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!

Patty&Bun James Street

Had dinner at Patty & Bun recently and it was a really enjoyable experience. I went with my kids and right from the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and patient (which is always appreciated when dining with children!). The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy the meal.

The food itself was delicious. I ordered their burgers and I highly recommend asking for them to be cooked medium — it makes a noticeable difference. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The kids were happy too, which is always the real test. They tried the chicken nuggets and absolutely loved them — crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not the generic frozen style you get in some places.

We also ordered chips on the side, and they were spot on: nice, crispy, and served hot. Nothing soggy or oily, just the perfect crunch.

The waiting time was reasonable as well; we came around dinner time and our food arrived in about 10 minutes, which is quite good considering how busy the place can get.

Overall, Patty & Bun delivered exactly what you’d want from a great burger spot — tasty food, friendly staff, and a comfortable atmosphere for families. Would definitely go again. 🍔✨

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.

I tried this burger ( LAMBSHANK REDEMPTION ) , and it was genuinely impressive. The patty was juicy and full of flavor, cooked perfectly without being dry or greasy .The bun was soft but held its shape well, making every bite enjoyable.

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

Just ordered two Don Burgers from Patty & Bun for takeaway, along with two portions of chips topped with cheese and onions — and everything was absolutely delicious. The burgers were juicy and full of flavour, and the cheesy onion chips were the perfect match. Even as a takeaway, the food arrived fresh, hot, and incredibly satisfying. Patty & Bun really delivers on quality every time. Highly recommend!

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

Acacus Libyan Restaurant

Highly recommend couscous.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. The food was delicious and felt very authentic — the flavours were rich and comforting.

The lamb was especially impressive: tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The appetisers were also amazing, with fresh bread and flavourful dips that paired beautifully together.

Highly recommended! I would definitely come back again. had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. The food was delicious and felt very authentic — the flavours were rich and comforting.

Highly recommended! I would definitely come back again.

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.

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.

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

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

Acacus

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

The waitstaff and food at Trishna is incredible! I have never had flavors or dishes like those at Trishna, and I have been able to dine at higher-end Indian establishments in London. I would highly recommend Trishna to anyone looking for a special meal while in London!
The Festive Tasting menu was so tasty and great portions - scallops, salmon, lamb, and much more. The wine pairing was also exceptional.
The staff is so kind and really took care of me and my husband. We will be back!!

Never walked into a Michelin starred restaurant by mistake, so glad I did. Did the lunch special, which is a total bargain at 55£ for 4 dishes. Added the tandoori lamb shank, that was a great idea. The food was fabulous, service impeccable, and bill was way below what I would expect from a restaurant of this level. Definitely the highlight of my weekend.

We came here to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and were wowed by the menu here. It is so unique and geared towards coastal cuisine. The service was really good. We can highly recommend the morel and the chicken chops in starters. The kofta was really good as well. We need to come back here to try the rest of the menu. We were given complimentary dessert for celebration.

We had a fantastic experience at Trishna celebrating my wife’s birthday!

Service: From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel special. They greeted us with warm birthday wishes. A special thanks to Aneshwar, who went out of his way to accommodate our vegetarian preferences by modifying the weekday lunch set menu—it made the experience feel personal and inclusive. Call out to Preeta too for being extremely courteous through the meal. We were given fresh Plates & cutlery after every course, which added to the experience, since we didn’t mix dishes.

Food: The set menu was generous and filling, with a refined twist on Indian classics. Standouts included the aubergine vathakal, kofta, broccoli in tandoor and the unforgettable desserts—payesh and kheer, which were beautifully balanced and full of flavour.

Drinks: We’ve heard great things about their wine pairings, which are apparently excellent. Sadly, we didn’t get to try them this time—but definitely something to come back for.

The only slight downside was the Belu water being the only option at £3.50pp. It would be nice to have tap water offered as well.

All in all, a wonderful meal, exceptional service, and a warm, celebratory atmosphere. Highly recommended—especially for special occasions!

The food was simply outstanding — a masterclass in refined Indian cuisine. Every dish was beautifully balanced, bursting with authentic flavor yet presented with modern finesse. The soft shell crab and Hyderabadi lamb were absolute standouts, and the wine pairing complemented the spices brilliantly.

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.

Artisan Lebanese ice cream and hot chocolate

Festok

I ordered the kunafa with pistachio ice cream and it was absolutely delicious. The portion was generous and enough for two people. The pistachios were very fresh, the service was fast, and the prices were reasonable. Overall, an excellent experience and definitely recommended!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Distinctly below average.  We stopped here to get a variety of sushi to take home for dinner… what was to have been a treat was a real disappointment…  bland, uninspiring and rather tasteless.  There are so many better places to go. Won’t be back.

Definitely the best sushi in the area: very fresh and tasty.

I had been coming here regularly for more than a year and never been disappointed.

Staff very polite and friendly.

Very reccomend.

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.

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.

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!)
Service: Service was decent.

Chicken Shop

This is the second chicken shop I try and it is spacious there, clean, nice and the staff so friendly. When I was clicking on the screens to make the order, one friendly young man of the staff came up to me and told me to tell him if I needed any help. The food was amazing, the chips and the chicken burger. I will be back next time I visit London.

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

Stopped here for a quick bite. Shop is nicely located in baker Street, very clean and food is nice. The fries were the best and crispiest.

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.

It was my first try and I really liked the food. Environment was clean and Abdul helped us for our order and he showed us best sellers. Lovely experience! I would definitely visit again.

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

@twopeasfoodies's review of Roti Chai Marble Arch on Instagram

Roti Chai

Stumbled across this place, and it looked good with a small queue waiting to go in.

Couldn’t get a table for the upstairs street food area, so opted for a table in the slightly more formal dining room downstairs.

First impressions were good, with a relaxed moody vibe. I had a beer at the bar then was led to my table.

I went for the garlic prawn starter which came out very quickly, but somehow was lukewarm. Tasted ok.

My main of slow cooked lamb in a saffron sauce took much longer. It was ok, but nothing special. There wasn’t much lamb, and what was there was too fatty for me.
Rice was lumped together, and the roti was too well done (more like a poppadum).

The longer I was there, the worse the service became. After asking for the bill 3 times, I got a card machine shoved in my face.

The Bombay Bicycle beer was good though.

I won’t go back, which is a shame as the venue looks great, but the food and service don’t match up.

I’ve visited this restaurant many times, and it’s always my go-to spot for quick Indian food, especially the street food upstairs. On my last visit, I tried the fine dining area downstairs, and it was just as enjoyable, with slightly bigger portions. The photos I’ve shared are from both upstairs and downstairs, showing different menus, and both experiences were excellent. I love this restaurant its always accommodating

Vegetarian dish was so good
Awadhi lamb was so soft
Steamed rice
Rita
Chana masala

Had a lovely time here for dinner (tried their Diwali menu which was such a great deal) - our waiter Zafar was very kind and helpful (particularly grateful for his off-the-menu mango colada, which should be on the menu ASAP!) highly recommend for a good meal and night out :))

Happened upon this place when looking for a not-too-heavy lunch. Smelled amazing from outside, and we were not disappointed. As vegetarians, we had lots of options - choosing pani puri, malai paneer, sabz biryani, tarka daal, and portions of naan and roti to share between two. All truly delicious, with great service. Highly recommend.

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!

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

Lazeez Lebanese Tapas

I recently tried the shakshuka here and it was absolutely amazing! The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the tomato-based sauce was rich, flavorful, and had just the right balance of spices. The presentation in the clay pot made it feel extra authentic and comforting. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Definitely one of the best shakshukas I’ve had — a must-try for anyone who loves hearty, flavorful meals. Highly recommended! 👏🔥🥘

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!

Let me take you to lazeez tapas, right next to Selfridges in the heart of Central London.

From the vibes to the flavours, it’s the spot for your weekend Sheesha hangouts 💨

I tried the Grilled Chicken Taouk Platter, Lazeez Houmous, Falafels, Fattoush Salad, Baklawa & ended my dinner with Moroccan Tea 🍃🫖

Definitely one of my go-to Middle Eastern spots in the city! ✨

Stumbled upon this beautiful place, the vibe was there, the atmosphere was nice and decorative, and for me as always ( service ) the service was on point. Sat down with the owner and had a lovely conversation about family made the experience even more memorable. I say give them a try you won’t regret it.

A wonderful experience, excellent Lebanese cuisine. Delicious lamb, fresh salads, tasty hummus. Attentive and fast service. We didn't have to wait for our food, which was prepared quickly and was of perfect quality and freshness.

All meat served is Halal. Alcohol Served.

Lazeez Tapas

Taco Bell

Such a nicely decorated store, their Christmas decorations are top notch. And what can I say about the grilled cheese menu? It’s too good. The new caramel empanada is just wow. I honestly don’t know how people don’t rate Taco Bell.

Taco Bell is underrated. The food is tasty, affordable, and perfect when you want something quick but satisfying. Wallah their crispy chicken burrito is so good.

Exceptional service by the team. It was my first time in London, and they welcomed us warmly. They helped us choose what to order and even guided us to nearby tourist spots. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced.

I didn't know that taco bell could be messed up but somehow they did it. The kiosks were  out of order and the place was filthy. Our order was wrong, my crunchwrap came with tomatoes after I requested they be removed, and all of our orders came lacking in sauce and they were wrapped very poorly (falling apart!) Put the Nacho's in the bag and tear down the store. 🙏

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.

Reubens Deli & Restaurant

Absolutely Fantastic Experience at Reubens Deli

I went to Reubens Deli last night for dinner with two friends and we honestly had such a great time. Simi, the restaurant manager, personally looked after us and made the whole evening feel special.

We tried a bit of everything:  the Reubens soup, shawarma plate, pastrami plate, chicken thigh in pita, freshly made fries (from real potatoes!), chopped liver with crackers, pastrami roll, and the chicken avocado salad. Everything was fresh, flavourful and clearly made on site. The food came out together just as we asked, and the service was genuinely quick and attentive.

The ambience was lovely too , warm lighting, good music, and a really comfortable atmosphere. Even, Hodaya,  the executive chef came over during our meal to check how everything was and chatted with us about the dishes, which we really appreciated.

Overall, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Great food, great service, great vibe. We’ll definitely be back!

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!

Eventually got a chance to try their dinner menu after its re-opening.  We had the special basement sector for the night and the service was just great.  The dinner host ordered dishes bit by bit, but we were all full before reaching the mains.  Enjoyed the casual but delicious dining experience here.

Excellent salt beef and chicken soup. Worth booking place in advance. It's not cheap but the quality and quantity is good.

Great to return to the meaty Reubens after many years for a salt beef sandwich after several years and it's closure due to 2 (?) fires. Just as good as in the past. Great chips, great latke.....and still the old photos and art deco glass ceiling.

Modern and traditional Turkish dishes with live music and belly dancing

Ishtar

A warm and friendly welcome from Niko. Seated with a great window table. Niko provided great recommendations - which didn't disappoint.

I ordered the lunch special of 3 courses. And in addition I was brought olives plus hummus and warm toast bread - the perfect start to a great Turkish meal.

My entrée were the king prawn skewers - delicious with a ginger and garlic marinade. For main course I ordered the lamb with prune, pear, apricot and couscous - yummy.

And I was so happy with my two dishes and full that I got the baklava to takeaway.

A brilliant Turkish restaurant and massive thanks to Niko for professional, attentive service.

What a night. Me and my sister wanted to celebrate our birthday 🎂🎉🎈at this restaurant. Glad we picked this restaurant 😁! From the beginning our waiter Niko made sure we were served all our food ( including our birthday cake) he was very lovely. The atmosphere was amazing. They had a belly dancer, cabaret act and an amazing DJ. Would 100% come back.  I would recommend this restaurant. The birthday cake tasted absolutely amazing 🤩!

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!

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.

It was the first time to go to Ishtar for our Christmas party and it was a very good choice for us. The food, the service and the show were outstanding. Our waiter Murad was lovely and helpful. I recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy dinner alongside a show. The only thing that can be improved is to add more time for the show!

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Baker Street

Absolutely loved my visit to Honest Burgers on Baker Street! 🍔
The service was super friendly and professional, and the food was just exceptional — fresh, homemade burgers full of flavour. The gravy was insanely good, tasted like it just came straight out of the cooking pot 😋

What really makes this place special though is the General Manager, Murat. He’s so welcoming and really makes sure everyone has a great experience. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers 🙌

Definitely one of the best burger spots around — can’t wait to go back!

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 😂

Honest Burgers

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. 💸🥦

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!

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.

Just ordered delivery from them, had the peri chicken with pesto pasta, hummus and a bannoffe yoghurt pot, all was really nice and I like it has the nutritional info i.e. protein on the qr code.

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

All Meat is Halal, Measures are taken to avoid Cross contamination with Pork. Locally sourced ingredients.

KFC London

Purchased a burger meal box and extra chicken. The chicken was missing and the burger was cold, the cheese I added as an extra was still completely as a slice with no indication of heat to melt it. No lettuce in the burger and fries were soggy. KFC, lives up to its name.

First time here,  but there was no table service (which meant having wait 10 minutes in a packed area by the till) and it was filled with horrible, rude and loud teenage school girls.

The bins were overflowing and the staff overwhelmed.   My order had everything by correct, but it was poorly put together and sloppy.

I expect better from this franchise.  They also only gave away to go bags and offered no trays for dine in customers.

Would not recommend this location,  although it may have been bad timing with the lunch time rush

I had an amazing experience visiting kfc baker street today.
Food quality and food safety were maintained very well.
And staff carried friendly environment.
Over all worth it.

Delicious food great fast service with lots of space to sit down I would highly recommend a stack burger

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.

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.

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

Patogh

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

What started as a simple moment of following an irresistible aroma turned into one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Persian cuisine—or anyone who trusts their nose to lead them to something delicious. The food was exceptional but I also want to appreciate the owner, who was incredibly gentle and welcoming. Their kindness added a personal touch to the entire experience and made the visit feel even more special.

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.

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.

I visited this Iranian restaurant last week with one of my European friends — it was her very first time trying Persian food, and she completely fell in love with it! We ordered kabab koobideh, and the flavour was just perfect — tender, juicy, and beautifully seasoned. She couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was and how it reminded her of home-cooked comfort food, even though it was her first Iranian meal ever!

Although the restaurant wasn’t busy at all, it surprisingly took around 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Still, once it did, the taste made it absolutely worth the wait. The cosy atmosphere, traditional Persian tableware, and nostalgic interior design made the experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again — it’s a lovely place to introduce friends to real Iranian cuisine! 🇮🇷🍢✨

Tossed Baker Street (Marylebone)

Food was good, but strange there is no option to add rice for the “gym food” dishes.

Most gym goers would want this option as carbs are essential!

The staff were kind enough to add this to my order anyway, but this should be a normal option as you already have the rice and its a cheap / high profit margin item.

If this was standard I would go back regularly as I otherwise like the custom system and how it gives you nutritional info etc.

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 visited Tossed Baker Street and ordered the Kimchi Power Bowl — it was absolutely delicious! 😋 The staff were very polite and interactive, creating a really welcoming atmosphere.
A special shoutout to Harsh for his outstanding customer service — he was super friendly, helpful, and made the experience even better.

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.

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

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.

We visited to try the Harissa. But ended up falling in love with the naan and Lahore channai. There was a bit of parking outside, unclear about parking restrictions... The signs were very confusing. However aside from that, the food was really wholesome and comforting. We had it made very mild so we could enjoy it with our family (including a toddler).

My standouts were:
Poppadoms and chutneys
Papri chaat
Lahore channai
Garlic naan
Sooji halwa (ask for extra sliced almonds)

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.

I had an average experience in here, the food is too spicy (hot) as expected from such cuisine. But the spices lacked the usual flavors. The prices are a bit steep. However, the place is so clean and the atmosphere is nice with relaxing music

Vegan Options, Gluten Free Options, All Meat Halal. Free range chicken. Alcohol served.

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!

Food is good, but you have to order it online, and they serve it late. The waiters rarly came to our table. Service slow .

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

This was our second visit to Nandos and we ordered Boneless platter. It was really good and the sauces were excellent. With the complimentary slides with the platter, it was enough for two people. Although we waited for the table, the service was fast.

We tried nandos baker street for 2 days and damn it was toooo goood. The peri peri sauce was the real deal. We ordered deal of two and the spicy rice with rainbow slaw. My friend ordered sarges and I ordered lemonade the lemonade was not good at all.

Coming to service it was too slow. The people on reception are very lazy when workers saw huge queue of the customers queueing up to order food and there is no person on the counter then workers who are just standing there doing nothing should take up the reception and start taking orders but when we look at the workers who were standing there doing nothing they just dont wanna make eye contact with us because deep down they dont wanna take up that duty.

Very less selection of drinks need to be increased.

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.

Nando's

Hoppers Marylebone

This is the first time I have been to Hoppers and I must say it was excellent on every level. They have some excellent cocktails and the food we ordered was absolutely superb. We could not fault the service and the atmosphere was brilliant. The place was packed, but we never had any problems getting food. You have to try the hoppers and the Dosas these are excellent. I would highly recommend the taste that menu if you haven’t been before.

From the moment we walked into Hoppers on Wigmore Street, we knew we were in for something special. The warm lighting, elegant decor, and the faint scent of spices set the tone perfectly.

The food was sublime. Every dish felt thoughtful, bold, and balanced. The hopper itself was light, crisp at the edges, soft in the bowl—ideal for scooping up sauces and “karis.” The black pork kari had deep, rich flavour; tender meat bathed in fragrant spices. The lamb kothu roti was a standout: hearty, aromatic, with just enough char and texture. On the side, the chutneys and sambols elevated the experience—bright, sharp, and perfectly matched to the heavier dishes.

Service deserves its own praise. The staff guided us confidently through the menu, explained unfamiliar terms, and answered questions without rush. Even though the place was busy, we never felt pressured.

Portion sizes were generous for sharing, especially when you order a few dishes among two or more. Prices reflect the quality and location, but never felt inflated.

In short: this is a destination restaurant. For anyone who loves spice, great textures, and cuisine that surprises in the best way—Hoppers on Wigmore Street earns every one of those five stars.

I've given atmosphere 3 because we were seated downstairs. In hindsight, we should have asked for upstairs. We went for lunch, but it felt like we were there for dinner, because it was in the basement. I noticed another couple asked to be moved, and they were able to cater to them, so I'm disappointed that their default is to sit you in the basement. It was far too late into our meal to ask to be moved. I also read reviews about the strict 1hr 15min time slot. We were however not thrown out, but guessing that was because it was not busy. The food was good, had a kick to it and was full of flavour. Drinks, we felt a little underwhelmed with the size of the cocktails, which seemed really small. Service was relaxed and we had to at times ask for things. But it's a good Sri Lankan restaurant, we didn't leave much of the food so that's a good sign. Chicken curry and mutton roll was a hit and of course the hopper.

Food: The spicy squid as a starter was very good. We also ordered Aubergine Curry paired with white rice. It was recommended but we didn't like the curry as much. Seemed to lack the flavor.

Service: Our server was friendly. She made sure we have everything we needed during the meal.

Ambiance: Great for casual or formal dining with friends and family. Unique decor. Seating available inside and outside the restaurant. May need reservation on weekends.

Value: Prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service.

We had an excellent evening and ate very well.
When you’re in a group, you can book a private booth for a quieter experience.
The Sri Lankan and Indian food is divine and very unique.
Nothing to complain about — a great restaurant!

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

Hoppers

One of the warmest welcomes amongst Indians is to ask if one has eaten. So, oota aita?

All our food is Halal and we only source from Halal Certified vendors.
