@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!

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

Rabbit Hole Cafe

So hard to find a good halal roast, and this place was absolutely to die for!! We’re so glad we came across it. Sumi took such great care of us, the service was amazing and made the experience even better. The décor is beautiful and so unique, and the food is hearty, comforting, and full of flavor. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cute spot with incredible comfort food.

I visited Rabbit Hole Café and had a wonderful experience. The waitress Samanta served me and she was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the very beginning. I also loved the visit card made by the staff such a thoughtful detail that made the start of the experience even more exciting and personal.
I ordered the all-day breakfast along with a flat white, and both were excellent. The breakfast was tasty and well presented, and the flat white was smooth, rich, and perfectly made. The café has a cozy, relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable right away. Overall, a great experience highly recommendeeeeeed!!! Yummy😋

The waitress is very hardworking. She was working by herself for the time we sat there and despite it being busy, was efficient & friendly.
We ordered two breakfast, a shakshuka, & a kids chips & nuggets.
Breakfast was good, especially turkey bacon & sausages. Hashbrown could’ve been crispier. Shakshuka was well seasoned. We also ordered a pot of tea for two which had enough for 3 ppl. I paid a total of 47£.

This is our second visit and tbh I wish it was more. The food came to us piping hot and tasty.

The staff friendly and attentive

This theme we popped in for the all day breakfast, I went for the all day English breakfast and the Mrs went for Eat me with chips both equally delicious.

Me and my friends were dying to see and eat their food. If you love Alice in Wonderland, you’d love this place. The foods are extraordinary, the staffs are very friendly. I super recommend this cafe!

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.

Absolutely love this place. My family and I visit frequently for weekend brunch. Coffee is amazing and also love their fresh smoothies. A lot of options to choose from, especially love the french toast and also love their cream cakes😋! They have a fantastic bakery selection too for fresh breads. Food is high quality and feels healthy.

I have also ordered cakes from here for special occasions and everyone loves the cakes. We recently tried the afternoon tea and it was yummy, very generous portions too.

We love the outdoor option for seating, makes it feel like we are abroad 😎.

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.

It was on my list to visit Belgique before covid, but then it never happened. Finally, today I got to visit with a friend, and I absolutely loved the place, staff’s cordial, patient and  friendly service with no rush and hush to shoo us out as soon as we finish eating, it holds much bigger space than it seems from front.
Preparations were quite nice and fresh. I really enjoyed their patisserie and chamomile tea.
I even got some patisserie as take away for my kids and really enjoyed Hazelnut eclairs, Orange blossom.

Lovely space, lovely preps and very cordial staff..its first but definitely not last. I will visit again and again.

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.

Belgique

Parker's Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel, London

Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The food was extremely sub-par:
•	Spanish latte - lacked condensed milk, which made it taste flat.
•	Croque monsieur – fries were the only good part. The turkey sandwich was very dry turkey, and the bread was hard, making it unenjoyable.
•	Pressed simit – took a long time to arrive, and while it tasted slightly better (thanks to all the sauces), the brioche bun itself had a stale taste.

Service also left much to be desired. It was slow. A group at the table next to us was celebrating a birthday and had asked for a candle with their dessert, but when the dessert came, the request hadn’t been passed on. The friend had to ask again, and it was clear the staff weren’t communicating properly.

Overall, between the slow service, disappointing food, and lack of attention to detail, it wasn’t a great experience. Went Friday morning and was quite quiet. Mostly people from the hotel eating a quick continental breakfast.

At 10am on a midweek it wasn’t crowded. I was ushered to a table by the staff after being asked if I was a guest in the hotel (I wasn’t). I ordered their karak chai (£6). It was served in the Turkish tea type of bardak-tea glass. 120mL max. The Egg florentine was good though I wished the poached eggs were runny as I requested (it was overcooked). Overall I am still pleased to have breakfast here. Hope to be able to try their lunch/dinner items someday when it is not fullhouse. Note: they do not accept AMEX credit cards

Parker’s London has nice seating and a pleasant atmosphere, although the space feels a bit narrow. The service was noticeably slow, which took away slightly from the experience. That said, the burger was really good and nice to try. With faster service, this place could be much better.

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!

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!

Parker's

Granger and Co. Notting Hill

I am from America. My wife and I ate here three mornings in a row during our last holiday to London. The quality and the creative twist on the food was terrific. The service was first class. Zen was our waiter he was so kind and gave us great suggestions for new places to visit across London.

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.

We had an amazing breakfast at Granger & Co.! Everything was absolutely delicious — from the fluffy ricotta hotcakes to the perfectly made coffees and the rest of the dishes we ordered. The service was exceptional, and a special shout-out to Faton, who made our experience even better with his warm and attentive service. Can’t wait to come back! ☀️🥞✨

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 ♥️

We stopped by Granger & Co around 3pm for an afternoon snack and coffee. There was no wait, though the restaurant was lively and buzzing. We ordered a pot of fresh mint tea, a latte, and their famous hotcake. The ricotta hotcakes were incredible—super fluffy, not too sweet or greasy, and perfectly paired with caramelized bananas. Latte was fantastic as well. Service was excellent, with attentive and kind staff. Looking forward to coming back to try more of their dishes!

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

This is an amazing breakfast and brunch spot. The food looks so good you’ll want to take loads of photos before even eating. I really enjoyed the sourdough bread, poached egg, and garlic yogurt combo — delicious and well-balanced. The pancakes and French toast were perfectly made: light, fluffy, and paired with great syrups and toppings. The place itself is cosy with a warm atmosphere, and the customer service was excellent. A fantastic spot for a quality brunch!

So I stopped by Maple brunch Café the other morning, kind of by mistake honestly. I was just walking and trying to wake myself up, and the place looked quiet enough so I just went in without overthinking it. I ended up getting this yogurt bowl thing with strawberries, blueberries, some random berries I didn’t even recognise, and banana slices. It looked a bit too “healthy person on a Sunday morning” for me but it actually tasted way better than I expected. The fruit wasn’t mushy (thank God), and the yogurt wasn’t that sour type that makes you regret everything.

They also gave me this piece of bread with some powder on top… I still have no clue what the powder was. Cinnamon? Sugar? Some café-chef magic dust? I tried guessing but I gave up and just ate it. It was weird in a nice way, like something you wouldn’t ask for but you’re glad you tried.

I got an orange juice too, which basically smacked me awake because it was way stronger than I thought. The place itself felt relaxed, not loud, and the staff didn’t treat me like I was bothering them, which is always a bonus. Honestly, solid breakfast for a random decision.

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.

Supertasty, superfriendly and supercute! There is great presentation and flavours, with  lovely vibes. So good, I returned multiple times, especially since it was handily between my hotel and Bethnal Green tube, takeaway also available.
10/10 wouldn recommend

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.

Beans & Bites

Absolutely amazing brunch place. From the moment we walked in, some of the staff were warm and welcoming. However one staff in particular just placed the menu down in front of us without speaking to us or even looking at us. It was also pretty hard to call a waiter when you needed one. But besides that everything else was fine. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant perfect for a relaxed brunch date.

We ordered the Farmer’s breakfast, the Mediterranean Splash and the Oreo cookies and cream pancake. For drinks we ordered a hot chocolate, a raspberry heaven smoothie and a passion storm smoothie. The Raspberry heaven smooth included Raspberries, blueberries, mango, apple and the Passion storm included  Passionfruit, papaya, pineapple, peach, guava, aloe vera. The mug they served the hot chocolate in was so pretty I wanted to take it home with me.

The food was amazing, so many differently flavours all nicely meshed together. The meal was definitely filling. We didn’t find anything wrong with our meal, it was so good that once we finished it we wanted to get more of the same thing. Instead we tried the Oreo pancake, and it was too good. It wasn’t too sweet and it didn’t lack sweetness either, it was the perfect mix. One of the best, actually no, they are best the best pancakes I’ve ever tasted, I must have more.

I’ll definitely be back and I’d order both again, because I can’t choose between the two. It is on the pricier side but I don’t regret it. You can tell they put real care into every detail, from the service to the plating. This place has definitely become my new go-to brunch spot. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and great aesthetics.

I didn’t get much pictures inside because I was too busy stuffing my face but the decor is really nice. They’ve also got an extension in the back that opens up into a sunroom kind of thing, which is quite nice. The restaurant is spacious and is kept very clean.

We went back to Beans and Bites because of how much I like their pancakes but the Orion size was significantly smaller. The first time I can I got 5 pancakes, this time around I only got 3. Very disappointed with the downgrade especially since it’s still £15. £15 for 5 pancakes is good £15 for 3 is disrespectful.

Beans & Bites, Hackney – A Birthday Breakfast to Remember ★★★★★
My wife decided to treat me to a birthday breakfast, and she absolutely nailed it by taking me to Beans & Bites in Hackney. From the moment we walked in, the place felt special: a stunning living wall of lush greenery, warm pendant lights, and that perfect cosy-yet-Instagrammable vibe that makes you want to linger all morning.
The food? Pure theatre, in the best possible way. They don’t just serve breakfast – they stage it. I went for their famous thick-cut brioche French toast mountain, drenched in pistachio cream, crowned with an upside-down waffle cone “hat”, fresh rose petals, mint, berries, and even a little snowflake decoration. It looked like something out of a fairy tale and tasted even better – fluffy, buttery, indulgent, with that gorgeous nutty pistachio drizzle running everywhere. My wife had the full English platter, beautifully presented with perfect sunny-side-up eggs, crispy halloumi, roast beef bacon, beans, grilled tomatoes, and fruit on the side. Every component was spot-on.
Drinks were just as impressive: a silky hot chocolate with artful swirls and cocoa dusting for me, and an iced pistachio rose latte (served with a cute syringe of extra rose syrup to customise) for her. Both were delicious and ridiculously pretty.
Service was warm, attentive without being overbearing, and they even brought out a little birthday sparkle without us asking – the little touches that make a celebration feel genuinely celebrated.
Beans & Bites calls itself “The Art of Breakfast” and, honestly, that’s exactly what it is: creative, generous, beautifully executed dishes in a space that feels like a mini escape from London life. If you want a breakfast (or brunch) that’s as much a treat for the eyes as it is for the taste buds, this is the spot.
Thank you to my wonderful wife for the perfect birthday morning, and huge thanks to the team at Beans & Bites for making it unforgettable. We’ll be back – probably sooner than our waistlines would like! 😄
Highly, highly recommended.

The best pancakes I ever had! It was my Friend's birthday when we went there September and we had an amazing time. The staff was extremely sweet and accomodating. We went there around the closing time so the place was not too busy but we had the terrace to ourselves!

I am still drooling over our Pistachio Pancakes 😋❤️

There is a huge selection for the food here, and we really wanted to try everything. Food was great, and we were quite satisfied with it. I love how our orders were presented!
Price was mid range (not too cheap, not too expensive). Service was good as well.

Visited for breakfast with my husband. Lovely decor! Plenty of seating available. Great menu options, from traditional breakfasts to wraps, pancakes & waffles. Food & drinks was fresh and good quality and lastly great service. We Will definitely be returning, when in the area.

Rada Coffee & Eatery

Love coming here, the atmosphere is always so cosy and chill, the food never disappoints!!! Drinks were super tasty and food was delicious! The service here is not like anywhere else and they always go above and beyond. I normally come with family and my daughter looks forward to coming here as she loves having the French toast which are so soft and filling! The English breakfast here is like no other in London. Would highly recommend?

I came here for brunch and it was a great experience.The food was delicious, with the brioche Benedict being my absolute favourite; perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The staff were welcoming and attentive. I would highly recommend this place to everyone, and I will definitely bring my family again, In sha Allah.

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!

Rada is such a gem! I had the English breakfast, shakshouka, French toast and coffee, and everything was incredible and full of flavour, beautifully presented and clearly made with care. The staff were so friendly and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed the kind of place you instantly want to come back to. Couldn’t recommend it more for a perfect brunch!

Cute little cafe a stone's throw from Novotel Brentford. Polite staff, delicious food and really good serving sizes for the price!

@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Drunch Mayfair on Instagram

Drunch Mayfair

During festive season we went there for a pist shopping refuel. There was a queue outside to get a table. But it took 10-15 mins to get a table inside. The hostess and servers were friendly and polite, the place was packed and it took. About 10 mi s to get our orders.
I usually go to Drunch  Refents park branch in Saint johns wood which is far more soCioysabd the outdoor spacious is great in comparison. However the buzz of the branch in Mayfair makes up for the cramped space - the tables are very very close to each other h other.

My comps ion ordered the French toast, which was epic and soo delicious. I had fresh mi t tea and egg white onekwttewith mushrooms and tomatoes which was incredibly flavourful. There was an option of gluten free  bread ( extra ) which I took.
We finished of with espresso and mini doughnuts filled with chocakte that is great for sharing and reducing your deset i take.
All in all this is a great place I would pop in for quick  delicious food post shopping in Bobd street area.

Went on a Friday around 10am and the place was full inside, lots of seating outside with heating but it was too cold.  Had an acceptable 10 minute wait which was fine.

Service was super quick, drinks arrived promptly and food followed shortly after.

Overall a lovely experience, staff were pleasant and polite.  Food was good and the juices great.

I’d say slightly pricey, especially as theirs a 12.5% service charge on top.  That said the location is prime and I often question how places like this make money with such high overheads and staffing costs.  So overall I was happy to pay what I did.

I would be sure to return again if I was in the area.

I was here for coffee and dessert, and that's what I got. I got the bobbycino for photo purposes and it was successful in that manner; however, I wouldn’t buy it again. I'm not sure if the flowers on the bobbycino were edible or just for decor, so I pushed them aside. The dessert was definitely better than the coffee and the stuffed bears everywhere are so cute.

I went there in September and honestly loved the vibes and the food, we ordered egg Benedict on bagel, a chicken wrap sandwich (wasn’t my personal favorite  as i don’t like cabbage in sandwiches and this sandwich was my friend’s order and i just tasted) the feta roll (The dough in which it was wrapped in tasted off but i think it isnt their fault and probably when it was purchsed, filo dough are tricky to handle) other than that the filling was delicious and the ambience was great.

The food here was overall decent! I ordered the Mexican Benedict which was absolutely divine😍— as a vegetarian, I really appreciated the fact that they have multiple veg options on the menu. My friend and I also tried the chai pistachio latte, which was equally divine. She ordered the beef tacos with sweet potato fries and enjoyed her meal too.

The downside for us was the experience. The space is quite small and felt congested, and while we were having a deep conversation, staff interrupted us frequently — even asking multiple times if I had finished eating when I had clearly said I wasn’t done yet. That was pretty frustrating. We gave this feedback in person before leaving.

We also wanted to try their shisha but unfortunately it’s only served after 5pm, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall: food and drinks are lovely, but the service could definitely be improved, and the space might feel a little too cramped if you’re looking to relax and chat.

Drunch

Granger & Co. King's Cross

So easy to find, just near King’s Cross Station. We couldn’t book a table in the morning, only walk-ins.

Excellent service. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating - since we wanted to sit inside, the staff gave us a table outside and brought us the menu while we waited. We waited about 20 minutes.

The place is modern, stylish, and nicely decorated.

We had the Ricotta Hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter, and the scrambled eggs with sourdough bread - both were delicious! The pancakes were super fluffy, and I loved how the eggs were cooked.

Even though it was quite busy, our waiter was really attentive and kept topping up our water glasses promptly.

This is a great spot for brunch. I have been here before and once more hasn't let me down. The ricotta pancakes are a must, they were fluffy, light and with the right amount of sweetness. We had as well, a perfectly done scrambled eggs, moist and just delicious.
The service is quite attentive as well, the water was topped up, at all the time without requesting it.
Some people might find this place slightly pricey, but having in consideration the quality of the food is reasonable.
This is a busy restaurant, it is recommended to reserve a table.
Highly recommended.

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.

Famous for good reason. This establishment is across the road from St Pancras, bordering Granary Square - highly convenient and accessible for commuters.

The ricotta pancakes with maple butter are iconic, although I found myself wishing for some salty flavour; I’d suggest adding bacon if the meal wasn’t already on the pricey end. Nonetheless, it delivered.

Note: Due to its popularity, patrons at tables may be asked to move on shortly after finishing their meal to make room for the next customers. You can linger longer on the bar stools if you don’t mind facing the baristas and wait staff.

Sweetcorn fritters are a must try, perfectly done and so delicious. The banana pancake was fluffy and absolutely delish. The bacon wasn’t overly crispy and had less fat, which I personally loved. Both the scrambled eggs and avocado toast were full of flavor and very enjoyable. Service was attentive and good, which made the experience even better. It does get crowded and a bit noisy, so expect some queue from time to time. Overall, a great experience and I’ll definitely be back!

Healthy-eating inspired menu and all-day brunch

The Locals Chelsea

The Locals Chelsea, has a great atmosphere great food with an extensive menu but also not being too overwhelming. The price point for Chelsea is actually very reasonable. The folded eggs are very good. But the star of the show is the matcha pancakes! Staff are very friendly.

Lovely brunch place located in Chelsea we ordered the flatbread with parma ham and the feta avocado toast, it tasted amazing. The matcha chai latte was very comforting. service  and atmosphere were nice and they even give you blankets outside for the cold. Would highly recommend!

We were there for late brekkie on Monday. It has such a nice location, next to the bridge and on the edge of Chelsea. The place itself was big, servers very attentive and quick. We got eggs royal and locals full healthy. Both were delicious but i absolutely loved the sauce on eggs royale. Not so heavy, not so runny; it tasted just on point.

I’m gutted we didn’t have space for matcha pancakes😒 would love to come back again!

Good good, friendly and polite staff. A few burgers along with some toasties and avocado toast on the menu.

I chose the cheese and ham toastie with a side of sweet potato fries with a white coffee. Very good fries, toastie was pleasant and very filling. Should not have ordered the fries as had to doggy bag half the toastie as I couldn't finish it.

Got a big variety of food for our brunch (what’s in the pic plus tea and cake) and every single thing tasted good - both sweet & savoury. Top picks for us were the hot choc, the heart shaped avocado toast (sooo generous) and the chicken sausages. We spent £93 in total but the meal kept us full for the rest of the day!

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

The Locals

Haute Dolci

Attended for a festive treat with my kids. We were seated in a beautiful booth, and given attentive yet unintrusive service throughout. We were treated like valuable customers, which is often not the case when you arrive with a group of children! Every item they chose from the treats menu was available, and their food and drinks arrived really quickly. Portion sizes were perfect for the teens, and take home boxes were supplied for the younger ones for their leftovers.
Dishes looked fantastic, tasted great. Staff encouraged the kids to access the space for photos, and we had a great time. We have already recommended it to others and will certainly return to explore the rest of the menu.

Food is nice as always. I’ve tried their other branches but I must say this one is best because of staff members. Mr Karma served us he is such nice and polite person also Tara(sorry if I misspelled)is lovely girl. I would love to go there again and again 🙏

Had fun celebrating my bday here in Wembley. Served by Hiba who's very friendly and professional. Food was great. Budget friendly. I love the ambiance. Over all perfect.

Absolutely loved! I had a waffle with caramelised banana, cinnamon, vanilla ice cream, chocolate and a few other bits, it was delicious! It was a bit sweet, but perfect to share. Had it with a cappuccino which balanced everything out nicely. The staff were lovely and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

Food was excellent with beautifully presented desserts, and the interior is stunning with a really classy, relaxing atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. The only downside for me was that the prices felt a little on the high side. Overall, a lovely experience and worth a visit if you don’t mind paying a bit extra.

All our food and dessert items are halal.

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent, especially from the staff member who served us — Sangam. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive, which made our visit even more enjoyable. 10/10 for his service.
The venue itself looks like a 5-star hotel — very posh, elegant, and well-presented, which really adds to the overall experience.
We ordered the Christmas menu (£22 per person, including a 2-course meal and a drink), which was very reasonable and good value for money. A lovely touch was choosing a reward card at the end — my friend received 20% off for her next visit, and I got a free dessert, which was a great surprise.
I really enjoyed being there and will definitely visit again, next time with my children. I’ll then give a more detailed review of the food. Overall, a wonderful experience.

We visited this dessert place for my son’s birthday and had waffles and crepes — everything was absolutely delicious! We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. A special shout-out to Rayyan, who provided outstanding service. She served us with a warm smile, was smartly presented, and was truly excellent in her manner and professionalism. She made our visit feel extra special. Highly recommend!

Food and ambience was excellent. Ordered from their lunch menu. Burgers were fresh and tasty and pasta was good. Service and waiters could do better. We had to wait and find someone to provide cutlery or some adjustment to food. Otherwise restaurant was clean, washroom were very clean as well. Overall good experience.

I had a lovely time at Haute Dolci – the desserts were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. I tried the strawberry mocktail, waffles with melted chocolate and strawberries, and some ice cream on the side. Everything looked elegant and was full of flavour, especially the chocolate which was rich and smooth.

The atmosphere is stylish and modern, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy dessert. Service was decent, though it could have been a little quicker. Overall, a great spot for anyone with a sweet tooth – definitely worth visiting if you want a luxury dessert experience.

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!🫶🏻

The food was good but staff were very accommodating and friendly. I hosted my friends here for my birthday and definitely with it. We had the brunch with 1 drink, side desert and main for around £22pp the desert I would say is the best of all

came here after hearing about this place on tiktok. the decor is very unique and classy, everything looks very upper class and pleasing on the eye. however when we sat down, we realised the seats were really dirty, with what looked like smeared chocolate, and that area had a dirty smell too it. so we moved to the other side which was cleaner. we started off with the matilda cake, which was good but dont think it was worth £17, however it was very filling and one cake is more than enough for 2 people. the melted chocolate poured on the cake could have been a bit hotter. then i tried the mango tropique mocktail which tasted sweet and had bits of passion fruit which gave it a tropical flavour.  overall i would recommend this place for dessert but they also do breakfast, lunch and drink options. they also have a prayer room

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 enquired via Event Mngr Syed at this restaurant for an Intimate Celebration of our 25th Anniversary  & was pleased with the manner in which  my special wishes were accommodated. The Ambience was beautiful,  the service was professional & all my guests loved the food.  Nice Chips. & Chicken pasta...😋 The decor & seating is beautiful @ Haute Dolci. Hubby & l were very pleased. They accommodated our Celebratory Cake & non Alcoholic Beverages. Also we were able to add our own touches to the tables..
That l truly appreciated 👏 💐
WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!.
Thanks again Syed & staff.💞

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.

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

This is an amazing little spot for all-day food. I really enjoyed the Bombay Breakfast — it was unique and delicious. The soft brioche bun paired with the spicy keema was perfect and really hit the spot. My friends tried the Classic Breakfast and the Spicy Burger, and they enjoyed their meals as well.

Customer service was excellent, and the team at the front was very polite and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Food: Lovely food. The platter was great and good portions. The chops, pulled beef, strips were yummy. The wings could have been a bit tastier.
Price: Great price for the food and quality.
Atmosphere: Very nice and comfortable. Perfect for couples, families or friends. We went for a birthday and 8 of us ate.
Service: Amazing service. The staff were great and got a complimentary Chai Latte.

Plenty of parking nearby (pay and display), Sunday parking is free ofcourse.

A very busy place on the weekends, popular and amazing food. The food looks stunning and tastes wonderful too. I went for the Bombay Brunch, Spicy Chicken Keema with kidney beans, runny egg, crispy onions, spring onions and buttered brioche buns. The chilli sauce is delicious.

A warm cozy place tucked in the side streets of Ilford. I true gem of a find. Saud in the photo gave hreat service too.

Go and enjoy this place please!

Salim Patel

Our go to place for breakfast and its worth the hype. The full English is always tasty and the portion sizes are very generous. The French toast always hits the spot and almost feels like you're having dessert for breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff and the food was served promptly which is always good when you have kids with you.

Lovely place to meet up with friends for brunch. The food was freshly cooked, well presented, and tasted great. The place was packed, and I can see why — it has a great atmosphere.

The service from the young staff was excellent — they were friendly, very helpful, and accommodating.

Highly recommend!

Everything on our menu is certified halal.

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.

@cravinghalal's review of Eggslut Notting Hill on Instagram

Eggslut Portobello

Loved this so much we had the pork romesco it was delicious I’ve had the cheeseburger at another branch and I would probably say I’d prefer this if I were to order again but the pork belly was cooked really well and the sandwich was super flavourful. You absolutely need to try the truffle hash browns they were so delicious and they were served with a chipotle mayo and siracha ketchup I preferred the ketchup but both were delicious. I also had the strawberry matcha and it was so yummy and not too sweet. We went around midday on a weekday so it was pretty quiet there is not much seating upstairs but they had additional seating downstairs and we were served relatively quickly. I would definitely come again.

Very bad experience, 1st of all, we sat outside, where it is cold, today the temperature is 2° feels like -1°. 2nd, these sandwiches are ridiculously small and tasteless. You have no idea how tasteless they are. They don't make any sense. And for that price !!!. Avoid at all costs. And lastly, the smell of the cooking is suffocating inside, I don't know if the vents are not working and malfunctioning, staff were nice , but 0 experience. I would never go back there.

It's not my first visit to Eggslut on Portabello Road. The hash browns are just as delicious as I remember. My breakfast was perfection as was my daughter's. The eggs are cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere. The orange juice is so fresh and super delicious 😋

The line out the door should tell you it’s good. It was worth the wait and the line moved pretty quickly. Bacon egg and cheese on brioche with a side of truffle hasbrowns are the way to go. Friendly staff and great coffee too.

The food is genuinely delicious, I absolutely loved it!!  and the prices are very reasonable…. However, I’m giving it three stars because there were TWO mice in the back area of the restaurant, where there is also outdoor seating, which was quite concerning. Hygiene should always come first, and for that reason alone I couldn’t give it five stars. It’s a real shame, because the food itself is excellent.

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

Eggslut Fitzrovia

Amazing breakfast/lunch place!! Egg lovers gotta come here cus omg the eggs are perfection. Amazing service, order comes so quickly, nice atmosphere, cheap (for central London) prices!! Would deffo recommend for a quick lunch or a date!! And they have student discount!!!

Eggscellent as always the food is absolutely delicious I would highly recommend the truffle hash browns you taste the truffle immediately and you get five which I think is a pretty reasonable price and they’re a reasonable size. I also had the cheeseburger and it was so flavourful and I liked the touch of gherkins with the egg. My friend had the fairfax which she enjoyed although it was a little messy to eat there are forks available. The iced matcha was made well and not too milky. We did have to queue for a while but we went in the lunch rush and it quieted down quite quickly with many people taking their food to go we managed to get a seat very easily and there is additional seating upstairs. I would recommend if you enjoy a variety of different eggs or truffle hash browns.

Lovely place and staff. The seating is upstairs but spacious. Food was great too. The prices are not cheap though. Staff brought us the order to the table upstairs, and they always checked that all tables are clean.

Really lucky to track down the elusive egg truffle sandwich. This shop has short hours during weekdays compared to most restaurants in the area but I was glad to get served for a takeaway during their closing time unlike the restaurant in Victoria where only 1 out of 3 times did they not run out of ingredients (by 3pm on a Saturday)  / kitchen not close (by 7pm). Staff are very friendly and needless to say the sandwich was absolutely delicious and filling!

An excellent option for breakfast. Orders are usually processed quickly. The ground floor is often crowded, but you'll find a nicer, more suitable table upstairs.

Eggslut Shoreditch

I happened to visit this place after reading a lot of positive reviews and I must admit they didn't prove those reviews wrong. I was immensely impressed with the quality of dishes they serve out to customers. Richmond was the waiter and he was super sweet, quick and passionate. The ambience is also well close to a cozy morning breakfast café. The dishes I ordered were the sausage egg and cheese sandwich with added bacon and the egg salad sandwich. Both these dishes slammed the ball out of the park. The quality of the brioche buns, the way they cooked and seasoned the eggs along with the meat is absolutely worth savouring. A bit expensive but the flavour of the plated dishes spoke louder. Nonetheless, if they increase their prices more than their prevailing prices, it will be an event of jeopardy. In a gist, I would definitely visit them quite often as I'm an egg lover and this place, if maintains it's standard, pricing and quality of cooking and serving good egg sandwiches, is a paradise for egg lovers.

Absolutelty amazing flavour. We got the pork burger, the egg and the sauce are amazing, would really rec. The french toast was insanely soft on the inside whilst crispy on the outside, and the custard dip was amazing. Would 1000% come again

This was a lovely place, highly recommended! Honestly, had the pork Romesco and it was fresh, good - honestly want to have it again.
Chef - Jirina, was so welcoming and jolly. Go to the Shoreditch Branch!
Will definitely be back.

The food was amazing…the staffs were all amazing a huge shoutout to Jirina who looked after us as well as Aneesah she was wonderful.

I would likely recommend this to my friends and family as it’s an amazing place to grab a bite of to from.

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.

Chapters London

We visited Chapters for brunch and, unfortunately, it was a pretty mediocre experience overall. Nothing particularly stood out in a positive way, and one dish in particular left a very poor impression.
We ordered the mac and cheese as a side, but when it arrived it had an extremely pungent smell that was immediately off-putting. Upon tasting it, it was exceptionally bitter, and the odor was genuinely hard to tolerate. When we raised this with the waitress, she explained that it was made with blue cheese and was “supposed” to taste like that. We’re familiar with blue cheese, but this didn’t seem right at all,  the smell was unbearable and really suggested that something was off.
Overall, not a great experience, and unfortunately it left us feeling uneasy about the quality of the food. We won’t be rushing back.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After walking around for 30 minutes trying to find a place for breakfast we stumbled across tab x tab. And so glad we did. The staff are so friendly and happy to serve. The food was great everyone enjoyed it and they had a good selection of vegan options and different milks. My only feedback is it took a long time between coffee and food to arrive. But will be back for sure

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💯

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.

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

Full English breakfast with a Bangladeshi twist

.
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

Cozy and cute food spot with very lovely staff! You get tasty and filling breakfast for a really decent price. Paid just over 20 quid for me and a friend.
Can highly recommend the scramble and any bagel!

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.

Just had the most delicious breakfast. Fast and friendly service too! Highly recommend. Poached eggs cooked to perfection and an excellent coffee also. Very reasonable prices too.

great breakfast and coffee! staff was very polite and attentive. beautiful litttle breakfast spot that I would definitely recommend!🩵

A small and cozy spot where you can enjoy breakfast all day long. Delicious food, generous portions, and no pork bacon on the menu. The coffee is really good too, but there are only about 12–13 seats inside — so if you’re lucky, you’ll find a spot

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

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)

Tiny cute space, with different pastries. It’s good. Pretty expensive for what it is but it’s London.

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.

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

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. 😬😂

@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

Decided to give this business a try after a friend suggested it was good. However, i happened to find that the previous comments about service and the waitresses are sadly true. There are a few of them and although not all were unprofessional, there was one who led us in (without a welcoming smile) and another who carelessly dumped our plates in front of us.

Regarding my plate, I’ve had better french toast in many other places and this one is surely on the list to avoid in the future!

A standout spot for quality brunch with flavorful, well-executed dishes. Expect a queue it’s popular for good reason but the food largely justifies the wait.Highlights:  Jerk chicken burger juicy, boldly spiced, and satisfying.
French toast – the star: plush brioche soaked to perfection, crowned with a vibrant mix of fresh fruits.

Low point:
The matcha latte was disappointing gritty, coarse, and among the weakest I’ve had. Quality here needs urgent refinement. Excellent mains make this a strong brunch contender. Come for the food, skip the matcha. Recommended with patience and selective ordering.

Husband and I came here on a busy Sunday morning where there was queues outside. We quickly got in as a table for 2 which was good.

We ordered a full English, French toast, mocha and a latte. I enjoyed my full English but did not enjoy the turkey rashers, tasted too plasticy. The real shocker came with the French toast, most of it was inflated air so not filling at all. The jam on top of the French toast was really nice though.

One thing I found incredibly off putting were the salt and pepper shakers on the table, they were so sticky with layers on gunk that I couldn't clean my hands properly.

Was here for lunch on a weekday. Quite cozy and staff were friendly and helpful. Ordered smoked salmon with poached eggs and a side order of sweet potato fries which were great. The area is quite busy.

I don’t know how to start, but the classic beef English breakfast really needs improvement. The beef sausage was flavourless, felt like something from Tesco just cooked and served. The only things I liked were the scrambled eggs, sourdough, and tomato. Honestly, it was just alright, and I don’t get why it’s so popular. I’d recommend picking something else other than the classic beef English breakfast.

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.

The place is beautiful. Good choice for a birthday for 10-15 people. Food is simple and ok. No bacon as they are halal. Pancakes probably the best dish. Went there twice, and both times I feel they didn't understand 100% the order, as English is not their best skill. However, one of the times, they offer free changes and are always flexible and friendly. If you want good photos,  and eat something,  recommend for sure.  Don't expect Michelin level.

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 visited Woodland Cafe on Tuesday 28th October with my family. I am pleased with the quality of the food, I’m not surprised with how delicious it was as this is the second time I’ve visited. The staff member we had - a lovely blonde girl - was outgoing, extremely friendly throughout our interactions and maintained a smile all throughout. She was well thoughtful and had asked if any of my family members or myself, had any allergies before we had managed to order which was really considerate of her! This is the second time I’ve visited, as mentioned previously, and I am very pleased with my experience in the cafe.

I visited Woodland Cafe for the first time last week and I had an amazing experience! The food was well prepared, the staff member that served my friend and I (a blonde girl), was well educated on the menu and was extremely helpful when asked for recommendations. She was charismatic, maintained professionalism and her service was quite speedy! I hadn't expected to receive my food as efficiently as I did.
I would definitely visit again as I am especially pleased with the friendliness of the staff and the positive atmosphere that i felt during my visit at Woodland Cafe. Thank you
