Tortilla and burrito joint that charges extra for guacamole!

Tortilla Kings Cross

10/10 food. Quick and tasty.
Quesadila came out lovely. Have tried various branches of Tortilla, this was second best (Canary Wharf being the first!)

Lovely location
Chicken is halal
Lots of seating, spacious. Outdoor seating also.
Disabled toilet available

I visited the Tortilla at Kings Cross. My burrito bowl was bursting with flavour, fresh ingredients, and great spices. My friend’s salad was equally delicious and crisp. Fast service. Highly recommended!

Visited for dinner just before getting  my train, and it hit the spot! Generous portion and the flavours were good. Particularly enjoyed the guacamole.

Cheap and cheerful by London standards. Food is nice and you know what you're getting as it's a chain. Ideally located near to King's Criss and St. Pancras if you want something more than 'station food' but don't want to pay through the nose. Staff have always been friendly too.

Food was amazing but the staff are even better! Flavourful and delicious! All very friendly and attentive. If food runs out I’ll still come because of the great staff! 😂 visited on 19/9/25 around 17:30 🫶🏼 will come back again!

Family-style Sri Lankan cooking in vibrant, relaxed surroundings

Hoppers Kings Cross

This place is located at the back of Kings Cross Station with other restaurants. The area is very swanky with restaurants, bars and the Google office. The restaurant itself is very modern and large. It is well decorated with a great vibe. The place was crowded on a Tuesday evening which gives you some idea of how popular it is. The wait staff are very friendly and welcoming. They are also attentive and ensure patrons are cared for. The menu is limited but extremely well tailored for tge clientele. The selection of dishes caters for most tastes and the drinks menu compliments the menu perfectly. The dishes are well presented and taste wonderful. The peppercorn chicken, chucken kari and chicken biryani are outstanding. In fact, all the dishes we had were of a very high standard. This is a slightly pricy place but we'll worth it. One small downside is that the tables are small so not easy to have your dishes on the table as well as whatever you have ordered. I will definitely be returning.

Great food and service. Make sure to book as it’s very popular. We sat outside and it wasn’t too cold. There’s heaters above each table and blankets are provided. We tried the hoppers experience for £35. Food was all very well balanced, flavourful and spicy. Portions sizes were good. Would definitely come back again to try more.

I had a nice meal at hoppers near King’s Cross. The food was tasty and the restaurant was nicely decorated. I felt for the price we paid we could have gotten bigger portions. The staff were friendly but were not as available as I would have expected, which led me to be constantly trying to attract their attention to order more food or get more drinks.
Overall a good experience that could be improved.

All good -obviosly if you are for Srilanka food- yet far too noisy. The place is actually cool and vibe, but perhaps too much: I could barely listen to the people next to me!

Still, the place is cool for the same reason: it was challenging to make a reservation and it was packey! We actually were kindly invited to leave after 2 hours as next turn was coming.

Food eas very good. We went for the Hoppers Experience which is a mix of selected house specialities for a fixed price (36£) which totallay ok.

I was not too kee. to come here yet I left very happy about it.

We had a mostly fantastic meal here – the food was so delicious we couldn't stop eating! Booking was essential as they were very busy. The big letdown was the handling of a tree nut allergy. My lamb biryani was served with cashews on top, even after notifying the waiter. The staff were apologetic and offered to comp the dish and bring rice, but I was given bread instead and the comped item still appeared on the final bill. Despite this incident, the quality of the food was exceptional.

So easy to find, just near King’s Cross Station. We couldn’t book a table in the morning, only walk-ins.

Excellent service. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating - since we wanted to sit inside, the staff gave us a table outside and brought us the menu while we waited. We waited about 20 minutes.

The place is modern, stylish, and nicely decorated.

We had the Ricotta Hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter, and the scrambled eggs with sourdough bread - both were delicious! The pancakes were super fluffy, and I loved how the eggs were cooked.

Even though it was quite busy, our waiter was really attentive and kept topping up our water glasses promptly.

This is a great spot for brunch. I have been here before and once more hasn't let me down. The ricotta pancakes are a must, they were fluffy, light and with the right amount of sweetness. We had as well, a perfectly done scrambled eggs, moist and just delicious.
The service is quite attentive as well, the water was topped up, at all the time without requesting it.
Some people might find this place slightly pricey, but having in consideration the quality of the food is reasonable.
This is a busy restaurant, it is recommended to reserve a table.
Highly recommended.

We frequent the Japanese branch of Bill's a lot and it's famous for its Ricotta Pancakes. We haven't had it since before covid and was very happy to find out there was a London branch of Bill's with almost same menu and decor.
We visited on a Saturday early afternoon with wife and two kids really looking forward to this.

Ordered the following
- Chicken Schnitzel,  this was very disappointing. For £26.5 I expect at least the chicken to be nice, juicy and tender but it was dry and barely any seasoning (subjective) it really needed the large lemon squeezed over it to give it some flavour.
- Kids burger, for £15 was pretty bad as well. The patty was overcooked and very dry.  It was only when my kid stopped eating to say it hurt his throat that I was made aware but he'd already eaten most of it. So couldn't couldn't tell the staff.
- Kids pasta. This was OK.
- Scrambled egg and Bread. This was OK.
- Ricotta Pancake.  This was the biggest disappointment.  It was hard, not soft and fluffy.
In Japan they always tell us it takes 20 minutes and when we would like it, so it comes out nice and fresh ready to be demolished. Here it just came out with with the rest of the dishes.

This review is comparing to good memories of the Bill's that we had in Japan, so it could be a little unfair with our high expectations.
It might of been a off day for the London Kings Cross branch.
If I had never been to Japanese branch then the worse thing was the dry burger and the bad value chicken schnitzel.

Service was good as expected.

Famous for good reason. This establishment is across the road from St Pancras, bordering Granary Square - highly convenient and accessible for commuters.

The ricotta pancakes with maple butter are iconic, although I found myself wishing for some salty flavour; I’d suggest adding bacon if the meal wasn’t already on the pricey end. Nonetheless, it delivered.

Note: Due to its popularity, patrons at tables may be asked to move on shortly after finishing their meal to make room for the next customers. You can linger longer on the bar stools if you don’t mind facing the baristas and wait staff.

Sweetcorn fritters are a must try, perfectly done and so delicious. The banana pancake was fluffy and absolutely delish. The bacon wasn’t overly crispy and had less fat, which I personally loved. Both the scrambled eggs and avocado toast were full of flavor and very enjoyable. Service was attentive and good, which made the experience even better. It does get crowded and a bit noisy, so expect some queue from time to time. Overall, a great experience and I’ll definitely be back!

All of our chicken is Halal. This includes our chicken schnitzel and the roast chicken salad.

I’ve never been a fan of paneer, but N convinced me that if I ever tried a good Chilli Paneer, it would blow my mind. And where would we find authentic Chilli Paneer? A Street Food Restaurant of course.

Food: the first thing we asked for was obviously the Chilli Paneer and it was AMAZING, definitely the best i’ve ever tasted! Followed by Paani Poori (my favourite Indian starter 🤤) and Saag Gosht and Murg Makhni for mains. Both the starters were pleasant and the portion sizes were good. The curries were also decent but we found that they lacked flavour. The sauce of the Murg Makhni was tasty, but it was almost as if the chicken had just been thrown into the sauce and therefore hadn’t fused into the curry 🙄🤔
Service:  The service was neither here nor there. The waiters didn’t really seem to know much about the menu when we asked questions.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Chai Thali Camden on Instagram

Dinner with friends @ChaiThaliCamdenlondon 
Indian Street food and small plates from this recently opened restaurant in Camden. I'll write a full review soon which will list all the items I had, but I wasn't impressed with the food here, most items tasted average or too saltly. Was expecting better from grilled items like the lamb chops. I guess ever since I discovered Hankies Cafe not much can compare to the food there.

Chai Thali - Indian Restaurant

Tucked away in one of the little alleys. When we were searching the location, the area was so peaceful we thought we might have taken a wrong turn, but it turned out to be a great find.

There’s plenty of space inside, and it felt good to enjoy Indian food in such a cozy, quiet neighborhood.

The food was delicious and came in generous portions. There were three of us, but we still had enough left over to take away. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity.

All in all, a great spot for a relaxed meal with authentic flavors.

Good food, quick service.

Visited for a quick evening snack.

Worth a try- Mini Nihari Bites.

Cocktails were not that good and can be improved- we ordered 3 cocktails and 2 out of them were extra sweet (too much sugar).

Chai Thali popped up as a recommended place to eat. It didn't disappoint - one of the best Indian meals I have had in a long time.
Lamb samosas - juicy, flavour packed, crunchy. The accompanying mint sauce gave the right balance.
Chilli paneer - not as spicy as I imagined, but very tasty.
Chai - I downed several cups of chai, both sweetened and unsweetened. Delicious.
Laal maas. My go to dish, spicy lamb curry. This was spot on; slow burning heat, deep flavours, generous portion of lamb, awesome sauce.
Peshwari naan. I do love this, the seeetness goes well with the laal maas. It had cardamom and cloves, which gave it some punch as well.
Service at the restaurant was excellent, friendly, and the environment is great. I highly recommend a visit here.

If you’re anywhere near Camden Market, you have to stop by Chaithali! The food was absolutely fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and authentic Indian street food at its best. Every bite felt like a trip to the streets of Mumbai or Delhi. The vibe of the place was warm and inviting, and the staff made the experience even better.

Special shoutout to Anni, who took care of us — she was incredibly courteous, attentive, and made sure we had a perfect dining experience from start to finish. It’s clear that they really care about their customers. Can’t recommend it enough — definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Highly recommend this restaurant! The service is always great and the food is delicious. It’s reasonably priced especially for the quality. The servers have consistently been kind, attentive, and always make sure everything is done at a high standard. Chai Thali is definitely the restaurant I visit most often when I’m in London.

Roti King- Euston

@rotikinguk

Went to @rotikinguk again after I think almost 2/3 years maybe more I don’t even know anymore, but either way the queue was even worse than the first time, I waited about 1hr 15mins in total 🥲 but in a way it shows how good the food is if ppl are willing to wait for it, found a place nearby as a backup & someone in the queue told me not to bother as it’ll disappoint so I decided to wait 🥲

Anyway, the food.

Beef Rendang: 9/10

Cost £8 & for me it was the right portion, on a bad day I’d have needed 2 rounds of it but this time round the rendang was soooo much better than the first time I had it, also the duck dish has been removed 😪💔 but it had like a mild citrusy hint to it as well which was beautiful.

Sweet roti: 7.5/10

Second dish was this sweet roti with caramelised brown sugar & bananas, this was really good but I felt like it needed some sort of single cream or double cream even to make it even better but was still decent either way.

Overall:

Food: 8.8/10

@eafoodbae's review of Roti King King's Cross on Instagram

Roti King

Absolutely love roti king. Some of the best malay fare in London.

The pratha was nice and flaky. The chicken kari with the roti canai was a solid curry, spicy and flavorful.

The nasi goreng was the perfect combination of sweet savory shrimpy with plenty of wokhei.

The teh tarik was sweet but yummy.

Will definitely go back next time I am on London.

I highly recommend trying Roti King if you've never tried Malaysian food! The food was incredible and the service was very friendly. There are a couple of downsides though. There are not many seating options, so you are basically touching back to back with your table neighbors which makes the atmosphere very claustraphobic. You cannot book in advance, so be prepared to wait in line outside. I only waited about 15-20 minutes for a table of 4 before being seated which felt very reasonable. I would also not recommend if you can't handle some spice! Aside from those things, Roti King had an absolutely delicious rendang. It was incredibly flavorful and filling. The spinach and cheese murtabak (not pictured) is a must try and great for sharing, and the planta and kaya desserts are the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. I could dream about the kaya with how wonderful the filling was. The coconut ice cream was delicious and perfectly balanced. Overall, I would absolutely dine at Roti King again.

The food here is really good 😋 and the staff are super nice! I had the Char Kuy Tiu and Laksa – both were delicious, fresh, and packed a spicy kick 🌶️🔥! Loved that wok hei flavor – very authentic 👌. I also tried the iced lemon tea 🍋🥤, which was perfectly refreshing – not too sweet, not too sour.

The only downside is that the restaurant is quite small and gets packed 🪑🤏, so seating isn’t the most comfortable, but I guess that adds to the “authentic” vibe.

Overall, 4/5 ⭐ – definitely recommend if you enjoy Asian food 🍜 and can handle a bit of spice!

Absolute gem of a place!

Dropped in five years ago with my husband for a quick bite (no queue that time!) before catching a train and we were hooked from that first, perfectly flaky roti canai. Later moved to London and their insanely flavourful nasi goreng became a favourite post-work dinner.

Tonight there was a wait, but the service was fast and the food as good as ever. No nasi goreng… because they felt the last batch of rice was overcooked. It’s rare that a restaurant says they can’t serve a dish because it’s not up to their own standards, and I really value that honesty and commitment to quality.

(Finally… the prices are ridiculously reasonable given the quality, freshness and location moments from London Euston!)

Roti King is London’s go-to spot for authentic Malaysian comfort food 🇲🇾✨.

Nothing fancy — just comfort food. Famous for its flaky, buttery roti canai served with rich curries, it’s the kind of meal that hits all the right nostalgic notes. The menu also packs favorites like nasi lemak, beef rendang, and mee goreng — bold, hearty flavors at very reasonable prices. 🍛🔥

The vibe is no-frills and always buzzing, especially since it’s tucked just by Euston in Somers Town 🚇🍴.

Service is fast and efficient, portions are generous, and the food is consistently satisfying. A must-visit if you’re craving true Malaysian flavors in the heart of London. 🌆💙

So, not something I do often, but had brunch today. Decided to go to @dishoom . Chicken and lamb are halal, however I opted for a non meat breakfast. Pictured - KEJRIWAL
Two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast. £4.90 and AKURI
Spicy scrambled eggs — an Irani café staple — piled up richly alongside 
plump pau buns and served with grilled tomato. £6.90 along with some malsala beans. 
The top dish pictured , AKURI was the best, spicy, flavoured and textured well. The KEJRIWAL was disappointing. The venue is very well decorated and worth a visit to experience the atmosphere. However, is not very good value for money in my opinion. But as usual, I recommend going to experience the quirky environment and judge the food yourself. Make sure to visit the rest rooms.

@halalfoodguy's review of Dishoom Kings Cross on Instagram

Dishoom King's Cross

Today went  for lunch & orderefed several different foods, great selections with nice ambients. Place is abit pack. Entrance comes with huge alcohol bar counter, witu 3 levels of dining area. Waiters are attentive and the foods are served fast even though peak hours.
Recommended for good indian vegetarian dining 4✨. Friend ordered lamb Briyani big portion. (for 2 person)
We had ordered Paneer, jackfruit Briyani(good choice 1st time eating jackfruit rice) vegetable grill(not actually grilled but more of boiled type) and they replaced it with potatoes dish(good courtesy of them) Paneeer grill(very fragrant) rotimali bread + Garlic Nan (superb texture) 👌

Dishoom has been on my list of restaurants to visit for a long time and it is safe to say it absolutely lived up to my expectations.

The food was delicious and full of vibrant flavour. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very unique and pleasant. The food came out quickly however we did go on a Tuesday at lunchtime so I suspect weekends have longer wait times. That being said, I would have happily waited longer as the food was THAT good.

We ordered the chefs special which was a lamb biryani, as well as the masala prawns, black daal, aubergine chutney and raita along with a side of roti. By the middle of our meal we were very grateful for the fresh Raita which helped cool our mouths a little from the spice in the rest of the foods and my spicy margarita. We rounded everything off with the crumble, which was very tasty.

I hope to come back again soon to try more if they’re incredible dishes.

After arriving at St.Pancras we we're longing for a good breakfast. I booked in advance to avoid disappointment if the place was packed. I checked the website for specials before arrival so I knew they had some interesting christmas specials. I chose the naan with honeyglazed pigs in blankets one of the specials. It was so good with two perfect runny sunny side up eggs. Combined with my bottemless Chai and a few sips from my daughters mango lassi made it the perfect start of a very busy day. My partner had the full Bombay which you can't go wrong with when you are a big ester and our daughter had childrens size cinnamon pancakes with cream and fresh fruits. All the food was amazing and most of the staff were great. The location is also beautiful. I love how the buildings got made into a new destination!

Fyi I know the pictures of the food might look underwhelming but the flavor explosion is real. I choose flavor over aesthetically pleasing food any day.

The restaurant, ambiance, and service were all truly wonderful, and the food was very delicious. However, the only downside is that the portion sizes are quite small considering the price. I also found it surprising that they don’t offer biryani rice as a side option ، only plain white rice.
On a positive note, they also offered us a complimentary dessert for the birthday, which was a very nice gesture.
Overall, the restaurant is definitely worth trying.

I’m in London solo for a work trip. I arrived around 6 and there was a line of about 40 people. The staff were handing out chai to people waiting in line and taking their details to book them in. The people in front of me were told it would be around an hour wait. After a 24 hour flight from Sydney, I was too keen on that, but when I told them it was just me, they offered for me to come straight in to eat at the bar.

I sat down and was greeted by Stefan who was super charismatic, made me feel comfortable, and took me through the menu, making recommendations as he went. I took his suggestion of the Pau bhaji and Nihari biryani. Both dishes were incredible. The biryani was huge, and served baked with pastry on top. The flavours were intense, with plenty of spice - just what you want in ann Indian meal - and the lamb inside was tender and delicious.

Stefan checked in a couple of times through the meal, addressing me by my name which was impressive considering how many other people he was serving at the bar.  He explained the best way to eat the dishes with the various condiments.

Overall the experience was incredible and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

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

ARABICA KINGS CROSS

Great spot for dinner. Muhammara was the best I've had, as was the Kibbeh. Also really enjoyed the Lamb Kofte and Pistachio Chicken. The Kunefe for dessert was also massive and v sweet, exactly to my liking! Attentive service throughout and would certainly come back. Also seems like a good location for large group bookings as we saw a couple of larger groups while we were there and it was a good setup.

One of the best Lebanese restaurants I have tried in London. The taste of meals are authentic which is rare in restaurants in London cliam to be Lebanese. We tried their special set which included four different itmes for starter, main course and dessert. I should say that they had used high quality ingredient in all of them. saying these all, it worth mentioning that It is a bit over price though.

Big thank you to the Arabica team for making my wife and I feel looked after and welcome for our Saturday lunch. Took care and paid attention to dietary issues, explaining what could be changed and what could be adapted. We really appreciate the effort since we know how difficult it can be for busy restaurants to accommodate dietary requirements.
The food was delicious. We chose the 25th anniversary Chef’s selection, a show stopping 10 dish feast with flavoursome dips and dishes including halloumi with black honey, labneh cheese with preserved lemon, lamb kofte, and a herby pilaf.
There’s a decent selection of beers, wines and cocktails. If I wasn’t driving I’d have totally gone for a post dinner Arabica Old Fashioned.
Good value too.
Would recommend. We’ll be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We arrived a few minutes past their last order time, but I explained how much we were craving kunefe and had heard wonderful things about theirs. The front staff kindly spoke to the kitchen on our behalf and welcomed us to be seated. We truly appreciated their hospitality. And as expected, the kunefe was absolutely delicious—just as we had heard from others. A wonderful experience from start to finish!

Dashed in to have a quick dinner. Service was superb and attentive, Sophie understood the rush, ensured we had the food and paid quickly.

Best chicken I’ve had in years and the lamb was perfect. Will come back very soon and less rushed. Great place.
