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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

@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.

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 🫶

Full English breakfast with a Bangladeshi twist

🔴 @momlette__ 🔴 Located In Bricklane 
.
A new cafe serving bengali street food style eggs, Classic British style eggs with Bengali twist, all served on a caramboard table. The focus here is eggs. The main thing to get this concept correct is serving good quality eggs. They definitely got that spot on after seeing they using the good quality cacklebean eggs
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Eggs Royale (£10.95)
🔳 Momlette (£8.95)
🔳 Half English (£10.95)
🔳 Scrambled Momlette (£6.95)
🔳 Cronut (£3.50)
.
Momlette is their signature dish which is a omlette cooked with spices and mustard in a parata. I loved how it was the perfect balance of spice and nice texture of the eggs. Really good on the go kinda wrap
.
Half English meaning half English style, half desi. Your traditional breakfast with parata. Eggs cooked perfectly and the main thing here was the sausages. This was good quality sausage which had spices infused. Which was new to me. Really liked the sausages. 
.
Scrambled eggs on toast again cooked perfectly. With desi spices and herbs. If you’re bored of plain scrambled eggs defo try this. The best dish for me was egg Benedict. Perfectly cooked eggs. Lovely Hollandaise sauce. Good smoked salmon. Had a nice hint of kick.
.
All in all if you’re an egg lover defo a place to visit. They have excellent coffee aswell. Really enjoyed my oat latte aswell

Momlette

Cozy and cute food spot with very lovely staff! You get tasty and filling breakfast for a really decent price. Paid just over 20 quid for me and a friend.
Can highly recommend the scramble and any bagel!

Really lovely cafe with a great option of drinks and food.
I ordered a porridge - it was beautifully presented and delicious.
The coffee was strong and tasty.
The space is lovely, and there's a cute little garden area out the back, which would be amazing to sit in on a sunny day.

Just had the most delicious breakfast. Fast and friendly service too! Highly recommend. Poached eggs cooked to perfection and an excellent coffee also. Very reasonable prices too.

great breakfast and coffee! staff was very polite and attentive. beautiful litttle breakfast spot that I would definitely recommend!🩵

A small and cozy spot where you can enjoy breakfast all day long. Delicious food, generous portions, and no pork bacon on the menu. The coffee is really good too, but there are only about 12–13 seats inside — so if you’re lucky, you’ll find a spot

Everything on our menu is halal and we don’t serve alcohol. M

Efes Restaurant (Whitechapel)

The atmosphere at Efes really stands out with warm lighting, tidy interiors, and a welcoming energy that instantly puts you at ease. The team here clearly takes pride in what they do. Every visit feels consistent with friendly greetings, quick seating, and attentive service throughout.

You can tell there is real care in how everything is prepared and presented, whether it is the lamb, chicken, or shish options that seem to be favorites among regulars. There is a certain balance and attention to detail in what arrives at the table that says a lot about the people behind it. Nothing ever feels rushed, and timing always seems right.

Another thing worth mentioning is the overall atmosphere. It is upbeat but still relaxed enough to enjoy a proper conversation. Even when it is busy, and it usually is, the staff keeps things moving smoothly without losing that personal touch. They manage to make a crowded evening feel calm and organized, which says a lot about their professionalism.

Efes also has a strong sense of hospitality, from small gestures to how the staff checks in just enough to make sure everything is right. Whether you are stopping by for a quick meet up or a longer evening with friends, it is a place that leaves a good impression every single time.

I’ve been to Efes so many times on different occasions! It’s perfect for any group size - you can easily find tables for larger groups (though it’s best to book in advance).

The food is delicious, well-prepared, and full of flavour, with generous portions - some main dishes are even great for sharing. They also serve a portion of bread and salad as a complimentary starter.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and they always do their best to accommodate you.

I can't praise Efes highly enough. The restaurant is absolutely immaculate, pristine. The staff are very friendly and happy to see and serve you. The food is the best Turkish that I've had in London. If you're in the area you've got to try it!

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

I made a mistake.
I was in the capital of cheap eats but for some reason I fancied a Turkish.
Did I regret much. £16 for a hot mezze starter see pic.
I appreciate it’s very close to central London. But do not charge me high prices and slack on quality. Also had the yogurt Adana which was on the smaller size compared to other Turkish restaurants.
Won’t be back but FairPlay to them
Hot mezze

Award-winning Indian restaurant since 1974

Sheba Restaurant - Awarded Best Curry House In UK

Don’t order from this place!! Disappointed doesn’t even cover it. Ordered delivery this evening (6/12) and it was honestly the worst curry I’ve had In my life. Lamb buhna (pictured) was just oil and water and a grey colour that doesn’t give me any confidence in its safety. The other curry The Lamb ladyfinger, the sauce in that had also completely split. The whole meal was completely inedible.

I want to wipe my memories from eating this food, not exactly sure how there could be disappointing. Indian food in London, had the popular dishes. Had the menthi lamb which was mediocre at best but outshone the rest, with the tandoori chicken which was super dry, the mint sauce that didn't resemble any kind of chutney I've ever seen on Earth, and the samosas which were like trader Joe's air fried pieces, and the super sweet mango lassi. and the naan was old and dry too, super disappointing but service was decent nevertheless

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3rd time here and was not disappointed. The king prawns were cleaned, cooked tastily and FRESH. We loved the lamb briyani, ample portions, even brought our friends here. Pappadam was amazing. Traditional bangla fish curry was great too. Would highly recommend and in my opinion presents better overall value than Dishoom.

Taco Taco - Shoreditch

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

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

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

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

Indulging in the flavors of each uniquely crafted taco was a delightful experience, with the freshness of the prawns and the melt-in-your-mouth goodness of the tacos leaving me craving more. The well-seasoned rice boxes were a perfect complement to the generously portioned meat and salmon dishes. This hidden gem has quickly become my go-to spot for authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Food: N and I always order the Full English Breakfast (with some tweaks) cos who doesn’t love a Full English? We always get the Sausages, Turkey Bacon, Eggs, Sourdough and Beans, and sometimes a cheeky side of Crushed Avocado or Halloumi. Everything is delicious. The Sausages taste so fatty that we can FEEL ourselves putting on the pounds 😂 but booooyy 👅 are they scrumptious! The only thing we hate are tomatoes, but we always order them because they look good in the pictures. 😬😂
Service: You have to order at the till and the food doesn’t take long.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Grounded Aldgate on Instagram

I went to check out @groundedcoffeeco_london
During the week after hearing good things .

Pictured is the full English (halal) at £9.50 and pancakes £7.50 .

I have to say I think this place is massively overrated. No way this is worth £9.50. The sausage was decent enough, but there wasn't enough here to justify the price, the word BASIC comes to mind and this shouldn't cost more than £5. It came with sourdough toast which was hard and unpleasant. Also, didn't even come with a cup of tea. Bump. .

The pancakes where just okay and they wern't even round! Brioche burger definitely do the best pancakes. 
The decor and vibe in there is good tho. But I'd take value over decor. You can go down a few shops and get a full English for £5.

This is probably a spot most East Londoners been eating for good few years. And personally my regular fav spot in the area. They have a massive menu, from breakfast dishes, to burgers and ribs as well as pancakes and French toast. They’re oat latte also on point, good premium coffee beans
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Full English (£12.50)
🔳 Egg On Toast (£8)
🔳 East Classic Burger (£10.50)
🔳 Buttermilk Pancakes (£12.50)
.
The full English breakfast is your classic popular dish here. I enjoy this more than others in the local area like cafe east and others. Every time I have that it doesn’t give me the greasy and oily feeling. Some days it does flop but in general I do enjoy this a lot
.
The burger I think is underrated. It’s weirdly a solid burger aswell. Like a good enjoyable Gourmet Burger. When I first had it, I’m like huh how the hell is this so good. I was expecting dead burger. Lol but it’s actually a solid burger. Not like a blow your mind away burger, but a burger you’ll eat and probably enjoy. Some days I did have it dry. But when it’s good, it’s joccccyyyyy 
.
But highlight for me always is their pancakes. I think this place made me love buttermilk style pancakes and pancakes that are thick fluffy but have that cakey taste, if that makes sense. But your slim looking pancakes
.
All in all this place is generally the best breakfast place in East London

Grounded London

Decided to give this business a try after a friend suggested it was good. However, i happened to find that the previous comments about service and the waitresses are sadly true. There are a few of them and although not all were unprofessional, there was one who led us in (without a welcoming smile) and another who carelessly dumped our plates in front of us.

Regarding my plate, I’ve had better french toast in many other places and this one is surely on the list to avoid in the future!

A standout spot for quality brunch with flavorful, well-executed dishes. Expect a queue it’s popular for good reason but the food largely justifies the wait.Highlights:  Jerk chicken burger juicy, boldly spiced, and satisfying.
French toast – the star: plush brioche soaked to perfection, crowned with a vibrant mix of fresh fruits.

Low point:
The matcha latte was disappointing gritty, coarse, and among the weakest I’ve had. Quality here needs urgent refinement. Excellent mains make this a strong brunch contender. Come for the food, skip the matcha. Recommended with patience and selective ordering.

Husband and I came here on a busy Sunday morning where there was queues outside. We quickly got in as a table for 2 which was good.

We ordered a full English, French toast, mocha and a latte. I enjoyed my full English but did not enjoy the turkey rashers, tasted too plasticy. The real shocker came with the French toast, most of it was inflated air so not filling at all. The jam on top of the French toast was really nice though.

One thing I found incredibly off putting were the salt and pepper shakers on the table, they were so sticky with layers on gunk that I couldn't clean my hands properly.

Was here for lunch on a weekday. Quite cozy and staff were friendly and helpful. Ordered smoked salmon with poached eggs and a side order of sweet potato fries which were great. The area is quite busy.

I don’t know how to start, but the classic beef English breakfast really needs improvement. The beef sausage was flavourless, felt like something from Tesco just cooked and served. The only things I liked were the scrambled eggs, sourdough, and tomato. Honestly, it was just alright, and I don’t get why it’s so popular. I’d recommend picking something else other than the classic beef English breakfast.
