Marinated Lamb and Seafood Bibimbaps at Superstar BBQ, Korean favourites 😍 the beef was tender and seasoned beautifully, just about the better of the two! We couldn’t go to a Korean Restaurant and not order Duk Bok Gi, one of our best-loved starters, along with Crispy Calamari!

P.S. only chicken and lamb is halal.

@twopeasfoodies's review of SuperStar BBQ Holborn on Instagram

SuperStar BBQ

We had a great time at Superstar Korean BBQ! The lunch was absolutely yummy, and the food quality was excellent for such a decent price. I really loved the good vibe of the restaurant, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The staff provided good service and were very friendly throughout our visit. I truly enjoyed my experience and will definitely be coming back!

Great appetizers at Super Star, their kimchi jeon is fantastic! Their Korean Fried Chicken and Yuk Gae Jang is also very delicious and a must try. The Bibimbap portions were a little smaller than expected but good. The chicken fried noodles were ordinary.

This was my first time trying Korean and also experiencing cooking at the table.

The food was fantastic. Our waitress, Melissa was exceptional. She helped me choose from the menu, ensuring I got to sample the best and make choices that were both wide ranging yet economical.

I would definitely come back.

Ps. I only took two photos, the rest were videos and I can’t upload videos to show just how great everything was 💛

Great food. Great service. Will come back again. Try Bingsu for dessert.

Bibibamp were quite nice and authentic too.
Fried chicken is not so Korean style but good on its own style. Pancake was thin and crispy, how it should be!

We booked a Groupon voucher after checking the dates it was available, and when we arrived we were told they weren’t doing that anymore somehow. After showing them the voucher and the fact that it’s still valid and listed on the website, they reluctantly sat us down and told us they’re gonna make an exception. For what? We were still paying customers and they made us feel so unwelcome.

On top of that, when the food arrived it was all horrible. We ordered the side of 5 dumplings and they brought us 2 (despite the menu listing 5), and when we asked why they said they changed it for the Groupon vouchers. Again the change not listed anywhere. Because three pieces of frozen dumplings will really make a big difference to their revenue🫠 Also the Fried chicken was practically inedible - pink inside, and the chicken bibimbap smelled and tasted of fish! No idea whether they just didn’t care to cook our food properly or what was done to it but it was one of the worst meals I’ve had in London.

The whole evening we felt so unwelcome and treated poorly so we had to leave as the food was disgusting on top of that.

A shame because the last time I went to this place, we really enjoyed it but the management needs to get fired frankly. Do not recommend.

Our chicken is Halal and since all ingredients are prepared separately, there’s no risk of cross-contamination. You may ask staff to change the grill upon seating.

Shake Shack Tottenham Court Road

I rarely give 5 stars on food, but this deserves it! This was hands down the best food I've had in a long time! The burger was so soft and juicy. I ordered the Shackmeister and it was amazing! The chicken bites and the chips just added to it, and the caramel shake was so good! 😋 they even had honey mustard too!! Try this food, you won't be disappointed.

Stopped at Shake Shack on Tottenham Court Road for a quick bite and it delivered exactly what you expect—fast, consistent, and solid across the board. The burger was juicy and well put together, with the usual soft bun, melted cheese, and good balance of sauce and seasoning. Fries were hot, crisp, and not greasy, which is not always a given with fast food. The shake was thick, smooth, and tasted as it should—rich but not overly sweet.

Service was fast and efficient, even during a busy stretch. Staff were polite and kept the queue moving without cutting corners. The space is clean, seating was available, and the turnover was fast enough that it did not feel cramped.

Pricing is what it is—higher than average for fast food, but still worth it for the consistency and quality you get. You know what you are getting, and they stick to it well. A dependable option if you are in the area and want something quick but better than the usual chains.

I would also suggest that they have the world’s smallest sink in that toilet lol! Should’ve been much bigger!

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)
I absolutely love Shake Shack! The food is always fresh, and the burgers are to die for. The ShackBurger is a must-try—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The crinkle-cut fries are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of salty.

This is my first time trying this location and Lochitha welcomed us with a smile and helped us with our order, which made the experience even better. The vibe at the location is always great, whether you're grabbing a quick meal or hanging out with friends. I also appreciate how clean and well-kept everything is, which shows how much they care about quality.
Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re craving a quick but high-quality meal. Thanks to Lochitha and the team for always making the experience awesome! Can’t wait to return!

The service was fast, friendly, and very smooth. Ordering was easy, and there was a good variety of options on the menu.
We didn’t have to wait long at all — the food was prepared quickly. Most importantly, the food was clean, fresh, and very delicious.

A great experience overall, and I would definitely visit again.

Delicious food, quiet and spacious, but extremely expensive. We orders for two people, a burger, fries and milkshake for both of us, and i believe the price came up to around 50-60£

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.

Burgeri

This is a bit of a late review. I've been here a couple times last year, received good service by a lovely lady named Neha (we'll miss not seeing you there anymore) but the overall customer service is also good.

Really enjoyed the food here, served piping hot and delish. Will definitely be back again soon :)

I recently dined at Bergeri on Malborough Street and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant is advertised as halal, which is a big plus for inclusive dining and it certainly delivered on quality. The food was excellent with a really good variety to choose from — from a strong selection of vegetarian dishes to hearty Angus beef and tasty chicken options. Everything we tried was full of flavour and beautifully presented.

The service was equally impressive. Staff were attentive, friendly, and made the visit feel welcoming from start to finish especially Masuma, who was amazing. The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and vibrant, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

Bergeri offers both great food and great service, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to eat with plenty of choice.

Music was a little loud but that was just my personal opinion not a criticism 😃

Basically meat used in the burger is not good. The prices are nice at the beginning but then after tasting the burger you wish you did not sot in this place. They are slow as well and the best service. Do not recommend this their is a lot of other places in London

Burgeri is really delicious! The onion rings are light and not greasy, the hot dog is amazing, the buns are soft, and the burgers taste great. The spicy burger with jalapeños was a bit too hot for me, but still tasty.

Service was quick, and the staff were helpful – though they could definitely be a bit more welcoming and make customers feel more appreciated.

One area that needs improvement is cleanliness: the tables and chairs weren’t the cleanest, and it would be nice if they paid more attention to that.

The space itself is quite big with plenty of seating, and we didn’t have to wait or deal with crowds. Overall, a solid spot I’d come back to.

Burgeri is a halal American style burger joint.

The staff are friendly but the food didn’t quite live up to the price.

The strawberry mock tail was £6.10 and easily the highlight for me as it was delicious and very refreshing. I’d come back just for this.

The b special burger was £7.90 and wasn’t bad and the cheese was nice but the overall taste didn’t stand out. I’ve had better locally.

The chips (large) were £4.70 and were disappointing - thin fries are not my style and the peri powder wasn’t tasty.

Sauces like tomato ketchup and mayonnaise are free.

The price overall was £18.70. I feel that the price didn’t match the quality of the food so I wouldn’t come back unless I was nearby.

Feya

Beautiful food and a lovely chill atmosphere. The staff was attentive, polite and accommodating to allergies. The food was delicious with generous serving sizes and absolutely beautiful presentation. You can tell the love and effort they put in to everything here, would definitely recommend.

The place is quite decent, though it looks better in the pictures. The food is beautifully presented, but I didn’t enjoy the sour cream on the pancakes — it felt a bit too greasy. The coffee was just okay. The tables are pretty but a bit too small for two people once the plates and coffee arrive.

This cafe is so beautiful, we were served by Prince and he was friendly and attentive, he always made sure we were okay. The food was delicious, We got the Rose Avo toast and the Egg Benedict, the presentation was gorgeous and we also got the Ube Lavender Matcha and the Lotus Latte, we also added cute little bears.

Lavender latte with a friendly bear on it is such an adorable idea!!! Love it!
The cafe is very easy to reach with public transports and it’s located 2 mins away from Selfridges. Its interior design is pretty and cozy.

Feya is more than just a café—it's a beautifully curated experience where presentation, design, and taste intertwine. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a treat-yourself moment, it delivers on charm and flavor. The menu is a visual feast—think pancakes crowned with whipped-cream flowers, beetroot hollandaise Eggs Benedict, rainbow‑colored lattes, smoothie bowls, and the Rose avocado toast. It was a great experience!!

Stylish modern venue open from late breakfast, with an eclectic menu and an evening shisha garden

@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Drunch Mayfair on Instagram

Drunch Mayfair

During festive season we went there for a pist shopping refuel. There was a queue outside to get a table. But it took 10-15 mins to get a table inside. The hostess and servers were friendly and polite, the place was packed and it took. About 10 mi s to get our orders.
I usually go to Drunch  Refents park branch in Saint johns wood which is far more soCioysabd the outdoor spacious is great in comparison. However the buzz of the branch in Mayfair makes up for the cramped space - the tables are very very close to each other h other.

My comps ion ordered the French toast, which was epic and soo delicious. I had fresh mi t tea and egg white onekwttewith mushrooms and tomatoes which was incredibly flavourful. There was an option of gluten free  bread ( extra ) which I took.
We finished of with espresso and mini doughnuts filled with chocakte that is great for sharing and reducing your deset i take.
All in all this is a great place I would pop in for quick  delicious food post shopping in Bobd street area.

Went on a Friday around 10am and the place was full inside, lots of seating outside with heating but it was too cold.  Had an acceptable 10 minute wait which was fine.

Service was super quick, drinks arrived promptly and food followed shortly after.

Overall a lovely experience, staff were pleasant and polite.  Food was good and the juices great.

I’d say slightly pricey, especially as theirs a 12.5% service charge on top.  That said the location is prime and I often question how places like this make money with such high overheads and staffing costs.  So overall I was happy to pay what I did.

I would be sure to return again if I was in the area.

I was here for coffee and dessert, and that's what I got. I got the bobbycino for photo purposes and it was successful in that manner; however, I wouldn’t buy it again. I'm not sure if the flowers on the bobbycino were edible or just for decor, so I pushed them aside. The dessert was definitely better than the coffee and the stuffed bears everywhere are so cute.

I went there in September and honestly loved the vibes and the food, we ordered egg Benedict on bagel, a chicken wrap sandwich (wasn’t my personal favorite  as i don’t like cabbage in sandwiches and this sandwich was my friend’s order and i just tasted) the feta roll (The dough in which it was wrapped in tasted off but i think it isnt their fault and probably when it was purchsed, filo dough are tricky to handle) other than that the filling was delicious and the ambience was great.

The food here was overall decent! I ordered the Mexican Benedict which was absolutely divine😍— as a vegetarian, I really appreciated the fact that they have multiple veg options on the menu. My friend and I also tried the chai pistachio latte, which was equally divine. She ordered the beef tacos with sweet potato fries and enjoyed her meal too.

The downside for us was the experience. The space is quite small and felt congested, and while we were having a deep conversation, staff interrupted us frequently — even asking multiple times if I had finished eating when I had clearly said I wasn’t done yet. That was pretty frustrating. We gave this feedback in person before leaving.

We also wanted to try their shisha but unfortunately it’s only served after 5pm, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall: food and drinks are lovely, but the service could definitely be improved, and the space might feel a little too cramped if you’re looking to relax and chat.

Flocafe Espresso Room

Located in a great spot in London near Oxford street. Not so many coffee shops serve the famous Greek Freddo Espresso In London but this coffee shop has the best Freddo Espresso and many other coffee choices. Very nice staff the guys welcomed us like we knew them for years. Highly recommended for good coffee or snacks. Many thanks guys 💙👍

The Best Place In London To Spend Your Time Good Quality Coffee Lovely Staff And Great Atmosphere 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟stars ❤️

I was visiting London with my family and was feeling a bit unwell. The super caring lady in this wonderful coffee shop so kindly offered me a sanctuary in the corner whilst my children and grand-children were able to go off and see the lights. Two cups of early grey tea and a welcome almond croissant worked magic and revived me. I just really want to say a huge 'thank you' to absolute angel of a lady who so generously offered me a reviving space in this warm, atmospheric premises. She was so kind ... there are still some lovely people in this world. Would thoroughly recommend this gem of a coffee shop.

The staff were very kind and took the time to explain the differences between the coffee beans, helping me choose the one that suited me best. The cappuccino was absolutely perfect. Thank you, ladies 🫶🏻

Love this place! Great coffee, great vibes. Definitely worth it 😍😍😍

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.

Tamarind Kitchen

Great modern Indian restaurant in the heart of Soho. The decor is classy, service is great, food is fantastic (everything was very tasty, special mention to the starters - crab cakes and samosas - only the lamb shank was a bit of a letdown). It’s a bit on the pricey side so be warned. We booked the private room for 8 and it was a quiet and colourful room. I’ve been to many good Indians and this one ranks amongst the best. Forget Dishoom which has turned very bad these days, try the Tamarind Kitchen instead, I highly recommend it!

Omg!!! I just found an amazing Indian food with amazing cocktail restaurant! We were hungry and I am definitely gonna say that this have been by far my amazing experience dinning in london🫶🏻 …. Very decent and delicious food, lovely atmosphere and great service! The chicken korma worth getting ur hand on!

My wife and I had an amazing dining experience here. Our reservation was for 22:15 because we were coming right after a show and the kitchen closes at 22:30. We knew it was a bit of a stretch but the service was sooo amazing nonetheless. They accommodated everything and more for us. I did not get the names of the members who accommodated us but it was a young lady and gentleman and they were awesome.

The food is another thing. A1! I recommend the lamb shank FOR SURE! I will most certainly be back and will be happy to patronize this wonderful restaurant again.

Thanks Tamarind Kitchen for making our late anniversary dinner super nice!

Went in for a very late dinner and caught them just before kitchen closed. We were lucky! We had a mix of a coupe small plates, grill plates and a veggie solution. It was all very good and tasty. It was pricy given we didn't have a single main though.

We dined at tamarind kitchen for a date night. We were given a table and requested the hostess for a different one which she kindly accommodated. The drinks cocktails alcoholic and non-alcoholic was fantastic. The papdi chaat was tangy and delicious. The main course portions were big and filling. The Briyani was flavourful. The butter chicken was slight thinner which is  unusual to texture of the dish but tasty. Overall a good dining experience with good service and ambience.

The staff of this restaurant has verbally confirmed halal status.

@londonfoodjourney's review of Aqua Kyoto on Instagram

Aqua Kyoto

The best place in London for fresh, exquisite Japanese cuisine. Of all the meals I enjoyed in London and Paris, this was my absolute favorite. The ambiance and entrées were outstanding. I will definitely return on every visit to London and highly recommend it to anyone traveling there. 🤤🤤

This is a fantastic spot for an elevated dining experience. The stylish, dimly lit ambiance is perfect for a date night or celebratory meal. The Unlimited Sushi Platter offers incredible value, and the quality and freshness of the fish were consistently top-notch. Beyond the sushi, don't skip the small plates—the crispy, flavorful Katsu Buns and the delicious Takoyaki are absolute must-try appetizers! Great service sealed the deal.

I’ve been wanting to visit Aqua Kyoto for a while, and it truly lived up to my expectations. The interior is stunning, and the menu offers a great variety, including a fantastic tasting menu for first-timers. The service was impeccable—staff were polite, genuinely positive, and clearly proud of the restaurant, which was so lovely to see. The food was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the atmosphere felt like a refined, quiet understated luxury rather than something loud or in your face. I would absolutely recommend it.

Aqua Kyoto in London is a great spot for anyone who loves good food and wants real value for money. The set menu is genuinely impressive — unlimited sushi, unlimited cocktails, a main course, and a shared dessert all included. The sushi was fresh and tasty, and the cocktails didn’t feel watered down or rushed, which was a nice surprise.

The food overall was very delicious, and each dish felt well put together without trying too hard. For what you pay, you get a lot, and it feels worth every bit. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are friendly and quick to help without hovering.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great overall experience. Very different to anywhere we'd been before. Bit of a club/restaurant hybrid, which we enjoyed very much. Service and food were both excellent. Very good choice of dishes and everything we chose was wonderful, particularly the Sakura Blossom dessert. Amazing!

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

@halalfoodbae's review of NAC Mayfair on Instagram

Wonderful Dining Experience at NAC

I visited NAC last night at 8 PM with my family and had an excellent experience from start to finish.

For starters, we ordered olives, beetroot hummus & feta, and halloumi fries with honey sriracha — the halloumi fries were absolutely delicious. In mains, we enjoyed the truffle Beyond burger, chicken sliders with sriracha mayo, popcorn chicken with spicy mayo, and truffled mac & cheese. For dessert, we had the speculoos French toast with raspberry and clotted cream.

We also tried two refreshing drinks — one apple, elderflower, mint & soda, and the other blackberry & vanilla lemon. Every single dish was delicious and freshly made. The popcorn chicken with spicy mayo, chicken sliders with sriracha mayo, halloumi fries, and blackberry & vanilla lemon drink were the absolute best — highly recommended!

The service was truly outstanding. The staff was extremely polite, attentive, and professional. They made sure we were comfortable throughout our time there. We also appreciated the high chair provided for our little niece — making it a very family-friendly place.

A heartfelt thank you to the manager and the staff who served us — they took great care of us and provided exceptional service throughout our visit.

I would highly recommend NAC to everyone looking for great food, superb service, and a pleasant dining atmosphere!

Absolutely in love with this place! We ordered many of their most popular dishes and were not disappointed! Their vodka pasta was amazing, as well as their truffle mac and cheese! Don’t get me started on the dessert - just lovely!! If you are in London definitely do not miss out on this famous spot. Overall, I had a great experience and I will for sure visit again!

my partner and i celebrated our 2 year anniversary here tonight and absolutely adored every second. we had sarwar as our waiter and he was so incredibly attentive to us! he spent so much time making sure our food was up to par, had a nice chat with us, and even surprised us with a sweet message on our dessert plate (and wished us a happy anniversary during dessert, and as we left!)

our food was DELICIOUS too, everything had so much flavour and kept us very happy, especially their tomatoes, they were super fresh! i’m so glad that we chose NAC to celebrate our special day. thank you for such a memorable night!

The food was great. Everything was delicious. We ordered small plates to share between the two of us: honey sweet potatoes, torched cauliflower, tomatoes and burnt brioche, chicken sliders, and a serving of fries.

I would get everything again, except for the torched cauliflower. It was too big for two people, and whilst it tasted good, it was rather plain.

The prices aren’t great but what can you expect from the location.

As for drinks, I think I ordered the orange and lychee mocktail. It was nice. Very refreshing and on the sweeter side.

We got a plate of the viral cookies for dessert and it was scrumptious. We couldn’t finish it but if we could have taken it home, I’m sure we would have demolished it.

NAC Mayfair never disappoints.
The place has that perfect blend of chic London vibes and warm, welcoming service. The menu is full of comfort dishes done right, but the real star of the show is the cookie dessert. Soft, warm, perfectly gooey in the center with just the right touch of sweetness — it’s honestly one of the best desserts in Mayfair.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite or a late-night treat, NAC delivers every single time. Highly recommended.

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

@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.

@cravinghalal's review of East Street by Tampopo Fitzrovia on Instagram

Tampopo Fitzrovia

What a lovely spot! Myself and my partner booked a table last minute online with no hassle. Our server, Maisha, was super nice and very helpful. We ordered the seafood sharing menu, which was slightly spenny but considering the restaurant’s location, understandable. Menu highlights - roasted hispi and Thai fried sea bream. Great for group outings and families!

4.7 is an honest rating, and it’s definitely our discovery of the year so far!
We tried the Christmas menu, which is available for groups of 4+ persons. It includes many of the most popular dishes from the menu and turned out to be a great choice.
In addition, we ordered Pad Thai and chili/garlic edamame — both were amazing.

All the food is prepared with great care and full of flavor.

The place gets quite busy, so making a reservation is recommended.

The street-style Asian design creates a great vibe, and the service was good as well.

Ofc you have to love Asian food to enjoy of it, many plate has strong tastes, which I love. So it’s recommended.
We will definitely come back with friends again

We had a few doubts before going in because the restaurant was quite empty, but oh my gosh… this ended up being some of the best food we had during our London trip.

The flavours were incredible — the laksa soup and the chicken patty were simply amazing, full of rich and authentic taste. Everything felt fresh and comforting.

The prices are absolutely reasonable, especially considering it’s located in a very touristic area. If you’re looking for affordable, delicious Asian food, this place is a huge recommendation. We loved it and would definitely come back! Maisha was amazing.

Staff we welcoming, friendly and informative - happy to chat to customers about the menu and to consider dietary requirements.

The venue is aesthetically fun, stylish and relaxed, comfortable lighting and the chairs weren't the uncomfortable type.

There was mid-volume music on, creating a nice atmosphere, I arrived early so wasn't talking but the volume was perfect for other tables to talk easily and for me to enjoy the music. Poppy RnB type bangers.

The food was good, I ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee which took a while but I was advised this when I ordered so didn't mind at all. It was very sweet and pretty strong (I'm a bit of a decaff girl these days so that'll be me jogging off the energy for the next hour or so)

I had two small plates and a side, rather than opting for something from the brunch menu - which sounded delicious and I'll try if and when I come back.

The pork gyoza were nice - I wouldn't say they were exhilarating, but they tasted good. Portion size was decent for around £8 in central London. The sweetcorn fritters were tasty, I would probably order them again. The only thing I would have liked with them would be maybe a spicy/sweet dip like a gochujang or a spicy Thai chilli jam.

The side of cucumber kimchi salad was a good size and tasty.

Overall I've given the food a good, but not amazing, score - because it was definitely tasty, but I was hoping for bigger flavours, maybe more of a kick of spice or sweet or umami.

I would come back and try some of the brunch items, and some of the large plate items though as they sound nice - I would recommend coming here, don't be discouraged that I didn't give the food a 5/5, it's a nice spot and worth a punt.

We stumbled upon this restaurant as it was one of the only places open after the theatre, and I’m glad we did.

With so many countries’ cuisines to choose from, we went with the beef rendang roti, nasi goreng and katsu udon soup, all of which hit the spot. Especially given the price, it exceeded expectations.

The restaurant was decorated with interesting trinkets and signs from a variety of Southeast Asian and East Asian countries, everything was perfectly curated and made us feel like we weren’t actually sitting in London. Would definitely visit again.

We have Halal, vegan and meat options available.

East Street

Casual Thai eatery with group tables and benches

Busaba St Christopher's Place

Been here quite a few times now and it’s one of those places I keep coming back to. The food is consistently good, especially the Pad Thai, which is always well balanced and not too greasy. The satay is tender and the mango sticky rice is a solid dessert choice.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, great for casual meals with friends. Service is usually quick even when it’s busy. It’s not over-the-top fancy, but very reliable, which is why I keep returning.

The décor is amazing—wood tones, warm lighting, and Thai aromatics make it so cozy that you instantly feel like you’ve been transported from London to Bangkok. The restaurant is spacious, with large tables for eight—perfect for sharing, or enjoying solo when it’s quiet.

💷 Weekday Express Lunch: £12 for a main, +£2 for a drink, +£3 for a starter. Hard to beat in central London!

🍴 Food highlights:
•	Pandan Chicken: tender, wrapped in pandan leaves, served with a sesame-flavored sauce.
•	Chargrilled Sirloin Steak: surprisingly good with Thai-style fried egg noodles.
•	Pandan Pancake: rich, fluffy, with banana, nuts, and ice cream—super satisfying.
•	Guava Collins: refreshing, not too sweet.

A perfect spot for cozy vibes and tasty Thai food in the heart of London!

This restaurant was recommended by a lovely receptionist named Aya. She really loves Pad Thai, especially the one from this place, so I finally decided to give it a try.
From a Thai taste perspective, I do think it tastes good, but it doesn’t really come across as an authentic Pad Thai. It feels more like a general Asian dish with some Pad Thai elements rather than a fully traditional one, if you know what I mean. I also felt like they added a bit too much MSG.
That said, I totally get why it tastes this way, especially since the owner is actually from Hong Kong and not Thailand.
Overall, I still enjoyed it :D

Feeling like back to Bangkok !
I really like this restaurant’s decoration ^^
I just finished shopping at Selfridge, and Busaba is literally just behind selfridge.

I always order pai Thai in every Thai restaurant, but I still quite like Busaba’s pai Thai.The noodles are cooked just right — soft but not soggy. Every spoonful is bursting with authentic Thai flavor.

They also offer  fresh smoothies, I quite like Guava 😚 feel like I am super healthy.

Today is my sister’s birthday and we came to this restaurant. Sujal prepared lots of surprise for us including birthday cakes and a plate with ‘happy birthday’ word! I really appreciated with his kindness and love. All of us are soooooo moved!! We will definitively come here next time!!!

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

Busaba

Tongue & Brisket

I stumbled upon this Reuben sandwich in the heart of London, and it was a flavor-packed surprise. The bread was fresh and slightly chewy, perfectly holding together the generous layers of tender, juicy beef. The meat had that deep, savory flavor you expect from a deli classic, balanced by the tang of sauerkraut and the creaminess of the dressing.
Paired with a tropical Fanta, the salty and sweet contrast made each bite even more satisfying. It’s hearty, indulgent, and perfect if you’re craving a taste of New York in London.

This place is already a 5 star on its own, but Hafiz and Allister just doubled the experience.

Food’s amazing — beef brisket is soft and you can ask if you prefer leaner or fatter cuts.. it’s served warm.. u can’t even imagine beef bagels can taste like this. It’s divine.

And service by hafiz and allister always make the visit a joy! I’ve been here a year and come an average of once a month. I will take the tube a station or two just to have this.. wish I could have this forever

We visited May 28, 2025. This was the closest to a NYC deli we have ever found, and the sandwiches were almost as good. Quick service, nice and clean (and small) dining area.

Food was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and friendly.
Had to pay £1 each to sit inside to eat our meal.
Roast beef and salad sandwich.
Salted beef and salad sandwich.
Chips.

I’m a big fan of salt beef sandwiches and usually go to the Brass Rail in Selfridges or to Brick Lane. But passed this place so decided to give it a try. Not good- the salt beef was stringy and chewy. Bread was nice but that was all. Was also quite dirty. Next time I’ll stick to my regulars!

We've had to change some of our suppliers since COVID19. Our salt beef and tongue is no longer Halal. But all other meats such as roast turkey, roast beef, chicken schnitzel, chopped liver and chicken soup are all still made with Halal meat.

The Kati Roll Company

I am in absolute love with this place the food is marvellously delicious. I wasn’t hungry much but when i took the first bite of achari panner roll i ate entire roll over filled stomach. Also, i took a bite of chana masala which is also delicious and a masala chai which was an absolute taste of the one i make for myself at home. Loved it.

I would recommend try achari panner if i u love a lil bit tanginess and a cheese (Apetina panner) like roll

Really enjoyed the food here. The parathas are freshly made and not frozen which is rare and makes a big difference.
Tried the aloo masala and chicken, both were tasty and good value for money.
Would’ve liked a bit more sauce but can’t complain.
Food 8/10.
Ambiance 8/10.
Would go again.

A great place to buy lunch if you're shopping on Oxford Street. Decorated with Bollywood posters, the service is fast and the food is good value. The rice plate comes with salad, your choice of protein, paratha, a spicy masala mash And relish.

Great vibe, can't believe they have a UK location. I visited a Manhattan location over 10 years ago and was just as satisfied as I was back then.  Don't forget to get a masala chai with your roll, you'll enjoy the combination.

It's quite a small place with limited seating but serves the best Calcutta street food- the delectable rolls of Kolkata.
They come in a variety of compositions, suitable for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
The unda-chicken roll is highly recommended.
And of course they also serve Thums Up! India's favourite soft drink, with a punch!
The decor blew out minds. It's just full of old posters, mostly films but also political, resembling what defines Calcutta.
The downsides- unclean toilet and the tea wasn't great. Best to avoid both.
It's also a shame that they charge separately for sauces and chilli.

Tattu London

We had our office Christmas lunch at Tattu London, and it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the décor was absolutely exquisite. Staff were super friendly and attentive throughout.

We chose the 3-course set menu, which was more than enough food—everything was delicious. The sushi was fresh and crisp, the steak was perfectly cooked medium-well on a bed of asparagus, and the dessert was sweet and moreish. We added duck pancakes and char siu pork, which were both tasty, but honestly, the set menu alone is plenty.

One funny note: the round tables look like Lazy Susans, so everyone tried to spin them at some point!

Overall, a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m trying more of their cocktails!

This was my first visit to the London location, having previously only been to the one in Edinburgh. While I found the venue charming, I don't think it matches the appeal of the Edinburgh spot. The food was quite tasty, but I don't feel it offers good value for the price. I understand the location is busy, but I could find similar dishes for significantly less in nearby places. I sampled a few cocktails, and while the cherry blossom was enjoyable, it was a bit lacking in quantity. What stood out to me the most were the music and our server, who I believe was named Alex. Overall, I wasn’t particularly impressed and don’t think I would return.

I had a really good experience at Tattu, the atmosphere is very cool, they had a DJ while we were there, along with a nice fitout and a number of rooms.

It was very busy when we first arrived at 7 with alot of people leaving and others coming in, this lead to a delay at the cloakroom and a bit of a build up of people on the upstairs lobby. It took a bit over 5 minutes to be seated.

The cocktails that we had were all nice, well presented and had a unique trist to them. I think the tea service was so so and keeping the water topped up during the meal could have been better.

The food was generally expectional, we had the mixed dumplings taster, which all rated nice and again was well presented. The sticky beef which was great.

Our mains we had pork belly, tofu and shredded duck fried rice. I thought the duck fried rice was ok but not at the same standard as the rest of the dishes, it tasted like something I could get at a local shop while everything else tasted expectional.

We had the pagoda chocolate desert, which was nice but I think I would give desert a miss if I went again.

Service seemed attentive and friendly but also a little slow at times given the number of staff and the 14.5% service charge I think it could be better.

We went just before Christmas. Everyone was seated in an area away from the flowered rooftop which was disappointing, as that was the main reason we booked. We were given a far more expensive menu, and only the 'set menu' upon request. The starter and dessert was average, but the main was excellent. I found the servers a bit hit and miss. Our main server was very friendly and accommodating, changing wine when it wasn't to our taste. The starter however, came out before our drinks had even arrived. Another woman was quite rude and seemed offended when asked questions (which she told us curtly not to ask her, but the servers). I asked her later politely to take a photo of me with the flowers, and she seemed irritated. It's a shame as we mostly enjoyed our experience, but for the above reasons it's a 3/5.

I had an incredible experience at Tattu!
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was stunning – elegant, modern, and full of character. The food was absolutely exceptional, with every dish beautifully presented and full of bold, authentic Chinese flavors.

What truly made the evening special was the service. Our bar manager, MICHELE, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His knowledge of cocktails and attention to detail were outstanding — each drink was balanced, creative, and matched perfectly with the dishes. You could really feel his passion for hospitality.

Tattu isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a whole experience — one that I’ll definitely be coming back for. Highly recommend!

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.

Chourangi

What can I say, this was the first time we visited and me and my husband we're blown away!
I booked a table for 3, me, my husband and my 2 year old, I was very surprised that they let us dine with our baby as we have difficulties with alot of the restaurants who do not accept toddlers for dinner, we also do not like to leave him behind and enjoy having him with us in the experience!
I booked the dinner for my husbands birthday, we were held in traffic so I had to return arrange our table twice which to my surprise the team and I will specially mention Palash we're absolutely amazing, he was very very polite and was happy to hold our table. When we arrived Palash informed us that they have held our table for us and to sit on the far corner table as we were with baby (the best seats) we felt like they really thought about us, and we felt very comfortable as our little one can be a little noisy too therefore those seats felt like we weren't in anyone's face and not disturbing others.
Now the food was just mind blowing, me and my husband we're blown away by the different style of food we had, my husband said it took him back to Kolkatta from when he visited years back and that to me was very special. We loved the every single dish!!!! We went for the tasting meal and we were so happy we did because it was more than enough and we got to try a variety so we were happy.
The only reason why I felt like I couldn't give 5* was because there wasn't much options for baby apart from chips which was fine for us as we took his own food with us but the team really tried to cater for him too, we also felt like the aubergine dish was a little too sweet for us but still very tasty, the dessert I felt like it was very tasty but it wasn't much different to what he usually have, although we enjoyed it very very much.
Me and my husband defiantly had one of the best meals in a very long time so thank you to all the team at Chourangi, a special thank you to Palash and the other boys (I couldn't get their names) thank you for playing with my little one and for his sweets (which i will enjoy hehehe)
I honestly could not fault you guys for anything!
We will definitely come back very soon and be your regulars.
Once again THANK YOU for a wonderful evening.
Love Papeya, Himadri and little baby Devansh!

Amazing restaurant for authentic Indian Bengali food! The host who served us was so welcoming, always smiling, and made the experience even better. Every dish we tried was really, really tasty – full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Price-wise it’s reasonable, and the portion sizes are just right for one person. Overall, a wonderful place to enjoy delicious Bengali cuisine with warm hospitality. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for Indian food with a difference, this is the place to come. The menu takes inspiration from regional food in India that you don't usually see in a standard curry house. The dishes all tasted great, but the aubergine with mango was the standout feature for us. The service was also friendly and attentive and the decor is stylish and calming. We will definitely be back.

Came after sunset during a weekday. There was no crowd. Excellent service and atmosphere. Ordered chicken butter, steamed rice, and butter naan with cola (cost around 45 GBP). The food taste was average, not spicy, although I asked for it. However, I didn't ask to change the dish or even discuss it with them.

We stopped here on a whim and had some of the best lamb curry we’ve ever had.
The Kosha lamb was perfectly seasoned, tender, melt in your mouth lamb.
The staff recommended this dish and we could see why it was their specialty.
Wish we discovered this place earlier in our visit to London - we would have tried more dishes.

Which Wich Superior Sandwiches

Which Wich Superior Sandwiches really impressed me with its freshness and variety. The bread was soft and flavorful, with different cuts to choose from, and the sandwich fillings tasted just as fresh. I loved how you could customize everything to your preference, which made it feel like a meal made exactly for me.

On top of the sandwiches, I was pleasantly surprised by their cakes and coffee. Both were a great addition and made the whole experience more enjoyable. It’s a spot that feels healthy yet still indulgent, and I’d happily come back whenever I’m craving a wholesome but tasty bite.

We ordered a bacon 🥓 muffin which tasted mouth watering.
It arrived very fast and very hot.
Also an ultimate breakfast muffin which was bacon 🥓 sausage  and one egg.
My friend ate this one he said the sausage was juicy and tasted very good.
The egg 🥚 Yolk was hot and runny and tasted very nice.
10/10 Will be back soon.

An amazing sandwich spot to grab a quick bite to eat. Pair with side of fries or chips and your favorite beverage!!!!

-chicken sandwich: 7/10, didn’t originally order this but might be my new protein choice it was really good and juicy
-fries: 7/10, salted to perfection and crispy

We visited the Tottenham Court Road location – it’s a busy area, but we easily found a table. Service was quick, and the staff were really helpful.
I had the Shrimp sandwich and it was excellent, while my friend had a vegetarian option and really enjoyed it. The chips came in massive portions – great for sharing!
Love the whole concept of customisable sandwiches, and the friendly staff/atmosphere, good prices,  makes it a place we’d happily come back to. Thank you.

We got the philly cheesesteak and roast beef with mushrooms. Both sandwiches were really great! Hot throughout, bread was perfectly toasted and the fillings were tasty. There was a very polite server, we didn’t catch his name but he was very friendly. We will be coming again in the future for sure! I would say always go large as you definitely get your money’s worth when compared to the size of a regular

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

Another new restaurant for you guys to check out.  @soho_wala is a new Indian Street food joint that's just open its doors just off Oxford (next to Burgeri)
.
I do like my Indian Street food so was pleased to try the latest offering in the Indian food scene. I had some really nice dishes here in particular the matchstick chicken wings and the okra fries. Most small plates are only £4 which for the area is very good value. The small plates where served in little food carts which made good playtime for me as I'm a grown man child
.
The menu has a lot of variety so there's good options, from classic Indian Street foods like pani puri and bheli puri, grills from the clay oven and some popular curries. .
I only had one curry (butter chicken) and didn't rate it, there wasn't much balance in flavour and it lacked the sweetness one would expect from a good butter chicken. . 
The biryani was light and delicate. I found the lamb kebab to be a little dry
.
The venue itself is modern a simple in its setting, nothing fancy, a colourful decor and would be good for any causal occasion
.
I would definitely go back to try more of the menu. Chicken and lamb halal. Alcohol is present.

@halalfoodguy's review of Soho Wala Soho on Instagram

Soho Wala

I have just visited the Soho Wala restaurant and had a wonderful experience. Our waitress, Aarti, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She helped us choose dishes from the menu with great knowledge and care, and regularly checked to make sure everything was perfect. The service made us feel truly looked after. The food itself was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back again.

Went for the Indian afternoon here and must say the food was really tasty and everything tasted really fresh. There was a range of different tea's and coffee. Would definitely go again!

We recently tried the new Bollywood beats set menu at Soho Wala and were genuinely impressed! Huge quantities, lots of variety, The flavours were bold, authentic, and beautifully presented – a perfect blend of traditional Indian spices with a modern twist. Every dish on the menu had something unique to offer, and you could tell real care had gone into crafting the experience.

A special shoutout to Alisha for her warm and attentive hospitality. She made us feel so welcome and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout our meal. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her energy added to the vibrant atmosphere of the place.

Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great Indian food in the heart of Soho. We’ll definitely be back!

Catered for British taste ( not authentic Indian taste ) !!

We ordered a lot of vegetarian dishes including Pani Puri, Bhindi Kurkure, tikki, churchur Kali Dal, Baigan Bharta, chilly paneer, aloo Gobi and Soya biryani and Mango lassi.

Only 2 items were as flavourful as we would have liked as fellow Indians - Bhindi Kurkure and Soya Biryani .

The rest of the were of poor quality and no taste.

The Mango lassi was frozen , and was still almost like Ice with flavours dissolved in the ice.

Pani Puri had no flavours at all. Puris were not fresh.

We asked them to make the tikki crispy, but it was very soft.

Chur Chur naan is supposed to be crispy but it was soft.

Baigan Bharta was more like pav Bhaji and we were confused what we ordered.

Would not recommend it if you are from India and looking for authentic Indian taste.

Went in with fairly low expectations, but the afternoon tea was a pleasant surprise. The food was great, and our waiter Ramadan was genuinely amazing — super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special.

Gopal's Corner

I got the seafood laksa and mutton rolls while my friend got the chicken banana leaf platter. Lasksa was tasty and a good size. Mutton rolls were flavourful but could have been a larger portion. My friend enjoyed her food but said the okra fries could have been less salty.

great food, fast service, good prices and halal too.  we went there for lunch before uni so it was pretty busy but luckily we got a table. would definitely go again.

I ordered a takeaway from Gopal’s Corner on Oxford Street today as I was in the area, and I’m honestly disappointed. The food was drenched in low-quality oil, and the portion size was shockingly small for £12.50. I received just four tiny prawns — this dish used to come with king prawns! Feeling cheated and still hungry! Definitely not the quality or value it once had.

toooooo much oil i felt nauseous after eating this. the bread was good though and the nasi lamak was okay but it tasted too strong of prawns.  + the iced tea was okay but a bit too sweet for my liking.

The most amazing food we’ve had on our trip to London, the chicken curry is buttery, flavoursome, has a perfect blend of chillis and mixed spices, it melts in your mouth and is delicious, the rotis are buttery, flaky and to-die-for!! Sudhakar is so kind and makes the best food! Excellent service too! Thank you so much we will definitely revisit whenever we’re in London on Oxford Street!!

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

Bossa Restaurant

Amazing experience, very exquisite combination of flavours and textures. The quality consistency in the dishes served to our table was impeccable! How can such delicate fish be cooked to perfection so many times? The wine menu is also incredible, bringing innovation and a fresh perspective within classic regions. A must-go in London!

Great place, excellent food! Bone marrow with tapioca was the best one I’ve ever had. We also had the scallops, which were also delicious.
As main, moqueca is definitely a must-go and the pork belly a perfect recreation of our feijoada.

Had dinner for a birthday celebration. Everything was perfect, food was great and staff were very friendly and attentive. Did not expect to get a mini birthday cake from the restaurant, which is very sweet of them. Congrats on making the Michelin guide. Definitely recommend!!!

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.

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!

Maui Poke | Holborn

Used to be super great! Despite the hefty price of £10.50, I was very happy with the portion size, food quality and taste.

However, recently I have noticed that the portion size has become very small. I got only 3 pieces of mango in my house salmon today and not a lot of other ingredients generally.

Was very happy otherwise 5/5 but now that the portion size is lower (specially on my purchase today 14/07), team and I will be considering lunching elsewhere.

Good value for money, the poke bowls are pretty big and you get a lot of seasonings, I bought the spicy salmon bowl and it was delicious, lots of salmon!
Think it's better value than some of the big sushi chains, would recommend for a lunch and even takeaway dinner!
Staff were also lovely.

Delicious chicken katsu poke bowl, v filling. Their daily offer is great!

Love it here! I go here nearly everyday and have not gotten sick of the food - been going for nearly 2 years straight!!

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.

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

Maui Poke

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

@halalfoodbae's review of Manna Soho on Instagram

Manna

Arrived at the food hall just as it was opening up so it was very quiet and empty. Was recommended to try Manna by a friend so wanted to check it out. Ordered using the QR code on the table which includes an added 12.5% service charge to your bill. Phone reception wasn’t great so needed to join the WiFi in order to place my order.

I went for the double Manna burger which had 2 smash patties, onions, pickles and manna sauce. Really enjoyed the flavours from this burger. The sauce had a sweet and slightly spicy taste to it that went really well with the onions. A really good burger that is worth trying!

Delicious smash beef burgers, loved the additions and good quality beef patties. If you like meaty burgers then go for the double. The waffle chips served hot and crispy 😋 it is located inside a very nice food court, you don't need to queu to order someone would take you to a table and you place your order through an app and they bring it to your table a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.

I can’t seem to understand the low reviews! I loved the burger, tasted great. It reminded me of a gourmet Big Mac. I’d definitely add another patty to it next time.

I ordered the platter, came with a tender, waffle fries and dips. Total was £16. I would say it’s on the pricier side and didn’t include drinks but I guess that’s standard for these days.

My food arrived quickly, can’t complain about anything else! I’d definitely go back.

Manna located in the centre point foodhall has a great atmosphere, loud but pleasant, with plenty of seating options around. The food was good but the burger was let down by a weak sauce that dragged the otherwise crispy smash burger down a few levels. The Nashville tenders and fries were all great though, but the jalapeño dip was rather bland. Overall for £20 it’s a sizeable portion of food that’s solid throughout but missing an edge to make it a great experience

Amazing burger one of the best i have ever tried.
it melts in the mouth 10/10
The fries was crispy
Nashville chicken was ok little dry
The music was soooo loud you could hear the person next to u. Hope they lower the music to enjoy the place

Hand-made udon kitchen popular in the United States

Marugame Udon / St. Christopher's Place

Food - the food used to be brilliant! However as times gone by the quality has dropped immensely. Before there were many condiments and garnishes on offer but not anymore. Also the quantity of sauce offered with the food has reduced.

Service - there isn’t much service and the staff are usually behind the counter.

Atmosphere - the restaurant is not busy anymore but it’s usually clean and tidy.

I won’t be coming back. There’s photos here from a number of visits.

The second time I ate at this chain. It's good to have cheaper options if you are on a budget or just need a quick bite. I like the atmosphere and aura of like being in Japan... even the toilet was clean and the seat was nice and warm. Lovely to eat here and warm up with soup etc specially when it's wet and cold outside. The guy cleaning was so friendly and helpful. I appreciate his warm welcome even the guys by the door showing me where to order.

Located in a peaceful corner of St. Nicholas Place, Marugame Udon provides a welcome escape from the busy shopping streets nextdoor.
On a quiet Sunday afternoon, my companion and I decided to try one of their "self-serve" bowls.

The ordering process was efficient, with food collected in individual sections to keep things moving.
We opted for creamy chicken paitan and Chicken Teriyaki flavors.

While the chicken could have used brighter seasoning, the paitan broth was hearty and comforting.
At £30 for 2 regular dishes + drinks + 1 pumping in Tempura Prices were OK (Probably better value trying to sharing one large dish).

Facilities were in need of freshening by afternoon's end.
But the calm atmosphere and warm wooden decor offered is really nice.

Overall, Marugame satisfies cravings for wholesome Japanese noodles.
With some attention to details, this casual spot could thrive for years to come.

Marugame has topped up the game of udom noodles with their array of wonderfully and tastefully prepared meals. I  bet you that you have not tasted anything like this before, so delicious and amazingly the service was quick and excellent. The ambience is cool and welcoming, and the staff is very courteous

I was really impressed by the fast service and the pleasant sitting area. The self service condiment area was well stocked with Japanese mayo, spring onions, curry powder, chillies, and soya sauce. The curry udon had a fresh flavour as did the pumpkin katsu which was even better when dipped in the sticky brown sauce.

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.

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!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Kula Marylebone on Instagram

Kula Cafe London

This cafe is a hidden gem in the busiest part of London tucked away in a side street on Oxford street. It’s a small, clean and pretty cafe that has a vary large selection on their menu from breakfast, brunch, lunch and dessert.
I had a halal full English breakfast and a classic French toast, which did not disappoint. The French toast was delicious I had to go back a week after because I was craving it so much.

The service is very fast and attentive and the waitress is very friendly and efficient. I would also like to thank the rest of the staff who were very kind and funny who made my day. I would definitely recommend coming here especially for their French toast !

I visited this cafe for late brunch and ordered their ‘Fraises à la crème’ with a latte. The French toast was perfectly crispy on the edges and had an amazing raspberry compote layered in the middle. Overall tasted delicious with the fresh berries, macerated strawberries and clotted cream, the manuka honey takes it over the top! The latte was great too, I think they use a really nice coffee bean. Welcoming and attentive servers who clearly take pride in their work and create a warm environment. I will definitely be coming back to try some of their savoury food as well and recommend this place if you’re in the area.

The Americano was good, but the baklava was average and not fresh. The service was fast, the staff were friendly, the price was good, and the place was beautiful. I recommend it.

Great place for a sweet treat or a good breakfast. Kind of small inside but there are tables outside as well. Service was amazing. Fast and attentive. Wasn't too crowded the day we were there but I heard it is a popular place and there could be a wait for a table. It's in a great area just off Oxford Street.

The staff here were friendly and the food was amazing. Unfortunately, the owner or the store manager on site was quite very aggressive to their workers which was quite concerning and alarming for me as I understood with their mother tongue what they said which kinda got me concerned about the staff here. The service and the food was great, I just hope the manager saw that too and doesn’t take any aggression out of the staff :)

We are a completely halal dessert/brunch shop!

Inventive approach to Indian cuisine with a cosmopolitan twist

Colonel Saab High Holborn

Very impressed with the food. The popadoms were fresh and crispy, the chutneys that came with it were absolutely delicious. Then we tried the mall road dahi sev puri which were full of flavour. The kandhari panner tikka was also decent. For mains we had the butter chicken and the daal makhni. This butter chicken was very high quality compared to other indian places I've visited. The breads were perfect, the garlic naan had the right amount of seasoning and the malabar parantha was crispy on the outside and soft underneath. For dessert I recommend the dark chocolate silk cake, presented very well and hit the spot! The service was excellent. Loved the traditional decor, the chandeliers, countless paintings and statues gave off an authentic Indian vibe

Absolutely amazing tasting menu. It likely changes throughout the year but attached a picture of the menu and we got to try nearly everything on it. Can't recommend it enough for a tour of Indian cuisine. The alcohol pairings are also fantastic and a decent deal!

We visited Colonel Saab for hi-tea to celebrate our anniversary, and the experience was truly memorable. I had emailed them in advance mentioning the occasion, and they went above and beyond by arranging a beautifully presented pastry with a “Happy Anniversary” topper. The staff were also kind and courteous enough to offer to click our pictures, which made the celebration feel even more special and personal.

The service was outclass — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout. The food was delicious, elegantly presented, and made the hi-tea experience feel indulgent and special.

Colonel Saab truly excels at hospitality and attention to detail. Highly recommended for celebrations and special occasions — we’ll definitely be returning.

I had the pleasure of dining at Colonel Saab and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, all expertly prepared and bursting with flavour.
But what truly made our evening memorable was the exceptional service, particularly from our waiter, Anshul. He was attentive, friendly, kind and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure every detail of our meal was perfect. It's rare to come across a waiter who is genuinely passionate about providing a top-notch dining experience. Simply the best!! Thanks to Anshul, our visit was one to remember, and we'll definitely be returning!

Had lunch at Colonel Saab in High Holborn today and honestly it wasn’t planned at all. I was in the area, starving, and the place looked kinda fancy from the outside but I just walked in anyway because hunger does not care about vibes. The inside is actually pretty cool — loads of decorations everywhere, almost like someone collected half their life’s memories and hung them on the walls. Took me a minute to figure out where to sit because I was just staring around like a tourist.

I ordered something simple because I didn’t feel like pretending I know every Indian dish on the menu. Whatever I ended up with came out smelling ridiculous in the best way. The spices hit instantly, but like… in a good warm way, not that “I’m about to cry” way. Everything tasted proper fresh, and the chicken was actually soft instead of the dry stuff you sometimes get at busy places. Even the rice was on point, not mushy or clumpy.

Portion was decent too — not tiny “posh” portions, but not so much that you feel like rolling out the door. Staff were chill, friendly without being overly polite, which I like. Overall, it was one of those lunches where you leave thinking, “yeah… that was definitely worth it.” I’d go back for sure.

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

Fait Maison Mayfair

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Prashant Timalsina for the excellent hospitality and outstanding service.

We ordered the following for breakfast:
• Foul
• Shakshouka
• Cheese and honey pastry
• Karak

Without exaggeration, this is one of the best breakfast restaurants we have tried. Every single dish was incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The overall experience was truly enjoyable, and we will definitely be coming back.

Lots of seating inside and some outside.  We went for dinner on a Saturday evening,  it wasn't that busy,  weather was pleasant for  December, we sat outside.

The beef stroganoff and the lamb shank biriyani was very delicious 😋😋😋, highly recommend  to try those.  Pasta with chicken was okay, tasted a bit oily.  Portion size was good.   Loved the dips that came with the dishes, right level of heat in the mint and tomato dip.

Only letdown is,  no mint chocklate with the bill 😞

The food was amazing. We ordered the Turkish breakfast and halloumi cheese and both dishes arrived in a timely manner. My Moroccan mint tea tasted exactly like the ones they serve in Moroccan - sugar and mint in a nice silver pot! The restaurant is also beautifully decorated with a lot of flowery decors, it reminded me of the cafes in Paris.

PLEASE READ - Losing two stars because the server did not mention to us that service charge was already included so, we double tipped him. Not going to be back because this was very dishonest of the server.

The que is long but goes away quickly. I had the eskandrani Kibda was extrodinary if you like kibda and cheese. I also had Yousef something a a breakfast that is sweet, its paratha with cheese and honey was great. The service is great.
