Chettinad Restaurant

Super delicious South Indian food! The sambar, dosa and biyani are very flavorful. The best Indian food I ate in London.
The service here is also great. I spilled the coffee, they cleaned it fast and give me a new one. When I was eating the biyani, the staff saw my face is red cus of spicy, he even give me a milkshake to release it.
Many thanks and very recommended!

Food was amazing, it was really nice to share with some friends who have never had  Tamil/south Indian food before and they really loved it.

The atmosphere is really nice and the room has a good vibe.

I would have given both food and atmosphere 5 stars but I wanted to save it for the service just to highlight how good it was!!

It was my friend's birthday and she has recently moved to London from Korea. We had bought a cake for her as a surprise and the staff were amazing, bringing the cake out with happy birthday and candles. Service was quick and the staff were friendly and throughout. The staff went above and beyond to make it a special day for my friend and she had a really memorable first birthday in London. Thank You to all the staff and chefs for making it such a great experience!!

Had a wonderful first experience of South Indian cuisine! I was dining solo and got lucky with getting a table right away, without a prior reservation. Ordered based on the recommendation from staff: a mini masala dosa, a kappayum meenum (fish) and some paratha on the side. All in all, the dosa was wonderfully crispy, the fish gravy super well spiced and smokey and after a meal they brought a refreshing complementary mango lassi ☺️ The service was pleasant, very fast and not intrusive. The place seemed really popular with bigger groups, which made it super loud on that evening - not sure if that’s a typical occasion or not. But the food was 100% worth it!

Soooo yummy!! I’ve been craving Kerala cooking and the erachi and masala dosa didn’t disappoint - absolutely delicious. Didn’t have to wait long for the food to come and staff were very friendly!

The chicken briyani I had was so flavourful with very generous chicken pieces. I thoroughly enjoyed it :D Atomsphere was lovely with melodious Tamil songs being played. Service staff was great and very attentive to us as well. You won’t regret coming here. :)

Some of our meat is Halal. Please ask a member of staff for details.

Marinated Lamb and Seafood Bibimbaps at Superstar BBQ, Korean favourites 😍 the beef was tender and seasoned beautifully, just about the better of the two! We couldn’t go to a Korean Restaurant and not order Duk Bok Gi, one of our best-loved starters, along with Crispy Calamari!

P.S. only chicken and lamb is halal.

@twopeasfoodies's review of SuperStar BBQ Holborn on Instagram

SuperStar BBQ

We had a great time at Superstar Korean BBQ! The lunch was absolutely yummy, and the food quality was excellent for such a decent price. I really loved the good vibe of the restaurant, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The staff provided good service and were very friendly throughout our visit. I truly enjoyed my experience and will definitely be coming back!

Great appetizers at Super Star, their kimchi jeon is fantastic! Their Korean Fried Chicken and Yuk Gae Jang is also very delicious and a must try. The Bibimbap portions were a little smaller than expected but good. The chicken fried noodles were ordinary.

This was my first time trying Korean and also experiencing cooking at the table.

The food was fantastic. Our waitress, Melissa was exceptional. She helped me choose from the menu, ensuring I got to sample the best and make choices that were both wide ranging yet economical.

I would definitely come back.

Ps. I only took two photos, the rest were videos and I can’t upload videos to show just how great everything was 💛

Great food. Great service. Will come back again. Try Bingsu for dessert.

Bibibamp were quite nice and authentic too.
Fried chicken is not so Korean style but good on its own style. Pancake was thin and crispy, how it should be!

We booked a Groupon voucher after checking the dates it was available, and when we arrived we were told they weren’t doing that anymore somehow. After showing them the voucher and the fact that it’s still valid and listed on the website, they reluctantly sat us down and told us they’re gonna make an exception. For what? We were still paying customers and they made us feel so unwelcome.

On top of that, when the food arrived it was all horrible. We ordered the side of 5 dumplings and they brought us 2 (despite the menu listing 5), and when we asked why they said they changed it for the Groupon vouchers. Again the change not listed anywhere. Because three pieces of frozen dumplings will really make a big difference to their revenue🫠 Also the Fried chicken was practically inedible - pink inside, and the chicken bibimbap smelled and tasted of fish! No idea whether they just didn’t care to cook our food properly or what was done to it but it was one of the worst meals I’ve had in London.

The whole evening we felt so unwelcome and treated poorly so we had to leave as the food was disgusting on top of that.

A shame because the last time I went to this place, we really enjoyed it but the management needs to get fired frankly. Do not recommend.

Our chicken is Halal and since all ingredients are prepared separately, there’s no risk of cross-contamination. You may ask staff to change the grill upon seating.

Shake Shack Tottenham Court Road

I rarely give 5 stars on food, but this deserves it! This was hands down the best food I've had in a long time! The burger was so soft and juicy. I ordered the Shackmeister and it was amazing! The chicken bites and the chips just added to it, and the caramel shake was so good! 😋 they even had honey mustard too!! Try this food, you won't be disappointed.

Stopped at Shake Shack on Tottenham Court Road for a quick bite and it delivered exactly what you expect—fast, consistent, and solid across the board. The burger was juicy and well put together, with the usual soft bun, melted cheese, and good balance of sauce and seasoning. Fries were hot, crisp, and not greasy, which is not always a given with fast food. The shake was thick, smooth, and tasted as it should—rich but not overly sweet.

Service was fast and efficient, even during a busy stretch. Staff were polite and kept the queue moving without cutting corners. The space is clean, seating was available, and the turnover was fast enough that it did not feel cramped.

Pricing is what it is—higher than average for fast food, but still worth it for the consistency and quality you get. You know what you are getting, and they stick to it well. A dependable option if you are in the area and want something quick but better than the usual chains.

I would also suggest that they have the world’s smallest sink in that toilet lol! Should’ve been much bigger!

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)
I absolutely love Shake Shack! The food is always fresh, and the burgers are to die for. The ShackBurger is a must-try—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The crinkle-cut fries are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of salty.

This is my first time trying this location and Lochitha welcomed us with a smile and helped us with our order, which made the experience even better. The vibe at the location is always great, whether you're grabbing a quick meal or hanging out with friends. I also appreciate how clean and well-kept everything is, which shows how much they care about quality.
Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re craving a quick but high-quality meal. Thanks to Lochitha and the team for always making the experience awesome! Can’t wait to return!

The service was fast, friendly, and very smooth. Ordering was easy, and there was a good variety of options on the menu.
We didn’t have to wait long at all — the food was prepared quickly. Most importantly, the food was clean, fresh, and very delicious.

A great experience overall, and I would definitely visit again.

Delicious food, quiet and spacious, but extremely expensive. We orders for two people, a burger, fries and milkshake for both of us, and i believe the price came up to around 50-60£

The chicken we use in our Chicken Shack and Chicken Bites in every UK Shack is halal-certified, including our 2021 festive Black Truffle Chicken item. 

However, we must highlight that we do also sell non-halal menu items in our business - as such, our beef is not halal. We hope this helps but if you have any more questions, please do reach out to us.

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Oxford Circus

Always The best burger and fries at HB compared to other chain. Reasonable prices and conveniently located, although the place is quite small but service is good and welcoming. Coleslaw salad looks a bit sad served like this but tasted ok. The kids menu is good, also served a few veggies and GF options

1st time I've been here before lunchtime and it was great, straight in and sat down, ordered food and was eating in no time. Always like going to an Honest Burger for a bite to eat the food is always spot on, hot and delicious. Of you get the chance give them a look, you won't be disappointed..... just be aware that at later times in the day ALL Honest Burgers get extremely busy, you'll have to wait for a seat but they're very efficient and quick at making that happen!

Delicious burgers, as always. My wife and I recently visited (first time at this location) and were plesantly reminded that nearly everything is gluten free in the establishment (wonderful news for me, being coeliac). The mint lemonade is a must--but we've enjoyed every meal we've had at Honest.

We've been to another branch of honest burgers last year and it was so good we wanted to go again. The rosemary chips are sooooo good. The onion rings and buffalo wings were a hit with my granny and i really liked the vegan burger. It's cool how you can see the kitchen when you go to the bathroom as well. Thanks a lot :)

The burgers are great! And the French fries were magnificent. Thank you, good food and nice service.

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.

#invite The hottest cafe in Covent Garden right now with the coolest dessert on show! 🍎
.
We were recently invited to visit Apple Butter Cafe in the Seven Dials area of Covent Garden. The food is a blend of Middle Eastern flavours with a western twist, making it very unique.

Firstly we tried the Slow Cooked Beef Pasta and the Rigatoni all’Arrabbiata, which we’re both cooked exquisitely. Both displayed some amazing fresh flavours and the pasta was perfectly al dente. The former of the two dishes was particularly unique, as the dish was packed with flavours, while the beef and the pasta sauce blended beautifully.

Finally we tried for desserts, the most talked about dessert in Covent Garden right now- the Apple! This was a desert shaped like an Apple, coated in white chocolate and filled with apple mousse, with sprinkles of chocolate cookie crumbs, dried apple and honeycomb surrounding it. It was as heavenly as it sounds! 🤤 This was by far one of the most unique desserts we’ve eaten.

Overall, this is a great, cosy cafe with some amazing quality food and high standards at very reasonable prices in the heart of London. The staff are great too, which is always a massive bonus. We will definitely be returning to try out more of the menu! 🙌🏽

Truffle Burger | Soho

I really like burgers and I didn’t want to leave London without trying some.

I found this place thanks to chatgpt (:p) and I was surprised by their burgers.

We had their truffle burger and cheeseburger burger and some very delicious potatoes with blue cheese. If you are in London you absolutely have to try it.

I hope I can come back soon :)

The staff are very kind too!

I’ve been eating Truffle’s burgers for years and yet have never left a review here - their OG Signature Truffle burger remains my favourite burger in London/ of all time (and I eat many)! It has the juiciest patties (a mix of beef and smoked bacon), tonnes of melted raclette, lashings of their divine truffle mayo, crispy onions and a fruity fig jam which perfectly compliments the intensely rich and meaty flavours of the burg - all in a fresh and fluffy brioche bun. It is insanely delicious and perfectly balanced. This is just one of their burgs; the entire menu is awesome and has been consistently excellent since their opening, and there is something for everyone (including non-truffled options if you don’t like truffle 🤣) 🥰

Soho is their original permanent residence and will always have a special place in my heart - it’s a great vibe with a super friendly team. I can’t recommend Truffle more highly!

Truffle burger was really good. I selected the double one and it was slightly salty to me so maybe a regular one is a better choice. The service was pretty quick. The interior created a very subtle feeling of uncleanliness but overall it was fine. I recommend this spot for a quick burger bite for sure!

Unbelievable find on a day out in between bars. Service and atmosphere was superb. Two of us sat at the counter and could see the chefs prep the food. We were really impressed with the quality. I ordered the Truffle burger 10/10 Truffle fries 10/10 and Chicken tenders 10/10. All absolutely bangin’. Benedict served us and was very patient with us and recommendations were top drawer.

Got the truffle burger and truffle + Parmesan fries. Burger was good - they blend the bacon into the patty which is great for flavour but gives some stringiness to the texture which wasn’t great. Fries were fantastic and high recommend but you have to eat them quickly before the cheese cools and congeals.

Our beef is Halal. Or you can go for the truffle burger without bacon and you will need to let us know to remove the bacon when ordering. We have a separate grill which we use in Soho to cook the beef separate from any pork products.

We had such high hopes for this place! ☹️

Japes is a new Pizza Parlour that opened recently in Soho and is, apparently, the first place in London that does Deep Pan Pizza! 🍕 So naturally, we ordered a pizza (the Medditerannean) and the Parmagiana. The pizza was tasty, and that was mostly due to the fact that we love deep pan, cheesy pizza. We did expect more from the toppings though. The Parmagiana was literally just... cheese. All we could taste was cheese 🙂🧀. Not a great veg lasagne! The Garlic Bread was also VERY dry.. took us a while to munch through it while watering down our throats 😂

Japes Soho

Very disappointing experience.

We visited on Monday evening with my family. The restaurant was quiet, with fewer than 10 tables occupied. Our Chicago-style pizza was made incorrectly and had to be remade. One staff member handled this professionally, which we appreciated.

However, the main issue was the unequal treatment by another staff member. While we were briefly speaking on the phone, an older male staff member with a beard came over and asked us to lower our voices. At the same time, the table next to us—around five British customers—was speaking much louder and laughing constantly, yet no one said anything to them.

We were the only Asian customers in the restaurant, and this selective enforcement made us feel clearly targeted and discriminated against. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and completely ruined the dining experience. Fairness and respect should apply to all customers, not just certain groups.

I strongly urge management to address this incident seriously and provide proper staff training to prevent this from happening again

It was such an amazing experience! I went with my friends for an early dinner around 6 PM, and we mainly tried the Chicago-style Wicked Chicken Pizza — honestly, it was the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life! We also tried two or three other varieties, and each one was delicious, but the Wicked Chicken Pizza was definitely the star of the show. The flavors were incredible, and one pizza was easily enough for two people.
Highly recommend trying the Chicago-style Wicked Chicken Pizza — it’s a must-have! 🍕🔥

My first Chicago style pizza and I was sceptical but it was really delicious. I definitely go again because there were so many more I wanted to try but it’s very filling. The only slight down was the salad which was very bitter and drenched in  dressing. Lovely waiter too.

Great pizza and friendly staff!
The pizza was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The crust was perfectly baked and the ingredients tasted high quality. The staff were very kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. A great place to enjoy good pizza — I would definitely come back and recommend it to others.

Japes in Soho is one of my absolute favourite places to get pizza, and last night once again reminded me why!

We were served by Nole, one of the main members of staff who is always there when we visit. He treated me and my friends with genuine respect, remembered us, and made us feel truly welcome. That level of consistency and personal care is rare. He even said, “We are friends now,” which is exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to keep coming back. He kindly gave us desserts as well, which was a lovely touch and very much appreciated by all of us.

We come here regularly and recommend Japes to friends all the time. Quite a few of our friends have visited because of our recommendations, and they always say the same thing about the food, atmosphere, and service. There is a lot of consistency here, which really says everything about the place.

The only small negative we have experienced is with one particular waiter. We have been served by her a few times, and every time it feels like she does not want to be here. We genuinely hope she manages to find peace in her life and eventually give better customer service. She even turned us away on New Year’s Eve with a lame excuse even though there were plenty of tables available. I myself come from a customer service background, so I understand how stressful high pressure environments can be, but that does not mean it should be taken out on customers. This does not take away from the overall experience enough to lower the rating, which is why this is still a full five stars.

We were really hoping Nole would be working when we came in, and he was. The food was great, the service from him was excellent as always, and we all left happy and not disappointed at all.

Japes remains one of our favourite pizza spots in London, and we will absolutely keep coming back.

On the menu in our restaurant we serve Halal chicken wings, chicken burgers, and chicken pizza.

Tamarind Kitchen

Great modern Indian restaurant in the heart of Soho. The decor is classy, service is great, food is fantastic (everything was very tasty, special mention to the starters - crab cakes and samosas - only the lamb shank was a bit of a letdown). It’s a bit on the pricey side so be warned. We booked the private room for 8 and it was a quiet and colourful room. I’ve been to many good Indians and this one ranks amongst the best. Forget Dishoom which has turned very bad these days, try the Tamarind Kitchen instead, I highly recommend it!

Omg!!! I just found an amazing Indian food with amazing cocktail restaurant! We were hungry and I am definitely gonna say that this have been by far my amazing experience dinning in london🫶🏻 …. Very decent and delicious food, lovely atmosphere and great service! The chicken korma worth getting ur hand on!

My wife and I had an amazing dining experience here. Our reservation was for 22:15 because we were coming right after a show and the kitchen closes at 22:30. We knew it was a bit of a stretch but the service was sooo amazing nonetheless. They accommodated everything and more for us. I did not get the names of the members who accommodated us but it was a young lady and gentleman and they were awesome.

The food is another thing. A1! I recommend the lamb shank FOR SURE! I will most certainly be back and will be happy to patronize this wonderful restaurant again.

Thanks Tamarind Kitchen for making our late anniversary dinner super nice!

Went in for a very late dinner and caught them just before kitchen closed. We were lucky! We had a mix of a coupe small plates, grill plates and a veggie solution. It was all very good and tasty. It was pricy given we didn't have a single main though.

We dined at tamarind kitchen for a date night. We were given a table and requested the hostess for a different one which she kindly accommodated. The drinks cocktails alcoholic and non-alcoholic was fantastic. The papdi chaat was tangy and delicious. The main course portions were big and filling. The Briyani was flavourful. The butter chicken was slight thinner which is  unusual to texture of the dish but tasty. Overall a good dining experience with good service and ambience.

The staff of this restaurant has verbally confirmed halal status.

@eaststreeteats | The coconut prawns were something new and definitely something we’d order again, the slight coconut flavour in the breadcrumb worked really well with the prawns and sweet chilli dip.

This was probably one of the best chicken Pad Thai’s we’ve tried, fresh and full of flavour especially with the lime and the chicken katsu was super crispy, while the curry sauce was rich and creamy. 

Overall this is a great place with a wide selection of items on their menu, all great value for money and a unique atmosphere, definitely somewhere worth trying out.

@cravinghalal's review of East Street by Tampopo Fitzrovia on Instagram

Tampopo Fitzrovia

What a lovely spot! Myself and my partner booked a table last minute online with no hassle. Our server, Maisha, was super nice and very helpful. We ordered the seafood sharing menu, which was slightly spenny but considering the restaurant’s location, understandable. Menu highlights - roasted hispi and Thai fried sea bream. Great for group outings and families!

4.7 is an honest rating, and it’s definitely our discovery of the year so far!
We tried the Christmas menu, which is available for groups of 4+ persons. It includes many of the most popular dishes from the menu and turned out to be a great choice.
In addition, we ordered Pad Thai and chili/garlic edamame — both were amazing.

All the food is prepared with great care and full of flavor.

The place gets quite busy, so making a reservation is recommended.

The street-style Asian design creates a great vibe, and the service was good as well.

Ofc you have to love Asian food to enjoy of it, many plate has strong tastes, which I love. So it’s recommended.
We will definitely come back with friends again

We had a few doubts before going in because the restaurant was quite empty, but oh my gosh… this ended up being some of the best food we had during our London trip.

The flavours were incredible — the laksa soup and the chicken patty were simply amazing, full of rich and authentic taste. Everything felt fresh and comforting.

The prices are absolutely reasonable, especially considering it’s located in a very touristic area. If you’re looking for affordable, delicious Asian food, this place is a huge recommendation. We loved it and would definitely come back! Maisha was amazing.

Staff we welcoming, friendly and informative - happy to chat to customers about the menu and to consider dietary requirements.

The venue is aesthetically fun, stylish and relaxed, comfortable lighting and the chairs weren't the uncomfortable type.

There was mid-volume music on, creating a nice atmosphere, I arrived early so wasn't talking but the volume was perfect for other tables to talk easily and for me to enjoy the music. Poppy RnB type bangers.

The food was good, I ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee which took a while but I was advised this when I ordered so didn't mind at all. It was very sweet and pretty strong (I'm a bit of a decaff girl these days so that'll be me jogging off the energy for the next hour or so)

I had two small plates and a side, rather than opting for something from the brunch menu - which sounded delicious and I'll try if and when I come back.

The pork gyoza were nice - I wouldn't say they were exhilarating, but they tasted good. Portion size was decent for around £8 in central London. The sweetcorn fritters were tasty, I would probably order them again. The only thing I would have liked with them would be maybe a spicy/sweet dip like a gochujang or a spicy Thai chilli jam.

The side of cucumber kimchi salad was a good size and tasty.

Overall I've given the food a good, but not amazing, score - because it was definitely tasty, but I was hoping for bigger flavours, maybe more of a kick of spice or sweet or umami.

I would come back and try some of the brunch items, and some of the large plate items though as they sound nice - I would recommend coming here, don't be discouraged that I didn't give the food a 5/5, it's a nice spot and worth a punt.

We stumbled upon this restaurant as it was one of the only places open after the theatre, and I’m glad we did.

With so many countries’ cuisines to choose from, we went with the beef rendang roti, nasi goreng and katsu udon soup, all of which hit the spot. Especially given the price, it exceeded expectations.

The restaurant was decorated with interesting trinkets and signs from a variety of Southeast Asian and East Asian countries, everything was perfectly curated and made us feel like we weren’t actually sitting in London. Would definitely visit again.

We have Halal, vegan and meat options available.

East Street

Tongue & Brisket

I stumbled upon this Reuben sandwich in the heart of London, and it was a flavor-packed surprise. The bread was fresh and slightly chewy, perfectly holding together the generous layers of tender, juicy beef. The meat had that deep, savory flavor you expect from a deli classic, balanced by the tang of sauerkraut and the creaminess of the dressing.
Paired with a tropical Fanta, the salty and sweet contrast made each bite even more satisfying. It’s hearty, indulgent, and perfect if you’re craving a taste of New York in London.

This place is already a 5 star on its own, but Hafiz and Allister just doubled the experience.

Food’s amazing — beef brisket is soft and you can ask if you prefer leaner or fatter cuts.. it’s served warm.. u can’t even imagine beef bagels can taste like this. It’s divine.

And service by hafiz and allister always make the visit a joy! I’ve been here a year and come an average of once a month. I will take the tube a station or two just to have this.. wish I could have this forever

We visited May 28, 2025. This was the closest to a NYC deli we have ever found, and the sandwiches were almost as good. Quick service, nice and clean (and small) dining area.

Food was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and friendly.
Had to pay £1 each to sit inside to eat our meal.
Roast beef and salad sandwich.
Salted beef and salad sandwich.
Chips.

I’m a big fan of salt beef sandwiches and usually go to the Brass Rail in Selfridges or to Brick Lane. But passed this place so decided to give it a try. Not good- the salt beef was stringy and chewy. Bread was nice but that was all. Was also quite dirty. Next time I’ll stick to my regulars!

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.

The Kati Roll Company

I am in absolute love with this place the food is marvellously delicious. I wasn’t hungry much but when i took the first bite of achari panner roll i ate entire roll over filled stomach. Also, i took a bite of chana masala which is also delicious and a masala chai which was an absolute taste of the one i make for myself at home. Loved it.

I would recommend try achari panner if i u love a lil bit tanginess and a cheese (Apetina panner) like roll

Really enjoyed the food here. The parathas are freshly made and not frozen which is rare and makes a big difference.
Tried the aloo masala and chicken, both were tasty and good value for money.
Would’ve liked a bit more sauce but can’t complain.
Food 8/10.
Ambiance 8/10.
Would go again.

A great place to buy lunch if you're shopping on Oxford Street. Decorated with Bollywood posters, the service is fast and the food is good value. The rice plate comes with salad, your choice of protein, paratha, a spicy masala mash And relish.

Great vibe, can't believe they have a UK location. I visited a Manhattan location over 10 years ago and was just as satisfied as I was back then.  Don't forget to get a masala chai with your roll, you'll enjoy the combination.

It's quite a small place with limited seating but serves the best Calcutta street food- the delectable rolls of Kolkata.
They come in a variety of compositions, suitable for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
The unda-chicken roll is highly recommended.
And of course they also serve Thums Up! India's favourite soft drink, with a punch!
The decor blew out minds. It's just full of old posters, mostly films but also political, resembling what defines Calcutta.
The downsides- unclean toilet and the tea wasn't great. Best to avoid both.
It's also a shame that they charge separately for sauces and chilli.

Tattu London

We had our office Christmas lunch at Tattu London, and it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the décor was absolutely exquisite. Staff were super friendly and attentive throughout.

We chose the 3-course set menu, which was more than enough food—everything was delicious. The sushi was fresh and crisp, the steak was perfectly cooked medium-well on a bed of asparagus, and the dessert was sweet and moreish. We added duck pancakes and char siu pork, which were both tasty, but honestly, the set menu alone is plenty.

One funny note: the round tables look like Lazy Susans, so everyone tried to spin them at some point!

Overall, a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m trying more of their cocktails!

This was my first visit to the London location, having previously only been to the one in Edinburgh. While I found the venue charming, I don't think it matches the appeal of the Edinburgh spot. The food was quite tasty, but I don't feel it offers good value for the price. I understand the location is busy, but I could find similar dishes for significantly less in nearby places. I sampled a few cocktails, and while the cherry blossom was enjoyable, it was a bit lacking in quantity. What stood out to me the most were the music and our server, who I believe was named Alex. Overall, I wasn’t particularly impressed and don’t think I would return.

I had a really good experience at Tattu, the atmosphere is very cool, they had a DJ while we were there, along with a nice fitout and a number of rooms.

It was very busy when we first arrived at 7 with alot of people leaving and others coming in, this lead to a delay at the cloakroom and a bit of a build up of people on the upstairs lobby. It took a bit over 5 minutes to be seated.

The cocktails that we had were all nice, well presented and had a unique trist to them. I think the tea service was so so and keeping the water topped up during the meal could have been better.

The food was generally expectional, we had the mixed dumplings taster, which all rated nice and again was well presented. The sticky beef which was great.

Our mains we had pork belly, tofu and shredded duck fried rice. I thought the duck fried rice was ok but not at the same standard as the rest of the dishes, it tasted like something I could get at a local shop while everything else tasted expectional.

We had the pagoda chocolate desert, which was nice but I think I would give desert a miss if I went again.

Service seemed attentive and friendly but also a little slow at times given the number of staff and the 14.5% service charge I think it could be better.

We went just before Christmas. Everyone was seated in an area away from the flowered rooftop which was disappointing, as that was the main reason we booked. We were given a far more expensive menu, and only the 'set menu' upon request. The starter and dessert was average, but the main was excellent. I found the servers a bit hit and miss. Our main server was very friendly and accommodating, changing wine when it wasn't to our taste. The starter however, came out before our drinks had even arrived. Another woman was quite rude and seemed offended when asked questions (which she told us curtly not to ask her, but the servers). I asked her later politely to take a photo of me with the flowers, and she seemed irritated. It's a shame as we mostly enjoyed our experience, but for the above reasons it's a 3/5.

I had an incredible experience at Tattu!
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was stunning – elegant, modern, and full of character. The food was absolutely exceptional, with every dish beautifully presented and full of bold, authentic Chinese flavors.

What truly made the evening special was the service. Our bar manager, MICHELE, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His knowledge of cocktails and attention to detail were outstanding — each drink was balanced, creative, and matched perfectly with the dishes. You could really feel his passion for hospitality.

Tattu isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a whole experience — one that I’ll definitely be coming back for. Highly recommend!

Our chicken and lamb are halal. Some of our dishes do have alcohol reduced down in the sauces, however an allergy matrix will get brought over for you to help with your decision. 

We do also have a good selection of seafood and vegetarian dishes also.

Tattu

First visit September 2025.
didn’t expect to find such authentic flavors in the heart of London, but Tongue & Brisket completely impressed me. The brisket was incredibly juicy, tender, and full of rich flavor — the kind of dish that makes you pause and just enjoy. Fresh bread and tangy pickles made it even better. The whole place has that classic deli feel, and the service was outstanding. It felt like stepping into a New York deli with a London twist. Highly recommend the brisket with mustard — unforgettable. Price is 11£ which is ok. We had a brownie and strudel for desert both very delicious

Absolutely banging salt beef with chips (£14). Ask for half salad. The dining area is a windowless bathroomless cavern, but you’ll be too busy wolfing down the goods.

Good lord, this is outrageously good food.

Portion sizes are great, and it’s actually filling. I’m not talking the bloated-full from fast food, this is the stuffed feeling you get from a decent roast dinner.

Will 100% return while I’m in the area for work.

Only downside, if forced to pick one, is that I wish it was cheaper, but that’s not their fault, in Rip off Britain they probably can’t afford to make it any cheaper. I didn’t feel didn’t feel like I paid too much, though, it was a great plate of food.

Atmosphere inside is old school and quality. Staff are great

Dingy, narrow and basic space with takeaway containers for food and drink even for eating in. Salt beef really needed the accompanying gravy.
Should (but did not) dock a * for leaving the front door open on a cold day, even though only one person came in while we were there,  leaving the eating section - essentially a long, unheated cupboard- feeling most uncomfortable.

It was a nice place. The deli selection was all halal and the service was very good. I enjoyed the food, however I would have thought the baguette and the meat would have been warmed up but it was cold. Anyways, would want to come back to try something else on the menu

Which Wich Superior Sandwiches

Which Wich Superior Sandwiches really impressed me with its freshness and variety. The bread was soft and flavorful, with different cuts to choose from, and the sandwich fillings tasted just as fresh. I loved how you could customize everything to your preference, which made it feel like a meal made exactly for me.

On top of the sandwiches, I was pleasantly surprised by their cakes and coffee. Both were a great addition and made the whole experience more enjoyable. It’s a spot that feels healthy yet still indulgent, and I’d happily come back whenever I’m craving a wholesome but tasty bite.

We ordered a bacon 🥓 muffin which tasted mouth watering.
It arrived very fast and very hot.
Also an ultimate breakfast muffin which was bacon 🥓 sausage  and one egg.
My friend ate this one he said the sausage was juicy and tasted very good.
The egg 🥚 Yolk was hot and runny and tasted very nice.
10/10 Will be back soon.

An amazing sandwich spot to grab a quick bite to eat. Pair with side of fries or chips and your favorite beverage!!!!

-chicken sandwich: 7/10, didn’t originally order this but might be my new protein choice it was really good and juicy
-fries: 7/10, salted to perfection and crispy

We visited the Tottenham Court Road location – it’s a busy area, but we easily found a table. Service was quick, and the staff were really helpful.
I had the Shrimp sandwich and it was excellent, while my friend had a vegetarian option and really enjoyed it. The chips came in massive portions – great for sharing!
Love the whole concept of customisable sandwiches, and the friendly staff/atmosphere, good prices,  makes it a place we’d happily come back to. Thank you.

We got the philly cheesesteak and roast beef with mushrooms. Both sandwiches were really great! Hot throughout, bread was perfectly toasted and the fillings were tasty. There was a very polite server, we didn’t catch his name but he was very friendly. We will be coming again in the future for sure! I would say always go large as you definitely get your money’s worth when compared to the size of a regular

The chicken is halal and we have a few seafood options as well. We are aiming to make the meat halal soon as well!

Which Wich

Vietnamese street-food specialist known for its 'Pho' noodle dishes

Pho Soho

Food and service was great but the atmosphere could be better. I ate the vegetarian spring rolls with a lovely peanut sauce. The rolls were delicious and crispy; great side dish. For a main I had the hot and spicy chicken noodle soup with Pho (flat) noodles. Very delicious and very filling. Could do with being hotter but at least you can add extra chillis to it if you wish. Service was friendly and attentive.

Regarding the atmosphere; it was very dark which made it hard to see the menus and was quite cramped. Toilets were also not very tidy/clean.

Overall though a positive experience.

My wife and I went to Pho Soho tonight. It was a great experience. The staff were all very nice. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was laid back. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everyone was very welcoming. Highly recommended.

My first time trying Pho In Soho London and I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised!!!
Their meat combo pho was 10/10 for me with the meatball and the beef brisket as usual with the addition of extra fish and sriracha sauce!!!
But for me the star of the show was the starter, betel beef! I have to say it’s one of the best thing I have tried so far in Pho so so so good!
Only downside in the restaurant seating itself, all the tables are way too close to each other.
All in all, I can’t wait to come back again!

I decided to give this place a try based on Google reviews, and I’m so glad I did. I absolutely loved the food, drinks, and atmosphere. I started with the veggie crispy spring rolls, which were perfectly crunchy and delicious. For the main course, I had the wok-fried noodles with chicken, along with a Phojito to drink—both were fantastic. The staff was very nice and friendly. I totally recommend this place!

Gluten-free and absolutely delicious food! No matter which city I’m in, this is my one and only favourite restaurant. We chose to celebrate our wedding anniversary here because it’s the only place I trust for gluten-free meals. Many thanks to the wonderful staff for making it special.

Our chicken is Halal and cooked separately from other meat. Our chicken broth however is not always Halal, so if you order a chicken soup please ask for veggie stock.

We visited Fatt Pundit 2 days after it opened, and boy, were we impressed! 👏🏽
From the food to the service, everything was lovely. Two of our favourite items were the flavourful Beef Strips and Soft Shell Crab (with battered sweetcorn? Who wouldv’e thought?! 🤤) which were both amazing. We also ordered the crispy Okra Fries, spicy Hakka Paneer and crunchy Chicken Lollipops. A special shoutout for the steaming hot Beef Momos... our first time trying Momos and it definitely won’t be our last! 👌🏽

@twopeasfoodies's review of Fatt Pundit Soho on Instagram

It was my birthday last week and that normally means going out for a slap up meal somewhere nice. I've been fortunate enough to eat at many places in London that I kind of ran out place new places to go for a meal. I was close to going to sushi samba (a rare restaurant that I haven't been too) , but I ate a massive amount of sushi a few days earlier and was not feeling sushi again, plus it was a pretty crapy day outside weather wise so I decided to try something else. It was my first meal in Central London in 2020!

.

I was in the mood for good food rather than something fancy, so I decided on a favourite of mine @fattpundit. It had been 2 years since my last visit so thought it would a good time to go, plus it was the last day of their extended eat out help out offer

.

The food didn't disappoint, it was all brilliant. One of my all time favourite dishes is actually a vegetarian dish, yes, that's right a vegetarian dish called Cracking Spinach so good I ordered 2 of them. Its basically a chaat, but with deep fried spinach and sweet sauce, simple but delicious. You have to try it

.

I also got a portion of their legendary double cut French trimmed lamb chops. So so good. Also got pop corn cauliflower which I loved. Yep, another vegetarian dish and the chilli Panner. Also tried the rive eye dry chilli, which was also great

.

Total bill was under £60 Inc service and drinks, we got a £20 discount for eotho. The Wife paid! Ask for the halal menu, almost everything is halal. Just a few items that are not.

@halalfoodguy's review of Fatt Pundit Soho on Instagram

Fatt Pundit

Thank gosh we were in the back because it can be a bit noisy and cramped.
Food was good & I would eat here again. The reviews of 5 stars is over the top though.

The good
Momos and dips were tasty, I had the beef & my friend the lamb. The crispy spinach is rightfully delicious as others have commented. Quite sweet but a must.

Mains were hit & miss:
- Szechuan rice was ok. Not spicy.
- monkfish was nice
- chilli duck was ok but wouldn’t get again. Instead I’d get
- shredded chilli venison, which was delicious, especially with the bread

All in all, it’s a nice food place but not wow. Service is very attentive and friendly.

Not so good
Wine left a lot to be desired, would avoid.

had an absolutely lovely dinner with my friends here! clayton, our server, was amazing at handling our large group (15!) and making everything so smooth from start to finish. the food was delicious — we ordered the set menu. it was portioned well; i was so full and didn’t even realise until dessert appeared. only thing is that it’s a bit spenny but it was still a good night. would recommend!

We went there for dinner on a Friday. We were warmly greeted by Mervin, who took great care of us the whole evening.

For the two of us, we ordered the Goat Momos, Crackling Spinach, Monkfish curry, Chilli Duck, Venison, Big Bread, and Rice. This might sound like a lot, and even Mervin said it was, but was just right --- the portions are not big, and we are not huge eaters. As you can imaging, the price was a bit too high for what it was.

The food in general was good. The Big Bread had a strong taste of bicarb though. The Venison comes with just a small bao bun, not proportional at all to the amound of venison.

Our favorite dishes were the Spinach, crispy and tasty, as well as the Monkfish curry. The sauce on the curry was great. However, the piece of monkfish it comes with is tiny.

Service was, as mentioned, great. Mervin was very attentive, and the food came fast, a bit too fast. They kept piling plates on our table when had barely a chance to finish what was there already.

All in all, I'm happy we went there, but I don't see myself going there again.

Delicious Chinese Indian fusion food. Two of us walked in on Saturday at 6pm with no reservation, and we loved everything we ordered.
Crackling spinach was so unique, the okra was probably the best I’ve ever had (amazing garlic flavor too), the chicken momos had a great flavor and texture, and the lamb chops were cooked perfectly with an interesting spice rub. Would definitely come back!

This is a mostly walking street, not sure if there is any parking available. There is a bar you can eat at, the restaurant is very cozy and I would probably not go bigger than a group of 6. Food came out just minutes after we ordered it, so we were in and out within an hour.

Celebrated my husbands birthday and Mervin was a great host throughout our lunch! He recommended some great dishes: crackling spinach and Kolkata chili duck. The sizzling brownie was delicious! Highly recommend this place and thank you Mervin!

A lot of our dishes are Halal including chicken, beef and lamb which are prepared and cooked separately. Alcohol is served.

Six by Nico London

My wife and I visited Six by Nico for the first time at lunchtime to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were hugely impressed.

The theme was San Sebastián for the 6 course lunch. We opted for the wine pairing and the food/wine combinations were excellent.

We had 6 courses with 3 vegetarian courses followed by Coal Fish and the. Pork Belly finished off with a Basque cheesecake.

The food was sensational as was the service. Each course was exquisitely put together and absolutely delicious.
The portions are sized correctly so that after 6 courses we were full but not overly.

The service was excellent. It was the first day for our waitress but she was very knowledgeable about both each dish but also
every wine and why they worked well together.

This is a must visit restaurant (we visited Six by Nico on Charlotte Street) and was so impressed that we are visiting again next week for their New York themed menu.

San Sebastian is one of our favourite places to travel too so seeing this experience pop up, it was a given.

The food was excellent, full of flavour and the presentation was fantastic. The croquettes were the star of the show for us. They were a great size, punching flavours and both crunchy on the outside but gloriously soft and delicate inside.

The only two points to say were... The fish course, the fish was a little dry and the cheesecake was more a creme brulee.

Each course was Nico's take on a speciality you can find there and it was a great menu, one to definitely try.

We booked the preview menu, so we got the 6 courses and a welcome drink for a bargain of £39 - amazing value!

Didn't know what to expect but it was excellent!  We had 10 course tasting menu, and although I thought we would struggle, we enjoyed every course and ate pretty much everything.  The staff were friendly and polite and we pretty much have a different person deliver each course and they explained what everything was.  We were there for over 3 hours which meant we had time for food to go down.  Considering it was £49 for 10 (small) courses i think in London, for the quality of the food, that was good value for money. Give it a try ...

Very good for work and team lunches. It operates with a regularly changing six course tasting menu (hence the name), with lots of related decoration etc.
We really enjoyed our six courses (Nutcracker - a Christmas themed menu), with paired wines and cocktails.
Service was good and quick, with all the courses explained to us ad they came to the table.

Very pleasant experience, some really excellent courses, wine pairing spot on. Tortilla a bit disappointing as it wasn't as per the social media and the potato a bit uncooked. However the next 5 course were excellent. Kamille our waiter really looked after us and explained in details each course and the wine pairing too. Tomason was great at front of house, a great welcome and goodbye. The chefs were smiling as i did a video of the kitchen part. Shame I didn't get their names. I came a couple of months ago with some friends and also met Oliver one of the chefs, he was fab. 4 star for ambience as it was really busy so the music that was played was really unnecessary and didn't add anything to the dining room. You could do with some new tables also as they are a bit tired. But a great afternoon thank you all. Some of these dishes did remind me of some of the pinxos that you can get in the historic part of San Sebastian. It's a really well thought out menu

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.

Honest Burgers Warren St

It was an amazing burger!! We saw the restaurant as we walked by and decided to turn around and have a burger. And wow what a burger. My daughter demolished her burger quicker than me, that's a sign of a decent burger. The taste is very fresh!! Perfect amount of Sauces and other ingredients in the burger. The rosemary salted fries are so different but it works fantastic. Next time in London we will return! I hate to say this but my only moan is £3.20 for a can of diet/ zero Coke. And the BBQ sauce with the tenders is more of a spicy sauce than a BBQ also the tenders are southern fried so slightly spicy too. Other than that it was a perfect visit with friendly welcoming staff, fantastic team! Well done guys

The single smash burger here hits all the right notes. The patty comes seared very nicely, with that satisfying edge of caramelised beef flavour and just enough bite. Paired with their rosemary fries (very fragrant) - it’s a good combo. Only negative is that I asked for hot sauce and they said that costs £1.50. Ketchup and mayo are free but they want to make more money on a small bit of hot sauce is kind of silly.

The BEST meal after a long travel day - it was heavenly to have a decent burger again! I went for a single smash burger and it did not disappoint. Delicious flavours and it was hard to believe the bun was gluten free! The chips were perfectly seasoned and crispy. 10/10, wish I could go back!

I love this Honest burgers location! The burgers and chips are delicious and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Usually there is no wait to be seated and the food comes out pretty quick too. I got the double smashed and loved it! Their lemonade and rosemary chips are lovely too. They have a rotating burger special and also offer student discount with StudentBeans app.

I wouldn't go anywhere else in London for a burger other than Honest. They check all the boxes. Along with a delicious burger, even the sides live upto the standard. Also, the coleslaw portion is huge, so I would recommend sharing it between 2 people.

RAI Restaurant London

We visited RAI for a 13-course omakase lunch to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience. The staff were extremely accommodating from start to finish, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was very good, and watching the chef prepare each piece of nigiri right behind the counter was a real highlight — a wonderful blend of craftsmanship and presentation.

The ambience of the restaurant is refined and intimate, adding to the overall enjoyment. However, the bar seating area felt a bit crowded, and having staff reach between diners to clear plates at times was slightly awkward. A little more spacing between seats would definitely improve the comfort. Additionally, while the Wagyu beef was delicious, it was pricey for the portion size. £45 for 3 pieces of Wagyu, poor value. I would avoid the À la carte bolt ons and just stick with the omakase set.

Overall, RAI offers a delightful omakase experience with excellent service, quality dishes, and a beautiful atmosphere — just with a few seating layout improvements that could make it even more enjoyable.

We had the counter-seating 11-course omakase, and each course showcased a range of flavours. We also added Kobe beef to share, priced at £65 for 100 grams. Unfortunately, the beef wasn’t particularly impressive and didn’t complement the meal well, as it was served right at the end after a series of delicate seafood courses. The 11-course omakase alone is already filling, and I wouldn’t recommend the add-ons.

My rating is based on comparisons with several omakase experiences I’ve had in Japan, and the experience at RAI fell short and at times felt awkward. The pacing was quite fast, leaving little time to savour each course, though I may simply be a slower eater. The server frequently reached between diners to clear plates, which was uncomfortable given the already tight counter seating. You constantly had to move to avoid the server’s elbow being close to your face. In most omakase settings, plates are usually collected from the counter instead to avoid this issue.

The main reason for my rating, however, is the misleading presentation of the “11-course” meal. It did not appear to be 11 courses. A very small bowl of miso soup was counted as a course, even though it was served alongside another item as a complimentary side. Even including the miso soup, the total still came to 10 courses. I politely asked about this and received a vague explanation that the side of miso soup was considered part of the 11-course offering. Maybe the bizarre shot of the chef’s rice wine at the end is counted as a course also?

Our dining experience was truly exceptional—an easy 10/10. The staff and chefs struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. The food was of outstanding quality and honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. Absolutely worth every penny.

Went here for my wife’s birthday and it was amazing. The food was excellent and the experience felt really special. Only small downside was the staff being a bit pushy with recommendations - it would be nicer to let guests relax and enjoy it at their own pace.

I visited Rai for my birthday lunch as a solo diner and chose the 13-course Omakase. It was an incredible, intimate experience where the chef’s expertise really shone - each dish was beautifully crafted, and watching the skill and precision behind them made it even more special. The fish was unbelievably fresh and melted in my mouth; every course felt like a new favourite. Standouts for me were the butterfish, eel with grated black truffle, spicy scallop, and the black cod main.

The service was exceptional - attentive, friendly, and made me feel very welcome dining alone. A lovely surprise was a complimentary glass of champagne and a birthday dessert with a candle, which made the whole experience extra memorable.

Rai truly delivered a 5-star dining experience and made my birthday feel very special. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy a refined and beautifully thought-out omakase in London.

Macellaio Fitzrovia

I love the food in London, and this was maybe one of my best meals ever!  Didn’t do any research, but I spent the day working at the nearby law school and only had a quick lunch break.  This was nearby, and looked cute from the outside and it was even cuter on the inside!  The lunch specials were generous portions and the pasta was amazing! So authentic, I could really go for their pesto right now!!

The highlight of the meal was definitely the lard on toast, its almost like prosciutto but so luxurious and fatty and just melts in your mouth without being sickly, paired with honey and some nuts it’s just a wonderful starter. The steak however was slightly disappointing, the cooking of the steak seems over around the outside and under in the inside but regardless it was generally tender. But the flavour is a bit bland and I didn’t like the excess olive oil drizzled over it. The Mac and cheese was also great. I’d say it’s a bit on the pricey side for the quality of the steak.

Good environment and simple yet unique style. Food was good, really liked the enthusiasm of the waiter who served us. We were also brought a small starter (bread and cured meat slices) free of charge, really appreciated it. Would definitely go there again

I had an amazing dinner! Italian platter of mixed salumi and ham with home made bread. Ravioli filled with mince meat and as I like spicy requested the chef to add some chili to my plate. To end I had a beef tenderloin. Everything was delicious. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

First 100% recommendation.

Tried it on a business trip. I was positive surprised by the quality of the food. The beef tongue was very tender and prepared very delicious. The pizza didn't stand behind the started in any regard. Very tasty - keep up the quality.

Tip for the future:
Warm your pizza plates.

Why not five stars:
Stuff was extremely friendly but also kind of unorganized and a sometimes not focused. The restaurant was not crowded when I was there but the waiter had to confirm my order 2 min after taking it. They didn't know when I was ordering that the wine I selected was out of stock. Tiny things but still not too much to expect from a service with such excellent food.

We all already knew that the chicken burgers from @coqfighteruk BANG 🤤 A few weeks ago however, we happened to stumble across @manna_ldn in @arcadefoodhall by Tottenham Court Rd📍

Obviously حلال before you ask… and yes this still happens! 🙃 We ordered the “Single Manna Platter” each, which consisted of the hot smash burger (wowww) 🔥🔥🔥, a juicy chicken tender, crispy waffle fries with some unreal seasoning & a really good jalapeño dip 🌶 

I believe you can also catch a pop up of Manna at @batterseapwrstn at the moment 🤩

@halalfoodbae's review of Manna Soho on Instagram

Manna

Arrived at the food hall just as it was opening up so it was very quiet and empty. Was recommended to try Manna by a friend so wanted to check it out. Ordered using the QR code on the table which includes an added 12.5% service charge to your bill. Phone reception wasn’t great so needed to join the WiFi in order to place my order.

I went for the double Manna burger which had 2 smash patties, onions, pickles and manna sauce. Really enjoyed the flavours from this burger. The sauce had a sweet and slightly spicy taste to it that went really well with the onions. A really good burger that is worth trying!

Delicious smash beef burgers, loved the additions and good quality beef patties. If you like meaty burgers then go for the double. The waffle chips served hot and crispy 😋 it is located inside a very nice food court, you don't need to queu to order someone would take you to a table and you place your order through an app and they bring it to your table a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.

I can’t seem to understand the low reviews! I loved the burger, tasted great. It reminded me of a gourmet Big Mac. I’d definitely add another patty to it next time.

I ordered the platter, came with a tender, waffle fries and dips. Total was £16. I would say it’s on the pricier side and didn’t include drinks but I guess that’s standard for these days.

My food arrived quickly, can’t complain about anything else! I’d definitely go back.

Manna located in the centre point foodhall has a great atmosphere, loud but pleasant, with plenty of seating options around. The food was good but the burger was let down by a weak sauce that dragged the otherwise crispy smash burger down a few levels. The Nashville tenders and fries were all great though, but the jalapeño dip was rather bland. Overall for £20 it’s a sizeable portion of food that’s solid throughout but missing an edge to make it a great experience

Amazing burger one of the best i have ever tried.
it melts in the mouth 10/10
The fries was crispy
Nashville chicken was ok little dry
The music was soooo loud you could hear the person next to u. Hope they lower the music to enjoy the place

Inspired by Korea's chicken-and-beer “chimaek” joints

Can't get your fix of KFC? Then you can try some Korean Fried Chicken from @sojuandco who serve halal chicken. .

We orderd the garlic and soy half chicken which comes in 9 peices.  I didn't find the chicken very flavoursome, I couldn't taste the garlic or soy. The chicken was crispy, but not that juicy or tender. .

We also got some a seafood pan cake and a Tteokboki, which were really different but really good. Definitely better than that chicken. .
.

I wouldn't really come back, as there was a smell of pork being cooked as this is a Korean BBQ. The fried chicken is cooked separately from the BBQ pork. You can check their instagram page for a picture of the halal chicken box/supplier. .

@halalfoodguy's review of WingWing Bloomsbury on Instagram

WingWing Krispy Chicken

It was good for a quick snack while I was waiting for my friend near UCL. However, it tasted a bit too sweet compared to Korean-style chicken in Seoul.

Great spot for students, they do a discount everyday, and a lot of seats.

I got 6 wings for 6.5£, mixed hot and soy garlic— wings were really tasty and a really good balance between the flavours, though they were on the smaller side.

I have to mention that the order took 15+ mins to come out but understandably as they are short staffed and managing deliveroo.

Really great service the guy gave me 3 wings free because they initially forgot my hot wings.

Overall, it’s real close to me so will be coming back!

This is easily the best chicken I’ve had in London. People always say Britain has bad food, well this place is the exception. Order the Katsu Curry you will not be disappointed. The chicken is served fresh (not frozen)! Bruh change your life. Upgrade your pallet.

The food was okay but there are definitely better chicken shops in London with MUCH better service. The person who was serving us was super rude and irritated. He was okay while serving me but when he was serving my girl friend (she was thinking for a bit longer because it was her first time) he kept rushing her in a rude manner, then when she finally picked, he kept repeating "you're done? you're done?!" then when she wanted to add prawns he put them in the computer and when she continued looking at the menu to choose a drink he removed the prawns from the order and said " i guess you're not getting prawns"- again in an even more aggresive manner, as we are two young girls we got scared and we just agreed, so she ended up with just three pieces of chicken, no drink. If i hadn't payed already,  we would have definitely left because his behavior was absolutely unacceptable ! We were excited to try the food but after this horrible experience our appetites were completely gone. Sad to see that this company which advertises itself as SO friendly and nice to everyone, hires someone who TOTALLY lacks decency and empathy!  The worst way to spend money and time. This is not the first time someone complained about the service, so please do something about it because youre constantly loosing customers due to a guy who hates his job. Disappointing. Will definitely tell everyone I know not. to. come.

Halal restaurant!

Sedap yeee! Very delish, and Imma sayyy it, its better than Wingstop in UK. More crispy, and juicy chicken meat. They really served hot, and freshly off the grill so yeappp I am really digging it and would suggest everyone to go here.

WingWing

Philadelphia inspired restaurant serving mean chicken wings

Passyunk Avenue (Fitzrovia)

Being from Philly and living in EU, we love to come here for a little taste of home. We brought friends last weekend and everything was great.
They make their own WIZ and the Yunkling beer is great. Our friends’ first time having a real cheesesteak and they all loved it and would recommend to their friends. Always ready to come back to London for this place. Thanks so much!

Friendly atmosphere, has that american feel, felt warm and inviting. Food was tasty and fresh. Had food as takeaway... did not spend too long in there but thumbs up.

The WIZ cheese sauce was absolutely amazing and went with the tortilla chips really well. The beer was lovely and smooth and the vodka cranberry was nice and sweet. The bread was so soft and delicious and complimented the meat and cheese so well

Great atmosphere, the food was amazing and great service as well. This place has been on my bucket list for such a long time and I’m glad I finally have a chance to swing by.
My girlfriend, who’s American, said the food is as good as, if not better, than the ones she had back in the States! It’s so cool to have some authentic American food in London and would definitely come back to try the wings another time.

First visit, a bustling American themed bar.
Loved the music, drink selection & friendly bar service

We serve Halal. Certificate available behind the counter.

Uyghur classics including da pan ji, tugur, and hand-pulled noodles

Turpan Uyghur restaurant

It's a clean and cute restaurant run by a family. I like the carrot salad which is quite salty and flavored. The lamb rice is good, not too oily, and it has raisins and carrots inside which makes it very healthy. The diced noodles is amazing, the bell peppers are tasty in this dish, and the noodles are very soft. The lamb skewers are a bit chewy but the spice is perfect. The milk tea is not too salty. If you eat rice pudding first, then have the milk tea, it tastes even better. I recommend this restaurant and I would like to come back here in the future.

Went to this Uyghur place by the British Museum today, really happy with the meal.
I had the samsa (baked buns) and the polu (rice with lamb). The samsa had a nice crispy outside and juicy, well-spiced lamb inside. The polu was hearty – tender lamb with sweet carrots and raisins mixed into the rice. Simple, tasty, and filling.
The owner was friendly, and at the end, offered me a small dessert on the house. It was a light, yoghurt-based pudding, a really nice way to finish.
It’s a solid, genuine place with good food and kind service. If you’re in the area and want something different, I’d definitely recommend it. Will probably go back to try their laghman.

All meat served here is halal. No pork or alcohol present.
