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.

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.

Macellaio RC Clerkenwell

Amazing food, the Staff were really great. My friend never normally orders a blue steak anywhere but tonight was exceptional. When we arrived we were relocated to a great table opposite the kitchen.  Great evening!.

Amazing! We booked a table at Farringdon restaurant for 2 on Friday, it was soooo good we booked table for 4 Saturday as well!
Food was outbid this world - all of it. The choice cut T-Bone was best I’ve had and I’ve had a fair offering of steaks over the years.

The service was exceptional and special praise must go to Anita who was just sensational, so friendly and knowledgeable she couldn’t do enough for us.

You need to go try this place out!

Excellent meal. Came for a birthday and they made sure we felt like it the entire meal! The best steak I’ve ordered in a long time and sides fantastic too. Ahsan was fantastic.

I had a wonderful dinner with my partner for my birthday, I would highly recommend Macellaio for a special occasion. We were served by the very kind Silvia who explained all the steak cuts to us in detail and made sure we had the best dinner. I also got a lovely birthday tiramisu and we were offered a couple of digestivi at the end. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant was also perfect for an evening of steak and red wine 🍷 all in all, we had a great time here and I look forward to the next visit.

Lovely place had. A great table in the back. The food was excellent (well a bit better than that).  Service very good.

Grilled chicken marinated with South American inspiration

Assenheims bar and grill

Large portions, so quite good value for money.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Absolutely delicious  food and value for money.

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

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

Staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PizzaExpress

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pizza Express

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.

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.

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.
