Barbican Station

The Ivy Asia St Paul's

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Build-your-own ramen, sushi and bubble teas

Uzumaki London

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

KFC London - Farringdon Road

I was trying to enjoy my meal downstairs at KFC on Saturday around 2pm but one of the female staff members was having a full-blown FaceTime conversation on loudspeaker. I know she works there because I come in regularly. I even took a short video of the situation (which I won’t upload for privacy), just to show how loud and disruptive it was. It would be much more considerate if staff used the designated staff room or headphones for personal calls so customers can enjoy their meals without unnecessary noise.

Ordered 10 hot wings which were great tasting, crispy and hot but my gosh were they small! Come like the size of chicken nuggets.
Staff not very friendly or welcoming guessing due to them nearly closing and rushing peeps out of the shop.
Overall one of the better KFCs foodwise I have experienced

Visited the Farringdon KFC branch on Aug Mon 18th lunch to get some gravy for my greggs sausage roll as featured on ubereats.
The gravy here is runnier compared to my usual KFC and not as strong.
Anyway after collecting my gravy on the way out I discovered there was a downstairs so when down to have a look as I have not been to this branch before.
On the way back up while I was on the stairs I was greeted by a lady member of KFC who said I could not eat my pizza here which hopefully can be checked on cctv.
The box was not even open nor was my hand physically holding a slice of pizza or was I was physically eating.
I felt like I was accused for something I didn't do.
You simply can't accuse someone for an action that has not happened or taken place yet.
Definitely not what I was expecting for a KFC branch in the city of London especially in a civilised office area.
A big Thanks to that definitely avoiding this shop out of all the other eateries in Farringdon.

I had a great experience The food was fresh, hot, and served quickly exactly what you want when you’re grabbing something on the go. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the place was clean and well organized despite being quite busy. I especially liked that the branch is halal certified, which makes it a great option for everyone. The chicken was crispy and perfectly cooked, and the fries were fresh and tasty. Overall, an excellent visit convenient location, great service, and delicious food.

I often visit this KFC because I work nearby. The food is always delicious, and I really appreciate how clean everything is. The staff is friendly, well-trained, and always happy to help. It’s a great place to enjoy a meal after a busy day.

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.

Grilled chicken marinated with South American inspiration

Assenheims bar and grill

Large portions, so quite good value for money.

Unfortunately, I found the food quite bland. The green sauce is their signature, but I am one of those people who loathe coriander so the sauce was not good for me.

Not only was the food bland, it was basically cold. The potatoes were barely warm when served, the veg and chicken not even that.

The food came out very quickly and is clearly reheated rather than cooked fresh. I can live with that, but please take a few extra minutes to serve and reheat the food properly.

I come to Assenheims 56 every visit to London. The chicken is incredibly flavorful and the green sauce is unlike any other.

Unfortunately, they got rid of their old veggies and swapped them out with grilled fajita veggies (mostly just cabbage). This led me to my 4-star! The salad is OK, so I opt for this with potatoes. Even then, the chicken is still worth a visit.

It can get busy and the servers aren’t as friendly as I’m accustomed to, but otherwise, I always enjoy my visit.

Discovered this great restaurant when I was near St Paul's. They have a few locations around the city.

Absolutely delicious  food and value for money.

I had the beef patacones which is essentially tender pulled beef sandwiched between two massive crispy plantain "flat breads" but is gluten free.

While I didn't have room for dessert, they do offer dessert along with 2 vegan sweet options.  Lots of savory vegan options as well.

Staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive.

Depends what you want. The portions are enormous it’s and value is great. The actual quality of the food is sub par. The chicken is ok but even though marinated, there isn’t a particularly special taste to it. The green sauce has no discernible flavour at all. So you need chilli to give it a kick. The rice is plentiful but looks more tasty than it actually tastes. The grilled vegetables weren’t grilled at all, they were boiled and over done, far too soft. So the meal was very bland but there was a lot of it so I left feeling full for little over a tenner.

Amazing chicken place with generous portions. On a good day one chicken box can serve lunch and dinner for me!

The chicken is very tender and juicy. It is also seasoned properly, with a mixture of spices, leaving a wonderful aftertaste.

Remember to ask for extra green sauce! It is a perfect match with the chicken. You'll never forget the taste once you've had it. For people who like spiciness, the chili sauce goes really well with the green sauce.

The sides are less impressive. Vegetables and rice are a bit undercooked to my taste, without much seasoning either. But hey, what more can you ask for after such delicious chicken.

Overall very good value for money. The waiters are helpful and friendly.

Chicken is Halal and HFA certified. Pork is served but prepared and handled separately to prevent cross-contamination.

PizzaExpress

Well.. better than we thought! It's a place I've told the family about and wanting to bring them.. and it finally happened today.

I can't say we had a lot of great eats in London this trip, but this is one of the most competent so far. But I got to express a bit of disappointment in the service. There was no queue at the restaurant, we were seated immediately, but we could see how takeaways were prioritized as the wait after ordering was far from brief.

With that said, the pizzas 🍕 were good, I don't know which ones they were (family made the call), but we all enjoyed it.

Came in on a weekday for a lunch whilst travelling for work. Seated immediately, order came quickly and paid via the app. In and out
in 45 mins. Pizza Express is usually reliable like this and this branch is no exception! Thanks, will be back 🍕🍕🍕

We visited without a booking on a Sunday evening. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We will be back! Keep up the good work!

We did the pizza making party and James was an amazing host!
From being the MC, hosting the pizza making demo,
love the energy.
He even offered the takeaway boxes even before we asked, 100% nice service.

Nice place for lunch / dinner. Also good vegetarian options - not only pizzas but also pastas and salad. If you are going in big group then expect to spend more time due to food preparation time and how busy they are.

PizzaExpress has used halal-slaughtered chicken for several years, but we have never been able to offer a finished dish that was Halal-certified, due to the presence of pork and other non-halal meats in our restaurants and as our kitchens do not operate halal procedures.

Whilst our previous suppliers provided halal slaughtered chicken, it was never our policy for that to be our only option. Since the launch of our Autumn Menu on the 21st September our chicken now comes from accredited suppliers that use both non-halal and halal slaughter methods, because we have recently increased our sourcing options on chicken to ensure continuity of supply during the current challenges within all supply chains.

Where halal slaughter is used, the animals are stunned before slaughter. All our meat suppliers are approved by the Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards, a globally renowned safety standard and, all comply with EU or local animal welfare regulations.

If asked our teams in restaurants are trained to provide customers with accurate menu and ingredient information. In addition, this information is available on the customer support section of our website.

Please be aware that none of our other meats are halal and we do not have any halal kitchens or restaurants.

Seoul90 Korean Restaurant

STOP for a second and read this folks let papa tell you a tale of two best friends in search of a meal fit for a man turning 35 (but doesn’t look a day over 21!). I had come here on a recommendation with my BF (best friend) who was singing its praises and we both had the day off so decided to go for a spot of lunch.

TANGENNNNNT: don’t make the same mistake as us and drive here we paid congestion charge AND a hefty £14 for an hour of parking on a Wednesday which was a punch to the gut which we weren’t quite expecting on an empty stomach. We hobbled in (I was on crutches) and were greeted with a smile so warm it could have boiled a small cup of tea. We were under time pressure because of the god forsaken parking but service was prompt. They had the lunch menu which looked like a good deal but we went for the main menu - no expense spared for my best boy!

We got a glass noodles and rice to share and my bf got the KFC and I got the other chicken with the veg (forgot the name but check the pic). My mouth was watering and after a short wait, food was served! That first bite was liquid euphoria I haven’t experienced flavour like that since the great summer of ‘98. Each bite just got better it was so consistent. I had a bite of the KFC too that slapped harder than my Arabic teacher when I forgot my lines. The portions were perfect to satisfy 2 guys in their prime with healthy appetites. We both got the bong bong grape juice which compliments the chicken so well. If we had more time I would have hung around for a bit and checked out their iced tea. It’s a nice place to hang with people coming for work lunches I imagine, great for small groups and even dates. They have cool LEGO figurines and artwork that pays homage to various comics which was also a nice touch there’s never really a dull moment, with plenty to fix your eye on when looking around. We asked for the bill and I didn’t bother looking at the price but from the menu I vaguely recall prices were reasonable considering what you’re getting, the location, and obviously they have the lunch menu I was talking about.

To top it off, as we were paying, the super nice lady said to my bf “thanks for coming back” which really made his bday. You don’t get personal touches in customer service like that anymore you just don’t! We walked back to the car with 2 mins to spare, what a day!

Intimate setting, friendly and accommodating waiter, somewhere to enjoy lunch/dinner.

At first glance, the food may not look like it’s enough, but you will finish the meal feeling satisfied.

Thoroughly recommend ordering the BopBop drink with grape bits 👌

I agree with the majority of the reviews/comments posted here on Google. The service provided is polite and courteous, and the food tastes good and is presented very well. However, the price is on the high side. One very small bowl of white rice costs £3.50 and this is not even a restaurant, more a cafe and very basic.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
I wish the portions were slightly bigger but it was very full of flavor and we did not leave hungry. We had the Korean fried chicken, japchad, and Korean pork. It was about ~$97 USD and that’s quite steep for a non KBBQ meal

Staff were pleasant and attentive to when we needed something. I got the impression the place is family run and Korean throughout, the staff appear to be treated well. The food wasn't on the cheap side but the portion sizes were generous and the food was exactly what you'd hope for, really well done and solid. Decor was also unique. Overall a nice experience and definitely worth a visit if you're heading to The Barbican.

Our beef and chicken is Halal. Alcohol served.

Pizza express' Apollo pesto pasta is one of my fav next to their margherita pizza! If you haven't tried the pasta, you should! Generally pizza express is great and with all the offers that are available it's value for money. This particular branch is great for weekday lunch and if you're on O2 network then you can get £5 main with the priority app... You can't go wrong.

As you would expect from pizza express, great food and service!

OMG......The FOOD was beyond amazing, very tasty. i am a fan. The waiters and waitress were very attentive and friendly throughout our dining experience. I was greeted on arrival from a beautiful young lady who i believe was the manager, extremely welcoming and engaging. She had a smile that lite up the room and she helped with our orders as soon as we sat ( i believe the waiter we had was busy at the time) so grateful. i could also be a little needy, needy at times, but i felt whenever anything was needed from me or the guest there were waiters or waitress to take care of it. There was one thing i LOVED which was the aura and environment they had created, very chilled, happy, fun, loving., professional and comfortable.

And from now on, this is the NO.1 SPOT in London for me and my mates.. What a pleasant experience. :) These people are truly great workers who project great experiences!!!

This pizza express is absolutely rammed on a weekday lunchtime. If you intend to visit between 12-2 Mon-Fri then I would recommend you make a reservation or you will be joining quite a long queue.

As it's so busy you would expect the service to go down but the waiters and waitresses are always really nice if not a little rushed.

The food is always up to usual Pizza Express standard and if you like this chain then you wont be disappointed.

On the day we visited, it was really busy but we were able to get a table without a reservation. We ordered starters AND pizzas so we were surprised when our pizzas arrived just after we had received our starters. I was even more annoyed when the waitress tried to bring the same pizzas to us again a few minutes later whilst we were still eating our starters. She gave us the impression that we should have accepted the pizzas but I asked her to take them away as we were still eating. When the pizzas eventually came, I asked if they were the same pizzas that she tried to bring to us 10 mins ago, she said they were fresh ones - luckily they tasted fresh and did not taste reheated otherwise I would have sent them back. The pizzas were great as usual but the low score reflects the poor service.

FiLLi Cafe Islington

Very small cafe, super delicious 😋 Zaffran tea, I enjoyed the masala fries too. Yes, they are just very plain French fries with a bit of masala spice sprinkled on them, but they taste good! The chicken burger was spicy but very delicious too. It felt a bit too fattening to have every day, but every now and then - why not!
Will definitely return to try other items on the menu. The food arrived very quickly too.

I’m a huge fan of the Filli café brand and always visit when i’m in the middle east. I was so excited in to be able to have Filli in London on my visit here. The café is nice and clean (only a bit small) and staf is super kind. Ordered my favourites; a karak chai and Samosa Chaat and they did not dissapoint!

Karthik is an amazing customer service representative. He has great product knowledge and incredible with his service so much so that i bought the matcha coconut and mango and it bangs. Will be back again for sure to try the food. Also good and cosy working space as well!!

The karak chai was the best I’ve ever had, except from auntie (I have to say that, actually it was better). Perfect spicing. They use condensed milk so it’s nice and sweet. I also had chicken foodles, which was HOT, but tasty. Great staff. Credit to the area.

Excellent service , coffee really good ,masalh chai is a bit sweet but really lovely ,  and the food looks really homemade,fresh and tasty -good value for money!

The Iskelé Restaurant & Bar

I am always thrilled to discover a low key, modestly priced neighbourhood restaurant that serves terrific food.  Great attention to detail.  Everything freshly made, even sauces and salad dressings (though I cannot be sure the bread was made in house).  Our order was not adventurous but represented consistently excellent versions of Turkish classics.

We shared the baba ghanoush as a starter which came with bread for mopping it up.  A really great dip, where the aubergine mash was redolent with charcoal flavour and sesame and just very subtly lemony.  A good size portion for sharing.  Served at a pleasant temperature not straight from the fridge.

For mains I had the lamb cutlets and my companion had the lamb kofte.  I asked to replace the fries that normally come with cutlets with rice, and that was no problem.  Meats were cooked medium and were served with a very fresh, bright, fiery ezme dipping sauce.  Like a chilli-spiked tomato and onion salsa.  My cutlets were good if a little under seasoned for my taste, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a salt shaker.  My companion's kofte were delicious, but some diners (not me) might find them on the salty side. Mince used for the koftes was lean.  My companion has a digestive disorder where fatty burgers, for example, make him nauseous a few hours later.  No problem with the koftes at Eskele.  The smokiness level of the meats was light, unlike the heavy charcoal flavour of the baba ghanoush starter.  Accompanying salad was dressed with olive oil and flavoured with lightly pickled slivers of red cabbage.  A step up from a lot of Turkish restaurants that serve only wedges of lemon with salad.  Rice looked plain but tasted very buttery.

Not being fussy about wine, we normally order the cheapest red at restaurants.  However my companion was distrustful of the house wine, because Turkish reds can be aggressively tannic so we had the Chilean Merlot for £27.90 which lovely, mellow and great value.

The restaurant was quiet despite containing a large group.  No music.  Dim lights but not dim enough to make reading the menu difficult.  Our server was very gracious.

Decent Turkish and Mediterranean food. The starters and mains came in good time. We e were a group of 5 and most enjoyed their meals.

The service was slightly off. We were hurried to order and encouraged to leave quickly after finishing our meals. I appreciate the staff wanted to finish earlier but left disappointed by their attitude.

This was a great find just minutes from Barbican Center. We were warmly greeted by Ali. The décor is very pleasant and the service was wonderful. We ordered 2 glasses of the Turkish red which we really liked. We ordered the baby broad beans as a starter. We had the Iskender plate with lamb and the lamb tagine as our mains. All dishes were delicious. Since we had a performance to get to we couldn't hang out for dessert.  Excellent Turkish food and highly recommended.

Lovely restaurant! The food was really yummy, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. I'm veggie and had a meze selection, the falafel and borek especially were very nice (probably the best borek I've had!). Others I was with had the chicken skewer and lamb cutlets, both enjoyed very much, and the desserts (Knafeh, tiramisu) and cocktails too. Special thank you to the staff for helping with my allergy related queries in a helpful and knowledgeable manner.

Will definitely look to visit again next time we're in the area!

Info - we were a table of three, we booked for 4:30 on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet when we first arrived, but started to fill up by the time we left an hour or two later, though wasn't completely full. Definitely worth trying for a walk in but if you want to go in the evening on a Sat I would recommend booking. It was very conveniently located for the barbican. The toilets were clean and well stocked!

We had a beautiful meal here and booked it through The Fork where we managed to get a generous discount. Staff were attentive and pleasant especially the lovely lady who made sure we had everything we needed.

The serving sizes aren't as big as we're used to at other Mediterranean restaurants, but found that it was enough to satisfy the whole family, but don't expect huge portions here. They however do not disappoint in taste so everyone's still very happy and looking forward to our next visit.

The staff of this restaurant has verbally confirmed Halal status.

Korean BBQ House- Barbican

Finally, a fully halal Korean BBQ spot!

There are plenty of places in London that claim to be halal but still serve pork, so finding this place was a relief.

We had a great time here and left completely full and satisfied. The meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. We even tried the dessert, which was absolutely delicious!

The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, they allowed me to pray in their downstairs seating area since it wasn’t open yet and provided a prayer mat to do so. May God bless them for that!

We booked in advance (which I definitely recommend, as it gets quite busy), and overall, it was a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be coming back with friends!

Excellent restaurant!
Amazing food! Great and friendly staff! Gorgeous decoration!
Really really loved it!
Everything is so delicious ( and Halal )
I strongly recommend

Craving for halal BBQ and found this place.
Order this unlimited meat menu.
Meat was very well marinated and super tender with sauce. 😋
It was served with dumplings, fired shrimp and some kimchi. Their miso soup was very delicious.

I will give it 10/10.
Definitely going there again if I am in town.

lovely, simple but classy!! went there for a birthday  (mine hehe) and it’s so much fun. it’s a Korean bbq so you cook the food yourself which is quite fun and engaging great way for bonding and chatting while cooking! i had a wonderful time

5 of us popped in on a Sunday afternoon.
We were greeted warmly and shown to our booth by a very friendly and professional young man.
He took our drinks orders
2 of us had woongjing, 2 had aloe vera and 1 had orange fantastic. I had never tried Woongjing before and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. My wife loved the aloe Vera.
We went straight to the mains, with 2x Korean Fried Chicken, 2x Chicken terryaki and 1x eel bibimap
My wife warned me she wouldn't be able to finish the chicken teriyaki (but she did) i thought I would be able to demolish the Korean fried chicken (i didnt) and we all said how nice the food was. The waiter offered us a takeaway box for the remaining fried chicken which we accepted)
Dessert wise we ordered 2xbingsu after the waiter warned us how big the desserts are and he was correct.
And what a wonderful dessert it was. Fresh, cold and cleansed the palate.  I think we were worried they would have to roll us out of the restaurant.
The other diners seemed to be local residents with a few Koreans, which we took to be a good sign.
The service was excellent and the decor was a nice blend of industrial design and what I think a Korean restaurant should be.
The toal cost including service was £133 which seemed a very reasonable price for a two course meal for 5 including drinks.
We all said we would return.
So my overall score is a 10/10 for a great restaurant.  Just don't eat for a few days beforehand.
And a huge thank you to all the staff working on 31st August and for taking great care of us.

Korean BBQ and Vegan

I visited this establishment earlier this week for a reunion meal. It's really simple to book online and wasn't a problem that we had tastecards. You can get 2 for 1 on all starters, mains and desserts which is fantastic (Sunday to Thursday only). The atmosphere was fairly dead as it was a weekday which was perfect as it can get really busy so shouting becomes a must. Despite that the service was extremely slow and unattentive; our mains came before our starter plates had been removed despite being in situ for around 10minutes. The food is standard pizza express quality so pretty decent. There are toilets and easy access for those with disabilities. All in all a decent place to visit but do invest in a tastecard; we saved £51 on our bill by having 2.

Went for a 'pizza making' session where we all got to make our own pizza from the grounds up (except for the dough which was handed over to us). It was quite satisfying to be taught by the head 'pizzaiolo' to make a perfect pizza. Mine turned out to be good (see pic). Happy with the effort but struggled to finish my own-made pizza as the crust was a little too dry for my liking. Topped it off with an Eton Mess Sundae.

One of our colleagues had her phone snatched by a thief on a cycle just outside the Pizza Express. She obviously was gutted. Nothing wrong with the establishment but the alley is too quiet even on a weekday so keep your possessions safe!

Worst pizza express I've been to for a long time. Rude waiter. Also had to send back a tiny salad 'Special' to get my usual order instead (so that I felt fed!), it came excessively drenched in olive oil. Had this dish many times before and enjoyed it, this was well below usual standard.

Tucked away just off Cheapside this is another great restaurant in the Pizza Express family. Service fast and efficient and always with a smile even at busy times. Pizza and wine always delicious, skipped dessert this time as yummy couldn't take any more food

Friendly staff, food the usual pizza express standard. I decided to ring in advance to see if they were busy during lunch time . I was greeted by a friendly person who advised me it should be ok and took my name down. I arrived and the service was very good and staff attentive.

Tossed Coleman Street (Guildhall)

I had a great experience at Tossed ! The salads are fresh, flavorful, and made with a wide variety of ingredients. On top of the delicious food, I’d like to highlight the excellent service from Artur, who was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout my visit. He truly made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

I recently visited your shop and wanted to share some feedback about my experience. Overall, I appreciated the healthy options on the menu and the fresh ingredients The team worked quickly without making me feel rushed, and they were happy to answer my questions about the menu. On top of that, the shop was clean and well-organized, which added to the positive atmosphere.

I’ve been coming to Tossed on Coleman Street every day, and I absolutely love it here! Their salads are my go-to choice for a delicious and healthy meal. The Buffalo Chicken Salad is hands down my favorite—I’m basically in love with it! The Parmesan Chicken Salad is also incredible and highly recommended. The team here is super fast, everything is always fresh and clean, and the service is top-notch. If you’re looking for a spot that consistently delivers on quality, Toast is the place to be!

I am Selva and get my daily lunch here at Tossed Colman Street.  Highly recommended.  Amazing and friendly service from the staff mainly Mr Celes, Mr Alexander and Mr Jeorge, best service ever and also other staff too.

The food is so much fresh, and made on order.  Definitely one of the best healthy take away across London.

Awesome healthy food. The best ordering experience.  Highly customizable, super fast, reliable, no human interaction to get your order wrong, love it!

I don’t understand why others gave one or two stars to this wonderful place and such a superb healthy food.

Great service at Tossed! The staff are really friendly, always smiling, and make you feel welcome. Everything was quick, pleasant, and professional. Definitely a place I’d recommend!

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