KFC Bishopsgate

The day before yesterday, my friend and I ate our meal on the second floor here. I noticed that the gentleman in charge of cleaning on the second floor kept the entire small space very clean and tidy, and he promptly provided us with napkins. This is the most comfortable KFC I've ever experienced.

I don’t know what happened here. I placed the order around 22.30 on 15/01/2026 And the Might for One chicken was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly just flaking off the bone. Amazing
I meant to get a lucky batch then !!

Restaurant was not busy at the time maybe 5 customers at least the Asian bouncers looked bored anyway

The staff member who served me  the one in the photo was very rude and unprofessional. Their customer service was terrible, showing no kindness or willingness to help, which made my experience very unpleasant. They really need to improve the way their staff deal with customers

First I ordered the wings meal and Mighty Bucket For one food was good 👍 Chip was very low quality tasty was just OK but the table was so dirty and the service was very slow even 4 stuff on the floor seem all staff looking for something. Need to improve stuff training.

Thania was amazing. To start,  she tookntime with my order and explained what suited me and what didnt. As a chicken wing fan, she explained the options and.helped me choose what was right for me.

Very thankful for the time and effort especially when it was so busy.

Great service.

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

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

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

We popped in recently for a coffee and cake, enroute to the Royal London Hospital.

We were warmly greeted. Ordered at the counter and took a seat. Comfy seats but the tables were very close to each other. Once ready, we collected our coffee and pastry from the counter. There was no table service, as such.

The coffee was hot but very mild in taste ( not much coffee for a cappuccino) and it was served in a non insulated glass. Like a traditional milkshake glass. Very odd and hard to hold until it cooled a little. We weren't sure why they dont just serve hot drinks in a mug or cup & saucer?

We had the lemon cake. It looked delicious, as did the large selection of sweet and savoury offerings on view. Cakes, pastries, salads etc..However, the cake had very little lemon flavour.  I couldn't eat it and believe me, I never leave cake! Really disappointed.

Not the cafes fault but we class it as part of our 'experience'.
We had a 'local' couple sitting next to us who were eating like they were starving and he was constantly coughing, without covering his mouth. They left the cafe at a similar time to us and we caught them throwing litter on the pavement, right beside an empty bin ! I picked them up on this and she then put the rubbish in the bin. Disgusting behaviour. By the state of the street outside, that looks like typical behaviour for people in this area.

There are so many good cafes along this road, ones which we prefer. Unfortunately, we wont return here again but thank you, anyway.

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.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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 👍🏼

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

Wok n Roll

I went to Wok n Roll for my 25th birthday with my friends, long story short the food was great but the service was ridiculous and put a dampener on my night.

When we were seated they left x3 menus at the end of the table despite us being a party of 8. This pretty much set the tone for the rest of the evening. We had to ask to order drinks, ask to order food, ask for them to clear the table. It was so bad my friends started clearing the table for them as they left all our plates and then tried to bring out my cake.

We gave them a pack of candles and a ‘happy birthday’ sign for the cake which we asked them to put on the cake. They put one candle on and put it in front of the sign so it wasn’t visible. Honestly, the lack of thought and effort was palpable.

The only positives were that the food was really nice. I had a sweet icy lychee mojito with the prawn tempura and pad see ew which was hot, fresh and tasty. A good portion size for the price.

I’d say go here if you’re looking for a casual night out. Do not go here for special occasions or you’ll be disappointed.

Been here a few times, always order the same items and they’re always a success. It can get busy so booking in advance really helps, it’s a small restaurant so if going with a large group then definitely book in advance. The staff are always very good and take your feedback on the dishes, they have good customer service and have variety of dishes on the menu. The dragon roll is a must if you come here, love it!

My wife and I walked in this evening at around 930pm and there was only 2 groups of people, about 20% of their capacity. First impression was around the decor. Tastefully tranquil and equally chic. We ordered the dim sum (4 pieces), beef nasi goreng and tom yum soup and we felt the food arrived very quickly. Starting with the dim sum, so so tasty. Lots of flavour there on its own. The accompanying sauce/jus had a lovely star anise, tamarind, soy combo of flavours to it. It added some depth to the dim sum. Next the tom yum. Everything you'd expect from a tom yum, the tangy-ness, the umami and the favours of the mushrooms and prawns with an added kick rounding off the flavour profile. That was enjoyable! And what we felt was the main event, the beef nasi goreng. The most tastiest nasi goreng I've had by a country mile. Squeeze a bit of lime on it and it goes so well. Highly recommended, will return.

Food was delicious and very reasonably priced! Appreciated not being rushed and being able to stay for a long time. Would come back again.

We really liked the food. Its taste authentic since i have been to thailand! Our server Sadia, is so friendly and attentive to our needs. Best customer service!

The Sushi Bar Brick Lane

I stopped by The Sushi Bar on Brick Lane for a casual Saturday night dinner and tried a few dishes:
•	Chicken Yakisoba 🍜 – Nicely prepared and cooked well, but it lacked a bit of flavour.
•	Chicken Gyoza 🥟 – Delicious, though I personally prefer them steamed or boiled rather than fried. It would be great if they offered a choice in preparation style.
•	Prawn Katsu Roll 🍤 – Pretty decent and satisfying.

Overall, it’s a good spot and worth visiting if you’re after a quick bite at a fair price. Just don’t expect deeply authentic Japanese food prepared by East Asian chefs — it’s more of a casual fusion take.

The restaurant itself is simple, clean, and tidy. When I visited, it was a quiet evening with only a couple of other tables occupied, so there wasn’t much of an atmosphere — though that might just have been the night.

A nice little stop for sushi lovers who want something quick and affordable on Brick Lane.

We looked for Chinese/asian food near our hotel that is halal. The food was delicious and also the staff and the owner are very friendly and you feel very welcomed there.
Also it was very beautiful to watch how respectful they're behaving and talking towards each other. When we come to London again, we will definitely go there again. Greetings from Germany! |

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!

I was mainly interested in having Takoyaki. I loved each item. They were fresh and tasty. I would definitely visit again to try other dishes when I am around again.

Firstly, very clean here
Open kitchen and bright lighting !!
(Some sushi bars … with dark lighting or hiding… I have bad experiences…)

Fresh fish
Sashimi plates are the best!!

Service and the gentleman who probably runs the business is attentive.

When I visit England, I will definitely come here for my sushi.

The Sushi Bar

Yum Bun - Spitalfields Market

My third visit to this stand in over a week as food is quite tasty.
However, I got charged £29 for two buns and a coffee I never had I discovered on my card today. Neither of their terminals were working so the guy took my order and I tapped and paid. However there were two cartons when they shouted my number and I said at the time I ordered the double bun meal deal. '"oh sorry, we made a mistake" the girl said and said I could take it. I gave the second meal to a work colleague. But then spotted today not only did they charge me for both meals (OK, I did have two but only wanted one) but to cheekily add a £4 coffee to it too is beyond cheeky. I won't be going back. Check your receipts! £29 for lunch is unacceptable or is your poor handling of orders.

If you can wait, the buns are amazing! Tofu was beautiful! The staff were  very laid back considering it was lunchtime rush so my friends had finished theirs by time mine was done. They got my order wrong (chips instead of coleslaw) but ate them anyway. The passionfruit tea was delicious. I'd go back if I wasn't in a rush.

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”

First time eating here and the food was DELICIOUS!
The portion sizes were a little unusual, as the side portions were actually bigger than the buns themselves! Would have liked the buns to have been a little bit bigger, part of our order was also forgotten, so we had to wait a little longer, however the food was great and the Vegan Tofu bun, I 100% recommend!!

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.

Yum Bun

KFC Whitechapel - High Street

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.

KFC is perfect for anyone craving crispy fried chicken.
The chicken is juicy inside and has a flavorful crunchy coating.
The secret seasoning makes it taste unique and addictive.
Sides like fries, coleslaw and mashed potatoes complement the meal.
Delivery and dine-in are both convenient.
Portions are generous and filling.
Staff are usually polite and efficient.
A go-to place for comfort food lovers.

visited the Whitechapel KFC shortly after their posted opening time of 9:30 AM. Despite arriving at 9:33, the store was still closed. A staff member told me it would take 5 minutes, but when i returned at 9:40, another staff member said it would be another 10 minutes. When the store finally opened, instead of offering an apology for the delay, the staff showed attitude toward customers, which made the experience even more disappointing.

The quality has been getting bad anyway but today was the limit, i got the new honey burger and the chicken was raw inside it, literally hard and raw with batter on top, they are selling unsafe stuff now, extremely pathetic, KFC has lost its quality now.
I am a doctor myself  and I think this food can cause diseases , they should be reported to food regulatory authorities. I don’t know how to do it yet but i will find out and do it. Criminal negligence.

Recently, I’ve been visiting KFC, and the experience has been consistently disappointing. Every time I ordered wings, chips, and a wrap, the quality was extremely poor. The wings were always soaked in oil and seemed undercooked, as if they hadn’t been fried properly. The chips were soggy instead of crisp.
The wrap was the worst part. The lady who prepared it didn’t make it properly at all—there wasn’t enough chicken, and half of the wrap was just empty tortilla. She didn’t even toast the wrap, which made it even more unappetizing.
Overall, the service and food quality were unacceptable. Very disappointing and definitely not what I expect from KFC.

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.

KoKoDoo - Korean Fried Chicken (Shoreditch)

I really love the honey glazed fried chicken, very crispy and the sweetness is just right. Regular size is already in generous large portion which should be enough for everyone. It was 12:30pm  near 10 people waiting at the shop plus the delivery app orders. However I had my food on hand just in few minutes. So they prepared it amazingly fast.

My colleague took me here surprised when I talked to the owner in their language. Actually they are from Hong Kong to escape from the nonsenses and seek for a brighter future.

Just to say 香港人加油 to this shop and the lovely hardworking people!

very yummy fried chicken,
i tried sweet and spicy while my friend tried honey glazed, both are nice with a reletively big portion!
will try again definitely.
we have lunch there.

I bought lunch from here twice.
The chicken was tasty and service was quick. There were a few seats in the restaurant. Its busy there during lunch hours.
I had sweet and spicy chicken, also tried honey glazed one.
Both were nice

The sweet and spicy chicken is amazing and straddles the line between a little spicy and sweetness so well. Portion sizes are generous. The rice is done well for it to soak up the extra sauce from the chickren. The staff are super friendly as well.
It used to be a regular workplace lunch for myself and have fond memories of grabbing some food then eating it in the church garden just around the corner but I switched jobs so that came to an end. I popped by today though as a treat and can confirm that everything that kept me going back is still as true as when I was here last.

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

@bentobablondon has been one of our go to spots, with the fluffiest bao buns and tastiest katsu curry. However, this time round the chicken katsu bibimbab was quite dry with little katsu sauce, which was disappointing as it is usually delicious. The bao buns were perfect as usual, especially the sweet chilli chicken ! The customer service was amazing, with staff making us feel very welcome. We’re sure this was just a one off and we look forward to visiting again ! 

Overall, if you have a craving for Korean, Bento Bab is definitely a place worth visiting !

@cravinghalal's review of Bento Bab Aldgate on Instagram

Bento Bab (Authentic Korea food) - Commercial street

Really enjoyed this, was like a mini holiday.

I had the Beef Bentobab which was surprising in that the flavours were quite delicate. The Chicken Dumplings were very tasty - just a little tricky with the stainless steel chopsticks, but I managed!

Loved the atmosphere so will definitely go back to try their other recipes.

Staff very friendly.

Only warning- tables are very close together

Good food, $$.we had kimchi set, steamed rice,kimchi pancake,  2 KFC small & medium,3 Galib Tang, Gugeolopan, A good amount for 6 people. Good quality on the meats. Service was very efficient.  A good place in that area for K-pop food. As always, post wherever your palate takes you.

I recently dined in at Bentobab, and it was honestly a great experience from start to finish. The place has a clean, cozy atmosphere simple but nicely done, and it feels comfortable whether you’re there alone or with friends. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being pushy, which made the whole visit feel relaxed.

The food was the real highlight. Everything came out fresh, nicely presented, and full of flavor. You can tell they use good ingredients and actually care about what they’re serving. The dishes had that perfect balance tasty but not heavy, well-seasoned but not overdone. My order arrived quickly, and even the side dishes felt thoughtfully prepared, not like an afterthought.

What I really liked is that the portions were fair, and you could enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. The place was clean, including the tables and wash area, which says a lot about how well they manage the restaurant.

Overall, Bentobab is a spot I’d definitely visit again. Whether you’re coming for a quick bite or a proper meal, it’s worth it. Good food, great service, and a chill environment that’s hard to find all in one place. Highly recommend trying it out if you haven’t yet.

The food was absolutely delicious and the KFC was so crispy and tasty

kimchi was better than at many korean restaurants when I asked they said it’s homemade!

I was also recommended to try the stew so I had the spicy beef stew yukgaejang and it was amazing !

I loved that the stew comes with rice included :) and the staff were very friendly as well 100 out of 100! ♥️

The food was absolutely incredible! Every dish was full of flavour and well presented. The staff were very attentive and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely and added to an overall great dining experience.

The only downside was the toilets, which were located down some dark basement corridors and felt a little unclean with an unpleasant smell. It’s a shame, as everything else was fantastic.

Our halal options are clearly labelled. Pork is served but prepared and cooked separately.

Bento Bab

Peninsula Shoreditch(Malaysian & Indian Cuisine)

We tried Roti Canai here and couldn’t fault it. Really fragrant Dal and one of the flakiest roti I’ve had in UK. The charred bits on the roti adds wonderful flavour. It’s made fresh to order as well so must try if you are in the area.

The Nasi Lemak was disappointing. Fried chicken was frozen chicken strips, the sort you can get from your local chicken shop. The rice was Basmati instead of Jasmine and the roti canai was from frozen package like you can buy at Tesco. The curry was OK but overall not worth the money paid. You cannot advertise as genuine Malaysian food.

Rice and condiments were good, reasonably priced as well. Sambal chili could be spicier and the chicken was not authentic (chicken fingers instead of chicken wings as advertised?). Worth it if you’re in the area and are craving Malaysian/Singaporean food.

The devils chicken was really crispy despite being drenched in sauce. It was a perfect spicy so you could enjoy the food and not sob like a baby at the heat. Good portion sizes too.

Fantastic rice and sambal but we (Singaporeans) were quite taken aback by the fact that the fried crispy chicken = chicken tenders??? £10

Peninsula

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

I visited Haz Bishopsgate this week with a group of eight colleagues for an early evening booking. The restaurant was reasonably busy, and we were seated upstairs quickly which was a good start. There was a brief wait before we managed to get someones attention for drinks, as our first request was missed, but once the waiter came over things picked up. Fresh bread, olives and drinks followed shortly after. We ordered a mixed starter platter and had asked for the vegetarian items to be served separately for one colleague. This was acknowledged, although everything eventually arrived across two platters rather than fully separated. Not a major issue, but worth noting. For my main, I had the Chicken Shish Kofte which was soft and succulent. The mains arrived promptly, and by this point the staff were much more attentive. It is a busy restaurant and, unlike some places where waiters check in regularly, there was naturally less of that here given the pace and volume of diners. Overall, a good experience with tasty food and the atmosphere you would expect from a popular City restaurant during the evening rush.

Really nice food. The starters and the mains were great. I had the sikander chicken dish. It was really nice. The only thing is that it's very loud when full (as you'd expect) so not the best place for having a full fledged conversation but otherwise really nice restaurant.

The meat here is halal.

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

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.

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.

Known for hot chocolate made from chocolate shavings

Dark Sugars

Not my first time here and that says how special this place is! The classical hot chocolate taste is very special and good. Worth coming to try. The lady there is very sweet and kind adding the mixture of chocolate sticks to the drinks with a big smile, making the taste rich and high quality. There are also variety of good chocolates to buy from there. However, prices are high and there is no place to sit- this should be noted. The experience would’ve been much better if there were places to sit and relax and enjoy the drinks there.

My visit to Dark Sugars on Brick Lane was a long-awaited pilgrimage, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! I first heard about this decadent chocolate shop on a Food Network show, and ever since, it has been at the top of my list for my next trip to London.

Even though the shop was bustling with customers, the staff was wonderfully helpful and passionate about their offerings. I had the pleasure of enjoying the White Chocolate Saffron Hot Cocoa, a truly exquisite, rich, and delicious creation that I can't recommend enough! Watching the chocolate shavings melt into the drink was part of the fun, and the result was a creamy, perfectly sweet, and delicious cup of comfort on a breezy London afternoon.

Dark Sugars completely satisfied my sweet cravings. I found myself purchasing something from every one of the store displays. It was an unforgettable experience. Dark Sugars is a must-visit destination for any serious chocolate lover.

The hot chocolate was really good. They were really generous with the chocolate they put in too. The staff were super friendly and we had a great chat with them. It was great to see the free chocolate samples as well. I’d recommend it and thanks again!

We stopped by Dark Sugars and had the classic hot chocolate, really nice! Rich, smooth, and not too sweet, exactly what you want on a cold day. The place has a great vibe too, with friendly staff and amazing chocolate displays. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

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!

All our items are suitable for a halal diet.

@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Bari Bari Whitechapel on Instagram

Bari Bari

Wonderful, authentic delicious Korean food at very reasonable prices. Top quality and generous portions too. Had fish stew, which I loved. Friendly welcoming staff and vibrant atmosphere. Recommended!

Reserved a table for a large group and I was grateful that the restaurant was patient with us when a few of us arrived late. We ended up all ordering at about 3:50 and one of the later guests ordered at 4pm. Within 30 mins, 7/9 of us had received our dishes. After 50 mins of ordering, the 8th person had received their food.  The person who ordered at 4pm didn’t receive her food till 5:12 which was shocking for a vegetarian bibimbap, considering one of the people to first receive their food ordered beef bibimbap, so you’d think the vegetarian one would arrive faster. We asked waiters about 3 times and none of them had a concrete answer. They were also not very kind, had frowns on their face the whole time and didn’t even try to be polite with us. We’d prefer if they would’ve told us that dish would come so late so that person could’ve ordered something else as by the time their food had arrived, we had all eaten. To compensate, we asked to get the service charge removed to which the server looked confused but we were luckily able to to take that off as other reviews said otherwise.

On the positive side, my spicy beef stew photographed was lovely tasting and fairly priced. It wasn’t filling on its own though so needed to order steamed rice on the side. The ambience was lovely as well with nice lighting and decorations.

Food was nice but service would have to improve for me to return.

⭐ Constructive Review for Bari Bari Restaurant

I’ve visited Bari Bari a few times now because it’s close by and I often crave (rice) Asian food, Unfortunately, the waiting times have been consistently disappointing.

On my recent visit, I waited 47 minutes for a simple set lunch — even though the restaurant was only half full. I noticed several tables were also waiting, and no one acknowledged the long delay.

This wasn’t the first time I encountered this issue. On a previous visit with my husband, his sweet & sour chicken arrived after about 25 minutes, but my meal took almost an hour(Galbitang). He finished eating and had to leave for work while my dish still hadn’t been served, aside from a bowl of rice left getting cold on the table. That experience was already upsetting, but I wanted to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt.

Today, however, I noticed a group of three guests — who seemed to know the owner — being served quickly despite arriving after several other customers, myself included. This added to the frustration and made the wait feel even more unfair. They left the restaurant while I’m still waiting for my food.

For a casual restaurant offering simple dishes, a 10–20 minute wait is reasonable. 30 minutes starts to feel excessive, and 47 minutes without any communication or apology is quite disrespectful to customers’ time.

The food itself is fairly basic and not particularly authentic, so waiting this long makes the overall experience feel even less worthwhile. I hope the restaurant improves its service flow and consistency, because at the moment, the delays overshadow everything else.

I went to eat with my boyfriend for the first time.

❶ Sizzling Bulgogi Set  10.8

Special lunch set before 3pm on working days

This is very suitable for office workers. There are many office buildings nearby.

When I went there, there was a table with Korean men in suits for dinner.

One set for each person

❷Galbitang (short rib stew) Beef Rib Soup 12.5

It's most comfortable to have some warm soup in winter.

The rice written in the menu is not included

I don't know if I ordered the wrong set meal that day.

Or because I actually gave side and rice at noon.

❸cold noodle cold noodles 14.5

In fact, this is more than enough for two people.

But I really wanted to eat cold noodles that day.

Add white vinegar and cold noodles and dip a little hot sauce. It's so delicious.

The second time was on Christmas Day. Their house was still open.

I called an hour in advance to reserve a seat.

This time it's with a little sister. She is very knowledgable about Korean food. Take her to have a taste.

❹ kimchi pancake kimchi pancake 10.5

This is the starter, but it's the last one. It's very slow.

It feels like it's done now.

But my friend certified it was delicious! She has eaten it all. Highly recommended.

❺Galbi jjim (braised beef ribs) braised beef ribs 18.9

The beef ribs are still soft and delicious.

I highly recommend it to friends who like to eat meat.

❻Spicy Kimchi stew Spicy Cabbage Soup 10.8

My friend likes to eat kimchi very much.

So there are both kimchi cakes and kimchi soup.

According to the comments provided by her, the pickles in this house are light.

It should be to reconcile the regional taste.

It can't be said that it's not authentic, but it's really less delicious.

The shop is full of brown-black waiters with no Asian faces.

But I specially watched the kitchen, haha

As long as the chef is from Korea~

A small cookie was also given on Christmas Day.

So heartfelt

Nice food, but quite a small restaurant!

Not really buggy friendly but still doable.

Language was a barrier. As a novice to this cuisine, we were trying to ask about the menu options and we got the completely wrong things as they did not explain it properly. Considering the clientele they must deal with not sure why they are not better equipped to help out diners.
We also got a huge volume of food ordered because of this!

Really expensive for what it is.
Serves halal food.

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

Satay Street Café

If you're looking for spice and great food this is the place! Bar height seating inside and a few cafe style tables outside. The interior is a bit lacking, better to take away or eat out front. Stir-fry with chili and basil is SO good, you can control the spice level. Chicken Satay is good however a bit too sweet for my taste. They do not have Thai Iced Tea. The staff is very nice. Highly recommended.

Such a cute place to enjoy authentic Thai food. The owner and their chef are Thai. Their Signature Bao Bun Chicken Satay & Beef Massaman, Pad Thai with prawns are my favourite.  Bao bun is quite similar to steamed pork in Vietnam cuisine with meat and satay sauce inside. crispy, tender chicken, and a creamy satay sauce. They have 2 locations: 1 food stall in Petticoat Lane and the other is this cafe restaurant. Highly recommend!!

Reasonable price. The Best tofu Satay in town. The peanut sauce was so AMAZING & JUICY serving with rice & pickle salad on side. The chicken Satay wrap was also super delicious!
We really enjoy our lunch break :))) Highly recommended!!!

One of the best lunch spots for a hearty and delicious satay chicken and rice! Always go for the large even though the standard portion is pretty hefty. The pickles are amazing and the rice is always perfectly cooked. I get it at least once a week and the staff are always friendly! Highly recommended!

The must try Thai restaurant in London!!!!
They have two market stalls in Shoreditch and Petticoat Lane market! (Always have long queue there, you can find it!)
I love all the dishes here!
Try it!!!!

All chicken on our menu is Halal. We do not serve pork or alcohol.

Smash burgers, loaded fries and all your cravings in one box

Crave Joint

Really disappointing visit, the donner lacked flavour and the burgers both tasted the same despite ordering two different ones. Very bland and underwhelming. The ‘dynamite’ sauce was very thick and predominantly mayonnaise. The box is aesthetically pleasing, food looks like it’ll have flavour, however it is extremely disappointing. We also ordered kids meals and asked for plain tenders however they were very spicy so the children could not eat them. However the chip were good. Overall, it’s expensive and underwhelming.

Looks can be deceiving. Food wasn’t that great, chips were very salty and the chicken burger was tough in the centre and gamy, pizza was very mediocre, overall very expensive for the quality of food. However the service and staff was nice and plenty of seating

I saw a lot of promotional videos about this place and was really looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing.

The doner had a strong, off-putting smell that made it completely inedible, it seemed either very old or extremely poor in quality. Despite the bright red colour, don’t be fooled by the presentation. The pizza was rock hard, and although we ordered pepperoni, we were given margherita instead. The fries were overcooked and had a burnt taste.

The burger was okay… edible, but nothing special. Honestly, the only thing I enjoyed was the berry cola.

The food presentation looked great, which gave us high hopes, but the taste and quality didn’t match at all. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.

No Consistency in food..

This is my third time ordering from Crave Joint. The first time was when they were based in Brick Lane, and honestly had no complaints – the food was tasty, well-made, and everything looked and tasted like what was advertised.

Fast forward to today, ordering from their Forest Gate location, and I’m genuinely disappointed. We ordered two Crave Boxes with two different burgers, but were given both the same burgers. What’s the point of choosing different options if you’re just going to give the same?

The pizza in the box was paper-thin and hard. Overcooked. Nowhere near the quality I had before. It used to be fluffy, fresh, and a solid part of the meal. This time inedible.

Coleslaw – it was literally drier than the Sahara Desert. No mayo, no creaminess, just plain red cabbage thrown into the box. It looked and tasted nothing like what they post on social media. The advertised coleslaw looks creamy – ours was again inedible.

And the sauce tub? Was there even sauce in there? It was such a tiny amount, barely covered one bite, let alone a whole meal.

All of this for £17.50 per box? Absolute waste. I really expected more based on my first previous experience, but sadly, this order fell way short for the second time.

Crave Joint, please do better – consistency matters

Il been here many times but I can’t lie this time in this location the doner just tastes like them frozen packet ones from Iceland.

For your own businesses sake please use proper stuff and maintain the quality.

Once you reply to this review I will remove it as I’m not one to ruin someone’s business just want to give feedback

Italian Pizza bar, fire-baked Roman style, thin & crispy pizzas, super fast all day, eat-in or take-away

Pizza Union Spitalfields

We went to dinner here on saturday because it was close to our hotel. The pizza was very good! We really enjoyed the restaurant. And also liked the fact that your get a vibrating pad and pick up the pizza at the pickup spot yourself. Also the price was great! We didn‘t expect such a good pizza at such a low price in central London

The crust was super crispy and the sauce was out of this world good. Fast service made it even better, no waiting around. Definitely going back for more of that deliciousness. If you need any modifications, they're more than happy to help. Totally recommend this spot for a quick meal

The best place. Amazing pizzas, super quick service, great staff. Ita was particularly wonderful. Couldn’t recommend more.

Pizza Union offers tasty, affordable pizzas with great flavor and a variety of options to suit different tastes. The vibe is casual and welcoming, and there’s plenty of space to sit, whether you're grabbing a quick bite solo or coming with a larger group.
Great value for money!

These guys do amazing pizza and at the price they charge they have to be the best pizza company in London!
The pizzas start at £3.95 which is a steal. This time we went for the Calabria which was still really cheap only £7.95. Tasted delicious, I will continue to come here when I visit

Our chicken is Halal across all branches but it is not prepared separately to other meats. Pork and alcohol are on the menu.

Galvin La Chapelle

We were given an amazing gift experience at Galvin La Chapelle for a three-course set menu with a glass of sparkling wine, and it was truly wonderful. We went for my birthday, and it made the day feel so special.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and genuinely kind from the moment we arrived. Every member of the team was exceptional. Dom and Matt were so attentive, the maître d’ was wonderfully warm, and the lady who served us dessert was absolutely lovely.

The whole meal was delightful, and we felt so well looked after throughout.
We’ll definitely be coming back.

Wonderful dinner experience with a 3-course meal. Even the only kids menu- Chicken breast with potatoes and mushrooms - was amazingly tender and delicious (comment from my little one).
The side dish - potato (foam and crushed) with winter truffle, was a brilliant combination, even better than the main. I mean, who could ever thought of making . potato so interesting?
Loved the dessert as well.
Highly recommend.

A phenomenal treat. The food, atmosphere and service are always impeccable here. It’s worth signing up to Galvin Club if you enjoy fine dining as they often have set menus at very affordable prices.

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.

Mind the steps as you enter - the venue is beautiful and food well presented, but expected a bit more for 1 Michelin star.  Went for lunch in a large group.  Recommend the baba tiramisu dessert (share with 2 people)

Halal chicken can be preordered. Pork and alcohol present.

Authentic Burmese in the trendy Shoreditch area

Lahpet Shoreditch

You can have a conversation here without shouting. This is one of the too few restaurants in London where, even when busy, you can easily talk at your table without needing to shout. Noise from other diners is nicely broken up by divides & a U shaped layout.

You can be a celiac here. Gluten free options are plentiful.

Dishes are flavoursome, not overly hot or spicy. The flavours are stimulating & pleasurable, curry heat is very mild.

Delicious food, and GF items are marked on the menu. There were quite a few, which I appreciated, as that’s not the case with all restaurants. I had a fritter (GF item, was fried separately) and a veggie curry (also GF). Both were excellent. Their kitchen isn’t a dedicated GF area, but I felt the waitress took allergies seriously - she asked all of my group if we had any.

This was my first time trying Burmese food, would recommend.

Excellent Burmese food in a modern restaurant with good service and ambience! Shared tea leaf salad, papaya salad, hake curry, chicken coconut noodle soup, coconut rice and crème brûlée between three people. All dishes were consistently reasonable in portion, flavoursome and delicious. The crunchy salads and the perfectly cooked fish were my favourites. The chicken noodles were lovely but I wouldn’t have again (personal preference). Highly recommend this place - ticks all the boxes ie enjoyment, quality and value.

Incredible food at a good price - Burmese cuisine is one of the most underrated in my opinion! Pyae was a really helpful and kind waitress, and Min is a terrific head chef! Dishes were super delicious!

Absolutely delicious food with friendly stuff. Super nice place to have a lovely evening. The superstar dish for me is the coconut noodles. Cocktails are great as well

Our chicken is halal. We only have one pork dish on the menu.

Delicious, freshly prepared Indian-style wraps

Naan Wrap

Had the paneer naan taco at Naan Wrap and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly spiced, fresh, and really well put together. The flavours were spot on and genuinely memorable.
Chef Josh and Nana were there as well, and their passion and warmth made the experience even better. Amazing food and great vibes—will definitely be coming back!

We’re elderly, and for health reasons we’re very intentional about what we eat. Generally, we no longer eat fast food.

Last Friday, we had a half hour to fill before medical appointments near Spitalfields. We were hungry. Wandering around the market (and not being attracted to any of the eating places), we noticed Naan Wrap, where a friendly staff member was encouraging passersby to try samples of their bread. The bread is freshly baked in an oven in plain sight. We decided to “risk” ordering from the very welcoming and engaging staff member (owner?) at the counter. I say “risk” because, as I mentioned above, we usually avoid fast food. We ordered paneer and chicken wraps with chips. Our food was very tasty, and nicely presented.

Because we had medical appointments, we decided to take home half of our wraps (thinking we’d throw them away if we thought them unappetising when we got home). Three hours later, after zapping our half-wraps in the microwave oven, we thoroughly enjoyed them.

Overall, our experience of Naan Wrap was a very good one, and we’ll definitely go there again when we’re next in the Spitalfields area.

In my opinion, this friendly, customer-focused business stands out in the very competitive Spitalfields food market, and I highly recommend them.

I am a tourist from Sweden and I have to say this was probably the best wrap I’ve ever eaten! Highly recommend it if you’re visiting Old Spitalfields Market

It was really amazing, I got the butter chicken tacos definitely it’s one of the best tacos I loved the idea the concept, I would try it again and again. Also the mango Lace was very good.

I was roaming around Old Spitalfield Market today and found Naan Wrap while been approached by a wonderful man. The sales guy was very professional, kind and knowledgeable about the menu.

We had 2 taco's and Mango Lassi. It was absolutely mouthwatering, special thanks to chef.

Naan Wrap has a very unique menu of mixtures, from tacos to wrap, rice box to Fries!

It's bit expensive, but the taste is definitely worthy. I'll highly recommend this place.

All meat is Halal. No alcohol or pork served.

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

- Fully Halal

@halalhunt's review of Chicos Whitechapel on Instagram

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

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

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

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

We tried the following dishes.

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

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

@halal_chronicles's review of Chico’s on Instagram

Chicos Aldgate East

The staff was friendly and the restaurant is clean.  We just stopped in for a quick dessert. The Birthday Cake Cookie & Ice Cream was hot out of the oven.  It completely satiated my sweet tooth and was amazeballs!  The Lotus Biscott Chirros were also a warm delectable delight.

We were told to try their
Brisket Sando
As it launched in all their stores

So we made our way to order

It was a long wait
Probably because of how much
Everyone loves Chico’s
& The Sandos had just launched
At 50% off

But we didn’t mind
As the staff were so apologetic,
Especially the girls who all
Appreciated our patience.

The Sandos were definitely worth the wait
We will certainly be back to try
More of the new additions to their menu
& All their drinks which looked fantastic

Best wishes to everyone at

Customer service was so top notch! Firstly being greeted at the door then being shown to the seats, and guess what?! There is a very nice and clean sink to wash your hands!! 😁 This is such an essential for me as I really stress about hygiene and smell. I am genuinely amazed by the atmosphere, no music, simple background sounds, just the right noise level for those conversations that matter with your friends. Ordered grilled wings, onion rings and chicken tikka burger. Everything was amazing 😍, the only turn down was the salt in the burger was a bit on the higher side, more than my liking, there was a bit too much of a curry taste. Otherwise great place to bring your friends to enjoy!!!

Amazing food and amazing service. the platter was really nice. Amu was really polite and kind .She really knows how to deal customers.Highly recommended to everyone 💯❤️

The food was delicious and atmosphere was great! What really tied our whole experience together was Charitha who gave us exceptional customer service 🌟 She was so kind and helpful :) Thank you for making our day 🫶

Dub Pan (Boxpark Shoreditch)

The food was really enjoyable and was great value for the money spent. I enjoyed my meal but my company was not fond of the rice. The rum cocktail was a standout as it really caught us by surprise with how good/strong it was. The atmosphere was pretty loud, as you’d expect from a place like this, but it added to the vibe. Definitely enjoyed the visit and would go again if I’m in the area.

Food was so delicious and Robyn the server, was lovely, explained the menu and made sure we enjoyed our late lunch. Definitely recommend. :)

It looks like carribean food but that’s as far as it goes. The two stars are because the plantain was decent but let’s be honest if you can’t fry plain rain the world has gone crazy.

Curry goat was too salty and full of bones. Festival was too oily and not fresh.

It’s a nice spot but I am guessing change of ownership and kitchen because the food was poor.

Food is amazing! Robin made our experience 10x better with his customer service skills. I enjoyed eating here

best meal ive had in my entire trip do london. matter of fact, best chicken ive ever had in my life. And im from portugal, great chicken. But this may beat it
Also super nice people and fair price
Good music too
Took this yeah mon! Platter down in 5 minutes

Tifinbox - Indian Street Food

Office Catering for Diwali - Wow! Such a super helpful team — amazing tasting food, generous portions for the price, and incredibly quick and supportive service. They were so understanding of our catering needs, provided clear labels for each food item, and delivered everything right on time. Highly recommend!

I absaulty LOVE this place! I used to work close by and now look forward to any trip near by... as I always go. Now I dont work in the City, ANY time I'm near by, I always try and come here as the food is sooooooo good and authentic. Best Indian food in the Whole of London in my opinion

If you want a decent Vada Pav, go elsewhere. Cheap and substandard, food served cold and upon complaining was advised ‘vada pav is always cold’. That boy would get a slap for such a comment in Mumbai but because we’re in London, we politely overpay and never return again! Thank you for disappointing! Reviews thrive on the poor British folks who have no clue what to expect!

First of September (1/09/2025) around 5.45 evening i was near to tower bridge London so i check in google there is any Indian restaurant near me so i find 3,4 restaurant then i choose this restaurant and its close 7 pm  so i checked what time i can reach there so 6:25 i can reach there and they are closing 7 pm so i think i can finsh my food within 15 mins. i call them 3,4 time they never pick up the phone and i start walking from tower bridge and  i reach there 6:28 and the restaurant was close but staff are working in side and lights on but the shutter was closed. So i took a picture of the shop and i never recommend this restaurant. 0 out of 10

Nice experience. Rush hour due to Lunch time. Ordered Veg. Paneer tikka wrap with wholemeal chapati. It was mouth full of flavour with fries and chutney. Aalo paratha was great with chole, Curd , onion salad and Chutney.
Really nice place, tasty food and good portions. very well priced! We only had a few sides but they were really so nice. The workers were kind and helping, the place plays Indian songs and the atmosphere is ok. Really recommend it.
I have also uploaded photos of things we have ordered and this will give you nice idea how fulfilling it was.

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

Pho Spitalfields

Great experience!

The food was lovely. The pho was amazing. Tasted rich and worked really well with the extra sauce. I also got the Vietnamese curry and for a specialized Pho restaurant, it was very good. It's competing for my favorite dish against the Pho.

The interior decoration is really neat and feels homey and all the staff is very friendly and attentive. I was served by a waiter called William. He gave such good recommendations and was very attentive.

Would definitely recommend and I would go again.

The whole menu is Gluten Free! First occasion where I could share with a friend who also had allergies. Delicious wings! Dishes full of hearty flavour! Generous portions! We got so excited we ordered too much! Excellent customer service! Highly recommended!

Amazing and delicious food. Visited this place during my stay in London and it was a life saver from the typical bland London/European food. The staff was friendly. We ordered Spicy Beef Brisket Pho, Pork Meatballs and Papaya Salad, each one of these dishes was absolutely yummy.

So good, family friendly, my kids ate the pho which is nuts. Service was amazing as well. If you are on the fence, try the curry, it's great.

William had been an amazing server! The food was also very delicious. I ordered the baby squid and also the Pho house but got the hot & spicy broth instead as recommended by him and it was just as hot and spicy as he was🔥🔥🔥 Give this guy a raise xx

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.

Huong viet

I have eaten at a lot of Vietnamese places and this place is the best tasting one for me by far. Their soup broths are very clean tasting, clear and fresh with lots of depth, and all their dishes are cooked really well and full of flavour and served out very quickly. Plus I know that the food is always consistently good and as I stop there to grab lunch at work often so I know it’s not a one off experience. They have very good cocktails too. No oily spring rolls either.

Summer Rolls are proper packed portions! Finally! Bahn Mi (port belly) was stunning. So tasty and fresh. Service was so great - thanks Mark! This place is a bit of a hidden gem in Shoreditch. Get on it!

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

Delicious food and amazing service! So happy I found this place. Highly recommend and hope to come back soon

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

Patty&Bun Liverpool Street

Patty & Bun do really good #Gluten Free Burgers and take a lot of caution by labelling the packaging GF so it doesn't get mixed. The fries are Gluten Free so can be shared which is awesome. The service is fantastic, friendly staff, quick service. The Burgers are always tasty. I did feel the Gluten Free Burger at the Canary Wharf outlet was slightly tastier though but couldn't put my finger on why maybe extra sauce? But overall I'd never hesitate to eat at Patty n Bun as the food and service are great especially for #GF options.

Crazy to say, but this was the second best burger (incl. fries) that I ever had. Great flair, nice music but not too loud, and some really delicious Burgers - Medium if you want. The fries with chili are insane.

Placed a delivery order and was pleasantly surprised! The salty chips were incredible—just like fries back in the States. The truffle dipping sauce and chicken sandwich were definite highlights. The burger was decent, though not as memorable. Overall, it was a great, quick dinner—especially after striking out at a few places not serving food on a Monday.

Our server was Jasmine, and she was the kindest person we met during our trip in the UK. The food was absolutely delicious as well. We would love to visit again if we have more time!! Thanks jasmine ☺️❤️

Me and my Boyfriend had a lovely meal here on the off chance being hungry and wanting something filling. We were greeted by a lovely host named Jasmine who was very knowledgeable about the menu and got us seated quickly. My only hiccup was that the seats were a little uncomfy after a while but maybe that’s just my taste! We will come again thank you Jasmine and all of the team :)

Our lamb and chicken is Halal at all locations. Our beef is Halal at Kingly and James St.

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.

Came for our birthday celebration lunch and I couldn’t have asked for more. Amazing service, food, drinks and ambience. The restaurant was beautiful and all staff welcoming and hospitable. Thank you to our wonderful waiter for looking after us so well. Fantastic dining experience!

Food was really good. I had the calamari and the chef’s special spicy chicken—both were flavorful and cooked perfectly.

The staff were amazing, and the ambiance wa

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.

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!

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