Buns From Home

My favorite cinnamon buns in London! I always recommend the classic Cinnamon bun, Chocolate bun, and Pistachio buns.

The custard buns are really good if you eat it right away, especially the tiramisu and cheesecake flavors.

There’s a reason why this is a London favorite, really good and highly recommended.

Delicious buns of all flavours, I like the idea of savoury ones too (the spinach and feta one is delicious). It's a cute little shop, although I felt the service could have been a little friendlier. The buns are quite tall so a bit hard to eat, but interesting flavour options and made for a good on-the-go breakfast!

These buns are amazing. Vanilla custard on the left picture, then hazelnut and cinnamon rolls in the right. Very testy and delicious 😋

Absolutely love that Buns From Home has opened up in this corner of London - this little store is one of the stores on the outside of the Royal Exchange building (formerly a cigar shop). While teeny, it serves all the classic buns, as well as allpress coffee! Open only on weekdays.

Cinnamons buns were okay, fresh, good texture but small and not the most flavourful, they were £3.50 each and they had a few different varieties. We’ve had better but we can’t compare these to any others in London as we were only visiting. We queued outside for around 15 minutes for them to restock and the whole time the front of house server was itching his bum through the window whilst preparing the bags to put the buns in, not exactly very hygienic and we should have probably left there and then.

Personally we wouldn’t return and can’t say we’d recommend.

The only two buns flavours on our permanent menu that aren’t vegetarian are our ham and cheese bun and our tiramisu bun (pork gelatine). We are currently trying to switch over to fish gelatine but it’s proving harder than we expected. None of the permanent flavours contain alcohol. Occasionally, weekend specials will contain one or both of these ingredients, in which case we will be sure to mention this on the instagram announcement. 

Guilt-free, simple and nutritious dishes to enhance your mind, body and soul

Simple Health Kitchen

Have been here quite a few times for lunch and have not been disappointed.

Like it says in the name, the food is simple, healthy and actually tasty too, with a variety of options
(as long as you don't get there too late, as options do seem to sell out quickly).

Majority of the staff are very friendly and welcoming too.

Definitely a great clean alternative to stodgy lunches that wipe out your energy for the rest of the day.

Overall a very nice place for lunch. Great salad selection, and big portions if you go for the large box. I would of given them 5 stars but the chicken was very fatty. The spicy mayo is VERY spicy!

Cold chicken and undercooked brocolies. Service is fast and queue even on Friday is short. But extremely disappointing food. Ordered pesto chicken, but it was not able to taste any pesto at all. It had only a bit of green herbs on it. No trace of nuts :(

All veggies on the side were super raw. Had to bin brocolies and beatroot and microwave chicken back in the office.

At checkout they pack order, but don't put catlery in the bag.

That food and vegan, dairy free, gluten free sweets OMG accompanied with friendly staff.

I overall enjoy this place and eat here a lot for convenience. Good enough food and friendly staff. Main gripe is their portions are wildly inconsistent, usually on the smaller side. Sometimes it feels like they are purposely putting so little on the plate you need to ask for more. I shouldnt be able to count the potatoes just from a quick glance. I also usually come later and they have plenty leftover so I imagine they throw a lot away. So please train staff to not go so light on the salads - it will keep people coming back in the long run.

All Meat is Halal, Measures are taken to avoid Cross contamination with Pork. Locally sourced ingredients.

Chilango

Really tasty Mexican food. I absolutely love their hotbox. But if you planning to get lunch from there, plan accordingly as it might be crowded.

Tasty, quick, convenient and a nice enough setting. Docking a star because my sweet potato criss cross fries were cold, but the burrito was mighty fine and filling. Feedback from my dining partner was that the ‘hot box’ left much to be desired and was a tad skimpy on the contents.

Always great food and quick service. The speed at which the queue move is a great way to show efficiency. Top class

They have beer! Modelo, Corona, Pacifico. Essential to battle those hot sauces

I dont recommend during lunch time.
Staff is very disorganised.
I would rather wait longer than shout my order in hurry and move on.
Ive ordered 3 different burritos. My 1st went to some other person. Ive asked for it again. There were surprised but did it again. Then shuffled during serving with other peoples burritos and served me veg one instead od turf&surf.
Veg wasnt bad but i like meat
As it was take away aint bothered to come back.
It could be nicer if more seasoning would be added as well.
Shame as it was rated quite high and Ive expected better service

Pali Kitchen

Great place to grab lunch with a very wide range of vegetarian options. Lots of lovely Indian flavours - I loved their dal makhni! Their portion sizes are pretty small for the price, though.

I got the paneer nourish bowl. It is a really good balance of proteins, carbs (veggies and grains) and is perfect for lunch takeaway. The flavours are really good, and you can mix and match with various sides. Recommend!

Delicious and healthy lunch when I’m at the office. The service is so lovely, staff look really happy and friendly!

Tried their rice and tandoori chicken box. Tastes amazing and also have great more options to go for wraps or meal box.

A little bit pricey, but nonetheless, the food is delicious. The Kati rolls are amazing with the tandoori chicken. Full of flavour and just the right amount of spice.

The Ivy Asia St Paul's

My partner booked this restaurant for my birthday last Thursday. We were welcomed from the beginning and the place was absolutely stunning. The hostess showed us our seat by the window that was just perfect with the view of St. Paul’s. The Waitress Gabriella made us feel comfortable and showed us the Menu and gave us suggestions. She was always present and on point with food and more drinks!
The dinner was lovely, we had a selection of 6 different small plates, so delicious and with a very unique taste. We ended up with the red dragon for dessert and Gabriella brought a celebration plate with vanilla mochi and a candle for my birthday.
The whole experience was amazing and
we are definitely going back to visit this restaurant!

Amazing…light and flavorful dumplings, salad was fresh and perfectly balanced, chicken skewers were off the chart, sushi was fresh and delicious and presented beautifully, atmosphere is lively and fun and staff is very attentive and friendly.  We did not have a booking for they were full but the made room for us at the chef’s table.  To top it off our waiter was one of the owners but did not tell us until the end.  He is a humble servant and he has trained the staff to perfection.  A must stop in London! Great view of St Paul’s Cathedral from every table.

Absolutely love it here. The staff, the food, the vibe, everything is absolutely amazing.
I have been here for dinner and the afternoon tea and all I can say is, whatever the occasion and food choice it doesn't disappoint.
It is so beautifully decorated, with the lighting avocado floors to the beautiful pink blossom trees. I had the same waiter as last time. Daniel is such a lovely guy, attentive even though he is really busy, so calm, relaxed and such an asset to the restaurant. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Had a fantastic evening here at The Ivy Asia. The starters were incredible and the best part of the meal in my opinion, the main courses were good but not as good as the starters. Some of the meat was Halal which is always an added bonus and the atmosphere was great too! A bit pricey, but I guess given the location and interior of the restaurant, this is expected. Wouldn't go back in a rush but on a special occasion, I'd definitely consider it!

Delicious food in such a beautiful setting. Interior decor is outstanding. Great service. We were served by Christian who looked after us very well. Highly recommended for a special occasion. Great cocktails too, we all had a fabulous evening  :)))

Tossed Coleman Street (Guildhall)

The store looks nice and spacious and the staff is friendly. However the food itself is not good. The hot food is not even hot and the chicken is depressed (dry) for the amount you pay roughly £9 you are better off somewhere else.

Yesterday I was served by a very sweet young lady, I’m not sure of her name as she didn’t have a name tag maybe the manager as she was dressed very differently compared to the other employees in full black. Anyways I just wanted to thank her she was very busy but still accommodated very well to my needs. Very polite and always smiling.Tossed needs more employees like her!

I am Selva and get my daily lunch here at Tossed Colman Street.  Highly recommended.  Amazing and friendly service from the staff mainly Mr Celes, Mr Alexander and Mr Jeorge, best service ever and also other staff too.

The food is so much fresh, and made on order.  Definitely one of the best healthy take away across London.

Awesome healthy food. The best ordering experience.  Highly customizable, super fast, reliable, no human interaction to get your order wrong, love it!

I don’t understand why others gave one or two stars to this wonderful place and such a superb healthy food.

This was the last time I'm coming here. There's a huge difference in portion size between different employees. This is supposed to be a 'large' size. If you get the girl to prepare your meal, expect about 25% less. This happened to me several times over the last few weeks. With corona they are not exactly swimming in custom at the moment, but I am taking mine elsewhere. Very disappointing!

Tried the Malaysian chicken yellow curry with superfood ... the taste was good and healthier option for lunch .... well that’s the USP and I like toss for that ... you go to shop and order on screen , see calories for whatever you order and can customise too ... all good ... minuses are the quantity seems low for the price point if you compare to wasabi / Japanese canteen or similar joints ... relatively busy but quick service

Our chicken is Halal. We serve pork in some stores.

Grilled chicken marinated with South American inspiration

Assenheims bar and grill

Very authentic South American huge 'workers' style cafe with unpretentious tasty chicken and rice. Waiter suitably gruff when asked for tap water to drink. A good experience.

The best grilled chicken-juicy and succulent.  It comes with a green sauce which tastes amazing with the chicken. There are also some delicious South American sandwiches with chorizo and steak.  They also have vegan options and the portions are massive.  It is a great spot for lunch.

Super food and simple menu. Can't go wrong!

I go Assenheims regularly as sometimes you just want to have Assenheims and nothing else will beat the craving of their delicious grilled chicken and sides!

Very fast service for dine in or take away.

Amazing food, amazing place. Fantastic chicken and rice and love the green sauce. Best food in London.

Love this place, just around the corner from work. Brace yourself the helpings are huge & you get your money's worth. For me it's the staple diet food, rice, chicken, grilled veg & plenty of it. The chicken (which is halal) is a kings feast on every plate. What makes it even more special is the green sauce. Its kind of a minty taste, but compliments the meal perfectly. See folks just pouring this all over their meals, you cant get enough of it! Great place for a great nosh up. Cost is really reasonable & be prepared to wobble out as you'll be pleasantly full.

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

Goodman City

We just turned up as a group of 4 with a couple of teens.  Staff made us all feel very welcome. The service was very good, much better than we are used to at home. Everyone thought the food was outstanding. (Yep even the teens) So tasty, and well seasoned. Well worth a visit.

Really well done people. You are awesome.

Managed to grab a late afternoon table.....  steak was fabulous,  service was brilliant.......   asked for a glass of red for the main - fantastic that they have American full bodied by the glass

Food that is truly delicious, with a simple yet elegant presentation. They took a dish I didn't like, mole, and turned it into one of my favourites of the night. Definitely worth the money. The desserts were also excellent.

Best steak of my life. Yes it is a little pricey but it’s worth it.

We have Canadian steak available as a halal option.

Homeslice City

At .half price in September this was a great deal for some huge pizzas.

The poor rating aims to a) reflect full price value and b) provide a counterpoint to what I believe is an unjustified rating of 4.3

One could tell that our pizzas were based on archetypes that were once amazing, and I’m sure to someone who hasn’t tried proper contemporary pizzas they would be quite exciting. However, the execution just wasn’t up to standard. The toppings certainly took some interesting risks - at least they would have been interesting some years ago before Homeslice had become a profitable and professionally managed chain. Instead we were met with pizzas that looked great from across the restaurant but were disappointing when close. They were clearly designed by someone who had a great vision but with major constraints to ingredients, staff time and quality control.

I find it frustrating that places like this are given amazing star ratings because they are a lot better than something like a pizza express, yet are ultimately lacklustre if you’re looking for something truly original.

Homeslice feels a bit like Toy Story - sure it’s fun and at one point had an interesting perspective to bring to the table; but the fact that people still go crazy over what has now become a cash cow undermines the ability of new independent restaurants to support originality.

I wish for a restaurant rating system that could really separate the wheat from the chaff. And I’m afraid in this case, Homeslice City is undeniable chaff.

It if probably my fault for not realising that a restaurant called “[chain_name] City” was always going to be chaff.

Needless to say, I shall be going back before the end of their half price deal. But never again after that (copy p)

Lovely pizza place  to go with the family or just grab a fast bite. Don't be mistaken by fast service, the quality of food is very good. I love that they sell slices of  🍕 .
Lovely staff as well.
Definitely will be going back!

Great idea for a restaurant, small menu but really tasty food. Came out extremely fast and was a reasonable size for the price. Would definitely return to this place.

Homeslice always has great pizza. I eat meat but the Mushroom is by far the best - also the terrace here is really pleasant on a sunny day!

Great atmosphere. Pizza toppings unusual. The spicy salami was disappointing. Great place for groups

Our Wagyu and lamb are both halal, and of course our vegetarian pizzas.

Tetto’s Farringdon

Amazing food, drinks and the most lovely staff!! Came here for date night and we will most definitely be back. All the food was so yummy and surprisingly reasonably priced. Recommend if you’re in the city, super close to Farringdon station. The manager even gave me a free shot for my birthday :)

10/10

This used to be my favourite place for lunch when it was a Turkish grill  I was gutted when it changed to this new guise but having had lunch in the new place I was very impressed.  Food was very tasty and well priced. The refreshed interior is a great improvement.  All in all a big thumb's up.

Food was very great I loved the steak. Cocktails were just right. Food came quickly. Perfect atmosphere. Hostess was very lovely and polite. Staff was very good as well they know their jobs.

Very nice restaurant with lovely decor. Rumi the hostess was welcoming and all the staff really attentive. There were a lot of options on the menu and the food is plentiful so make sure you turn up hungry! The manager was really sweet and let us know where he gets the dates which are the best we've had!

Very nice food the meat was perfect . Very lovely cocktails and staff was very efficient and welcomed. I am recommending to everyone. I loved the food and price was reasonable too. Hostess was great and polite very lovely lady.
I will upload some of the prices from the food I had.
Will be back again. I had lovely Friday night!

Gordon Ramsay Street Burger - St Paul's

Absolutely great experience - took my partner here for his birthday. The wonderful staff made such a fuss of us. The food was excellent - perfectly cooked, not greasy, full of flavour. The mac and cheese is amazing. Great value for money. Cocktails are delicious, and the sticky toffee pudding was hands down the best we've ever had (and it's our favourite so we've had a few!!).
The lady with the pink hair absolutely made our visit - thank you for reminding us how fantastic service can be. We will 100% return.

First time enjoying Street Burger tonight - and oh wooow. Really tasty burger, not huge and messy. The chips were nice and crispy, but not oily. Same for the onion rings! Really friendly staff - I did not get names, but the whole team were great! Will definitely be back soon (I've got to try the rest of the menu now)

Very tasty burgers and fries were nice and crispy on the outside while fluffy on the inside. Drinks were bottomless but service was a bit slow to refill these. Toilets were also ridiculously narrow. Overall though, the food made up for these shortcomings.

Toilets where dirty, heaters didn't work outside, they were so under staffed I felt so bad for the guy serving us (who was so lovely) food was so greasy, you get about 10 chips with the burger. onion rings were so nice but greasy and it came out separate than the rest of our food. the burger was soggy from the grease, the only soft drink they had available was sprite as nothing else was there, wasn't provided napkins and there was none available to grab inside so had to use toilet issue.

Great value for money. I like the grass-fed meat burgers, also the chips. What I don't like is the refillable drinks using small glass. I usually don't drink a lot, but it's annoying to get up and refill.

Our halal options include the JFC chicken burger, our Not So Simple vegan burger as well as our vegetarian Butternut Bhaji burger.

Build-your-own ramen, sushi and bubble teas

Uzumaki London

Great food and great people. Everything made from scratch all real ingredients. And the wall art is awesome. LOVED IT! 🍜🍜🍜

Honestly, the best ramen I have ever ate in London. Clean taste, true ramen , slow cooked for endless hours and super fresh sushi.
Can’t wait to try the bubble tea once they launch it.
Highly recommend place with friendly and attentive staff members.

The bubble tea is incredibly delicious, the salmon is very fresh, and the ramen is delicious. The staff is very kind and friendly. The atmosphere of the whole shop is perfect. I like it

OMG this guys they know what they doing !!!
Ramen amazing, sushi 🤩 and don’t forget about amazing bubble teas
Amazing place !!!

Great ramen made from scratch, well worth a visit

We have a lot of Halal options for both ramen and sushi. Halal items are clearly marked on the menu. Please ask our staff for details.

Hand-made, authentic south-east Asian food

Nusa Kitchen

The staff are neat and side menus look healthy.
To be fair, the rice with beef tastes not bad. I guess Red sauce tastes tomato , oregano and a hint of chilli. as for me, some twists make it better. Such as, texture of clashed peanuts, garnish of fresh herbs.

Went for vegan noodle at £7.50.
Microwaved type of noodle consistency and experience, not great taste too outside the chilly.
No quality for money I'm afraid and quite mediocre lunch. Not worth it and they claim it as Made Fresh Daily.

My go to place for breakfast and lunch. I always get their Bombay Eggs for breakfast. They're scrambled eggs with tomato, ginger and tumueric. I then get some sausage or bacon to go with it. Then at lunch I usually get a beef rice box which is very filling and a massive portion. I brought my lunch home and emptied it on a plate and couldn't believe how big it was. Price may seem a lot for lunch but the portion is honestly massive. The chicken rice box and fish one is also nice. I also like the chicken noodles and again the portion is big, almost too big.

Large rice box with chicken great value for money. The food is delicious and friendly staff. Clean shop with places to sit and eat

Lovely staff always happy and the place is kept clean, great choice off food always tasty just watch out for the little add ons on the menu not as well highlighted as the main price I.e 45p extra for korean ham cheese tostie, why?
But certainly worth a visit.

Healthy, fresh and delicious food inspired by South-East Asia

A work day lunch favourite! Rice boxes are tasty, good sized portions, and they come with salad! They are full of flavor and very filling. Highly recommend the Malay Beef Rendang and  the Penang Chicken Curry Kapitan.

Love the food available at Nusa. Great selection of vegetarian soups and rice boxes. Fresh salads, fresh fruit and smoothies can be found in the fridge. Now open for breakfast so can start the day well too.

I always get the beef rendang here, and the small box is enough to fill one up. Great takeaway.

Had the schezhuan chicken noodles. They were pre packed so my order was ready when I asked for it.

The noodles were soggy and the chicken didn’t taste well.

Not recommended. It’s cheap but not very well cooked/presented.

Efficient to get your hot lunch within 5 mins. The beef in my rice box was not tender enough.

I love the vibe in this place. The staff are always super nice too. Great food. Sauce is nice with that extra spice. Wish the meat was halal as well as the chicken

The Choripan was extremely filling and so delicious. Will surely be back to try out their Chicken boxes!

EDIT: Since then, I have tried the Full Monty sandwich and the Chicken box as well. Both are awesome and the portion sizes are huge. Special shoutout to their green sauce.

Absolute gem of a place. Their signature dish (chicken box + 2 sides + green sauce) is amazing and the portion is very sizable. Make sure you have some caffeine after lunch or you'll fall asleep lol.

Delicious food (patacones) and nice and friendly staff 😉

Chicken, rice, veg, green sauce and red sauce - literally what is not to like!

Pizza Express

Tucked away just off Cheapside this is another great restaurant in the Pizza Express family. Service fast and efficient and always with a smile even at busy times. Pizza and wine always delicious, skipped dessert this time as yummy couldn't take any more food

I visited this establishment earlier this week for a reunion meal. It's really simple to book online and wasn't a problem that we had tastecards. You can get 2 for 1 on all starters, mains and desserts which is fantastic (Sunday to Thursday only). The atmosphere was fairly dead as it was a weekday which was perfect as it can get really busy so shouting becomes a must. Despite that the service was extremely slow and unattentive; our mains came before our starter plates had been removed despite being in situ for around 10minutes. The food is standard pizza express quality so pretty decent. There are toilets and easy access for those with disabilities. All in all a decent place to visit but do invest in a tastecard; we saved £51 on our bill by having 2.

Great for a Pizza Express. Very pleasant staff. Everything else is as you would expect it.

As always always decent food for a good price. Birthday prosecco was a bargain!!

Decent food, fairly priced and wonderful server.

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

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

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

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

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

Good restaurant with lovely staff and a great view to St Paul's cathedral. Went there for dinner and was served promptly despite being decently busy. Ordered the American hot leggera and was not disappointed. Good choice for a small dinner or if you are tracking your calories intake.

Amazing! Such attentive service from start to finish. Our server was so attentive and knew the speed required to serve young children. 
A lovely birthday lunch and a great atmosphere. We always visit this restaurant when in London! See you again soon!!

. Modern interior next to St. Paul's Cathedral, many tables and really delicious pizzas. We tried Romana's, which was super thin, crispy and delicious. Calamari rings had slightly too much dough, but was pretty yummy as well.
Also, apparently if you buy their frozen pizza's, you might find a 40% off voucher for eat in orders, which saved us a lot.
Recommend this place for sure.

Fantastic pizzas. Really enjoyed the chicken Porto and the Chefs special. First time trying the wrapped pizza and it was fantastic.

Food was pretty good and the drinks are what you'd expect from a restaurant like Pizza Express. The only downside to this experience was the service (wasn't too busy). Greeting us was great but towards the end it took the waitress over 30 minutes to get me the bill..

Gourmet Burger Kitchen is a British hamburger chain featuring a wide variety of gourmet burgers and salads. All panko-breaded chicken products are Halal and some lamb products may also be Halal. Check with individual stores for details. Nearest Tube: St Pauls. 

Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK)

The food was very reasonably priced (9-11 pounds per burger) and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the major Tom burger. The aged beef had a remarkable flavor and the fries/onion rings were fresh and enjoyable.

This place caught my eye after a long morning of touring. It was pretty crowded which was a good sign. I was greeted and taken to my seat and very hastily advised how to order-download the app and order with table number or go up to counter. As my internet would not load the app I had to pick up my gear as I could not see the counter and order that way as I was not going to leave belongings. Food was served within 15 minutes and while tasty seemed liked it had been waiting to be served for a while. The chips were not all that exciting. Other than that a good meal

Orders to the table in less than 10 minutes on a Friday busy lunch time. The best in class milk shake, burgers and skinny fries. Great location and top preferred by people working around and tourist visitors to St.Paul's.

Really good food with a nice vibe all around. A good place to have something familiar but you can get a little twist on it to make it into something new. There was very fast service too.

Amazing! My wife and I were looking for a good bite to eat near the cathedral, and decided to try out gourmet burger kitchen. Both of our burgers were juicy and delicious, and the truffle cheese fries were great as well. Highly recommend checking this place out! 
Additionally, the prices were very reasonable.

Institute of Islamic Jurisprudence has certified this establishment as offering one or more Halal options.  Per April 10, 2011 GBK website, the chicken used for burgers is Halal and is cooked in 100% rapeseed oil in a fryer specified for chicken only, however the grilled chicken used for salads and kebobs are cooked on the same grill as the bacon. The beef, lamb, and venison are not Halal. GBK does not offer halal Grilled Chicken as an option.
