New York diner classics & American street food

New Yorker Dark Kitchen

The decor was excellent, but the food wasn't as good as I was expecting. I was hyped after hearing the opinion of one of my friends and I was left fairly disappointed.

The buns really let the burgers down. If they had used better quality bread, the food would have been 4*. On the plus side, the chips were nice and crunchy.

The restrooms were also out of service, which was another negative point against NYD.

Overall I can't fault the place but it wasn't a place that I would go out of my way to comeback to. The food was fresh and tasted alright. The place was very quiet and the overall appearance of the place was done to a good standard. Just a shame the overall presentation of the seating wasn't looked after in the sence chairs were all over the place and it didn't help that it was only me and my brother in there so just made the place look messy. The staff were friendly and the food came in good time. The dessert I tried was the chewy waffle which was far better than the regular waffles you get these days. In all honesty it's a place you try once atleast and that's probably it.

The New Yorker offers a 'get comfy' kind of environment, with a relaxed atmosphere, and screens to showcase what’s on offer while you wait.

What impressed us the most was their staff - the most friendliest and helpful staff you'd hope for. They were always up to accommodating our needs while helping with food choices.

The New Yorker is not your ordinary food joint, making it an American experience worth taking.

When here with my wife and 2 year old. Nice food. We love the hot dogs, The burger is ok, No complaint there. The reason we don't give 5 start because our table is dirty. Its all sticky. No one bother to wipe the table. We have to do it ourself with a baby wipe.

If the sound of Burgers and Chicken Waffles tickles your fancy, head on to New Yorker Diner

Situated on Portland Street, a few steps away from Piccadilly Gardens, New Yorker Diner provides some good old American diner food and is all halal! It has an underground hipster, retro cafe vibe especially considering you’ve gotta go downstairs to get to the diner. They have some really good lunchtime saver offers, so it’s even more of a reason to pop by.

On our outing, we filled our tummies with;
Bklyn Boy [£7.99] - (or said as Brooklyn Boy :P ) We’re loving combo dishes at the moment because it’s so difficult with the good food out there, so we got ourselves a beef and chicken mash up. The sweet, chilli (Chipotle) mayo gives it that nice spicy kick you know you’re craving and with both the chicken & beef patty cooked the right amount, this is the meal you’re after

Badman Burger [£8.49] - Drool alert with double buttermilk chicken fillets and sriracha sauce, because why have one when you can have two. The gherkins add a twang to this dish and we enjoyed this

Kickin’ Wingers x5 (Bbq Jerk) [£2.99] - The wings were fried (no batter) and were in such a yummy sauce, quite tangy and sweet. Not a usual flavour we go for and definitely glad we tried it

All the burgers can be made into meals for an extra £1.99 (pick a side and drink). Our sides were New Yorker Fries and Creamy Mash. The Fries were good but the mash seemed like a standard boxed mash so if in doubt, go for the fries

If only we had space left to eat more because we were so intrigued by the Peanut Buttercup Fries...watch this space!
