@halalfoodlondon's review of Tim Hortons Park Royal on Instagram

Tim Hortons

Visited Tim Hortons after a movie at Odeon Acton in Royale Leisure Park. This is a 24-hour drive-through location with self-service touchscreens and a busy flow of both drive-in and in-store customers.

I ordered Lattice Fries, a customised Meatless Burger, and a customised Iced Capp. Food quality was good and prepared promptly.

What really stood out was the service. Pulkit, one of the attendants, was extremely attentive, calm, and efficient while managing both drive-through and in-store orders. The entire team handled the rush very smoothly. It genuinely felt like a well-run outlet, and I wish there were a better way to formally appreciate staff like him.

However, there is a very serious issue with the touchscreen menu that needs immediate attention. The screen lists “Hot Honey Lattice Fries”, which automatically goes into the order with no option to customise or review ingredients. Despite the name, this item contains ham hock pieces, making it non-vegetarian. This is highly misleading and could easily result in unintended orders, complaints, or even legal issues, especially given the presence of pork. The menu labelling and flow urgently need correction.

Overall, a very good experience thanks to the staff and service standards. I’m giving 4 stars today, with the missing star solely due to the touchscreen menu fiasco. Fix that, and this would easily be a 5-star visit.

My first evet Tim Hortons. It is a great spot for food, coffee, desserts and snacks, with staff who are always friendly and welcoming. Service is fast and efficient, even during busy times, and prices are very reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and family friendly, making it a nice place to sit and relax. Overall, it’s a reliable and enjoyable stop that combines good food, warm service, and a comfortable vibe.

The food was good, but the restaurant was not clean and the toilets were very dirty, far below the expected standard. I visited in the morning, so it wasn’t even a busy time if this is the condition early in the day, I can imagine how it might be later. Very disappointed, and I won’t be returning.

Very bad, rude employee, he is the wrong person for the right place Everything is bad in my favorite place and I have not visited it and I will not visit any other branch in the future. Everything seems good but the workers are very bad. The time now is 12:22
The place is good, but the workers, especially this person, if you enter the place, try not to ask anything from him. Ask someone else It seems that he has not received respect yet. He needs to be updated Half the iced coffee was cream and half ice and with food coloring I guess it had no taste

I went to the Tim Hortons in Park Royal and saw a fly on one of the donuts. It was disgusting and completely put me off. Flies carry germs and diseases, so this is a big hygiene problem.

I didn’t buy anything after that. I just walked away because if the food on display isn’t clean, it makes you wonder what’s happening in the kitchen.

Do the big bosses at Tim Hortons even know what’s going on in their store? It really doesn’t look like they do. A health and safety inspector should come and inspect this place it’s not acceptable for food to be left like that.

I hope Tim Hortons looks into this properly. Customers should feel safe eating there, not worried about hygiene.

We don’t promote our restaurants or meat as Halal approved. However, our Tims Crispy Chicken, Tims Chicken Tenders and Tims Turkey Hot Dog are sourced from suppliers whose products are certified as Halal by religious authorities. Other meats sold at Tim Hortons are not Halal.

Fait Maison Mayfair

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Prashant Timalsina for the excellent hospitality and outstanding service.

We ordered the following for breakfast:
• Foul
• Shakshouka
• Cheese and honey pastry
• Karak

Without exaggeration, this is one of the best breakfast restaurants we have tried. Every single dish was incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The overall experience was truly enjoyable, and we will definitely be coming back.

Lots of seating inside and some outside.  We went for dinner on a Saturday evening,  it wasn't that busy,  weather was pleasant for  December, we sat outside.

The beef stroganoff and the lamb shank biriyani was very delicious 😋😋😋, highly recommend  to try those.  Pasta with chicken was okay, tasted a bit oily.  Portion size was good.   Loved the dips that came with the dishes, right level of heat in the mint and tomato dip.

Only letdown is,  no mint chocklate with the bill 😞

The food was amazing. We ordered the Turkish breakfast and halloumi cheese and both dishes arrived in a timely manner. My Moroccan mint tea tasted exactly like the ones they serve in Moroccan - sugar and mint in a nice silver pot! The restaurant is also beautifully decorated with a lot of flowery decors, it reminded me of the cafes in Paris.

PLEASE READ - Losing two stars because the server did not mention to us that service charge was already included so, we double tipped him. Not going to be back because this was very dishonest of the server.

The que is long but goes away quickly. I had the eskandrani Kibda was extrodinary if you like kibda and cheese. I also had Yousef something a a breakfast that is sweet, its paratha with cheese and honey was great. The service is great.

I had a fantastic breakfast here! The shakshuka, while a unique twist on the traditional version, was bursting with flavor and beautifully balanced. The egg and turkey croissant stood out as well, with its perfectly flaky pastry and savory, satisfying filling.
They have a nice variety of options on the menu. The place itself is clean, bright, and very inviting.

@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.

FiLLi Cafe Islington

Very small cafe, super delicious 😋 Zaffran tea, I enjoyed the masala fries too. Yes, they are just very plain French fries with a bit of masala spice sprinkled on them, but they taste good! The chicken burger was spicy but very delicious too. It felt a bit too fattening to have every day, but every now and then - why not!
Will definitely return to try other items on the menu. The food arrived very quickly too.

I’m a huge fan of the Filli café brand and always visit when i’m in the middle east. I was so excited in to be able to have Filli in London on my visit here. The café is nice and clean (only a bit small) and staf is super kind. Ordered my favourites; a karak chai and Samosa Chaat and they did not dissapoint!

Karthik is an amazing customer service representative. He has great product knowledge and incredible with his service so much so that i bought the matcha coconut and mango and it bangs. Will be back again for sure to try the food. Also good and cosy working space as well!!

The karak chai was the best I’ve ever had, except from auntie (I have to say that, actually it was better). Perfect spicing. They use condensed milk so it’s nice and sweet. I also had chicken foodles, which was HOT, but tasty. Great staff. Credit to the area.

Excellent service , coffee really good ,masalh chai is a bit sweet but really lovely ,  and the food looks really homemade,fresh and tasty -good value for money!

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

Branché London

This is, without a doubt, the best place to get a meal on the high street. Me and my daughter were feeling quite hungry so I suggested we come here. She ordered fries, mozzarella sticks and a smoothie and I ordered a simple hot chocolate. And when we were finished my daughter said that they were some of the best mozzarella sticks she’s had in her life. We totally recommend coming here. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Lovely ambience, modern decor. The food was decent, we had the smashed avocado poached egg croissant 4/10. Smash burger and chips 8/10. Dubai chocolate French toast 7/10
Crème brûlée French toast 7/10. Pistachio tiramisu French toast 8/10.

It was extremely busy when we visited, however the food came within 20min. Staff were polite.

We spent little under £70 that is without any hot or cold drinks, a treat once in a while for that kind of price for 2 children and 2 adults.

The creme brulee French toast was honestly one of the best I've ever had!

We will be back for more, incredible food with a brilliant atmosphere and service. Each plate of food was well thought out and delicious!

Lovely place and service. Food tastes amazing, just wish there was more variety on the menu. More original dishes would be great. French Tacos are great! I love "the healthy" one.

Food was good value for money. Service was ok. But Coffee was bad. I ordered a cortado they sent it in a latte glass and the coffee was bitter. That means the the grinder wasn’t calibrated.

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.

Granger & Co

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.

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.

Maple

Naan Staap

We visit here a couple of times every week. It's always a great experience. The karak chai is truly a reflection of authentic Pakistani tea. The food is always fresh and delicious.
Would recommend every one to try if you want true Pakistani flavor.

Great food and a really cozy atmosphere. The place feels welcoming and comfortable, making it a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely worth visiting again.

The food was so good. It was served quickly and freshly made. The karak was perfect, and the service and vibes were great. I look forward to coming back again to try more dishes.

I ordered from Naan Stop through Uber Eats, and I’m really disappointed with the pink tea. It was literally like hot water — completely uncooked, no taste, and no proper color. It didn’t resemble pink tea at all. I’ve attached a picture for reference — it looks exactly how it tasted: just plain water. Very poor quality and not worth the money.

Absolutely loved my experience at Naan Staap Harrow! The food was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. I tried the chilli cheese naan and paneer paratha, and both were packed with authentic taste and spices. The naans were soft, perfectly cooked, and stuffed generously.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick even though the place was busy. The variety on the menu is great, especially for vegetarians like me. I also appreciated the clean and cosy atmosphere—it’s perfect for a casual meal or takeaway.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for delicious, high-quality
street food with a modern twist. Definitely coming back soon!

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

Sable d'Or

We came to have breakfast and the avocado toast was great, my boyfriend had the French toast and it was amazing. Plenty of savoury options but also lots of patries. We tried a pear pastry and the red velvet muffin and they were lovely. Staff and ambience was also really good. Lovely place.

Noticed this french looking patisserie, food looked amazing, looked expensive but its not, i had a full breakfast , what came was a large plate of free range eggs, fresh spinach with dressing , mushrooms, organic toms , baked beans, merguire sausage and sour dough bread , filled whole plate. Top class breakfast in a top class neighbourhood. A proper french breakfast.  Thank you

Very overpriced for the quality and taste of food. The bread was crumbly compared to what you'd expect from sourdough. The ham option was disappointing compared to many other places. And the taste was bland.

It's a nice atmosphere but very, very overpriced cafe for what you get which is possibly a bit worse than area average. £5 for mocha is a bit insane. But I guess it's what you get that close to Primrose hill. Many much better tasting food cafes for same or less money in the area

I LOVE this cafe. We stumbled across it due to our Airbnb being around the corner. We found ourself just coming back due to the service. He remembered our order which was delicious coffee and pastries!!! Couldn’t recommend this place enough 😍😍😍😍

Best English breakfast I had in London, in such a cozy, warm place run by lovely people.

Everything on our menu is Halal and vegan. Our suppliers are Tiba Food.

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.

Chaiiwala Dalston

It was a cold day today so I decided to pop in to CHAIWALA in Kingsland road Dalston . I was served by a lovely guy called
ShahidUl . He was friendly professional respectful and genuine . Definitely pop in to say hi and have a chai . I ordered hash brown & karak chai .The venue is clean & smells nice & fresh. Good vibe .

First time trying Chai and do not regret it one bit! It was really flavourful and customer service was top notch! gave the chance to try the flavours before making my choice. I also had the Aloo Paratha and it was amazing! Definitely recommend this place

I had a wonderful experience at Chaiiwala Dalston! The food was delicious as always — fresh, flavourful, and perfectly served. What really stood out, though, was the amazing customer service. Naima was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

Just had a fantastic meal at this place. The flavors were incredible, and the whole experience was great. Highly recommend!

I love the vibe of the place. I like that there is good space to study and have my chai while I do it.
I like that it's open till 2am.
The staff is warm and friendly
Special shout out to Naima whe is very kinda, friendly and helpful.

Chaiiwala

A good wholesome proper Chai (Karak chai) well run, well branded with a good menu for all and families. One of the original’s and one of the best in London. Also… Great service from Aslam as always 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏿 **Please keep up the lovely warm friendly family friendly environment (with no music) that way we can hear each other speak.

A lovely little place right opposite the famous Kings Head pub in Tooting. Serving a variation of Pakistani breakfast dishes & assorted street food. Highly recommended.

A Masterclass in Mediocrity

The chai? Surprisingly good - credit where it’s due.

The parathas? Perfectly reheated straight from the freezer aisle. The masala chips? A true masterpiece of sogginess, drenched in enough sauce to make you forget they were once potatoes. The samosa chaat? Let’s just say I had no idea what I was eating.

Why bother with authentic, tasty, or freshly made food when we have Chaiiwala branches to remind us how low our expectations can go? If you’re just after chai, great - skip the food and save yourself the regret.

I had great experience here. Tried karak chai with anday wala burger😁. Such an amazing taste and service.
Highly recommended. 👍

Wonderful service, warm and very spacious quite good for large gatherings and uni students. Abdullah was quite friendly and welcoming when we went. Definitely recommend if you’re look for a quick tea break or a place to sit down and talk.

Masala Chai Nashta x Curry In A Box

Travelled quite a bit after seeing this on Instagram few days ago, on the website and google it said that it opens at 9.15, when we got there it was closed, we waited for 5 minutes and it was still closed, we tried calling the number on google and no one was answering, we waited a little longer and was about to give up and walked away, after looking back a few minutes later they opened at 9.30, if they’re late they should’ve put a sign on the shop. The food was nice and very hot (temperature) when it arrived. Food took roughly 15 minutes to arrive after we ordered, we started eating and after few minutes realised we didn’t get the keema side that we ordered, they had forgotten about it, when it arrived we was very disappointed, taste wise it was nice, but they charged us £4 for a very tiny bowl, it was not worth that price considering that the whole breakfast meal cost £10.95 which included the karak coffee too. The coffee was nice but it left a little aftertaste in the month and tongue after each sip. The cafe is a good size with lots of seating area and staff gave good service.

Lovely staff - I've never waited long for food but go in weekdays, 10 minutes for this? Imo quick. Such tasty fresh food, very fair value for what you receive. Most reliable in the area

I run a seniors club @ south woodford islamic  center.
I ordered masalla egg with roti and masalla  tea.our seniors  really enjoyed the breakfast. Will be ordering  again as a monthly.

The meal was enjoyable, particularly the paratha and omelette, and the chai was delicious. The only issue I had was that the menu is not clearly labelled. For example, we wanted masala potatoes with our desi nashta but were told that this was only available on the weekend.

I thought the food was amazing, the guy  was happy to help me with selecting food. I was only working in the area, and stopped by chance, after reading online reviews. I was not disappointed. Not much choice but the food was delicious. At a great value. It was that good, I went back  a second time. Definitely worth a visit..

We are HMC approved. This means our entire menu and supply-chain is certified Halal according to HMC standards. No traces of pork or alcohol in the store.

Lumi Camden

We’re always looking for halal brunch spots and after seeing @lumicamden all over Instagram, we finally visited them to try out The Fry Up. 
A classic English breakfast, with all the right components and a generous portion without feeling too greasy or heavy. Definitely a cafe worth visiting, good food, aesthetic interior and great customer service !

@cravinghalal's review of LUMI Camden on Instagram

LUMI Camden

Perfect place for a breakfast. We came in at 8.20am. Please be aware that later in the day, it becomes very busy and you will struggle to get a table straight away.

We looked up this place to eat for the Sunday morning on our trip to London near where we were staying. We can honestly say it was beautiful. Very happy with the great quality food. The service was good. Prices were more than worth for the quality. 100% recommended!

What an incredible café! We had the best mums’ day out to celebrate the start of my 40th with my absolute beauties – my sister and two cousins who flew all the way from America just for me 🥰.

We’d travelled down from Milton Keynes, queued for about 30 minutes (it was packed!), and were absolutely starving after only having Buzzballs on the train 😂. We were buzzing with excitement for a proper London day out together.

We were looked after by the sweetest girl – I think her name was Riya (sorry if I got that wrong!), but honestly she was an absolute angel. She seated us at a table for four at first, but we spotted the gorgeous decorated dome area which looked so peaceful. It was meant for 6–8 people, but when we explained it was a super special reunion after years apart, she completely understood and kindly let us have it. We were over the moon!

As soon as she heard my cousins had come from America, she brought us welcome drinks on the house – such a thoughtful, warm gesture that really showed the café’s lovely culture and hospitality.

We ordered something (can’t even remember what now!) that unfortunately wasn’t available, and we were a tiny bit disappointed, but she immediately surprised us with complimentary desserts that totally made our day. Everything was served quickly, the presentation was stunning, and the food tasted incredible.

The whole experience was pure joy from start to finish. We were so grateful to our server that we left her £35 as a thank-you for making our celebration so memorable. Can’t recommend this place enough – we’ll definitely be back!

We came as a family to London for a visit and we were staying near this brunch place, someone we know recommended it and it was so worth it. We had the medi brunch, chicken halloumi, meat club and some French toast and pancakes. The service was perfect, very kind people the food was absolutely delicious definitely recommend having a try.

Had a lovely time here with my friend! We both enjoyed the food and the service was amazing. Slightly crowded on a weekday afternoon, definitely recommend going there earlier in the day to avoid having to wait for a table

Full halal menu! Food was 10/10!
By far the best Spanish latte in London!
The sister and brother that served us were super attentive, courteous, and just lovely people.

Nice open kitchen that added to the lovely atmosphere. This is me and my wife’s new favourite brunch spot!

Thank you for the wholesome hospitality and delicious food!

@halalfoodbae's review of Apple Butter Cafe Covent Garden on Instagram

Want to know the Best Halal places to eat in Covent Garden? We've got you covered!

Top Brunch spot:
@applebuttercafe has a queue of eager diners trying to get their taste buds wrapped around gorgeous dishes such as 'Truffle Scrambled Eggs' or 'Wagyu Beef Burger'. Full Halal Food Menu.

Top Ice Cream spot:
@darlishicecream are back at Covent Garden, serving up some stunning unique flavours of ice cream. Saffron Rose is AMAZING! Plus I love their Sour Cherry.

Top Burger spot:
At long last @honestburgers finally has Halal chicken across all their brunches, and the chicken is damn good. Succulent and flavoursome chicken burgers that won't leave you feeling heavy like some burgers might.

@halal_chronicles's review of Apple Butter Cafe Covent Garden on Instagram

Apple Butter Cafe

The dishes we tried were all hits - Shakshuka was flavorful and perfectly cooked, Egg Florentine was a delightful twist, Crème Brûlée French Toast was a sweet indulgence, and the pancake with ginger was a lovely surprise. The warm ambience and welcoming staff made the experience even better. A great spot for a cozy breakfast or brunch in London.  Prepare to queue.

A great breakfast spot in central London. We walked in and waited around 30 to 40 minutes, but it was worth it.

The food was really good. I had the falafel on brioche bread and my partner had the egg bagel. Both were delicious, but the real highlights were the lemonade and the coffee, absolutely perfect. We also shared a croissant, which was fine but nothing special.

Overall, the breakfast was great, the service was lovely, and the setting was magnificent.

Well, it’s been a while since I wrote a review — especially a bad one — but I feel I have to take the initiative and protect my fellow foodies.

After waiting 90 minutes in a line full of Gulf visitors (my people!), I should have taken the hint. Everyone was clearly working through the same TikTok “must-try” list. I don’t mind waiting — I once waited 120 minutes for gyoza in Kyoto and it was absolutely worth it.
This, however, was not.

The food was sub-par across the board.
•	The “special pancake” (they push it aggressively since it’s the only weekly flavor) is a failed imitation of the fluffy Japanese pancake. Instead of airy and cloud-like, it was dense, heavy, and borderline doughy.
•	The “melted cheese sandwich” arrived unmelted, soggy, and without the slightest hint of crispiness.
•	The halloumi and hash browns tasted like straight-from-the-freezer products.
•	The falafel… no comments.

Overall: Overhyped. Underwhelming. Not worth the wait. TikTok made it famous, not the quality.

I wouldn’t recommend setting high expectations for trendy London food spots. My experience at Apple Butter Cafe was underwhelming. The smell inside the restaurant was unpleasant and made the space feel a bit suffocating. The food was average and didn’t justify the hype or popularity. On the positive side, the staff were polite, professional, and welcoming. We visited early, so it wasn’t crowded, but the prices were relatively high compared to similar breakfast cafés in London.

Let me put it right off the bat, it lives up to the hype. A popular cafe went viral, with people lining up for hours for simple food among the many alternatives in the area. At the end of the day, the namesake pancake is a calorie-dense bomb, I assume we all refrained from it recently, yet having it for the sake of “I was there”. Cool, the system is functioning properly. I was there, but scheduled it for a Monday morning at least to skip the wait, and it worked well. I was directed to the table right away. I will put anything special for the food bec for me the social media frenzi has stolen the main role. Good job. One of the “done and dusted” experiences for me.

Naan Staap®

I used to go there quite frequently for their chai. I was never a huge fan of their breakfast, but yesterday my friend and I ordered chicken karahi naan, which unfortunately was not fresh.

On her very first bite, my friend said there was something wrong with it. I tasted it but didn’t notice anything at first. By the time she had eaten half of the naan, I took a bite of the chicken and immediately noticed it was sour. That’s when I realised it wasn’t fresh.

I informed the receptionist, but he insisted that they always use fresh ingredients. However, after two hours, we both became sick, started vomiting, and had to take medication.

I was really disappointed and have decided to completely boycott this restaurant.

Very good taste Reminds about Pakistan ♥️ tea is amazing ♥️
Harisa and chicken jalfarazi is amazing. Just one thing please add raita too in the menu. It will double the taste.

This was one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I have had in London. The staff communicated in an unprofessional and discourteous manner and were unable to manage orders efficiently. Despite repeated inquiries, no clear or reasonable estimated waiting time was provided, and customers were simply told to wait without proper explanation. I strongly recommend that the restaurant invest in proper staff training, particularly in customer communication, time management, and service standards. Improving staff behaviour and professionalism would greatly enhance the overall customer experience.

Me and my friends went there for breakfast. At first we felt like the items were a bit pricey. Although we ordered chicken jalferezi, lamb bhuna, anarkali daal and naan.  After receiving our food we were pretty much disappointed with the portion. It was so little for our expectation.  And lastly the taste was mediocre, we had higher expectations for this store and the brand. We couldn't finish our food and left it without any takeaway.

This was our first visit with family of 3. We had good time and enjoyed the taste of foods, gentleman who was serving us made our food time more enjoyable with his friendly and informative service from the till as well as was getting feedback about how was the food.

A completely less than average experience. We stopped by after an appointment at the nearby hospital, got two karak teas and a chicken cheese naan (around £12 total). The teas were pleasant. The naan took a while to make - after ten minutes we asked the lady behind the counter how long and she said 10-15 minutes! For a naan that is crazy, makes me think it is pre made and cooked from frozen. Then when the food finally arrived, we were the only ones in the shop and she called the order out, for us to collect it from the counter. There is literally no service here - minimal unhelpful interaction. The naan itself was super greasy and you could not taste any chicken whatsoever.

If you’re craving quick, flavour-packed comfort food, this place is such a win. The naan is soft, fresh, and perfectly cooked — not dry, not chewy — and the fillings are generous and full of flavour. Every bite feels warm, indulgent, and satisfying without being too heavy. Perfect for quick lunch we had cholaa bhatura 🩷

Awful experience. The main door is broken and doesn't shut properly, so the entire store is freezing, especially in mid-December. There was no heating, and it was extremely uncomfortable inside. The tables were also very dirty and stained, which made the place feel unhygienic.

I also ordered a karak chai which used to be around £1.50, but I was charged £3.20 for a medium. That price increase is unbelievable and doesn't match the quality or experience. Really disappointing.

We had been on our way to get take away kebab rolls from Tayyabs, which is our go-to place in the area.  However, it was raining and miserable and we didn't fancy eating out in the rain. I hate eating in at Tayyabs but that's another review, so we saw this interesting looking place with amazing looking karak chai in the window so we ducked in. It was quite empty when we arrived and we had a ponder and ordered a stuffed bread each and a couple of chai.
We were 4 people and we had the achari chicken naan, potato and cheese naan, lamb qeema masala naan and lamb dum paratha. We tried both the masala and karak chai, and it was great there are full flavour, less sugar and no sugar options!
We had the less sugar, and it was plenty sweet enough!
There's a clean loo and nice clean tables and booths.
We were still hungry so ordered a portion of bhatura, which is 3 pieces and only £1.95!
We had channay, with egg on top, but the flavour wasn't one we were used to, so that was the only dish we weren't so keen on.
To finish, we had to try the karak maska, which wasn't on the menu, but we saw it on a screen advert, which was clotted cream sandwiched between 2 pieces of brioche bread loaf, and a cutting chai cupful of karak chai to pour over the top.  You then eat with a spoon.
Utterly divine!
Would highly recommend and would also go out of my way to go here. There are a few branches around London, but none really in convenient locations to me, just like with some of the other mini chains of desi places. :(
The service was very polite and super patient with the inevitable uncle complaining about the cost of a cup of chai, but seriously the quality of the chai was top notch, possibly made with condensed milk, and so delicious and mouth watering, I couldn't fault it at all.

We visited NaaAn Stap and ordered Aloo Paratha, Palak Paneer Paratha, Lamb Gravy, Cajun Naan, and Karak Chai. The Aloo Paratha was decent, and the sauce on the side was nice. Unfortunately, the rest of the food was quite disappointing. The Lamb Gravy was far too oily — it felt like it had way too much ghee, which made it heavy and unpleasant. The Palak Paneer Paratha wasn’t good either. On top of that, the customer service was slow, which made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, apart from the Aloo Paratha and sauce, the food and service left much to be desired.

Which Wich Superior Sandwiches

Which Wich Superior Sandwiches really impressed me with its freshness and variety. The bread was soft and flavorful, with different cuts to choose from, and the sandwich fillings tasted just as fresh. I loved how you could customize everything to your preference, which made it feel like a meal made exactly for me.

On top of the sandwiches, I was pleasantly surprised by their cakes and coffee. Both were a great addition and made the whole experience more enjoyable. It’s a spot that feels healthy yet still indulgent, and I’d happily come back whenever I’m craving a wholesome but tasty bite.

We ordered a bacon 🥓 muffin which tasted mouth watering.
It arrived very fast and very hot.
Also an ultimate breakfast muffin which was bacon 🥓 sausage  and one egg.
My friend ate this one he said the sausage was juicy and tasted very good.
The egg 🥚 Yolk was hot and runny and tasted very nice.
10/10 Will be back soon.

An amazing sandwich spot to grab a quick bite to eat. Pair with side of fries or chips and your favorite beverage!!!!

-chicken sandwich: 7/10, didn’t originally order this but might be my new protein choice it was really good and juicy
-fries: 7/10, salted to perfection and crispy

We visited the Tottenham Court Road location – it’s a busy area, but we easily found a table. Service was quick, and the staff were really helpful.
I had the Shrimp sandwich and it was excellent, while my friend had a vegetarian option and really enjoyed it. The chips came in massive portions – great for sharing!
Love the whole concept of customisable sandwiches, and the friendly staff/atmosphere, good prices,  makes it a place we’d happily come back to. Thank you.

We got the philly cheesesteak and roast beef with mushrooms. Both sandwiches were really great! Hot throughout, bread was perfectly toasted and the fillings were tasty. There was a very polite server, we didn’t catch his name but he was very friendly. We will be coming again in the future for sure! I would say always go large as you definitely get your money’s worth when compared to the size of a regular

The chicken is halal and we have a few seafood options as well. We are aiming to make the meat halal soon as well!

Brigit's Bakery & Afternoon Tea Bus Tours

We had an excellent time at Brigit’s.  We had 11 people for Afternoon Tea.  They were incredible organized, and had 5 star communication and service.  The Christmas Tea was delicious and the addition of Christmas crackers at the table was a nice touch.  They did an excellent job accommodating the various rotary requirements of the group.  As a group, our students loved the scones, but didn’t love the sandwiches as much.  But I think everyone has different tastes and preferences and that isn’t a reflection on Brigit’s and the quality of food and care they provided to their work.  Would definitely recommend them.

We went for the Grinchmas afternoon tea with Brigit Bakery aboard the London bus which left promptly on time from Victoria Coach Station. From the moment of checking in, the staff were so friendly and helpful (not grumpy at al like the Grinch!!) that we set off on a merry note.
As I am a photo freak, the drivers and staff on board, really helped take some nice photos. And the food was amazing!!
We also had a choice of hot and cold drinks (alcohol must be pre- ordered) and loved the lemon-ginger tea in the cold weather. The guide on board gave us a description of all the important landmarks which was a real bonus!
And in the end we get to sing the Grinch carol!
Despite being adults we enjoyed every bit, something we couldn't do when we were children! So thank you.

Flew into London with my wife before the Christmas holiday. We wanted to do something fun and festive with a tea service and came across this grinch themed bus tour. The staff and food were excellent. My wife has a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate. JP and his staff did an excellent job of keeping the tour, fun and engaging for all ages. We would definitely recommend this as a fun experience to see the city and also do a tea service.

We booked the afternoon tea experience for two and had a great time!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

The bus is super cute. It's a 60 year old bus and while it made the ride a bit bumpy at times, it felt very fitting and special! The tour lasts between 1:20-1:30h

Now to the food: I had been to Brigit's bakery before and the afternoon tea once again delivered! The appearance, taste and texture of all goods was fantastic - both the savory and the sweet!
About halfway through you also get a warm scone with clotted cream and jam.
It's plenty of food and if you don't manage to eat it all during the tour you get a takeaway box.

They serve different teas and coffees and it's unlimited. Due to the bustour being a bit bumpy at times, the tea is served in a to go cup with tea bags. You also get to keep the cool to go cup.

During the drive they play some interesting information on the sights you pass by (Royal Albert Museum, National History Museum, Harrods, Marble Arch, Hyde Park, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square etc.) as well as really good music!

They do not have a toilet on board but there are toilets at Victoria Coach Station.

We were visiting London on a trip to Europe in October and this was one of the first things we booked. It was a fantastic experience and we loved Paddington before the high tea bus tour but even more after. It hit all the spots in London from the movies and it was an authentic experience. The tour guide and team were excellent - they couldn’t have made the experience any better.

Our bus tours and Covent Garden bakery all offer halal options.
