Halal Asian cuisine. Formerly Bonda Kitchen

Bonda by Duck & Noodle

My girlfriend and I had the roasted duck noodles, siomay and bandung chia. The food was amazing, full of flavor and the duck was perfectly cooked! The waiter was also really friendly. Will definitely come here again

Halal Malaysian restaurant. Not sure about other dish but the duck here is very good. Order their duck rice. Duck is super juicy. You won’t regret it.  Ask for chili oil. Pro tip, request for breast rather than leg for more meaty juicier experience.
Plus point, toilet is clean with bidet. Prayer room as well.

I searched for a Halal Chinese restaurant, this was one of the restaurants suggested by google.
It’s not Chinese 🇨🇳 cuisine but Malaysian 🇲🇾 cuisine, very bland for my taste.
The place is very clean and welcoming.
The employees were very nice, they offered the drink on the house since I wasn’t a fan of the food.
I came in for a « hot & sour wonton soup », they don’t do it, so i thought why not mix 2 soups they do, hot and sour soup and chicken wonton soup.
The hot and sour is a mixture of a thick red soup, chicken slices, vegetables and 2 prawns. Soup was delicious just not sour nor hot.
The chicken wonton soup which was « wontons in boiled water and green onion (scallions) » not exaggerating, literally.
Service and atmosphere amazing.
Food not for me.
For £28, not a deal breaker

Will not return: decent duck but no alcohol.

We’ve
- Ma Po tofu 麻婆豆腐
- Duck noodle

Both are flavorful but slightly sweet, especially the tofu. The noodles are al dente.

This homey Malaysian restaurant is three minutes away from our hotel. After a long day of travel, the soup hits the spot.

The bonna brand porcelain hand-painted tableware from Turkey is quite attractive.

We came here after seeing the great reviews and were not disappointed. The waitress was so kind and welcoming and very helpful in making suggestions. We wanted dumplings and were very happy with the ones we got. They were very reasonably priced. They were delicious. I will definitely come back.

Asian-fusion steakhouse with cave-style decor

Meet Bros

We came here because it was close to our hotel and the reviews were good. We did not expect it to be our favourite meal of our trip to London, but it was.

We ordered Filet Mignon, Lamb shank, then the chocolate fondant and the banana fritters for dessert.

The atmosphere was wonderful, one star was deducted due to a child being loud but this is not the fault of the establishment. It did soil the experience slightly.

Everything we ordered was absolutely astounding. The chocolate fondant however was earth-shatteringly good. I couldn’t believe it.

Thank you so much to the people at Meet Bros, and thank you to the universe for having us book a hotel round the corner from here.

I went for a bday dinner and it was pretty nice, the food was like a 7/10 like the chicken burger was a bit poor but the prawn pasta and lasagne were nice, and pretty large portions for fine dining too! The assamenta drink was nice, I’d get it again but aftertaste is a bit mediciney.
The spring rolls are worth the hype and very nice! But the chutney dip is quite sweet

The service was quite poor and took us about 30mins after being sat to be given menus and another 40 or so minutes for It to come out, the food was warm however so that was nice. The lighting and atmosphere is very nice and everything was very clean.

However if you’re a girlie I will say the bathrooms aren’t very big and nice for photos 😕but the rest of the restaurant is nice so 😆

Overall I did enjoy I would maybe come again at a different time since it was peak Christmas evening time

A hidden gem indeed with a lovely ambience. We were treated with extremely friendly and polite staff especially AMU who assisted with deciding on our choice of meal. We would personally like to thank her too as she also ensured my daughters' birthday experience would always be remembered. Oh yes they also supplied extra heating to keep us cosy. Will definitely return! The beef spring rolls and steak are a must have!

This was out first time here and it was a very enjoyable experience. Our hostess was Amu and she paid attention to all our needs, especially to our 3 children. One child did not like the Mac and Cheese so much, Amu kindly took our request immediately to the manager if we could change this and within 10 minutes, a replacement dish was out for the kids.

Our mocktails were lovely, especially the Assamenta (best Mocktail I genuinely have ever had).

The starters were brilliant (we had the duck and the prawn crostinis). The mains we were a bit divided, firdtly thr negative, I had the Curry Lobster Spaghetti. It sounded great, but for the cost, I was slightly let down. The broth was too much and took away the taste of the lobster. The lobster was also overcooked. The broth also had aubergines and some weird chewy tofu blocks that did not go with the dish. For the cost, I wont order this again or any seafood main...

The positive, the angus ribeye steak was cooked to perfection, flavoursome and the sides and sauce were excellent and what Meet Bros probably do best.

The chocolate fondant dessert was divine.

The decor underground and ambiemce was lovely and as I mentioned, the staff were welcoming and Amu especially was brilliant.

Will definitely return... just nit for the seafood main, I will stick to the meats!

I'm a little confused on how this restaurant has such a high rating. We were recommended this restaurant by a friend, and were so eager to try it we booked it immediately.

I'll start with the starters, we ordered prawns, beef spring rolls and nachos. The prawns were cooked beautifully, the fried bread that was put on top was unfortunately so full of oil it was bordering on disgusting. Beef spring rolls lacked flavour, even with the dipping sauce. Nachos were our favourite, good combination of meat to tortilla ratio and the taste was nice.

The drinks - when I pay £11 for a mocktail, I expect to get more than 3 sips. I understand the extortionate price for an alcoholic drink, not for some syrup and lemonade you put into a tiny glass. Extremely disappointing that I then had to order cola on top of the £22 I paid for 2 drinks.

The mains - the steak was basic, not worth the £45, especially when I can go to Cristina's in Barking and get a full sear on my steak. I really enjoyed the broccolini, but again... £8 for broccoli is a bit steep. We also got marrow, which for some reason was mixed with their house gravy when we didn't ask for that?

All in all, we left disappointed and £200 poorer from an experience that we won't want to see again. I like to be able to see my food when I'm eating, and not having to pay an arm and a leg for lemonade with a bit of syrup. The tables were also dangerously close together, so much so that I made friends lol

Maybe the Instagram kids and tiktok snappers will enjoy this place, but if you want a good meal and quality food - then look elsewhere.

It was my first time having Malaysian food. It was absolutely amazing, the flavours were really powerful and I especially loved the salted egg chicken. The service was really good: friendly and knowledgeable staff, I also loved the milo iced drink and condensed milk iced tea. Would definitely go again and try other options on the menu.

Quiet Gem in London!
The food was delicious, and the service from all the lovely staff (Syaza, Izzat and Maz) was outstanding! So thoughtful and nice and everything done with a smile. May Allah reward them for their effort!

Really great neighborhood restaurant if you’re craving authentic Malaysian food. All the dishes we ordered were solid and we can’t wait to come back to try more dishes. Really liked the noodle dish as well as the peanut sauce with vegetables and fried tofu. Only thing that could’ve been better would be the roti canai and was a bit on the pricier side (came out to £82 for the two of us) but otherwise a great dining experience!

Such a gem! The food is sooo tasty, the restaurant is authentic and atmosphere is chill. You can share dish no 31 between two people as well as homemade bread which they make in front of you!! and hummus.

Been to this place a few times now, and never disappointed. The dishes were authentic, delicious, and came in big portions. Very good value for the price for sure. Absolutely loved their oxtails soup, and their weekend special - Nasi Ayam was really nice as well. Will definitely come back for more soon.
