Meet Bros Paddington

I'm a little confused on how this restaurant has such a high rating. We were recommended this restaurant by a friend, and were so eager to try it we booked it immediately. I'll start with the starters, we ordered prawns, beef spring rolls and nachos. The prawns were cooked beautifully, the fried bread that was put on top was unfortunately so full of oil it was bordering on disgusting. Beef spring rolls lacked flavour, even with the dipping sauce. Nachos were our favourite, good combination of meat to tortilla ratio and the taste was nice. The drinks - when I pay £11 for a mocktail, I expect to get more than 3 sips. I understand the extortionate price for an alcoholic drink, not for some syrup and lemonade you put into a tiny glass. Extremely disappointing that I then had to order cola on top of the £22 I paid for 2 drinks. The mains - the steak was basic, not worth the £45, especially when I can go to Cristina's in Barking and get a full sear on my steak. I really enjoyed the broccolini, but again... £8 for broccoli is a bit steep. We also got marrow, which for some reason was mixed with their house gravy when we didn't ask for that? All in all, we left disappointed and £200 poorer from an experience that we won't want to see again. I like to be able to see my food when I'm eating, and not having to pay an arm and a leg for lemonade with a bit of syrup. The tables were also dangerously close together, so much so that I made friends lol Maybe the Instagram kids and tiktok snappers will enjoy this place, but if you want a good meal and quality food - then look elsewhere.

Numan was our waiter and made our experience exceptional with his excellent service and smile. The food itself was amazing, we really enjoyed the Carbonora Chicken Pasta and Black Angus Ribeye steak the most. The dessert Banana Fritters was so delicious

Amazing food and service. We got served by Tahleel, great guy. Made us feel welcome and was really helpful and polite. The wait is quite long but granted it was a Saturday and there’s a seating area for you to wait until your table is ready. Would recommend you book a table in advance otherwise you’ll most likely get sent away, it’s that busy and we weren’t surprised as to why as the food is great. Nonetheless, service was great, Food was cooked perfectly, great flavours, atmosphere was beautiful. We recommend getting the Sando’s and spring rolls for starters. Thank you to Tahleel and the Meet Bro’s team for making me and my partners evening delightful.
