Roti King- Euston

@rotikinguk

Went to @rotikinguk again after I think almost 2/3 years maybe more I don’t even know anymore, but either way the queue was even worse than the first time, I waited about 1hr 15mins in total 🥲 but in a way it shows how good the food is if ppl are willing to wait for it, found a place nearby as a backup & someone in the queue told me not to bother as it’ll disappoint so I decided to wait 🥲

Anyway, the food.

Beef Rendang: 9/10

Cost £8 & for me it was the right portion, on a bad day I’d have needed 2 rounds of it but this time round the rendang was soooo much better than the first time I had it, also the duck dish has been removed 😪💔 but it had like a mild citrusy hint to it as well which was beautiful.

Sweet roti: 7.5/10

Second dish was this sweet roti with caramelised brown sugar & bananas, this was really good but I felt like it needed some sort of single cream or double cream even to make it even better but was still decent either way.

Overall:

Food: 8.8/10

@eafoodbae's review of Roti King King's Cross on Instagram

Roti King

Famous place with queues outside, people can't wait to get in for the incredible Malaysian dishes. Recommend this if anyone is looking for authentic Malaysian food. I've heard Roti King is known for offering nice Malaysian food, and they certainly didn't disappoint. The food is brilliant and absolutely worth a visit, even though very often, would have  to wait for a while before taking the stairs down and entering the restaurant. You would be amazed how delicious the dishes would taste. We come all the way from Manchester, and it is worth waiting for.

Roti King is a small diner located near Euston Station, the menu is well priced and affordable compared to many places around the area. Food tastes fresh and quite hygienic - obvious by the way we are able to see them cooking. Waiters are friendly and calm despite how busy it is! Be sure to arrive early as soon as its opened or you would have to wait in queue. Delicious Malaysian Food!

Classic hole in the wall type of restaurant with a limited menu where the food speaks for itself. You looking at Malaysian cuisine with a focus on Roti (obviously) and you only get one chance to order. This is good because it keeps the tables rotating at a good pace, which is handy because you can’t book and have to queue outside. We only waited 10 min though so not that bad.

Had been waiting to try this for a while, arrived before opening time and there was already a queue. It moves fast so don't be put off, but it is a quick in and out service, we were in and out within 40 minutes and we were there longer than most. They have tried to make the most of the space, but not much room for bags/coats! Food was good and more filling than we thought. Would recommend the noodle/rice dishes.

Great experience, it is well worth the waiting time in that long queue. Unfortunately they don't accept reservations, as the restaurant is quite small.
The food was so so delicious. The service was very efficient.
Highly recommended.

Granger & Co. King's Cross

I love the decoration very much here. Its relaxing, modern, newly furnished. The food was fancy as well. I ordered the crab toast and it was good looking. The taste was alright though. Yuzu cocktail was amazing - my friends loved it so much. The dessert was a bit disappointing though - we were expecting some cakes but it turned out to be three layers of ice cream.

Went as a group of ten and were lucky that they could accommodate us all. With such a group it is sometimes difficult to get all of the dishes served at once, but they managed perfectly.  Very hip and relaxing, we sat outside enjoying the warm weather but plenty of customers chose inside to unwind and chill.  Service was swift and friendly. Food was flavoursome and portion sizes were decent.
Plenty of choices on the menu and reasonably priced so all in all a nice place to go to recharge.

Good place to sit and relax. It was open and bright just by kings cross station. It felt clean and nice. Ordered a coffee, ricotta hotcakes and the chili fried egg. Portions were very large but tasty. It’s the type of place you feel like you relax when you get in, especially early in the morning. It’s a refreshing start to your day, where you could probably sit for many hours to enjoy.

I have been at Granger multiple times and every time I arrive here I order the same ricotta cheese pancakes with banana and maple syrup. The food is delicious and the staff is really nice. It is a bit pricey but the pancakes are worth it.

I ordered the grilled cheese and kimchi sandwich and it was phenomenal! Just the right dish for a vegetarian to order for brunch (:

The service was also amazing with the waitress checking if we needed anything to offering us tap water without asking!

I would definitely come again!

All of our chicken is Halal. This includes our chicken schnitzel and the roast chicken salad.

Pelican State Bloomsbury

Good service and large portion was very filling. The food was not great though - the crispy boil items all tasted pretty much the same. The mussels were dry and calamari was very tough. The fish and shrimp were fine though, and the sauce was good. Overall perfectly fine for a lunch meal but probably won’t come back in a rush

I was very happy with the Boiled seafood combo and the delicious and well seasoned sauce on the bottom. The veggie burger however was bland. I think the way the ordering system works might have made some sense during covid but not now. During my stay (about an hour) there were 3 separate tables that had issues with it or needed explaining and is especially inconvenient for elderly people.

The place is a bit cold and not what you would expect from a seafood "let's get messy" restaurant.  Service is not very impressive but gets the job done. Food was somehow OK but calamari were chewy and the portions are not worth the money. Taste is decent though. Not a bad experience but simply not enough to come back for seconds.

First time eating at Pelican State, and I must say the food was very delicious. I ordered the XL boil combo with garlic sauce - which was definitely enough for two, and 2 portions of sweet potato fries as sides. I would highly recommend. The garlic sauce was super tasty :) Really friendly staff, and although it was quite busy around 1.30pm-ish, it wasn't a long wait for the food to arrive.

For your seafood cravings, Pelican state is one of the go to's. This branch is smaller than the one in Marylebone. The food is satisfactory and just hits you at the right spot.
They have a choice of seafood combos (boiled or fried) and now offer lunch menu combo.
The staff didn't smile too much but still served the orders.

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers King's Cross

I love honest burger. They have really Good Gluten Free Options not just bread for your burger but also many different sides that are gluten free. There are so many great combinations to choose from, although most of the time I just like to keep it simple and focus on the quality of the meat itself.

I have visited multiple honest burger restaurants and this is probably my favourite a great location and a good place to go to escape from St Pancreas if you are nearby.

Absolute best vegan burger I've had in my life and the best vegetarian burger I've ever had. I spent 2 weeks in London and on my first night picked up the vegan bacon burger for take away. It was incredible. The vegan bacon on that burger has the best texture of any vegan bacon I've ever had. Then, on my last night in London I dined in at the establishment and had the bbq burger that was the special of the day except I subbed the meat and bacon with their vegan patty and vegan bacon. It was delicious. Also worth mentioning, their mint lemonade is perfection!

First time eating in this restaurant and I was really impressed. The food was excellent, burgers are not the hardest thing to cook but they are so often done poorly. Staff were excellent as well, so much so that my 5 year old niece drew a picture of the waitress and they put it in the wall. Very kind

The BEST burgers we have ever had! My partner and his friends are burger mad and we’ve been to pretty much every burger bar available and I wasn’t jumping for joy to go to another for a friends birthday. But Honest burgers were absolutely gorgeous. Everything was sooooo tasty!!!! And the staff were 10/10, so lovely and welcoming. Cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely return here when we’re back in London without a doubt!!

They do burgers....they do them extremely well, cooked to perfection and taste divine. One of the best burgers I have ever had.
The rosemary fries were exactly that, you could taste the rosemary and were excellent. Also had a side order of onion rings which were again brilliant.
Staff very friendly and manged to sit inside as it was quite cold, only a small indoor seating area but lots of out door seating about that is covered. If you want a good burger and in the area.....I would only come here as food, quality, service and value were top notch.

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.

Nonos

The service is great as is the location. The decor is also great. I found the salads rather basic and  it felt very much like mass-produced. However the sea bass was delicious. I really expected Greek fanfare as the reviews stated but the place is like a fast food Greek restaurant. The service is highly recommendable.

Celebrated my husband's 40th birthday at Nonos last Saturday and it was amazing! The service provided by Nonos was incredible. The staff were very friendly, professional and very helpful. The food and the drinks were delicious! All my guest had a brilliant time and enjoyed the cocktails and the food and made amazing comments about the place and the service they received from everyone at Nonos.
Definitely recommend Nonos to celebrate any occasion or just to eat amazing food and great cocktails 🍸 😋

We decided to come to this Greek restaurant before going back to Edinburgh.

Everything was delicious but I was a bit disappointed with my octopus dish. At £16.95 I was expecting more than 2 tentacles... it did not say on the menu it was only that and I was expecting a lot more. However, it was delicious. I just think it should be specified that it's just 2 pieces of the tentacles as I probably would've gone for something different.

Service was good and friendly.

Amazing dishes and service and place! We got the rice covered with leave for the starter and it was so good! Also the lamb with pita bread was amazing. We asked to cut the chicken wrap in two and they were so kind to cut it nicely! The service in general was amazing and so kind. Also the place was very pretty with the gold frame without the paintings :) And I really really enjoy baklava! They said they prepare it for 4 days. The quality was so much higher from other baklava on the street. I would like to come back for sure if I want to have Greek food!

Went for bottomless brunch. The choice of cocktails were really good, and came out fast. However the choice of food for the food was mediocre. The chef would pick what he made you and your selection was limited to just starters. Like humus and olives sort of vibe. We ended up having to buy more food. They brought out some dips and some bread at the beginning though. Wasn’t worth the price of the bottomless but I guess we got enough drinks it balanced out. Ordered main meals in the end. Food was okay.

The chicken, lamb skewers and lamb chop are halal. Seafood linguini can be halal if requested without wine. However we do serve pork and alcohol in site.

Slim Chickens

Great place for a quick bite. Somewhere different and feels like it’s a bit healthier. All good was freshly cooked and the chicken tenders were soo juicy and tender inside! Customer service was great too, Shanika was really helpful and welcoming, and the whole place was immaculately clean! Definitely going to come back!

Great customer service served by a friendly staff called Tim, I asked for flavours to try so I tried their tenders, chicken wings and milkshake. I would say I would come back for the tenders and chips only. The sauces they offer is really good servings!! Wings were okay but I think other places does it better, the milkshake was very sweet, I would reccommend to ask them to put less syrup in your milkshake. Overall a good atmosphere.

Food was incredible, one of the best burgers I’ve ever tasted. My friends chicken salad was fresh with a generous portion. Incredible sauces. Great staff, will go back again. :)

I think this is the best slims to go to in London, it’s quiet, there’s more tables, there’s more space to eat and the food I feel is much better here. Make sure to download the app and get 20% off your meal as a new user! I got the double bbq sandwich which was really great and saucy, it is very large so only order it if you don’t mind making a mess. The fries were great aswell. I also got 7 tenders on top, I chose sriracha garlic slims sauce (kind of like burger sauce) and spicy bbq as my sauces . All three sauces were great. My meal cost about £18 which isn’t too bad for what I got. This place is halal and just a good place overall in London. I even got my tenders takeaway, they do give boxes.

Delicious chicken tenders, perfectly spiced. No need for any dips. Fries were very crispy.

I ordered at the kiosk and was served at the table. Very convenient. I always prefer the kiosks so I can go through the menu.

However, the soda fountain area did not look like it had been cleaned recently.

We serve chicken from a supplier certified as Halal by HFA.

KFC London - Kings Cross

Waited over an hour then given undercooked chips and raw chicken wings. Absolutely disgusted!

If you’re busy and overstretched, I just don’t understand why you’d continue accepting orders? You could temporarily stop taking orders, whether takeaway or via delivery apps. I really fail to understand why KFC would do this and send undercooked food in a hurry - this is dangerous when handling chicken in particular!

This was a typical KFC store. The staff are efficient and quick. The food tastes good. I did not like the fact that they don't accept American express cards. The size of the store is small and it is busy, considering the location. Therefore, when you order you have to stand aside: that was a bit awkward. Otherwise, it is a good store

7 October 2022 arrived at around 1020pm. Bouncer on the door was possibly the rudest most obnoxious person I have ever met in my life. Looked at every person arriving like they were scum. The place never had more than 10 people inside,  so why was he blocking people coming in and acting like he was some sort of God? On this alone I for one will never ever go to this KFC again and anyone that ignores the above cannot say they have not been warned. You do not go to a KFC for a bouncer to try and intimidate all its customers, just not on.

Average at best ... delivery time was okay (?) about half an hour, although I was based only 10 minutes walk away ... food wasn't great, KFC usually have small portions, so no change from that here. One of the chicken pieces was over-cooked - also, they forgot my drink, so I let them know, and they said they will "investigate" (lol) this issue ... still waiting on their outcome a week later :)

Mini fillet burgers, the wraps were good. Quality food. I feel KFC should ditch the Pepsi Max as it was horrible with the food I ordered. It just didn't connect. Other non sugar drinks would connect with the food.

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.

📍Choppaluna, Russell Square @choppaluna AD / #invite

@choppaluna is a firm fav for a healthy meal on a budget. They’ve also started doing their Luna melts which were beautiful! I opted for the chicken tikka with my fav snack - salted caramel dates (I could eat these all day long!).

As well as freshly made food, @choppaluna offer a host of juices, smoothies and so on. Thank you for having me. ❤️

Choppaluna is expanding and coming to an area near you 👀

@naziaeats's review of Choppaluna Russell Square on Instagram

Choppaluna

I liked this place.

I was in London with my family on a Sunday in October, and we needed a coffee.  This place supplied the said coffee.

I would very happily have stayed here for a pretty healthy looking lunch.  No meat in sight - I'm guessing that this is a vegetarian/vegan canteen.

The food options looked really good.

Fresh, delicious and healthy!
I highly recommend taking taking a trip to Choppaluna! The staff are friendly and the food fairly priced. I loved 'Spring Chicken' roll and I will definitely be back to try out their breakfast options!

One of the best meals ive had in ages! Amazing options, and everything my friend and I had was so delicious. Staff were lovely too! Will definitely be back again and recommending to others 😊

I wanted something fresh and wholefood and wasn't disappointed. The menu has well thought-out options. Delicious fresh food, friendly service and value for money. The Chai Latte with coconut milk was to die for!

This place is brilliant! I'm not going to lie, I was debating on whether to go to Taco Bell or Choppaluna, but once I made the choice to go into Choppaluna, I felt I made the right choice. I was met by a lovely and patient staff member who bared with me until I, with plenty of indecisiveness, (with help from the staff) chose to get the Spring Chicken Roll Meal. Looking at it being assembled, I was impressed by both the skill of the employee and the vibrancy of the ingredients. Eating it was a pleasure, with many different textures and flavours accompanying each other beautifully. The price for me would usually be a bit high (having been stingy for all my life), but it is most certainly a no brainer to go here, especially with the lovely public gardens to eat it at.

Tried out the pistachio flavour this time & all I can say is if you haven’t been here yet you are fully missing out, best soufflé pancakes you’ll have in your life, this flavour is just the one. No more to be said. 

Overall: 

Taste: 10/10 
Service: 10/10

@londonfoodjourney's review of Fuwa Fuwa on Instagram

Fuwa Fuwa Café

The desserts here are actually incredible, really light and tasty. However the hygiene standards are quite appalling. The tables and chairs were dirty (there was a long hair on my chair) , there weren't any napkins available. Given the location and prices, you would expect a much cleaner culinary experience. Were this to be rectified, I would have no hesitation giving 5 stars.

Three words: Delicious cloud heaven

There are many moments that I am completely blown over by the taste of certain foods. But there are fewer times when the food has left me near speechless when it comes to its presentation and taste.

I had long researched a decent location for the fluffiest of Japanese pancakes and decided to take a gamble on this well-reviewed location. Having navigated through London, journeying by foot and rail to find this place of legends and delicate fluff, I finally came across the minimally decorated Fuwa Fuwa.

Located in the Grade II 1970s shopping centre, a little bit out of the way of the busier parts of London…. at first glance it doesn’t look like much. But I can assure you it is beyond worth visiting.

Surrounded by reminders of fluff (there are liberal placements of cotton on shelves and plant pots), one is presented with the softest, most fragile of pancakes. It arrives jiggling and covered in chocolate and a smattering of sugar, but it is beautiful. Not only is its appearance art itself, but the moment one bites into the pancake cotton, I do believe this is the closest one will ever get to consuming a literal cloud.

Every mouthful melts on your palette and I can only describe it was one of the most magical dining experiences that I have ever had.

To quote one noteworthy film: “It’s so fluffy I’m gonna DIE!”

Honestly, a complete must-visit for London.

Absolutely amazing, i've never had anything like it. It was expensive but I think it's worth trying once. The iced coffee was pretty small for the price but tasted great. I think the waitress gave our food to the table next to us as we had the same order and ordered before they sat down, but other than that I loved it. Only one toilet but was clean inside.

Pancakes looked good but tasted average. Drinks took very long to come, by the time we got our drinks we had finished the pancakes already. They were also served in paper and plastic cups which we thought were unusual for eating in. The interior decor of the cafe was very basic, looked like not much work had been put into it. Overall dining experience could be improved.

I was made to wait for like half an hour. The music also sucks and it doesn't fit with the theme of the cafe. Haven't had my pancakes yet I'm still waiting as we speak

Edit: I got my food like 5 minutes after. It was pretty good so overall like maybe 2 stars.

All our menu items are suitable for a Halal diet.

Hoppers King's Cross

Really nice. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The lady serving us took her time to explain and nothing was too much trouble. I had the lamb shank, which was a massive portion. My friend is vegan and she had the cauliflower dish. Both dishes were so so tasty, I will definitely go again. Cocktails were great as well and it's very easy to find.

Delicious food and really friendly staff. We went for the tasting menu which was great but all came a little fast and could have used a bit more description on what was what. I would thoroughly recommend a visit

Was our first time here, and it didn’t disappoint. Great food and friendly staff. Food wasn’t cheap but the taste was lovely. It was nice to not be rushed as well as I knew they were closing soon but they said to take our time.

I have been living in london since birth and never tried this food, the vibe of the place is really nice. Staff were also lovely. Food is diverse and really adds to the experience. I would highly recommend visiting.

Had the meat sharing menu. So much food and so tasty every dish was amazing. Not too spicy as well which I was a bit worried about. We ate so much but still couldnt eat it all. The photo shows less than half the food we had. Really loved the drinks we had as well. Definitely will come back.

Eat-in and takeaway restaurant, part of small chain, serving soft, filled tortillas and burritos.

Tortilla Russell Square

Great food, fast service and friendly staff. Wish there were more around London. Much more reasonably priced than some of it’s competitors like chipotle and tastes better. Win Win

Was here for dinner and I had a “large” naked burrito. I paid £8 for this. Their “large” burrito is £6.60 and that only includes rice and beans which I think is ridiculous. You have to pay extra for toppings including the beef which again I think is ridiculous. Portions are small and I Ieft the place feeling unsatisfied and still hungry. The flavours are nothing to write home about. Never coming back. 1 out of 5 stars.

Burritos and tacos are amazing!!! Staff is also nice. My suggestion: burrito large, rice, coriandro, Black peas, pork (carnitas), tomatoes, chili sauce. It May be a good idea also a bit of guacamole (but you have to add money).

Not bad, cheap but lacking in flavour.
Staff is lovely and some speak Spanish.

The staff was really nice and our nacho-cheese plate was great as well! We got 5 Coronas for only £15, which is great! Definitely recommend! 👍🏼

Tortilla

Tortilla and burrito joint that charges extra for guacamole!

Tortilla Kings Cross

I usually come her for Sunday lunch after my classes at the nearby gym. They have one  halal chicken option which I usually go for and the serving is really generous which I pointed out to the serving staff :) staff were kind enough to give me extra hot sauce, a glass for my drink and takeaway box for my left over portion. Great place and plenty of different seating in a nice surrounding. Strongly recommend!

I visited tortilla in Kings Cross yesterday, the restaurant was looking clean and nice.
I have ordered a large barbacoa burrito with guacamole and it tasted very good. Food was warm, tasty and fresh what is hard to find nowadays in London. The staff very friendly and helpful! They took their time to explain everything to me and they were very polite.
I will definitely come back!

Tortilla offer great tasting, fresh Mexican food at a good price. They are conveniently located between St Pancras and Kings Cross Railway stations, perfect for filling up before or after a railway journey. They offer an eat in or takeaway service along with a pre-order online service. I always have a burrito so cannot comment on any other food on offer but the ingredients are all on display and you choose exactly what you want to go into your burrito so it is fresh and just how you want it. You can choose from pork, beef or chicken burritos and there is a very good selection of fresh ingredients to choose from to add to it. All staff members are always friendly and very helpful, I highly recommend a trip to any Tortilla but this and the Oxford Circus Tortilla are my favourite Tortilla branches.

The street tacos were amazing...  very fresh food and well prepared.  This place had a very efficient staff that served a large amount of folks quickly and yet made us feel important...  now that is a real feat.  Good work!

It's cheap but good Mexican burrito. Service is quick (at least when empty) and the portion size was huge. I've started to have a reaction to spicy sauces and jallepenos but the mild sauce in this meal was just perfect, not too hot and good on the tummy :)
