The Sushi Co - Holborn

Amazing fresh sushi and noodle dishes, seaweed salad very fresh and tasty, staff very helpful and polite. Nice and cozy dining place downstairs with lovely wallpapers. Nice little neighbourhood gem, great relaxing music in the background! Highly recommended!

This was my first time visiting, and I had a great experience from start to finish. Hamza, Depu, provided excellent and friendly service, and Rubel, the chef, did an amazing job with the food.
I tried the chicken sandwich, salmon nigiri, and black pepper chicken with rice, and everything was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
The dining atmosphere was warm, clean, and very comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.

The ambiance added to the overall experience and made the visit even more enjoyable.
Highly recommended! I will definitely be coming back.

Really love food! The service were even more top! Our lady Tasuma was super sweet and helpful! We enjoyed our dinner

Amazing sushi and even better service! You won’t know by just looking from the street, but there are seats downstairs and the sushi is the best for the price range that I’ve found in London. Hamza was really great and everyone is kind. On top of that, they offer student discount (25% off when we visited!). And they stay open until very late – I think something like 3 AM!

Absolutely amazing food. Tried the Bao buns, Chicken Sandu & Katsu Curry. Absolutely stellar & of course, TASTY food. Pratiksha and Dipu were excellent staff and friendly as well.

Great place & would recommend anyone to give the place a go!

We are 100% Halal and our soya sauce is free of alcohol.

The Sushi Co

KFC London - Southampton Row

Very quick service. Polite staff and a very clean restaurant. I want to especially mention the staff behind the counter who served me with a smile and asked if I wanted any sauce for my fries. Awesome interaction - this is how hospitality should be :)

Very poor management. Only one girl working in front and back. She is clearly under a lot of pressure doing all the jobs by herself. Will call the council as well about this. I don't recommend coming here as there is a very big cue always. I work across the road and I come here often it's always like this.

Firstly, the area is dirty. We came in because of the double deal at 5.99£
The burger was so salty, i have never found food salty in kfc but this was bad.
The table was dirty. We cleaned it up. The person who got us the burger, we told him it was salty and he ignored us which was not cool at all. Bad service, bad food. Good cold drinks tho. Please definitely check on this.

I had a great experience at KFC recently, and I just had to leave a review to highlight the incredible service I received from Dinithi. It was during a really busy time, and I was honestly surprised to see that she was the only person at the front — not only taking orders at the till but also preparing the food all by herself. Despite the pressure and the long queue of customers, she stayed calm, friendly, and professional throughout.

Dinithi greeted everyone with a smile and made sure each order was prepared correctly and quickly. I could see she was doing the work of multiple people, but she never let it show in a negative way. It’s rare to see that kind of dedication and attitude, especially in such a fast-paced environment. She went above and beyond, and I really appreciated the way she handled everything so smoothly.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at KFC Southampton Road, and a huge part of that was thanks to Dinithi! From the moment I stepped in, her warm and welcoming attitude stood out. She greeted me with a smile, made sure my order was taken correctly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.

Dinithi showed real professionalism and care — qualities that truly elevate the customer experience. She was patient, polite, and attentive, even during what looked like a busy shift. The food was fresh and hot, but it’s the service that made this visit memorable.

It’s rare to see someone take such pride in their work in a fast-paced environment like this. Dinithi is a real asset to the KFC team, and I hope her efforts are recognised — she deserves it!

Highly recommend visiting this branch, and if you’re lucky enough to be served by Dinithi, you’re in for excellent service.

In our KFC Halal restaurants we do not handle any pork ingredients, and all the food and drink items served in these restaurants are approved by the Halal Food Authority. This ensures the very best Halal food standards but does mean that certain menu items and limited time offers may not be available.

Another key consideration for us was that we were able to ensure that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards we employ in the UK, and we consulted leading animal welfare groups about this.

There is no compromise to our welfare standards. We continue to insist that our poultry is stunned before slaughter, using a technique called 'stun-to-stun'. We only buy high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, who are contractually required to meet or exceed all relevant UK and EU legislation and this will not change.

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Holborn

100% local products, everything is homemade with passion and love. Rosemary chips are served in abundance as well as burgers which are the perfect size to make your stomach feel full but not tired. The passion and kindness of the staff, especially the owner, makes this experience recommendable and pleasent. Can't wait to be back in London to be back here for a burger.

We stopped in for an early lunch before a show and had a great experience. I ordered the smashed single, which was excellent—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The rosemary chips deserve a special mention; they’re crispy, herby, and absolutely addictive. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone was super friendly, attentive, and efficient, which made the whole visit relaxed and enjoyable even though we were on a schedule. Honest Burgers is a great choice for a casual meal with top-quality food and service—I’d happily come back again. By the time we left, the place was filling up so plan accordingly!

Delicious! The bacon gravy side is to die for.

Buffalo chicken burger is great and so is the beef double smashed patty.
Onion rings are up there with the nicest I’ve ever tasted and the chips are really authentic and flavoursome.

Service was friendly, reasonably priced for London.

Brooklyn brewery pilsner was a lovely pint on draft too.

Have a great time with colleagues in here. Really good quality of their smashed burgers, I ordered fried chicken burger as usual. Nice services and kind staffs, will visit again.

I visited Honest Burgers with three friends for our first meal in London.
We ordered 4 burgers, 4 drinks, and a large portion of onion rings — the food was great, but when I checked the bill, I was shocked to see a 20% service charge added.

From what I know — and even according to the owner’s responses to other reviews — most Honest Burgers in the UK charge around 10%. Seeing a 20% charge made me feel very uncomfortable, as if we were treated unfairly just because we’re Asian.

During the rest of our stay, we visited places like Dishoom and Bancone, and none of them charged more than 12.5% service.
It’s disappointing that what should have been a pleasant first meal in London turned into such a negative experience.
I’ll definitely warn my friends never to visit this location when they come to London

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.

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.

Lebanese and Palestinian cuisine prepared in an open kitchen in the centre of a modern restaurant

Hiba Express

I came here for the Palestinian support ofc, but it turns out that's not the only perk of the place. The staff is all Palestinian, and so the owner and the food. I had a Kafta Meshwi, which came with 3 lamb skewers, for just £17. I think it's great value for money. And the quality was really good. It's not the typical London restaurant, bringing you food after 2 minutes. Here you have to wait, as they prepare everything from scratch, even the drinks or the sauces. Talking about drinks, I had a nice Jellab, which reminded me a bit of a rose lemonade. Definitely a great place to go if you're in Holborn and hungry. You'll make your stomach feel good, and so your heart.

Ordered catering for a work event - so generously portioned and good value for money. Beautifully presented and very friendly staff. Catered to all dietary preferences and Sayeda was flexible to my requests and last min changes. Would highly recommend!

TLDR - came at 5, ordered food at 5:45/6 food came at 7 with many missing items, missing drinks, warm/cold food. Cancelled a few items as everyone was overwhelmed. Overcharged us with a few drinks but also over made a wrap 3 times so just gave to us. Don’t go as a big group and on a Saturday.

Wanted to go here to support a Palestine restaurant so went as a group on 9 on a Saturday. We understand that it is busy and a group of 9 is pretty big so we were very understanding but I’m sorry we had a terrible experience.

We came around 5 (we booked in for 5) and got sat downstairs as we were a bigger group and it was almost like they forgot about us. We sat for almost an hour until we were able to order anything. No one came to check on us and we had to keep going upstairs to get their attention.

Finally near to 6 we got to order. Ordered the food and drinks. I had 2 friends that came later on and ordered upstairs, their food platter came before everyone else did. It took an hour to finally get everyone’s food but still there were missing items and missing drinks. Most of the food was warm/cold by the time it got to us. Some food we even ended up cancelling because we were already there for almost 3 hours we were just getting overstimulated. We were all so hungry so we just ate, we were also told someone would come down with the bill but no one did.

They did end up giving us randomly 2 chicken wraps because I think there was no communication between anyone. (They didn’t charge us for this).

We then just decided after 20 mins to go upstairs to pay. They tried to charge us for extra drinks we didn’t order as two of us ordered the platter for 2 and it came with drinks but they added it as a separate item.

I also don’t want to make it about anything but the service but there was a small family of 5 who got sat down and left within an hour and a half while we were still waiting for our food. There was also a bigger group of people who got sat down and within 10 minutes got theirs order taken and within 20/30 minute majority of their food came out. There was a clear distinction between them and us with languages…. Take that as you will.

I’m sorry but I really wanted to enjoy my experience here but it just ended up being an overstimulating, cold and stressful evening. It was meant to be for my birthday but I’m just extremely upset. Like I mentioned we all tried to be understanding, the food would have been good if it was hot or warm but it was warm closer to cold. They meat was kind of dry, the chips and rice was unseasoned. Hummus was amazing, salad was great and fresh but overall experience 2/5 sorry.

I came here for dinner, I had excellent Palestinian/Lebanese food, good and cheap! A special mention for the dessert, the knafeh! Delicious, I could have eaten 10 more! The staff is super welcoming and ready to exchange a few cheerful and welcoming words! Highly recommended!

Amazing food! Portions are generous and everything tastes so delicious! I had a mix plate of cold and hot mezze…. The lamb was incredible! The service is friendly and polite! Very nice and calm atmosphere!

The Delaunay

I had a wonderful time at The Delaunay CAFE, ate an delicous Schnitzel, drank a very good beer and enjoyed a good real hot chocolate! The staff was all extremely friendly and I felt transported back on time, in the 20's!!!! Absolutely loved it and will be back!

Note: I'm not talking about the main restaurant (where I've felt treated arrogantly) I mean in the other side from the other entrance from the side... Absolutely wonderful experience! Thank you to all the staff! 😊

A true classic and a wonderfully charming spot - perfect for a relaxed lunch or a special-occasion dinner. The space is full of character and feels timeless without being stuffy. Excellent value for money, especially for the quality and atmosphere. The Swiss soufflé was a standout and worth the visit alone. Attentive, warm service throughout. Will definitely be back.

After speaking with a rather unfriendly lady at reception, we decided to leave: the place looked crowded, stressed out, and almost if I had to beg for a table.
When leaving we found they had a separate cafe on the side, with a reduced menu focused on cafes and sandwiches and a more intimate and cosy environment - staff were also incredibly friendly.
We ended up having a wonderful pork Schnitzel and a divine Sache torte with hot chocolate. Was surprised by their continental beer too.
I'd definitely come back! but to the cafe, not the main restaurant.

The food was very good buy not excellent our outstanding, for sure plates comes not in what you expect them to be from such a restaurant, looking at the steak plate it came without any garnish at all, it was just a steak piece in an empty plate. service was average and noise level is high. You may spend the same amount of money in a much better restaurant

I loved dining here, the food was great and tasty. The service was good. Good spot to go out and watch a show! The chicken was tasty, i would give it a 4/5 because it was slightly dry. That could be resolved with the sauce.

The only halal item on our menu is the chicken schnitzel but we are currently working on providing more halal dishes in the near future.

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.

Assenheims 56

Eat Tokyo

Eat Tokyo, this branch in particular, has been a favourite for years and would usually be a 5* for me. The food is always delicious, the portions on the larger side and the prices reasonable. The fish and sushi especially have never failed to be great.

However, my guest and I were both rather disappointed by the service on our last visit (4th of November). We arrived before restaurant opened and queued so we were some of the first people to get in at opening.

I understand the place gets busy but we felt rushed: our waitress asked us not once or twice but thrice if we were ready to order, whilst we were still very clearly reading the menus on the table. There’s so many options it takes a while and it was getting annoying to be pestered.

The dishes all came quickly and I cannot fault the food (though a few options were not stocked that day) but we felt watched like a hawk!

Barely had time to finish eating and decline desserts and we were promptly presented with the bill.

As it happens, this was a birthday meal for me which has been a little tradition for a while and I’ve never felt rushed like this before. For context, I ordered 5 dishes of different sizes plus a drink and my friend also got several starters plus a main meal and drink so it’s not as though we were were hogging the table with barely any food.

As we left, we expected to see a large line outside that might explain why we were being so rushed, but there was no one!

Overall, we enjoyed the food but the service certainly dampened our experience.

Overall, it was a rather disappointing experience. The restaurant itself has an unusual layout, spread across several very small floors. The uppermost and largest floor, which lacks windows, felt somewhat enclosed and overcrowded.

The menu was quite confusing perhaps typical of authentic Japanese establishments, but it made choosing dishes more difficult than expected. The food was acceptable, though not exceptional; I’ve had more enjoyable Japanese meals at smaller, non-London venues.

Service was also underwhelming. While staff were not overtly rude, they were somewhat abrupt. One of our main dishes arrived nearly an hour after the rest, and the initial response from staff was unhelpful they declined to cancel the dish despite everyone else having finished eating.

Vegetarian options were notably limited. Moreover, several dishes marked as vegetarian actually contained fish, so those with dietary restrictions should take care.

In summary, it isn’t a terrible restaurant, but it fell short of expectations, and I wouldn’t be eager to return.

Solid choice for authentic Japanese food at good value. The serving sizes are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the menu offers plenty of variety. Service is efficient yet welcoming - you’re well looked after without any fuss. Great spot for a casual, satisfying meal

I had an excellent Chicken Katsu Curry at the Eat Tokyo restaurant (Holborn). The main dish was about £9 and the can of soda a few pounds. The size and quality of the meal was good value for central London prices.

I visited on a Friday at lunchtime, so it was busy and I had to wait only a couple of minutes for a table to become available.

The staff were friendly and once my order was taken, I only had a short wait for the meal to arrive.

I opted for the regular size Chicken Katsu curry (there is also an option for large). The regular sized meal was definitely filling and I was glad I did not order the larger version. The food was tasty, with the chicken nicely crispy coated, the curry a medium spice level and the carrots & potato well cooked.

The menu is quite large, and looking around the restaurant the Bento boxes also appeared to be very popular.

I would recommend this restaurant.

I’ve been here many times and have never been disappointed. The place itself isn’t fancy, but the food more than makes up for it. Every dish I’ve tried has been excellent, and you can really tell the people here care about what they’re doing. This spot truly deserves five stars.

Our chicken is Halal and we do not use alcohol in the preparation of our sushi rice.

I'm working back near Leather Lane this week again after a year away. The famous market is one of my favourite places in London for lunch, there are soo many halal options now, even more so than when I last was here. We are talking street food, restaurants and cafes. Love it here .

Whilst walking up and down the market spending most of my lunch break on what to eat I spotted that @tongue_and_brisket had a halal sign in the window. So I had to finally try a salt beef sandwiche. They also have a beef bagel as well. I sampled the roast beef and salt beef, but opted for the salt beef as its something different .

Price is £5.90 for a small sandwich, nothing really special. Pretty simple. With so many choices around I doubt I'll try again, but at least there's finally a place to try salt beef. I confirmed that the meat in all locations is halal and is purchased from Spitalfields Market

@halalfoodguy's review of Tongue & Brisket Holborn on Instagram

Tongue & Brisket

I was taking my friend around Leather Lane, the area, the lovely and very busy food market, lovely coffee shops...etc.
We settled for Tongue & Brisket.
I knew it before and I was glad to go back.
It is a very busy place, especially for take away.
But the service is friendly and fast. We decided to eat inside, as they had a free table on our visit.
We both had the Reuben  sandwich.
It was fantastic, tasty, soft, and a good portion. We also took some fish balls - lunch deal at £ 15.00 for sandwich, fish  balls, and a soft drink.
It was a perfect lunch.
But you have a lot of choices to buy from, all style of cusines... The main issue is that you have very limited space to sit outside in the area, especially on sunny weather, unless you go back to your office...
Highly recommended...

Solid Reuben Sandwich, 4.3 stars. Non-fuss, very friendly service. Found this on my lunch break, large was enough. Lots of meat and fresh fillings.

I was disappointed with my Reuben because of the star of the show - the beef. There was no moisture left in it and the sauces weren’t enough to make it up to a 4/5. It sounds like I got unlucky - will make another trip in the future!

Tender and tasty salt beef and tongue sandwich. Bread soft. Served quick and hot. Good portion for £7.50 (regular), and the sandwich can be customised to your needs without extra charges (I wanted to try two meats in one sandwich, and you can even have 3, though it isn't recommended cos of the different texture of roast meat). Would revisit.

Been here today a bit early and had a nice talk with the guy working there. I got the first cut of the day and it was really delicious. The cole slaw also was refreshing. Should fit nice with the chicken schnitzel as well. Will come back here!

We've had to change some of our suppliers since COVID19. Our salt beef and tongue is no longer Halal. But all other meats such as roast turkey, roast beef, chicken schnitzel, chopped liver and chicken soup are all still made with Halal meat.

My Old Dutch

Had the stack of 5 Butterscotch pancakes, Pistachio and strawberry/blueberry. Pancakes were soft and cooked well, filled with flavour and very filling. The atmosphere in the shop was also cosy. I would visit again :) staff were also helpful when one of us ordered the crepe instead of the stack of pancakes by accident

Our group of 11 had dinner at My Old Dutch.  They were ready for us, and had us served impressively fast.  There were options for the gluten free, dairy free, and vegan members of our group, which was amazing.  Everything was delicious.  Would definitely return!

Omg I can’t even explain how much this place is amazing! The pancakes were the best I ever had (really). I got one with chocolate chips, maple syrup and chocolate. I’m so sad this is my last day in London and don’t have more time to try other ones, but for sure when I come back to London it will be the first place I’ll go. If you love pancakes, like I do, don’t even think about going to other places, just come here and you will love it, I promise! The waiters were so nice and the restaurante is really cute. I came at 16:00 and it was really quiet

As a Dutchie in London.
I will say the pancakes are really good quality and delicious.
The portions were big.
There is a lot of different options sweat and savory.
I love the interior with the little details as the tulp flowers ect.
The staff was also really service oriented

Absolutely love the ambience and bright well lid rooms. Very casual and laid back setting which is good for small gatherings. The pancakes and food was just average for me , factoring in the prices are on the higher side but loved the vibe

All our grilled chicken is halal and our chicken curry pancake is halal.

You Me Sushi

Really good sushi and a nice place to eat. The fish tastes fresh, the rolls are well made, and the portions feel worth the price. The service is quick and the staff are polite. It’s not the most premium sushi in the city, but for the quality and the experience, it’s definitely a solid choice. Would happily come back again.

The best place for lunch in the area. Great choice of freshly prepared sushi, soups and bowls. Poke is especially nice, very generous portion for a good price. All meals are prepped quickly and nicely. Staff are very friendly, smiley and knowledgeable. There are always some seats available both inside and outside.
Music is a bit of a disappointment as it doesn't reflect the atmosphere of the place :(

My bowl was amazing with the perfect amount of sesame sauce and seeds all over, very fresh and the man who served me was absolutely lovely. Only reason for 4 stars is there are multiple beeping noises within the restaurant, so it’s not the best to eat in

Quick, fast and for the price, quality was definitely there! Good value for money! Everything's halal except the gyoza just because of a potential chance of cross contamination, very good for them to point out! Would recommend for going her for lunch and on the go!

I had a really tasty vegan poke bowl and sprite for £10 at lunch. Friendly staff and nice meal!

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.

Pakistani joint with a build-your-own menu

Zaha Grill

Ordered a custom bowl with rice, chicken, salad and various toppings and sauces. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, guiding me through the order process. Ingredients were good quality and tasty and the meal felt filling. Cost: £11.95. Intending to visit again to treat myself to a healthy lunch!

Cute place with healthy food. Really good for vegans. You assemble your own salad which is always nice.

I cannot say enough good things about this establishment. The food, the service is all top class. Thank you Hiba for my excellent lunches!

😍 Absolutely rude staff 😍 - 싸가지 좟됨 🥰

I took a half-day off today, and on my way home, I stopped by to pick up my favorite salad bowl, which I had ordered online. I got a message saying my order was ready, so I walked into the store—only to find two staff members chatting inside the kitchen, completely ignoring me. Was saying hello really that hard?

One of them barely acknowledged me with a glance, as if to say, Oh, you’re here?—but didn’t bother asking me anything. So I told them I was here to pick up my order. No response. Instead, she just jutted her chin in a vague direction, basically telling me to check over there. I mean… does she not know how to speak?

I simply asked if I could just take my order. She finally opened her mouth and went, Yeah?—with a tone that said, Why are you even asking? Oh. My. God. That was the first time I actually heard her voice 🤩

Truly an amazing experience

A bit of a queue but well worth it for excellent food and ingredients you would be unlikely to think of making at home. The servers are friendly and helpful. Lots of repeat customers. Both excellent vegan, vegetarian and full on meaty options. Nice range of soft drinks.

Chilango

Tasty, quick, convenient and a nice enough setting. Docking a star because my sweet potato criss cross fries were cold, but the burrito was mighty fine and filling. Feedback from my dining partner was that the ‘hot box’ left much to be desired and was a tad skimpy on the contents.

Really tasty Mexican food. I absolutely love their hotbox. But if you planning to get lunch from there, plan accordingly as it might be crowded.

Always great food and quick service. The speed at which the queue move is a great way to show efficiency. Top class

They have beer! Modelo, Corona, Pacifico. Essential to battle those hot sauces

Best Burritos in London. Fast, efficient and packed full of flavour. The staff are helpful and friendly and even when it's rammed at rush hour, the queue moves like a slick conveyor belt.

The seasoning they use on the chicken is amazing. I ate here every day while I was working on Fleet Street.

Thanks guys - keep up the good work!

Tohbang

If you want to feel a truly Korean atmosphere in London, this restaurant is perfect! I strongly recommend this restaurant as Korean. The restaurant has such an authentic vibe, and the food tastes just like real Korean dishes. I especially recommend trying the plumade! In Korea, it’s even known as a digestive drink, and here it pairs perfectly with the meal, refreshing, sweet, and tangy. In addition, the owner and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience not just the taste, but also the warmth and spirit of Korea

Very good and cosy Korean restaurant. We ordered a bunch of of starters and everything was delicious:
-korean fried chicken: extremely crispy and tasty (preferred the spicy one over the soy one)
-kimchi pancake: top notch, decent portion
-toppoki (rice cake) were very spicy, only for the brave
Finally mains were tasty too. Prices very reasonable. Booked in advance for a large group.

This is my third time at this restaurant and I strongly recommend. The food quality is top, the people are very friendly and help whenever needed. The space is cozy and welcoming.

Tohbang is a decent Korean restaurant with a calm and relaxed vibe. The staff were friendly and polite, which made the experience pleasant. I tried the Squid Game box for £16.90—fun idea, but the portion felt quite small for the price. The food overall was okay, though it lacked the bold flavors I usually expect from Korean cuisine. One downside was the ventilator blowing directly at our table, which made it a bit uncomfortable while eating. Still, a decent spot if you're nearby.

Enjoyed the incredible meal for a friend's birthday. We had the BBQ special... And it was more than enough for 4 with left overs. Staff were super kind and accommodating. Takes through the menu and how to eat certain dishes.

Modern dining room and veranda for progressive Indian cuisine that embraces tradition and diversity.

Salaam Namaste

Indian food. We came by for dinner cos we were staying nearby visiting London. The food is pretty good and service was commendable, though we came a bit early so we're not sure if the single attendant would be overwhelmed with a larger crowd. Authentic but also somewhat a summary of all Indian food, with a combination of North and South dishes - at least to a Southeast Asian's experience with Indian food, this was pretty good for the price.

We like the Sag Paneer.

I planned my team Xmas dinner, with a hope to have a good time with everyone.

There are no staff to take order or serve the food. Drinks order at the beginning did not arrived till starters are finished, then eventually we have to cancel the drink order.

More then 40/45 mins take for main course and meanwhile some of the team member left without food.

Very poor service and experience in middle of central London.

My Christmas Day dining at Salaam Namaste didn’t quite live up to expectations, particularly in light of other positive reviews. Here are some areas where it fell short:

•	The starters included some gristle, which was a bit off-putting. We chose not to try a replacement.
•	The portions were a bit smaller than anticipated for two people, and there was a slight mix-up with the rice, but it wasn’t a major issue.
•	The Christmas pudding and coconut ice cream (which tasted similar to vanilla) were not as impressive as hoped.
•	There were minor service delays, like waiting for plates and spoons for our pudding, but these were resolved fairly quickly.

The staff were quite friendly, though the standard 12% service charge seemed a tad high given the overall experience. The non-acceptance of American Express was a minor inconvenience, considering the location.

The experience didn’t quite match the enthusiastic reviews I’d read, leaving a bit of a gap between expectation and reality. While not awful, the meal and overall experience, especially considering the £155 cost, didn’t quite capture the festive spirit I had anticipated. It was an alright experience, but not as memorable as I had hoped for a Christmas celebration.

The food was nice, but as an Indian I would say it could have been better, specially with the main course.

I visited with one of my Dutch colleague, who was trying the Indian cuisine for the first time. The starters, Chicken Tikka and Sheekh Kebeb were really nice. But the main course we ordered, although I won’t say it was bad, but it did not meet the expectations for sure. The butter chicken was more like a dessert, being too sweet, although the name says “Motimahal Butter Chicken”, to be honest it was no where close to Motimahal (the restaurant which originally created the dish). Second main course was “Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani”, and I specifically asked the waiter if it is really a “Dum Biryani” as you are stating it is a Hyderabadi Biryani, and he had no clue what a Dum Biryani is.

In short, the names of the dishes on menu, does give some high expectations, but doesn’t match up to it.

Really tasty Indian! Very flavorsome indeed. Will be going back!
