Modern restaurant & bar serving Mediterranean cuisine all day

This vegetarian fried cauliflower from @amber.ldn is one of the best dishes I've eaten this year. .

They also do an amazing lamb shoulder dish. Halal available. Don't order any grilled items due to cross contamination chance.

@halalfoodguy's review of Amber Whitechapel on Instagram

Amber Restaurant

Really nice and friendly place with lovely service done by very polite waitresses. The breakfast was really great, latte good. There is carafe of water for any guest for free - if only more restaurants did this. I really recommend this place.

My friend and I were on the hunt for a nice spot to catch up, and since she’s vegetarian, we figured Amber would be a great choice—and it totally was! Even though we showed up 30 minutes early (classic us), the team greeted us warmly and got us seated right away.

The vibe of the place? So cozy. Loved the wooden furniture, plants everywhere, and the open kitchen giving off all the right energy. It was a long-overdue catch-up session, so shoutout to the team for being super patient with us as we took our sweet time to order.

We kicked things off with a great bottle of wine and ordered a bunch of dishes to share. One thing we loved was how the food arrived as it was ready—none of that overwhelming table-juggling. It gave us space to enjoy each dish properly. Speaking of food, we tried the bread basket, hummus gnocchi, crawling flower, torched sea bream, prawns in garlic oil, grilled courgettes, and smoked potatoes. Every single thing was chef’s kiss delicious.

The service? Absolutely top-notch. They really made it the perfect girls’ night out. Highly recommend Amber—it’s a gem!

I live nearby but had never been to Amber, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The ambiance is serene and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The service was warm and attentive, making me feel truly welcomed. And the food—simply outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning.

Had great experience here - amazing flavours. Highly recommend the courgette fritters and cauliflower plates. The deserts were creative and delicious.

Amazing cocktails and great food: the gnocchis were excellent, the lamb surprising and the green crunch a welcome freshness!
Staff was very friendly and we really loved the ambiance (perhaps a little too dimly lit, but I loved the cozy vibes!). All in all the best dinner we had in London!

Our chicken and lamb are Halal but some dishes are cooked with wine etc. Please ask a member of staff for clarification.

I ordered curry goat during the lunchtime special hours for a bargain price of £8.95. I thought it was a bold move to not provide a knife in their to-go cutlery set, but it made sense once I opened the box because the goat meat was tender enough to pick apart with a plastic fork. The goat wasn’t very spicy, but was still well seasoned and tasted excellent. The mac n cheese surprised me because of how flavourful it was, and the rice & peas was great too. The service was quick, and the family running the restaurant are really sweet. It’s a large portion for the price. Highly recommended.

I should start with the good. The chicken was amazing I've never had jerk chicken done this way before so 👏🏾👏🏾. Now a few things  disappointed me and my guest. First the menu and prices had been changed(no notice was given on arrival). On the old menu that I saw on a review the jerk chicken meal came with some sides and was £8.95but when we orderd it £10.95 and as you can see in the pick just some  🥬,🥒 and 🍅. The food was warm but what disappointed the most was the attitude of the young waitress. The other staff were lovely but she needs to be trained on customer service!.  The aura she gave off was I don't want to be here, she was polite but did not have any warmth to her at all it was not welcoming. So disappointed won't be going back.

Very warm and welcoming place. Beautiful people and so friendly. The food was really tasty and the service was excellent. Not rushed just chilled, I will definitely be going back there with friends and family.... Remember I'm coming back for that ginger drink!

Went there a month ago. I must say dreadful food. Worst carribean food ever. Honestly don't understand why people are giving good ratings. The price seemed reasonable went in for jerk chicken Sunday special. Was told they didn't have vegetables. Fair enough but once they served the Sunday special they were missing mash, roast potatoes etc.They apologised and said they ran out of vegetables, mash and roast potatoes. I felt rude to decline the food as they've gone through the effort to plate the food. So I ordered chip's and prawns as extra. The prawns tastes fresh and delicious however I would of preferred without shells but that's my personal preference. Now for the main...total disappointment. The jerk chicken was dry and chewy, the mac and a cheese had no flavour. The chip's were also dry and hard. Upon paying the Bill we gave honest feedback about the chicken, Fair enough the manager said they would of not served the chicken like that; they don't usually serve the jerk chicken after 4pm as they cook it earlier. Yet they should of told us this before ordering the food. Would of expected a discount due to  missing vegetables, roast potatoes and mash on the special. Yet they didnt have the courtesy to offer a discount they charged full price even the chip's. The can of coke also cost £3 each. The manager gave the wrong amount of change he was short of 15p but my partner didn't seem to fuss about it but I found it rude atleast acknowledge it and apologise he would of said keep the change anyway. I see where they make they're money. On the other hand I like the waitress she seemed friendly. despite my partner bumping in to her using the gents toilet !

Lovely staff I was there at around 7.30pm yesterday evening. Wanting to get some Nice Curry Goat with Rice  salad, plantains as a taste of home for me old  Jamaican mum .The portions were large,the food was lovely. It did not dissapoint. The staff who took my  order were a lovely young couple. I will be back next month. Cheers Paul the big man in the blue shirt From Hainault/Chigwell👍🤘👌👏

Everything on our menu is vegan or halal.

Mexican flavours and modern influences; serving up tacos, burritos & more

DF Tacos - Shoreditch

One of the best ‘Cheap Eats’ in London. Tasty tacos, quick service and nice staff! Recommend the chicken buttermilk tacos.

Tip: They offer student discount - so don’t forget to ask if you are a student

For a quick bite to eat of some tasty Mexican food whilst exploring the Spitalfields area and beyond, this certainly did the job. You scan that table to order and have a variety of sauces to get to spice up your food to your own taste.

There's an options for some unlimited juices but I had a Modelo, one of a few lagers they serve.

Food was tasty and very filling so maybe don't get too carried away with your order, you can always get more if you're still hungry. Not the best I've had but certainly not the worst

Didn't have to wait that long to be served, food came quite quickly as well. Some of the tacos better than others but overall really tasty and filling. My favourite was cheese&steak tacos, yummy!

Stumbled upon this spot not far from Brick Lane. The tacos were really good and the drinks were good too. I found it a little on the pricier end (70£ for two people) especially as portions were small, but worth checking out at least once

First time eating here and I was completely shocked by how good it is. I had the Steak burrito which is a pretty decent size portion. It comes with rice, beans, slaw, cheese and salsas. Also with tomatillo salsa and pickled cucumber. It's very tasty and if you add some habanero sauce, it makes it even better. I also had some plantain tacos because I was starving and these were incredible. I thought Wahaca had the best plantain tacos in this city but wow, these topped them. They come with slaw, feta, crema and smoky salsa. So good, tasty and generous portion. I'd recommend this place 100% as it's a perfect tex mex place. I paid £17 for these two dishes, so pretty affordable too.

The chicken we use in every DF is now halal-certified! However, we must highlight that we do also sell non-halal menu items in our business, including pork and non-halal beef. The chicken is prepared separately but we would rather customers notify us if cross contamination is a concern so we can be extra vigilant, clean surfaces and change gloves, etc. If you have further questions about this, please reach out to us.

Classy dining experience serving an American menu

Le Madison Steakhouse

Le Madison Steakhouse is located just off the main road behind Barclays almost out of the way. The restaurant did have an office at the back which brought the atmosphere experience down a little however the main star of the show is the food, and it was flavourful and well-seasoned. Very nice food, they do not sell the classic fizzy drinks but its always worth giving a Mexican cola a go. Friendly staff, overall I would visit again.

One of the "deadest" "restaurants" I ever been to. No one in, no music, tables arranged in an awkward fashion, awful wallpaper, tacky furniture, and abysmal atmosphere. It was frankly, bizarre.

Only one server who did her best but had limited English.

The meal was bland as the decor, the steak was all over cooked, I don't think they understand the concept of rare or medium. The chicken tasted very dodgy, the coated prawns tasted soft as I suspect they're were frozen for a long time and quickly chucked into an oven. The BBQ on the chicken was utterly atrocious, I mean one of the worst things to ever past my lips.

To make the plate appear more full than it is, they piled and piled on a load of terrible watery tasteless veg. Which no one took off.

The chips were okay and the rice too, they were the best bits of this sorry affair. The burger was mediocre but edible.

The drinks were peculiar in a bad way.

And to top it off, IT HAS A FOOD HYGIENE RATING OF ZERO. So if you want the experience of a third world kitchen then by all means head to LE CRAPISON, I mean Madison, and assault your colon with their awful food.

Took my partner for a treat, she always wanted to try a lobster 🦞 we came here first time and will be last. she didn’t like a bit and cost me £30 bit pricey, for little meat smells burned £15 - £20 would be ok. That reason given 2 ⭐️⭐️

We had chops, peri peri wings, mac and cheese was decent, fresh strawberry mojitos and mango lassi was ok, service was good but no parking during the day..

The chimichurri sauce is a lie . I request the owner to run a google search - How to make chimichurri

They basically offered sweet chilli sauce and coriander with it . Disgusting!!!

Not worth visiting.

With lamb shank the veggies are a gimmick. Frozen veggies

Good customer service - kitchen needs sorting

Excellent food and excellent service! Very nice to have a great local restaurant with amazing food and service. Extremely hospitable and welcoming. Food was very delicious and perfect location for a family meal & child friendly! Strawberry daiquiri was very nice especially

Authentic, traditional street food of India

Indi-go Rasoi Spitalfields

Decent spot for lunch. More on the pricier side out of the spitalfields foods.

The chicken and curry was delicious. Very tender and well cooked chicken. Curry sauce was well spiced. Not too salty and not insanely hot. Great for universal taste. I expected more from the pilau rice. I’m no pilau rice expert but have tried enough a few to determine it missed something. Maybe a hint of another spice or a garnish.

Service was also friendly and people were very helpful.

The menu might have been a bit confusing but might just be me being very unaware of the foods.

Worth a try if you love trying all south Asian foods in town.

I travel and lived several years in Pakistan, and tandoori dishes was always a unique dinning experience over for me. I can say without any doubts that the tandoori chicken that I had here, brought me back to my unforgettable time in Lahore! Was amazing, thank you so much for this, was a present for me and my wife.

The Chicken Briyani is not bad here. Nothing extraordinary, but it certainly does not taste bad. We ordered the spicy fries, which I would rate slightly above average. Ignore the soup dumplings in the photo; they were purchased from Dumpling Shack.

I ate the half tandoori chicken.
I got a lot of chickenmeat and a lot of rice.
I loved it! I'm lucky to have found a place to sit within the market itself, in which this foodplace is situated.
The staff was very friendly, kind, helpfull and fast.
I definitely recommend this place!

Delicious Masala Dosa and Mango Lassi!! Fantastic group lunch in Spitalfields, Shoreditch. Great commitment to sustainability as well - they have joined junee so you can get your lunch in a reusable bowl! Definitely recommend on all levels.

All meat on our menu is Halal. No pork or alcohol served.
