta Pancakes. We haven't had it since before covid and was very happy to find out there was a London branch of Bill's with almost same menu and decor.
We visited on a Saturday early afternoon with wife and two kids really looking forward to this.

Ordered the following
- Chicken Schnitzel,  this was very disappointing. For £26.5 I expect at least the chicken to be nice, juicy and tender but it was dry and barely any seasoning (subjective) it really needed the large lemon squeezed over it to give it some flavour.
- Kids burger, for £15 was pretty bad as well. The patty was overcooked and very dry.  It was only when my kid stopped eating to say it hurt his throat that I was made aware but he'd already eaten most of it. So couldn't couldn't tell the staff.
- Kids pasta. This was OK.
- Scrambled egg and Bread. This was OK.
- Ricotta Pancake.  This was the biggest disappointment.  It was hard, not soft and fluffy.
In Japan they always tell us it takes 20 minutes and when we would like it, so it comes out nice and fresh ready to be demolished. Here it just came out with with the rest of the dishes.

This review is comparing to good memories of the Bill's that we had in Japan, so it could be a little unfair with our high expectations.
It might of been a off day for the London Kings Cross branch.
If I had never been to Japanese branch then the worse thing was the dry burger and the bad value chicken schnitzel.

Service was good as expected.

I had to come to this restaurant before my train. Had no expectations as I had no clue about Australian food, but the fish curry was amazing.
My server Javier was a star who gave me this amazing recommendation. He is definitely the one who’s the most wonderful waiter in this place!
Everything was flawless, and I’m gonna come back :)

A very nice spot to wait for your train (especially when sunny!) with a sleek decor inside and original food choices that have a twist compared to options nearby.

Lots of vegetarian options.
Interesting selection of mocktails.

Lovely staff. Very attentive.

Good food and very welcoming service. Big thanks to the host and the waiting staff for accommodating us during a busy bank holiday lunchtime.
We had the Bills Chopped salad with an add on chicken. It was an unusual mix of ingredients but all very fresh and going well together.
We also appreciated a good range of non alcoholic drinks. I had the botivo spritz and it was great.

Had a wonderful experience here! Javier was super friendly and provided excellent service, making me feel very welcomed. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Really appreciate the great service and tasty food.  It is highly recommended!

Healthy-eating inspired menu and all-day brunch

The Locals Chelsea

Such a hidden gem in Chelsea! I went in the afternoon and the atmosphere was so calm and peaceful, the kind of place that gives cosy cafe energy without the noise or rush. Even though it’s a super cute and aesthetic, it honestly felt like a little haven for introverts or anyone who just wants to enjoy their food in peace. The greenery and rustic interior made it feel even more relaxing.

Now let’s talk food… The matcha pancakes were everything! 😍 Fluffy, light and topped with fresh berries and edible flowers, it was 11/10. I also loved that they weren’t overly sweet, just the right balance of flavour. The breakfast plate was good too, just needed a bit more seasoning, it’s still very filling and nicely presented.

The service was great too, welcoming, friendly, and quick. Also love that they offer halal options, which made the whole experience even better! 👏🏼

A lovely place to brunch. We sat outdoors and it was a nice setting. The service was efficient. The food was delicious and we loved the matcha pancakes! Definitely going to keep this address next time I will visit this side of London.

Such a lovely cafe serving delicious food. I had a very good grilled chicken toast, and my husband had a wonderful burger. Coffee was decent too. Beautiful greenery surrounds the cafe. Service was friendly and very efficient.

Popped into this cute brunch spot in Chelsea and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the lemonade, chicken sandwich with fries, and buttermilk pancakes – and honestly, it hit all the right notes.

The lemonade was super refreshing – not too sweet, with a nice citrusy tang that felt homemade rather than overly sugary. A perfect start.

The chicken sandwich was the star of the show. Tasty, juicy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of seasoning. The sourdough bread was toasted but held together well, and it came with a little kick from the sauce, which I loved. The fries on the side were golden, crunchy, and piping hot – basically everything you want in good fries.

We finished off with the buttermilk pancakes, and they were fluffy, buttery, and served with just the right amount of syrup. Not too heavy, but still indulgent – ideal for a weekend treat.

Service was nice, and the vibe was relaxed but stylish, with just the right amount of buzz for a late morning brunch. Definitely one of those places you’d want to come back to – whether you’re catching up with friends or just treating yourself.

I had a lovely breakfast at The Locals Chelsea one weekend before heading to RHS Chelsea. It’s tucked away in Grosvenor Waterside, not far from Chelsea Bridge, with a calm, neighbourhood vibe and outdoor seating by the water. The vegetarian breakfast was absolutely delicious — generous, well-balanced, and beautifully cooked (the eggs were just as I requested). My friend ordered the poached eggs with sausage and homemade beans and was equally impressed. Great coffee too, and the menu has loads of fresh, healthy options as well as more indulgent choices. A really nice place to start your day.

All dishes which contain chicken are Halal. We work with a certified halal supplier.

The Locals

Haute Dolci

Visited this cafe located right at the entrance of St. George shopping center. It has ample seating space. The atmosphere and interior here was amazing. The staff were welcoming. They have a wide range of food and beverages on their menu, prices were more on to the higher end. I was surprised and impressed by the availability of a prayer room which was so convenient. I hope they maintain it through out. Definitely will walk in soon I.A

I ordered two burgers – one beef and one chicken. My wife had the chicken, but it tasted like beef because they clearly cooked it on the same grill without care. Absolutely disgusting and unprofessional. I called them, but they didn’t bother to answer properly and basically ignored me.

On top of that, their tres leches cake was made with powdered milk – cheap, fake, and revolting. Nothing authentic about it at all.

The staff’s attitude matched the food: careless, rude, and with zero respect for customers. I would never recommend this place to anyone – a complete disaster of a restaurant.

I love the decor and atmosphere in this place. We went for brunch and its was very good.  I had the breakfast and it was filling. Only thing missing was hash browns and butter for the bread.
I would I back for the breakfast.

The food was quite disappointing. We the Pasta all’Arrabbiata and it was basically a tasteless pasta in soup. Then for desert I tried the vanilla tres leches which was too sweet for my liking. The only thing that tasted good was their crispy burger.

The service was also not great. For example we ordered a salad and it was the last thing to come. I have never been to a restaurant that doesn’t bring the salad and appetizers first. They also don’t bring everyone’s dish at the same time which kinda ruins the dining experience.

Haute Dolci delivers beautifully on desserts, everything was rich, flavorful, and well-presented. The mocktails were equally impressive, refreshing, and thoughtfully made.

A perfect spot for anyone with a sweet tooth looking for a stylish treat.

All our food and dessert items are halal.

I had the most unforgettable experience celebrating my 21st birthday at Haute Dolci Wembley. From the moment I arrived, the staff made everything feel so special. Sonam and Tara were absolutely amazing so warm, helpful, and attentive throughout the evening. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

The food was incredible every dish was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. The desserts, of course, were heavenly! The private party space felt elegant and cosy, making the whole celebration feel intimate and memorable.

I couldn’t have asked for a better place or team to celebrate this special milestone. Thank you, Haute Dolci Wembley, and a big thank you to Sonam and Tara.

I have visited twice, once in 2023 and once in 2024, prior to concerts. The food is absolutely amazing!! It tastes wonderful, is prepared and presented perfectly. The staff are very kind. I absolutely love the atmosphere of this restaurant!! So well decorated!! Nice bathrooms too!

We had our bridal shower here an it was a lovely experience the service and hospitality was 10/10 and the food was delicious, especially the desserts. Would definitely book again .

Amazing service! I booked the upstairs space for a bridal shower and the staff were super attentive and helpful. The food was nice and all in all we had an amazing time. Thank you!

The food was great, it was quite unique but had a wide variety so it was really nice. The quality was also really good and it was fresh as well. Service was pretty fast and the aestethic was cute too. We went here before the Coldplay concert and even got a 15% discount when we showed our tickets!

I had the most wonderful experience on my birthday🧁all thanks to Zeenab! She went above and beyond to make the day extra special. From helping us choose the perfect dessert to organizing a beautiful last-minute birthday message, her attention to detail and genuine care made such a difference.♥️

She also made sure we got the best spot in the place to enjoy the celebration. The ambiance is incredibly peaceful and elegant—perfect for relaxing and making memories. We only tried the desserts and coffee, but they were absolutely delicious—the highlight of our visit!

They also serve halal burgers (both veg and non-veg), along with a wide variety of shakes, coffees, and other tempting treats on the menu. Everything looked so luscious, we’ll definitely be coming back to try more.

Huge thanks again to Zeenab (manager)for making my day so memorable!🫶🏻

I came for a bridal shower and had heard good reviews of this place. However, the pasta came like soup and took a really long time to be served. There’s supposed to be chicken in the pasta but you could barely taste the chicken and it was more so shredded rather than chopped into the pasta.

I believe this place is more so better tailored for desserts rather than main dishes

Social Media is a lie. Full marks to marketing team of Haute Dolce to make it a sensation otherwise the desserts are so basic don’t know how it became that famous. Cheesecake is a normal commercial ready made dry cake available everywhere with simple sauce, I really thought it must be fresh being in such a famous place. The honeycomb dessert was also average. Good service though

First time trying the food here, although I’ve visited before just for dessert.

Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations. I ordered the chicken pasta and was extremely disappointed with the lack of flavour - it felt quite bland, especially for the price. On the other hand, dessert was good.

It’s a nice place if you’re looking to splurge a bit on dessert, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the main food offerings.

Wanted to come here for years; really surpassed expectations! Incredible place with beautiful interior and great customer service.

Everything we tried was so good. Not just desserts, but pasta too. Really nice Italian-inspired options. The menu is giant, so this place is worth many visits.

This hidden gem tucked away on a quiet side street serving breakfast brunch every morning and burgers and steaks in the evening, as well as value for money. They started breakfast recently, so I tried few of the dishes.
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Classic Breakfast (£8)
🔳 Steak & Egg Florentine (£7.50)
🔳 Lotus Buttermilk Pancakes (£8)
🔳 Aussie French Toast (£8)
🔳 Butter Chicken Burger (£8)
.
I always judge sausages with any breakfast dishes. You can tell these ain’t your typical cheap sausages. Good tasty meaty and beefy sausages. Just a good old classic breakkie. With breakfast prices everywhere going close to £15, getting a breakkie under 10 is a win win
.
My fav has to be this steak and egg. Amazing tender and melt in your mouth pulled beef with Avocado which gave a nice little creamy texture. This was really good. Must try
.
This probably might be one of the best pancakes I’ve had. I mentioned few times buttermilk pancakes that have a fluffy yet flakey cakey texture are the ones. This was exactly that. The edges have a nice caramelised crust giving a nice little crunchy twist.
.
First Aussie french toast. Most know I can’t do fruity. I probably would’ve enjoyed this without the fruity stuff. The bread itself was soft and had texture and crunch from coconut infused. Wasn’t for me because of the fruits but I can tell those who like fruity will defo enjoy this
.
I tried one of their burgers. The butter chicken was calling my name. Lol I had it and I was surprised them burgers were fricking amazing. Probably one of the most juiciest chicken thigh I’ve had. So crispy and tender chicken inside. The butter chicken gravy was drenched on the top. I would’ve drenched and dipped the whole thing for this burger
.
All in all excellent spot for breakfast even for your burger fixes. I must come back to try their burgers. Defo has potential

@halalhunt's review of The Connaught Ilford on Instagram

The Connaught

The steak and poached eggs and avocado were absolutely delicious. The steak was tender and full of flavour, perfectly complemented by the rich creaminess of the eggs. The seasoning was spot on, and the fresh greens added a lovely balance to the dish. Beautifully presented and very satisfying , a dish I’d happily have again.

Food (big breakfast) was cooked to perfection even when I requested my eggs preference. The food was fresh and hot. Service very timely. Drinks tasted good. Quality and service great overall. I’m normally fussy to please, and I can truly say I was impressed! I will be back!

We visited this place for dinner, met with a smiley welcome, very helpful and accommodating.
Beef fries were the best - husband was hungry - went down well. The chicken steak and angus steak were nice and tender. I preferred the peppercorn sauce over the mushroom one.
Loved it! Thank you

We had a complimentary chai latte from our friendly staff.
Highly recommend this place.

I had the chicken steak with mash and vegetables, and it was absolutely fantastic. The chicken was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning. The mash was smooth and buttery, and the vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked—still with a bit of bite, just how I like them.

The dish was well presented, showing real care from the kitchen. It looked as good as it tasted, and for the quality, the price was very reasonable. You can tell the chef put real effort into the dish—top marks for flavor, texture, and presentation.

While I was there, I also noticed the breakfast plates and platters being served to other tables. They looked just as impressive, and I’ll definitely be back soon to try them.

My friend and I had an amazing experience at The Connaught today. Amazing service from Mo, 10 stars for his hospitality and entertainment ⭐️ My friend travelled from far to try the food and says she will definitely be making the trip again! Top tier food spot for sure

Everything on our menu is certified halal.

American, gourmet food concept inspired by a true love for eggs

We tried out the Fairfax Egg Sandwich from @eggslutuk , and while it was tasty and the eggs were soft and creamy, it was underwhelming and definitely not filling enough for it’s price.

The staff person was very thorough in answering my questions and did so with a smile the entire time. Great service and good food. Good background music and environment. Would recommend!

The service is extremely slow we waited for more than 45 minutes for 2 truffle mushroom eggs. This is my second time here! The orange juice is fresh, the truffle egg is nice the bread is soft and the egg is juicy. But dose not worth the wait

It is located on the side of the road. Seating is available inside for around more than twenty five people, and it can fill up quickly during peak hours. Parking nearby is possible but often tricky, especially on market days.
Prices lean toward the premium side for a breakfast spot, with egg buns ranging from £9 to £15. The food is indulgent and satisfying, especially the Fairfax and truffle hash browns, though some items arrive lukewarm and can be a bit messy to eat. Coffee is decent, but not a standout, and there are arguably better brews in the area.
Staff are generally friendly and attentive, with service that’s quick and efficient despite the crowds. If you’re craving a rich, eggy breakfast and don’t mind a little chaos, Eggslut delivers.

Great food, great service and overall a great experience. We had a cheeseburger and a bacon&egg sandwich. I changed the bacon&egg sandwich to get it with scrambled eggs instead. The food was juicy, tasty and just amazing. Loved our lunch here!

This was one of the most delicious breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. We got the salad, hash browns and the fairfax sandwich. Not a ton of seating but the staff were super accommodating and kind. 10/10 recommend

Our beef bacon, wagyu beef and turkey sausage are halal available at all stores!

Eggslut

Eggslut Fitzrovia

Eggslut was superb! I went in through a recommendation from a friend and it was worth it!
Even though i am not big on eggs in general, but those were literally superior.. I went for the hashbrowns as well.
Staff were nice, they even remembered me because I had to go twice since the first time they were out of buns.
100% recommended! Keep up the great job!

A cosy and quick breakfast spot with a great atmosphere. I really loved the delicacy and presentation of the food. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but they offer an NHS discount, which is a nice touch. I tried the strawberry matcha drink – it was okay, but probably wouldn’t order it again. The sandwich itself was fantastic, delicious, and satisfying. It’s a place I’d visit once if I’m passing by, but not necessarily a regular stop.

First time trying Eggslut. I went for a cheeseburger which was not bad, very nice texture, good quality of meat, fairly cooked egg, overall really tasty. However, the size of the burger is small considering paying almost 12£ for it.
The restaurant is nice and cozy with helpful and friendly staff. They also have a big jug with ice water and plastic cups for anyone to help himself.
They also accept blue light card which is fantastic, 20% off.
Overall, nice experience, I will definitely try it again.

Everything we ate were amazing, but the portions are small, hashbrowns were especially great and tasty. I would come back again, the staff was helpful and nice.

First time I went to eggslut after waiting to try it for a long time.

The experience wasnt as amazing as I had hoped for, but that was my fault because I ordered the wrong bun.

Wanted the one with scrambled eggs, instead ordered the bacon and egg one. Which was nice if you could taste the cheese but mostly it was just drowning in ketchup which took away all the taste. The bun was bit dry as well.

Got the truffle hasbrowns which tasted nice but it was dry as well.

Finally got the french sticks  which were qiite good but too sweet, but thats just personal taste.

For what you get the price is quite high. However the staff were really ncie and friendly.

Maybe ill go again and try the one i actually wanted to try.

Eggslut Shoreditch

Genuinely one of the best eating experiences I’ve had. The chicken sando was on another level, SO juicy and SO crispy, 10/10. Don’t even get me started on the French toast sticks… soft, buttery brioche on the inside, slight crisp on the outside. All hits, no misses! Shoutout to Richmond for his impeccable service too

Delicious breakfast rolls and the French toast sticks are something else! Get the BEC and add a turkey sausage. Great service too from very friendly staff.

Eggslut Shoreditch never disappoints. Their Fairfax sandwich is creamy, flavourful, and perfectly balanced paired with the indulgent truffle hashbrowns,

it’s a brilliant combo. The team is super friendly, service is quick, and everything’s cooked fresh to order just what you want in a casual breakfast spot.

Cozy, buzzing atmosphere just a heads-up, seating is limited. Still, totally worth it!

Delicious! Love the option to have salad in place of bread… Fairfax all the way. Richmond was lovely and kind with his service! Only a few small tables, but worth staying to sit.

Delicious. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like. My partner and I couldn’t pick between a number of different things, so we split a bunch of them. Every single item was delightful. The star of the show- the French toast sticks. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Chapters London

Looked promising at first, but what a disappointment. The food had no flavour, and the “brisket” wasn’t even close to being brisket. The French toast tasted like dry Weetabix straight from the packet. No butter on the toast?? To top it off, my mac and cheese was served with my dessert—completely baffling

Not a single dish was enjoyable.

On the positive side, the lady serving us was genuinely kind, welcoming, and had a lovely smile, which was the only redeeming part of the visit.

Unfortunately, the seating was cramped and uncomfortable, and overall, the entire experience was extremely poor.

Appearance 8/10
Service 10/10
Food 2/10

Brisket hot pot was chewy and cut into odd cubes. Toast tasted cheap, burnt, and dry. Iced latte felt supermarket-bought. Beef sausage looked bad and had no flavour.

Food took ages to arrive, some dishes came late. Seating? Why am I sitting on a stool and others have proper chairs?!

French toast was dry, rough, no ice cream, barely any syrup. Whipped cream on French toast? Really?

Overall – good service, some uncomfortable seats and food that just missed the mark.

Food was excellent and service was great too. The pancakes were so good!! And the savoury options are excellent. We popped in for a coffee and stayed for brunch. It’s a great option in a very busy area with great interior.

In regards to the full English- Sausage and rashers tasted really bad couldn’t eat. I’ve never had sausages that looked and tasted like that. Beans were watery and possibly sugar and salt free. Toast was cold, unbuttered and very cheap.  Eggs were slimey (uncooked whites) but somehow overcooked yolks- didn’t ooze.

Atmosphere is very nice, staff are nice.

Ok, so for price I will be giving it 4 stars. But for favour it was nothing special. Just ok. So overall 3.5 stars.

With so much competition around the area, I was hoping for something to standout.

Food:
Our food was overall ok. Nothing made to its full potential with flavour. My full English was just things put together on plate.
The French toast flavour is good. But I was expecting a fluffy inside with toasted outside. Instead, it was just thin toast.
My sons burger was the highlight and his was a kids meal.

Drinks:
The drinks no no no. My mojito classic was the worst I've ever tasted. It was soo salty and bitter. Nope no nope.
Wife's fresh juice good.

Service:
The staff friendly overall.
We went around 2pm was not busy. And didn't take long for food to come.

Ok, so I would say worth the visit for for price and it's halal. ok if you live local for ok food.
But if like me, you will be travelling to get here then not worth the travel.

Visited this place few weeks back to try this place out for their French Toast however they ran out by the time I went. So just decided to try out few other dishes that caught my eye.
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Chicken Katsu Sando (£15)
🔳 Scrambled Eggs and Mushroom Toast (£12)
🔳 Blueberry Pancake (£14)
.
Chicken Katsu Sando which when it arrived looked like dry and over cooked chicken, turned out to be juicy and tender chicken. It was a delicious Sando. For a thick thick thick thigh piece, it was defo cooked to perfection. Enjoy this 🤤
.
The half scrambled eggs and half mushroom toast was decent. The eggs needed seasoning but if mixed with the mushrooms, it was defo a good tasty breakfast dish
.
The blueberry pancakes wasn’t to my liking. The pancake itself was nicely cooked and wasn’t the problem. I can’t do fruity with pancakes and French toast. I would’ve enjoyed it with probably a sweet chocolate or just maple syrup. This is probably for those who like fruity dessert lol
.
All in all defo a spot I have to go back as I wanted their french toast more than anything. I would defo order the chicken Sando

@halalhunt's review of TAB X TAB Bayswater on Instagram

TAB X TAB

This place has delicious, thoughtful food. The scrambled eggs and creamy mushroom on toast was delightful. Very rich. The presentation was off the charts. Beautiful with these small chopped chives over the scrambled egg.  Their pour over coffee is delicious as well. It was brewed right with a small glass container with ground beans for you to smell prior to enjoying the coffee. They seem to place a lot of emphasis on coffee bean quality as well as they give a card citing the origin of the beans and how they were prepared. Highly recommend to someone looking for a good cup of coffee. My mom got the poached eggs on sourdough with the rocket salad on top. The salad was delicious as were the tomatoes. The cheese was too salty for us but enjoyed with the avocado and sourdough it might be tolerable for other people. Overall a great experience and would recommend to anyone in the area.

Tab X Tab is a charming spot for brunch with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed perfectly cooked eggs benedict, fluffy French toast, and a grilled halloumi dish with poached egg, rocket, tomato, and sourdough. A selection of pastries rounded out the meal, and our gracious waitress handled our lively kids with kindness. The food arrived quickly, the setting was cozy yet lively, and next time I will be back to try the avocado toast. Highly recommended.

The creamy mushroom and scrambled eggs were really delicious. The best part of the meal! I would def come back for the mushroom toast. The banana bread was also delicious. Salmon eggs Benedict were good but probably the least favourite of all the things I’ve tried but still quite solid.

I have to say the customer service is outstanding. I had an issue the first time eating here and emailed the restaurant manager and he took care of it immediately. I would have to say they take pride and care to really ensure good service and quality. I’m happy to say I’ll be returning to definitely get the mushroom toast and scrambled eggs!

The first time coming to this store I got the avocado eggs Benedict and hotjicha latte and it tasted pretty good overall. They add sunflower seeds and their sauce is delicious! And I quite like the touch of the slaw salad. That being said, the staff were great. Attentive even though it was really busy.

Stopped here on a whim and we were not disappointed.  Coffee was really good and the breakfast meals were enjoyed by all.  Loved the golden colors of the eggs.  Will definitely come back here again when in the area

Amazing food and good vibe!

They cater for different dietary needs. Gluten free toast is one of the best in London, so cripsy😋

A big shout to Jessica who is an absoute star💕 I was so dumb that I didn't mention my wheat allergy, and assuming there's no toast in the breakfast... When the food arrived I knew I made a mistake... Jessica kindly changed the food for me🥲 I feel so sorry but Jessica is very kind💯

Full English breakfast with a Bangladeshi twist

🔴 @momlette__ 🔴 Located In Bricklane 
.
A new cafe serving bengali street food style eggs, Classic British style eggs with Bengali twist, all served on a caramboard table. The focus here is eggs. The main thing to get this concept correct is serving good quality eggs. They definitely got that spot on after seeing they using the good quality cacklebean eggs
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Eggs Royale (£10.95)
🔳 Momlette (£8.95)
🔳 Half English (£10.95)
🔳 Scrambled Momlette (£6.95)
🔳 Cronut (£3.50)
.
Momlette is their signature dish which is a omlette cooked with spices and mustard in a parata. I loved how it was the perfect balance of spice and nice texture of the eggs. Really good on the go kinda wrap
.
Half English meaning half English style, half desi. Your traditional breakfast with parata. Eggs cooked perfectly and the main thing here was the sausages. This was good quality sausage which had spices infused. Which was new to me. Really liked the sausages. 
.
Scrambled eggs on toast again cooked perfectly. With desi spices and herbs. If you’re bored of plain scrambled eggs defo try this. The best dish for me was egg Benedict. Perfectly cooked eggs. Lovely Hollandaise sauce. Good smoked salmon. Had a nice hint of kick.
.
All in all if you’re an egg lover defo a place to visit. They have excellent coffee aswell. Really enjoyed my oat latte aswell
.

@halalgems's review of Momlette Brick Lane on Instagram

Momlette

Really lovely cafe with a great option of drinks and food.
I ordered a porridge - it was beautifully presented and delicious.
The coffee was strong and tasty.
The space is lovely, and there's a cute little garden area out the back, which would be amazing to sit in on a sunny day.

Really nice breakfast options! Sausage egg bagel was yummy and hash browns were piping hot. Reasonable price too - about £7 for the bagel.

Breakfast was really tasty I had half English breakfast a nice mix of Bengali  and English flavors , Momlet offers a very good French toast it’s  looking like a perfect painting my wife said it is  the best French toast she ever had. Thank you Sadaf for the excellent service .

Cosy atmosphere in their garden and delicious food! We had the half-english breakfast, the momlette and a bagel with iced lattes. Staff were very lovely and prices are good. Will go again if im near Brick Lane

Lovely back garden; the food is absolutely amazing. Just a bit too spicy for me personally, I highly recommend this place!

Everything on our menu is halal and we don’t serve alcohol. M

Instagrammable coffee shop with an unusual pink colorscheme serving a range of coffee & sweets

EL&N | Carnaby

I visited on the weekend morning. There are seating area both indoor & outdoor but it’s super windy so I chose to sit inside. The area in the shop is quite small and cannot fit if customer has a baby pushchair. Also, the high table and seating area downstairs are not accessible which is definitely not kid-friendly.
I’ve ordered a pistachio crossiant which the taste was not bad but absolutely not worthy for this price. The staff seems nice and can tell that he’s trying his best to serve 3-4 groups of customers alone.

I had never visited Elan before, assuming it was more about aesthetics for the ‘Gram. However, I was pleasantly surprised the coffee and cakes were actually quite good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Plus point they stay open late (until 11pm)

Small but very nicely presented.

The stairs going down to the bathrooms are very steep and not for people with difficulties moving.

The pistachio Spanish latte was sweet and creamy.. very nice.
Service was fast and friendly

Was in the area and wanted to try somewhere different to Pret which is across the street. Got a falafel wrap which was decent but was most wrap with only a small amount of filling towards the ends. Ends were also hard so wasn't about to eat those. They "ran out" of all fresh juice opens so I went for the lemonade. This place is nice to try out once for the 'gram but would opt for the sweet treats instead and go somewhere else for savoury.

I was in the Great Marlborough EL&N branch (near Liberty department store) Nice food and drinks and staff but let down by how food was presented on pink plastic trays and wooden cutlery- also downstairs (treacherous staircase) was a bit of a mess and toilets not in a good state

Food: N and I always order the Full English Breakfast (with some tweaks) cos who doesn’t love a Full English? We always get the Sausages, Turkey Bacon, Eggs, Sourdough and Beans, and sometimes a cheeky side of Crushed Avocado or Halloumi. Everything is delicious. The Sausages taste so fatty that we can FEEL ourselves putting on the pounds 😂 but booooyy 👅 are they scrumptious! The only thing we hate are tomatoes, but we always order them because they look good in the pictures. 😬😂
Service: You have to order at the till and the food doesn’t take long.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Grounded Aldgate on Instagram

I went to check out @groundedcoffeeco_london
During the week after hearing good things .

Pictured is the full English (halal) at £9.50 and pancakes £7.50 .

I have to say I think this place is massively overrated. No way this is worth £9.50. The sausage was decent enough, but there wasn't enough here to justify the price, the word BASIC comes to mind and this shouldn't cost more than £5. It came with sourdough toast which was hard and unpleasant. Also, didn't even come with a cup of tea. Bump. .

The pancakes where just okay and they wern't even round! Brioche burger definitely do the best pancakes. 
The decor and vibe in there is good tho. But I'd take value over decor. You can go down a few shops and get a full English for £5.

This is probably a spot most East Londoners been eating for good few years. And personally my regular fav spot in the area. They have a massive menu, from breakfast dishes, to burgers and ribs as well as pancakes and French toast. They’re oat latte also on point, good premium coffee beans
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Full English (£12.50)
🔳 Egg On Toast (£8)
🔳 East Classic Burger (£10.50)
🔳 Buttermilk Pancakes (£12.50)
.
The full English breakfast is your classic popular dish here. I enjoy this more than others in the local area like cafe east and others. Every time I have that it doesn’t give me the greasy and oily feeling. Some days it does flop but in general I do enjoy this a lot
.
The burger I think is underrated. It’s weirdly a solid burger aswell. Like a good enjoyable Gourmet Burger. When I first had it, I’m like huh how the hell is this so good. I was expecting dead burger. Lol but it’s actually a solid burger. Not like a blow your mind away burger, but a burger you’ll eat and probably enjoy. Some days I did have it dry. But when it’s good, it’s joccccyyyyy 
.
But highlight for me always is their pancakes. I think this place made me love buttermilk style pancakes and pancakes that are thick fluffy but have that cakey taste, if that makes sense. But your slim looking pancakes
.
All in all this place is generally the best breakfast place in East London

@halalhunt's review of Grounded Aldgate on Instagram

Grounded London

Can't really say anything very amazing or very negative about Grounded in Whitechapel. When we arrived it was very busy and were lucky to get a table as there was only 2 of us. The seating layout is quite tight as the location itself is not overly big, we sat at a long table shared with 3 other pairs which was fine. Due to how busy it was the overall atmosphere was just come in, eat, and leave ASAP as the tables were being flipped constantly, and you could see the staff were just trying to manage the level of busy, with that fair play to them but because of this you didn't get that feeling that you could just sit and spend some time at the cafe.
In relation to food, the food was good, but nothing exceptional, the pancakes were okay, if anything the eggs benedict was better.

We had nice experience at Grounded London. The service was good and the food was great, especially the porridge!
We luckily didn’t have to wait for a table as we came in at the perfect time but know it’s quite a busy place and a bit noisy as well.
My recommendation would be to change the cutlery as it was difficult to cut the sourdough bread with the knife given.

The food here was excellent – very filling and full of flavor! Great value for money as the portions are generous for the price. The atmosphere is also really nice and makes it a great place to enjoy a meal.

The only thing I’d suggest improving is the size of the restaurant, as it feels a bit small and can get crowded during busy times. Other than that, everything was great! Definitely recommend.

Grounded Whitechapel offers a good coffee experience with generally satisfactory service. During my weekday visit, the cafe was busy but there were seats available. The atmosphere, however, was rather noisy.

The homemade buttermilk pancakes were nice — fluffy, soft, and served warm. The coffee was decent. That said, the seating arrangement felt somewhat cramped, with tables placed close together, making the space feel congested; you’re seated very close to other diners.

There was a noticeable sense of urgency to eat quickly, as the staff seemed eager to clear tables promptly to accommodate the steady flow of customers. In fact, the waitress was taking my coffee away before I had finished it. I paid £17.95 for my pancakes and coffee, and the service should be a lot better. Instead, I felt somewhat pressured to leave to free up space for others. Overall, it was a satisfactory visit with good food.

Grounded London is a very nice and cozy spot for brunch. The waitresses are extremely professional, quick, and friendly. The food was also very good. Two small downsides: there aren’t many vegan options, and prices are on the expensive side.

All our food is Halal. Our meat products are halal and HMC certified.

Great food. Loved the lamb burger and the mezze platter, so many fantastic colours and spices, very well presented. The chips with the pomegranate and mint were amazing. The customer service was on point. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and the menu. Will definitely come back again.

What a hidden gem. My favourite place of 2023 so far! We ordered -
✨Shifta Burger with fries- Burger comes with 2 shifta patties which are full of flavours so you could have a juicy bite of beef in every bite.  Loved the Beharat fries as well. They were seasoned with some mild spice mix & a sauce which was sooo good.

✨Mezze Dips- It comes with a selection of dips and a Za’atar bread. Their Red pepper dip is to die for. So yumm! The dips are good enough for 2 breads.

Veggie Mezze- Kubba dumplings were so tasty that I might order a separate plate of kubba dumplings when I visit next.

7 spice chicken and rice- The chicken was so tender yet juicy and flavourful.  So so good!

All the dishes were amazing but my fav was the shifta burger with fries.  Highly recommend this place for good Kurdish food.

Would highly recommend for breakkie or lunch. The breakfast platter was delicious and we shared baklava for a sweet treat. The boreks also looked amazing which I would get if passing! Only downfall was my oat milk latte which was possibly the strongest coffee I’ve ever had… almost undrinkably so!

Delicious. I had the shakshouka (? Sorry for my spelling!) and shared the AMAZING fries (they’re not just fries) with my friend. Lovely person working there too so felt really welcomed.

Absolutely fascinating place and what a joy to eat here! The food especially the Mezze is heavenly delicious and their range of juices are fresh and lovely. This family run place truly serve a modernised Kurdish cuisine with love and passion.

Woodland Cafe

Food and service review:
I had such an amazing time celebrating my birthday with my family and friends at the Woodland Cafe. The service from our waitress was amazing! (Don’t remember her name - she is a Dominican lady) And food and drinks were served very quick considering it was 17 of us. I would definitely return!

Booking process review:
The booking process was very confusing and should definitely be improved. I emailed the email address on their website to reserve the bloom room as stated on their website, however 2-3 weeks passed and I received no response. I then called and was told that they don’t use their email address, that I should call a few weeks before my booking to reserve the table. I was then dming their instagram account for months to discuss details for my booking and the person handling the account told me they’d need all my guests’ pre-orders a week before the booking. Then when I called a week before my booking, I was told they don’t need pre-orders that everyone should just order on the day. As you can imagine, this was very confusing and made the planning of my birthday very stressful. Please review your booking process as a team and help make it less confusing.

I’d like to thank Madalina who helped me to sort out all details and confusion in the last few days before my booking. The day was perfect and went smoothly.

Well i always liked woodland but slowly slowly they are losing the quality. Food is not good and getting over expensive as well. Staff is nice but they keep changing them so i cant recommend anything.

Dont even try their bakery. Because i had it just looks nice most of the time is not fresh as well. This jacket potato wasn’t good well. You people need to bake the cheese as well. And potato isnt supposed to be just boiled and cut in half it should be mixed with butter and black pepper to make it tasty and creamy.

But i recommend their english breakfast and 🍔.

I had an amazing time with my daughter at Norburu Woodland Coffee Shop! The service was lovely — the staff were warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing time together. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

After reading the reviews, My husband and I drove 50 minutes to have breakfast.  Drinks arrived quickly and they were nice. Waited almost an hour for a mediocre breakfast. Poached eggs weren’t cooked enough. Not coming back.

Had a lovely family brunch.  Staff very friendly and accommodating.  Food was delicious 😋
