Chilango Soho Delivery Kitchen

Nagras Zhatyma Sumit was incredible, first time here and she guided us through how to order and all of the options available! Food was lovely and fresh, and what a feed! Atmosphere was also ace 😄 would definitely come back!

Great atmosphere and staff is super friendly! Kudos to Anish, Rameez, and Nagaraj! They are very helpful and cheerful. Tacos were good! And this is review is coming from a Mexican 🤓😜

Ordered Keto Box from delivery for £14.50 :(
It was watery, tasteless, the beef is hard, and really small portion :(

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5
Absolutely loved the food and ambiance at this restaurant! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was polite, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. If you're a food lover looking for a great dining experience, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

@Balaji

Hi!
I just wanted to say the food was absolutely delicious — everything was fresh and full of flavor.
A big thank you to balaji, who served us with such kindness and professionalism. They really made the experience even better.
We'll definitely be coming back.

Honest Burgers Meard Street - Soho

Stopped by for lunch and had a really pleasant meal here! Their lunch menu starts at £9.95 for a burger, fries and drink, I got the chicken burger which was £11.45.

The chicken was cooked perfectly and the BBQ mayo made the burger extremely flavorful. I got some bacon gravy (£2.75) to dip the fries in and the gravy was delicious. The lemonade that came with the lunch deal was refreshing and a great accompaniment to the meal.

If you download their app, you get a welcome bonus of onion rings which were extremely tasty. Will definitely be back to try out their other burgers

We visited this place today and it was a lovely  experience.  The staff was kind and atmosphere really cosy.  We had burgers with chips. So tasty!!!  Check out my pictures :)  We will be back 🥰

Soho has many hidden gems and this in one of them being situated in an alley between Dean Street and Wardour Street. They offer a special deal until 4pm, a burger, fries and soft drink for £8.95. I had the smashed burger which was absolutely delicious as were the fries. The restaurant itself is not too large and has a nice, quaint feel about it (there is some exterior seating).This was my second visit in two weeks and the service has been excellent both times. They do sell alcohol and like the food it represents great value. This is certainly a great place to visit, I highly recommend it.

Had such a great experience at Honest Burgers! The service was amazing – the staff were so friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which really made the visit special. Everything felt relaxed yet professional, and they went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend – brilliant team and excellent service!

A favourite spot in London. Burgers are very tasty and done with excellence. They do a smash version of their burger which thought was the best. We ordered it but only photographed the "Honest Burger."
This was very good but the smash is better. Rosemary fries are amazing - done well, not oily but crispy and tasty.

All of the chicken in our restaurants is halal. If you would like to see our supplier’s halal certificate please ask your server when you arrive. Halal products are stored separately with strict processes in place to stop cross-contamination. Halal chicken items are handled with separate utensils and gloves. Fried halal chicken burgers and wings do not share fryers with any non-halal items. Grilled halal chicken breast burgers are cooked on a reserved area of the grill separated by a grill divider. We do not offer halal beef at any of our restaurants.

12 of our restaurants (full list below) offer a halal Buffalo fried chicken burger. We will be rolling this out to more restaurants in the near future so watch this space. You can find our Buffalo fried chicken burger at Bank, Cardiff, Finsbury Park, Liverpool St, Manchester, Portobello, Reading, South Kensington, Spitalfields, St Katherine Docks, Tooting and Watford.

Oorja Indian Dining

I must say that this was a good surprise. We don’t usually eat Indian food. It was a lovely way to spend the evening eating Indian food. I like that they had a light on the table and when you touched it, they knew that you were ready to order the food was delicious we had k
Dill herb salmon, mango shrimp, curry smoked black Dalla chickpea MASALA butter, chicken and rice this restaurant isright in the theater district. They’ve only been open six months. The Decorations of this restaurant is really nice. The service was excellent. We will return when our next trip to. I had great aprons that you put on when you’re having dinner makes a great picture  thought that was a really cute idea. Also, at the end they gave you this box with herbs in it. We tried it has an interesting taste

Went to Oorja for their pre-theatre menu, and I’ll get the good thing out of the way first (there’s only one) - the food tastes really good, and their curries and starters have tons of flavour. That’s all!

What spoils the experience is their service, with the staff’s general apathy and lack of interest in doing their job (for a 12.5% service charge that too). They seated us at an unprepared table - missing napkins and the table lamp (which customers must switch to call for service). We sat for 20 mins with no service, waiting for the menu, or being asked for water. We looked around and figured we were missing the lamp, and we had to grab one from an empty table nearby. Ironically, staff keep walking around to fix small bits-and-bobs on empty tables, but never really eye the customers.

Even after finally placing an order, the service didn’t improve - we had different people tend to us at different times, as if they lacked coordination with each other.

The kicker to all this was at the end, when we asked someone from management to have the service charge removed. We whispered to him to have the charge removed so as not to embarrass the staff. But he took it personally, and shouted across the resto to his staff “hey remove the service charge and give this bill” - almost in a petty attempt to embarrass us. He had no questions to us to enquire what went wrong or what could be improved. Good luck showing that attitude.

Overall, felt like the place was run by petty, rude, amateur and unprofessional people (as also evidenced by some of their other confrontational responses to low-rated Google reviews). And this attitude flows through to the staff.

Right after we paid, one of the waiters promptly came and asked us to leave as they have another booking. They didn’t seem to care for the 20 mins we waited for the menus, or the time we waited for each of our courses.

We were looking for a highly rated Indian food experience. We were overwhelmed by the Dishoon line and found this amazing place and came in based on its rating. All I can say is WOW. The flavors, the service, the atmosphere, the cleanliness… everything was a 5 from us. I cannot even tell you what was my favorite because all of it was beyond delicious. Lovpreet took incredible care of us and guided us through a unique and flavorful journey via the menu. Just do the chef’s choice. You won’t be disappointed and you definitely get a lot of food, so come hungry. Also get a Masala chai tea. Ah-mazing.

This was quite possibly our best meal in London. Everything at this restaurant was top-notch and the staff made us feel very welcome. There is a light on the table that you turn on when you need a server’s attention And the service was great. Cocktails also very good and the price was reasonable considering the quality of the food. Give this place a try for sure.

Excellent- fully recommend. We have been to Dishoom the last few times we have visited London, but Oorja far surpassed this. Beautiful food, lovely service (thank you Monica) and a wonderful  (less noisy and hectic) atmosphere. We had the theatre menu- very good portions and a lovely mix. Thank you very much- we will visit next time we come to the city.

Oorja

Buns From Home

These are the tastiest buns I have tried. The outside is like a sweet crispy but soft croissant like, and the filling can vary but the chocolate custard bun & dubai chocolate bun are the best. They are very big and filling and I can’t finish in one go, however, they are so worth every penny. Highly recommend this place - 10/10!

A local friend recommended their bakes, and I tried their cinnamon bun. It’s decent overall, and I appreciate that it doesn’t come with glazed.

While the bun is good, I’m giving it a lower overall rating because the staff isn’t hospitable. This definitely isn’t the best bun I’ve tried.

Had the Dubai chocolate as the Tiramisu had been off the menu the entire season. If you like a lot of cream and bold flavours in a bed of crispy flaky awesomeness, then this for you. I loved it, though this was the larger model and even for a cream fiend this was too much in one seating. More for later.
For London, the area,, and the generosity of the filling, this is actually reasonably priced.

Went to one of these stores to try the buns! There were lots of different flavours to choose from, both savoury and sweet! We tried the raspberry cheesecake bun and it was delicious! Very big and a lot of filling. A bit pricey but not too bad. I’d like to try chocolate or pistachio next! Recommend 5/5

It was a great first experience at Buns from home -our server Mateo was funny, friendly and very informed about the different products. He explained which flavours might suit our palette which made choosing easy. The buns (cheesecake; chocolate custard; chocolate hazelnut) were devoured with joy.

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. 

The BEST Seafood Hot Plate 🙌🏽
We popped into the London Bridge Branch of Rosa’s Thai after work for a quick dinner. We were really impressed with the food, especially the Calamari, which was light and crispy. We also got the Chicken Wings which weren’t bad. For mains we asked for the Grilled Steak Strips and Seafood Hot Plate. Both were delicious; we requested the steak be cooked to a medium so it wasn’t chewy, and it was cooked perfectly. The Seafood Hot Plate was amazing 🤤. A mixture of prawns, mussels, calamari and veg, drenched in a yummy spicy sauce. Customer service was also excellent, our waitress really went the extra mile to ensure we were having a good time and enjoying the food! 👌🏽
Settings: 6.5/10
Food: 9/10
Service: 8.5/10
Overall: 8/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Rosa's Soho on Instagram

Amazingly I'd never actually been to @rosasthaicafe before. Well, now I have. Had some nice Thai food here, pictured is the beef stir fry and the famous prawn pad thai .

A simple and casual place with good food and vibes. I ate at the Carnaby location, but they have serveral around town. .

The chicken and beef are halal here. There is pork, but its limited to 2 dishes and cooked separately .

I paid for my meal in full.

@halalfoodguy's review of Rosa's Soho on Instagram

Rosa's Thai Soho

Very busy little restaurant that serves decent food. The pad thai was a let down and wasn't really authentic compared to what you would get in Thailand.
Spring rolls were crunchy and delicious. Also ordered the duck curry - rich flavor with a good spice kick!
I also ordered the signature drink - can't remember what it was called but was a red colored drink. Did not like it at all as it tasted of cough syrup!
Would I come back, probably not.

had a wonderful time here. we ordered a lot and tried all their forms of fried rice (chicken, prawn & vegetarian), and loved them all. my favourite was their fish curry and their beef curry–absolute best! their spring rolls were a bit bland, but it tasted good regardless, and i enjoyed everything else!

plus: the waiters were sooooo nice and friendly! 10/10 would come again.

I had dinner here last night with a few friends, and the service was excellent. Our waiter sonam was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. He gave great recommendations, made sure our drinks were always full, and handled everything with a smile. It really made our evening more enjoyable. Huge thanks to the team—I’ll definitely be back!

Rosa’s Thai was cosy and the food was amazing! Not super spicy and so flavourful! We had fried chicken wings, Thai calamari and the pad sew with prawns and Hannah was an amazing server. Will definitely be back to try everything on the menu! 🥰

The food is excellent and the  flavors harmonized very well. It is definitely one my favorite Thai restaurants that I’ve visited. We received outstanding and friendly service from Pare and we’ll be missing the food from here!

Our chicken and beef across all stores is Halal.

Koya Japanese Restaurant Soho

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Highly recommended! My favourite is pork noodles, pork belly, mushrooms, seaweed plum wine and prawn tempura

I think there was only counter seating inside and two tables outside. I was trying to rest my tired stomach after a recent disordered diet (pre-trip binge eating) and needed some real Japanese food, so I think I was right to come here.
I ordered mini udon soup.
The soup was light in color and flavorful.It was very tasty and warmed my body and soul.

Very popular. Some of the udon noodles were a little bland, but I think that’s authentic.
Belly pork was fantastic.
Service was excellent.
Worth another try n

Went and had nice udon. Food was amazing. Authentic food and vibes.

Although the service was a bit mixed experience. After we paid, they hold us off. We waited at the entrance for few minutes, wondering what went wrong. They said we paid the correct amount but the waiter put it to the wrong table. So not our fault and we paid extra for some reasons (should be £72 but was asked £74). The one who paid extra was offered tea, but we were in a hurry so we declined. Thus low service rating. Maybe just one off.

I came here for the Japanese breakfast and it did not dissapoint.
I do have to say maybe they can be more generous with the pickles, for the price of almost £17 the dish could have done with a bit of those. Rice potion generous. Fish delicious. Miso soup rich and soothing.
My friend had the trout special and it was lacking a bit of flavour (he is japanese) but he did speak with the staff there and i hope his feedback will help the place elevate their authenticity. 😇
Atmosphere is really nice to see the chefs at work and makes you even hungrier. 🤭

Koya

JAMAICA PATTY CO.

The patties themselves are really good – the pastry is light, flaky, and well-baked, and the fillings are rich, flavourful, and nicely seasoned. If you’re looking for authentic taste, the food definitely delivers.

Unfortunately, the experience is let down by the staff. They come across as miserable and unfriendly, with no smiles or warmth. I found them unhelpful, and it felt like serving customers was a chore rather than something they wanted to do.

I attending a kiosk on the canary wharf.

Overall: excellent patties, but the customer service really needs improving

Maybe the first image speaks for itself. The second image is after I squished the contents to make it a bit more appetising. Generally fine and tasty, like sausage meat in some pastry. For a better but similar thing try a curry puff from old Chang kee down the road.

Super tasty Jamaican patty! Was craving a late afternoon snack and this absolutely hit the spot. Flakey and crunchy on the outside, and absolutely savory and delicious on the inside. Whether you’re looking for a snack, breakfast, or a heartier meal, I think this is a gem of Covent Garden. Next time I’m around, I’ll be back to try more of the flavors

We ordered the vegan “soya” patties. Oh my goodness, outstanding flavor and perfect crust! I will definitely go back before I leave London. Likely more than once.😆

Myself and children finally got to try a chicken patty and it was worth the travelling that day. We have never had a patty like this ever. The pastry was so unique the flavour of it, then the chicken truly seasoned and beautifully cooked. You could taste the love. I will be in regular now. Oooo the best patty I have had in London ever. 10/10

Halal excluding the Beef, Spicy Beef and Curried Goat patties.

Mint Leaf Restaurant & Bar

I came with my wife, the cocktails are excellent and the food was even better. They take an interesting take on Indian with ingredients like deer, rabbit and crab. Portions are generous and all dishes have a nice heat.

One of the best cocktail bar I’ve ever been! Especially I would recognise Peter, a very talented bartender, who is the most friendliest of all! Every spent money is worth at this place!  10/10

Great Indian food and cocktails in a cool environment similar to Hakkasan.

High end fine dining Indian Restaurant.
I’ve better had better as food lacked flavour!

Gladi experienced it and out of the way.

One of the best indian restaurants in london. Tastecard makes it affordable

Sticks'n'Sushi

Traveling different countries and living in a coastal town where seafood is fresh and plentiful, this happened to be the absolute best sushi we have ever had.

Fresh.creative.thoughtful.flavorful.

We opted for the Full House to get a variety taste. From the vegetarian role that we would have never anticipated was vegetarian to a seaweed salad. Tuna tartare appetizer also, yum. Our food was incredible.

Would recommend and have told our stateside friends before returning home about this place. Wonderfully crafted sushi that tastes amazing without the added sauces.

I had the pleasure of dining here yesterday and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The staff went above and beyond – attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel cared for throughout the evening.

The food was outstanding – the sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish, from starters to dessert, was carefully prepared and delicious. The drinks complemented the meal perfectly, and finishing with dessert was the cherry on top of a wonderful evening.

It’s rare to find a place where everything – food, service, and atmosphere – comes together so flawlessly. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

Food: we ordered a starter made of seaweed, fish egg and crab meat, salmon sashimi, mini selection of sushi, and scallop skewers and Iberian pork skewers. Honestly I love all of them, fresh ingredients, well made and presented, and some of them are even quite creative.

Especially enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, quite modern and cozy. We visited at Friday night, it was quite busy but still not felt too noisy or crowded.

Sticks’n’Sushi in Covent Garden has a sleek vibe with a terrace for outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the sashimi really stood out for its freshness. Sushi was good, though not a standout, while the crispy fried chicken hit the spot. The skewers, however, were a bit too sweet and heavy on the sauce for my taste. Overall, a solid choice if you’re after stylish sushi in central London.

A truly delightful dining experience!
The Jungle Salad was exquisite - a vibrant mix of crisp greens topped with perfectly grilled salmon, succulent prawns, and tender seared tuna. Every bite was a fresh, flavorful surprise. The Kinoko Korokke (mushroom croquettes) were another standout - crispy on the outside, rich and earthy inside, elevated beautifully by the silky miso aioli and truffle dust.
The service was warm and attentive.  I’m already looking forward to my next visit at SticksNSushi!

We do have a couple of Halal options, mostly our chicken thighs, however, we must clarify that we grill everything in one grill/fryer and guarantee there will not be cross contamination. No alcohol goes in to our rice (no Mirin) but our sauces might have traces. This is the case for all our restaurants.

Mukbang Pocha

My first time trying Korean Fried Chicken, it was absolutely delicious!

We shared the ‘triple chicken selects’. Be warned the fire chicken is exactly what it says! 🥵

The staff were wonderful! So helpful and considerate. Will be back again to try different dishes!

Thank you for a great first visit!

Really enjoyed eating here. Food was good and reasonably priced esp for London!

Service was great and food came quickly.

The music wasn’t too loud unlike other places!!

Freddos were given when the bill came so a lovely surprise!

We visited Mukbang Pocha twice, first on 8/8 with five people, and again on 15/8 with three people because we enjoyed it so much the first time. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. Although we didn’t have a reservation, we were seated straight away on our first visit, and waited about 15 minutes the second time, which was no issue at all, the food was worth it! However, you can check their website if you want to reserve a table or to check the menu. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional, especially Neha, who looked after us on both visits and made the experience even more enjoyable, she was spectacular!

The food was absolutely delicious and halal-friendly (apart from a few pork dishes, which are clearly marked on the menu). We ordered a lot, and everything was fantastic. Our favourites were the Rose Tteokbokki (£14.90), Korean Fried Chicken (15 pieces, you can mix 3 flavours, our favourites were the Honey Soy and Cheese Onion flavours, £29.99), Kimchi Seafood Pancake (£15), and Seafood Soondubu Jjigae (£14). We also had the Rose Tteokbokki Hot Pot (£39), which was ideal for three people and very filling. Every dish was a 5/5, tasty, generous portions, and great value for money.

On our second visit, a nearby table was quite loud, but the staff handled it really well. They kept apologising (even though it wasn’t their fault) and kindly gave us free chocolates and cucumber banchan as a kind gesture. The service, food quality, and pricing all exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Mukbang Pocha, and we’ll definitely be returning! Huge thanks again to Neha for the warm and thoughtful service!

Small group of us came here on  Saturday afternoon. There was a really nice calm atmosphere. It wasn't too busy which was nice. The food was absolutely amazing, and so wa the service. I'd definitely come back here again!

Hello, I ate at this restaurant a couple days ago. It was really delicious. The staff were sweet, kind and friendmy and the service was really quick, we had our food around 10 mins after ordering
My friend ordered the ramen and I got the beef bulgogi. Most things were halal so I had a wide range to choose from.
We really enjoyed the atmosphere.
The food was affordable but so tasty.
I will absolutely return here soon 😊
Definitely recommend, 10/10 :)

Our halal chicken and beef options are clearly labelled in our menu.

Want to know the Best Halal places to eat in Covent Garden? We've got you covered!

Top Brunch spot:
@applebuttercafe has a queue of eager diners trying to get their taste buds wrapped around gorgeous dishes such as 'Truffle Scrambled Eggs' or 'Wagyu Beef Burger'. Full Halal Food Menu.

Top Ice Cream spot:
@darlishicecream are back at Covent Garden, serving up some stunning unique flavours of ice cream. Saffron Rose is AMAZING! Plus I love their Sour Cherry.

Top Burger spot:
At long last @honestburgers finally has Halal chicken across all their brunches, and the chicken is damn good. Succulent and flavoursome chicken burgers that won't leave you feeling heavy like some burgers might.

@halal_chronicles's review of Apple Butter Cafe Covent Garden on Instagram

Apple Butter Cafe

Honestly it is a very nice place where you can take an excellent breakfast as well as amazing coffee. The decoration is another great thing available here. The overall atmosphere is very great. The variety of food is also another excellent choice. From all aspects I have enjoyed a lot of eating here. I strongly recommend to have a trial and live the experience. One more important point that the whole staff are so friendly.

The coffee is rich and smooth, the pastries are delicious, and the atmosphere is so cozy. The baristas really know their craft — my latte art was picture-perfect. Easily one of my favorite cafés in town!

Popped into Apple Butter in Covent Garden the other day and luckily the queue wasn’t too bad. We only waited around 20 minutes which is pretty decent for that area. The interior is really nice and has a cosy vibe. Atmosphere was alright, nothing too exciting but it felt comfortable.

The food was okay. Not amazing, not awful, just kind of mid. Some things looked better than they tasted, but it wasn’t bad. Service was a bit slow and it was hard to get the attention of the staff at times. They also didn’t change our cutlery when we switched from savoury to sweet, which felt like a small thing they could’ve paid more attention to.

Overall though, it was a pleasant experience. Worth a visit if you’re nearby and want a chill place to hang out.

Insta worthy cafe serving all day breakfast, including fluffy stacks of pancakes.
The menu covers all your breakfast favourites. The drinks menu is extensive with a great range of teas and coffees.
The cafe opens at 9am, this is the time to get there if you don't want to wait. The queue started at about 09.30.
Service is friendly and quick.

I've heard a lot about this place, and I was really excited to give it a try. We were lucky to get a table as soon as we arrived, and the staff welcomed us warmly. We ordered Turkish eggs, togarashi scrambled eggs, orange juice, V60, and their famous pancakes 🥞! Although the dough was nothing like traditional pancakes, it was super soft and creamy! The toppings were great too (that week's flavor was salted caramel and banana). Overall, our experience was fantastic, and it was totally worth the wait, if there was any!

Macellaio RC Soho - Teatro della carne

Great vibe. Sat at the bar and enjoyed good recommendations and conversation with  cheff Bishal, great, friendly service from Amrutha and Alex. Steak cooked to perfection; as weee all the sides. The tiramisu was an excellent afters, as was the grapa digestive. An overall great experience. We’ll be back!

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious — the meat was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the pasta dishes were just incredible. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and served with care. THANKS TO VITO he was really kind! A real taste of Italy! Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back! And they have a halal menu and normal menu that was really good thinking ! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼❤️

Despite this being a steak house, I felt like pasta so ordered the Carbonara, while my guests had the Trofie al Pest and the ravioli ragu, and we were not disappointed.  Tasty, hot and nice portions.  The service from Vito? was exceptional: friendly, efficient and very affable. While we were not going to a show that evening, we asked if we were which I suspect they would have got us out on time.  Prices are appropriate for the theatre district, but are a little higher than for other locations which is to be expected.  Beautiful looking restaurant, nice time.

It was my first time visiting London and this restaurant made the trip even more special. The food was already delicious, but thanks to Vito’s kindness and warm service, everything tasted even better. He made me feel truly welcome, and we had such an enjoyable time. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Vito’s amazing hospitality!

A solid 4, the meat on bone was pretty good but not the best in London for that price.

We spent £450 between three of us and it felt quite a bit more for what we could get somewhere else.

Service was a little spotty.

Desserts were disappointing.

Let's end on a high though, the candlelit beef dripping and bread starter was incredible, and the service was great when we were noticed.

Ask for a halal menu at our Soho and South Kensington locations only.

YORI Korean Restaurant (Covent Garden)

Went there for dinner, had lovely food and the service was great. I had vegan bibimbap with tofu, the scallion pancake, we shared some japchae and drinks. All came to about 40£ per person. Would go again

We had such an amazing evening for my birthday here this evening Hsu and Kia were incredible changing the playlist to suit my favourite songs and constantly wishing me a happy birthday! Food was incredible! Super service will be back!

Disappointed with the quality compared to the other Korean restaurants we tried last week. It might be because it’s a chain, so perhaps expectations shouldn’t be too high. Not terrible, but definitely underwhelming.

We got the Rose seafood fried udon (for 2 people) and Rose Tteokbokki both were good but had an intense flavour. Overall I liked the restaurant but the interaction with the staff is limited because you order via a QR code. The food came out fairly quickly but the main problem for me was the lack of space we were very close to the tables around us so much so it felt like we were sharing a table. Its a small place but I think maybe the spacing could be improved.

It’s pretty good!

The seafood pancake, GalBi Tang and quite good, but the fried chicken batter was a bit too much for my liking, and the egg fried rice was a tad too oily.

Overall it’s still pretty good and service and atmosphere is good.

Homeslice Neal's Yard

Great rustic restaurant with absolutely delicious pizzas and a very nice and cozy environment. Special thanks to Ms. Sally, Ms. Scarlet, and Mr. Louis, who provided very friendly and professional service.
Highly recommended!

The pizza was ok, nothing that amazing like the reviews really, I think it’s over priced for £5+ for a very thin SLICE of pizza, I paid £11 for two slices and can’t say it was really worth that all, we had the margarita and it had hardly any cheese on, pretty much bread with tomato sauce.

The staff were nice and we managed to get a nice seat out the front which made it worth it, after walking around London for hours.

My friend who used to live in London recommended this place, and it was SO good! I'm usually not a big fan of pizza, and there's only one kind pizza that I really loved.. but now I have two!
We tried all the slice pizzas and they were all great, but margherita was my favorite!

Wanted to visit this place for so long and it was so disappointing. Wouldn’t recommend! Pizza was lacking in flavour for both halves of the 18 inch pizza and lacked a lot of cheese . Service was really poor and unfriendly , super short with us and just lacked any personality. As it was carnival and early in the evening would have expected service and food to be a lot better.

Probably the best pizzas i’ve ever had in my life. Gorgeous crust and great ingredients making a wonderful classic pizza.

Quite quirky and weird pizzas, not sure about some of the combinations, doesn’t make me too interested in trying some of them.

Cozy atmosphere and decor, main issue is that the tables are so small if you’re going for an entire pizza, we had to move things off the table to fit the pizza and our plates on it. but the pizza size does make it worth it.

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

With the school holidays in full swing, these are couple of the best places to eat in London that the kids will definitely enjoy.

The first of it's kind in London, the French Toast cafe @crome.london does some gorgeous sweet and savoury French Toast dishes. Plus you can also make your own Mocktails. What's not to love?!?

My favourite Halal Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant in China Town is @rasasayang_london. Everytime I visit, there's always a dish or two that blows my mind. Beef Rendang and the Chilli Prawns were gorgeous. Plus they have a limited time only "Singapore Food Festival Set Menu" for £29.95, with some of their best dishes.

Head down and enjoy the sun and the good food London has to offer.

Rasa Sayang Restaurant

Best Malaysian food in town
From the queue outside the restaurant at dinner time, you know it has to be good. True to that, we were not disappointed and came back again and again to try different dishes.

Though we waited 8-9min for a table at dinner time, the turnover was very quick. We were in and out in about 30min. No queue at lunch. All staff were friendly and attentive. Frequently checked in if all is well. When we were queuing, staff also came out frequently to ensure managing expectation and update on estimated wait time. He told us roughly 20min but we got a table (by window) within 10.

Satay, nasi lemak, Singapore chili prawn with deep fried buns, beef rendang, coconut rice, roti, teh tarik. Every dish was authentic and delicious as it should!!

We had a pleasant experience at Rasa Sayang. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered the Kon Lee Mee with Hainanese chicken and the beef rendang with egg fried rice. Very delicious meal. The Kon Lee Mee with the Hainanese chicken was absolutely amazing, would highly recommend. The chicken was soft, tender and poached infused in the soy sauce which gave an amazing flavour. Would deffo come back and try other items on the menu!

Just visited this Singaporean restaurant in Chinatown for the first time, and I really liked it! To be honest, I think it’s better than Singapulah, which is just across the street.

My favourite dish was the seafood war tan hor — similar to Hong Kong–style dry-fried rice noodles, but with a seafood-based gravy. It was really generous with ingredients (prawns, squid, and scallops), with a silky texture and a smoky flavour👍

If you’re into laksa, theirs is also quite tasty, though my boyfriend felt it was missing some of the coconut fragrance he’s had elsewhere.

Lastly, if you’d like to try some special drinks, they also serve kopi-C (coffee with milk) and iced grass jelly. On the menu it’s listed as “Soya Milk with Cincau” — it took us a while to find it after seeing other customers order it 😂.

Total: ~£54 for 2 people (including 10% service charge).

I had heard a lot about this place; however failed to impress. Most food we ordered was bland and not even close to some other Malaysian restaurants we have been to.

The chicken soup noodles we ordered had no salt or seasoning inside.

Service is good, but it’s a quick meal place without much interaction. Hence the service charge is also not justified. I will pass next time.

I loved the food here! I tried the Beef Rendang from my friend’s order — it was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I had the Beef with Black Sauce myself, and I really enjoyed it too. Both dishes were full of taste and perfectly cooked. Highly recommended!

All our meats are halal. Our meat supplier is halal certified and we are a pork free restaurant.

Bao Buns have popped up and taken over, and what better place to try them than @bunsandbuns !
.
.
Located in the heart of Covent Garden, Buns and Buns provides a busy, but friendly atmosphere. We were very impressed with the food! The Ribe Eye Sandwich was juicy and nestled in scrumptious sourdough bread 👌🏽 We ordered the Mac Buns, a Chilli Thai Prawn Bun and a Wild Mushroom Bun. We couldn’t fault a single thing other than the patty in the Mac Bun was way smaller than the bun itself! However, they were still great; basically tasted like a healthier version of a cheese burger 🍔 As they are quite small, you can easily munch a few of these without feeling like you can’t move 🤰🏽The Rib Eye was also quite a small piece in the sandwich so Naimul was left with empty bread after a couple of bites 😂 I also want to mention that the Rasberry Mocktail and the Virgin Mojito 🍹were deliciously refreshing! So all in all, we are definite fans of Bao Buns and are now on a mission to find the restaurant that serves the best ones!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Buns and Buns Covent Garden on Instagram

I've had a lot of beef burgers in my life of being HFG but this secret (not on the menu) beef mini bao bun from @bunsandbuns was just amazing. It's small but packs so much flavour. I finished this with a few bites, but the flavour explosion on my tounge was out of this world, literally could taste different flavours jumping around in my mouth. So good. £7.50 but I'd rather eat 3 bites of this than 10 bites of a standard burger at the same price .

And yes, I know I need to use hand cream. 😂

@halalfoodguy's review of Buns and Buns Covent Garden on Instagram

Buns and Buns - The Collective

Nice setting in Covenant Garden.  Went with friends who had dined here and enjoyed it, in 2024.  Rotisserie chicken and fries were quite good.  The bao buns, shrimp and pork dumplings, smoked chicken noodle, and the shrimp noodles were disappointing.  Buns and dumplings seemed like a quality frozen item.  The shrimp noodles were heavily salted (2 of us ordered and sent back).  I ordered the mushroom noodles instead and was happy with them.  My friend went with the smoked chicken noodle dish and it too was very salty and the chicken had a flavor that didn't quite work.  I will say they were very accommodating about replacing the 2 shrimp noodles but no follow up on the new entrees.  The first server that approached us after sitting down asked if we were ready to ordered, we said no and she walked away.  I had to flag someone down to order drinks before ordering out appetizers and entrees.  It was disappointing for almost £50 per person.

Buns and Buns in Covent Garden is centrally located—and clearly priced accordingly. We ordered a £7 bottle of sparkling water, which came at room temperature on a nearly 30°C day. Only after asking did we get ice, which helped, but still… not what you’d expect at that price.
We also had two peach iced teas, four (relatively small) buns, and ordered truffle fries as a starter. The buns arrived and were okay—nothing special—but the fries never came. We watched tables that arrived after us get fries with their mains. When we asked, we were told ours were “ready now,” but by then we’d finished eating. Credit where it’s due: they offered to remove them from the bill.
Final bill: £60, including a surprise 15% service charge—for average food, warm water, and a missing starter.
And yes, the owner will now reply with something about "fair wages" (which should mean that you pay them accordingly, not the costumer), "skilled workers", "pricey location" and "high quality ingredients" as justification. That’s fine. But for the price, we expected a much better execution and experience.

Delicious Halal Spot in the Heart of Covent Garden!
Loved this place! Everything is Halal, which is a big plus. Located right in Covent Garden, it’s super convenient. They even have a kids’ menu, which makes it family-friendly. The bao was absolutely delicious — soft, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. Great food and great vibes. Will be coming back!

Can really only recommend the Pork belly buns. Their peking duck buns and the steak sandwich were alright but I'd say the pork belly buns were exceptional in comparison. Wouldn't come back for the latter two but the former I would.

Came on multiple occasions with different staff each time but they were always very attentive, helpful and nice.

The decor is nice.

Downside is that the food was quite pricey.

Great service! Friendly and comfortable place. I had the steak sandwich and a few cocktails of the bar. The bartender named Alona was very friendly and helped me to pick what drinks to have and recommended me the items of the menu. Nothing but smiles in this place! Only reason it's not 5 stars in food is course it wasn't elevated.

Steak and Chicken are both Halal. The Halal logo is printed on the menu beside Halal items. Pork served.

High-quality speciality cuts from around the world

Steak and Company - Piccadilly Circus

Fun eating experience.  The Hot Stone cooking at your table was interesting and entertaining.  It was nice to prepare your food just like you wanted it.  Dace, our server made great suggestions and her personable manner added to the enjoyment.  The food was delicious as were the cocktails.  The Sticky Toffee Pudding topped it all off.

We were looking for a steak place to try and we decided to come here.  The place isn’t anything fancy but was perfect for what we were wanting after a long day exploring London.  Our servers Daisy was the best. She explained how the hot stone experience worked and gave us some excellent suggestions when we ordered.  We had a few cocktails and cesar salads to start with and they were great. Now onto what really makes this place unique, the hot stone… they brought out our steaks already seared and ready to be brought up to our desired temperature.  We all had different styles of cooking, some of us sliced the steak and put it all on at once. Me I preferred to cook it one slice at a time. Pro tip - they will bring you a new hot stone if you ask.  The side were delicious too. This was a great experience and we had a great time together.

The most wonderful experience!
Francesco was the manager that welcomed us when we walked in to the restaurant, she showed us our table and sat us very comfortable the 6 of us. Dace was our waitress and she helped us through with the best dishes recommendations and drinks.
We tried the pork belly which was tender and crunchy at the same time for a perfect bite. We also tried the baked goat cheese which was delicious! The Carpaccio won the favorite of the night, it was absolutely amazing! Well everything really!
I definitely recommend to try also the tuna sliced steak which you get raw but can also cook a little bit on the hot stone as you like and there’s of course the speciality of the restaurant which is cooking the steak on the hot stones with a selection of flavor butters, mix of salts and very tasty sauces to accompanied the steak with.

My son and daughter wanted to eat at this restaurant.

We took a decent and enjoyable walk , and got attended to quickly and warmly.

The service is amazing and we got to ordering quickly.

We got served in due time, and I will admit the steak was nice but not out of this world.

The restaurant is very well furnished and comfortable.

Cost is on the high side.

The service at Steak and Company Piccadilly Circus was outstanding from start to finish — extremely attentive, polite, and professional. We felt truly welcomed and well taken care of throughout our visit.

The food was excellent — the steak was incredibly tender and flavorful. The cocktails were also top-notch and beautifully presented.

A huge thank you to Erika and her wonderful, caring team — you truly made our evening special.
If we could give 11 out of 10, we would! We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we visit England.

We have halal menu available in all our branches.

Madhu's of Mayfair

Madhus London offers a pleasant dining experience. The food is well-prepared, flavourful, and nicely presented. The afternoon tea is a lovely touch - well thought out, with a good balance of traditional and Indian-inspired flavours. The interior is incredibly beautiful, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and refined atmosphere. Service is professional and efficient, and a special mention goes to Neha, who was exceptionally kind and attentive throughout the visit. It’s a good place for anyone who appreciates quality Indian cuisine served with attention to detail. ✨

Amazing experience! The restaurant is located right in the heart of London, which makes it super convenient and adds to the lively atmosphere. The interior is beautifully designed — stylish yet cozy. The service was outstanding, with staff who were friendly, attentive, and professional. The signature cocktails are truly exceptional — creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. Every detail, from the ambiance to the flavours, felt carefully thought out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special evening out in London!

I had the non-vegetarian thali at Madhu’s of Mayfair and it was absolutely outstanding. Every dish on the platter was bursting with authentic flavor perfectly spiced, beautifully presented. The meats were tender and cooked to perfection, and the variety on the thali made it a truly satisfying meal.

The ambiance is elegant and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers both top-tier food and a great dining experience, but Madhu’s really does. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy refined Indian cuisine in Mayfair!

Where do I begin a Madhu’s Mayfair is a must for anyone who appreciates good food and unparalleled hospitality. We’d waited several years for the opportunity to go and in all honesty it was worth the wait.
It’s not your run of the mill restaurant from the moment you enter you are star struck by the ambience. It’s as if you are in the grand hall of a stately home.
The menu has Madhu’s signature dishes alongside those you would immediately recognise from a good restaurant.
The food is excellent flavoursome (our honest suggestion is you avoid eating the whole day prior to going).
We opted for the Group Set Menu a combination of both vegetarian and meat dishes. It’s a feast!
Vinod the restaurant manager and his colleagues are excellent hosts. Attentive, jovial, friendly, polite and knowledgeable.
The quality and quality of food was such that despite taking a break we couldn’t finish it all !
Highly recommend this place not often if ever I’ve recommended a restaurant. This is how highly I rate it.
Vinod and his team exemplify good customer service by a country mile

Stopped by Madhu’s of Mayfair for lunch and was blown away by both the quality of the food and the impeccable service. Everything felt premium yet welcoming. The team were attentive without being intrusive, and the flavours were outstanding — every dish was beautifully presented. Easily one of the best Indian dining experiences in London. Highly recommend!

Madhu's

French Toast Heaven at Christopher’s, as always! 🙌🏽 This time we decided to order the Warm Brioche French Toast, alongside our usual Chocolate French Toast 🍫 For anyone who finds the latter a bit too rich and difficult to finish (like me!) we highly recommend the Warm Brioche! It was delectable, especially when soggy with Maple Syrup and Mascarpone 🤤 the Roasted Peaches added a sweet but slightly sour touch 🍑 It wasn’t too filling and definitely wasn’t heavy either, so has now become my go-to at Christopher’s!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Christopher's Covent Garden on Instagram

A dish that doesn't require an introduction.. But I'll give it one. The Chocolate Brioche Toast from @christopherswc2 one of the most instagramable dishes out there! Happy Friday!

@halalfoodguy's review of Christopher's Covent Garden on Instagram

Dubbed as one of London’s Best French Toasts spots ~ Christopher’s is one you must check out!

Popped back here after what feels like forever and the French Toast did not disappoint 🤤 At £16 a portion, make sure you to share as it’s a BIG portion! We ordered x1 Milk Chocolate and x1 Dark Chocolate French Toast ✨ @christopherswc2 #frenchtoast #christophers

@londonfoodjourney's review of Christopher's on Instagram

Christopher's

Christopher's in Covent Garden is fantastic for any occasion. I celebrated my birthday there, and the atmosphere was buzzing and classy.
The food was genuinely awesome. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the standout had to be the French toast with ice cream. It was the perfect, unforgettable birthday treat – rich, decadent, and utterly irresistible. Seriously, if you go, save room for it!

Overall, Christopher's provided a brilliant birthday experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and that amazing French toast! We'll definitely be back!

Went here for Sunday brunch. They have a different menu for Sunday brunch. The preparation is quite good and the potion size is decent. Enjoyed the fried chicken waffles. They gave us the centre table which is perfect for a group of 6. You have to order one mains per person

Christopher’s French toast is absolutely divine, seriously the best in London. I tried their Dubai style one too and it was a really cool twist that worked perfectly. Definitely a must try spot if you’re into amazing treats!

Ordered prawn taco, crab linguine, lamb and chocolate brioche french toast. All food was excellent and restaurant ambience lovely at nighttime. Though the signature french toast was underwhelming and didn't live up to expectations. I would improve the ice cream quality.

Absolutely stunning building 🤩 and lovely hostess who greeted us. Food was also delicious - though I would say for the cost we would’ve expected more fruit/toppings. We also asked for tap water and were given a £6 bottle, and £6.50 for an iced latte seems a bit steep, even for London! 😅

On our À La Carte menu we have the Wagyu Burger and the Australian Wagyu Rump Steak. On the Bar Menu we have the Lamb Wrap and Wagyu Burger. On the Brunch Menu, we have the Wagyu Burger and the Steak and Eggs. If you would like to preorder halal lamb we ask for 48 hours notice and we take card details to secure the booking. Please call or email to book. 

Fatt Pundit

I went to Fatt Pundit after seeing so many great reviews and was looking forward to it. The food was tasty and the wine went really well. Service was friendly and helpful too.

For me though, the whole experience felt more average than amazing. The atmosphere was fine but nothing special, and the toilets really need updating – they let the place down.

Overall, I’d say it was good but not quite what I was expecting. I’d probably go again, but with lower expectations next time.

As a fan of asian fusion cuisine I was surprised by how exquisitely good every dish looked and tasted while at a fairly adequate price. The ambience was relaxing and both Geet and Alex were very attentive towards our needs for refills, checking if we were pleased with the food and although it was a busy Friday, service was as fast as it was of top quality. Highly recommend for everyone that loves asian food and wishes to try Kolkata cuisine.

Fantastic service by the staff - Raj and Rutul, friendly and answered any questions we had. It was my birthday and I was surprised with a lovely candle and decoration on my desert. Food was 10/10
Will definitely be visiting again and recommending to others!!

Amazing food and service! They have a lovely halal menu and the staff are great! The chicken Szechuan noodles were perfect, momos were cooked to perfection and the Bombay chilly prawns were to die for! Lollypop chicken was 10/10, well seasoned and spicy. Staff were amazing! Shout out to Nihal and Alex- they were just great!!  they even let us bedazzle their phones with stickers- great service of food and super lovely!

Book in advance!
This is one of my favorite places to eat in London. The food and drinks are both so flavorful and the service is always top knotch. The portions are meant to be shared between table guests. Everytime I'm in london I make a reservation.
We had:
Crackling spinach
Szechuan honey duck
Lollipop chicken
Bing bread
Burnt ginger rice
Dessert:
Snowflake Gelato sizzling brownie
Drinks:
White tiger
Hakka Garden (my favorite)

An extra thanks to our server Nihal.

A lot of our dishes are halal. Please ask a member of staff to assist you when placing your order.

Farzi London

Food and service were nice.
The drinks were much better! Lovely creative flavours.

There wasn't anything that stood out really, it was a lovely Indian restaurant serving good Indian food. If that's what you're after then it's a comfortable option.

It missed the Wow Feeling at this brilliant location.

Might go back if I'm looking for comfort food.

We had perfect dinner at Farzi, not for the first time.
The food is excellent and many gluten free and vegeterian options, clearly marked in allergen menu.
Joel, our waitress was super helpful and minded our food restrictions throughout the evening.
We especially liked spinach chaat, cauliflower and the palak paneer. The lassi options were great too!
Thank you!

We stopped by for couple of drinks and appetizers before the show. They were very nice to accommodate us quickly and made sure we were served fast. Just a lovely place with good food.

We went for a wedding anniversary dinner. The staff were super friendly and charming from the beginning to the end. The portions were very good sized and all of them tasted great. We couldn’t fault anything. The server also gave us an anniversary card signed by the restaurant staff which was a sweet touch. An outstanding experience from start to finish on our special day. Definitely will be back!

Overall, was a wonderful dinner experience. We did the Taste of Farzi meal with a small bite to start, 3 starters, and a main course. Everything was delicious and came out well timed. Pranav was a great server - very attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed and that the food was prepared well. The restaurant itself is modern and trendy with low mood lighting that sets the tables in a warm glow. The jazz music in the background adds to the warm atmosphere and lively conversations. Definitely recommend making a stop!

Food: For starters, we opted for the Calamari Fry and we wern’t disappointed; spicy, tangy and full of flavour. The Masala Dosa was also exceptionally tasty and so was the Lamb Shank Kari. The meat fell off the bone beautifully. The item we most recommend is the Mango Slush, we honestly could’ve had a whole jug 🤤

@twopeasfoodies's review of Hoppers Soho on Instagram

Revisited @hopperslondon in Wigmore St for a meal with the new family as my bro got married so he and his wife treated us .

I wasn't that hungry as I just had breakfast so only had a little bit of a few dishes. The best thing was definitely the lamb shank curry (£16) good deep flavours with a touch of sweetness .

They have changed up the menu as well so there's new items. Other recommendations are the chicken wings and the devilish squid .

We had the private dining area but i wasn't too impressed with the service, nothing major just gaps in food arriving without explanation and having to ask 3 times to refill water is not ideal. So I asked for the service charge to be removed. Never be shy in asking for service charge which was £20 to be removed if it was up to standard. #halalfoodguytip

@halalfoodguy's review of Hoppers Soho on Instagram

Hoppers Soho

We came in without a reservation, started at the bar, and eased into the evening with a Paloma and the cheekily named Arrack Attack — built on Sri Lanka’s own arrack, a spirit distilled from coconut or toddy palm.

From there, the namesake dishes took center stage. A hopper is not an insect (LOL, I am vegetarian) but a fermented rice-and-coconut crêpe, thin and bowl-shaped with crisp edges. Its counterpart, the string hopper, presses the same batter into delicate noodles. We had ours with kiri hodi, a coconut milk curry, alongside the house set of chutneys and sambols: coconut, tomato, pol (coconut sambol), and seeni (caramelised onion). Each brought a different register of spice, sweetness, or coolness — designed to be mixed, matched, and layered.

The veg kothu parotta — flatbread chopped and wok-tossed with vegetables and heady Sri Lankan spices — stole the show, while a dosa added its crisp, savory bite.

It’s easy to see why Hoppers has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand nod year after year: the food doesn’t chase novelty, it delivers consistency, character, and a rare taste of Sri Lanka in London.

Phenomenal food and service at Hopper’s. We went for a birthday celebration and everything we are was superb, especially the lamb biryani and chicken curry. They even gave us a free dessert which was incredibly sweet. Would 1000% recommend to anyone, and go again anytime!

Well that time the lamp meet , some of the pieces can't chewed. So the manager changed as to a chicken Kari. But also the pieces were included some signs of un perfect taking care. The hopper and the sauces was ok and tasty.

Amazing dining experience throughout. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. I had the set menu experience which was fantastic value for money that had a bit of everything!

This soho restaurant has been around for a while and I have been once before. Decided to order the Experience Menu so got a chickpea salad (spiced with chillies and what looked and tasted like guacamole!), mutton rolls (spicy with minced meat like a kofta), hot butter squid (deep fried in spicy batter), chicken kari (a large slab of chicken in a butter sauce), jiggery lamb kari (embellished with red chillies and a dark spicy sauce), hopper (like a cross between a poppadom and a dosa and bowl shaped - soft and tasty), pilau rice and various sauces and chutneys. I finished it all with a crunchy chocolate dessert (deep cocoa flavours with chopped nut topping). The house wine was good too.
