East London Mosque

Modern restaurant & bar serving Mediterranean cuisine all day

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

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

@halalfoodguy's review of Amber Whitechapel on Instagram

Amber Restaurant

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everything on our menu is vegan or halal.

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

DF Tacos - Shoreditch

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Classy dining experience serving an American menu

Le Madison Steakhouse

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

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

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

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

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

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

The drinks were peculiar in a bad way.

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

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

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

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

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

Not worth visiting.

With lamb shank the veggies are a gimmick. Frozen veggies

Good customer service - kitchen needs sorting

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

Authentic, traditional street food of India

Indi-go Rasoi Spitalfields

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

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

Service was also friendly and people were very helpful.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Indi-Go Rasoi

An exciting new spot has opened up in
Whitechapel serving Chinese food! I was impressed by
@smokinwok food and service! Fresh food bursting
with flavours and you can even customise it with naga.
They even serve fish and chips, fish cakes and
battered sausages.
We ordered the following:
*Dynamite prawns
*Dynamite chicken wings
*Dynamite chicken balls
*Salt and pepper wings
*Smokin wok chow mein
*Smokin wok fried rice
*Beef noodles
*Singapore fried rice
*Fish and chips
The Dynamite selection was lovely! Our favourite will
have to be the prawns! Crispy tempura battered
shrimp covered in a creamy spicy mayo sauce. with
sriracha. They are different to the PF Chang's one but
very unique and regardless tasted really good! This
goes same for the dynamite chicken.
The smokinwok special chow mein was one of our
favourites! It was noodles that was tossed with prawns,
chicken and beef! We chose quarter naga which was
spicy enough for us! A great noodle dish with
authentic Chinese flavours.
The smokin wok special rice was also great and very
filling. We went with quarter naga which elevated the
heat however not too spicy to override the flavours.
Overall, a great Halal Chinese concept that will
definitely see me back!

@halalmemoirs's review of Smokin Wok Whitechapel on Instagram

Smokin Wok

Brought beef fried rice which could do with a bit more flavour. Portion sizes are fine for the amount they charge. Exceptional customer service, which makes a massive difference to the overall experience. Their meat and poultry are halal although certificates aren't available due to bureaucracy around Halal meat and poultry.  Would visit this place again to get a more comprehensive experience.

Ordered large chicken chow mein and curry chips.   I must say the chicken chow mein was really good and the portion size was huge you can easily feed 3 people. Overall the quality of the food was really nice and the price is cheap. Finally found another  establishment for halal Chinese food

Traditional Chinese takeaway favourites with a modern twist - less oily and more flavour, thoroughly enjoyed the food.  The only minor issue I had was that the bottom half of the sweet and sour tofu was juicy and crispy but the top half was a bit dry.  Will definitely order again.

Food was really nice, Really good value for money. Fed family of 5 for £30 and still had left overs. Ordered sweet & sour chicken, large chow mein, large beef fried rice, sausage in batter, chips. Large portions were adequate for 2 adults.

Picked up a couple of chow meins on the way home tonight, flavour was on point and the boxes it was served in was cute. Nice portions, super prices, I will be back for more👍👍👍

The Hungry Cow - Whitechapel E1

Heard alot of hype from this place so thought I'd try it out. Customer service isn't so great. Staff aren't very welcoming and it felt quite awkward.

The food is overpriced and not even value for money. One of the burgers we had the lettuce was gone off. Absolutely disgusting how they included that knowing its gone off. We opted in for cheese in our wrap. The wrap was loaded with cheese which made the wrap sickening, there was more cheese than chicken.

Don't recommend this place and don't see myself returning here. Food quality needs to improve especially with the prices their selling at.

I came here a few days ago as I heard a few people talking about it. Located on a side street off commercial road, it’s not something you’de see driving passed it from the main road. But I have to say, it’s worth the stop and walk down to it (not far at all from the main road).

The food was amazing, customer service was on point and place looked clean and tidy. I ordered the buttermilk chicken burger, which was so full of flavour! I tried other burgers from my mates that went with me, and I have to say that it was all good! I’d definitely visit again sometime soon!

I travel 22 miles to eat here. Best burger joint ever. Actually might even pop down tonight. Thats how good they r. And what makes it even better is that they guys that run it r super friendly and nice

Had this food yesterday, smash burger was ok nothing special, the double cheeseburger always on point tastes like the McDonald burger, standard fries, butter chicken wrap was good. This place only takes cash only.

Just bought a cheese burger & chips from here, literally one of the best  cheese burgers I have ever had, & the sauce?… the sauce?.. the burger sauce, is just insane.it is absolutely AMAZING! I’ve never tasted anything so tantalising in my tongue, it’s the perfect blend of seasoning! I love it & the customer  service was ace. 10 stars overall.

Mr. White’s English Chophouse London Whitechapel

We are very pleased by this restaurant.
The service is great, waitressess are really doing great job, nice and friendly. Georgina was very helpful. We are recommending the place and it's food, we were more than delighted. Nice atmosphere, discrete music, AC, very clean and tidy.

Excellent French Onion soup and all the deserts are great. We will come back. 5 stars ☺️☺️☺️🙏

Great location, plenty or nearby parking available. Ambiance is very relaxing and calm. Service was good and have come here a few times. First time trying french onion soup and must say, it was punchy with the flavours used, yet getting sweetness from the onions. Wild mushrooms on the steak was a nice touch and gives a deeper taste to the steak. The is the epitome of halal steak and value. Would recommend anyone.

This is a nice warm environment to eat in , the staff waitresses and waiters are all very pleasant and helpful.

Now I'm sure everyone has been struggling to find a decent steak place especially for those who eat halal but I have to say this place does steak really well and use good cuts of meat so you know you are not eating somewhere cheap.

This place does not have a expansive varied menu but what it does do it does very well namely the steaks.

I recommend getting the signature steak fillets or the butcher's cut which for me was slightly better.

The only downside I have to say is ;
1) the moktails are not that great
2) the steaks aren't cooked exactly how you want them for example when ordering a medium I'd get a medium rare, or if I asked well done I'd get a medium. That being said they are happy to take it back to the kitchen for the extra bit of cooking.

At the moment this place for steaks will rank in my top 3 places to eat because it's so rare to find a GOOD steak place.

Due to the minor issues and small menu is say this restaurant is a 3.8-4/5 stars

A local gem in the heart of Whitechapel. Great food, (offers halal meat, which is fantastic). Various Mocktails available which is always a bonus if you want to go alcohol free. Or you can always come for snacks, dessert and a hot beverage (mocha is my absolute fave and they make it well here). Love the chilled out relaxed atmosphere any time of the day. Some nights they also have free live music, which is a lovely touch. Lucky to have this as my local restaurant/bar/lounge and would definitely recommend you to try if you haven't already!

Lovely food. Good staff and lovely cocktails. We stayed at the hotel above and attended here for dinner.

For starters we both had calamari which was lovely.

Then we had the signature steak and chips which was also brilliant. Desert was a chocolate hot brownie, I couldn't finish it, it was so rich. But nonetheless I'd defo return 9/10

All our meat is Halal. Please let a member of staff know when booking or visiting.

Band of Burgers, Brick Lane

The food is absolutely delicious and the service is wonderful. We’ve only been in London a few days and have eaten at the brick lane establishment twice. The burgers are amazing, the pizza is delicious, and the sushi is fantastic! It’s a great halal restaurant that serves all. The service is quick and always comes with a smile. The absolute BEST restaurant!!

Band of Burgers on Brick Lane is by far my favorite gourmet burger in London! It serves a wide variety of food which ranges from  burgers, pizza, sushi that are all delicious and original. The customer service was great. Great atmosphere with great music.. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really want this to be thee ultimate burger place for me as I've heard very good things about BOB, however after ordering the "Wagyu this way" burger I wasn't super impressed, even though the juiciness was there, it lacked flavour and that was disappointing, my husband had the Elvis burger which he said was average and a little salt on the patty wouldn't go amiss. The meal Portions are a very good size though. Kids loved the chicken nuggets (not your average frozen nuggets) and sweet treats! That was a nice touch. I think I will give this place another try as I believe they have potential, we ordered online for delivery but would like the experience of dining in. Hopefully I'll update this review once we've tried it again.

I loved the food here. It was absolutely one of the nicest burgers I have had. The fries were amazing for fresh cut fries. The services can be a little slow but definitely worth it.

Went in for the Sushi bar which i did not know was not part of BOB, as kids were hungry I just ordered in at BOB. The food was very fresh and the portions were big. Went in after  lunchtime on a Sunday and it was not that busy.

Maui Poke | Spitalfields

I got the lunch from mealpal. They offer brown rice and it was quite heathy in general. Portion was ok. Tasty salmon and mango rice.

Fresh and tasty Poke. Only gave 4 starts as portion size was a tad smaller than Island Poke

Good choice for a take away lunch! Healthy and tasty. You can make your own bowl.

I have ordered from this place a few times now - enough to have a decent opinion about it - and to be honest, I would not recommend it.
The food is decent but the portions are tiny especially for the price you pay. I just received my usual "build your own bowl" order today and it was literally half the normal portion.
One of the main problems we have with this shop is they always manage to get our orders wrong. A few of times, our order was delayed but the worst time was when our order was two hours late and 4 orders out of the 6 were totally wrong.
Given that they always seem to be understaffed during lunchtime, I find this shop to be more of hassle than anything else.

Food is so fresh and delicious, there is nothing like it nearby. Very reasonably priced! The service is fast so you can get on with your lunch break. Wasabi Mayo to dress your Poke is amazing! Well worth the 20 minute walk from the office. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves sushi

The beef gyudon we have in stock at our red lion branch is not halal. But the chicken in all our stores is Halal.

Award-winning Indian restaurant since 1974

Sheba Restaurant - Awarded Best Curry House In UK

I felt in love Indian foods in London. My mom, son, and I are from U.S. and had never tasted better Indian foods before. The portions were generous, and the presentation was great. All items that we ordered were awesome, and we finished them all. The hospitality was welcoming and the service was great. The price was even better that I spent only $58 for 4 orders. If I ordered the same menu items in US, it would be more than $120 plus 18% tips. I strongly recommend this place and definitely come back when I visit London soon.

Quite a nice Indian restaurant around brick lane area. The sizzling meat grill is always a great one to try and has lots of flavours in them. The curry was flavourful. Really salute the restaurant for having a full blast air con turned on during summer period. Really cooling when having Indian food in a hot summer lunch time in London.

Booked a table at Sheba came with my family loved the atmosphere there. The waiters were very attentive and helpful loved the food full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The Bengal Lamb Shank was cooked to perfection very soft and tender it literally peeled off the bone. I would recommend this place to everyone definitely returning back
Thanks Sheba

The pictures don't do justice, the food was very authentic, what a lovely gem in brick lane! We came here with a sleeping baby in the pram, and instantly space was made for us!
The speed of the food was good, the service was friendly, and the taste was great! We got lamb bhuna and chicken xacuti  - with a few starters and we didn't regret our choice! I would definately come back! It's been the best Indian we've had in 4 years in London!

The food is so good. It really deserves it's great reviews. The place is small but so busy. The staff are so nice as well. You really need do to reserve a table as there were queues of people waiting to get in

Fen Noodles

Every time I’m in London I have to get these noodles! They’re so so good, you can taste they’re freshly made and very authentic. Just be careful with the spice level. Although I usually handle spicy food quite well, the normal version is almost a bit too much for me. I’d definitely recommend choosing less spice if you can’t handle it well!

I asked for an extra chilli oil on my garlic aubergine thin noodles and oh gosh … it was tongue numbing hot. I find the portion to be too small for the price £9.50. I didn’t enjoy the dish as much as I expected. Would not get it again.

Got the aubergine handpulled noodles and they’re really good! Very very garlicky and the Aubergine is really soft
But: it is incredibly spicy!! I had to stop halfway through and take the rest home because it was so spicy. Hands down the spicest food I have ever had.

Four stars instead of five because I’ve had handpulled noodles before and the other ones were slightly better. Also: it’d be good to actually note how spicy the noodles are because it made it difficult for me to enjoy them. Had I known, had I chosen “less spicy”

Beef noodles with Biangbiang were excellent. I like the lamb bbq too. Perfect lunch place. Recommend it

Wow! I did not expect a noodle place in a touristy place in London to be this good. I got a mix aubergine and lamb noodle. The noodles were chewy and fresh. The spice packed a punch but you could taste other flavors. Really excellent for the price too.

Update May 2022: they no longer have lamb. It's just beef now. I tried the flank steak and it tasted low quality. The noodles are still chewy/delicious but the sauce and the meat wasn't good. Down rate to 3 stars

The chicken is halal but just the spicy fry mix chicken NOT the chicken soup.

Amigos Burgers & Shakes

Tried to order off Click & Collect and only three branches available on a website that’s barely functional… no drivers on Uber Eats either, so I ended up going hungry. Normally love your food, would recommend updating your site to be more user friendly in the future

Had the Jacob burger. Overall would say its a 8/10. Very buttery taste but still flavoursome.

4 stars because the chips were terrible. Very starchy and resembled a cardboard taste. Hope they improve that - but would have the burger again

The food is 5 stars however would have to give 1 star rating and will not be coming back 100% due to menu prices changed. I’ll show you a picture below what the original menu was but was changed few days later. The prices all gone up by £1+

Picked up some chips and burgers today.. fresh and good quality. Attentive service. Nice!!

If i could give it a - 0 I would. These reviews are all fake the food is absolutely disgusting. Meat is fake. Not a real meat. Absolutely waste of £20.

Yum Bun - Spitalfields Market

Ordered pork bun and chicken bun, very tasty! True Asian fusion :) the pork bun is bit similar to the Beijing duck approach. 9.5 pounds for 2 bun. Not too many choices but good enough for workday lunch. Only downside was the queue was too long during workday, had to wait 20+ min.

I do like this place, everybody loves the fluffy bao and this didn't dissapoint, had the bun box where you can mix n match 2 types of bun, comes with vege gyoza and a tasty slaw. I went for 1 fish, 1 pork...they were both really tasty pork won on flavour and those 2 were actually enough for lunch, quite filling..not soggy at all which can happen. Loved the variety and a deal, will be back!

So yummy! Got the pork bao & chicken bao. Tasted delicious, good value for money in my opinion, as I got the set of 2 (which I think cost £9.50? before discount) they also had a 15% NHS discount which was great! Love it and would definitely have it again.

Pork bun is really tasty. The soft bun coupled with savoury pork with hoisin sauce makes this petite bite a lethal combo. Also recommended to try the hot plum punch especially for cold weather.

Absolutely delicious mushroom bun! I thought I’d give the vegetarian bun a try and was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful and filling it was.

Yum Bun

PocketSquare Skyline Bar & Terrace

Very friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. The bar food is good. The view from there is amazing.
The only thing I would spot is that we reserved a table outside because they guaranteed there would be blankets available. When we asked for a blanket they said they did not have any available.
Luckily, it was not Crowded and we could move to a table inside.

Anyway, I would definitely recommend this bar and for sure I would be back. Lovely experience.

Beautiful cocktails, wonderful atmosphere, great staff and very talented bar crew that knows how to make your evening truly special! Definitely recommend this place for a cool weekend vibe as much as during the week - to enjoy a nice DJ set and have a superb quality of drink and the view!

Incredible cocktails and my new favourite view of the London skyline!

The food at the bar isn’t halal. However, you can able to pre order ahead of their booking and we can arrange it. A week's notice is sufficient.

@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Bari Bari Whitechapel on Instagram

Bari Bari

We just had a take out lunch and the food was good with the lunch menu price.
Ordered L2, L15 and L17.  Squid dish quite spicy but taste really good. The beef rib soup was nice too.
The reason we gave 3 stars due to missing “side dishes” that’s should come with L15 & 17. Also the staff working there was not friendly at all.

They are real Korean and food was okay, maybe that’s why there’s a queue and full house all the time.

I want to make clear that we did not have BBQ, so this review regards other food.
The reason for the 3 stars is due to: price and quality of food and service.
Although it was a bit busy (I've seen busier places with a better service), I find the delay in serving drinks and food not justifiable.
About the food, we had the Korean pancake which I consider a classic and it was a disappointment. The texture was quite springy (I like the pancake more crunchy) and it lacked flavour, but it might depend on your own taste. The tofu seafood stew was good as well as the noodles, but I was not impressed. So, basically they were average.
What we paid so not worth the price we paid. There are other places in central (Soho and Tottenham) cheaper and tastier!
Again, the BBQ might be different.

One of my favourite restaurants! Food was really hot and came within 10-15 minutes. All chicken and beef is halal and cooked separately. Very high quality and lovely staff. Would definitely go again!! Food in pictures: tteoboki, chicken with rice, chicken dumplings, Korean fried chicken, tofu soup, more Korean fried chicken and jajangmyeon. The Korean fried chicken was the crunchiest chicken I have EVER tasted and the sauce was delicious

I really enjoyed this venue.

I do like Korean food but this was the first time that I tried the table-top BBQ.

Only gripe was the kimchi, it appeared to be picked but not fermented, it was tasty though.

The meat portions for the BBQ were very generous. I would say that a single portion was enough for two people.

The staff are attentive, polite and accomodating.

I will definitely dine here again.

Although it was fully booked they made space for us especially with us having 2 pushchairs, the service was lovely. At first our food came quick and when we ordered again it did come slower but that was bound to happen due to them being busy. Overall great food and lovely staff :)

We serve Halal, ask a member of staff for details. Pork and Alcohol are also served.

Sister store to the legendary Grounded Coffee Company

Circle & Slice

best pizza (and pizza dough) I've ever had, and amazing pasta! super friendly (and Italian) staff. we shared a pasta plate and a pizza deal including 2 slices, a salad and a drink between two people for 16 pounds in total. 100% recommended!

A nice place to get a pizza, especially if you're vegetarian. I was really impressed by options available. Normally, I'd be lucky to get 2 vegetarian options, but Pixxa has five. I especially like the potato & rosemary as it's unusually, but imaginative choice for pizza topping and the aroma of the rosemary is just fantastic.

My only complaint is that the place is a little priced for what you get, £2.50 for a slice of pizza is a bit much, especially has it wouldn't really be a lunch meal.

The staff are friendly and efficient and are right there to get your order and pay.

The ingredients used are of good quality. I rarely have pizza. And having tasted their fabulous pizza with tuna and anchovies I am now fighting the urge to become a regular customer. Those living/working/passing by the neighbourhood, give this spot a try. You won't regret it. The owner Smil and waitress Angie are welcoming, friendly and warm. Speedy service delivered with a smile. And of course, mouth-wateringly delicious pizza!

I love this place. Convenient and really delicious pizza. Pear juice is lovely and chilli flakes for those who like heat!

So ... what made me give you 3 stars is following  ... I came to you at the weekend to have a pizza. I was there at 11:22I called before to ask if it is possible to eat in the Restaurant. The answer was yes,we have open until 12 pm.Once I arrived there the guy told me that it is not possible to eat in the Restaurant.So I was needed to eat my Pizza on the street,whitch is not nice....The pizza itself was ok for the price but nearly not perfect or very tasty...I prefer to pay a little more and eat something very tasty. But that's just MY PERSONAL opinion. All in all, the service and the pizza.... 3 stars from me, which means ok. 5 would be perfect, it couldn't be better,4 would be great, which it wasn't when I consider the service and the pizza ...Kind Regards.
Ps: I would definitely come back at a late time if I would need a Pizza and would be in this area.

Everything on our menu is Halal. No pork or alcohol is served.

Naan Staap®

I gave two stars only for the lovely masala tea,service wasn't great hence the low mark. No one was around to serve me had to wait couple minutes, finally a women turned up and she was suppose to make my tea yet she had to take a call and make the tea. I was in a rush as I had a baby in the car waiting with my partner and she was getting frustrated.  Overall lovely tea poor customer service.

Thank you very much for your excellent service at Naanstaap in New road. Myself, my family and friends reorder and visit their restaurant at least twice a week. Must try, delicious 😋👌🏽

I’ve been to their other branch in Forrest gate which is also great. So decided to go to this branch as it’s newer branch and closer to me. Tea was exactly same as the other branch which is great, loved the decor art, will definitely return and try few more stuff.

The best chaii I’ve ever had! Their stuffed naans are really good. Great service and decor.

Chai is amazing. Naans are great.
Is close to work, it is now a regular place for me and colleagues

We are HMC approved. This means our entire menu and supply-chain is certified Halal according to HMC standards. No traces of pork or alcohol in the store.

Yuriko

I often take my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the cooking is fantastic and the team is efficient and cooperative. Whenever we visit this place we have a gorgeous time.  warmly recommended.

Yuriko has become one of my favourite places to order from.
I highly recommend it, their beef bibimbap is delicious!

One of the best restaurant I have ever went. Very underrated but the food quality is amazing! Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for sushi and ramen/udon

Regular customer here. Good food, reasonable price and nice staff. Highly recomended

Yuriko is my trusted sushi restaurant when I order on UberEats. Fish is super fresh and dishes are all delicious

KFC Whitechapel - High Street

Quick service. The Inferno chicken bites are decent. I got the most spicy flavour which is peri Inferno bites. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Really nice staff, specially the Team Leader, Imraan. They have a really friendly customer service and they give attention to detail! Amazing for a busy hub to be honest...

Under cooked and hastily thrown together. Probably because the staffing seems to be one quality member of staff (she was fine) surrounded by a troupe of useless trainees.

She was basically running the place on her own.

Worst KFC in the country. Their chicken is either burnt or too salty.
Stuff are terrible too, they don't listen to you nd sometimes too busy arguing or singing by themselves.

Order £20 bucket . Had 3 pieces of chicken missing and fries were half full .

Local chicken shops does better food and portion . DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE .

IF YOU ORDER THEN YOU WILL NOTICE THE TASTE AND QUALITY OF THEIR FOOD 🤢

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.

The Sauce - Shoreditch

Gave this place a visit and the food was absolutely delicious. The bang bang wings were unique and everything including the service was well so five stars given. Will definitely visit to try something else on the menu! Halal too :)

Amazing experience, food was 10/10 staff are super friendly and even let me change the music on the PA for my snap video I made. I recommend the loaded box but make your own! My partner and I enjoyed it deffo back this week

I was searching for a good fries (chips) in London and finally I found some here
And the staff was very friendly I am definitely coming back

Alright so second review of this place. First I gave it 2 stars. This time round it's getting 5 stars. The bang bang wings really are the best wings you're going to eat. The thigh burger I ate was delicious also. A bit sad that it states 6 wings and they gave me 5. Other than that good food.

I went to The Sauce with a couple of friends one Saturday evening.

I am rating this restaurant 3 stars based on:

Positives:
- The table was clean
- The main customer service person was friendly (although he seemed to be overwhelmed with orders)
- The food was really good

Negatives:
- Many options on the menu were unavailable
- Waiting time was really long, we waited about 15-20 minutes for our food to arrive and even then we were short of one side.
- The staff member forgot to get our drinks until late.
- We ordered our food and paid for it only to be told that there were no fries available (although we were offered sweet potato fries)
- There were people who were either staff or friends of staff who went into the kitchen area to chat to staff, the were touching their hair a lot which is not good for hygiene purposes.

In summary a good place to come and eat gourmet style burgers, but please check with staff that items are available before ordering  to avoid disappointment.

The Sauce

Pizza Union Aldgate

Delicious and affordable wood fired pizza.

I’ve tried the margarita and the fungi (mushroom) pizzas and they are both amazing!

Their service is super quick and the quality is always consistent.
All the pizzas are 12inches and priced really well.

One of my preferred lunch spots in the area.

I loved my experience here. Cheap to the point you'll double take, the pizzas were thin and delicious. For only £5/6 you'll first thing it's the cost of a slice. It isn't. Friendly staff and a vibey atmosphere. I'll be coming back!

Friendly & helpful staff, clean & pleasant environment, comfortable temperature, great music at the right volume & delicious pizza! Cooked to perfection, speedy service, incredible prices. We visited mid- week at lunch time- there were plenty of free tables. Such a cool vibe with a mixture of customers. Such a pleasant experience. We can't wait to return.....

Simply love this place, great quality pizzas for a budget. The decor is very welcoming and theres always a good vibe in this place, the staff are amazing especially the amazing lady who takes your order at the till. Great food in a great location cant wait to visit again real soon.

The prices are so economical but the quality of food is not compromised. The pizza was light, freshly baked and devious. The staff were quite friendly and the place was cleaned regularly. We tried their cannoli which tasted fine too. Maybe one of the best places in central London to have a delicious pizza on pocket friendly prices.

Burgers LDN

Coming from NYC in United States I was interested to see how the wings were compared to my home. These were poor to say the least.
I’ve never seen so much breading on a wing before. Unfortunately we ordered three different flavors so we had to deal with that stomach ache. The burger was very sloppy the best part was the sweet potato fries but won’t be eating here the rest of my trip.

Coming from the U.S., I was curious about how a burger in London would taste. The answer is very different. I was blown away.

The hours are short but convenient for me being open til Midnight. The lads that work there are fun and friendly.

I'm not sure what exactly a smash burger is but I can tell you they are smashing. I've been there just about every night since I've tried it. I've had several different menu items.

The Pj, the Brick Lane and the Blimey are all delicious.  Melted cheese,  brioche bun, onion infused patties, specific sauce to the burger choice and the very slightly medium rare temperature wrap everything together into a tidy tasty sandwich.

Plain chips are hot and crispy. Very good. The Potato mess is amazing with the mince meat and cheese. I added the spicy scotch sauce they use on the Blimey to spice it up a bit.

If you are in Tower Hill/Aldgate area, stop in and see these chaps. The food here is absolutely brilliant!

This place is the definition of a "hidden gem". Originally found this on Google looking for a quick bite to eat whilst staying at a nearby hotel, now every time I stay nearby I make sure to visit.

It's located around the back of a pub so seems a bit suspicious at first, but just knock on the door and they're happy to take your order. Takes about 5-10 minutes and you can get a meal for under a tenner, which for London is good value.

These burgers are not fancy looking but my word they are packed full of flavour!!! Very filling and the chips are also really nice. My only critique is the drink comes in a glass bottle, so not great for "on the go", but by no means will that stop me going back every time I check a chance!

TRY THIS PLACE!!!

Seriously beautiful burger.

My wife had a chicken burger. She took a bite and said "this is really good".

I had the bbq burger and it was way better than anything you can get on the high Street, it was clear that alot of love was put into it!

Wheb you get to the door with the window knock on it! You will not be disappointed we will be back before we go home from our trip I think!

5 star review for a quick burger stop during a wedding! Not only were the team so friendly and nice to deal with but the burger was 10 out of 10 ! Definitely family run and would come back in a heartbeat! Great value for money too!

Delicious, freshly prepared Indian-style wraps

Naan Wrap

Ordered a rice box. Super over priced and flavourless.

Ordered a chicken rice box meal. There where two people working. One who took the order the other who was making the naans.

To make our order from already pre made food took serious amount of time which it should not have as there was no other customer.

The man who took my order was far more interested in his phone than packing my order. The other guy was busy making naans and when he was done ended up making my order which the guy who initially took the order could of done.

There seems to be a clear issue between these two people. They don’t even want to communicate and the lack of interest can be seen between them two.

I have uploaded a picture of the guy who took my order busy on his phone and the naan guy eventually making my order which the guy on the phone could of done. Their attitude is
Seriously affecting the business and I don’t see it lasting for long. They are in a prime spot to draw in customers from neighbouring business that are in long queues but loosing out.

One of the worst in Spitalfields. Naan was nice but very slow service for what was an overpriced and boringly flavoured chicken wrap. One person rolling dough, cooking naan and preparing the wraps when at one point there were 4 people behind the stall. The person taking orders kept on mindlessly taking more when none were being made. Rather than preparing the first order (mine) they chopped up another naan for samples which no one was eating. Only tried as a much better van had sold out, never again - waste of £8.50.

Ordered the chicken and paneer wrap. Really terrible, no sauce, making it very dry and no flavour from the chicken. You can find many better places in Spitalfields.

The Naan sample I tried was tasty and the staff were friendly but that was the good part.

I order a lamb meal with rice. The lamb was so salty, it was barely edible. The rice was stale and again barely edible too. The saving grace of the meal was the sauce. It made the meal palatable enough that I didn't throw it away from the get go.

I don't recommend this place at all. There are other options available nearby.

Nice chicken wrap, however slightly annoyed to have received a chicken wrap when I ordered a chicken and lamb wrap. There was no mention of this when I picked up the wrap - albeit a small mark on the receipt - and price is different to advertised.

All meat is Halal. No alcohol or pork served.

Tayyabs

I wanted to visit this place 10 years ago when  it was smaller. It wasn't busy today around 3pm so I would recommend this time. The presentation of food is excellent,  the service was fast but I had my concerns about the hygiene level. I some one of the staff filling a salad plate using his own bare hands which is not acceptable in my view. Hope this restaurant will take this critique seriously as their dishes are very good. On the positive side, the portions are generous and the staff are very friendly. I recommend the Mango Drink.

This is a great place to go to if you want the option of BYOB in east London. The food was tasty (we had the vegetarian samosas, the lamb chops which were delicious, and a few different curries). The curries were a bit oily and not as packed with flavour as expected, but still good - and very affordable!

One downside is we made a booking for 7:45 but only got a table 40 minutes later, as the front of house is a bit disorganized.

Tayyabs is famous for lamb chops but yesterday I felt like they cooked in a hurry.. some of them are not cooked well, and I can taste the raw masala. Most of the time they get confused with the orders. When you enter they are so nice.. the more time you take to complete the food, they reduce the nice behaviour as well. I understand their business model, but their service could be improved.

Always a good place. Especially if you have a larger group (booking essential).
Service is fast even when it is busy.
Food is fantastic - lamb chops, kebab and dry curry were all very tasty. Also plenty of good vegetarian options. Great value for money.
Mango lassi always a nice treat.

First time trying Pakistani food , quite interesting . Good portion of food . Food comes quite quickly , would be good if staff could ask before removing the plates ( I haven’t finished the salad yet ) .

Queue formed already on a Wednesday at 7:00 pm .

Introducing the new Nashville Range from Chico’s. This Nashville burger will defo give competition to the smash burger. I’ve tried Nashville only two other places. So I do have a little gist of an enjoyable Nashville burger. Also made my own Nashville Dirty Fries, ask them or show them the video, if they can make it for you. 
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Nashville Chicken Burger (£9)
🔳 Nashville Wings (£5-7)
🔳 Nashville Loaded Fries (Off The Menu)
🔳 Smash Burger (£8.50)
🔳 Chicken Loaded Fries (£5)
.
The Nashville chicken burger comes with an amazing thigh piece. It was super juicy and moist. Cooked to perfection. The Nashville sauce was perfection. It was the perfect heat. Not overly spicy but a nice warmth on the tongue. It was just perfect. Defo would rate this as a top top top chicken burger. Honestly must try 
.
The Nashville wings again perfect. The out batter remained crispy even after the Nashville oil and powder spices. 
.
Nashville loaded fries which is off the menu and I told them to make this for me. And it was banging. It will give competition to my previous favourite loaded fries that they sell. Show them the video and ask them for that loaded fries lol 
.
All in all must try this Nashville range. I’m sure I don’t need to talk about the smash burger and other dishes as they already legendary. Hurry and try the Nashville range
.
- Fully Halal

@halalhunt's review of Chicos Whitechapel on Instagram

The flavours of Tennessee, U.S.A, has come to Brick Lane, with @chicos_london launching their Nashville range.

If you love the taste of spicy poultry with a savoury burn, then you have to give @chicos_london's new menu a try. 

Succulent, moist chicken with a blend of well balanced spicy seasoning, really ignites your taste buds.

San Sebastian Cheesecake is all the rage at the moment. This is a gorgeous dessert and @chicos_london definitely is serving a good quality pudding. Even if you're not a fan of burgers, you definitely should try out the San Sebastian.

We tried the following dishes.

Smashin Prawns £8.00
Loaded Nachos £9.50
Nashville Hot Wings £6.00
The Nashville Meal £11.50
Legendary Chico's Smash Burgers £11.00
San Sebastian Cheesecake £6.00
Brownie & Ice Cream £5.50 

Get your cowboy boots on and indulge in some wonderful comfort food.

@halal_chronicles's review of Chico’s on Instagram

Chicos

I recently visited Chicos, a smash burger restaurant, and I was really impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities. The restaurant was spotless, which is always a plus in my book.

In addition to the clean facilities, I was also impressed with the size of the menu. There was a wide variety of options to choose from, including a halal menu, which was great for those who are looking for halal options.

I decided to try the Nashville chicken wings, and they did not disappoint. They were spicy, tender, and well flavored. The chicken nuggets and chips were also a hit, particularly with my little one, who enjoyed them thoroughly.

But the real star of the show was the smash burger. It was always excellent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious burger.

Overall, I had a great experience at Chicos. The clean facilities, large menu, and tasty food all contributed to a fantastic dining experience. If you're in the mood for a smash burger, I would definitely recommend checking out Chicos.

Service was really good, friendly staff...deco is really nice.

Food was on point.. Waiting time wasn't so bad.

Burger was a tasty and a proper burger.. Not like some of the other takeaways... Selling cheap burgers. And price is reasonable.

Keep up the good work guys, don't let us know. Will be back if the food stays the same!
