I think i ordered a bit too much! Took advantage of the 50% off at Dishoom in Carnaby Street (till Tuesday) @dishoom

Pictured is the Sali Bolti and the lamb chops. First time I tried the chief's special curry and it was really good. 
Lamb chops where a just a tad on the dry side but still very good nevertheless. 
The atmosphere and decor is not as good as the other branch's in my opinion. Didnt have that old school Indian vibe. 
The queue was around 30mins to get in. Special shout out to our waitress Shannon, who gave me the best and most personable service I've had. Make sure you ask for her.

Dishoom Carnaby

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD EVER!!! Line up / wait was long so I definitely recommend booking reservations before coming. But it was worth the wait. While waiting they brought us drinks outside for free!! My husband and I loved it! The servers were very friendly and kind. Thank you for making our trip to England sooo enjoyable!

Good and busy place whenever you are in London and craving some decent Indian food.
I wouldn't say it was the best meal ever however it wasn't bad at all. Food was tasty although portion size a bit on the small side for what you pay.
I had high expectations because the ordeal that it seems to get a table booked and maybe I felt a bit down, hence only 3 starts.
Maybe it was too big and too busy? Sooo many people moving around it was a bit too much.
The service was good but not what I would expect for a 12% service charge. We order one extra lemonade that came after 15min,so we had already finished everything we had ordered and they brought 2 instead of just one.
Price, well, its central London... £40 x person without dessert. We ended quite full but feeling that we paid a bit too much for what we got.
Will I get back? Perhaps I will but only with some friends if they really crave some Indian food in Central London.
I also think this is one of those places that if you come as a big group you can enjoy many small dished.

Great restaurant and bar in the heart of London's Soho.
Quick kitchen.
Very nice staff.
They have a lot of great Indian drinks, try them, they are exquisite.
Ideal to go with friends or on a date.
Medium price for Soho.
Great decoration

Absolutely delicious food! As we were a large group, we had the sharing platter which was amazing! The black Dahl was the star of the show for me! I am hoping to go back to try the breakfast menu which I heard is also incredible! You can book for certain times of the day, although most of the tables are reserved for walk ins in the evening (prepare to queue/wait but it’s worth it if you have the time). Veggie/ Non Veggie Sharing platters available. If it’s your birthday they sign for you 🥳 Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.

Great service and good breakfast options with good size portions and reasonable in price. Place was full so you will always have to wait a little. Would have just liked to have seen some actual tradition indian breakfast items as well.

Our lamb and chicken is Halal. Alcohol is served. Bacon is served on our breakfast menu. Ask a member of staff for details.

#invite Smokin’ hot burgers in a fun and vibrant setting 👌🏽
.
If you’re looking for cheap but tasty gourmet burgers, @smokyboys is the place to visit! Based in numerous locations, the restaurant uses freshly ground beef sourced from Angus Breed Cattle, which is free range and grass-fed. You can definitely tell that the quality of the meat is great 👌🏽 If you prefer your burgers more saucy they have a vast range of dips available! We ordered the Smoky BadBoy (one for the spice lovers 🥴) and The Beast. The Mac’n’Cheese was heavenly 🤤 and the Grilled Shrimps were very flavourful. Thick milkshake lovers, you’re in for a treat with SmokyBoys Milkshakes! We ordered the Ferrero and Oreo ones and they were the creamiest milkshakes we’ve had in a long time!

Settings: 8/10
Food: 7.5/10

Smoky Boys Watford

Nice place. Good quality food. Friendly staff

Very neat and welcoming place. They offer generous meals and for inexpensive prices. We loved the meals very much and the waiters were super affable and informative. Highly recommended.

Love coming here with the family, very cozy and clean atmosphere. Food is always on point, price is slightly high but once you get into your first bite you won’t complain. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

Finest food, friendly staff members, consistently excellent ambience. They charge fair rates and the food quality is excellent. Keep up the good work.

Very small restaurant off of a main road.

Group of 13 family meal on Eid day. Restaurant was very accommodating with friendly staff. 

Starters we ordered 36 wings with mixed flavours of smoky BBQ and Dynamite. The chicken wings were falling off the bone and it was a very good start. BBQ flavour was ok not the best and the dynamite flavour was nice and spicy. The chicken wings cooking was on point and made up for any let down on the flavour.

Beef ribs ordered to try out and was enjoyed overall.

The main course we ordered sirloin and rib eye steak with various sides including sweet potato fries, mash, chunky chips.

Steak was of small size and of low quality, taste was not there and that was a real shame.

Mash was a complete write off. Tasted boiled with no seasoning.

Everything else was standard. 

The prices where a bit high in relation to location, venue and quality of food. 

Overall it was ok, didn't leave hungry. 

In my view everyone is now adding steak to the menu and they think it's a slab of meat cooked on a grill. Failing to realise the cookery is a real skill, takes practice and finesse to pull off a great tasting steak with great texture and to it consistently. You cant fake it until you make it as the difference is night and day. I say stick to what you are good at and thrive.

Too far to go back again. If passing by, may try a burger.

All of our meat is from Halal certified suppliers.

Mahdi Restaurant

The best Iranian food in London. Me and my husband are huge foodies and this beats any other Iranian restaurant hands down. We have tried many places in London for this cuisine but Mahdi is number one. Even if you are not from the area it’s worth the trip. After you eat here you’ll never eat from another Iranian restaurant ever again. Others I’ve spoken to feel the same way too. Thank you for never disappointing us. Value for money and very very satisfying and yummy food. 10/10.

Astonishing food as always with huge portions. First class service and great all round experience in the beautiful restaurant. Plenty of the main left to bring home in a box for second meal! Been before and will return again for many more incredible meals.

I thought with COVID, I'd "eat out to help out" but it seems like Mahdi do not want my money. I called to book a table for 10 people later on in the week and the woman who answered said they were fully booked - I asked her when they would next have availability to which she said she "doesn't know". 

Once I pushed for more information, she said she'll book in my original request BUT I'll have to call back tomorrow to confirm. At this point, it's clear she just wanted me off of the phone.

I called back today as requested, only to be told they only have availability at 6pm or 9pm (I had "booked" 7pm). What happened to them being fully booked all week?

If you don't want a specific type of people in your restaurant, then at least keep to the same lie!

I used to come here all the time but the attitude of the staff has gotten progressively worse over the years and until I hear it improves, I won't be going back.

Food was good, a bit overpriced and some of it a bit cold.
Staff were friendly and nice. 
The place is amazing itself

I would give this place 0 stars...I called up to ask if they have a dress code..no was the answer...then I asked if you can wear shorts ..the answer again..no...English is a problem in this place...I was going to book a party of 13...then decided after they can't speak English and don't understand the meaning of "dress code"..that you and anyone else should steer clear of this person place...try Molana in wet Ealing ..they don't hang up on you and can speak English..!  Useless place this is..

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.

Mahdi

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,

Today's Lunch from michelin starred Indian restaurant @gymkhanalondon. This place gets booked up weeks and sometimes months in advance, so i took a day off to check out the lunch menu. 4 courses for £35. Totally stuffed.

Gymkhana

The ambiance is great. Interior is stunning
and elegant, hospitality is good, staff members are polite and friendly. I like they pay attention to details, they changed new plates (warm not cold one!!!) before serving the main courses. Decent Indian food with some modern twist. Enjoyed most dishes. The spices were flavourful yet by no means intrusive. A perfect spot for any occasion.

Great food and atmosphere! We tried the lunch set menu and everything is great. Vegetarian option available as well. Loved the cocktail and gin we ordered.

Service is very attentive and they can tell you more about the food, flavor and history of Indian cuisine. Decor of the restaurant is very memorable too. All in all a great restaurant and a must visit when you are in London.

The tasting menu is really fantastic. Some of the dishes were delicious versions of Indian dishes I’ve had before, and some were very different and unexpected. I highly recommend having everyone get a tasting menu and order different things so you can try everything! The cocktails were also great.

I can’t rave about this place enough! GREAT SERVICE. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations! The food had a great flavour! The lamb chops were so meaty and deliciously flavoured with spices not to mention cooked to perfection. I have no complaints at all. I will be back!

Celebrated my brothers birthday here and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and they even surprised us with a candle on their dessert. The service was perfect, food was bought out fresh and delicious. The Lamb was my favourite. Cocktails are strong and tasty too.

Halal meat can be served if notified in advanced.
