Had this place saved on google maps to try and I finally did and I’m glad to say the food was tasty, filling, flavourful and had reasonable pricing too.

Was craving a hearty rice dish when we stumbled upon this place. Loved the food. The kung pao chicken was crispy and spicy. Rasheeda was the only one serving us during a Sunday evening. Props to her for her wonderful service and food!

We wanted something Asian and hot. This place looks good and walked in. Generous portion so good for the hungry. 😊 tastes authentically Asian too. Love that the food is cooked when ordered. A bit of a wait but it is freshly cooked. ❤️

I really recommend coming here to eat! The service was good and the food was amazing! I had the stir fried chicken chow mein and my sister had the tofu steak bento, and they were both so good!

Amazing food. I love the Spicy Beef Ramen Soup (I got extra chilli to make it more spicy 😋), Chicken Chow Mein and Drago Rolls. They also have tasty Japanese Ramune drinks too. Overall 5/5 😁

BoB Burgers | Shoreditch

Great burgers. It's in LaLaLand which is only partially open at lunchtime through the winter. Staff are really friends. The cheeseburger is excellent, the spicy fries are tasty and the Szechuan pepper on them is lip numbing.

Incredible burger and the Szechuan fries are insane. Double up on the burger and make sure to get the honey chilli sauce for the best experience. We’ll be back again (and again, and again)

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had!! Amazing quality ingredients, super tasty and a great spot to hang out!! Love the branding too!

This is one hell of a burger! If you are on your search for honestly one of the best burgers in London, then look no further!! The best quality meat that you can find on the market today, paired with some amazing grilled AND pickled onions, american cheese and house made burger sauce what more could you ask for?! Will be back again very soon

More a 4.5... Really good juicy burger. The meat itself was a little on the bland side for my taste and could have maybe used a slightly larger bun for the filling that kept pouring out.
Got on £5 burger Thursday deal in January and so was excellent value. Though £14 for a double without chips is just a little too pricy.
Still that's becoming the top end of standard now so if you don't mind that, then you could do far far worse than going here for a bite.

Huong viet

Huong Viet in Shoreditch is a gem for anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese food that is fully halal. I recently visited for dinner and was impressed from start to finish. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming feel, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Staff were friendly, happy to explain dishes, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. A big shout-out to Agnieszka, who took care of us.

We ordered a wide selection of dishes to share, and every plate that arrived at the table was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. To start, the Wrapped Grilled Beef was a highlight. The beef was tender, perfectly marinated, and wrapped in a way that made it easy to enjoy without losing the flavors. The Hoi An Pancake came out crisp and golden, with a generous filling that paired nicely with the dipping sauce. This dish stood out for its texture, with a light crunch giving way to a soft and tasty inside.

The Salt and Pepper Prawns were another standout starter. Cooked just right, they had a satisfying bite with a balance of spice and seasoning that made them addictive. The Crispy Combo Platter was ideal for sharing, offering a mix of items that gave us the chance to try different flavors and textures in one dish. This is a good option if you are visiting for the first time and want to sample a variety of what the restaurant has to offer.

For mains, we went for the Chicken Nutty Curry, which was rich, creamy, and aromatic. The sauce was thick and flavorful, making it perfect to eat with the accompanying Steamed Rice. The curry had just the right amount of spice, keeping it balanced without overwhelming the other flavors. The Singapore Noodles were also delicious, with a generous portion size and well-balanced seasoning. The noodles had that slight smoky flavor that comes from a hot wok, which added depth to the dish.

To drink, we tried the refreshing mocktails such as Passion Kiss and Pretty Lychee, both refreshing and not overly sweet. They were a nice complement to the savory dishes and offered a change from the usual soft drinks.

To finish, we had the Mango Sago, which was the perfect dessert after a filling meal. It was light, creamy, and refreshing, with a natural sweetness from the mango that didn’t feel heavy. It left us satisfied without being too much.

Overall, the dining experience at Huong Viet was excellent. The food was authentic, fresh, and clearly made with care. The fact that the restaurant is fully halal makes it a fantastic option for groups and families who want to enjoy Vietnamese cuisine together. The service charge was fair considering the attentive service, and the overall bill reflected the quality and quantity of what we ordered.

I would highly recommend Huong Viet to anyone looking for Vietnamese food in Shoreditch. It’s a place worth visiting, whether you’re after a casual meal or a special night out.

Highly recommend!!
Everything we ate was so delicious!
The service was very good as well.
We just visited Vietnam and the food in this restaurant was even better from the origin

Tried this pho spot today and really enjoyed it. The broth was full of flavour, with generous meat and side options.
They offered a wide range of dishes and their beef and chicken is halal as well, if that’s something you look out for! I recommend the pho and the pancake! The service and staff were great. Will definitely be coming back!

My friend and I were very hungry and walked by and were captivated by the smell. Our servers Philip and Liam were very helpful in assisting us as we didn’t know what to eat. Food was good, and the servers made it much better 🙂

Friendly service, authentic tasting food. Prices are a bit steep, especially since I got charged 5 pounds for an extra fried egg. Other than that great Banh mi!

We have Halal options available. Ask a member of staff for details.

Eggslut Shoreditch

I happened to visit this place after reading a lot of positive reviews and I must admit they didn't prove those reviews wrong. I was immensely impressed with the quality of dishes they serve out to customers. Richmond was the waiter and he was super sweet, quick and passionate. The ambience is also well close to a cozy morning breakfast café. The dishes I ordered were the sausage egg and cheese sandwich with added bacon and the egg salad sandwich. Both these dishes slammed the ball out of the park. The quality of the brioche buns, the way they cooked and seasoned the eggs along with the meat is absolutely worth savouring. A bit expensive but the flavour of the plated dishes spoke louder. Nonetheless, if they increase their prices more than their prevailing prices, it will be an event of jeopardy. In a gist, I would definitely visit them quite often as I'm an egg lover and this place, if maintains it's standard, pricing and quality of cooking and serving good egg sandwiches, is a paradise for egg lovers.

One of the best places I’ve eaten in London.
Small but clean, food is delicious, very kind people behind the counter. I’m vegetarian and I had no problem.
I would definitely recommend it, maybe not for vegans.

Genuinely one of the best eating experiences I’ve had. The chicken sando was on another level, SO juicy and SO crispy, 10/10. Don’t even get me started on the French toast sticks… soft, buttery brioche on the inside, slight crisp on the outside. All hits, no misses! Shoutout to Richmond for his impeccable service too

Delicious breakfast rolls and the French toast sticks are something else! Get the BEC and add a turkey sausage. Great service too from very friendly staff.

Eggslut Shoreditch never disappoints. Their Fairfax sandwich is creamy, flavourful, and perfectly balanced paired with the indulgent truffle hashbrowns,

it’s a brilliant combo. The team is super friendly, service is quick, and everything’s cooked fresh to order just what you want in a casual breakfast spot.

Cozy, buzzing atmosphere just a heads-up, seating is limited. Still, totally worth it!

Our beef bacon, wagyu beef and turkey sausage are halal available at all stores!

@londonfoodee's review of Honest Burgers Spitalfields on Instagram

Honest Burgers Spitalfields

The place, part of a well-known chain, suffers from its rather small size and, coupled with company that wasn’t exactly chatty, made the experience fall short of expectations. My sandwich was overly seasoned and salty. On the other hand, the burger — ordered medium — wasn’t as juicy or tasty as usual. Am I wrong, or have the portions got smaller?

Excellent. The staff was very helpful with my needs. Being gluten-free and vegan with multiple allergies makes it difficult to find a burger, but I finally managed to enjoy a good burger at this honest burger branch. They even went out of their way to show me the burger bun label, which most restaurants fail to do.

I’m not usually a huge burger lover.. but this was actually REALLY good! I had the chicken pesto burger and it was delicious. My husband also loved his beef burger and our friend loved the vegetarian option. Definitely a new favorite burger place in London - we even ended up going to one of the locations twice on our trip!

The only negative is that it gets quite loud in there, so in the end we were practically yelling to each other at the table.

But the food was great and we had the sweetest server :)

Really enjoyed my visit to Honest Burgers – Spitalfields (12 Widegate St, London E1 7HP). The Buffalo chicken burger was tasty, and the free onion rings from the app were a nice touch. Jack was great—friendly and attentive. Glad to know their chicken is halal. Will come again.

Nice place, nice stuff, but the food was sooo disappointing. Too much salt on fries, onion rings soaking in oil, chicken in the burger covered in golden chicken spice and halloumi that had no taste at all. We will not come back

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.

Truffle Burger | Liverpool Street

Friendly service but the Truffle burger is a bit of a miss. The bacon is ground with the beef, which makes the patty appear pink and the concept didn’t 100% work. Unless you’re a fan of Truffle oil, i would personally avoid the truffle chips and get the regular ones.

Small place, original, young, a typical burger heaven. Very friendly staff. The truffle burger was perfectly cooked, and had the ultimate quantity of truffle, especially for an ingredient that can quickly become overwhelming. Fries with truffle cheese were very delicious. I definitely recommend it here.

The burgers here are absolutely delightful! I went the first time on the day they opened and they were giving away free burgers. I paid £9.50 for the burger the second time. Tastes significantly better than the nearby Five Guys. I feel bad for the restaurant because, as a new establishment, they haven't been able to attract a large number of customers. Come on in and give it a try! Burgers are tasty; however, they are a little pricey.

Truffle Burger | Liverpool Street easily in my top 3 best burgers of all time. The guys were amazing and friendly. Chef cooked the burgers perfectly, not overcooked. Chicken burgers can be easily dry but, they cooked it beautiful. Never had such a crispy, and still juicy on the inside, chicken burger. Definitely got to get the truffle + parmesan fries. Also, DOUBLE-UP! I keep forgetting you can when I go there. Haha!

Amazing burgers! We went there for lunch and the staff was so nice, the burgers were great, the price was good. Everything is freshly made and you can see as they put your burger together. The truffle is not overwhelming, which is perfect.

Our chicken and beef is Halal. The beef is cooked on the same grill as the bacon. The chicken is cooked separately.

Authentic, traditional street food of India

Indi-go Rasoi Old Spitalfields Market

This Indian eatery missed the mark on several points. A friendly staff member took the initial order, then a manager stepped in – both provided good service. The issue began when I was offered a bag and said yes, without being told it would cost 50p for a flimsy paper bag that isn’t reusable.

The food was disappointing. The butter chicken was tough and dry, the potatoes undercooked. Only the rice and green beans were worth eating.

The layout is pleasant, with plenty of seating, but that alone doesn’t make up for the poor food quality.

The food here is full of flavor and served fresh! The presentation was neat, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Loved the balance of spices — just the right kick without being overwhelming. Definitely a place I’d come back to for a cozy and tasty meal.

I cam from Belfast, I had breakfast here and came back for lunch too! price to quality and portion value is good! Masala chae was ON SPOT!!! Generous portions!

Absolutely appaulled! Bought a portion of chips for my little one which cost £4.50 for a portion that is just about a handful. Furthermore, the cashier took my card to tap on the card reader herself telling me she cannot extend the card reader out to me. Disappointed at the food portion and service. Definitely will not be back after the service.

First and foremost, I want to say how incredibly kind and welcoming the team is — it's truly a joy to be greeted with such bright smiles and positive energy! It makes all the difference. Secondly, the food was absolutely outstanding! Every bite was bursting with freshness and flavor, a real culinary delight. The portions were perfectly balanced, and let’s just say… I left a few envious friends behind who’ll definitely be joining me next time! Huge congratulations to the whole team — you’ve created something truly special! 😊

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

Indi-Go Rasoi

Baraka London

The food was delicious and tender. We enjoyed it and it was tasty and the waiters were very welcoming. The atmosphere of the place was fantastic with lovely outdoor setting.
My experience with Turkish restaurants is that the portions are large; this wasn’t as large.
Also, no bread was brought while awaiting the mains.

A lovely restaurant with even lovelier food and staff! The manager and waiters were all friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. We got the Goats Cheese with salad as a starter which was delicious, for our mains we got the Baraka Special and the Yogortlu Kofte which were both flavourful and perfectly cooked, and finished with a Baklava for dessert. The atmosphere was great - the perfect place for a business lunch or a quiet date. Looking forward to my next visit!

Pretty good Turkish food. The Centik special was a generous portion and had plenty of flavour. Probably more than I could eat. The tomato juice was quite watery.
Service was prompt and efficient. Both the quietest venue so it was hard to hear across a large table.

I highly recommended the chicken eskinder or whatever it’s called in the grills section. It was absolutely amazing with great outdoor seating, and a fantastic atmosphere, topped with delicious food provided by excellent customer service!!!

Although i assumed lemonade drink would be a fresh lemonade but it was actually just a bottle of sprite with a lemon slice - quite disappointing. Otherwise i would give 5 stars!! Either rename lemonade to sprite or get in a proper lemonade.

This restaurant is exquisitely furnished and decorated and the high expectations you have walking in here are definitely met, thanks to the kind service and the delicious food.

I was blown away by the amount of options on the menu, it was really hard to pick just one item.
I went for the Baraka Special and I was so pleased with how soft and juicy the lamb was. Flavours were bold but beautifully balanced.

I was a little surprised we never got asked how our meal was, but it wasn't necessary as both myself and my friend were very satisfied.

I can't wait to go back and try something else!

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

Galvin La Chapelle

I came here for dinner by myself.

Overall, this place has a Bailie, unique and magical ambience. The interior of an old chapel is one of the more unique and charming Settings for a restaurant that I have ever seen.

I will say that my expectations were very high, as a place has Michelin  star. Overall, the Service was very good, but not extraordinary. The food was excellent, but again – I was not as impressed with the food as I would have expected – I feel the food that I got at sketch. Two nights ago was much more, outstanding, and culinary. Perfect and unique.

Overall, I would be unlikely to return at the Price point, but it is a quality restaurant, and I do feel that it is deserving of it status.

Loved my experience here for a romantic date. The place itself is truly a vibe, I was mesmerised by the sheer size of the architecture. Our server was amazing and so attentive. We went for the tasting menu and it was so decadent and perde for the start of autumn. We loved everything but the desserts, they weren’t particularly outstanding.

We had a birthday Sunday lunch here. The appetizer was exceptional, and we especially enjoyed the seabass. The sourdough with lemon and pepper butter was also delicious.

However, the main dishes were just fair. They were tasty, but we expected more from a Michelin restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised when the restaurant offered us a birthday dessert. Lovely!

I can only recommend it. Went there for lunch and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The food was amazing (I should add that they will give you free bread and butter which are delicious) , the service outstanding. Worth every penny Will definitely go again.

We had dinner at Galvin La Chapelle and it was excellent. For a Michelin Star, the price for the summer special was very affordable. The dishes were all excellent. If you are starving, it might not have been quite enough food but it was all very tasty for a great price.

The service was also excellent here - warm and inviting.

Halal chicken can be preordered. Pork and alcohol present.

Yum Bun - Spitalfields Market

I can especially recommend the buns with pork….on a Saturday I waited for some minutes but it was worth…I recommend the “Yum Bun”

Bao bun was nice and fluffy filling had little to no flavour. £8 for a bun and can is too expensive

Menu consists of prawn, chicken or tofu buns. Side orders compliment ie chips. Decent size portion. Variety of sauces. Absolutely delicious. Plenty of tables both standing and seating available if not peak time, though tables need cleaning. All made fresh in the spot as ordered. Hygiene was lacking in both seating areas and the open kitchen possibly due to the volume of customers.

Their menu is mostly bao buns, they offer bun box for £12 which comes with 2 baos, 2 gyozas and seasonal slaw.  You can pick from 4 different flavours, my favourite was fried chicken and crispy tofu but the katsu prawn and pork belly were good too.

📍Location: Old Spitalfields Market
🚇Closest station: Liverpool Street
💰Price: one bun £5.5, two buns £10, bun box £12 (2 buns, 2 gyozas, slaw)
🤗Recommendation: I liked the most fried chicken and crispy aromatic tofu

I was staying nearby for work and easily at Yum Bun 3 times in 2 weeks. I seriously could not enough of these delicious buns! There is almost always a line, but they are well worth the wait. My favorite bun was the Korean chicken, it was perfectly fried but still juicy. The lunch special was plenty of food at a good price. Would highly recommend Yum Bun for a quick, and yummy lunch!

Circle & Slice

We tried the diavola pizza. It was freshly made and tasted amazing. The staff were efficient and really friendly. They also had plenty of savoury and sweet options. Would definitely go back for breakfast and brunch. All items on the menu are halal.

What a cracking wee place. The decor inside is not what you expect from the outside. Loved the colours, the lights, the books... Decent menu with reasonable prices. Half chicken was tasty, as we're the chips. Burger was good, if you don't like a touch of pink in your burger then this place isn't for you. Staff friendly.
Only negative only 1 toilet for a fair few seats.

Loved the food at Circle I Slice!  Fresh, tasty, and beautifully served — especially the crispy potatoes and juicy veggies. Perfect brunch spot!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really great spot!
Fresh, ready-cut pizza slices that taste amazing — perfect for takeaway. I had a dirty chai latte from the café menu and it was excellent. The selection of baked goods is impressive, and everything looks (and tastes) top quality.
Great quality all around 💯
Also, everything is ‎حلال — which is a big plus!

Sephora was very helpful 👍🏼

A good, reliable wrap might hint at more exciting offerings on the menu. Sometimes, starting with something simple is a good way to test the waters before trying other dishes.
Overall not bad.

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

Anokha London

I had a great experience at Anokha London. The design and décor are really impressive — stylish, modern, and with a posh atmosphere that makes it feel special. The food was very good, especially the lamb chops, which were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. For dessert, I tried the pistachio cheesecake with vanilla ice cream, and it was absolutely lovely — rich, creamy, and a perfect ending to the meal. Drinks were nicely made, and the staff were attentive and welcoming throughout the evening. Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience.

I had a wonderful experience at Anokha Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The highlight for me was the pistachio cake paired with vanilla ice cream — such a delightful combination and the perfect way to end the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service made everything even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a memorable dining experience!

At Anokha Indiano, I was greeted with great hospitality by Munn, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. The food is outstanding, with perfectly balanced spices and dishes prepared with real care. A perfect blend of service, quality, and flavour, highly recommended for anyone who wishes to experience the very best of Indian cuisine.

Had such a lovely evening at Anokha. The atmosphere was really calm and welcoming, with beautiful decor and just the right level of lighting, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The food was genuinely amazing, we had chicken, prawns, squid, and duck, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavours were rich but balanced, and nothing felt too heavy. I also tried the raspberry and piña colada mocktails, both were refreshing and went so well with the meal. Service was great too, friendly, professional, and not overbearing. We finished with a dessert that was just the right amount of sweet to end the night on a high. Definitely a place I’ll be going back to!

Really impressed with Anokha. It has such a nice vibe, elegant but not too formal, and very comfortable. The staff were kind and attentive without hovering, which made the experience feel easy and enjoyable. We ordered a variety of dishes, chicken, prawns, squid, and duck, and honestly, every single one was delicious. Everything was packed with flavour and cooked just right. I also loved the raspberry and piña colada mocktails, super refreshing and nicely presented. Dessert was lovely too, a perfect finish to the meal. Overall, just a really good experience, great food, lovely staff, and a peaceful setting. Highly recommend!

Omnino Leadenhall

Great food. I really recommend the beetroot tartare starter - I’m not a beetroot person but it was exceptional. The rib eye main course was great too. The service was not the quickest but 2 courses in 90 minutes.
Nice atmosphere- you could have a discussion and hear everyone around the table.

I had a great experience at Omnino Steakhouse. The food was absolutely amazing,  the steak was juicy, tender, and full of flavour. You can really taste the high quality of the meat. Everything was cooked perfectly and served beautifully.

The service was just as good. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. They took the time to explain the menu and gave great recommendations.

it’s worth every penny for the quality you get. Also, Perfect for a special night out. I will definitely be coming back!

Simply delicious food, can’t say much more than that. We had the sausage platter, grilled octopus, ribeye and sirloin and all was top notch. The staff are also brilliant, we had a small medical emergency - not to do with the restaurant at all! - and they were amazing. Patient, understanding and just went out of their way to make sure once everything was resolved we still got to enjoy our evening. Can’t say thank you enough

We went for an early dinner this afternoon.  Was seated and served immediately. We ordered OMNINO SAMPLER
INCLUDE FILLET, RUMP, RIBEYE & SIRLOIN 1.2KG. Between my husband and I, we finished it all. It was delicious steaks. Good value! Will go back again.

Came for dinner, had the fillet and it was amazing. Asked for it medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. Also the service was excellent. Chris was very attentive and professional.

We do serve a selection of Picanha and it’s Halal. Please give us a minimum four days of notice if you require a Halal option. Unfortunately the rest of the steak is not.

@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Bari Bari Whitechapel on Instagram

Bari Bari

Just landed in London and was craving Korean BBQ - so glad I found Bari Bari Korean BBQ! If you love Korean BBQ, this place is a must-visit.

The food was delicious, fresh, and exactly what I needed after a long journey. The restaurant itself is very clean and well-kept, definitely feels like a 5-star experience. What stood out the most was the staff - they were so friendly, welcoming, and always smiling, which really made the meal even more enjoyable.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean BBQ in London. I’ll definitely be back!

This Korean restaurant seems quite popular — it was full of customers. Luckily, we were able to get a table as walk-in. We had seen many recommendations for the seafood pancake, but it was a bit disappointing as we didn’t find it particularly special. However, the soybean stew was truly delicious and definitely worth trying. The overall quality of the food was decent. Perhaps due to the large crowd, the wait time for food was a bit long. Still, it’s a Korean restaurant worth trying!

Food was alright. The steak bimbimbap is more like fried rice. Ordered the cold noodles because of the heatwave and the noodles came all stuck together. Lunches pancake was crispy, which is the bare minimum. Korean fried check was alright. The chicken itself had a strange aftertaste but the sauce was good. There are much better Korean places in London.

Service is pretty dismal even when it's quiet. It's a long restaurant and the staff seem to avoid venturing into the seating area unless they have to bring the food. Been here three because my non Asian friends seem to like it. Almost every time I've had to approach them to have my order taken, and they never check in on you. Getting tap water is like pulling teeth.

The food was delicious, the dimsum were especially lovely.  But there were some food on the menu that weren't available to order at late lunch time.  It's a small space  where private conversation is rather difficult.  But in general it's a nice place for a leisurely catching up lunch

I recently visited this Korean restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. One standout dish was the soybean stew-the broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, deeply savory, and perfect with rice. I really enjoyed it.

The bibimbap was also impressive, packed with a variety of fresh ingredients. Once mixed with the Korean chili paste, every bite was a delightful balance of textures and taste.

I also tried the army stew (budae jjigae). It was pretty good overall, with a generous mix of ingredients and a nice level of spiciness. However, I did find it a bit too sour for my liking.

For a side dish, I had the seafood pancake, which was a bit of a letdown. The batter was too thick, some of the edges were overly crispy, and overall it lacked the softness and flavor I’d expect from a traditional Korean version.

The service was quite good-despite how busy the restaurant was, the staff remained patient and attentive. That said, the food did take a while to arrive, but it was understandable given the crowd.

Overall, this restaurant is definitely worth recommending and I’d be happy to come back again.

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

The Sushi Bar Brick Lane

⸻

A Hidden Halal Gem Near Brick Lane – Fresh, Flavourful & Family-Friendly

We had a delightful experience at this sushi bar near Brick Lane. Every single item we ordered was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The crispy chicken bao buns were phenomenal, and the beef noodles were absolutely fantastic.

Service was quick — everything arrived within minutes, straight from the kitchen, piping hot and full of flavour. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with our toddler. All of the staff were super friendly and They kindly offered him multiple strawberries and mochi on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch.

This place is a true hidden halal gem, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We found this place last minute when we were browsing and it was such a lovely surprise!
Cozy and friendly environment.
Food very well presented, delicious and fresh.
It was the perfect quiet spot after a busy day.

Wonderful atmosphere and great service! We reserved just shortly before arriving for a group of 18 people and were met by a nicely arranged table setting and served really quickly. Was definitely a highlight of our trip!

Overall a bit disappointed 😢
I ordered the salmon donburi and prawn katsu, and honestly, both were pretty mid. The donburi didn’t have much salmon, and the sauce for the prawn katsu didn’t pair well, it didn’t taste great on its own either.

If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant, this probably isn’t a good option. Also, the table was kind of sticky, which didn’t help the experience.

"Sushi" might not be the first word that springs to mind when you think of Brick Lane, but tucked away in this vibrant corner of London lies a hidden gem. The Sushi Bar Brick Lane delivered an unforgettable experience, warm, welcoming staff, a buzzing yet cozy atmosphere, and food that was nothing short of exquisite. It was the perfect spot for our family to gather and share a delicious meal. Thank you, "The Sushi Bar Brick Lane!"

The Sushi Bar

Spotlit, contemporary dining room for Turkish mezze, char-grilled kebabs and casseroles.

Haz Turkish was recommended to us, and I am so glad we took the advice. We hit the jackpot almost immediately: Happy Hour with 2-for-1 cocktails! My experience began with the  Jack Sparrow drink — it was absolutely delicious and the perfect start to the evening.

Then the appetizers:  the Babaganoush was truly the star of the show. It was incredibly creamy, wonderfully smoky, and bursting with flavor — truly divine. We also enjoyed the fresh octopus and prawns, alongside a side savory potatoes...and the fresh bread is incredibly filling! We were almost too full to appreciate our meals when they arrived.

Despite our full stomachs, I was incredibly happy to finally enjoy a properly executed Chicken Tagine. The seasoning with the apricots, nuts, and prunes was spot on, and the chicken was tender.  Unfortunately, there was absolutely no room left for dessert.

Good service. Good food. Booked this restaurant for my wife birthday 🎂 had a great time. Love the interior. Staff were great. Very friendly. However, the price maybe a little too high for some. Other than that, we had a great time.

I was left stranded on a rainy Sunday evening by my accommodation host. I went to Haz with my luggage, looking for shelter. The team was so kind and welcoming. I spent three hours there while I searched for a new accommodation. I had a lot to eat, the highlights were the roasted beetroot and the baklava with vanilla ice cream.
I would like to thank the staff again for their warm welcome. They helped me through a difficult time.
Highly recommended.

Popped in for a drink and ordered a snack.  Nice bar area, didnt go into the restarant, cocktail was made well, snack was mediocre the one with goats cheese and spinach.  I would try the restaurant though as it wouldn't put me off trying it as the spicy sauce was delicious

Really nice place with seating upstairs and downstairs with a nice atmosphere. The food (chicken and lamb shish) is nice, but the price you pay for the portion you get is a bit absurd. The staff are extremely friendly.

Efes Restaurant (Whitechapel)

Amazing first visit!
This was my first time at Efes Restaurant (Whitechapel) and it was such an amazing experience. The customer service was the best I’ve experienced they were so welcoming and even brought a few complimentary dishes (bread, sauces, salad, and tea at the end) which was such a nice touch. We had a lovely small chat with the waitresses, which made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, with generous portions. I would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be coming back!

A recent, first time visit to this restaurant with family including our 11 year old grandaughter. The prices are reasonable and the staff were so friendly and accommodating to our varied, dietary needs. The food was so delicious, I am bringing some friends along for a social get together evening meal

One of my favorite Turkish restaurants in the area!
I’ve been here many times, and the quality is always outstanding. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic a great example of traditional Turkish cuisine done right. From the tender grilled meats to the perfectly seasoned sides, everything is prepared with great attention to detail.
The service is friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. It’s also a big plus that the restaurant stays open late, which makes it a convenient option for a delicious meal, even in the later hours.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality, authentic Turkish food.

We had a lovely night at Efes Whitechapel.
The food was grilled to perfection.. loved the shish and adana! Great flavours. The sides complement the meal, and it was great value for money. Service was excellent, the staff  really look after you 😊

Really, really good food and service. Lamb ribs, chicken wings and lamb doner were excellent. Charcoal grilled makes a huge difference, and we were very impressed. Highly recommend.

Efes

I am extremely disappointed with my recent visit to KFC experience was unacceptable from start to finish.
The restaurant was filthy. The seating area and floor were covered in spilled food, stains, and litter that staff made no effort to clean. It was unhygienic and off-putting to even sit down.
The chicken was served cold and tasted undercooked. It had a strong smell of palm oil, which was unpleasant and made it inedible.The fries were soggy, greasy, and clearly not fresh.
Overall, the food quality was far below the standard one would expect from KFC.
I did not feel comfortable eating the meal and left most of it uneaten. For a global brand like KFC, this level of poor hygiene, food safety concerns, and lack of quality control is shocking.

I recently visited the Whitechapel KFC and was disappointed with my order. The chips were unpeeled and soggy, and the popcorn chicken was not up to standard. This has happened twice now. I've visited many KFC locations and have never experienced such poor quality. It seems this location doesn't meet the usual KFC standards.

Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this location.

Very very disappointed by the food and service. It was not busy at all. But still they delivered order given after me before . The fillet was very very old and burnt. It was hard from the corners. Hash brown was hard like a rock. Buns were burnt. Anyone thinking to order from this branch should avoid. I don’t mind paying  £18 for two burgers but it was waste of money .

I was very disappointed with my experience. The tables were dirty when I arrived, and despite asking for them to be cleaned, they were not properly wiped — I could clearly see the same dirt still there. When I politely asked again, the staff insisted the tables were clean, but it was obvious they weren’t. I waited with my food in hand while they finally attempted to clean it, yet visible marks remained.
The floor was also messy, with bits of food scattered around. On top of that, the food itself was unpleasant — the chicken and chips were soggy, greasy, and tasted like old oil.
Overall, I was extremely unhappy and would not recommend this place. I will not be returning.

Food was tasty and met the standards of KFC. Presentation of my Mighty a bucket for One was all the chicken pieces and fries were thrown into one bag. My drink took time and the call out of my order was not determinable so my order sat on the counter until I came searching for it with my receipt. There was only 3 stools available to eat in from at counters. Luckily a stool was free to allow me to dine in rather than stand in the street to eat. No napkins were available at all and no straws were offered as was no condiments like tomato sauce or mayonnaise offered, all of which had to be asked specifically for. Liked the food, hates the service.

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.

Known for hot chocolate made from chocolate shavings

Dark Sugars

Top quality chocolate shop with amazing hot chocolate. Got a sample of their classic during a food tour and came back the next day to try their cinnamon hot chocolate. Absolutely perfect and decedent without being too righ. Definitely do yourself a favor and give it a try!

I came across this shop by chance while traveling, and the beautiful display immediately caught my eye.
I wanted to buy a gift for a friend and was having trouble choosing among the different chocolates. A kind staff member helped me think it through and select the perfect ones.
I also bought a few pieces for myself, and they were very flavorful and delicious.
Next time, I would love to come back to try their popular hot chocolate.
Highly recommended!

Lovely hot chocolate with melted chocolate shavings. However, no semi skimmed milk avaliable on our visit, so i had almond milk. It would have been so much nicer if there had been somewhere to sit inside instead of a bench in the street outside the shop. Just as well the weather was nice! An amazing range of artisan chocolates to buy and take away, but very expensive. Good service by  pleasant staff too.

The hot chocolate at Dark Sugars was just the best — rich, creamy, and full of deep chocolate flavor. Probably the creamiest I’ve ever had! It felt like drinking pure melted chocolate, but perfectly balanced. A must-try if you're in London and love indulgent treats!

The hot chocolate here is absolutely divine—rich, velvety, and full of deep cocoa flavor, possibly thanks to the generous sprinkle of chocolate on top (which I secretly love!). It adds such a luxurious touch, making every sip feel indulgent and perfectly balanced. The shop also offers a tempting variety of other chocolate-based treats that are hard to resist. On top of that, the staff were incredibly sweet and attentive, making the whole experience even more delightful. A must-visit for true chocolate lovers!

Honest Smash + Grab Liverpool St

It is great being able to pick up Honest Burger as fast food - I was served within 5 minutes of ordering. The staff were helpful and very kind. The place is kept clean. I paid £11.25 for a refillable drink, single patty smash burger and rosemary fries. The only downside was the burger was not as hot as the fries which were fresh out of the fryer.

For a fast food burger franchise, these are really nice burgers. Of course, if you want a restaurant experience, this is not it. But as an alternative to other Fast Good Chains this is great. Ordering is easy via screens or at the counter. There is some seating upstairs and a lot more downstairs. The toilets were clean.

The burgers are very juicy and filling. The fries with rosemary where so good. There is ketchup and mayo as much as you want for free, but do try the chipotle mayo. You can also refill your drink if you want. The chicken tenders were so soft and also crunchy. We went here twice during our holiday for a quick bite and it was good both times. Prices are decent for being right next to Liverpool Street Station.

I've heard a lot about this franchise.
Wanted to see what the fuss was about.
Upon entering its quite dark, with a red glowing appearance.

Super clean, I was impressed. Tables were spotless and no sign of rubbish anywhere!
Ordered a few meals and they were ready in around 15 minutes.

Packaging focused on recycling, which I can appreciate.

My tribute burger was average, thus the reason I gave three stars. I found it quite oily, the patty had some harder pieces which I could taste throughout the burger. It was medium well and that's how I like it.

Fries were fresh, I'm not a big fan of rosemary on fries, so that's a personal preference.

On a whole I would say the beef has room for improvement. I have had better quality beef patties for less.

The chicken tenders were a force to be reckoned with! Juicy meat with a crunchy outer skin.

As expected, the Burger is excellent.
You know Honest Burger has one of the best dry aged beef patties.
Ordered the Large smash cheese burger , and tenders, and the chicken tenders were the best i had.

Really decent smash burger that took all but 4 mins to be ready. Now that's REAL fast food, but top quality.

The burgers were crispy, juicy, and full of flavour. The sauce and cheese was creamy too.

One of the most solid smash burgers I've had.

Shake was pretty good too, albeit I like mine a bit colder and more ice-cream based.

Fairly good prices too. This will be my go-to quick eat at Liverpool Street now.

Casa do Frango | Shoreditch

Casa do Franco It's a fantastic choice if you are around Shoreditch. We discovered it last weekend and were truly impressed. The food was perfectly cooked, well-balanced, and beautifully prepared, and the service was outstanding. Olga, the manager, was incredibly welcoming, and we honestly have no reason not to return. It's a prime example of high-quality customer service, and as I mentioned, the food is exceptional. We can't wait to go back! And the natas—oh my, those natas are absolutely to die for.

The host was great. He ensured that everything was perfectly catered for, and he topped up our food as we had booked as a large group. I’m sure they even stayed past closing time for us which was a nice gesture as we were having a great time. The food and drinks were great and we will return!

We came for dinner on Saturday night and the overall experience was fun and positive. Between the three of us, we shared the bread with couvert, two piri piri half chicken (juicy and can't go wrong), pork croquettes (good), grilled chorizo (small portion but tasty), casa rice, salad and chips (all great accompaniments with the chicken). My vegetarian friend spoke highly of the vegetable feijoada and charred cauliflower. We also shared the pastel de nata and creme brulee (both were tasty). The drinks (cocktails, sparkling wine and white wine) were good too. The service was very friendly and attentive.

Enjoyed our lunch. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with good heat lamps for the outside tables. The food was tasty! Vegetarian options available. The servers were all extremely nice and friendly, but it was quite disorganized. We often had to repeat our orders multiple times to different servers to get them, even simple orders like beer. Also we had to wait quite a while for our table even though we had booked in advance. Hopefully as London gets back to normal they find their rhythm in this new pace.

We fell in love with this place. It was my first visit to a restaurant after the lockdown and we were lucky to get a table with no reservation ( yet try to book if possible). Food was delicious,  beautifully presented,  the house wine was just gorgeous,  atmosphere was perfect and on a relatively chilly day with heaters and blanket it was perfect,  and the service was amazing.  We felt so welcomed and well looked after. Do visit them. You'll have no disappointments.

Our chicken is Halal but we do not operate a fully Halal kitchen, as we use ingredients such as pork and alcohol in other dishes.

Casa do Frango

Award-winning Indian restaurant since 1974

Sheba Restaurant - Awarded Best Curry House In UK

I had an excellent experience at Sheba Restaurant on Brick Lane. They offer a wide selection of Pakistani, Indian, and Bengali dishes, and every dish was bursting with authentic flavors. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious.

The service was just as impressive – the staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a great meal.

If you’re looking for a restaurant on Brick Lane that serves amazing South Asian food with top-notch service, I highly recommend Sheba Restaurant. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

Very robust and fresh flavours in every dish we had. They balance the spices so well that they really add more dimensions to the flavours. The sizzling prawn dish and the lamb biryani are the super stars. Service was very efficient and friendly. The bonus point is that the place is well air conditioned so it’s perfect on a hot day.

I had an amazing meal at Sheba Restaurant. The mixed grill was incredible tender, juicy, and full of smoky, perfectly balanced spices. Every piece of meat, from chicken to lamb, was cooked to perfection. The lamb shank was another highlight  slow-cooked, rich, and full of flavour, falling off the bone with every bite.

The food tastes authentic and fresh, and the portions are generous. On top of that, Saiful and Naeem provided excellent service, friendly and attentive throughout the meal.

For anyone visiting Brick Lane looking for real Indian and Bangladeshi flavours, Sheba’s mixed grill and lamb shank are must-tries. I’ll definitely be returning

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant the food was amazing I particularly liked the lamb curry, also got two starters, kebab was amazing and so was the prawn chaat puri. Also the service was excellent, and they had a great atmosphere, would definitely recommend!

Great little restaurant in Bricklane that came recommended…
The food was nice, prawn purri and butterfly prawn starters with poppadoms were great!
The lamb shank curry a friend had seems like it was cooked to perfection, chicken tikka ok a hot palate looked good but for me lacked flavour and was dry, the spicy chicken curry was nicely done too, naan breads (garlic) were more sweet than anything else.

Drinks we were told we had two free rounds of drinks and were cans, these came straight out of a bottle which wasn’t great but can’t complain.

Alright so our bill apparently had 25% knocked off the tab but the calculations didn’t add up for me - £129 reduced to £96 for me was a bit steep for what we had considering the 25% off which didn’t seem that way in the end.
There was also an automatic service charge of 10%.

Although the restaurant is great and I somewhat recommend this, I would also try other places to give them the opportunity too.

KoKoDoo - Korean Fried Chicken (Shoreditch)

We had a wonderful lunch at Koko Doo, located just opposite the hotel. This small but welcoming Korean restaurant, seemingly run as a family business by a lovely couple, offers fresh and flavorful authentic Korean dishes. The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making us feel right at home. A major highlight for us was that they serve halal food, which was an important consideration during our trip. Every dish was prepared with care, and the warm, friendly service made the experience truly memorable.

KoKoDoo is such a great lunch spot, serving up amazing Korean fried chicken that tastes incredible. My go-to is the sticky soy, which comes with rice and a really tasty Asian slaw. The staff are super friendly and help explain the menu and what’s best to order. I also really like that you can customise your box — choosing a regular or large size, and swapping things like rice for chips. They do burgers, wings, and grilled chicken too, which all looked great. Perfect spot if you’re working nearby and grabbing lunch on your break, or just in the Shoreditch area!

Really good korean fried chicken. The first KFC(Korean not Kentucky) burger that I ever tried and loved it! The staff was really nice as well! Burger + fries was 10.5 pounds. Sauces were free!

The owners are lovely, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is cozy! We ate here for two days in a row because we enjoyed it so much. The prices are fair for the portion sizes. The food is prepared quickly, making it a great choice if you're very hungry. The lady working there, who I think is one of the owners, was very kind and even remembered us from the day before. Additionally, they have a stamp card where every 5th visit earns you a free drink and every 10th visit earns you a free meal.

Sweet and spicy Korean style fried chicken was just what I needed! It was £10.50, but a huge portion which was much appreciated! There was a little plastic pot of red cabbage on the side too! Fast service despite lots of customers!

Taco Taco - Shoreditch

Amazing food and service! Tried their collab with Doh’hut and it was delicious. Their prawn tacos were super flavourful and juicy as well. Can’t wait to come back for more.

Visited here for their lunch time meal deal and have found my new fave lunch spot! Really friendly staff members and super fresh ingredients. The salmon taco was my personal favourite. Look forward to trying more of the options

I dont often leave reviews but I feel this place definitely deserves one! A really cool place inside (perfect for insta pics by the wall 😉) also very clean!! There were quite a few appealing options on the menu and I didn’t know what to go for so I asked for a recommendation, I was recommended the chicken tacos based of what I liked and they did not disappoint!! Full of flavour and I devoured every bite 😋 I also ordered a side of guacamole and tortilla chips and the guac was hands down the best I’ve ever had! Portion sizes are generous and filling! The perfect lunch! I will definitely come back and will most definitely be a regular! The chef was also very lovely and friendly 😊 only negative I’d say is that there are not more taco tacos around!!!

Lovely new place. I'm not a fan of Mexican food myself, and saying that, I'd come here again for more. It's an easy speaking atmosphere with delicious food. The chicken taco was fab, and the staff were all lovely and friendly. :)

Awesome tacos, loaded with tasty fillings. The beef birria was in particular a highlight. Very quick and friendly service. You can't do much better for the prices, especially in this area.

Fora Restaurant

5 stars all round. Generous portions. Chicken shish was well cooked and full of flavour. Much better than the other three-letter Turkish spots nearby. Only downside: the hummus tasted shop-bought, freshly made would lift it. Slightly pricey for lunch but fair for dinner.

Clean place with friendly staff and nicely presented dishes. The food was tasty and fresh, nothing too fancy, but perfect for a relaxed dinner. We enjoyed the halloumi, chicken shish, and vine leaves. Would happily come back for a casual meal.

Visited during a team lunch. Very nice, openly spaced restaurant and friendly staff. For starters had their falafel and hummus. Their falafel was okay - a tad grainy for me - but their hummus was delicious especially with the provided bread. Also had a taste of their fried whitebait and spinach feta borek which were both pretty nice too. For mains I shared their grill platter which came with lamb shish, lamb cutlets, Adana kebabs, chicken shish and chicken wings atop rice and flatbreads. This was £29.50 pp and I believe was great value. Every single meat was absolutely delicious. Particularly, the kebab and two lamb cuts were just sublime. Even their wings, which I initially thought was odd to include, were succulent and just fell off the bone. This came with a lot of food too. Another group of 5 at our table ordered this and could not finish it but they kindly let us take the rest home. Definitely one to order and maybe share amongst more people than you would think. For desserts I had their Kazandibi milk pudding and chocolate pyramids. These were pretty good - not too sweet either. Also had some of their Turkish coffee which was delightful. Overall, great mains with superb meats and pretty good starters and desserts too. Would recommend!

Immense Turkish restaurant, perfect for a family, groups or work dining, serving traditional Turkish meals, in style.

Smoky babaganoush and spicy chicken kofte with bulgur were absolutely delicious, great mix of spices and very generous portions!

Lovely staff, attentive and welcoming. Entire place creates a very cosy atmosphere, ideal for a chilled & quiet evening.

The restuarant is OK, and food is fine. There was nothing outstanding in what I ate and middle eastern food can become same-e so it is hard competition.

I would rather 3.5 in that it is fine to go to. But would I choose to come back...no.

We serve Halal meat. Alcohol is also sold.

Fen Noodles

In the centre of Spitalfields, this stall has 2 screens for ordering so service is fast. I ordered the aubergine bang bang noodles (vegan) as a set menu which came wuth crispy wonton wrappers. You could see the noodles being made fresh and my order was ready in less than 5 minutes. For £10 I got a good amount of food which tasted delicious. Some of the aubergine was a little bit firm but still tasty.

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