The Blues Kitchen Shoreditch

Awsome venue with really amazing staff who look like they genuinely love coming to work! Superb service from everyone and food drinks on par... Great place if you are in a group as very large and accommodating but still has cosy feel!

Absolutely amazing😍
The vibe is awesome, very beautiful decor. Staff is incredibly friendly (especially bandana guy) and the food is great.
The buffalo chicken wings give a punch of a flavour. The chicken burger was delicious and the smoked pork belly was huge! 🤤 Shout out to the mac&cheese, incredibly creamy and perfectly cooked.
Would love to come here again ♥️♥️

It was my birthday and I got the serlion steak with fries, it was perfectly done and the lime cheesecake was sooooooo good. Live music and a cocktail was a perfect combo. Angel was so sweet and helpful, she made me feel taken care and it was such a great experience!

I cannot believe I've not found The Blues Kitchen before. The service from when we came in was excellent, friendly staff and fantastic food. The deserts are incredible. The restaurant itself is a real mix of texture and lighting. A really pleasant experience all round. Definitely be back! Highly recommended.

Was really pleasantly surprised by the steak - perfectly cooked and amazing flavour! Me and my bestie love blues kitchen for the vibes and the quality, and on Monday we had Jules serve us who was just the best! Gave us great suggestions of the new chicken dish and helped decide on margaritas. She made the evening that much better

Our chicken is halal and can be cooked separately from all non halal options on request.

The Sushi Co - Shoreditch

I tried the Spices Salmon Crunch at The Sushi Co and it was amazing! The salmon was fresh and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. The crunch added a perfect texture that made every bite enjoyable. Presentation was great too, and it felt really satisfying without being too heavy. Definitely something I’d order again!

I've just visited Sushi Co. with my son, and we were blown away! For such a small understated restaurant with only four tables it sure delivers a fabulous range of sushi and hot rice dishes, with brilliant service. The two staff were both charming and very helpful. And it goes without saying the sushi we ordered was sublime. Don't walk past and dismiss it - it's a winner. We'll be back!

The Chicken Katsu Curry here is fantastic, best I've had in the UK so far - I didn't expect that for a quick takeaway. The chicken was tasty with crispy breading, the rice texture was ideal, and the flavour of the sauce tasted authentic. I loved the accompaniment of chunky chopped carrot, sliced spring onion, shredded pickled ginger, and mixed sesame seeds you get with this. The portion size was great as well, not too little, not too large.

Worst staff at your store please teach you colleague  name called Krishna! Please check the below attached pictures I told him customer name ( Sarah ) he gave wrong bag with name ( Paula ) when I explained him and showed the order again he started abusing please check your cameras and teach how to answer and respect someone! And am attaching the pictures of the order if you get any complaint from customer you staff is responsible for that.

Time 12.46 to 12.50 in between

Honestly one of the best sushi spots I’ve been to. The food was fresh, perfectly made, and fast. But what really stood out was the service.

Moztemmel and Sobita were incredibly respectful, kind, and welcoming. They made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable, not rushed or fake. You can tell they actually care about customers.

All our stores serve Halal meat. All our meat is supplied by a Halal-certified supplier in The Netherlands.

KoKoDoo - Korean Fried Chicken (Shoreditch)

I really love the honey glazed fried chicken, very crispy and the sweetness is just right. Regular size is already in generous large portion which should be enough for everyone. It was 12:30pm  near 10 people waiting at the shop plus the delivery app orders. However I had my food on hand just in few minutes. So they prepared it amazingly fast.

My colleague took me here surprised when I talked to the owner in their language. Actually they are from Hong Kong to escape from the nonsenses and seek for a brighter future.

Just to say 香港人加油 to this shop and the lovely hardworking people!

very yummy fried chicken,
i tried sweet and spicy while my friend tried honey glazed, both are nice with a reletively big portion!
will try again definitely.
we have lunch there.

I bought lunch from here twice.
The chicken was tasty and service was quick. There were a few seats in the restaurant. Its busy there during lunch hours.
I had sweet and spicy chicken, also tried honey glazed one.
Both were nice

The sweet and spicy chicken is amazing and straddles the line between a little spicy and sweetness so well. Portion sizes are generous. The rice is done well for it to soak up the extra sauce from the chickren. The staff are super friendly as well.
It used to be a regular workplace lunch for myself and have fond memories of grabbing some food then eating it in the church garden just around the corner but I switched jobs so that came to an end. I popped by today though as a treat and can confirm that everything that kept me going back is still as true as when I was here last.

We had a wonderful lunch at Koko Doo, located just opposite the hotel. This small but welcoming Korean restaurant, seemingly run as a family business by a lovely couple, offers fresh and flavorful authentic Korean dishes. The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making us feel right at home. A major highlight for us was that they serve halal food, which was an important consideration during our trip. Every dish was prepared with care, and the warm, friendly service made the experience truly memorable.

Peninsula Shoreditch(Malaysian & Indian Cuisine)

We tried Roti Canai here and couldn’t fault it. Really fragrant Dal and one of the flakiest roti I’ve had in UK. The charred bits on the roti adds wonderful flavour. It’s made fresh to order as well so must try if you are in the area.

The Nasi Lemak was disappointing. Fried chicken was frozen chicken strips, the sort you can get from your local chicken shop. The rice was Basmati instead of Jasmine and the roti canai was from frozen package like you can buy at Tesco. The curry was OK but overall not worth the money paid. You cannot advertise as genuine Malaysian food.

Rice and condiments were good, reasonably priced as well. Sambal chili could be spicier and the chicken was not authentic (chicken fingers instead of chicken wings as advertised?). Worth it if you’re in the area and are craving Malaysian/Singaporean food.

The devils chicken was really crispy despite being drenched in sauce. It was a perfect spicy so you could enjoy the food and not sob like a baby at the heat. Good portion sizes too.

Fantastic rice and sambal but we (Singaporeans) were quite taken aback by the fact that the fried crispy chicken = chicken tenders??? £10

Peninsula

German Doner Kebab (GDK)

Great food and good quality. The meat was juicy and full of flavour, and the bread was fresh and soft. I really liked the sauces and fresh salad. Service was quick, and the place was clean and well organised. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely a good choice for a tasty, filling meal. 👍

I ordered a Gym Box (chicken + salad) and what I received was shocking: a container that was about 60% food and 40% empty space. For £7.89, this is not just disappointing, it feels like deliberate shortchanging. The portion was so small it bordered on humiliating – more like a snack than a proper meal.

When I asked for a refund, they accepted it, which at least shows they know what they’re serving is indefensible. But by then the damage was done – both to my wallet and to my trust.

This isn’t just bad service; it’s misleading customers and undermining the brand’s promise of value and nutrition. If top management cares about their reputation, they should urgently investigate what’s happening at this branch.

As for me, I won’t be returning. A meal should leave you satisfied – not insulted.

Till person behaviour wasn’t appropriate, and food quantity was very less put extra extra salad & potato chips rather than chicken which is the main ingredient.

I have been here multiple times, The boss box is amazing. You should definitely give it a try. Great customer service by dharmik. I would highly recommend this place

Most disgusting experience I’ve ever had. Opened up my mix doner sandwich immediately spot chicken skin. You’d think it’s a one off whatever. I proceed to go through the rest of the meat, come to find out 80% was chicken skin and raw chicken. Very disgusting. This place needs to be investigated ASAP.

All meat on our menu is from a Halal supplier.

German Doner Kebab

Bone Daddies Old Street

Such a lovely place with a great atmosphere. The staff were very kind, attentive, and caring, which made the experience even better.

We started with edamame and broccoli as starters. The edamame were perfect, and the broccoli surprised me in a good way! I didn’t know it would be served cold, but it was really tasty, with and without the dip.

I had the T22 as a main. For me personally, it was okay. I would rate it around a 5/10, mainly because I prefer the noodles to be cooked a bit longer. The broth, however, was very good.

I also loved the table setting. You can really feel that the concept of the restaurant is designed with the guests’ needs in mind. Overall, a pleasant visit.

Love the Kani Big Daddy!! Great vibe with great music plus warm Gokai was amazing as well.!

Shoutout to Myo who was awesome, very fast and attentive!!

Great Ramen, perfect eggs! I enjoyed the fried chicken starter as well. The 20H pork broth was very rich and flavourful. The music choice inside seemed a bit too hard rock/ metallic for our liking.

Stopped by for a quick ramen dinner and got the chicken tantanmen 2. The flavor was good but a bit too salty for my taste. The place has a lively, modern ramen bar vibe with upbeat music and cool interiors-perfect for casual dining or grabbing a drink after work.

The atmosphere and vibes are super nice, however I wouldn’t say this about food and ramen specifically ((((

I used to go to a lot of ramen spots and know how good ramen should look like and how broth should taste. Also I was in Japan and learned how to make traditional ramen myself too so I can say that I understand what I’m tall about.

Unfortunately, this ramen (chicken one specifically) was not well made(
The broth was really salty and it completely made soup uneatable. It’s important to do good broth for the soup for it to taste good, however this restaurant wasn’t able to do that.(((
That left me really upset so I even didn’t finish it.
Maybe I was unlucky, however I will put 2 stars still.

Due to a change of suppliers our meat is no longer Halal and all fried food is cooked in the same oil.

Bone Daddies

Dub Pan (Boxpark Shoreditch)

The food was really enjoyable and was great value for the money spent. I enjoyed my meal but my company was not fond of the rice. The rum cocktail was a standout as it really caught us by surprise with how good/strong it was. The atmosphere was pretty loud, as you’d expect from a place like this, but it added to the vibe. Definitely enjoyed the visit and would go again if I’m in the area.

Food was so delicious and Robyn the server, was lovely, explained the menu and made sure we enjoyed our late lunch. Definitely recommend. :)

It looks like carribean food but that’s as far as it goes. The two stars are because the plantain was decent but let’s be honest if you can’t fry plain rain the world has gone crazy.

Curry goat was too salty and full of bones. Festival was too oily and not fresh.

It’s a nice spot but I am guessing change of ownership and kitchen because the food was poor.

Food is amazing! Robin made our experience 10x better with his customer service skills. I enjoyed eating here

best meal ive had in my entire trip do london. matter of fact, best chicken ive ever had in my life. And im from portugal, great chicken. But this may beat it
Also super nice people and fair price
Good music too
Took this yeah mon! Platter down in 5 minutes

Huong viet

I have eaten at a lot of Vietnamese places and this place is the best tasting one for me by far. Their soup broths are very clean tasting, clear and fresh with lots of depth, and all their dishes are cooked really well and full of flavour and served out very quickly. Plus I know that the food is always consistently good and as I stop there to grab lunch at work often so I know it’s not a one off experience. They have very good cocktails too. No oily spring rolls either.

Summer Rolls are proper packed portions! Finally! Bahn Mi (port belly) was stunning. So tasty and fresh. Service was so great - thanks Mark! This place is a bit of a hidden gem in Shoreditch. Get on it!

Huong Viet in Shoreditch is a gem for anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese food that is fully halal. I recently visited for dinner and was impressed from start to finish. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming feel, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Staff were friendly, happy to explain dishes, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. A big shout-out to Agnieszka, who took care of us.

We ordered a wide selection of dishes to share, and every plate that arrived at the table was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. To start, the Wrapped Grilled Beef was a highlight. The beef was tender, perfectly marinated, and wrapped in a way that made it easy to enjoy without losing the flavors. The Hoi An Pancake came out crisp and golden, with a generous filling that paired nicely with the dipping sauce. This dish stood out for its texture, with a light crunch giving way to a soft and tasty inside.

The Salt and Pepper Prawns were another standout starter. Cooked just right, they had a satisfying bite with a balance of spice and seasoning that made them addictive. The Crispy Combo Platter was ideal for sharing, offering a mix of items that gave us the chance to try different flavors and textures in one dish. This is a good option if you are visiting for the first time and want to sample a variety of what the restaurant has to offer.

For mains, we went for the Chicken Nutty Curry, which was rich, creamy, and aromatic. The sauce was thick and flavorful, making it perfect to eat with the accompanying Steamed Rice. The curry had just the right amount of spice, keeping it balanced without overwhelming the other flavors. The Singapore Noodles were also delicious, with a generous portion size and well-balanced seasoning. The noodles had that slight smoky flavor that comes from a hot wok, which added depth to the dish.

To drink, we tried the refreshing mocktails such as Passion Kiss and Pretty Lychee, both refreshing and not overly sweet. They were a nice complement to the savory dishes and offered a change from the usual soft drinks.

To finish, we had the Mango Sago, which was the perfect dessert after a filling meal. It was light, creamy, and refreshing, with a natural sweetness from the mango that didn’t feel heavy. It left us satisfied without being too much.

Overall, the dining experience at Huong Viet was excellent. The food was authentic, fresh, and clearly made with care. The fact that the restaurant is fully halal makes it a fantastic option for groups and families who want to enjoy Vietnamese cuisine together. The service charge was fair considering the attentive service, and the overall bill reflected the quality and quantity of what we ordered.

I would highly recommend Huong Viet to anyone looking for Vietnamese food in Shoreditch. It’s a place worth visiting, whether you’re after a casual meal or a special night out.

Highly recommend!!
Everything we ate was so delicious!
The service was very good as well.
We just visited Vietnam and the food in this restaurant was even better from the origin

Delicious food and amazing service! So happy I found this place. Highly recommend and hope to come back soon

We have Halal options available. Ask a member of staff for details.

Seoul90 Korean Restaurant

STOP for a second and read this folks let papa tell you a tale of two best friends in search of a meal fit for a man turning 35 (but doesn’t look a day over 21!). I had come here on a recommendation with my BF (best friend) who was singing its praises and we both had the day off so decided to go for a spot of lunch.

TANGENNNNNT: don’t make the same mistake as us and drive here we paid congestion charge AND a hefty £14 for an hour of parking on a Wednesday which was a punch to the gut which we weren’t quite expecting on an empty stomach. We hobbled in (I was on crutches) and were greeted with a smile so warm it could have boiled a small cup of tea. We were under time pressure because of the god forsaken parking but service was prompt. They had the lunch menu which looked like a good deal but we went for the main menu - no expense spared for my best boy!

We got a glass noodles and rice to share and my bf got the KFC and I got the other chicken with the veg (forgot the name but check the pic). My mouth was watering and after a short wait, food was served! That first bite was liquid euphoria I haven’t experienced flavour like that since the great summer of ‘98. Each bite just got better it was so consistent. I had a bite of the KFC too that slapped harder than my Arabic teacher when I forgot my lines. The portions were perfect to satisfy 2 guys in their prime with healthy appetites. We both got the bong bong grape juice which compliments the chicken so well. If we had more time I would have hung around for a bit and checked out their iced tea. It’s a nice place to hang with people coming for work lunches I imagine, great for small groups and even dates. They have cool LEGO figurines and artwork that pays homage to various comics which was also a nice touch there’s never really a dull moment, with plenty to fix your eye on when looking around. We asked for the bill and I didn’t bother looking at the price but from the menu I vaguely recall prices were reasonable considering what you’re getting, the location, and obviously they have the lunch menu I was talking about.

To top it off, as we were paying, the super nice lady said to my bf “thanks for coming back” which really made his bday. You don’t get personal touches in customer service like that anymore you just don’t! We walked back to the car with 2 mins to spare, what a day!

Intimate setting, friendly and accommodating waiter, somewhere to enjoy lunch/dinner.

At first glance, the food may not look like it’s enough, but you will finish the meal feeling satisfied.

Thoroughly recommend ordering the BopBop drink with grape bits 👌

I agree with the majority of the reviews/comments posted here on Google. The service provided is polite and courteous, and the food tastes good and is presented very well. However, the price is on the high side. One very small bowl of white rice costs £3.50 and this is not even a restaurant, more a cafe and very basic.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
I wish the portions were slightly bigger but it was very full of flavor and we did not leave hungry. We had the Korean fried chicken, japchad, and Korean pork. It was about ~$97 USD and that’s quite steep for a non KBBQ meal

Staff were pleasant and attentive to when we needed something. I got the impression the place is family run and Korean throughout, the staff appear to be treated well. The food wasn't on the cheap side but the portion sizes were generous and the food was exactly what you'd hope for, really well done and solid. Decor was also unique. Overall a nice experience and definitely worth a visit if you're heading to The Barbican.

Our beef and chicken is Halal. Alcohol served.

The Clove Club

I was drawn to The Clove Club primarily because it appears on the World’s Top 100 Restaurants list — a distinction that always sparks my curiosity. From the moment I arrived, the team made a warm impression: they discreetly asked where I was visiting from and instantly shared it with the rest of the staff, which added a thoughtful, personal touch throughout the meal.
The interior is classic and somewhat minimalistic — almost sterile at moments — but the focus here is clearly on the food. The tasting menu I received differed slightly from the one displayed online; when I mentioned this, the team explained that some dishes were newly arrived ingredients intended for the evening service. As a gesture of hospitality, they offered to prepare their signature Raw Orkney Scallop — an exceptional act that set the tone for the entire lunch.
The opening amuse-bouche selection was subtle, even mild, with the foie gras bite standing out as the strongest element. Things escalated quickly from there: a beetroot gazpacho in granita form was refreshing and beautifully executed, followed by English sourdough with Scottish butter — simple, but well made.
Among the seafood courses, two dishes were particularly impressive. The lightly grilled wild Scottish tuna was tender and beautifully paired with its condiments, while the sardine sashimi glazed with chrysanthemum vinegar, served with a foamy sardine-and-whisky broth, introduced an unexpected and bold twist.
Then came the star:
Raw Orkney Scallop with black winter truffle, hazelnuts, clementine, smoked roe gel and chestnut mushrooms — passionate yet delicate, luxuriously fragrant, and without question the dish of the day. It was followed by Hazelwood-grilled line-caught squid with leeks and roulette pepper sauce, one of the most refined squid preparations I’ve ever tasted — sophisticated, confident, and richly layered.
Not all servers described the dishes with the same depth — some provided extensive detail, others only the basics — but all were sincere, warm, smiling, and exceptionally courteous.
The momentum continued with a beautifully prepared Cornish red mullet with rare citrus beurre blanc and rockfish sauce — a superb contrast of two sauces enveloping silky fish (a clear top-two dish). The Roast Maison Garat chicken with toasted hay sauce, shiitake, and Istrian white truffle demonstrated how indulgent and far from “ordinary” a chicken course can be.
The Aynhoe Park venison — accompanied by a standout venison sausage — offered lovely flavours and textures, though not the best venison I’ve ever had; still, the execution was impressive.
The dessert sequence brought playfulness:
Amalfi lemonade with fizzy lemon mousse and Kampot pepper ice cream was an excellent palate cleanser.
A warm potato mousse with caramel ice cream and black truffle was unique, unusual, and difficult to categorize — memorable in its own way.
In conclusion:
The Clove Club delivers an experience built around ingredients, craftsmanship, and quiet confidence. While some dishes are understated and the décor leans toward minimalism, the highlights are extraordinary, the staff are genuinely gracious, and certain plates — especially the Raw Orkney Scallop, the squid, and the red mullet — are world-class. A visit worthy of its Top 100 ranking, and one I’m glad I made.

Had a great lunch here. Top notch ingredients, creative preparations and amazing flavours. Service was friendly and attentive. The sommelière was very helpful. Would certainly come back when in London.

A lovely tasting menu with a few surprises along the way. The extra course of Scottish blue shell lobster was the most memorable, especially the curly noodles in lobster bisque in the 2nd serving. The portion size with the extra course was good.  In fact, most dishes were quite small and light, although understandable for a summer menu, the overall portion could be more generous throughout. The restaurant was situated inside the Shoreditch Town Hall but the interior design was not able to capture the classic elegance of the original architecture. It was more or less a typical London restaurant establishment. Service was prompt and friendly, with a minor error on the bill in the end that the more experienced server admitted the mistake right away and took it to rectify.

One of the best Birthday dinner experience I've ever had. Excellent service and the tasting menu full of flavours,balance,taste and colours!!! Thank you for making my experience unique.

My daughter and I had a wonderful meal. The wine and NA pairings were a great compliment to each dish. Stellar dining experience and top notch hospitality. Very much looking forward to returning.

We do not have separate utensils, [but only] for vegetarian or vegan, which are kept only for them. We are a small restaurant without the space to accommodate something like that. All items are thoroughly washed, sanitised and sterilised in between uses. On being notified that we have a Halal guest attending in a few days, I make steps to make sure the menu will work for them. We have a 6 or 9 course menu. With 6 course we have 1 meat course. With the 9 course it is 2 meat dishes. As I understand it, vegetarian and fish and shellfish dishes are permitted as Halal food. Hunted wild game is ok – wild venison or wild game birds. If necessary we will order Halal lamb for a Halal main course, and make a separate Halal gravy to be served with the meat, then roast the meat in a separate pan, rest, carve and serve. Please call and give notice well in advance for Halal.

Eggslut Shoreditch

I happened to visit this place after reading a lot of positive reviews and I must admit they didn't prove those reviews wrong. I was immensely impressed with the quality of dishes they serve out to customers. Richmond was the waiter and he was super sweet, quick and passionate. The ambience is also well close to a cozy morning breakfast café. The dishes I ordered were the sausage egg and cheese sandwich with added bacon and the egg salad sandwich. Both these dishes slammed the ball out of the park. The quality of the brioche buns, the way they cooked and seasoned the eggs along with the meat is absolutely worth savouring. A bit expensive but the flavour of the plated dishes spoke louder. Nonetheless, if they increase their prices more than their prevailing prices, it will be an event of jeopardy. In a gist, I would definitely visit them quite often as I'm an egg lover and this place, if maintains it's standard, pricing and quality of cooking and serving good egg sandwiches, is a paradise for egg lovers.

Absolutelty amazing flavour. We got the pork burger, the egg and the sauce are amazing, would really rec. The french toast was insanely soft on the inside whilst crispy on the outside, and the custard dip was amazing. Would 1000% come again

This was a lovely place, highly recommended! Honestly, had the pork Romesco and it was fresh, good - honestly want to have it again.
Chef - Jirina, was so welcoming and jolly. Go to the Shoreditch Branch!
Will definitely be back.

The food was amazing…the staffs were all amazing a huge shoutout to Jirina who looked after us as well as Aneesah she was wonderful.

I would likely recommend this to my friends and family as it’s an amazing place to grab a bite of to from.

Delicious breakfast rolls and the French toast sticks are something else! Get the BEC and add a turkey sausage. Great service too from very friendly staff.

Our beef bacon, wagyu beef and turkey sausage are halal available at all stores!

The Munch

Fantastic takeaway experience from The Munch in Shoreditch! We ordered the chicken doner and lamb doner box, and both were absolutely delicious flavourful, generous portions, and perfectly cooked. Everything was fresh and packed really well, making it just as enjoyable at home as dining in.

A big shout-out to Majid, who handled our order with great care. He was friendly, efficient, and made the pickup smooth and easy.

If you’re craving top-quality doner in Shoreditch, The Munch is unbeatable. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my lunch stop at The Munch. My lamb doner wrap was fresh and extremely tasty, and it came out quickly. The place was spotless, and the staff were fun and helpful. A solid choice whether you want to sit down for a quick meal or take it to go — note, there's additional seating upstairs.

This place was across the street from our hotel (One Hundred Shoreditch) and it did not disappoint. Greeted with a friendly staff and a warm smile by all. The lamb doner kebab was delicious and the cheesy fries were a great add. Def check this spot out if you’re in the area!

Oh my goodness this place is delicious. We had the veggie platter and the chicken doner and it very seriously hit the spot. Warm bread came out to start, and a huge plate followed of delicious food. Will 100% come back. Thanks Afzal for such friendly service !

I visited The Munch today, and Afzal was working at the cash counter. He guided us very well and was extremely helpful throughout our visit. His behaviour was polite, professional, and genuinely welcoming.

We really appreciated the support he provided, and his excellent customer service made our experience much better. Afzal is truly an asset to your team.

BoB Burgers | Shoreditch

Great burgers. It's in LaLaLand which is only partially open at lunchtime through the winter. Staff are really friends. The cheeseburger is excellent, the spicy fries are tasty and the Szechuan pepper on them is lip numbing.

Incredible burger and the Szechuan fries are insane. Double up on the burger and make sure to get the honey chilli sauce for the best experience. We’ll be back again (and again, and again)

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had!! Amazing quality ingredients, super tasty and a great spot to hang out!! Love the branding too!

This is one hell of a burger! If you are on your search for honestly one of the best burgers in London, then look no further!! The best quality meat that you can find on the market today, paired with some amazing grilled AND pickled onions, american cheese and house made burger sauce what more could you ask for?! Will be back again very soon

More a 4.5... Really good juicy burger. The meat itself was a little on the bland side for my taste and could have maybe used a slightly larger bun for the filling that kept pouring out.
Got on £5 burger Thursday deal in January and so was excellent value. Though £14 for a double without chips is just a little too pricy.
Still that's becoming the top end of standard now so if you don't mind that, then you could do far far worse than going here for a bite.

Butchies Shoreditch

Tried the chicken burger with cheese and buffalo sauce — really tasty! The burger had a nice balance of heat and flavor, and the cheese made it extra delicious. The cheese fries were great too, though I wish there was a bit more sauce. Overall, a solid and satisfying meal!

I had higher expectations, but Butchies didn't feel a whole lot different to a standard chicken stop. I doubled up on the meat, and the burger fell apart as soon as I picked it up.
The service was fine. Not rude by any means. They were definitely understaffed. You need more than just two people on at lunch time. The atmosphere was bright and clinical.
Overall, the fact that I travelled two busses to get here, and spent nearly £20 on a meal, left me somewhat disappointed.

The best chicken for us German tourists, especially with that fantastic "sauerkraut"! ;) Huge thanks to the woman that served us on the evening on oct 31st 2025 for her brilliant service. She was kind, patient, and made everything perfect! We also loved the flair and the great music, such a fun experience! Thank you!

So I absolutely love Butchies. The food slaps, hence the 5 star ratings. BUT I had an absolutely transcendental meal one drunk evening a couple of years back with their now discontinued plant based burger. It was perfect. Cheesy, (fake) meaty, crispy, delectable. It ruined me for all other plant burgers (with the exception of Dumbo - iykyk). I now find that every time I walk past Butchies, think of them after a night out, or see their listing on Deliveroo, I am struck by the grief of no longer being able to order this burger. In times of stress, I find myself longing to call up their poor staff to ask if and when this burger is coming back. It’s been 2.5 years now and I just have to say - Butchies, bring back the damn vegan burger?? It’s crazy that you don’t have one on your menu in this day and age. When my friends want chicken, I want to be able to eat something other than halloumi fries, cheese fries, or mac and cheese!! The burger was so good?? I’m sorry if you didn’t get enough validation for it when it launched. But truly, bring it back, please. It’s been long enough x

Great chicken burgers and wings. Fries are good too. The real MVP for me was the gravy sauce tho, definitely upped the deliciousness factor, goes with everything. Highly recommend.

They've got some seating upstairs, clean, functional, not the most atmospheric.

All of our chicken is now sourced from a Halal certified supplier and certificates are available at each site. We sell alcohol, but we do not use it anywhere in the cooking process. We also sell bacon in some of our sandwiches. The bacon is cooked separately from other food items.

Island Poké Shoreditch

Great customer service — Wahiba guided me through choosing ingredients for a perfect level of spice in my bowl. Bowl was great, i’ll be back for more lunches in the future!

My first time of trying a poke bowl. Server Arjun was superb and explained all the options with patience and even made great recommendations on toppings and sauces. Hard working staff and lovely food. Arjun has converted me to a poke fan!

Absolutely loved the service provided by Raj! I will definitely be returning, thank you much

I love this place! The food was in great portion and the combination was perfect
Highly recommend the California salmon, the seasoning and sauce pairing were phenomenal 🤩
Salmon was fresh and delicious
The staff was really nice and friendly💕

The food was delicious as always. Hayleigh was very helpful, she went through the different options for me and even took our food to the table! As a visually impaired person  I really appreciate her support and customer service. Thank you.

Island Poke

Cottons Shoreditch

I had a really wonderful experience here. Coming from New York and having visited Jamaica, I’ve had quite a bit of experience tasting Jamaican food and I have to say- this place makes great food and prepares great drinks. I ordered a 2 for 1 rum punch which was tasty with a nice kick from the rum. I was accidentally brought the oxtails, I can’t comment on how it tastes but it looks great. I ordered the mixed jerk platter for 1 which I enjoyed, I also had a slice of macaroni pie. I typically don’t enjoy rice but I really enjoyed their rice and peas, you can really taste the coconut flavor from the coconut milk which I loved. The jerked meats were prepared very nicely, you can tell that the food has been marinated properly, everything was tender and falling right off the bone. The chicken was very juicy and the plantains were fresh and crunchy. It was very nice that one of the staff members overheard that it was my birthday and brought me out two shots. I look forward to returning here if I have another chance on my trip, highly recommended. 5 ⭐️ indoor and outdoor seating available.

Went to the bottomless brunch at Cottons Shoreditch with a friend and honestly had such a great time! The food was delicious – the jerk chicken was the highlight for me, packed with flavour. Drinks were strong, generous, and kept flowing the whole time (let’s just say I didn’t leave walking straight 🤣). The atmosphere was lively, with everyone around clearly having a good time. Perfect spot if you want good vibes, tasty food, and plenty of drinks

If you haven’t been here you are missing out. Genuinely one of the BEST meals I’ve had in a long time. We ordered the Salmon and Mutton main dishes with the Halloumi and jerk chicken spring rolls. We kept humming to the food and I’m a good cook but I cannot make this food at home it is THAT GOOD. The only thing better was Shaq and Andy who made our experience amazing! It felt like having a personal chef recommend the best dishes, and tweak their existing dishes to our taste. Their knowledge and charisma blew me away, the service is unrivalled and the attention to detail is next to none. They have won themselves a regular, thank you so so much!

Amazing vibe and atmosphere, Shaka made us feel very welcomed and felt like we was ay home. He made sure we was all happy with our food and drinks and made the effort to take nice photos of us. Would deffo recommend Cottons to anyone that would like to try Caribbean cuisine!!!!

Pretty good food. I got the jerk meat platter (pictured) and sweet potato fritters for a starter. Both were tasty. We got the 2000s menu and it was quite cheap! £19 for a starter, main, and a drink. Can’t complain.

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Old Street

This is our local Honest Burgers joint in the area. The eatery was packed with various offers & incentives for customers. Burgers were actually decent & as expected. We also got some free onion rings as advertised. But ambience inside seemed a tad cold. Perhaps it was due to the time of day, but I must say service was not exactly memorable.

Love the honest burger.
I have to say It has the most delicious onion rings in the world

Booked for a large group (30) for my work Christmas do, restaurant were really accommodating and understanding of dietary needs, payment options etc. Food was ready quick and everyone enjoyed, they even gave take away boxes for those who were full. Thank you so much to Michelle and the team for helping us to celebrate x

Nestled near Old Street, Honest Burger offers a casual dining experience with a focus on quality ingredients.

On my recent visit, I was excited to try their Halal options, specifically the chicken tenders. These crispy bites were nothing short of delicious, perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection.

However, my excitement waned when I sampled the Honest Fried Chicken Burger. While it boasted a juicy chicken breast, American cheese, and a medley of toppings like ranch mayo, lettuce, and pickles, I found it lacked the punch I was hoping for. The buffalo sauce was barely noticeable, leaving the burger feeling a tad underwhelming.

On a brighter note, the mint lemonade stole the show! It was incredibly refreshing, striking the perfect balance of sweetness and zest.

Overall, while the chicken tenders were a standout, the burger didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I’ll definitely return for that mint lemonade, but I might explore other options next time. If you’re in the area, give their tenders a try!

Our first time trying honest burgers tonight and we had 2 double smash burger meals and a side or large onion rings.

Everything was amazing, the rosemary chips were incredible and easily beat any other chips I've had from a food place in london. The onion rings are also great and high quality. I found the burger to also be very tasty with tasty contents.

Overall a great experience and really good value for london.

Will come again!

The Iskelé Restaurant & Bar

I am always thrilled to discover a low key, modestly priced neighbourhood restaurant that serves terrific food.  Great attention to detail.  Everything freshly made, even sauces and salad dressings (though I cannot be sure the bread was made in house).  Our order was not adventurous but represented consistently excellent versions of Turkish classics.

We shared the baba ghanoush as a starter which came with bread for mopping it up.  A really great dip, where the aubergine mash was redolent with charcoal flavour and sesame and just very subtly lemony.  A good size portion for sharing.  Served at a pleasant temperature not straight from the fridge.

For mains I had the lamb cutlets and my companion had the lamb kofte.  I asked to replace the fries that normally come with cutlets with rice, and that was no problem.  Meats were cooked medium and were served with a very fresh, bright, fiery ezme dipping sauce.  Like a chilli-spiked tomato and onion salsa.  My cutlets were good if a little under seasoned for my taste, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a salt shaker.  My companion's kofte were delicious, but some diners (not me) might find them on the salty side. Mince used for the koftes was lean.  My companion has a digestive disorder where fatty burgers, for example, make him nauseous a few hours later.  No problem with the koftes at Eskele.  The smokiness level of the meats was light, unlike the heavy charcoal flavour of the baba ghanoush starter.  Accompanying salad was dressed with olive oil and flavoured with lightly pickled slivers of red cabbage.  A step up from a lot of Turkish restaurants that serve only wedges of lemon with salad.  Rice looked plain but tasted very buttery.

Not being fussy about wine, we normally order the cheapest red at restaurants.  However my companion was distrustful of the house wine, because Turkish reds can be aggressively tannic so we had the Chilean Merlot for £27.90 which lovely, mellow and great value.

The restaurant was quiet despite containing a large group.  No music.  Dim lights but not dim enough to make reading the menu difficult.  Our server was very gracious.

Decent Turkish and Mediterranean food. The starters and mains came in good time. We e were a group of 5 and most enjoyed their meals.

The service was slightly off. We were hurried to order and encouraged to leave quickly after finishing our meals. I appreciate the staff wanted to finish earlier but left disappointed by their attitude.

This was a great find just minutes from Barbican Center. We were warmly greeted by Ali. The décor is very pleasant and the service was wonderful. We ordered 2 glasses of the Turkish red which we really liked. We ordered the baby broad beans as a starter. We had the Iskender plate with lamb and the lamb tagine as our mains. All dishes were delicious. Since we had a performance to get to we couldn't hang out for dessert.  Excellent Turkish food and highly recommended.

Lovely restaurant! The food was really yummy, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. I'm veggie and had a meze selection, the falafel and borek especially were very nice (probably the best borek I've had!). Others I was with had the chicken skewer and lamb cutlets, both enjoyed very much, and the desserts (Knafeh, tiramisu) and cocktails too. Special thank you to the staff for helping with my allergy related queries in a helpful and knowledgeable manner.

Will definitely look to visit again next time we're in the area!

Info - we were a table of three, we booked for 4:30 on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet when we first arrived, but started to fill up by the time we left an hour or two later, though wasn't completely full. Definitely worth trying for a walk in but if you want to go in the evening on a Sat I would recommend booking. It was very conveniently located for the barbican. The toilets were clean and well stocked!

We had a beautiful meal here and booked it through The Fork where we managed to get a generous discount. Staff were attentive and pleasant especially the lovely lady who made sure we had everything we needed.

The serving sizes aren't as big as we're used to at other Mediterranean restaurants, but found that it was enough to satisfy the whole family, but don't expect huge portions here. They however do not disappoint in taste so everyone's still very happy and looking forward to our next visit.

The staff of this restaurant has verbally confirmed Halal status.

Dishoom Shoreditch

1 hour wait at 5:30PM on a December Friday. Excellent Indian food in a cozy and eclectic setting. You sit in cushy armchairs as you share saucy dishes across a coffee table. Such a fun place to eat among good company. We ordered the fried okra, black daal, ruby chicken, mattar paneer, lamb chops, an order of rice and multiple orders of garlic naan. They were all do delicious and full of flavours and spices. I would happily order them all over again.

This is a nice restaurant with very friendly staff. It seems to be quite popular, as it was really full and we had to make reservations a few days in advance. The food is good, however, the drinks and coffee were excellent. My friends ordered the chocolate pudding and really seemed to enjoy it. While the dishes aren’t quite as authentic as I expected—more tailored to the local community’s taste—I think it’s still worth experiencing for yourself. Overall, it’s a pretty okay restaurant.

Amazing food! Dishoom never disappoints!

We had the chicken ruby, makhmali paneer, rice and roomali roti - all of which were 10/10.

What made the night even better was the lovely waitress (who’s name we didn’t catch but she has dark curly hair and tattoos) saw it was one of our birthdays and gave a dessert (Basmati Kheer) on the house!! What was already a lovely day was brightened by this gesture!! Thank you!!!

*one of our party is coeliac and their GF options and accommodations are great :)

Best Indian restaurant ever in Shoreditch. We had to wait a bit outside and then inside, but it was fine since it was warm and we could enjoy some drinks. Totally worth it — the food was amazing and the staff were great. Also, the online payment option is super convenient!

I tried Indian food for the first time with my husband – a very special experience! Everything was different from what we know of Turkish or German cuisine, very flavoursome and interesting. Some dishes took a bit of getting used to, but we really enjoyed trying everything. The atmosphere was great, the staff very friendly and attentive, and we especially appreciated the dessert offered on the house. Definitely worth trying for anyone curious about Indian cuisine.

Our lamb and chicken is Halal. Alcohol is served. Bacon is served on our breakfast menu. Ask a member of staff for details.
