Pali Kitchen

Tried the Kathi rolls here and they were excellent - the paratha was soft yet slightly crisp on the edges holding together without getting soggy. The filling was generous, packed with flavour, and had the right mix of spice and freshness. The chicken tikka roll which I had was smoky and well-marinated, while the vegetarian option (Aubergine potato curry) had a nice flavour and heat
Portion size is satisfying and great for a quick meal on the go
Overall some of the best Kathi rolls

Pali Kitchen is a quick takeaway-style restaurant with very decent flavors. My rice bowl was fresh and well-prepared, but I found the seasoning a little mild possibly because I skipped the sauces to avoid adding extra calories. Without them, the flavors felt like they were tailored to a more subtle, English-friendly palate.

That said, I’m open to giving this place another try, this time with their sauces, to see if they elevate the overall flavor profile. For now, it’s a solid three stars, but I’ll happily revisit and update my review if my next experience packs more punch.

The Butter Chicken Rice Bowl from Pali Kitchen is an absolute winner!  The butter chicken itself is incredibly flavorful, with that perfect balance of creamy richness and a hint of tang, and the chicken pieces are tender and juicy. Paired with the perfectly cooked rice, it creates a comforting and utterly delicious combination.
What truly sets this bowl apart, besides the fantastic taste, is the generous portion size. You definitely get your money's worth, making it a satisfying and fulfilling meal. It's clear that Pali Kitchen doesn't skimp on quality or quantity.
If you're looking for a reliably tasty and substantial meal, the Butter Chicken Rice Bowl from Pali Kitchen is a highly recommended choice.

Delicious food and generous portions!! A great option for lunch if you work in the area. The butter chicken bowl is my favourite, but go early because they can run out!! I've told my coworkers about this place and they all love it as well! There is usually a long line, but it goes super quick.

Food taste is decent however question is the quantity. They have this rice bowl option. They just fill a quarter with rice & curry and another quarter is with salads. In summary, the bowl is only half filled for £9.95. Once I said, it is only half filled and their response was that any extra would cost you £3.95.
In summary, the quantity of food they offer is never enough for me. My 5 year old child eats more than what they offer as standard.
I will never visit there again.

Gordon Ramsay Street Burger - St Paul's

One of my last few lunches in London, and thought I would visit Gordon Ramsay's burger chain to give it a try.

Made a reservation for 1 at 11.30am when they opened, and came to an empty shop within the quiet mall.

Ordered the chicken breast with avocado, as I don't take beef, and it was served within 10 minutes.

Fries were great, while it did look like there's a lot of spice and would be a little too salty, i find it manageable though i did take a few gulps along the way.

The burger however, was nothing to shout about. While a chicken breast is understandably hard to impress, I did expect it to at least be unique, but it was very much like something i could prepare at home with a good quality chicken breast.. That said, there was nothing to complain about as it wasn't bad at all.

Overall a decent meal, but not one i would return for, at least for the chicken breast burger.

Food was really good (next level burger has been the best burger I’ve had this far), drinks are very well priced, you get more than a fair amount for the price you pay and isn’t overpriced like a lot of restaurants in London.
Food was warm, served immediately. Fries are still warm after eating the burger, really nicely seasoned as well.
Staff was really nice and welcoming. Came by often to check on us.

Love the vibe in the restaurant, would definitely recommend 😊

Friendly, fast, and delicious. The staff have always been absolutely delightful and incredibly helpful. The food is fast but without question tasty. I personally love the next level smash burger with sidewinder fries. They also had ice cream with an editable cup which was a fantastic surprise.

A brilliant date night where we are looked after with a smile and we know we will love the food. An awesome location and even better service.

Delicious burgers! Smashed chili grill and the frenchy burger. Along with Hotter then hell fries. Alex and his team served us extremely friendly. The burgers we're extremely tastefully!
I would definitely recommend this place and when im visiting Londen, no doubt we will eat here again!
Thank you Alex!

The best on this place is the staff. The Manager is an absolute professional. I was there The first time some 3 months ago and the gentleman still remembered where I sit and what I ate. The sweet fries are the best, but all in all you get what you expect.

Our halal options include the JFC chicken burger, our Not So Simple vegan burger as well as our vegetarian Butternut Bhaji burger.

The Ivy Asia St Paul's

We visited Ivy Asia St Paul’s for an early Christmas Eve dinner with friends at around 6:00 PM. As the restaurant was not very busy at that hour, they kindly accommodated us earlier than our reservation, which we appreciated.

The décor was charming and festive, and I was genuinely delighted to find a Christmas cracker waiting on the table — a small but thoughtful touch that immediately set a celebratory tone. The overall ambience felt lively yet comfortable.

The food itself was excellent — flavourful, beautifully presented, and with particularly strong menu options for vegetarians, which was a real highlight of the evening.

Unfortunately, the service significantly detracted from the experience. Our table server was slow and unorganised, leading to multiple mix-ups with our orders. From the end of our main course to settling the bill, the process took an astonishing 45 minutes — a time frame that included an unreasonably slow arrival of dessert.

When we requested takeaway boxes for our leftovers, we were told none were available, which was disappointing for a restaurant of this calibre.

The manager, however, deserves recognition for being prompt, decisive, and effective in addressing the issues caused by the service lapses. That said, it was frustrating that throughout the meal I repeatedly had to request managerial intervention just to keep things moving. Eventually, service was progressing so slowly that I had to get up myself to make payment.

While I understand that the festive season can be demanding for restaurants, the lack of efficiency and basic service training was difficult to overlook. Except for the service, the entire experience was wonderful — however, for me, service is a fundamental prerequisite when choosing to return to a restaurant.

Not worth the price. We went for lunch at St Pauls as a date and that was a mistake, it’s full of business people lunching and you are sat close together. I got the rib eye steak medium and it was verging on well done.
There was nothing particularly wrong with the food but at £180 for 2 people with one soft drink each and 3 courses it’s way too expensive for what you get.
Also the one in Mayfair is better for a date.
The menu has a good selection for vegans however.

I had an amazing experience at Ivy Asia St Paul’s. The ambience was stunning, and the food was absolutely superb. Service from Matthew was exceptional — he was kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond our expectations. His expertise and recommendations were spot on; the seared beef and chicken teriyaki were both outstanding, and the cheesecake dessert was super delicious.

Thank you so much for a fantastic dining experience! Highly recommend.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and very authentic, with an incredible view of St. Paul’s Cathedral — that alone makes the visit worthwhile. The food was good and enjoyable, but not particularly memorable; I would describe it as solid, well-executed Asian cuisine rather than something truly outstanding.

Unfortunately, the service felt quite flat. All of the staff, including the managers, seemed very serious, tired, and not very welcoming — no smiles, and at times they even appeared a bit irritated. It was noticeable that they were understaffed or overwhelmed by the workload, which clearly affected the overall experience.

I would still recommend the place if service is not your top priority and you are mainly looking for a beautiful setting with a stunning view rather than a culinary revelation.

Tip: there is a corner table by the window in the corner of the dining room with the best view (shown in the last photo) — if possible, try to reserve that one.

This is our daughter’s favourite restaurant, and one of our favourites too, so what better place to come and celebrate her graduation! It is a beautiful venue that simply never disappoints! The service is perfect, and the staff are very friendly and professional. The food is exceptionally good, very well presented and tastes great too! We also had a great view of St Paul’s Cathedral , which was an added bonus! Will we come again? Of course we will, and I would highly recommend that you do too! 😀

Build-your-own ramen, sushi and bubble teas

Uzumaki London

The atmosphere was great and the anime designs and little details were amazing. The staff were really welcoming. Shout out to Steven for the amazing service. So attentive and friendly, and also brought so many laughs to our table.

The food was good but there were some things that could’ve been better. The Karaage wasn’t very crispy or battered, it was more like cooked chicken chunks. The cocktails were wonderful, although the mocktail tasted more like a healthy smoothie. Overall a really good experience and I will definitely go back.

I would also recommend this place to anyone especially an anime fan!

I recently visited this charming anime themed restaurant, and it was such a fun and memorable experience. The atmosphere was creative, with decor that made the whole place feel lively and unique.

The food was absolutely amazing beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations. A special shoutout to Tyler, who took great care of us throughout the meal. He was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves great food and a fun theme. I’ll definitely be returning! 🐾🍽️

The service at Uzumaki was absolutely wonderful! All of the servers were nice and accommodating, and the general interior is beautifully done too. I ordered their chicken katsu, which was hearty, and a perfect portion too, as well as their mango chakra burst beverage, which was sweet in flavour. For dessert, I had the pleasure of trying their dango, which came paired with a tasty sauce!

Fantastic experience!
We visited Uzumaki after a trip to the British Museum, which is only a five-minute walk away. The service was excellent – friendly, attentive, and exactly what you hope for.
The ramen selection is great, and each table offers different oils and spices so you can customise your ramen to your own taste. The ramen itself was outstanding – full of flavour and genuinely reminiscent of Japan.
The manga-style interior creates a unique and fun atmosphere. As it was Christmas time, we even received small porcelain cats as chopstick holders – a lovely and thoughtful gesture, especially for the kids (we got four in total!).
We loved it, and the kids loved it too. Highly recommended – thank you!

My inner weeb loved this super nice place the vibes are really good. Staff are really friendly and nice. Would recommend the Naruto ramen and the 7th wonder ramen super filling but definitely worth it. Also got the uzumaki chocolate cake wasn’t a huge fan of it but I think it just wasn’t what I was expecting. Itachi dango was super yummy. 10/10 place will definitely be back 🫶

We have a lot of Halal options for both ramen and sushi. Halal items are clearly marked on the menu. Please ask our staff for details.

Simple Health Kitchen

This place is a gold mine, the salad are amazing and the portions are big.

This is my new go to spot and what great value for money.

Have been here quite a few times for lunch and have not been disappointed.

Like it says in the name, the food is simple, healthy and actually tasty too, with a variety of options
(as long as you don't get there too late, as options do seem to sell out quickly).

Majority of the staff are very friendly and welcoming too.

Definitely a great clean alternative to stodgy lunches that wipe out your energy for the rest of the day.

Overall a very nice place for lunch. Great salad selection, and big portions if you go for the large box. I would of given them 5 stars but the chicken was very fatty. The spicy mayo is VERY spicy!

Cold chicken and undercooked brocolies. Service is fast and queue even on Friday is short. But extremely disappointing food. Ordered pesto chicken, but it was not able to taste any pesto at all. It had only a bit of green herbs on it. No trace of nuts :(

All veggies on the side were super raw. Had to bin brocolies and beatroot and microwave chicken back in the office.

At checkout they pack order, but don't put catlery in the bag.

The layout of the menu is all the rage right now in the city lunchtime market - choice of protein and x amount of sides. Having only been once I do not know whether there is a rotating menu. I did visit after lunch and found the food to be quite fresh, meaning that they probably restock often.
