Canteen-style Indochinese venue with an open kitchen and communal tables 

I’m not a fan of Indochinese Food so I wasn’t really looking forward to this meal, but N had been here before and liked it so I trusted his choice 😬

Food: Thankfully, the food wasn’t bad (well done babe! 😂) The Banana Tree Spiced Noodles that I asked for was full of flavour and so was the Malaysian Prawn Kari. We also ‘combo’d up’ our mains so we got Indo Salad, Corn Cakes and Indo Crackers with our meals. The Corn Cakes were delicious!
Service: Decent service at the restaurant.

Quick Bite from @bananatreeuk who now have a fully halal menu now. Pictured is the chargrilled beef. My fav is still the beef rendang and the duck...and of course the chocolate fondant for dessert.

Banana Tree Soho

We went here for late lunch after shopping on oxford street.
The ambience is okay but we really liked the food.
We tried calamari, chicken dumplings and wok tossed noodles.
Calamari and the dumplings were really good and very filling.
I believe they have happy hour throughout the day if you order in pairs and the drinks were good value for money.

We were club hopping and it was almost half 10 that we were looking for a restaurant that’s still open and we spot this. They were kind enough to let us in soon before they were closing. We tried, two dishes and a starter. Start was prawn crackers which was a bummer. We expected prawns but just got some crisps with prawns flavour on it. Coming to the two main dishes; we got the beef with another rice that came with salad and crackers. Which was outstanding. Except for the rice being a bit sticky. And the green Thai curry with jasmine rice was equally wonderful, we enjoyed it. My favourite combination would be the beef with jasmine rice. The Thai curry had such a beautiful fragrance. It was really good. Their jasmine rice is a must try with the beef. And to mention, Arvin served, really kind and nice.

It's a very nice experience, friendly staff, food served on banana leaf which looked very nice. Food was very tasty 😋 and drinks were at reasonable price too. Its a little tight seating don't have much room between 2 tables. It gets busy so I recommend to book the table before going there. Walk in are welcomed. Did get much time to try the deserts but will definitely visit again.

This is a very nice place. The food is really tasty. I will recommend to book in advance as it is in high demand.
The duck plate we had was exceptional and really filling.
Shreeya, who attended us, was a star, always quick to answer our questions and take our order with a smile. Service was fast.
We will definitely return in our next visit to the city.
We also made the most of the happy hour! 😊

Really good food. Turned up and didn’t realise it was happy hour. Great value and really good sized portions. You feel well fed and food is very fresh.

Beef steak sandwich from @potbelly_uk 
I'm not a sandwich, wrap kina guy, I rarely get these types of foods for lunch. But i was kindly invited to try one of their sandwiches. Potbelly, (yes it sounds like porkbelly) is a famous sandwich shop in Chicago and has opened a the first in Europe in good old Westfield. 
They made the decision to use all halal meats on their menu. 
I went for a beef sandwich. It just was not for me. I like soft breads, but this is hard. And at £5.95 I don't think its a replacement for a subway which is pretty much the same. What is nicer is the service and decor of the place. Plus they do nice milkshakes. 
A good alternative to try if you are in Westfield and like sandwiches. But its just don't my personal favourite... Gimme a burger! Lol

@halalfoodguy's review of Potbelly Stratford on Instagram

Potbelly

I had the chance Chicken sandwich with blue cheese and salad and mayo.  Great sandwich I loved this, I usually eat my staff cables but when I saw this it looked really good.  There's is a very large dining area, bright decor.  The do soft drinks such as Coke which. are refillable as well as milkshakes, tea. They have good desert menu to.  Sandwich is fresh and the bread is great, I loved the flavours. Staff are friendly and service is quick and efficient.

Sadly this has now closed in Stratford.

Essentially a better subway. Slightly more expensive (a large sandwich cost me £7.7) but tastier and fresher. I had The Wreck, a mix of different meats which was pretty good. Staff were friendly and the seats were very comfy. I was also impressed to find out everything is halal in here. 

Delicious sandwiches. Always quiet. Sweet, accommodating staff. Free peanut butter and chocolate shake for my birthday. Just fabulous. 

Great if you have no taste buds and have the urge to spend £6 on a sandwich. Absolute hogshite.

Great place to sit down with friends and eat. Tables can accomodate groups of 6 people. Try the buffallo chicken sandwich, it is delicious and the filling is generous.

Ive nearly finished writing my top Burgers in London blog post, only taken 2 years to finally get around to it! .

This cheese burger from @fatburgeruk is definitely in my top 5. Although they suffered when they first opened, on my last 2 visits this year I really liked the burgers here and totally hits the spot every time.

@halalfoodguy's review of Fatburger Camden on Instagram

Fatburger

Not sure fat burger have rebranded as “ brgr & wings “ anyway thought I’d try this place out today , burger was very good , quality of beef was of good, burger had lots flavoursome sauce inside and was cooked really well, defo one of the better burgers I’ve had in a while. Now for the negatives. Chips were basic nothing special , no different then from your local chicken shop. The wings were tiny , and the flavours didn’t seem to cut it. They were really small 🤦🏽‍♂️. Another thing you have to pay extra for cheese on your burger. I would have thought cheese was standard in a burger . All in all average review for me personally, chips and wings let down the meal. Also no wet wipes and toilet facilities out of service . £16 for a double burger meal in this place is pricey and not worth it.

OK burger & great location in Camden however could've been better for the price. You'd expect it to better to be honest, so don't let your expectations be ruined by a half decent burger.

Loads of other places within half a mile proximity that serve a better burger, also the plainest chips ever.

3* Wouldn't recommend only as a last resort 👎🏼

It's no longer called "fat burger" but it never lived upto It's name from my experience. Low grade Overpriced burgers that are no where near the 6oz as claimed. Broken peices of mince meat ain't my idea of signature Beef burger.

However service was OK nothing to rave about. If you don't mind paying premium price for average food then it's your place. Good luck and enjoy.

Proper fast food presented in an American fast food way! You get this American feel about this place upon walking in. I’m not sure if it was just me, but the guy that served me had a slight American accent too (don’t know if it was genuine or just to add to the American feel)! It worked well though! Food was amazing, customer service was on point and food came quickly but wasn’t rushed. I will visit again soon!

I ordered a double cheeseburger and fat fries and a strawberry milkshake :
The cheeseburger was full of goodness, and the fat fries was robust but not overpowering. When my burger arrived, my expectation continued to be exceeded.
The fries was crisp, flavorful, and chewy. The burger worked together beautifully. The milkshakes were packed with flavor, and strawberry flavour had a great consistency By the end of the meal i was  planning my next visit. The staff was very welcoming and smiling very nice can’t wait to pop again,

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Your local burger spot is now serving up HALAL free-range chicken 🍗  @honestburgers #invite 

As of July 6th, Honest Burgers is officially catering to a halal diet, serving up free-range chicken across various London locations 🤪 We had The Buffalo Fried Chicken Burger and The Chicken Pesto Burger - Unfortunately, Chicken Wings had finished for the day (…Yet to jump onto the chicken wing bandwagon still…) A new halal spot to add to the list for a casual lunch or dinner out 🤪🍗🍗🍗

…also let’s just take a moment to appreciate HOW good the chips are here 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@londonfoodjourney's review of Honest Burgers on Instagram

Honest Burgers Brixton

Great food in a cozy environment within an undercover marketplace. The rosemary salted fries are lovely and the burgers are always just right. A varying selection of craft beers available too. Great for a quick meal before moving on elsewhere.

Update: It's still just as great as ever, I managed to pop in in late February 2022. I particularly like the local special burger (only available at this restaurant). That's made with cheese, bacon, jerk sauce and a slice of grilled pineapple. It's surprisingly good.

Really good vibe. Loved the rosemary chips!! We sat outside and there just so happened to be music playing which was really nice. It is small though with minimal seating

Although the burgers are nice, they are pretty small in size, £14 for small burger and lots of chips.
My chips are sometimes more like crisp, thought it was a one off but no just crunchy and nothing in them.

That brings to the most frustrating thing about Honest Burgers is that you CANNOT ORDER ANY BURGER SEPARATELY  .
Everything comes with chips, not only is it more expensive, it’s annoying because there are times that we just want burgers no chips!
Sometimes I want an extra burger to try out the other options but they don’t have a menu to order separately as I checked this with them. I think it’s weird they do this. I rarely have this issue at other restaurants. Black Bear Burgers at Brixton  is far better restaurant

Used to be great. No idea what's been happening recently. Soggy fries, no seasoning, small portions.

Edit: Massive improvement in all regards!

I often  order burgers here, one of the best burger I have tried in london, but now burgers are not the same, chef is not focused on his work, chips are not the same as always. Last chips I received were absolutely uneatable. I don’t think I’m gonna re order anymore, they let me down too many times in the last three months.

All of the chicken in our restaurants is halal. If you would like to see our supplier’s halal certificate please ask your server when you arrive. Halal products are stored separately with strict processes in place to stop cross-contamination. Halal chicken items are handled with separate utensils and gloves. Fried halal chicken burgers and wings do not share fryers with any non-halal items. Grilled halal chicken breast burgers are cooked on a reserved area of the grill separated by a grill divider. We do not offer halal beef at any of our restaurants.

12 of our restaurants (full list below) offer a halal Buffalo fried chicken burger. We will be rolling this out to more restaurants in the near future so watch this space. You can find our Buffalo fried chicken burger at Bank, Cardiff, Finsbury Park, Liverpool St, Manchester, Portobello, Reading, South Kensington, Spitalfields, St Katherine Docks, Tooting and Watford.

Tortilla and burrito joint that charges extra for guacamole!

Tortilla Victoria

Both my tacos and burrito were served atrociously cold, as if they were straight out from the fridge. Like if I am paying 8 quid a meal here for a supposedly-hot dish served cold, I may as well go to Sainsbury’s for a chicken sandwich meal deal.

Ingredients were not even properly assembled and it was a mess eating that.

I used to have such decent, comfort food from other tortilla branches, but this one is an absolute disappointment- won’t ever visit this branch again.

I ordered a Naked Burrito and a Burrito, with a side of Chocolate Filled Churros, and the food was good. Although the rice was a bit raw, the churros were not fresh enough. I would recommend this restaurant for a quick bite of Mexican Cuisine.

Unfortunately the Chicken in the burrito was full of fat, it was way better before. Felt like chewing  a GUM.
The staff needs to smile a bit that would be nice instead of feeling like they are trying to get rid of customers. Apart from the Asian young man at the till was great ✌️

The bin was also too full, takes seconds to change the bag. Wasn’t even busy.

Enjoyed some food here today. Got slightly lost trying to find it and then it became obvious with the massive sign 😂 food was hot made to order like at subway, polite staff, clean tables and over all nice experience.

HUGE burrito. Lots of different options. Really big and delicious meal for a great price.
