Hoppers

Hoppers – Marylebone, London

Our evening at Hoppers Marylebone was a memorable introduction to the vibrant flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine. Dining as a party of four, we were immediately struck by the restaurant’s warm yet stylish ambience. The interior design blends cozy comfort with authentic touches, creating an inviting space that reflects the spirit of Sri Lanka.

The menu offers an exciting variety of dishes, each one bursting with distinctive spices and perfectly balanced flavours. Every plate we sampled was both delicious and beautifully presented, demonstrating real culinary.

Service was exemplary. Our waitress was attentive and thoroughly knowledgeable about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Her guidance made it easy to explore unfamiliar dishes with confidence.

The cocktail list deserves special mention. Each drink was expertly mixed, complementing the food with fresh, well-judged flavours.

Overall, Hoppers delivers a dining experience that is both exciting and deeply satisfying. From the exceptional food to the warm hospitality and stylish surroundings, it is a restaurant we will gladly return to and wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking authentic Sri Lankan flavours in the heart of London.

Very unique sirilankan restaurant in the heart on London. Outside seating. Inside seating in basement is really cozy. I would not sit upstairs. We tried the hoppers experience where they bring you a little bit of everything.  My son had the biriyani. My wife wasn’t a fan so I deducted a star. Food tastes great. Brandon the host was great.

Honestly quite disappointed by the experience. Food is good, but service is neither attentive nor welcoming. We reserved days ahead but were seated upstairs directly under an aggressive fan. Not sure who enjoys strong wind in your eyes and nose while you eat. Even our napkins were flown away. We asked to turn it off but it was not possible as apparently all fans would be turned off and other guests need them. Simple would have been another table - but unfortunately we were left there and without any further word food was brought over. Nothing really hot, but fast.

We enjoyed the food, the dishes came very quickly and all had great flavours. We also liked the drinks selection, very funky and tasty drinks! Not many restaurants have tasty creative soft drinks so this was a huge plus. The restaurant has a nice ambience and the staff are all nice, we had a very nice and attentive waitress.

That said, we only had 1 hour and felt quite rushed towards the end, hadn’t finished our mains and were constantly being asked if they could clear the table and if we wanted dessert, not quite the experience we were expecting for the cost. When we made the reservation, there was no warning that we only had the table for 1 hour. Other than that, we enjoyed it, would’ve been nice to have more time to properly enjoy the meal and actually have time to order dessert though

Nice restaurant in central London.

Great vibe and very helpful and polite staff. From the hoppers experience, the devilled paneer is highly recommended. The wattalapam lassi was the best lassi I've ever tried!

Our lamb and chicken dishes are Halal. We serve alcohol.

Great atmosphere, lovely service and very messy burgers!

We asked for the ‘Ari Gold’ Cheeseburger and ‘Lambshank Redemption’ Burger. One thing we can certainly say is that the burgers were not dry at all 👌🏽 Absolutely SMOTHERED in sauce and the patties were SO moist 🤤 both burgers were tasty, but the cheeseburger did have a smokey sauce that we weren’t a fan of. The Cheeseballs were good, but we would have preferred them to maybe have a little something more, like chillies or coriander. Lovely place for a quick bite to eat but avoid if you are on a first date! 😂
P.s. note that the chicken is not halal, only the lamb and beef for us Muslims 😊

@twopeasfoodies's review of Patty&Bun Marylebone on Instagram

#invite @pattyandbun now serves Halal options in all of their stores! If you’re visiting then you need to go to either Kingly Court or James St because their Beef is Halal, and their Ari Gold Cheeseburger (£10.50) is a solid contender for one of the best Halal burgers you can have bang in the middle of Central London!
They also do vegan options which taste incredibly similar to real meat!
Ask your server when visiting what the Halal options are because not all are Halal!

@halalfooddiary's review of Patty&Bun Marylebone on Instagram

Patty&Bun James Street

Excellent service & atmosphere. I ordered the truffle burger as recommended by staff member- it was sensational! Shared the chilli fries with my husband which were spicy but very delicious. Cherry bomb cocktail was also excellent.

Patty and Bun on James I’d recommend only for the burgers.... because that’s where they truly shine. We ordered the Holy Truffle Burger, Hot Chick Burger and Lamb Shank Redemption Burger and all three were packed with flavor juicy and satisfying.
The staff were amazing too the waitress and the  guy taking orders were super attentive and friendly even though the place was packed and there were only two of them handling everything.

Now the sides were a letdown The rosemary salt chips were crispy but dry and oily almost like they were burnt, The nuggets were nothing special honestly I’ve had better from a corner shop, And the wings they could do better but I wouldn’t order them again

If I go back it’ll just be for the burgers because those were really good but I’d skip the sides next time

Best burger EVER . I had the chicken burger and you won’t be disappointed! Great service and we didn’t wait too long for the food. Will be visiting again !

Got the Ari burger and the special truffle flavor burger, both were amazing! Staff was super nice and helpful as well

Tried the José José burger at Patty & Bun and it was absolutely delicious packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. The rosemary fries were super crispy and full of flavour too. Great combo, will definitely be back!

Our lamb and chicken is Halal at all locations. Our beef is Halal at Kingly and James St.

Acacus Libyan Restaurant

The first time I tried Libyan food, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was decent. However, the food was not fresh and tasted preheated. I don’t think I will visit this restaurant again. But if you’ve never tried Libyan food before, it might be worth giving it a chance.

Going to this restaurant reminded me of my childhood. Ordered couscous Libyan (wedding style) with Coke. The lamb gravy was so flavourful that it made the cous cous even more tasty. The chick pea and vegetables in the lamb gravy blended in so well with the lamb which was cooked perfectly making it easy to eat from the bone. Ahmed (if I remember right) suggested this dish and made sure that the dish is accompanied with the crushed chilli to enhance the taste. The overall ambience was good, the dish was perfect and service was well appreciated. Highly recommend

A good lunchtime meal with excellent, professional service. I wasn’t overly adventurous with my choices but the dishes were pleasant. Particularly liked the gratuitous starter. The fresh orange juice was tasty. Lunch in total came to £24 which was very reasonable. Was quiet when I was there but the music was ambient which made for an atmosphere. Was very clean but had a whiff of shisha smell to the establishment as you might expect.

I was looking forward to coming to this restaurant for so long and when I got here I was not disappointed.

Food tasted great!, perhaps some dishes were different to they would taste back home but still absolutely worth it and I would highly recommend visiting the restaurant and trying some authentic and delicious Libyan food.

We tried Sharba, which is a libyan classic, we also tried the Ossban which was delicious just wish it was a little more spicy. Then we tried Embakbka which is a must. Lastly we tried Cous Cous wedding style which was the cherry on top.

Finally we concluded our visit with some Libyan tea to help digest it all this deliciousness

Authentic Flavors and Perfectly Grilled Dishes!

From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warmth and the comforting aroma of home-cooked food. The grilled dishes are the stars here—juicy, smoky, and cooked to perfection. Whether it's lamb chops, grilled chicken, or kofta, each bite is full of flavor and clearly made with care.

The homemade dishes are equally impressive. You can tell they're made from scratch, just like a traditional family meal. The Reshda, Embakbaka, and couscous are beautifully spiced and full of depth. Even the sides—like rice, fresh salad, and warm flatbreads—are done right.

The portions are generous, the presentation is lovely, and everything tastes authentic. If you appreciate real food made with heart, this place delivers. Highly recommend for anyone who loves grill cuisine and homemade comfort dishes.

Modern and traditional Turkish dishes with live music and belly dancing

Ishtar

Lovely service, not too pushy, food was great. Maybe I would like to see more Turkish traditional food. I was hoping for Imam Bayildi but it wasn't on the menu. Nonetheless I enjoyed it and would be back.

We recently dined at Ishtar and had a pleasant overall experience. I had reserved a table for myself and two friends over the phone. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by a lovely waitress, which set a positive tone for the evening. We were served complimentary bread and hummus, the hummus, in particular, was delicious.

For our mains, we ordered Incik, a Mixed Grill, and sides of Jasmine Rice. The food was full of flavour, I especially enjoyed the Chicken Kofta, which was the highlight of the meal for me. We also ordered drinks including green and red mocktails, as well as still water.

To finish, we tried a few desserts.. Chocolate Cake, Firinda Sutlac, and Künefe. The desserts were decent, not overly impressive but certainly nothing to complain about.

The atmosphere was quite nice and added to the overall experience. However, one minor drawback was the lack of attentiveness from the staff after our mains were served. No one came over to check if we needed anything further or if we were ready for desserts, so we had to call someone over and wait.

Despite this small issue, I was overall satisfied with the visit. I’d recommend trying Ishtar at least once, it’s not necessarily an everyday restaurant, but definitely worth a visit. Best wishes to the team!

I liked the atmosphere.
Very elegant place.
The service was great.
Food was OK but not substantially different to Turkish restaurants across London with better presentation.

Great Turkish food and superb friendly service. Service was quite fast when we went on a Saturday evening.  Very convenient location to public transport

A narrow menu results in perfect execution.  Delicious, great service, lovely atmosphere.  Would definitely visit again.

Reubens Deli & Restaurant

If u fancy a clear chicken soup, this is the place you have to go in London. It doesn’t look extremely special but the taste is truly exceptional.

Staff are energetic and helpful! This is a place I will come back in my next trip!

Nice redecoration, great service and our food was outstanding. Two complaints though:
1) The Reubens Salt Beef Sandwich is too big. Even my mouth couldn't get around it but I managed.
2) If you are disabled or with a disabled person(s) in your party, the toilet is downstairs and no lift. So the stairs are the only option.
PS. My chicken soup was the best I've ever had, full of flavour with no grease floating on top. Price point is spot on by today prices. Whereas in the past, found it was always pushing the boundaries.

Fast casual meat restaurant near central London. Signature salted beef was pretty good. Service was pretty poor. Had trouble accommodating gluten free/celiac safe food.

Reubens is a high-class restaurant with a luxurious and meticulous atmosphere. The food is excellent  ​​high-quality, delicious and impressively presented. The service is professional and warm, which makes the experience special. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend!
The staff are lovely and the service- exceptional, the salt beef sandwich on rye and the fried mushrooms in particular are delicious!

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Baker Street

Best smash burgers. The rosemary chips were otherworldly. Their smash burger (order the double one) was so good. Edges crisped to perfection while still maintaining flavor. The person who served me was very kind. I ate here for dinner but I think they have a lunch promo. Overall a good place to catch a burger.

Delicious burgers!
The location is cozy and has ground+first seating. Service is polite and well informed.

The burgers we had were really good, and so was the coleslaw. I found the portions to be a bit unbalanced, with the burgers relatively small and the quantity of chips excessive.

They also offer Bluelight discount, with one card covering 4 people.

Good experience overall.

Service was very good.
I picked the lunch menu smash burger +1 patty. I was confident. Despite the quality bun and a good cheese, the patties were average. The smash is hard to nail. Next time I will pick a regular burger to confirm my review.
Other than that, the appetisers for 2 were very small and the halloumi was not good quality.
The fries were ok and the mint lemonade was great.

Holy cow....

Made a panic stop due to rain and was lucky enough to get a table for 3 at The Honest Burger on a Friday at 8pm.

Within minutes we were seated by our really friendly and welcoming waitress.

After carefully going through the entire menu, we ended up ordering The Chilli, The Tribute and The Beef burgers.

All menus are served with fries - without extra cost..... (not all is about profit 🥳).

Being really hungry, we decided to share a Rings and Wings - finger licking  chicken wings and crispy onion rings.

I really enjoyed the Botanic Garden cocktail and the Brooklyn Brewery pilsner was big and cold - just the way they should be.

I've had a lot of burgers - but The Tribute, was one of the best I ever had..... So juicy and really tasty.

So what are you waiting for. Come down a meet the lovely staff and enjoy the burgers, cocktails and of course the burgers. Yes I'm being honest 😂

One of my favourite places to get a good quality burger in London. 10/10

The food here is absolutely fantastic, with limited time menu items that change every couple months, often in collaboration with another food business with their product featuring in the burger. Additionally, the wings here are some of the best I have ever had, with so much flavour and crunch but not dry!

This particular location is pretty small and means during busy times there will be a more cramped experience. However, the service is amazing and I feel the smaller size takes very little away from the whole experience which is absolutely wonderful.

Staff were quick to sit us down and our waitress was so sweet. The service was just a 10/10.

I recommend this place to everyone to try once if they have the opportunity ❤️. Great to bring friends for a more casual lunch or even a great place for a second date.

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.

Taco Bell

I had to wait over 15 minutes for my order, even though no one else was in the shop at first. The staff were busy with online orders, which caused delays. As time went on, the shop became overcrowded, making the experience even more frustrating. Tables weren’t clean either. I recommend hiring more staff and improving cleanliness to better handle both online and in-store customers.

I ordered an XL fries box expecting a generous portion, but what I received was barely half of what I’d normally get from a regular-sized box. I feel completely ripped off and it’s frustrating to spend £3 and walk away still hungry. If I wanted a tiny portion, I would’ve just ordered a regular one and saved my money. It’s disappointing when customers are misled like this. I don’t appreciate being short-changed, and I hope this is addressed so others don’t experience the same.

Arrived for takeaway at lunch midweek. Food was high quality for fast food, no complaints there. Staff were overworked and communication wasn’t spot on but food was acquired relatively speedily given how busy it was. Dining area was pretty clean if a bit cramped, but disabled toilet was absolutely disgusting; wee everywhere, brown toilet - hovering was required and floor sopping wet. Would return but would not use the toilet again.

The food is good the tacos was cheaper and Tasty too. No doubt it’s cheap so you can’t expect the high quality taste but it’s good with the quality. I have no complaints about food quantity. I enjoy the food at 1.99 pound only the cheeses taco 🌮 roll.
If you want to go for take away this is the best options with the good taste too.

HORRIBLE FRIED CHICKEN 😬🍗

Been to Taco Bell a few times. It’s no Gordon Ramsey, but it’s good for what it is. The fried chicken was horrible today - couldn’t finish eating the really bad ones - level of horrible.

I think they just used the oil for too long. I’m not sure, but what matters is the chicken just wasn’t as good as usual and there was this horrible aftertaste. 😬

Chick ‘n’ Sours style flavour and flair

We wern’t really burger people, but since trying the delicious burgers at BurgerUK we’ve been on the hunt for more! 🍔

Food: Both the burgers were amazing! We ordered the Gangnam Style and Japanese Katsu Curry Burgers. The battered chicken fillets were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just how we like it. The Cheesy Fries were delicious and so were the Chicken Wings (we ordered hot and there was definitely a kick to them!)

Awesome free range chicken burgers from @lovechikn. Juicy, crispy and tender chicken burger...and halal!

@halalfoodguy's review of Chik'n Marylebone on Instagram

Chicken Shop

Started eating my sandwich only to notice pink spots through out it. Very unfortunate as a place specializing in chicken should be efficient and accurate when cooking their chicken to ensure it is white all the way though — any other than that puts me at risk of salmonella so I had to trash it —wasted 10 pounds
UPDATE: I returned to the shop and showed them the photos. They were kind about it and offered me a new sandwich or a refund, I went with refund as I had lost my appetite. They were kind about it and explained how they double fry to try and prevent that but sometimes it falls through the cracks. Improved my review as amazing customer service response

If you're after crispy, flavour-packed fried chicken in London, this is the place to be. The chicken is incredibly juicy, double-coated for crunch, and packed with seasoning and sauces that instantly remind you why you came for comfort food

The staff here really make the experience. I had the pleasure of being served by Abdul, who was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and walked me through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. His service really adds warmth to the visit and gives the place a welcoming vibe.

I went to Chicken Shop and really liked it. The food was fresh and tasty. I had a chicken burger — the chicken was crispy outside and soft inside. The bun was soft, and the lettuce and sauce made it even better.

The fries were nice and crunchy. I also tried the loaded fries with chicken, sauce, and some spicy powder on top — very yummy and full of flavour.

The place was clean and the service was fast. Even though it was busy, the food came out hot and fresh.

I had a great time here. If you like chicken, you should try this place.

5 out of 5 stars from me!

Just great chicken and fries! All of it was fresh,hot and tasty. I got the honey soy tenders and Korean loaded fries. The Korean fries are quite spicy but in a good way!

Service is also really friendly but not too overbearing either. Highly recommend coming here over the KFC down the road

Delicious thai burger with lots of veggies, the fries are crispy and a huge portion as well. And bottomless drinks on top of that. The food is not oily so we enjoyed every bite without feeling stuffed. The milkshake is almost like ice cream. The staff is extremely helpful, starting with the ordering, telling every detail about the food, later even asking us whether we need ketchup for the fries. Recommended for everybody.

Only the chicken is Halal, verbally confirmed by staff. Halal sign in the Window. Alcohol is served.

You Me Sushi

I used to come here very often for lunch, and I find the sushi to be very fresh and of good quality for the price. They also have a loyalty card after 10 stamps, you get one free.
The staff are very friendly, and Nasso in particular is always kind and helpful! Thank you!

We came several times during our staying London. Stuff is very friendly and attentive. We were ordering sushi and they were very tasty each time. Plenty of salmon, rice was well cooked.

Came here to use my Paace points, and used points to have £5 off for a lunch, which was very decent. The staff here was nice and friendly, and the environment was clean. It was quiet and peaceful during the lunch time on Sunday.

Great fresh food, only a few veggie sushi options however. My son likes salmon but not too much, but there were only large portions. Maybe a box a mix of veg and salmon which is lighter and less filling would be great. Overall good.

Really enjoy it here and see Nasser regularly who is very polite and is always asking if everything is all okay with my meal. Really appreciate the service and food quality here, which is consistently good

We have recently improved our processes to remove mirin (alcohol) from our preparation process. All our chicken tempura is halal but our chicken gyoza is not halal.

Upscale Indian dishes from the southwest coast using fish and coconut

Trishna @trishnalondon is one of few halal Indian Michelin stared restaurants in London and has been on my list for a long time. They offer a decent lunch bites menu, where 2 dishes £19 per person, 3 for £24, 4 for £29 and 5 for £34. I ordered a total of 6 dishes which are the following, plus lamb chops from the la carte menu for £18.
Starters
Paneer tikka anardana [fried onion, mint, corn & pomegranate chat]
Punjabi vegetable samosa chat [chickpea masala, tamarind, sweet yoghurt]
Mains
Andhra lamb masala [curry leaf, coastal spices]
Moplah seafood biryani [seabass, shellfish, coriander, pink peppercorn raita]
Sides
Bread basket, basmati rice, Hyderabadi dal and wild mustard potatoes
Desserts
Gajar halwa [heritage carrot pudding, masala chai kulfi, cake]
Cardamom kheer [fig, raisin, pistachio, cardamom]

First of all, there was a lot of food and the portions where great, I was very pleased with the amount of food that arrived, I was very well fed and stuffed after lunch. I have to say I was expecting more for a Michelin stared restaurant, apart from the lamb chops nothing stood out or really made an impression. The lamb chops where very thick and very good, cooked well and Burnt on the outside not dry, and very juicy and moist inside infused with a tandoori flavour a very good piece of meat here. 
Venue wise, the space is small and similar to a cafe in shoreditch, I was expecting better from the decor and the service was rather average for a one star Michelin. Booking was required and we were shown to out table at 1.45pm straight away. I just felt the staff where slight unattentive. Each meal was introduced when brought to the table as standard by a restaurant with a Michelin Star. 
The total bill was under £70 which is very good considering it is a Michelin starred restaurant. However, after leaving I noticed that they charged me for 2 dishes per person and not 3. 😂😃 Full review will be posted on www.halalfoodguy.co.uk 
Chicken and lamb halal only.

@halalfoodguy's review of Trishna Marylebone on Instagram

Trishna

Excellent dining experience on my first trip to London! I had the summer tasting menu that’s available for lunch and early dinner, and it was the best Indian food I’ve ever had.

I ordered the quail appetizer, salmon appetizer, and eggplant curry main - all were outstanding and delicately spiced, with so many layers of flavor and textures. The mango cheesecake dessert was a wonderful end. I also felt welcomed as a solo diner which was appreciated.

We chose Trishna to celebrate my husband’s birthday and oh boy, it did not disappoint. They had a summer tasting menu which was a great way to try the different flavours. Very well deserved Michelin star ⭐

Beautiful restaurant in a historic building with great interior design. Creative cocktails 🍹

For the starters, the Koliwala prawns and squid were outstanding. The beef curry with the fermented rice pancake was the star of the show as my husband’s main, but for me the grilled salmon is a dish I’ll be dreaming of for a long time. I never had such well cooked salmon and the curry leaf marinade was perfect.

Friendly and professional staff who answered our questions about the food and helped us chose. Nice touch with a slice of birthday cake at the end of the meal 🍰

The food is amazing. The set lunch for £55 is a brilliant deal. The choice for non-meat eaters is great.
The staff are all great, they are friendly, helpful and kind.
The Slovenian wine is really lovely.
Trishna is a fantastic restaurant experience and my wife and I both love it. They are fully deserving of their Michelin *.

5 star experience! Very friendly and helpful service. We explained our dietary restrictions and were given several recommendations for the tasting menu. The meal was excellent. We selected five courses thinking they would be small like other tasting menus we have experienced, but the portions were very generous. We ended up taking some home with us. The shrimp and squid starter and salmon were our favorite dishes but everything we tried was delicious. We went for my birthday and they brought out a candle to make it special. It was a delicious and memorable experience and we highly recommend this restaurant.

Had the 4 course lunch set menu here. The restaurant is certainly deserving of it's Michelin star status. The starters in particular were delicious and the chefs had really taken classic Indian flavours/dishes and presented them in a unique way. I really enjoyed the experimentation of flavours and thought they worked incredibly well. The main course was very good, but not as outstanding as the other dishes - the flavours itself were authentic and delicious, but could have been a little stronger to match the punchy flavours of the other courses. The service was excellent. Great atmosphere too.

I would have given them 5 stars, but the only reason I knocked one off, is because I developed mild food poisoning. It was the only meal I had the whole day, and I do not have a medical condition that could have been the cause. I am also used to food that is spicier than what I had, so it was not the spice. This was as big a surprise to me, as all the food was served piping hot. The only culprit could have been the prawn relish (which was delicious) served with the papadams. I hope management will maybe review food storage/handling protocols. Would I go again - absolutely, it was worth it!

Our chicken, lamb and goat is Halal. There is no pork on the menu and we prepare separately to non-Halal ingredients to avoid cross-contamination. Alcohol is served.

Food: Our favourite item was the Chicken Samosa Chaat 🤤. I also enjoyed the Hakka Chilli Paneer but N wasn’t a fan as he found the paneer quite rubbery and tough to chew. For mains, we ordered the Railway Lamb Curry and Pulusu Chicken, which were both okay but didn’t blow us away.. the curries tasted alot more like Bangladeshi curries rather than Indian.
Service: It was really busy on the night that we went so it was quite hard to catch the attention of staff.

Roti Chai

I came here today by chance as we were looking for a nice Indian lunch to have that was not too heavy. We walked in and were greeted by a lovely lady who sat us in a booth. The offered us menus and the options were amazing. I’m a vegetarian but my husband is not and there were options for all. We ended up ordering the Pani Puri, the Papdi Chaat and the Aloo Ghobi Mattar with some rice. The flavour of the aloo ghobi was a perfect combination of spicy and depth of flavours without being too chili hot. I loved it. The pani puri was fabulous and the mint dressing with it was outstanding and serving was generous! The papdi chaat was fabulous as well. The servers were lovely, attentive and kind! We had Jeena serve us this afternoon and she explained things clearly and described the dishes perfectly helping me choose what I wanted! As you can see, while I’m no food critique with my words, this is the best I can do… if only my tastebuds could speak!

Thank you very much to Ajay (he's the best) for his help and service during our diner. The place was amazing, the food fabulous, and the service was top notch. We'll come back for sure!

If you're craving Indian food in London, this spot is definitely worth checking out. The menu offers a solid variety of dishes, and I was impressed by the authenticity of the flavors. The roti was light and flaky, perfectly paired with rich, tasty curries. The atmosphere is laid-back, making it a nice place to hang out with friends. Service was friendly and prompt, which made my experience even better. Definitely a go-to for a satisfying meal that hits the spot.

Good but have had better, good for central London so it's a valid option. Fairly priced also. Worth the try.

Halal food menu, alcohol served,

The warm aromas of spices promised an authentic Indian dining experience. Service was attentive with friendly staff.
Whether you are a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Lebanese wraps in a modern space with pavement tables and patio heaters

Lazeez Lebanese Tapas

I had a lovely experience at Lazeez! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful — every bite felt homemade yet elevated. The hummus, mixed grill, and halloumi were absolute highlights.

The restaurant is small but very clean, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. The staff were super kind, attentive, and professional — they made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

I also loved the Turkish coffee at the end — a beautiful touch to close the meal.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with great service, delicious Lebanese food, and a personal touch, Lazeez is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

First time, honestly couldn’t be happier. Food was SO yum! Service impeccable, atmosphere was super family friendly and comfortable. They even gave Turkish tea with baklava at the end, was insanely good! Would definitely come back and recommend to all.

Lazeez Tapas in London was an absolute gem! We had the meaty hummus board – perfectly seasoned and incredibly satisfying. The complimentary mint tea was a lovely touch and added to the warm, welcoming vibe. The staff were amazing – friendly, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. Emilio, the owner, was great – he had an engaging, down-to-earth chat with us that made the experience even more personal. 100% will go again. Highly recommended!

I have visited it once.

We chose the hummus board, the fattoush salad, the mixed grill board, and the Arabic tea.

The hummus was excellent, very flavorful, and the salad was refreshing. However, the platter with the meats was disappointing because the meat was very dry and tough.

The tea was okay, while the dessert was very tasty.

The staff was helpful and polite, and although the space was small, it was well-maintained.

Finally, the prices were quite high given the portion sizes and quality. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, nor would I return.

Absolutely phenomenal experience! The food was exquisite—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight. The service was top tier: attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Will definitely return!

JustEat UK

Ordered via Uber eats, stale food. Delivery was on time so can’t put the blame on the delivery driver. Food was not fresh clearly left in the display heater for too long especially the wings. Horrible food and service. Tried calling them no one to answer the phone either.

It was not busy at all, but the service was extremely poor. I requested table service, yet the person who got my order failed to provide tissues and a fork. When I asked for these, he simply pointed me to get them myself.

Their fries are really really good and the food comes piping hot but I’m deducting points because I ordered 10 hot wings and was only able to eat about 5 cuz they were really bloody and not cleaned properly. But everything else was good👍 the restaurant wasn’t too noisy and service was a tad slow but that’s just because the food is hot and fresh so it’s worth the wait

Gravy served here was scorching hot, it burnt my tongue. If I was a child I would have received third degree burns. No way is it a safe temperature. Spoke to the manager who didn't apologise or seem to care or even respond to me. Terrible management. Law suit for you guys pending

Awful customer service today 5th June 2025, do you teach your staff how to say please and thank you? Why are staff not speaking English to each other? The food was very average not great tasting. But more importantly your staff are awful get them lessons on customer service ASAP.

HFA has certified KFC's products in these stores, and the store environments, as halal. KFC has also ensured that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards employed in the UK, and has consulted leading animal welfare groups about this. KFC insists that all poultry is stunned before slaughter. HFA allows the use of a technique called 'stun-to-stun' - a pain free process that makes the animal insensible to pain and suffering. A verse is also recited from the Quran at the point of slaughter by an appropriate person and the poultry will not come into contact with non-halal meat at any point in the supply chain. KFC only buys high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, and this will not change.

Guilt-free, simple and nutritious dishes to enhance your mind, body and soul

Simple Health Kitchen

Healthy… But not on your wallet!

Popped into Simple Health Kitchen for the teriyaki salmon flavour? On point. Portion? Let’s just say the salmon blinked and my plate was empty. Came with a scoop of sweet potato and a sprinkle of broccoli trying their best.

Was it good? Yeah. Was it £14 good? Let’s be honest… feels more like a gym membership than a meal. 😂
But hey, it’s London — daylight robbery comes with a side of greens. 💸🥦

Simple Health Kitchen strikes a perfect balance between indulgence and wellness. For a fast food spot, it’s impressive how they maintain high-quality standards while offering solid vegan options. Whether you’re plant-based by choice or just looking for a lighter bite, their dishes don’t compromise on flavor or comfort. The atmosphere is just as welcoming—warm, friendly, and never pretentious. It’s the kind of spot where you can enjoy feel-good food that’s both nourishing and delicious.

Great and  healthy breakfast selection, delicious fresh juices smoothies and homemade sweets!! Super friendly service definitely will be back for more goodies

Absolutely love Simple Health Kitchen! Delicious, fresh, and truly healthy food. My favorite spot for a wholesome meal. You won't be disappointed!

Lovely warm atmosphere but! The food is overpriced!!! I loved the service, they were quick and friendly. They had healthy choices too but it all wasn’t worth how much I spent sadly 😞 and to add more little parts to my order wouldn’t added a whole other bill! I don’t know if I’d go again, if I do, it’d probably be for the vibes 😅 anddd.. ⬇️

OH MY! BUT ONE THING ID RECOMMEND 1000 times again and again is the Banana Cake! 😩 that was the best cake I’ve ever eaten! My friend ordered it and gave me a piece, it was too good!

Unfussy halal Eastern dishes including grilled meat and fish at a cafe-style Iranian restaurant

Patogh

Authentic Persian/Iranian food. Great taste. Freshly made food. Tried their lamb kebabs. Restaurant is very small. Extra seating upstairs. Been going to this restaurant for many years. The interior needs some attention to improve the ambiance of the place.

This restaurant was absolutely fabulous. Small and not pricey. Freshly prepared food which was delicious and generous in portions. Complementary bread and dip. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend anyone to go and eat there . Worth the trip. Helena

I liked the rustic interior and the place has a charm to it. Service was very friendly. The food was kind of mediocre. Big portion but the kebab tasted I dunno, a bit undercooked and not the tastiest. I regret not having the bread instead of rice but the salad was fresh enough. Cost £15 which was fine.

As lovers of Persian food, we had high hopes - but unfortunately, this place was a real letdown. The food was incredibly bland, lacking any of the rich seasoning or flavour you’d expect. The rice, usually buttery and aromatic, was plain, and the kebabs were dry and overcooked, not juicy or tender.

We ordered the traditional mint yoghurt drink, but it was so sour we genuinely wondered if it had gone off - or worse, if we’d been given someone else’s leftovers.

We paid £50 for two people: two minced meat kebabs with rice, bread, and hummus. Somehow, the server brought us the most expensive options without clarifying, when we’d asked for plain naan and two glasses of the yoghurt drink (£2 each), instead, we were given a £6 jug. These price differences matter, especially when the food doesn’t deliver.

Overall, not worth the money or the experience. We won’t be returning.

Great customer service and same rusty atmosphere but sadly the food is vile cheaply made undercooked kababs, watery rice 🍚 and old salad 🥗 plus the tea was particularly bad. Please stay away from this place it’s not each cheap it’s £15 for a nasty Kabab you’re better off finding another Persian. As, I got a feeling no real Persians work there anymore or if they do they have become so greedy that they selling nasty food as fake good value you have been warned. The picture looks great but food so pure vile and nasty..this is a community announcement 📢 there are much better Persian restaurants nearby!

Artisan Lebanese ice cream and hot chocolate

Festok

Festok is hands-down one of the best ice cream spots in the area — if not the best.

I had the vanilla pistachio, and it was absolutely incredible. The texture was super smooth and creamy, and the pistachios on top added the perfect crunch and rich, nutty flavour. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.

The shop itself is clean, modern, and welcoming. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the menu has plenty of unique flavours, including vegan options.

Highly recommend Festok if you’re looking for a top-notch gelato experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavours!

We stopped by Festok and tried their lovely ice cream and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the staff were very welcoming and created a warm, friendly atmosphere.

The ice cream itself was absolutely delicious rich in flavour and clearly made with quality ingredients. You can really taste the difference. Whether you’re a casual sweet tooth or a full-on ice cream fanatic, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Highly recommend Festok to anyone looking to treat themselves. Add it to your list it’s a hit!

Best rose ice cream I’ve ever had and top  2 pistachio flavour I’ve ever had (and I’ve had 50-100 pistachio ice creams around the world). The rose is pungent, fragrant and delicious without any bitterness. The owner explained that it’s due to the low air content of the ice creams. This place is amazing! Highly recommend.

@festoklondon has super yummy Lebanese ice cream! I loved my rose ice cream covered with pistachio crumbles. The sticky texture and the light flavor were delicious!

Love love love their ice-cream and knafeh so much! The knafeh tastes very authentic and the ice-cream is incredible.
The only downside is if you go on a day that isn’t very busy, the knafeh will not be fresh and it will be heated up instead, which is a bit disappointing.
Otherwise, I highly recommend it!

Everything on our menu is suitable for a Halal diet.

Tossed Baker Street (Marylebone)

The food was absolutely delicious and service was great. One complaint is that almost near to finishing my food I bit into what felt like little gritty glass bits. I cant even tell what it could be but i rubbed it against the table and it's definitely not edible. I managed to spit the biggest bit out and rinsed my mouth. Attached is a video.

I am a regular in this place. A wholesome goodness in a bowl. As I can make and mix the salad myself, I don't feel bored easy for having the salad for my lunch every weekday.
Everything is fast and practical. Clean and tasty!
This one that I am having is Spinach and Supergrain for the base, smoked salmon and avocado for protein, edamame, pesto, jalapeno, sweet corn and sweet potato for the veggies, and olive oil plus lemon juice for the dressing!

Had a chicken Caesar avocado salad for lunch.
The salad was nice (except for some leaves that were visibly gone) but I would have expected more chicken and avocado in it for the price charged.
12£ for a salad it is a bit on the expensive side considering the amount of ingredients.

So the beauty of this place is you make your own salad. So far so good? The reason I will never visit here again is they are rip off merchants or thieves. I added two proteins and got none. Even when I went back to the counter and raised my query with the staff they simply poured the contents into a larger bowl, pushed around the salad and said just the proteins are there simply dismissing my query. This is poor restauranteur-ship, poor management, poor training for staff this is simply somewhere to avoid. There’s many options. Why pay a premium if what you want isn’t provided ?

Tossed not only offers fresh and delicious salads but also maintains excellent hygiene standards. The staff were super friendly and provided top-notch customer service. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a healthy and delightful salad experience! 🥗🌟😍

Our chicken is Halal. We serve pork in some stores.

Opulently decorated Middle Eastern restaurant and cocktail bar with belly dancers

Levant

The venue itself was great looking, very spacious but down lots of stairs. Some chairs are quite low and not log of legroom under some tables. Delicious smells. Service was good. Our group had pre ordered so when we were ready food started coming out. Everything I ate was delicious and I tasted other dishes. All lovely. Cons - I found the food expensive, 12% service charge added and only 2 very small ladies cubicles. However I would go again  to try some other dishes. Great entertainment with bellydancers who invited diners to dance with them. Had a great evening overall. I have posted a few pics of food selection but we had lots more.

The decor is beautiful! I think the menu is a bit limited and it seems a bit pricey, but nonetheless, the food was very tasty + filling. Very friendly staff. It's very nice to walk into, the back street would never allow you to assume something so beautiful is hidden inside. Literally like a cave of wonders!

Amazing restaurant with great decorations. The food has been spectacular, we have eaten many dishes of Arabic, Lebanese and Moroccan influences, with intense and very tasty textures and flavors. Very cheap prices for a medium high level of food. For me one of the best restaurants in London. Thanks for all Mr. Tony from Chefnaranja

The best place in Wigmore street so authentic and beautifully decorated  great belly dancing entertainment. Went here for Birthday dinner lovely all round

Incredible atmosphere, beautiful dancers and huge portions of excellently prepared food. The starters were more than enough food but the main was so tasty we couldn't resist. Not cheap but very reasonable for the experience.

We had nut and sesame allergies on our table which the staff took very seriously, clearly letting us know which meals were for who. A really impressive service and beautiful attention to detail. Will definitely visit again.

Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

Nando's Baker Street

Went to Nando’s and had the Chicken Platter plus a soft drink. The food was tasty, and the chicken was cooked well. Sides like corn and broccoli were fresh and nicely grilled. Service was good, and we were lucky not to wait too long for a table. The bill for two of us came to £33, which felt reasonable. Overall, a positive experience. I’d come back again!

The only way to get a server is to scan the QR code!  However, they don’t tell you this! We kept waiting on a server and finally someone at the table beside us told us! The food was good and atmosphere nice

Haven’t been for such a long time and finally got to try the new loaded fries, I heard some reviews saying people didn’t like it but I enjoyed it!
Went with a big group of people and had a really great time, we got lucky with the wait time we had 12 people coming and were told it would be a 30 min wait but after sitting for about 3 mins they had a table ready for us
Great staff

Such a friendly vibe. I loved all the selection of different sauces. The restaurant was very clean and tidy. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere.
Tried the Halloumi Sticks and the honey dip. Melty and very nice. The food arrived very fast.
Had the chicken wings, medium heat sauce, fries and corn. A good seasoning on everything. Chicken was fairly juices, not to dry. The sauces really did shine.

We popped inside here for dinner after a busy day of touring and were extremely pleased. We ordered the chicken platter for two with two chicken thighs, and two chicken wings as well as three sides and it was very delicious. We loved the addition of the bottomless drinks and the sauces as well as the giant sink to rinse our hands right in the eating area. The chicken was very well cooked and all the sides were delicious.

We have 385 restaurants, 72 of which serve only Halal chicken and are signposted both in the restaurant and online. A small proportion of chicken sold in our other restaurants may also be Halal.

Swanky Pakistani restaurant tucked away behind Marble Arch station

Zayna

We’ve been coming here for almost 12 years. In the constant sea of change it is the one constant perfection. Overall we never had a bad or even mediocre experience. The food is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommend! One of the best restaurants in town, absolutely worth the money.

Zayna Restaurant is a true hidden gem in Marylebone for authentic Pakistani & Indian food.

We’ve been coming here for years, and the flavours never disappoint.

Favourites include lamb kebabs with cheese, samosas, chilli cheese & garlic naan, plus their lamb & chicken karahi.

On our recent visit, a friend from Indonesia—who loved it here before—immediately chose to return.

The staff were wonderful as always: Manager Mr. Sajjad guided us through new dishes, and CEO Mr. Rizwan Dar personally welcomed our guest, making the evening extra special.

Delicious food, warm hospitality, and a team that truly cares—Zayna remains one of London’s best dining experiences©

I had a lovely time here with my friends.
Great atmosphere, well decorated and welcoming place and service. Food was very tasty. beautiful and cosy ambience.
I would defiantly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful experience at this lovely Pakistani restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. A special mention to Sajjad, who looked after us so well throughout the evening — he was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect for us.

The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavours and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

Highly recommend visiting — we will definitely be coming back soon!

No complaints.   The service is exemplary.

The food is superb.    I asked for a separate side dish hot curry and it was sublime.

Not the most extensive menu but this is the West End and not some grimy Brick Lane dump.

Recommended!
