@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Drunch Mayfair on Instagram

Drunch Mayfair

This was a pretty little spot in Mayfair so it enticed me to visit. When I arrived we waited about 20mins before we got a table inside. We were not keen to sit outside as it was cold although from what I saw they provided some blankets and had outdoor heating but we weren't very keen.

When we finally got inside the place was actually quite small. The service was quick. We ordered fish and chips and burger and chips. It was OK. Its a shame there wasn't more middle Eastern flavours coming through in what we ordered as I understood this to be a cafe inspired by Syria. We paid approx £20 per person not including drinks and there is a service charge on top. I would like to visit the other branches to see if the dining experience is any different.

Everything at this spot is just amazing. The food, the service and the atmosphere is just impeccable. Safa served me and she was the most welcoming and lovely person and added to the whole experience. The food was amazing and i also got really nice pictures here. Definitely recommend

The food was okay. It was quite overpriced for something fairly basic. My friend had avocado on toast and I had a Mexican Benedict. The Mexican Benedict came in a tiny portion and because it didn’t have any kind of bread, it wasn’t as filling as  the eggs Benedict you can get in other places. Similarly, the Drunch bobbycino was beautiful visually but was honestly a very poor cappuccino. I think this place is best for instagram photos and a catch up with friends while looking at a beautiful cafe, but I really wouldn’t recommend it for the food or drinks they serve. That being said, the service was outstanding and the staff were very friendly and attentive. They even handed out umbrellas to customers standing in line in the rain while waiting for a table. Really went above and beyond.

The atmosphere and the vibe was lovely, although the food was not great at all, especially the pancakes don’t recommend as they were dry and hard to swallow. The egg royale was okay but not something I’d order again as well as the Mexican Benedict which wasn’t the best either. Portion was small unfortunately for the price. Overall the only thing that I liked were the two drinks ordered which were the ruby hot chocolate and the coconut hazelnut latte. But the service was great and staff were understanding of the issue

Went to drunch for a breakfast meal. The restaurant looked nice at the main floor but lacked in the basement seating area. The place was quite small and I managed to get the last table for 2. When we sat down and ordered our food we had to wait a while almost 30 mins. I have a huge appetite so I ordered the full English breakfast and added a side of avocado and hallomi cheese. I also ordered French toast Banana & berries, Ricotta, Pistachio & Maple Syrup. Then also ordered hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was amazing and I liked the cute words they put on them. The French toast tasted alright, but still enjoyed it. The English breakfast however was a bit disappointing. The bacon was too salty, sausage tasted funny. Tbh I only managed to enjoy the eggs and the hash browns. The hallomi on the side was very dry

@londonfoodjourney's review of Aqua Kyoto on Instagram

Aqua Kyoto

This place is STUNNING. We went for bottomless brunch with bubbles and cocktails and they never stopped filling them up. The food was unbelievably well presented and tasted incredible, there were plenty of courses, appetizers, dessert and three choices of mains. It is definitely priced for a special occasion however, at £85/pp. But cannot fault it. The location is very easy to get to via tube and the decor including the balcony is elaborately designed to look amazing on photos.

Booked this restaurant for my son's 21st . Had gone in a few days before to see the place & notify them of dietary allergies. All was noted down .
On the day we were seated as per my request in a booth .
Took awhile for our drinks order to be taken. When ordering the appetizers I informed the waitress about the lactose & shellfish allergies. Was told that they can't give guarantee that there will be no  cross contamination. Which we understood. The waitress however failed to take the food order and only took the cocktails order.
I then called another guy Massimo explained re the allergy . He was helpful & took the order.
Food was really good with regards to presentation & taste.
The reason for give only 3 stars is due to the service . For a restaurant of this level I would have expected more attentive service we had to ask for our wine glasses to be refilled twice.
There was no shortage of staff from what I could see.
Danilo was also helpful by getting us a table at the bar after we had payed the bill in the restaurant .
If the service had been better I would def give this place 5 🌟.
Food , decor, atmosphere is amazing .

The Experience Menu was incredible.
Even got the Mrs eating the tempura Rock Shrimp and she hates shellfish usually!
Service was top notch and as you can see from the piks, the tables were well lit for those who like to actually see or snap what they're eating! 🙌🏻

Staff were lovely, the door lady complimented me & all of the other staff said hello and goodbye as me and my friend walked through. Beautiful restaurant, good portion sizes and lovely food. The servers were attentive and asked if we would like desserts or other drinks etc. We had 2 cocktails, 3 appetizers, 2 mains and 2 desserts for £140. They also brought out a small extra for my friends 20th birthday with a candle which I thought was very sweet.

A really nice evening dinner at this restaurant. Staff were friendly, we didn’t have a booking on a Friday night but they kindly seated us. Sushi was very nice, drinks were good. There was a DJ in the bar section but our table was near the bar so the music was quite loud, perhaps not the best place to go on a Friday night if you prefer a quieter vibe.

All meat is halal (except Wagyu). Alcohol is served.

Ping Pong Soho

The food is amazing, would give 5* but the staff lack communication and you have to repeat everything 5 times to different staff to get your drink or the bill. I canceled an order and they failed to remove it!
The food is really good! Must try it! But need keep calm an keep repeating if you want anything after the first order. Before 6  dim sum menu is half price and also on Sundays you can eat all you want for £26.50 sounds like a good bargain

The bottomless brunch was pretty nice, loved the cocktails and the DJ, but I didn’t enjoy the food that much. Had the regular Dim Sum Set and the vegetarian one, but it wasn’t quite my taste.

We enjoyed the stay in this restaurant a lot. The food was great and definitely delicious. The service was good as well. Just the music was a bit too loud to talk to each other.

I visited Ping Pong a week ago for the first time and was delighted. The food was delicious and the drinks were also very nice. My GF and I were served by a person called Paul who had a calming nature and ensured that we were happy. Overall very nice, I would recommend.

Beautiful place and vibe. Food has highlights and misses. Dumplings and fried tofu were amazing. Veggie noodles weren’t great. Anyway,  would 10/10 recommend to take advantage of the happy hour! IMO worth in that case.

Our chicken and beef is Halal. The Soy marinated chicken skewers are certified by The Central Islamic Council of Thailand. Our chicken is Halal slaughtered in the UK. And our chicken wings are from a Halal-certified supplier in Poland. All beef is raised and slaughtered Halal in Ireland. We serve non-Halal items including Pork, Duck and alcohol however each menu item is cooked separately.

Flocafe Espresso Room

Pretty cool espresso bar.

They have a very good selection of beans to choose from and the baristas are helpful when it comes to making a decision.

The desserts are okay. I think the selection could be better. The best thing I had was the lemon drizzle cake.

Very good setting and well located. Will be back 👌

Great coffee, friendly staff, ideal location for a pre-shopping pick me up!

Popped in for a coffee on the go. Good service but very busy . Coffee was decent but nothing special. Temp of the coffee wasn't hot enough but hey ho... Outdoor seating available which is a plus . More seating outside than inside.

Great coffee shop with amazing coffee and very friendly staff. The baked goods were also very tasty. Highly recommended!

Ordered a Honduras Premium flat white during my lunch break, very smooth, right level of sweetness, rich & tasty. Definitely will come back again to try different beans.

We confirm that all pork items are substituted with non pork items i.e turkey bacon (Flocafe do not actually sell any pork dishes) and these items are from suppliers with halal certificates.

Bossa Restaurant

Bossa, a Brazilian restaurant in London, offers an exceptional culinary journey. The bone marrow dish is a standout, with perfectly roasted marrow that melts in your mouth, accompanied by balanced smoky and herbal flavors. The chocolate tart dessert is a showstopper, with a glossy chocolate glaze and a luscious filling that blends sweetness and richness. Bossa's menu showcases the diversity of Brazilian cuisine, while the attentive service and ambiance enhance the dining experience. It is a must-visit destination for those seeking extraordinary flavors and a taste of Brazil in the heart of London.

Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in London. Such a creative and interesting menu, so much so that we couldn’t decide what to order so left it in the hands of our lovely waiter. I can’t say I’ve delved into Brazilian cuisine before but it’s safe to say my eyes have been opened! There is also a very charming sommelier on hand to advise on the wine list and we found her to be very helpful. An absolute must try - can’t recommend enough!

One of the top restaurants we have been so far! Everything is stunning from the moment you entry. All the dishes we have tried are unique and have its own story! Also to mention the Sommelier who perfectly paired wines with every course and explained the reasons behind her choice. The service was amazing through the whole experience. We also had drinks afterwards downstairs in the Maroto bar, which is a new jam. The club looks very sophisticated and classy with professional and welcoming service. It’s very rare to find a place where you can have a combination of amazing food, drinks, entertainment ans service, however, Bossa has exceeded any of our expectations! Definitely will come back ans recommend to visit!

Had an absolutely incredible evening at Bossa restaurant, the staff are so attentive and provide an excellent service. The food was absolutely divine- the scallops are an absolute standout, cooked excellently and accompanied by a delicious sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection and the whole experience was just perfect. Love the feel that you are moving through a journey of food, as the menu is set out as the beginning (starters), middle (mains) and the end (dessert) which provides a really great unique experience that you can really savour as opposed to other restaurants that can sometimes feel “rushed”. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a luxurious evening out!

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, and it turned out to be an exceptional choice! The scallops were cooked to perfection, complemented by the delightful tucupi sauce's acidity. The bone marrow melted like beef butter and paired perfectly with tapioca. The crab pastel was a sophisticated take on a beloved Brazilian street food, freshly fried and served with a delightful earthy acai sauce. The pork belly's crispness was a surprise, unlike anything we've experienced in London, matched with the famous feijoada! In addition to the perfect food, the service from Ola and Laís was incredibly warm and attentive, making our night absolutely perfect.

DF Tacos x Market Halls Oxford St

I ordered a buttermilk taco. The chicken was extremely tasty and very fresh. The customer service here at DF Taco was excellent. We will definitely be returning in the future!
Thanks to the team Akshay, Ivan, Roberk

AMAZING tacos in an amazing location, just off Oxford Street! Plenty of space for big groups and the team at DF are so friendly : )

The service from this restaurant was diabolical! I had to wait at least 10 minutes in the queue to be served and then once I had ordered my food, I had to wait over 25 minutes for my food to arrive. I am not sure why this was the case, did the chef take a plane to Mexico to source the ingredients? I wouldn't know because I don't currently hold a passport, but Im sure it will be on my doorstep when I go home considering the amount of time I was waiting. serious improvement needs to be made to the staff's organisation and time management, and It would be nice if the taco shells were actually warm, clearly none knows how to use a microwave let alone a fryer. The man who was meant to be serving spent more time playing with a plastic box than actually serving the customers. He clearly doesn't understand the difference between the work place and a school playground.

Bought some food from the one of the traders here (kebabs)
Tiny portions and overpriced
Chips over cooked and greasy
Not sure why they advertise that they serve Michelin stared food…..far from it!!!

Very good Tacos, great service! Will Coke Back for sure

The chicken we use in every DF is now halal-certified! However, we must highlight that we do also sell non-halal menu items in our business, including pork and non-halal beef. The chicken is prepared separately but we would rather customers notify us if cross contamination is a concern so we can be extra vigilant, clean surfaces and change gloves, etc. If you have further questions about this, please reach out to us.

Hand-made udon kitchen popular in the United States

Marugame Udon / 丸亀製麺 St. Christopher's Place

Marugame Udon is one of the nice and cheap places in London. I enjoy their food and take advantage of the cheap pricing.
Udon taste really good. You can have small sides like gyoza or tempura. They also have soda pop and other drinks.
Pretty much self service. Still people are nice there. But be careful with your payment. Before you pay check your order with the cashier person. Sometimes they charge for extra food that you didn't take. I don't think they do it intentionally but they do it. It happens to me twice and I have been there twice.
Other than that this place is quite good.

Stumbled upon with a friend and decided to try it. Loved the ease of their ordering system. Paying and then finding a table.
It was clean, well stocked and run seamlessly.
Food was really tasty. Thick noodles, soft, pull apart beef, super soft boiled egg and broth.
Their tempura 🍤 was gorgeous, light, crispy and not saturated in oil.
Would happily go back again, wish they'd open one closer to home!

Really nice and quick. I love the udon and deep fried bites. They’re newly open so they’re still sorting things out. For instance, we tried their soft serve ice cream and they weren’t labelled. One tasted like peppermint/toothpaste and was green and the other was plain vanilla we think because we couldn’t taste anything.

came here for the grand opening and was very pleased! staff were super friendly and helpful in explaining the ordering system. place is overall very tidy and clean. even though it was quite busy, i didn’t feel rushed to finish and took my time. food was very fresh and delicious! most importantly everything is well priced. i will be coming again to try the other dishes.

This is not a “restaurant” but a quick self service eatery. As soon as you go in, you are shown your trays and can order mains, starters, drinks, sauce & desserts from the counters. The noodles are fresh & are cooked in front of you - i went for the Kake noodles, prawn tempura, veg gyoza, pumpkin cakes & veg tempura. The noodle soup was brilliant - the starters were average but still good. Very clean & the staff are super friendly! I would come here again & recommend if you are looking for something quick & reasonably priced.

All our chicken is Halal. 30% of the menu is vegan so there is plenty of choice.

Please note mirin and soy sauce are used in a number of our dishes which contain alcohol.

BKC Biryani Kebab Chai

The restaurant is centrally located and serves the most authentic Indian food. The Biryani and Kebabs are fresh and meats used are succulent and nicely seasoned. The highlight is the chai and coffee served. Must try both for an relaxing and enticing experience.

The most authentic, tasty biryani and succulent kebabs in town.
Finish it off with refreshing Kashmiri Chai.
Lamb Biryani is a must try for all meat lovers. They even got vegan dishes !!

I got takeaway from this place twice and it was delicious and flavourful. Both times I had the lam Biryani and the galouti kebab. The only thing I would say is the portion size is a bit small as the biryani is not sufficient for two people.

BKC is incredible! Other diners can speak to the authenticity of the food, but I literally risked missing my flight and completely gave up the chance to buy any other souvenirs in exchange for another taste of the pink chai and the biryani at BKC. Worth every second of sprinting through Heathrow to savor each morsel of biryani right before takeoff. My only regret is I didn't get more food.

I know that sounds insane. But try the pink chai (delicate, flowery, lovely, the Grace Kelly of chais) and you'll understand.

Simple unassuming spot on Edgware Road with a short and sweet menu. We ordered the chicken and lamb biryanis along with a Galouti kebab. The kebab was excellent, chicken biryani was good and the lamb biryani was just alright. Super affordable though - and great service. Would recommend.

Deliveroo UK

All our chicken is from a Halal supplier. However, whilst products are prepared separately due to our open kitchen and fresh prep we cannot guarantee there is no risk of cross contamination within our kitchens. Please also note that all fried meat and seafood are fried in the same fryer. We have a separate fryer for vegan products.

Please also note mirin and soy sauce are used in a number of our dishes which contain alcohol.

Inventive approach to Indian cuisine with a cosmopolitan twist

We don’t endorse pork and any other meat other than Halal. We have chicken, sea food, duck, beef on our menu. All Halal.

Maui Poke | Holborn

Unfortunately they had ran out of the spicy tobiko poke bowl I initially wanted. The salmon poke bowl I got was still tasty. The portion was slightly on the smaller side.

Really fast service: you build your own poke at the counter and there are some seats for you to sit down and enjoy. I thought the food was quite fresh and tasty!

Great food! Wonderful service and the staff are full of energy. Great place to dine or take out. Josh are amazing!

You build your own poke. Pick your rice (white or brown) then your protein (tuna/salmon/crab/tofu/egg) and then your greens/veg (seaweed/mango/edamame/avacado/more) and then your choice of sauces! Looking to spend between £7.50-£13.50. A very dense dish for a heart lunch. Great to fuel you for your gym workout. Takeaway, but some seating for 7 people. Another location is Fitzrovia.

Best Poke place I’ve come across, staff are always lovely and welcoming. The ingredients are always fresh and perfect vegan kimchi 👌🏼

The beef gyudon we have in stock at our red lion branch is not halal. But the chicken in all our stores is Halal.

Cabana

Food 🍲 was amazing 🤩 and super stuffy I felt totally full after one main 😃 interior design is very well done and atmosphere is very nice too. The team is great and very helpful and knowledgeable. The thing that made me cut one star to four stars is that in my opinion prices could be just a bit smaller than they are right now. For sure I’ll stop by again as this place screams word - alive !!! Cheers 🥂 to that 🥂

We had the set menu with guacamole as a starter and the chicken skewer / burger. Guac was nice, the chicken skewer had good flavor but was very chewy. The burger was sand dry and had no flavor.

Drinks were good though. All in all would not recommend for food but for drinks & snacks.

Place is good, the atmosphere is amazing, you definitely feel in the caribbean! The food was delicious, super tasty! we got baked cornbread, flat iron steak (super soft and delicious), flat iron chicken (with Barbecue sauce, it was on point) and delicious cinnamon churros. The staff was super kind. Prices are a bit higher than expected but in overall was worthy. I'm coming back to this place.

Had a lovely meal last night. Food was really nice. Food come of hot
Good atmosphere. In and out before a show in West end but wasn't rushed out :)

I came here on a weekday for lunch.
The place is beautifully decorated and so colourful.

I had the Three Corn Salad £12.50 with Blackened Prawns for an extra £4.50. It was a really delicious salad, especially the prawns but I feel like the price was quite high for what it was.

The staff member who served me was really friendly and attentive.

There's so much space, this place would be great for a large group get together or event. There a table near the back of the restaurant with 3 huge sofas and chairs, making it into a section of its own.

My only feedback for improvement would be cleanliness and the toilets. The table I sat at had not been cleaned from the previous customer and water was dripping from the ceiling, directly onto the toilet.
Other than this, I really enjoyed dining here and recommend it!

All our chicken is Halal as is our rib eye, and lamb.

Casual Thai eatery with group tables and benches

Busaba St Christopher's Place

Haven’t been here for a few years and disappointed with some of the dishes which have changed in taste.

Short summary
Atmosphere - dated and needs a makeover
Staff and management - friendly and super helpful
Kid friendly - mainly for adults
Menu and range selection - standard selection of favourite Thai dishes
Recommend to friends and family - no anymore
Cleanliness - ok but need to sort out the mould in the restroom sinks
Note - a bit overpriced

Wonderful service from the staff across the board, delicious food and great atmosphere. Went with a bigger group (12) for a friends birthday and the order was perfect and even got some prawn crackers on the house! The birthday girl got many glasses of Prosecco on the house too!only thing I found was the music was a bit too loud was difficult to hear sometimes

Went here 2 days ago before my movie starts. Ordered beef red curry, rice and chicken strew. Chicken is very delicious while beef is a bit too salty. So I have to mix them otherwise I cannot finish the beef. Maybe next time I will order 2 small plates rather than a big curry.

Great attentive staff, the rating is due to some dishes been not so fresh in my opinion. The Calamari starter is great, chicken satay nothing special to be honest. The crispy duck in the noodles didn't taste very fresh. The staff really are very friendly and attentive however but the food can be improved.

One of the 10 Thai specific Busaba Eathai restaurants in London, this is conveniently located just off Oxford street, close to Selfridges.
As one would expect from one of Alan Yau's chains (Alan is the creator of Michelin star awarded Hakkasan and very popular Wagamama), the place looks exotic and the dim-lit atmosphere makes it feel cosy.
The large squared tables leave space for all the possible dishes one may wanna try.
The service is usually quick as well, as it was this time, and the staff friendly.
The now renowned ginger flavoured Thai calamari were tasty (some of my family members could swear they are unrivaled).
Probably one of the best dishes are the Ho Fun noodles (even though they are vegetarian, you won't believe the taste of these).

Most of our chicken dishes are halal! Just check with the manager on duty to find out which ones.

Burgeri

Went to this Halal burger place in London. It was packed on a week day, staff was polite. We had to wait 10mins to get a table. Coming to the food, we ordered a Wagyu burger which was really nice but not the greatest I've tried. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of the fact that their prices are on the higher side but the portion size is small. Overall, a good halal place to have burgers 🍔 if you have extra money.

Waited an hour and half to get a table. Someone came out at one point to say the wait was 10 minutes but this obviously not accurate. The tables and seats were sticky. We ordered 2 burgers, sweet potato fries and cheesy chips and for the price paid the burger was very small but tasted good, the menu would benefit from having the size of the patties written down somewhere.

Great taste. Great staff. Very busy. Long queue but moving fast. Orders are ready very quickly. Rich but simple no non-sense clear and quick menu, you know exactly what you order. No unnecessarily obscure fansy names. Not easy to find a seat but they have a communal stand-n-eat bar.
Close to Oxford Circus tube station.
Halal food.

Nice Angus beef burgers. Bit of a wait outside due to the demand but it was well managed by staff who let us eat in past closing time. Nice clean toilets too which is always nice when out in London. Would’ve had 5 stars if the burger had sauce in but it didn’t had to ask for it to be put in.

Overall experience: I’d say 6.5/10

👍 - The selection | The food itself | The environment (the seating)

- Location | Customer Service

👎 - Price | The menu itself (not very clear)

I had the ~Burgeri Special with french fries which is what can be seen in the photo below. The french fries were exceptional and the burger was nice.

I’d say that it is not worth the price I was paying for; I understand the expensive side of things due to its location (central london) but it quite reminded me of fat twins burger - just a bit more expensive 😅

In addition, customer service was of average quality. There were nice staff; however, my out of stock sweet potato fries, were automatically replaced with cheesy fries without consulting me.

Finally, the seating area is quite cosy and very well maintained.

We all already knew that the chicken burgers from @coqfighteruk BANG 🤤 A few weeks ago however, we happened to stumble across @manna_ldn in @arcadefoodhall by Tottenham Court Rd📍

Obviously حلال before you ask… and yes this still happens! 🙃 We ordered the “Single Manna Platter” each, which consisted of the hot smash burger (wowww) 🔥🔥🔥, a juicy chicken tender, crispy waffle fries with some unreal seasoning & a really good jalapeño dip 🌶 

I believe you can also catch a pop up of Manna at @batterseapwrstn at the moment 🤩

You. Are. Welcome. Xoxo

Finally tried Nashville Hot Chicken...no regrets!   Chicken tenders were crispy, loved the Creamy Jalapeno dip...didn't check there were dips included so ended up with 3 dips but all good as 2 servings were needed!  Waffle Fries also very good.  Can't wait to try the Smashed Burgers!  Online ordering and payment also genius...smooth and efficient.... no more waiting for your bill when the place gets busy.

@halalfoodbae's review of NAC Mayfair on Instagram

Delicious foods and great drinks ,really delicious cookies ,delivery was good and fast

I absolutely loved the staff at NAC. So gracious and friendly. My dining companion was wearing a deliveroo rider jacket and we did not feel judged or treated differently by the team here. The food itself was delicious, with generous portion sizes and lots of options for vegetarians. The highlight of the meal was the warm cookie dessert - feeling hungry just thinking about it. Highly recommend this place!

One of the best avocado toasts in London. The soft guacamole, the big slices of avocado, and the spicy dressing with chili flakes make it a must try and one of the most popular customer picks!
The restaurant has a simple and delicious menu, indoors and outdoors seating, and is great for lunch and brunch in couples or small groups.
We loved the terrace on a sunny day, the drinks menu, the indulgent desserts and the impeccable service.

Our chicken is Halal. We cook and prepare it separately to other non-Halal meats. Alcohol served.

Which Wich Superior Sandwiches

Which which did I have, the Salt beef. What an excellent sand'wich'. Loads of filling, fresh toasty bread, cheese melted to perfection. 🥪 Its like an American style sandwich shop, totally brilliant. Super service and the teller kindly brought mine over as I was hobbling. Thank you so much🤗

I love customizing my food and this place is the perfect spot to do that with an infinite amount of choices. The philly cheesesteak was divine and the shrimp po'boy was fantastic. The service is quick and friendly. A great experience.

Was really quiet, seems like a bit of a hidden gem! The sandwich was delicious, the servers were super helpful and the place was clean. Would definitely go back! I had the chicken club and fries. So good!

I was nicely surprised at how great the mega sandwich was. This was my first visit, I had the mushroom avocado and sweet potato fries with a mango passion all went down a treat and well worth the money.

I look forward to having the very same order again very soon.

The staff are vibrant and happy. Just a total vibe😍🥰

I’m a big fan of the chain in the US so when I was vacation with my wife and kids in central London and bumped into this branch, we had to grab lunch.

The concept is entertaining, and the kids love customizing their own toasty sandwiches. The Ultimate BLT was divine!

Awesome staff, a diverse menu, generous portions, and best of all it doesn’t hurt the wallet. Hands-on the BEST sandwiches and breakfast spot in the capital 👌🏼

The chicken is halal and we have a few seafood options as well. We are aiming to make the meat halal soon as well!

The Kati Roll Company

Tasty food and good service. A convenient location after doing some shopping on oxford street

Ideal for a single person that wants a quick lunch or dinner at £10. I’ve been there a few times in the past, and tried several kinds or rolls, the juicy chicken tikka and tangy stir-fried beef are good. However, the roll is small, we usually buy 2 rolls per person plus a drink.

Very cozy place, nice and tasty Kathi Rolls of too much variety. You can also have beer, tea etc. Very much popular among the visitors from Indian subcontinent. You can pay by credit card also. No table service, you have to help your self. Rest room is also there.

Food is mediocre at best, tiny portions, fairly nonchalant service

Chourangi

This is a lovely restaurant in the Marble Arch area. It serves authentic Bengali (north-eastern Indian) food. The restaurant has a great ambience. The staff was kind and friendly, and the food was delicious. The menu has a great mix of vegetarian and meat dishes, and some really nice cocktails. I would highly recommend!

What a wonderful evening, hosted by Bengali folk made all the difference. I really appreciated the personal touch of the chef meeting us and making recommendations.

The food was really good. Good wine list too.

Great tasting Indian food, definitely not like your other standard Indian places, a lot more unique and very flavourful. The chicken curry was very creamy and super aromatic. The lamb one was earthy and spicy. The Dahl was absolutely delicious, super rich and creamy, exactly how it should be. Overall great food. It was, however, very expensive for an Indian restaurant, and for the price I would have expected something mot special

What a beautiful restaurant! The flavours from each dish was incredible, we were impressed from the moment we walked in and by all starters, mains and desserts...oh and cocktails! The service was so lovely too and very friendly and thoughtful. We will definitely be coming again. Absolutely amazing!

I especially planned to go only there to have a dinner and it was great without any doubt. The ambience, the food, the hosting, the service each thing was perfect. As a Bengali I always crave for Bengali food and Chourangi fulfilled my craving. Much recommended place to have a special dinner with family and friends.

Food: The food was amazing! N ordered the Mozarella Potato Pancakes which came with roasted veg, and for the first time ever he actually ate the broccoli 😂 AND said it was yum! I asked for a Full English Breakfast (clearly playing it safe) which was delicious, but I wish I branched out as everything looked so tasty! The Indian Breakfast was also fantastic; it was actually quite spicy. But guys, the best thing has got to be the Karak Chai!

Kula

We've been here a few times and it never fails to disappoint. The menu is extensive with a lot of different options including some amazing fusion dishes. All the dishes seem to have a little something special that just makes them taste quite unique and simply delicious! Both the sweet and savoury items on the menu are a must try as are the fresh juices. Family owned and run which makes it warm and homey. Worth stopping by for sure...

Really delicious pancakes and friendly efficient service. If I'd been able to get the waffles we visited for this would have been 5* but they had a limited menu that day as they were down a chef. Otherwise really good 👍

Nice little coffee place with plenty of outdoor sitting for the location. Lots of initial potential given the really lovely looking cakes they have on display, super decorated and with some pretty fancy complex shapes, as can be seen from my the pics. However, the chocolate cake while pretty good, was much better looking than the taste. The crepe with Nutella and strawberries was okay, but the cappuccino and espresso we had were quite bad, especially the cappuccino, like as of burnt coffee beans, overly hot and watery, not creamy at all unlike what it should be. Let's just basically say they really have to work on their coffee.

I really enjoyed my meal at Kula Cafe, London. The flavor was excellent and the service surpassed my expectations. My parents who are picky eaters loved the Chapati and pancakes and loved it!! Will definitely visit when I am in London again.

Such a great experience had the most fluffiest pancakes ever. Great price for the the quality and quantity of food you receive. I’m recommending this place to all friends and family would definitely be coming back to explore the menu more! I had 4 pancakes, loads of berries and maple syrup for only £9.90. 10/10

We are a completely halal dessert/brunch shop!

Tattu London

Trendy new Asian restaurant in London! Tattu has been around in other cities like Leeds and Manchester but excited to see it finally has made its way to London!

The food was delicious! I loved the creative spins on classic Cantonese cuisine. The vibe inside is very cool as well - it would definitely be a great place to celebrate a birthday!

Our server, Liberty, was so so sweet and gave great menu recommendations! We will definitely be returning!

Great ambience. The cocktails were awesome - we enjoyed a Silken Shadow (chocolate cocktail) and a Skull Candy (pink vodka cocktail!). The food was pretty good and beautifully presented. We had Date and Chestnut Dim Sum, Crispy Squid (yum!), Shanghai Black Cod (delicious), Candy Rice and black sesame Broccoli.
And of course - the desserts. So pretty and tasty! We tried the Cherry Blossom (highly recommend) and Dragon Egg (special but does not disappoint).
We will be back for sure.

Myself, my husband and my friend from USA had a lovely dinner at Tattu Restaurant. Ambiance was lovely and designed for Christmas. Food presentation was good and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Our waitress was very helpful and thoughtful, I forget her name sorry for this.All staff was extremely polite. Just some food was very salty or had very black paper tasty. Menu is very poor and it is far better options in London for upmarket for Asian food.

Absolutely incredible! I've been to the one in Manchester but this experience blew my expectations out of the water from the moment we were received at the entrance to the building. The greeting at the bar was breathtaking. Liberty our server looked after us impeccably. Her soothing voice leading us through the journey of Tattu and the food we were about to experience. I can't wait to return

This restaurant expanded to London not too long ago, and was definitely a good decision! Other than the fact that it took us 30 minutes to locate it and the guards gave us the wrong direction, we had a good time here.

Started our lunch with some Wagyu beef dumplings. The spice level was perfect - its spicy but not the kind that burns your mouth. Overall, while they look great, I didn’t find the taste to be out of the blue thus wouldn’t re-order.

Mains - the lamb cutlets were lovely. They come medium-rare so you can’t pick how you like your meat cooked, but the texture is pure goodness. You only need a little bit of the vinegar dip. Definitely worth ordering vegetables on the side which I didn’t. Mock chicken is yet another one of my favourite mains! Tastes almost like real chicken and goes well with rice.

Cocktails - the skull candy is a great cocktail. As mentioned in the description it is indeed pure vodka with candy - tastes like one of those strawberries candies we’d eat when growing up. A little too sweet for my liking but to each their own.

We spent slightly over £50 pp for 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 side dish, 1 cocktail and a water which matched out expectations given the quality of food and the overall dining experience.

Our chicken and lamb are halal. Some of our dishes do have alcohol reduced down in the sauces, however an allergy matrix will get brought over for you to help with your decision. 

We do also have a good selection of seafood and vegetarian dishes also.

Tattu

Yosma Express

Amazing modern Turkish did in a sublime setting off an old converted church

Massis

Average food and pricey.
French fries very oily, no salt. Had to ask for salt and ketchup. The ketchup was cheap and sugary alternative to Heinz.
Shawarma wrap had very very crispy bread, it seemed as though the bread was heated for a long time. Not your usual shawarma. Fatouch and Lebanese spicy salad mediocre.

Kebab khash khash and ordinary kebab ok.

Verbal fight in kitchen between employees not that great in front of customers.

Reaks of shisha tobacco not great if your non-smokers and if you have a family with young children.

They have very good shisha we love and hot drinks and snacks I love spending time there and the stuff especially Adrian and Carla wow the are so nice and hard working always serving non stop and taking care of customers

I love this place for a quick and tasty lunch.  The food tastes fresh and the portion sizes are spot on, a lovely place to visit and sit outside enjoying the atmosphere.  I'd definitely recommend.

Worth visiting just for the Falafel - crispy on the outside and soft/tasty on the inside.  Hummus and Fattoush also very good.  Felt the cheese parcels were a little bland  and couldn’t taste the pine nuts.  Friendly, helpful staff.

Feya

Very nice place with excellent customer service. Also, great choice of cakes and beverages . I loved their attention to detail. Confused a little that on the way to the bathroom states ‘staff only’.
Also, a bit pricey, I must say but I had a very nice experience.

The decor and presentation of food here are very pretty. It's a nice experience for a lunch or brunch treat but you'll find better tasting and better priced food other places close by.  The popcorn chicken was good but a really small portion for the cost. The rose pearl latte was a highlight, I'd order coffee in here again but skip the food.

This branch is a lot smaller than you’d think. It is very pretty. Cute. But it’s too small and poorly laid out to really be Instagramable. Their toilet is past a door that says staff only. Their coffee is lovely. But the omelet made both me and my friend violently ill in their loos.

It looked really nice and welcoming from outside, so we popped in to have some coffee at about 10:40AM as it was pretty empty. We found lots of delicious looking cakes on display and cute pink chairs and sofas. They were very comfortable to sit on.

I ordered flat white and it was good.

Soon after we sat down, people started coming in and it was totally packed by the time we left the cafe. The lunch dishes looked really nice. I didn’t even looked at their food menus since I wasn’t hungry, but I may try it next time.

This is really a great Instagramable cafe with a nice colourful decor. The breakfast tasted as good as it looked which is a bit rare find. The coffee and desserts were also really good. Definitely a worthwhile visit.

Gopal's Corner Oxford Street

Already super impressed by Roti King branch in Euston we came here to give it a try in Oxford Street. I must tell you, it actually surpassed the super high praise which we had for the EUSTON BRANCH. They had an added item on the menu "THOSAI" 

We went for lunch after busy morning at Oxford Street and we loved it. It was our first experience of having Malaysia food and we weren't disappointed at all. We ordered dosa and chicken leaf platter. Not only the food was very tasty but alll the condiments were lovely and had unique taste. For the location I thought the prices were excellent. Would definably visit again.

Have been here numerous times. Market Square  is a great meeting place where you don’t have to worry about finding a cuisine that’s acceptable to everyone.
There are lots of options. My only problem is that I haven’t tried anything else as I love the roti canai.
The roti is flaky and fluffy. The mutton curry is delicious, and for Central London the price is pretty good.
Definitely give this a try.

Absolutely incredible Roti canai. 10/10 meal. I had the chicken roti canai and it was delicious; so much flavour in the curry and the flaky Roti was amazing. I ended up ordering extra rotis so I could finish every last bit of the curry. Highly recommend

Food is not too bad, but not good enough compare to Indonesia and Malaysia. Not authentic basically. If you see the chief and staff, you will eventually aware that it’s an Indian food. The rice is fine, though not steamed in the right method. Their sauce tasted like from Malaysia, but too creamy for the laksa. Price is too expensive, 20 per cent service fee without any service served like take-away. Never go there again.

The only good thing which desires me to give more than one star is that they haven’t put MSG in it. Thank you! Terima kasih!

Overall, for the local guests cannot taste anything different. If you do know much about Malay or Indo food, you will be disappointed.

Additionally, they don’t take cash.

We don’t sell alcohol but all three Markethalls sites in Oxford street, Victoria and Canary Wharf have a bar.

Gopal's Corner

@eaststreeteats | The coconut prawns were something new and definitely something we’d order again, the slight coconut flavour in the breadcrumb worked really well with the prawns and sweet chilli dip.

This was probably one of the best chicken Pad Thai’s we’ve tried, fresh and full of flavour especially with the lime and the chicken katsu was super crispy, while the curry sauce was rich and creamy. 

Overall this is a great place with a wide selection of items on their menu, all great value for money and a unique atmosphere, definitely somewhere worth trying out.

East Street by Tampopo Fitzrovia

Ordered the sharing platter. The sharing platter was really good but I really expected more servings. The serving was so small I feel like it’s only good for one person. Nonetheless, service was good and price was fair. I would definitely come back 😊

I come here often with friends and I never have a complain. I even organised a company event here and the managers were very useful and friendly.
The staff are always so friendly and make jokes which really is rare but so nice for a London restaurant.
They aesthetics are very vibrant and colourful, the drinks can be a bit too watered down sometimes but not always so I guess it’s just the bartender.

A few friends and I regularly eat here.

The staff are helpful friendly even when they are busy.

My favourite is the vegan pad Thai.

Just the right amount of spice. Really comforting food on a cold winters evening.

And check out the bathroom experience lol !!

Varied pan Asian menu. Enjoyed the corn fritters - generous portion too. Singapore tofu curry quite sweet and mild. Had a bit of food envy for friend's sweet potato katsu.

Went there yesterday after a couple of years - yes the food is still fantastic! Absolutely out of this world! Highly recommended:) I used to go there regularly when I worked in the area but will definitely make an effort to start visiting more often:) The best restaurant in the area, the food is fresh and absolutely delicious!

We have Halal, vegan and meat options available.

East Street

My Old Dutch

Fantastic place with an amazing range of savory and sweet pancakes! The best savoury and sweet pancakes are ones with chicken and Nutella, respectively. You have to try the lemonade too! Size wise, the pancakes are ridiculously humongous, you won't need to eat anything else that day again! 😆

Very impressive. Pancakes look like pizza.  No much flavour though. Sweet pancakes are much better

Amazing food and dessert pancakes! Also have vegan and gluten free. :)

Amazing selection of sweet and savoury pancakes and much more. Very sizable portions and fast service

The only pancakes that ive had that were better than these were in Amsterdam! Brilliant place

All our grilled chicken is halal and our chicken curry pancake is halal.

The Orange Buffalo

WHAT A SPOT! Their WOOF WOOF wings are out of this world!

WINGS of the highest order! Sauces are AMAZING.

The chicken at all of our stores is Halal. We do serve alcohol.

Shake Shack Tottenham Court Road

Love this little place that's new in. The staff are friendly and have manners this is very very hard to find in Birmingham. The place has been done up to an above satisfactory level. They have all the food needed for a burger joint. The management are well mannered and have a smile as I mentioned before a smile when entered can determine if you will come back again

I had a cheeseburger “shake burger”, fries and an ice tea. I loved the fries, perfectly crunchy and just the right amount of salt. I though the burger was great as well, but it is grass fed beef so not the same flavor profile or texture as US corn fed beef. Perfect bun!

I took my mine to go since I wasn’t sure how long it would take but ended up eating it there. The food came fast and there was no problem getting some extra ice in my drink.

Not great. Been to other shake shacks and they’ve been much better. The meat tasted like it was on the turn and the chips were cold and stale with hardly any salt. Lemonade was good though! Will go down the road to the Covent Garden in the future.

Clean and plenty of seats. Staff were patient and friendly to serve. The toilet is a little messy probably due to lack of manpower to clean up. Foods were prepared quickly without compromising the taste. We ordered a burger, cheese fries, choc milkshake and frozen custard. The best was the frozen custard.. it's small yet pricey, but definitely worth the money spent!

Lovely food. Very slow service. I only ordered a strawberry lemonade and that took them 20mins to make. Shop wasn't even busy. Missed my bus. At least speed up your service if you are going to open a restaurant in front of a bus stop.

The chicken we use in our Chicken Shack and Chicken Bites in every UK Shack is halal-certified, including our 2021 festive Black Truffle Chicken item. 

However, we must highlight that we do also sell non-halal menu items in our business - as such, our beef is not halal. We hope this helps but if you have any more questions, please do reach out to us.
