We popped in recently for a coffee and cake, enroute to the Royal London Hospital.

We were warmly greeted. Ordered at the counter and took a seat. Comfy seats but the tables were very close to each other. Once ready, we collected our coffee and pastry from the counter. There was no table service, as such.

The coffee was hot but very mild in taste ( not much coffee for a cappuccino) and it was served in a non insulated glass. Like a traditional milkshake glass. Very odd and hard to hold until it cooled a little. We weren't sure why they dont just serve hot drinks in a mug or cup & saucer?

We had the lemon cake. It looked delicious, as did the large selection of sweet and savoury offerings on view. Cakes, pastries, salads etc..However, the cake had very little lemon flavour.  I couldn't eat it and believe me, I never leave cake! Really disappointed.

Not the cafes fault but we class it as part of our 'experience'.
We had a 'local' couple sitting next to us who were eating like they were starving and he was constantly coughing, without covering his mouth. They left the cafe at a similar time to us and we caught them throwing litter on the pavement, right beside an empty bin ! I picked them up on this and she then put the rubbish in the bin. Disgusting behaviour. By the state of the street outside, that looks like typical behaviour for people in this area.

There are so many good cafes along this road, ones which we prefer. Unfortunately, we wont return here again but thank you, anyway.

What a cracking wee place. The decor inside is not what you expect from the outside. Loved the colours, the lights, the books... Decent menu with reasonable prices. Half chicken was tasty, as we're the chips. Burger was good, if you don't like a touch of pink in your burger then this place isn't for you. Staff friendly.
Only negative only 1 toilet for a fair few seats.

We tried the diavola pizza. It was freshly made and tasted amazing. The staff were efficient and really friendly. They also had plenty of savoury and sweet options. Would definitely go back for breakfast and brunch. All items on the menu are halal.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really great spot!
Fresh, ready-cut pizza slices that taste amazing — perfect for takeaway. I had a dirty chai latte from the café menu and it was excellent. The selection of baked goods is impressive, and everything looks (and tastes) top quality.
Great quality all around 💯
Also, everything is ‎حلال — which is a big plus!

Sephora was very helpful 👍🏼

Everything on our menu is Halal. No pork or alcohol is served.

Wok n Roll

I went to Wok n Roll for my 25th birthday with my friends, long story short the food was great but the service was ridiculous and put a dampener on my night.

When we were seated they left x3 menus at the end of the table despite us being a party of 8. This pretty much set the tone for the rest of the evening. We had to ask to order drinks, ask to order food, ask for them to clear the table. It was so bad my friends started clearing the table for them as they left all our plates and then tried to bring out my cake.

We gave them a pack of candles and a ‘happy birthday’ sign for the cake which we asked them to put on the cake. They put one candle on and put it in front of the sign so it wasn’t visible. Honestly, the lack of thought and effort was palpable.

The only positives were that the food was really nice. I had a sweet icy lychee mojito with the prawn tempura and pad see ew which was hot, fresh and tasty. A good portion size for the price.

I’d say go here if you’re looking for a casual night out. Do not go here for special occasions or you’ll be disappointed.

Been here a few times, always order the same items and they’re always a success. It can get busy so booking in advance really helps, it’s a small restaurant so if going with a large group then definitely book in advance. The staff are always very good and take your feedback on the dishes, they have good customer service and have variety of dishes on the menu. The dragon roll is a must if you come here, love it!

My wife and I walked in this evening at around 930pm and there was only 2 groups of people, about 20% of their capacity. First impression was around the decor. Tastefully tranquil and equally chic. We ordered the dim sum (4 pieces), beef nasi goreng and tom yum soup and we felt the food arrived very quickly. Starting with the dim sum, so so tasty. Lots of flavour there on its own. The accompanying sauce/jus had a lovely star anise, tamarind, soy combo of flavours to it. It added some depth to the dim sum. Next the tom yum. Everything you'd expect from a tom yum, the tangy-ness, the umami and the favours of the mushrooms and prawns with an added kick rounding off the flavour profile. That was enjoyable! And what we felt was the main event, the beef nasi goreng. The most tastiest nasi goreng I've had by a country mile. Squeeze a bit of lime on it and it goes so well. Highly recommended, will return.

Food was delicious and very reasonably priced! Appreciated not being rushed and being able to stay for a long time. Would come back again.

We really liked the food. Its taste authentic since i have been to thailand! Our server Sadia, is so friendly and attentive to our needs. Best customer service!

The Sushi Bar Brick Lane

I stopped by The Sushi Bar on Brick Lane for a casual Saturday night dinner and tried a few dishes:
•	Chicken Yakisoba 🍜 – Nicely prepared and cooked well, but it lacked a bit of flavour.
•	Chicken Gyoza 🥟 – Delicious, though I personally prefer them steamed or boiled rather than fried. It would be great if they offered a choice in preparation style.
•	Prawn Katsu Roll 🍤 – Pretty decent and satisfying.

Overall, it’s a good spot and worth visiting if you’re after a quick bite at a fair price. Just don’t expect deeply authentic Japanese food prepared by East Asian chefs — it’s more of a casual fusion take.

The restaurant itself is simple, clean, and tidy. When I visited, it was a quiet evening with only a couple of other tables occupied, so there wasn’t much of an atmosphere — though that might just have been the night.

A nice little stop for sushi lovers who want something quick and affordable on Brick Lane.

We looked for Chinese/asian food near our hotel that is halal. The food was delicious and also the staff and the owner are very friendly and you feel very welcomed there.
Also it was very beautiful to watch how respectful they're behaving and talking towards each other. When we come to London again, we will definitely go there again. Greetings from Germany! |

A Hidden Halal Gem Near Brick Lane – Fresh, Flavourful & Family-Friendly

We had a delightful experience at this sushi bar near Brick Lane. Every single item we ordered was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The crispy chicken bao buns were phenomenal, and the beef noodles were absolutely fantastic.

Service was quick — everything arrived within minutes, straight from the kitchen, piping hot and full of flavour. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with our toddler. All of the staff were super friendly and They kindly offered him multiple strawberries and mochi on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch.

This place is a true hidden halal gem, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

I was mainly interested in having Takoyaki. I loved each item. They were fresh and tasty. I would definitely visit again to try other dishes when I am around again.

Firstly, very clean here
Open kitchen and bright lighting !!
(Some sushi bars … with dark lighting or hiding… I have bad experiences…)

Fresh fish
Sashimi plates are the best!!

Service and the gentleman who probably runs the business is attentive.

When I visit England, I will definitely come here for my sushi.

The Sushi Bar

Yum Bun - Spitalfields Market

My third visit to this stand in over a week as food is quite tasty.
However, I got charged £29 for two buns and a coffee I never had I discovered on my card today. Neither of their terminals were working so the guy took my order and I tapped and paid. However there were two cartons when they shouted my number and I said at the time I ordered the double bun meal deal. '"oh sorry, we made a mistake" the girl said and said I could take it. I gave the second meal to a work colleague. But then spotted today not only did they charge me for both meals (OK, I did have two but only wanted one) but to cheekily add a £4 coffee to it too is beyond cheeky. I won't be going back. Check your receipts! £29 for lunch is unacceptable or is your poor handling of orders.

If you can wait, the buns are amazing! Tofu was beautiful! The staff were  very laid back considering it was lunchtime rush so my friends had finished theirs by time mine was done. They got my order wrong (chips instead of coleslaw) but ate them anyway. The passionfruit tea was delicious. I'd go back if I wasn't in a rush.

I can especially recommend the buns with pork….on a Saturday I waited for some minutes but it was worth…I recommend the “Yum Bun”

First time eating here and the food was DELICIOUS!
The portion sizes were a little unusual, as the side portions were actually bigger than the buns themselves! Would have liked the buns to have been a little bit bigger, part of our order was also forgotten, so we had to wait a little longer, however the food was great and the Vegan Tofu bun, I 100% recommend!!

Menu consists of prawn, chicken or tofu buns. Side orders compliment ie chips. Decent size portion. Variety of sauces. Absolutely delicious. Plenty of tables both standing and seating available if not peak time, though tables need cleaning. All made fresh in the spot as ordered. Hygiene was lacking in both seating areas and the open kitchen possibly due to the volume of customers.

Yum Bun

KFC Whitechapel - High Street

I am extremely disappointed with my recent visit to KFC experience was unacceptable from start to finish.
The restaurant was filthy. The seating area and floor were covered in spilled food, stains, and litter that staff made no effort to clean. It was unhygienic and off-putting to even sit down.
The chicken was served cold and tasted undercooked. It had a strong smell of palm oil, which was unpleasant and made it inedible.The fries were soggy, greasy, and clearly not fresh.
Overall, the food quality was far below the standard one would expect from KFC.
I did not feel comfortable eating the meal and left most of it uneaten. For a global brand like KFC, this level of poor hygiene, food safety concerns, and lack of quality control is shocking.

KFC is perfect for anyone craving crispy fried chicken.
The chicken is juicy inside and has a flavorful crunchy coating.
The secret seasoning makes it taste unique and addictive.
Sides like fries, coleslaw and mashed potatoes complement the meal.
Delivery and dine-in are both convenient.
Portions are generous and filling.
Staff are usually polite and efficient.
A go-to place for comfort food lovers.

visited the Whitechapel KFC shortly after their posted opening time of 9:30 AM. Despite arriving at 9:33, the store was still closed. A staff member told me it would take 5 minutes, but when i returned at 9:40, another staff member said it would be another 10 minutes. When the store finally opened, instead of offering an apology for the delay, the staff showed attitude toward customers, which made the experience even more disappointing.

The quality has been getting bad anyway but today was the limit, i got the new honey burger and the chicken was raw inside it, literally hard and raw with batter on top, they are selling unsafe stuff now, extremely pathetic, KFC has lost its quality now.
I am a doctor myself  and I think this food can cause diseases , they should be reported to food regulatory authorities. I don’t know how to do it yet but i will find out and do it. Criminal negligence.

Recently, I’ve been visiting KFC, and the experience has been consistently disappointing. Every time I ordered wings, chips, and a wrap, the quality was extremely poor. The wings were always soaked in oil and seemed undercooked, as if they hadn’t been fried properly. The chips were soggy instead of crisp.
The wrap was the worst part. The lady who prepared it didn’t make it properly at all—there wasn’t enough chicken, and half of the wrap was just empty tortilla. She didn’t even toast the wrap, which made it even more unappetizing.
Overall, the service and food quality were unacceptable. Very disappointing and definitely not what I expect from KFC.

HFA has certified KFC's products in these stores, and the store environments, as halal. KFC has also ensured that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards employed in the UK, and has consulted leading animal welfare groups about this. KFC insists that all poultry is stunned before slaughter. HFA allows the use of a technique called 'stun-to-stun' - a pain free process that makes the animal insensible to pain and suffering. A verse is also recited from the Quran at the point of slaughter by an appropriate person and the poultry will not come into contact with non-halal meat at any point in the supply chain. KFC only buys high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, and this will not change.

@bentobablondon has been one of our go to spots, with the fluffiest bao buns and tastiest katsu curry. However, this time round the chicken katsu bibimbab was quite dry with little katsu sauce, which was disappointing as it is usually delicious. The bao buns were perfect as usual, especially the sweet chilli chicken ! The customer service was amazing, with staff making us feel very welcome. We’re sure this was just a one off and we look forward to visiting again ! 

Overall, if you have a craving for Korean, Bento Bab is definitely a place worth visiting !

@cravinghalal's review of Bento Bab Aldgate on Instagram

Bento Bab (Authentic Korea food) - Commercial street

Really enjoyed this, was like a mini holiday.

I had the Beef Bentobab which was surprising in that the flavours were quite delicate. The Chicken Dumplings were very tasty - just a little tricky with the stainless steel chopsticks, but I managed!

Loved the atmosphere so will definitely go back to try their other recipes.

Staff very friendly.

Only warning- tables are very close together

Good food, $$.we had kimchi set, steamed rice,kimchi pancake,  2 KFC small & medium,3 Galib Tang, Gugeolopan, A good amount for 6 people. Good quality on the meats. Service was very efficient.  A good place in that area for K-pop food. As always, post wherever your palate takes you.

I recently dined in at Bentobab, and it was honestly a great experience from start to finish. The place has a clean, cozy atmosphere simple but nicely done, and it feels comfortable whether you’re there alone or with friends. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being pushy, which made the whole visit feel relaxed.

The food was the real highlight. Everything came out fresh, nicely presented, and full of flavor. You can tell they use good ingredients and actually care about what they’re serving. The dishes had that perfect balance tasty but not heavy, well-seasoned but not overdone. My order arrived quickly, and even the side dishes felt thoughtfully prepared, not like an afterthought.

What I really liked is that the portions were fair, and you could enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. The place was clean, including the tables and wash area, which says a lot about how well they manage the restaurant.

Overall, Bentobab is a spot I’d definitely visit again. Whether you’re coming for a quick bite or a proper meal, it’s worth it. Good food, great service, and a chill environment that’s hard to find all in one place. Highly recommend trying it out if you haven’t yet.

The food was absolutely delicious and the KFC was so crispy and tasty

kimchi was better than at many korean restaurants when I asked they said it’s homemade!

I was also recommended to try the stew so I had the spicy beef stew yukgaejang and it was amazing !

I loved that the stew comes with rice included :) and the staff were very friendly as well 100 out of 100! ♥️

The food was absolutely incredible! Every dish was full of flavour and well presented. The staff were very attentive and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely and added to an overall great dining experience.

The only downside was the toilets, which were located down some dark basement corridors and felt a little unclean with an unpleasant smell. It’s a shame, as everything else was fantastic.

Our halal options are clearly labelled. Pork is served but prepared and cooked separately.

Bento Bab

Satay Street Café

If you're looking for spice and great food this is the place! Bar height seating inside and a few cafe style tables outside. The interior is a bit lacking, better to take away or eat out front. Stir-fry with chili and basil is SO good, you can control the spice level. Chicken Satay is good however a bit too sweet for my taste. They do not have Thai Iced Tea. The staff is very nice. Highly recommended.

Such a cute place to enjoy authentic Thai food. The owner and their chef are Thai. Their Signature Bao Bun Chicken Satay & Beef Massaman, Pad Thai with prawns are my favourite.  Bao bun is quite similar to steamed pork in Vietnam cuisine with meat and satay sauce inside. crispy, tender chicken, and a creamy satay sauce. They have 2 locations: 1 food stall in Petticoat Lane and the other is this cafe restaurant. Highly recommend!!

Reasonable price. The Best tofu Satay in town. The peanut sauce was so AMAZING & JUICY serving with rice & pickle salad on side. The chicken Satay wrap was also super delicious!
We really enjoy our lunch break :))) Highly recommended!!!

One of the best lunch spots for a hearty and delicious satay chicken and rice! Always go for the large even though the standard portion is pretty hefty. The pickles are amazing and the rice is always perfectly cooked. I get it at least once a week and the staff are always friendly! Highly recommended!

The must try Thai restaurant in London!!!!
They have two market stalls in Shoreditch and Petticoat Lane market! (Always have long queue there, you can find it!)
I love all the dishes here!
Try it!!!!

All chicken on our menu is Halal. We do not serve pork or alcohol.

Italian Pizza bar, fire-baked Roman style, thin & crispy pizzas, super fast all day, eat-in or take-away

Pizza Union Spitalfields

We went to dinner here on saturday because it was close to our hotel. The pizza was very good! We really enjoyed the restaurant. And also liked the fact that your get a vibrating pad and pick up the pizza at the pickup spot yourself. Also the price was great! We didn‘t expect such a good pizza at such a low price in central London

The crust was super crispy and the sauce was out of this world good. Fast service made it even better, no waiting around. Definitely going back for more of that deliciousness. If you need any modifications, they're more than happy to help. Totally recommend this spot for a quick meal

The best place. Amazing pizzas, super quick service, great staff. Ita was particularly wonderful. Couldn’t recommend more.

Pizza Union offers tasty, affordable pizzas with great flavor and a variety of options to suit different tastes. The vibe is casual and welcoming, and there’s plenty of space to sit, whether you're grabbing a quick bite solo or coming with a larger group.
Great value for money!

These guys do amazing pizza and at the price they charge they have to be the best pizza company in London!
The pizzas start at £3.95 which is a steal. This time we went for the Calabria which was still really cheap only £7.95. Tasted delicious, I will continue to come here when I visit

Our chicken is Halal across all branches but it is not prepared separately to other meats. Pork and alcohol are on the menu.

Velvety crab lasagne, truffle tagliatelle, roasted cod, and souffles

Galvin La Chapelle

We were given an amazing gift experience at Galvin La Chapelle for a three-course set menu with a glass of sparkling wine, and it was truly wonderful. We went for my birthday, and it made the day feel so special.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and genuinely kind from the moment we arrived. Every member of the team was exceptional. Dom and Matt were so attentive, the maître d’ was wonderfully warm, and the lady who served us dessert was absolutely lovely.

The whole meal was delightful, and we felt so well looked after throughout.
We’ll definitely be coming back.

Wonderful dinner experience with a 3-course meal. Even the only kids menu- Chicken breast with potatoes and mushrooms - was amazingly tender and delicious (comment from my little one).
The side dish - potato (foam and crushed) with winter truffle, was a brilliant combination, even better than the main. I mean, who could ever thought of making . potato so interesting?
Loved the dessert as well.
Highly recommend.

A phenomenal treat. The food, atmosphere and service are always impeccable here. It’s worth signing up to Galvin Club if you enjoy fine dining as they often have set menus at very affordable prices.

I came here for dinner by myself.

Overall, this place has a Bailie, unique and magical ambience. The interior of an old chapel is one of the more unique and charming Settings for a restaurant that I have ever seen.

I will say that my expectations were very high, as a place has Michelin  star. Overall, the Service was very good, but not extraordinary. The food was excellent, but again – I was not as impressed with the food as I would have expected – I feel the food that I got at sketch. Two nights ago was much more, outstanding, and culinary. Perfect and unique.

Overall, I would be unlikely to return at the Price point, but it is a quality restaurant, and I do feel that it is deserving of it status.

Mind the steps as you enter - the venue is beautiful and food well presented, but expected a bit more for 1 Michelin star.  Went for lunch in a large group.  Recommend the baba tiramisu dessert (share with 2 people)

Halal chicken can be preordered. Pork and alcohol present.

Delicious, freshly prepared Indian-style wraps

Naan Wrap

Had the paneer naan taco at Naan Wrap and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly spiced, fresh, and really well put together. The flavours were spot on and genuinely memorable.
Chef Josh and Nana were there as well, and their passion and warmth made the experience even better. Amazing food and great vibes—will definitely be coming back!

We’re elderly, and for health reasons we’re very intentional about what we eat. Generally, we no longer eat fast food.

Last Friday, we had a half hour to fill before medical appointments near Spitalfields. We were hungry. Wandering around the market (and not being attracted to any of the eating places), we noticed Naan Wrap, where a friendly staff member was encouraging passersby to try samples of their bread. The bread is freshly baked in an oven in plain sight. We decided to “risk” ordering from the very welcoming and engaging staff member (owner?) at the counter. I say “risk” because, as I mentioned above, we usually avoid fast food. We ordered paneer and chicken wraps with chips. Our food was very tasty, and nicely presented.

Because we had medical appointments, we decided to take home half of our wraps (thinking we’d throw them away if we thought them unappetising when we got home). Three hours later, after zapping our half-wraps in the microwave oven, we thoroughly enjoyed them.

Overall, our experience of Naan Wrap was a very good one, and we’ll definitely go there again when we’re next in the Spitalfields area.

In my opinion, this friendly, customer-focused business stands out in the very competitive Spitalfields food market, and I highly recommend them.

I am a tourist from Sweden and I have to say this was probably the best wrap I’ve ever eaten! Highly recommend it if you’re visiting Old Spitalfields Market

It was really amazing, I got the butter chicken tacos definitely it’s one of the best tacos I loved the idea the concept, I would try it again and again. Also the mango Lace was very good.

I was roaming around Old Spitalfield Market today and found Naan Wrap while been approached by a wonderful man. The sales guy was very professional, kind and knowledgeable about the menu.

We had 2 taco's and Mango Lassi. It was absolutely mouthwatering, special thanks to chef.

Naan Wrap has a very unique menu of mixtures, from tacos to wrap, rice box to Fries!

It's bit expensive, but the taste is definitely worthy. I'll highly recommend this place.

All meat is Halal. No alcohol or pork served.

Introducing the new Nashville Range from Chico’s. This Nashville burger will defo give competition to the smash burger. I’ve tried Nashville only two other places. So I do have a little gist of an enjoyable Nashville burger. Also made my own Nashville Dirty Fries, ask them or show them the video, if they can make it for you. 
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Nashville Chicken Burger (£9)
🔳 Nashville Wings (£5-7)
🔳 Nashville Loaded Fries (Off The Menu)
🔳 Smash Burger (£8.50)
🔳 Chicken Loaded Fries (£5)
.
The Nashville chicken burger comes with an amazing thigh piece. It was super juicy and moist. Cooked to perfection. The Nashville sauce was perfection. It was the perfect heat. Not overly spicy but a nice warmth on the tongue. It was just perfect. Defo would rate this as a top top top chicken burger. Honestly must try 
.
The Nashville wings again perfect. The out batter remained crispy even after the Nashville oil and powder spices. 
.
Nashville loaded fries which is off the menu and I told them to make this for me. And it was banging. It will give competition to my previous favourite loaded fries that they sell. Show them the video and ask them for that loaded fries lol 
.
All in all must try this Nashville range. I’m sure I don’t need to talk about the smash burger and other dishes as they already legendary. Hurry and try the Nashville range
.

@halalhunt's review of Chicos Whitechapel on Instagram

The flavours of Tennessee, U.S.A, has come to Brick Lane, with @chicos_london launching their Nashville range.

If you love the taste of spicy poultry with a savoury burn, then you have to give @chicos_london's new menu a try. 

Succulent, moist chicken with a blend of well balanced spicy seasoning, really ignites your taste buds.

San Sebastian Cheesecake is all the rage at the moment. This is a gorgeous dessert and @chicos_london definitely is serving a good quality pudding. Even if you're not a fan of burgers, you definitely should try out the San Sebastian.

We tried the following dishes.

Smashin Prawns £8.00
Loaded Nachos £9.50
Nashville Hot Wings £6.00
The Nashville Meal £11.50
Legendary Chico's Smash Burgers £11.00
San Sebastian Cheesecake £6.00
Brownie & Ice Cream £5.50 

Get your cowboy boots on and indulge in some wonderful comfort food.

Chicos Aldgate East

The staff was friendly and the restaurant is clean.  We just stopped in for a quick dessert. The Birthday Cake Cookie & Ice Cream was hot out of the oven.  It completely satiated my sweet tooth and was amazeballs!  The Lotus Biscott Chirros were also a warm delectable delight.

We were told to try their
Brisket Sando
As it launched in all their stores

So we made our way to order

It was a long wait
Probably because of how much
Everyone loves Chico’s
& The Sandos had just launched
At 50% off

But we didn’t mind
As the staff were so apologetic,
Especially the girls who all
Appreciated our patience.

The Sandos were definitely worth the wait
We will certainly be back to try
More of the new additions to their menu
& All their drinks which looked fantastic

Best wishes to everyone at

Customer service was so top notch! Firstly being greeted at the door then being shown to the seats, and guess what?! There is a very nice and clean sink to wash your hands!! 😁 This is such an essential for me as I really stress about hygiene and smell. I am genuinely amazed by the atmosphere, no music, simple background sounds, just the right noise level for those conversations that matter with your friends. Ordered grilled wings, onion rings and chicken tikka burger. Everything was amazing 😍, the only turn down was the salt in the burger was a bit on the higher side, more than my liking, there was a bit too much of a curry taste. Otherwise great place to bring your friends to enjoy!!!

Amazing food and amazing service. the platter was really nice. Amu was really polite and kind .She really knows how to deal customers.Highly recommended to everyone 💯❤️

The food was delicious and atmosphere was great! What really tied our whole experience together was Charitha who gave us exceptional customer service 🌟 She was so kind and helpful :) Thank you for making our day 🫶

Vietnamese street-food specialist known for its 'Pho' noodle dishes

Pho Spitalfields

Great experience!

The food was lovely. The pho was amazing. Tasted rich and worked really well with the extra sauce. I also got the Vietnamese curry and for a specialized Pho restaurant, it was very good. It's competing for my favorite dish against the Pho.

The interior decoration is really neat and feels homey and all the staff is very friendly and attentive. I was served by a waiter called William. He gave such good recommendations and was very attentive.

Would definitely recommend and I would go again.

The whole menu is Gluten Free! First occasion where I could share with a friend who also had allergies. Delicious wings! Dishes full of hearty flavour! Generous portions! We got so excited we ordered too much! Excellent customer service! Highly recommended!

Amazing and delicious food. Visited this place during my stay in London and it was a life saver from the typical bland London/European food. The staff was friendly. We ordered Spicy Beef Brisket Pho, Pork Meatballs and Papaya Salad, each one of these dishes was absolutely yummy.

So good, family friendly, my kids ate the pho which is nuts. Service was amazing as well. If you are on the fence, try the curry, it's great.

William had been an amazing server! The food was also very delicious. I ordered the baby squid and also the Pho house but got the hot & spicy broth instead as recommended by him and it was just as hot and spicy as he was🔥🔥🔥 Give this guy a raise xx

Our chicken is Halal and cooked separately from other meat. Our chicken broth however is not always Halal, so if you order a chicken soup please ask for veggie stock.

PizzaExpress

Doughballs were very crisp on outside but still super soft inside which was great. Definitely recommend the raspberry cosmo cocktails doing the 2 for £12 offer currently available. As always used my gold membership rewards to get a great deal. Located around the corner from Liverpool Street station is very convenient.

Business meal for 150 GBP for 5 people. Good and tasty food, excellent service and able to talk without too much noise.
They have several dishes and even daily menu for 29 GBP with starter, main course and dessert.
Good, cheap and quick option.

Delicious pizza — thin crust, great ingredients, honestly even tastier than in Italy! The atmosphere is lovely, and the service is fast and friendly. The only thing — the name ‘Pizza Express’ doesn’t do it justice, it sounds too simple for such high-quality food!

Very attentive service and the food arrived surprisingly quickly despite it being very busy. Everything tasted great.

Service was quick and my waiter, Valdemar, was really friendly!! He showed me how to use the app to add a free side and helped with any other questions I had. Food was also yummy :)

PizzaExpress has used halal-slaughtered chicken for several years, but we have never been able to offer a finished dish that was Halal-certified, due to the presence of pork and other non-halal meats in our restaurants and as our kitchens do not operate halal procedures.

Whilst our previous suppliers provided halal slaughtered chicken, it was never our policy for that to be our only option. Since the launch of our Autumn Menu on the 21st September our chicken now comes from accredited suppliers that use both non-halal and halal slaughter methods, because we have recently increased our sourcing options on chicken to ensure continuity of supply during the current challenges within all supply chains.

Where halal slaughter is used, the animals are stunned before slaughter. All our meat suppliers are approved by the Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards, a globally renowned safety standard and, all comply with EU or local animal welfare regulations.

If asked our teams in restaurants are trained to provide customers with accurate menu and ingredient information. In addition, this information is available on the customer support section of our website.

Please be aware that none of our other meats are halal and we do not have any halal kitchens or restaurants.

This Indian eatery missed the mark on several points. A friendly staff member took the initial order, then a manager stepped in – both provided good service. The issue began when I was offered a bag and said yes, without being told it would cost 50p for a flimsy paper bag that isn’t reusable.

The food was disappointing. The butter chicken was tough and dry, the potatoes undercooked. Only the rice and green beans were worth eating.

The layout is pleasant, with plenty of seating, but that alone doesn’t make up for the poor food quality.

The food here is full of flavor and served fresh! The presentation was neat, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Loved the balance of spices — just the right kick without being overwhelming. Definitely a place I’d come back to for a cozy and tasty meal.

I cam from Belfast, I had breakfast here and came back for lunch too! price to quality and portion value is good! Masala chae was ON SPOT!!! Generous portions!

I was initially attracted by the appealing menu and the interesting format of the dishes. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially for a first-time visitor, which made a good first impression. Unfortunately, the food itself was mediocre at best — the overcooked vegetables made the meal look like a school dinner from the 1970s.

What surprised me even more was the cost. For two meals, two soft drinks, and one naan, the bill came to £37. That’s extremely poor value for a simple lunch. Despite the pleasant service, I won’t be returning.

Absolutely appaulled! Bought a portion of chips for my little one which cost £4.50 for a portion that is just about a handful. Furthermore, the cashier took my card to tap on the card reader herself telling me she cannot extend the card reader out to me. Disappointed at the food portion and service. Definitely will not be back after the service.

All meat on our menu is Halal. No pork or alcohol served.

Indi-Go Rasoi

Fen Noodles

I had a portion fo hand pulled noodles with aubergine sauce. they were absolutely fantastic, a bit of spice and loads of flavours. and the noodles were really good. The consistence was the best part!

In the centre of Spitalfields, this stall has 2 screens for ordering so service is fast. I ordered the aubergine bang bang noodles (vegan) as a set menu which came wuth crispy wonton wrappers. You could see the noodles being made fresh and my order was ready in less than 5 minutes. For £10 I got a good amount of food which tasted delicious. Some of the aubergine was a little bit firm but still tasty.

The set menu $10 spicy dry noodles and beef skewers not bad value. Lots of chicken and the noodles were chewy like Udon. Lots of chilli oil thou. The beef skewers were good. Tiny bit chewy but not fatty.

Don’t remember exactly what I got , however the flavours in this is immaculate! Super tasty and scrumptious. Very filling too! Definitely recommend adding chilli oil cuz it gives it the perfect amount of spice to it.

Fresh high quality ingredients and the broth is also very flavourful! I had the chicken it was the best choice in this cold weather and very comforting. The depth of flavour of the hand rolled noodles was incredible balanced with the chicken which was delicately flavoured to bring the whole dish together.

The chicken is halal but just the spicy fry mix chicken NOT the chicken soup.

PocketSquare Skyline Bar & Terrace

Me and my husband had a lovely time for our date night. This was our first time going to Pocketsquare Skyline. As soon as we arrived, it was such a nice chilled vibe. Live DJ for entertainment. The food was great and the customer service was amazing especially from Rylan. He made our experience worth going back.

Would highly recommend

We had drinks and my martini was perfect. Music was house techno and a little loud however cool. The views are gorgeous. Staff was nice. Had a high top and just soaked up the atmosphere and London lights at night. Service charge of 12.5 is added which for drinks might be a little high. It was a wonderful time and only an elevator from my room on the 8th floor

Very friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. The bar food is good. The view from there is amazing.
The only thing I would spot is that we reserved a table outside because they guaranteed there would be blankets available. When we asked for a blanket they said they did not have any available.
Luckily, it was not Crowded and we could move to a table inside.

Anyway, I would definitely recommend this bar and for sure I would be back. Lovely experience.

How convient is that the next venue is just an elevator away ? This was brilliant, didn't need to worry about ordering an Uber, or do citymapping for the direction to the next place.
The first impression is the view and the view is brilliant. Having work in the area for a few year, I would never imagine the view this bar have.

It's a small bar / lounge place so capacitywise it's limited and to be safe book a reservation.
Outdoor seating is minimal but again book in advance.

Being so close to Brick Lane I guess the art inspired design is a homage to the area.  It's trendy, arty and the drinks are good but are bit....

Love that they have a dj playing some house lounge-type music.

Service and the staff were good but the bar was busy so felt sorry for the waiter running around taking orders and serving drinks.

The decor is elegant and matches the nice view! The cocktails are surprising but expansive, as the food. Service is great, the staff is nice!

The food at the bar isn’t halal. However, you can able to pre order ahead of their booking and we can arrange it. A week's notice is sufficient.

@londonfoodee's review of Honest Burgers Spitalfields on Instagram

Honest Burgers Spitalfields

The place, part of a well-known chain, suffers from its rather small size and, coupled with company that wasn’t exactly chatty, made the experience fall short of expectations. My sandwich was overly seasoned and salty. On the other hand, the burger — ordered medium — wasn’t as juicy or tasty as usual. Am I wrong, or have the portions got smaller?

The place is cozy. It suffers a bit from being so small, so table options can get limited depending on how busy it is. The food however was great. The seasoning and cook on the burger was awesome.

Excellent. The staff was very helpful with my needs. Being gluten-free and vegan with multiple allergies makes it difficult to find a burger, but I finally managed to enjoy a good burger at this honest burger branch. They even went out of their way to show me the burger bun label, which most restaurants fail to do.

I’m not usually a huge burger lover.. but this was actually REALLY good! I had the chicken pesto burger and it was delicious. My husband also loved his beef burger and our friend loved the vegetarian option. Definitely a new favorite burger place in London - we even ended up going to one of the locations twice on our trip!

The only negative is that it gets quite loud in there, so in the end we were practically yelling to each other at the table.

But the food was great and we had the sweetest server :)

Really enjoyed my visit to Honest Burgers – Spitalfields (12 Widegate St, London E1 7HP). The Buffalo chicken burger was tasty, and the free onion rings from the app were a nice touch. Jack was great—friendly and attentive. Glad to know their chicken is halal. Will come again.

All of the chicken in our restaurants is halal. If you would like to see our supplier’s halal certificate please ask your server when you arrive. Halal products are stored separately with strict processes in place to stop cross-contamination. Halal chicken items are handled with separate utensils and gloves. Fried halal chicken burgers and wings do not share fryers with any non-halal items. Grilled halal chicken breast burgers are cooked on a reserved area of the grill separated by a grill divider. We do not offer halal beef at any of our restaurants.

12 of our restaurants (full list below) offer a halal Buffalo fried chicken burger. We will be rolling this out to more restaurants in the near future so watch this space. You can find our Buffalo fried chicken burger at Bank, Cardiff, Finsbury Park, Liverpool St, Manchester, Portobello, Reading, South Kensington, Spitalfields, St Katherine Docks, Tooting and Watford.

Efes Restaurant (Whitechapel)

The atmosphere at Efes really stands out with warm lighting, tidy interiors, and a welcoming energy that instantly puts you at ease. The team here clearly takes pride in what they do. Every visit feels consistent with friendly greetings, quick seating, and attentive service throughout.

You can tell there is real care in how everything is prepared and presented, whether it is the lamb, chicken, or shish options that seem to be favorites among regulars. There is a certain balance and attention to detail in what arrives at the table that says a lot about the people behind it. Nothing ever feels rushed, and timing always seems right.

Another thing worth mentioning is the overall atmosphere. It is upbeat but still relaxed enough to enjoy a proper conversation. Even when it is busy, and it usually is, the staff keeps things moving smoothly without losing that personal touch. They manage to make a crowded evening feel calm and organized, which says a lot about their professionalism.

Efes also has a strong sense of hospitality, from small gestures to how the staff checks in just enough to make sure everything is right. Whether you are stopping by for a quick meet up or a longer evening with friends, it is a place that leaves a good impression every single time.

I’ve been to Efes so many times on different occasions! It’s perfect for any group size - you can easily find tables for larger groups (though it’s best to book in advance).

The food is delicious, well-prepared, and full of flavour, with generous portions - some main dishes are even great for sharing. They also serve a portion of bread and salad as a complimentary starter.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and they always do their best to accommodate you.

I can't praise Efes highly enough. The restaurant is absolutely immaculate, pristine. The staff are very friendly and happy to see and serve you. The food is the best Turkish that I've had in London. If you're in the area you've got to try it!

Amazing first visit!
This was my first time at Efes Restaurant (Whitechapel) and it was such an amazing experience. The customer service was the best I’ve experienced they were so welcoming and even brought a few complimentary dishes (bread, sauces, salad, and tea at the end) which was such a nice touch. We had a lovely small chat with the waitresses, which made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, with generous portions. I would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be coming back!

I made a mistake.
I was in the capital of cheap eats but for some reason I fancied a Turkish.
Did I regret much. £16 for a hot mezze starter see pic.
I appreciate it’s very close to central London. But do not charge me high prices and slack on quality. Also had the yogurt Adana which was on the smaller size compared to other Turkish restaurants.
Won’t be back but FairPlay to them

Award-winning Indian restaurant since 1974

Sheba Restaurant - Awarded Best Curry House In UK

Don’t order from this place!! Disappointed doesn’t even cover it. Ordered delivery this evening (6/12) and it was honestly the worst curry I’ve had In my life. Lamb buhna (pictured) was just oil and water and a grey colour that doesn’t give me any confidence in its safety. The other curry The Lamb ladyfinger, the sauce in that had also completely split. The whole meal was completely inedible.

I want to wipe my memories from eating this food, not exactly sure how there could be disappointing. Indian food in London, had the popular dishes. Had the menthi lamb which was mediocre at best but outshone the rest, with the tandoori chicken which was super dry, the mint sauce that didn't resemble any kind of chutney I've ever seen on Earth, and the samosas which were like trader Joe's air fried pieces, and the super sweet mango lassi. and the naan was old and dry too, super disappointing but service was decent nevertheless

I had an excellent experience at Sheba Restaurant on Brick Lane. They offer a wide selection of Pakistani, Indian, and Bengali dishes, and every dish was bursting with authentic flavors. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious.

The service was just as impressive – the staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a great meal.

If you’re looking for a restaurant on Brick Lane that serves amazing South Asian food with top-notch service, I highly recommend Sheba Restaurant. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

Great little restaurant in Bricklane that came recommended…
The food was nice, prawn purri and butterfly prawn starters with poppadoms were great!
The lamb shank curry a friend had seems like it was cooked to perfection, chicken tikka ok a hot palate looked good but for me lacked flavour and was dry, the spicy chicken curry was nicely done too, naan breads (garlic) were more sweet than anything else.

Drinks we were told we had two free rounds of drinks and were cans, these came straight out of a bottle which wasn’t great but can’t complain.

Alright so our bill apparently had 25% knocked off the tab but the calculations didn’t add up for me - £129 reduced to £96 for me was a bit steep for what we had considering the 25% off which didn’t seem that way in the end.
There was also an automatic service charge of 10%.

Although the restaurant is great and I somewhat recommend this, I would also try other places to give them the opportunity too.

3rd time here and was not disappointed. The king prawns were cleaned, cooked tastily and FRESH. We loved the lamb briyani, ample portions, even brought our friends here. Pappadam was amazing. Traditional bangla fish curry was great too. Would highly recommend and in my opinion presents better overall value than Dishoom.

Have you checked out the Japanese Udon Kitchen @marugameuk yet?!

There are currently 4 London locations: Canary Warf, Liverpool St, The 02 & St. Christopher’s place… soon to be 7 in total by Summer 2022 😍 

We went for the salmon teriyaki bowl, the chicken katsu curry & a selection of the tempura 🥟 Everything was delicious and served in very generous portions 🤤 There’s even a self serve condiment station to meet all of your pickled ginger & red chilli needs 🌶 

Please note that all of the chicken is حلال and 30% of the menu is vegan friendly 🌱 

Highly recommend for a catch up w/ friends over some hearty food that doesn’t break the bank 🤩

Marugame Udon - Japanese Noodles & Tempura (Liverpool Street)

The food is fresh, delicious and filling. You get a big portion even with the regular sized meal and might have some to still takeaway. What makes this place stand out is the quality of food and the attentiveness of the restaurant to anticipated customer needs at their add on station with sauces and other herbs as well as takeaway boxes. Bathrooms were also clean upon my visit to this branch.

Would definitely recommend!

I know these restaurant chain very well I first time I tried there this branch it was plenty sitting area stuff very fast. Food was nice and it was really nice and clean. Definitely recommended

Reasonably priced noodle and rice chain. Fast canteen-style service. Tempura prawns, soft-shell crab and fried chicken dumplings are tasty extras. There's a table of garnishes you can add after you pay.

First time visiting—and I’ll definitely be coming back!

I really enjoyed my experience at Marugame Udon on Middlesex Street. The layout of the restaurant is great, and I liked the way you can pick exactly what you want as you move along. The menu has loads of appealing options. The food was fresh, tasty, and served quickly. Portion sizes were generous, and everything was hot and well-prepared.

Staff were friendly and polite, which added to the overall positive vibe. A great first impression—I’ll definitely return.

The food is here is terrible. Cold noodles and cold tempura. I didnt even really feel like the staff cared tbh. Please avoid. There are other noodle places near liverpool street that are better.

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.

The Sauce - Shoreditch

Stopped by The Sauce for a late-night bite—it's been on my list for a while.

The staff member was friendly and seated us quickly. However, she mentioned they were closing at midnight, even though Google lists their closing time as 2am. That gave us just 30 minutes to order and eat.

We tried all three wing flavours. They were fresh, decently sized, and had good flavour, but nothing stood out as award winning.

Fortunately, the owner popped in and let us stay as long as we wanted. Turns out, the staff tell customers they’re closing early so they can head home sooner.

Service brilliant, food was decent, my beef burger had too much fat in it. Wings were nice but gave me an upset stomach. Now and then you can have this kind of food. Would I return again? Maybe...

Came here on a Saturday night after hearing such great things about it. We got the Korean wings which were good,nice and crispy. We got the loaded prawn box which was great but the sauce (honey chilli) was not good. The fried chicken thigh burger was great, the bang bang sauce was really the one. The fries, nice and crispy. There was one person who worked there was super accommodating and provided great service. It’s 4 stars only because we had to wait quite a while for our order and our order was kind of forgotten about/was wrong but they did rectify with hence why it’s not lower. I like the flexibility when ordering. Our total meal was also only about £25 which is reasonable.

This place left me feeling underwhelmed. I've heard so many good reviews about this place but I wasn't blown away by the food. I say this because the chicken burger ('Impeccable thighs') didn't have much chicken & hashbrown as it promised it would. It was mainly salad but the chicken was well cooked. The beef burger ('the big bucks') was tasty & it was slightly juicy. The best thing here were the wings which were delicious😍 We loved the 'bang bang' & 'Korean Gochujang' wings as they were crispy, sweet & savoury. The chips were a nice accompaniment to the burgers but the oreo milkshake was not milkshaking. It was chocolate sauce mixed with ice cream and had a few oreo bits in it.
-
We got the churros to make up for the extra price we had to pay for the food. As soon as we walked in, it was quite busy so we scanned the QR code to order online as it would be quicker. After we placed our order & paid for our food, the waitress told us that the 'claws for your jaws' burger was not available. (We were looking forward to this burger too as many people have hyped it up.) Anyway, we saw that we paid £14 for one of the burgers online when the menu in the store, was £10. The waitress said she didn't know and said it's probably an old menu and as compensation for the extra money we had to pay for the overall food, she offered us dessert. The churros were undercooked and not good at all & the chocolate sauce tasted like a weird liquid.
-
Overall, the place is very small & it's a chilled vibe but I hope they improve their menu esp the milkshake & dessert.

Saw on Instagram and decided to swing by. Overall really enjoyed it, seems good value for money at £9 for a huge burger. Staff very friendly, good atmosphere. I had to wait a while though and because the buns were ready waiting for the chicken, this meant the bottom of the bun was very soggy by the time I ate it. Would still recommend though and come back to try the wings

The Sauce

Delicious Pho

Stopped at Delicious Pho for dinner, had a prawn pad thai and lime soda, both were great.  Food in general is nice and authentic.

From the street, the restaurant itself doesn't look busy and looked to have little ambience but once inside people are sat further in and is spacious.

Stumbled across this gem on a random evening. We didn’t intend to dine in however the aroma caught up  to us we simply couldn’t resist lol Tried 4 various bowl all served  deliciously fresh. Will highly recommend anyone to try short ribs set x

Located on the way to Spitalfields Market, this Vietnamese pho restaurant is run by Vietnamese people. I stumbled upon this place by chance, and it boasts a unique taste and generous portions. The brisket pho tasted reminiscent of Korea’s Seolleongtang. The noodles are chewy, the portions are large, and there’s a lot of brisket! The curry is also very delicious, though there could have been a bit more rice compared to the curry. Overall, everything is great! If you’re craving a hot, comforting broth or longing for Seolleongtang, I highly recommend this place!

Excellent food, very delicious and authentic. We had a Kids Pad Thai too and it was a bit pricey including a drink £12 but I have to say it was plenty. Chicken wings with fish sauce super tasty too as well as the Papaya salad. Overall a great experience

A True Bubble Tea Haven!
I absolutely love this place! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The tapioca pearls are chewy and delightful, and they offer such a variety of toppings and flavors that there’s something for everyone.

The ambiance of the shop is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff are friendly and helpful, always ready to recommend their favorites.

If you’re a bubble tea lover or even just curious to try, this shop is a must-visit! Every sip is a little moment of happiness.

At the moment, most of our chicken dishes are halal, aside from the chicken wings.
This past couple of weeks, everything's been complicated and we've been having issues with the supplier. Once all is settled, we'll post an update here.

Taco Taco - Shoreditch

Amazing food and service! Tried their collab with Doh’hut and it was delicious. Their prawn tacos were super flavourful and juicy as well. Can’t wait to come back for more.

I dont often leave reviews but I feel this place definitely deserves one! A really cool place inside (perfect for insta pics by the wall 😉) also very clean!! There were quite a few appealing options on the menu and I didn’t know what to go for so I asked for a recommendation, I was recommended the chicken tacos based of what I liked and they did not disappoint!! Full of flavour and I devoured every bite 😋 I also ordered a side of guacamole and tortilla chips and the guac was hands down the best I’ve ever had! Portion sizes are generous and filling! The perfect lunch! I will definitely come back and will most definitely be a regular! The chef was also very lovely and friendly 😊 only negative I’d say is that there are not more taco tacos around!!!

Lovely new place. I'm not a fan of Mexican food myself, and saying that, I'd come here again for more. It's an easy speaking atmosphere with delicious food. The chicken taco was fab, and the staff were all lovely and friendly. :)

Awesome tacos, loaded with tasty fillings. The beef birria was in particular a highlight. Very quick and friendly service. You can't do much better for the prices, especially in this area.

Indulging in the flavors of each uniquely crafted taco was a delightful experience, with the freshness of the prawns and the melt-in-your-mouth goodness of the tacos leaving me craving more. The well-seasoned rice boxes were a perfect complement to the generously portioned meat and salmon dishes. This hidden gem has quickly become my go-to spot for authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Thai street food classics with a contemporary twist

I Thai Old Spitalfields Market

I ordered the Veg Gyozas and the Pad Thai wih prawns (without peanuts because I'm intolerant). Both were very good, in fact I ended up ordering another Pad Thai! The prices are a bit high (£12.45 for the Pad Thai, not a small portion but not a big one either), but considering the city area they're in, they could be a lot higher; the food is good and the staff is friendly so it's worth the money!

I had an amazing experience at Ithaca this morning. I ordered the pad Thai chicken and grapow chicken I must say the food was full of flavor delicious and the portions were generous. Sayana and Dayz were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The place was clean, well lit and had a cosy vibe with background music also prices were fair for the quality and quantity of food. Highly recommended make sure everyone visits.

This place shouldn't even exist or be open. Both the food and service were sad. I ordered a pad Thai which was drenched in sugary sauce and had three strips of chicken. It initially came without the peanuts (which was part of the dish) and I had to ask for it. No veggies either. Just sharing so you avoid the disappointment.

We were warmly greeted by Sayana who helped with serving us our delicious meal, cooked by chef Tei. Would love to come here again.

This was the best pad Thai I’ve ever eaten! I ordered the veggie version and it was cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious and it came with broccoli and carrots. Lovely, attentive staff and overall great experience there!

Food: N and I always order the Full English Breakfast (with some tweaks) cos who doesn’t love a Full English? We always get the Sausages, Turkey Bacon, Eggs, Sourdough and Beans, and sometimes a cheeky side of Crushed Avocado or Halloumi. Everything is delicious. The Sausages taste so fatty that we can FEEL ourselves putting on the pounds 😂 but booooyy 👅 are they scrumptious! The only thing we hate are tomatoes, but we always order them because they look good in the pictures. 😬😂
Service: You have to order at the till and the food doesn’t take long.
