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

Famous place with queues outside, people can't wait to get in for the incredible Malaysian dishes. Recommend this if anyone is looking for authentic Malaysian food. I've heard Roti King is known for offering nice Malaysian food, and they certainly didn't disappoint. The food is brilliant and absolutely worth a visit, even though very often, would have  to wait for a while before taking the stairs down and entering the restaurant. You would be amazed how delicious the dishes would taste. We come all the way from Manchester, and it is worth waiting for.

Roti King is a small diner located near Euston Station, the menu is well priced and affordable compared to many places around the area. Food tastes fresh and quite hygienic - obvious by the way we are able to see them cooking. Waiters are friendly and calm despite how busy it is! Be sure to arrive early as soon as its opened or you would have to wait in queue. Delicious Malaysian Food!

Classic hole in the wall type of restaurant with a limited menu where the food speaks for itself. You looking at Malaysian cuisine with a focus on Roti (obviously) and you only get one chance to order. This is good because it keeps the tables rotating at a good pace, which is handy because you can’t book and have to queue outside. We only waited 10 min though so not that bad.

Had been waiting to try this for a while, arrived before opening time and there was already a queue. It moves fast so don't be put off, but it is a quick in and out service, we were in and out within 40 minutes and we were there longer than most. They have tried to make the most of the space, but not much room for bags/coats! Food was good and more filling than we thought. Would recommend the noodle/rice dishes.

Great experience, it is well worth the waiting time in that long queue. Unfortunately they don't accept reservations, as the restaurant is quite small.
The food was so so delicious. The service was very efficient.
Highly recommended.

Food: Thankfully, the food wasn’t bad (well done babe! 😂) The Banana Tree Spiced Noodles that I asked for was full of flavour and so was the Malaysian Prawn Kari. We also ‘combo’d up’ our mains so we got Indo Salad, Corn Cakes and Indo Crackers with our meals. The Corn Cakes were delicious!
Service: Decent service at the restaurant.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Banana Tree Soho on Instagram

Quick Bite from @bananatreeuk who now have a fully halal menu now. Pictured is the chargrilled beef. My fav is still the beef rendang and the duck...and of course the chocolate fondant for dessert.

@halalfoodguy's review of Banana Tree Soho on Instagram

Banana Tree Soho

We went here for late lunch after shopping on oxford street.
The ambience is okay but we really liked the food.
We tried calamari, chicken dumplings and wok tossed noodles.
Calamari and the dumplings were really good and very filling.
I believe they have happy hour throughout the day if you order in pairs and the drinks were good value for money.

We were club hopping and it was almost half 10 that we were looking for a restaurant that’s still open and we spot this. They were kind enough to let us in soon before they were closing. We tried, two dishes and a starter. Start was prawn crackers which was a bummer. We expected prawns but just got some crisps with prawns flavour on it. Coming to the two main dishes; we got the beef with another rice that came with salad and crackers. Which was outstanding. Except for the rice being a bit sticky. And the green Thai curry with jasmine rice was equally wonderful, we enjoyed it. My favourite combination would be the beef with jasmine rice. The Thai curry had such a beautiful fragrance. It was really good. Their jasmine rice is a must try with the beef. And to mention, Arvin served, really kind and nice.

It's a very nice experience, friendly staff, food served on banana leaf which looked very nice. Food was very tasty 😋 and drinks were at reasonable price too. Its a little tight seating don't have much room between 2 tables. It gets busy so I recommend to book the table before going there. Walk in are welcomed. Did get much time to try the deserts but will definitely visit again.

This is a very nice place. The food is really tasty. I will recommend to book in advance as it is in high demand.
The duck plate we had was exceptional and really filling.
Shreeya, who attended us, was a star, always quick to answer our questions and take our order with a smile. Service was fast.
We will definitely return in our next visit to the city.
We also made the most of the happy hour! 😊

Really good food. Turned up and didn’t realise it was happy hour. Great value and really good sized portions. You feel well fed and food is very fresh.

Banana Tree

Uyghur classics including da pan ji, tugur, and hand-pulled noodles

Turpan Uyghur restaurant

The price is good here and no service charge which is rare now in London. We tried the chicken with potato / Lamb hoof and we liked the chicken better. The chicken is tender with good flavour, although I think the taste of star anise is a bit strong. We don’t really like the lamb hoof that much as it has a certain strong smell/taste which is a bit overwhelming…

Interesting place. Had the traditional tea, noodles, soups, lamb skewers, mung bean, the medium chicken dish etc. The waiter seemed alarmed when I smiled at him. He forgot about three items we ordered but gave us free rice pudding without asking. The other diners seemed like regulars, I certainly want to come again. Cosy, flavoured, not too spicy food, with a decent portion size for this day and age. An excellent meal.

Turpan a small Uyghur spot a few min walk from Covent Garden.

Excellent affordable food and portions very generous.

Try the leghmen noodles, so flavourful and hand pulled noodles. Ask for medium heat.

Fully halal with no cross contamination. (No pork or Alcohol)

Service is nice and accept card payment. No service fee.

Nice Uyghur restaurant with lovely atmosphere in central London.
The leghmen (hand-pulled noodle) was good. My husband ordered lamb pilaf and happy about it.
The service was fast and friendly.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice, good for chit-chatting with friends as it is not noisy.
All the food is halal.

It's been a long wait to eat here & I was not disappointed. Having lived in Urumqi for over 4 years I can confirm the food is authentic tasting Xinjiang cuisine. I had the polo, rice had great flavour with loads of carrot, a delicious side salad, & accompanied with 2 lamb kebabs, generously seasoned with cumin/chilli, & washed down with complimentary Xinjiang tea. I will definitely be back on my next visit to London 👍

All meat served here is halal. No pork or alcohol present.

Turpan

Asian-fusion steakhouse with cave-style decor

Meet Bros Steakhouse (by Me'nate x Jibby&co)

I recently visited for lunch and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. The welcoming atmosphere and the ambiance create the perfect dining experience. The food was mouth-watering and exceeded my expectations to be honest. Our server, Munna was incredibly polite and friendly, always making sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I must give a special mention to his attentiveness - he was always on top of things ensuring that we had a smooth experience. All in all, it was a pleasant experience and I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service.

Arrived there for dinner with my family as a bit of a last minute decision. We were escorted downstairs to a really unique and wonderful dining room! The food was great overall, standouts being the beef ribs, truffle pasta (amazing) and the the banana wrapped in kadayif (think a kunefe with banana), also the onion rings!
On an honest note, it's certainly on the pricier end. Things like starters and desserts just sit £2-3 over an ideal price point. Then main dishes like the biryani are priced around £20 -35. At that price I would've like to see a larger portion that would be good for sharing. I would definitely go back, they've only just opened, and after a chat with their super friendly manager, he gave me the feeling that prices and menu would be adjusted over time to make it a more accessible, regular spot for as many people as possible. At the moment for me personally, it's more of a special occasion kind of place, which is still fine!

The food was okay. They didn't have several items available at it was a Saturday night and only 6pm. The Angus burger was quite good, really juicy but the bottom bun completely fell apart as soon as it was served to us. The ribs were melt in your mouth (a little sweet and maybe needed more smokiness). The prawns were very average, but the tempura mushrooms were a highlight (esp the sauce that comes with). Banana fritter dessert was very nice. I had made a request for a celebration but what they provided was quite disappointing. Several other tables weren't too happy and one large group left before ordering as so many dishes were unavailable. Service was terribly slow and unattentive.

Went there for early dinner with a group of ladies on a weekday .Staff was very welcoming and polite. Priscilla & Brittany was amazing. Beautiful place , great food and delicious desserts especially the Fried Banana Fritters! A must try!!
Will go back again for lovely food and mocktails.

The place has a unique ambience. We loved the Mediterranean feeling of being in a well lit cave.

The food was scrumptious and fresh. Most delicious for me was the white prawn starter and the beef Udon noodles. Kids loved the steaks and lasagna

Knowing it was 100% halal just added to our comfort.

We took our time and even said sallah in their little room...

Tukdin

Recommended to me by a Malaysian colleague, I went with my boyfriend for dinner. We were very happy with the food, especially the oxtail soup, the aubergine in sweet curry and the lamb korma. We also ordered the coconut rice and the seafood fried rice -very tasty as well. We'll have to come back for dessert another time.

The food was amazing, the soft drinks are a little pricey, the venue is nice and immaculate, there service is brilliant and the team were catering to all my needs they were flexible with menu and really helpful allowing me to feed my child in a private room, the food was efficient in time being served. Had a lovely experience. Will recommend and go back again. Full halal menu and also a designated prayer room.

Excellent and authentic Malaysian food. All the dishes were prepared and cooked very well, bursting with flavour. We especially enjoyed the chicken satay, which was very flavourful and nicely charred. The roti was nice and flaky and the beef rendang was very tender. Would recommend for a great Malaysian feast!

The food here was delicious. The workers were amazing young people. I went at an extremely busy time and they courteously explained to me and personally to others too that their food might take longer because of the crowd. I saw them check in with folks intermittently. Ultimately, the food did not take an unreasonable amount of time to get out. I see why this place is popular! If you're reading this review, make up your mind already and give this a shot!

Felt like a home cooked dinner - brilliant food and warm friendly service. Highly recommend the beef rendang and spicy tomato Chicken curry.

I will definitely be returning and eat more of the satay goreng!

Banana Tree O2 Arena

Cant thank priya enough for her warm hosting and attention
We were so well looked after!!!! She is a great hostess!
Food would have been a 5 but the tamarind fish was overcooked and dry!

The food was amazing and the staff were really lovely. I do also want to give a shout out to Rachel who I Iiasied with. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns. She validated everything. Banana tree honestly care about customer service and they take feedback seriously. I went with my family and I would say if you have any concerns, contact banana tree and they will help.

Banana Tree, O2 Arena

Always wanted to try Banana Tree, thrilled to see one popping up at the O2. It is located where Cafè Rouge used to be, just outside of the O2’s main entrance.

I’m not sure what I liked the most, the two for one cocktails or the food. Actually neither of them. The service stood out the most. Robyn (girl with dyed hair) was really friendly and attentive, she even checked where our order was even though it hadn’t been that long. Shortly after the food arrived. It was delicious. We ordered a selection of items from the menu, including chicken, fish and noodles. They were all divine.

Unfortunately at the end of our main meals all the desserts had sold out, our visit was on a concert night however, so very understandable.

Overall, if you are looking for an alternative to Wagamama or are just tired of it, then try Banana Leaf.

For starters we tried the sticky thai wings which had nice flavour and was crispy which made the texture really good but the chicken itself was dry which made it less pleasant. We also had the calamari which was really good and came with a nice sauce it was crispy on the outside and the inside tasted fresh and wasn't rubbery. Steamed chicken dumplings was decent the sauce went perfectly and the chicken inside was very moist but I felt the inside lacked flavour the chicken and veg seamed plain so the vinegar sauce it came in helped and it wasn't too sour either it was nice.

For mains we tried the chicken jawa which was quite nice. The chicken was spicy but overly spicy. The salsa that came with it accompanied it really well. What I would say is the portion size isn't great and there isn't amazing flavour again the sauce is required to help it, but the chicken was tender and cooked well. The char grilled duck was really nice the duck was cooked perfectly and wasn't dry and the sauce it came in had load of flavour I would say this is better than the chicken and I don't really eat duck. Lastly the prawns Singapore laska was probably the best main of the lot the broth had amazing flavour and the contents of the broth were really good and cooked well if you like coconut you'll like this dish even more it has a slight sweetness and a good amount of heat which goes well together. And the prawns were tender and not rubbery which was great. Tip if you order some noodles and put that into the both it makes the dish better. With all the mains we had a side of egg fried rice which was standard nothing special or note worthy.

For dessert we all had the chocolate fondant with coconut ice cream. The ice cream was lovely and creamy not icy like cheap ice cream. The fondant was warm and soft but the centre wasn't gooey which was hugely dissatisfying. But the taste and textures were amazing so we enjoyed it regardless.

In terms of drinks we tried the wild strawberry mocktail which was probably the best mocktail on the menu it was sweet but not too sweet it had fizz and the passion fruit with it made it better. We also tried the lychee mocktail which I didn't think was great. If you like mint you'll definitely enjoy it. But for me it was too minty. But it starts off tasting nice but leaves a toothpaste flavour on your tongue which I didn't enjoy.

Overall I would say the place has a nice atmosphere and good outside seating with a lot of seating. But we noticed inside in the summer there was a lot of little flies and they kept coming to the table because they had two lights around the table one above and one on the wall which is super annoying. The place is kid friendly they have colouring for them and little games and word searches which is nice and a decent kids menu. Food is mediocre not amazing but not terrible. I would go again and try some of the other dishes which I will do. Price wise I would say it isn't worth it and very expensive for okay food. You can pay the same amount and get better food in my experience.

Finally, the service was really good though and the waiters were super friendly and helpful I couldn't fault them. The small thing I would say is they seem to get distracted with eachother and it becomes hard to get their attention but that was very minor.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and attentive staff.
The Aubergine starter is amazing! Liked the chicken pad thai and seafood curry also! Would definitely return.

All chicken and beef on our menu is Halal.

Fen Noodles

Every time I’m in London I have to get these noodles! They’re so so good, you can taste they’re freshly made and very authentic. Just be careful with the spice level. Although I usually handle spicy food quite well, the normal version is almost a bit too much for me. I’d definitely recommend choosing less spice if you can’t handle it well!

I asked for an extra chilli oil on my garlic aubergine thin noodles and oh gosh … it was tongue numbing hot. I find the portion to be too small for the price £9.50. I didn’t enjoy the dish as much as I expected. Would not get it again.

Got the aubergine handpulled noodles and they’re really good! Very very garlicky and the Aubergine is really soft
But: it is incredibly spicy!! I had to stop halfway through and take the rest home because it was so spicy. Hands down the spicest food I have ever had.

Four stars instead of five because I’ve had handpulled noodles before and the other ones were slightly better. Also: it’d be good to actually note how spicy the noodles are because it made it difficult for me to enjoy them. Had I known, had I chosen “less spicy”

Beef noodles with Biangbiang were excellent. I like the lamb bbq too. Perfect lunch place. Recommend it

Wow! I did not expect a noodle place in a touristy place in London to be this good. I got a mix aubergine and lamb noodle. The noodles were chewy and fresh. The spice packed a punch but you could taste other flavors. Really excellent for the price too.

Update May 2022: they no longer have lamb. It's just beef now. I tried the flank steak and it tasted low quality. The noodles are still chewy/delicious but the sauce and the meat wasn't good. Down rate to 3 stars

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

Only the best vibes for one of N’s MANY Birthday Meals!

Food: I feel really bad saying this because we actually really enjoyed ourselves at Novikov, but the food just didn’t live up to our expectations. The Singapore Noodles and Prawn Fried Rice were bland and flavourless, and the Sweet and Sour Prawns weren’t as good as they are at the Chinese down the road. The Prawn Tempura was okay, quite oily though, but the Baby Squid was probably the best thing we ate that night.
Service: The atmosphere at Novikov is incredible! We really did enjoy every second there and would definitely go back, more for the lovely service rather than the food though, haha. 😬

Cracking open the Chocolate Fondant from @novikovrestaurant 
Price £11.50. It definitely wasn't the best chocolate fondant I have tried. But nice enough.

🐟 Black Cod
🥟 Prawn Moneybags
🌮 Wagyu Tacos
🦐 Fresh Grilled Prawn
🍚 Egg Fried Rice
🥥 Fresh Coconut Water
🍍 Fresh Pineapple Juice

@novikovrestaurant is the perfect fine dining spot for a date night or any events. We visit here for almost every occasion! It has two elegant dining rooms; Asian and Italian. We opted for the finest Asian fusion culinary experience. The open kitchen was so fun to see along with all the fresh seafood and vegetables being used.

⚠️Only certain dishes are halal which are stated on the menu. Bar on site.

@cravingthathalal's review of Novikov Mayfair on Instagram

It's the @novikovrestaurant review
baby! In my Top 2 restaurants and has remained there
for years. Silly of me after a good few visits I've never
actually posted a review of it! Here we are now.
There's plenty of pricey restaurants in London to
choose from but this is the best for me. There's two
sections to the restaurant, Asian or Italian. We always
opt for Asian.
Well as you're seated they serve you some vegetables
with some sauce which I believe is called shizu sauce
this sauce is pretty remarkable, and it's so tricky to
describe the taste but it's so good we finish it all up
and request another set of it. It certainly is special and
that just highlights the start of this tasteful experience.
Mains:
Korean Lamb Cutlets: A serving of 4 and these are a
must order. The way it's cooked, the tenderness is
unrivalled. Then there's the thick glaze of a teriyaki
type flavour which takes the flavour up a notch. You
can also get these cooked how you want I.e medium
rare. I'll be honest though on this occasion they arrived
warm and weren't as amazing but still damm delicious.
Black Cod with Miso sauce. Spectacular. Never had
black cod as good as this, cooked to perfection and
with that sauce just another level.
Sushi: We ordered 3 different types and all were really
really good, as you'd expect at this quality/level. Our
favorite was the salmon and cheese one - overall the
yummiest even though we also tried a truffle infused
one.
We've tried their wok


Also their wagyu tacos are nice but not amazing imo
compared to the above mains anyway.
Dessert is also great but nothing too special.
Overall Novikov offers food on such a high level of
quality and taste, the price really is worth it and makes
a great dinner spot for special occasions - the level of
flavours is up there.

@halalfoodtherapy's review of Novikov Mayfair on Instagram

Novikov Restaurant & Bar

I was greeted and shown to our table quickly when we entered the restaurant. There was a nice vibe in there. The waiters were pleasant and knew the menu well. We ordered and didn't have to wait long to be served. The quality and presentation was fantastic. The food tasted great and we really enjoyed our meal. The only criticism would be that it was a little overpriced even if it is Mayfair. However, I would return.

It’s not that special… we went Novikov on Thursday at 8pm and the vibe was good. Our server was super friendly and the service was fast, as well as the starters and even main! We had the chicken tacos which I loved! The prawn money bags were 50/50, I just didn’t like the texture but the spice and flavour was perfect. We also got the California roll which was horrible…! He enjoyed his lamb chops, and I didn’t really enjoy the duck salad. The cocktail zombie was quite nice and strong. Overall the experience was nice, however I wouldn’t go back and I don’t think it’s worth it for me personally. It was also upsetting to see those live crabs in those small tanks outside.

Dined in the Asian side of the restaurant - The restaurant decor is nice and has an intimate feel to it. The presentation of food ingredients is also nice seeing all the colours of seafood and vegetables. The staff are helpful and always wizzing around. The food was nice and the portion sizes are very much decent👍🏼 although the egg fried rice was not nice tasting. I would be interested to try the Italian side of the restaurant to see the taste of the dishes there are like.

Dined in the Italian restaurant for a special birthday. Definitely not cheap and the tables were too close together but otherwise everything is perfect. Service was great, food delicious, portions generous. The candle in our desert and singing from the staff was a super nice touch too.

The food was very good especially the duck salad. We had a mixture of lots of different dishes which we shared before 4 of us. The king crab leg was very overpriced so wouldn’t bother with that again! The service was also very good. It’s not cheap and there is a minimum spend per person.

All halal items are clearly marked on the menu including chicken, duck and lamb. Please ask a member of staff for assistance if anything is unclear.

Novikov

Hong Kong restaurant

We had dinner here which was great. The dishes were very flavourful, in particular the lamb chops, which were a good size. The dandan noodles were also a nice portion and delicious. We also enjoyed the desserts. The one sad thing was the lack of scallops and banana crumble, but we hope to be back for dim sum at some point!

Heard about this new restaurant, which only opened in June...

Dim sum served with traditional Hong Kong dishes. Although the Cheung fun isn't served after 5pm.

More high end, good location.

Ordered the chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, ox sauce chicken feet and bean curd wrap. Washed down with jasmine tea.

Quick service, at £9.80 for a plate of rice, I expected it to be top notch but to my disappointment there were burnt black bits in the rice, tasted it too, think it might be from the wok. But as soon as I raised it, they immediately rectified it.

Loved the veg with the sweet and sour chicken, crisp and crunchy. Good sized portions too.

There's also roasted duck and roasted char siu served at the front of the restaurant.

Overall a lovely meal with pleasant staff.

Would recommend.

Really great to see a good Chinese restaurant back in Upper St. The meal was excellent.. authentic and there was a good atmosphere there. Don't expect the world from this establishment, but enjoy it for what it is. Had to take one star off of this report due to the fact that being a v cold night in London the room was really cold . I do appreciate that there is a cost of living crisis/price going on, but it would have been nice if they would have made the environment more warm and welcoming. That said do try their Won-Ton soup... delicious! £25-30 per head

Very enjoyable! I stepped in for a quick bite and ordered the prawn dumplings (which is advertised on the front window and what had originally drawn me in, having walked by and seeing it the night before) as well as the crab xio long bao, which although it had a little more ginger than I would have liked, the soup inside was delicious. I came right after opening, and it was relatively slow, but service was fantastic. My server didn't want to bother me but continued to keep an eye on my table the entire time I was there, happily making a recommendation when asked. They also have what looks like a full menu for beer and wine but I just had a coke.

First time visiting this restaurant and the layout/design is very beautiful and very traditional-like. They have 2 menus. The Prawn Dumplings were SO delicious along with the Beef Ho Fun.
The Singapore Chow Mein was a little dry and it was a little disappointing I couldn't add things in a dish
i.e chilli to make it extra spicy or add beef to the Singapore Chow Mein (as I had to buy another dish).
But overall, it was great and especially their manager Allen- very great aspect to their business. He was very welcoming. Thank you for this great first time experience 😊

We do fully halal food menu, and no pork served.

Hong Kong Restaurant

Banana Tree Westbourne Grove

Super delicious food, everything was made super fresh.
The Pad Thai was super flavourful and the prawns and vegetable rolls were super crisp.
The atmosphere is super cozy and pretty inside, with the staff super attentive to make sure your happy with your service. I was served by Rohit and his service was amazing.
Will definitely be back!

Amazing place I love it here the staff are always friendly the atmosphere is nice. The food is great good portions and I love the 2 for 1 drinks. I love the vegan options here so much verity and clearly labelled vegan on the menu.

Really tasty great quality food. The quality of food was fresh fruit juices were freshly squeezed. Elijah and Elvin provided a great service.

Top notch coconut icecream. Good value for money considering the quality of food provided. But for a family of 4 with student discount and kids eat free was about £60. Lost a start as dont take cash.

Beautiful food. Good portions, couldn't finish my main. Would come again.

Good selection of food and drinks. If you like cocktails this is the place for you! I wish we had one of these back home. Definitely recommend a visit

Banana Tree West Hampstead

Lovely food, lively atmosphere, quick service, reasonably priced for London. I say this because if you're not a Londoner you might find the cocktails pricey but they do have happy hour so there's that! Anyway, back to the point, I've been to 2 different locations, great both times! Definitely recommend.

Excellent selection of cocktails and drinks, with happy hour 2 for 1 (same drink). The Piña Colada were delicious and well made.
For food, we had starter sized Laksa the tofu and the chicken ones which were hot, rich and slightly spicy. For mains we had the Blackened Monks Noodles with sweetcorn fritter balls and the Yum Yum Salad with grilled beef. All meals were delicious I would recommend!
Lost star only because the service was very slow, staff seemed to not be very attentive to their customers.

Very good,relaxed, friendly,good portion size and good tasty food. Highly recommended. Would visit again.thanks fiends had Thai curry, I had pad Thai and we both had spring rolls, all very tasty thanks.

Such a wonderful restaurant.
Great seating, clean. I had the loveliest server called Victoria - she was brilliant. Gave me a fantastic recommendation for late lunch/ early dinner. Felt really luck to be there at happy hour! The portions of food are generous and delicious!

Have return again since then- the portions are wonderfully generous. The Vietnamese coffee tastes great too!

Definitely recommend this restaurant!

Great pan Asian dishes, very warm and friendly staff, profesional service, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended 10/10

I had a great time with my friends. The food was really good and the ambience was perfect. Our servers were really polite and fun to be around. They made the whole night all night more enjoyable. Thank you, Priya, DJ and Ali. I’m looking forward to coming back again, Luxa and the rise in the banana leaf and the noodles. It was all really good but my favourite was the sweet-and-sour chicken

Food was delicious so does drinks (2for1 was nice deal) but service was pretty bad. You have to download their food menu (drink menu is on the paper) but can’t order online and have to call waitress to take your order. We were told that we need to pay “online” bit system basically doesn’t work and once again we needed to call waitress so we could pay. What’s the point of having app instead of paper menu if the app doesn’t work and is useless?
We decided to do not pay service charge which has been already included(12.5%) as it was basically too much in our opinion for service which we have received. There was just a few costumers and at the end we were alone but needed to call stuff more than twice when we wanted to pay.

Had a lovely dinner at banana tree, there was 2 for one on cocktails which included mocktails for those driving, which were delicious!

The food was really yummy & full of flavour. We certainly didn’t leave hungry.

Service was good & we had no complaints. Would return again.

I was served by two lovely ladies Otgi and Priya.The food choice was exceptional. I hope they can make papaya salad with Chicken and more prawn and beef option. Such a variety always coming here only that l moved, so it's a real treat when l come to Banana tree in Battersea. The service was wonderful.

The service was great, the food (Chicken Pad Thai) was AMAZING and the lychee martini was good. Would totally recommend this place to anyone that wants to try a chicken pad Thai for the first time.

The food is reasonably priced but the cocktails are a bit expensive considering there wasn't a lot of alcohol in it.

Banana Tree Islington

I really like banana tree! it is really tasty always great service and a real value for money! Well done guys. Today a waitress gave a loyalty card. She was very polite and nice. Will come back again! 5/5

Edit 16.04 Another amazing experience and tastes! I had the soup with noodles and chicken and the prawns for starter. Delicious. Also Marina was super helpful. We'll done guys!

Loved it!!! I went with my cousin for lunch. We ordered Vegan Singapore laksa and blackened monks noodles.
Worth every penny, taste was bang on, decent portions and cocktails were really good too. Great experience - highly recommend!

Trust me you won’t get disappointed, full of  flavour and test with excellence of the presentation combined will made your day. Plus the ambience was perfect. Our servers were really polite and helpful. I will definetley come back again

We had a great experience at Banana Tree Islington. The food was delicious, it tasted fresh and so well presented. My favourite was the Laksa soup for starter. There are so many vegan options and variety of vegan alternatives (vegan pieces, tofu and another one I don't remember).  Prices are OK, I would expect a little less. Also 2 for 1 cocktails.

Delightful evening. Canteen style, flavoursome food.
Wasn’t a fan of the kefir leaf prawn
But the Thai green curry with chicken was 💕
Some foods are halal. Please check with them when u attend.

Gyoza Guys

Hands down the best Gyozas you’ll ever experience

I’ve tried many and will always return for a taste off these delicious, perfectly cooked parcels of joy

Chef Amir is constantly experimenting with new flavours and ways to deliver his food

The passion and dedication shows with the work that goes into selling these at the market every week

I’m grateful that they’ve made it through 2020 and 2021 and will no doubt keep going from strength to strength

In an ever changing landscape of Maltby street traders this business has remained a familiar landmark and reference point

Try them any time of the day to satisfy your umami desires and quell that need for some spice in your life!

Soooo yummy! Note this is a stand on Maltby Street market. Finding seating can be tricky as it tends to be busy.

It's been over 5 years since I first visited Gyoza guys and haven't been able to stop since then.  I'm there every single weekend. Chef Amir is always there, greeting his regular and new customers with a smile. He personally prepares what is, without a doubt, the best Gyoza sold in London.

Prices did shoot up after COVID but every other stall in Maltby market quickly followed to what has become the new normal. When the legendary prawn gyoza returns, this review gets a perfect score, as that was the perfect Gyoza. Prepare yourself for culinary heaven!

Lovely guys, Thank-you so much for the delicious chilli oil, and thr gyozas were amazing, particularly loved the pork and the chicken!

Awesome gyoza, generously filled, delicious sauces on top. I went to Maltby Street Market specifically for them and I didn't get disappointed. I'm so glad that they convinced me to take the bento box because I almost liked the Udon noodles and the salad more than the gyoza. The more I ate, the more I liked it. As you eat, you get trough layers and layers of Japanese cuisine flavour.  It was great, I will definitely go and find them again!

The Ivy Asia St Paul's

My partner booked this restaurant for my birthday last Thursday. We were welcomed from the beginning and the place was absolutely stunning. The hostess showed us our seat by the window that was just perfect with the view of St. Paul’s. The Waitress Gabriella made us feel comfortable and showed us the Menu and gave us suggestions. She was always present and on point with food and more drinks!
The dinner was lovely, we had a selection of 6 different small plates, so delicious and with a very unique taste. We ended up with the red dragon for dessert and Gabriella brought a celebration plate with vanilla mochi and a candle for my birthday.
The whole experience was amazing and
we are definitely going back to visit this restaurant!

Amazing…light and flavorful dumplings, salad was fresh and perfectly balanced, chicken skewers were off the chart, sushi was fresh and delicious and presented beautifully, atmosphere is lively and fun and staff is very attentive and friendly.  We did not have a booking for they were full but the made room for us at the chef’s table.  To top it off our waiter was one of the owners but did not tell us until the end.  He is a humble servant and he has trained the staff to perfection.  A must stop in London! Great view of St Paul’s Cathedral from every table.

Absolutely love it here. The staff, the food, the vibe, everything is absolutely amazing.
I have been here for dinner and the afternoon tea and all I can say is, whatever the occasion and food choice it doesn't disappoint.
It is so beautifully decorated, with the lighting avocado floors to the beautiful pink blossom trees. I had the same waiter as last time. Daniel is such a lovely guy, attentive even though he is really busy, so calm, relaxed and such an asset to the restaurant. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Had a fantastic evening here at The Ivy Asia. The starters were incredible and the best part of the meal in my opinion, the main courses were good but not as good as the starters. Some of the meat was Halal which is always an added bonus and the atmosphere was great too! A bit pricey, but I guess given the location and interior of the restaurant, this is expected. Wouldn't go back in a rush but on a special occasion, I'd definitely consider it!

Delicious food in such a beautiful setting. Interior decor is outstanding. Great service. We were served by Christian who looked after us very well. Highly recommended for a special occasion. Great cocktails too, we all had a fabulous evening  :)))

JustEat UK

Spoon & Rice Boxpark Wembley

Great choice of local food on their menu. I went for the pork belly with rice, including salad, and springs rolls as a starter/side. Sauce was tangy but not overbearing as the rice and salad helps balance the taste. Vast restaurants here, and would recommend if you’re looking to try a different cuisine!

Got this on UberEATS, it was my first time trying the Pinoy chicken and it was sooo good. I'm definitely getting food from them again😊 only thing I wish I got a little more of the sauce because I love sauce but it's not a deal breaker

We visited here for lunch on the last day of Ed Sheeran’s concert. The food was incredibly tasty unlike any other Filipino restaurants I’ve tried here in London.
I ordered a crispy chicken and sauce (which I forgot the name of; something ~Juan~) with salad and rice. Really good portion and very affordable.

A must try for Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike. I wish there is a branch near Hammersmith so I can buy frequently. 😋😋😋

Edit: came back today for lunch before the Ne-Yo concert. Still as good as the first time. Photos added.

Drove from Cambridge to try this Filipino street food here in UK. Fantastic service and very good quality food. Kids love it even more!! Bbq, crispy chicken, lechon kawali , Lomi are amongst of our best choices!  Miss Glyn, the owner even said hello to us and checked how's everthing, from service to food quality. What a fantastic customer service from the friendly staff. Spoon and rice will spread their branches all over UK with out doubt and I am hoping they can put up one in Cambridge too!!

Craving Satisfied!! Two thumbs up!! We will be back!!

First and last time eating from the Spoon and Rice, Box Park. I still feel quite ill. The taste of the food is probably lovely but the oil was far too much. I ordered the chicken juander meal. It is definitely crispy like it says but it was dripping with oil and soaked through. The wedges had soaked up oil and the salad was coated with oil. If I had chosen a different option I might not have had the same experience. I can't think about eating anything right now as I still have the thought and taste of oil served with chicken n wedges In my head.
Positive is that the portions were OK. However , for nearly £10 they should be!

We have Halal food on our menu including: Pinoy Grilled Chicken, Spoon & Rice Wrap (Chicken), Spoon & Rice Lumpia (Chicken), Chicken Juander.

Dining room with cosy red velvet banquettes

The grand, luxurious settings of Park Chinois were unforgettable! 

We were lucky enough to visit one of the most lavish and beautiful restaurants we’ve ever dined at...Park Chinois- even the name rings elegance! 🤣 We started off by trying the Szechuan Vegetable dumpling and Wagyu Beef Gyoza, which were delightful starters, the former being a little spicier and the latter being more rich and savoury. We then had the immaculate looking Wagyu Beef Short Ribs, which was again filled with rich flavours while the Wagyu beef was so tender you could eat it without even chewing. We also got the Roast Duck Fried Rice and Gamberi Rossi (Prawns), these two dishes were not as delicious as the others but they were not bad nonetheless.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Park Chinois on Instagram

Park Chinois

With so many amazing Chinese restaurants in London you need to be selective which ones you choose to dine at.

Although the meal was pleasant, interior was nice, staff overall was friendly, good dishes that we ordered. Something was missing to make me highly recommended it.

I have eaten here twice now, and I must say it was a better place with the entertainment, so I would advice to come here when that is on as it lacked atmosphere on Friday lunchtime.

Park Chinois is a very upscale and fancy Chinese restaurant at the heart of Central London. The vibes and interiors are really nice and well themed. It’s got an old school classy feeling to it. The live jazz band is also a great touch.
The food here is also really good. Really recommend the starters to share.  We also ordered a main each to share. Definitely get the carbonara. A really interesting dish!

Highly recommend to finish with the dessert platter. We were able to share this across four people. Small little bites to finish off a good meal!

Who can deny Chinese food and music are absolutely compatible. The place was decorated in classic style that give feeling of Chinese mafia period. All food is good especially Peking duck. This place is good music lover, chill out dining with your special person. Highly recommended!!

Fabulous experience - good food, cocktails, & service. The atmosphere is truly unique and provides an unforgettable experience. However, the price tag versus the food quantity can be stark and the noise difficult to manage for any guests who are hard of hearing. You will often have to share multiple starters or mains to have enough, but still the taste & experience makes it worth it.

Interesting dishes and the duck was spectacular, just not sure it is worth that much 🤷🏽‍♀️ Cocktails we’re very good but barman charged £3 to hand it over the bar. Sea urchin carbonara was very good but had tiny amounts of sea urchin and the dish was actually better without it. Service could have been better especially for 15%

Select beef and chicken dishes are halal. Halal duck needs to be preordered. Pork and alcohol is served. 

Finding tasty and flavoursome halal sandwiches can be quite hard but @panaderabakery_ offers an amazing corned beef hash sando we’d definitely recommend. It’s filled with tender beef coated in a breadcrumb, potatoes, crispy fried onions, lettuce and mayonnaise and the slightly sweet and buttery pandesal bread really brought it together ! We definitely enjoyed this sandwich and will be going back for it again, as well as some of their drinks and sweet treats !!!

@cravinghalal's review of Panadera Camden on Instagram

Panadera

These are some of the best sando’s I’ve ever had! Wow the flavour and the balance of fresh and soft and crunchy is out of this world! I’ve had the beef hash sando before and came back to try the new chicken mushroom one and it’s equally as good! You can’t miss this place if you’re in Camden, delicious coffee too. My only regret is that I didn’t get the meal deal as it’s great value for money.

We are already a fan of RamoRamen so had high hopes with Panadera, and have to say it didn’t disappoint.

The service was great, we spoke to a lady whose name I didn’t catch, she spent her time explaining the differences in the sandwiches, and was very attentive in a busy store. She came over to check how our meal was, and was a pleasure to speak to. If she’s reading this ‘thank you :)’

Loved eating Egg Sandos in Japan, and haven’t been able to find an equivalent here in London, although this wasn’t like Japan, it was different but not in a bad way. This tasted more gourmet.

Lets start with the surprise winner of the day, the Ube milk was creamy, earthy, and tasted better than i expected, the only criticism, the cup was filled with ice on a winters day at 4 degrees, and left us with little drink to enjoy.

The egg Sando was different to what i was expecting, the truffle really adds a nice earthy flavour, and elevates what would have been an otherwise sweet sandwich. Would definitely recommend

The Corned Beef Hash Sando, by no means was bad, but wasn’t my favourite, was a little salty, and i think could have done without the hash brown, i still enjoyed it but was different to what i was expecting.

£10 for the Egg Truffle Sando with an additional £2.50 to make it a meal which added thai crackers and a milk Ube.

£7.50 for the Corned Beef Hash Sando, they gave free thai crackers with this order which was appreciated.

Definitely a big thumbs up 👍🏽

I tried their corned beef hash Sando which was very delicious, full of flavours and very filling. We had pandera loaf for takeaway but find it a bit dry and expensive for the quality so used it for French toast and that was good. The service was a little slow but staff were nice

Have the corned beef hash sando, you won’t regret it. I didn’t know it was possible for a sandwich to be that good… I also had a piece of Spanish Bread, surprisingly it was dry and flavourless actually - nothing to write home about. I’d love to come back and try the egg sando and the chicken/mushroom sando. Friendly staff, slow service  (at least they were aware and apologised for it - they were trying their best). The sando was delicious though so definitely worth the wait, I even called back in later in the afternoon to get the ube iced latte… worth a visit if you’re in the area! I’ll come back next time I’m in London for sure! Check out their Filipino ice cream store as well, Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream - you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve visited Panadera before but had wanted to revisit for some time after being a fan of their sandos. Whilst we did have quite a wait for the sandos I would say the quality of the sandwiches were quite good as always, opting for the Corned Beef Hash and Chicken and Mushroom sandos. It’s definitely more on the oily side just for your awareness. We opted for the meal deal for our sandos so also received some Thai prawn crackers and drinks with our meal. Thus, we opted for the Milo Milk and Ube Milk. Both are great drinks! The Ube drink was tasty; with a strong Ube taste though it was quite grainy at the bottom as the powder hadn’t fully dissolved. The Milo had a strong taste of chocolate but to others may be overwhelming as the flavour is quite rich but a perfect balance for my personal taste.

Other than the meal deals, I’ve always appreciated their baked goods. I’d recommend their Ube tart to try! And if you want a slightly coffee kick, I’d recommend their Spanish iced latte too!

Bonda Kitchen Paddington

This fully halal little joint, close to Paddington Station was a lovely experience. The food was tasty and the staff were very friendly. We had ordered prawn chive dumplings along with the prawn and crab ones. The 2 main meals were meat laksa and beef rendang with bao. All of which was served quite quickly with little wait time. I would like to try different things on the menu next time. Reasonably priced!

When you find a hidden gem it’s always hard to decide shall I share or keep it to myself…
This Halal Malaysian restaurant was full of surprises… great food great service and zero complaints.
Food here is totally fresh and every dish was completely unique in its taste. Favourite dish here was the  beef rendang rolls.
Looking in my diary for when I can come visit again.

See you soon

I went there tonight with a friend. It was quite pleasant. The food I ordered was all very nice but I tried some of the ones friend ordered and they weren't as nice.

I got a seafood platter - they all tasted good but could be quite similar in taste for some. There were some subtle differences but there was a prawn dominance in there for me. The kimchi in the middle of the platter tasted very good on its own but because it was very spicy and strong, it overpowered the subtle seafood taste of the dumplings so had to wait for that burning sensation to go away a bit before eating another dumpling. I only tried a bit of the dipping sauce with one dumpling and i didn't use it as for me, without the sauce would allow me to appreciate that original seafood flavour.

I had a crab and sweetcorn soup. It was nice but maybe a bit too much pepper for my liking.

I then ordered the crab and prawn dumpling (the purple looking ones) and they were very good too.

We shared a prawn cheung fun and for me this one is the weakest among the dimsum I mentioned. The pickled radish on it was too salty and the cheung fun case can be improved.

I tried a bit of friends leafy wrap thing and I didn't like it. He didn't either.

I was happy with my choice. Despite a bit of imperfections, it was all in all very good and delightful. I'd definitely visit again next when in the area.

Went here yesterday, place is hidden below in a basement. Despite the very slow but friendly service (only 2 staff) the food was phenomenal, arrived hot n succulent and the portions were very good at reasonable prices.

Ordered the prawn kway teow goreng noodles and chicken siu mai dumplings. These were some of the tastiest dishes I’ve had in a while. Cooked to perfection.

The seating is very compact and may require booking during busy times.

The only order I wasn’t completely satisfied with was the teh tarik tea, it’s meant to be sweet but their version had very less condensed milk n therefore didn’t hit the spot. That being said, will be back soon. 😀

DELICIOUS & QUALITY FOOD

It really is a hidden gem tucked away on the corner in Paddington. It's quite a small restaurant so a reservation is most certainly needed. Each of the staff were really friendly and one of the chefs even came to the table to see how our meal went.

To get the range of dim sum, we got both the deep fried platter and the seafood platter. Each piece was beautifully crispy.

I got the beef rendang rolls which were fantastic. Again amazingly crispy with a rich and tender beef filling.

The most enjoyable thing about this place is the variety of dishes that you can get which allow you to experience a lot of different, tasty and fresh flavours. Everything thing including the prawn laksa and nasi lemak ayam were fantastic.

Bonda Kitchen

High-end Pan-Asian cuisine plus cocktails and live DJ sets in an extravagant baroque setting.

Seafood is the best food 😋
.
We headed to Buddha Bar last Sunday. For starters we ordered the Rock Shrimp Tempura and Chilli Baby Squid. The Shrimp was covered in a mouth-watering batter and tasted great with and without sauce 👌🏽 The batter on the Squid could’ve been a little thicker and more crunchy, but we still enjoyed it. We also asked for the Black Cod and Salmon Fishcakes, which were my favourite! The potato didn’t overpower the fish and the breadcrumb coating was deliciously crumbly 🤤 Buddha Bar have an extensive range of sushi, and after much deliberation we decided on the Hokusai Maki. We were certainly not disappointed and it was probably our favourite dish! The Prawn Thai Red Curry had a very strong flavour of coconut which Naimul really liked, but we would have preferred the veggies to have been cooked a little longer.
The atmosphere at Buddha Bar was cool and the restaurant itself is stunning, so it’s a lovely place for dinner with friends or your other half!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Bhudda Bar Knightsbridge on Instagram

Steamed sea bass fillet, cherry tomato, Thai basil, red chilli and lemongrass from @Buddha_Bar_London 
The sea bass was cooked well but the portion was just too small. I also had a taste of my friends chicken dishes and that tasted really good, tender, grilled well and not dry.

Ordered the "Wellness menu" - where for £29 you get a drink, choice of salad starter, main and desert. This displayed value for money so I opted for that.

Starters I ordered the Quinoa, sweet potato & spiced feta salad, the sea bass, with rice (pictured) with Dark chocolate coated strawberries for desert and a Pina Colda to drink which was brilliant, in fact the drinks where all very good.

Service was okay, out waiter explained the menu well and was friendly. It was a friday night so there was a lot of hustle and bustle. The wellness menu is decent value for money, but the A La carte is overpriced. 
ℹ Only the Chicken is halal.

@halalfoodguy's review of Bhudda Bar Knightsbridge on Instagram

Buddha-Bar London

This is a unique environment.  I have experienced Buddha Bar in NY, Paris, and now London.

Very sweet vibe, pricey yet delicious!
Definitely worth the visit..

I loved the ambience but my experience with dining was a big disappointment. I was expecting the food to be great because I had read so many good reviews, however it was far from great. Over priced and food was tasteless.

Very bad service. When entering, they told us that there is no table for you now. Sit at the bar 🤬 and after a long argument with them, they said we will prepare a table for you.  Unwelcoming reception and rude .  The food was normal and the atmosphere was very noisy and uncomfortable. I do not recommend it

What a great spot with amazing food and super cool vibe. Try the toro tartar 😻 as well as their ceviche and sesame cake. This place is great for both romantic dinners and fun-filled nights. We had amazing time, to repeat.

The sushi was incredible. The beef short rib was flavourful and cooked to perfection. The overall vibe of the restaurant is nice, a bit dark inside for photos but really good service. Not too expensive for what it is, perfect for date night

All our meat is halal except the duck, with alcohol served in the restaurant. There might be dishes with alcohol as well, make sure to ask your waiter/state your dietary requirements when booking.

@littlefoodiethoughts's review of Bari Bari Whitechapel on Instagram

Bari Bari

We just had a take out lunch and the food was good with the lunch menu price.
Ordered L2, L15 and L17.  Squid dish quite spicy but taste really good. The beef rib soup was nice too.
The reason we gave 3 stars due to missing “side dishes” that’s should come with L15 & 17. Also the staff working there was not friendly at all.

They are real Korean and food was okay, maybe that’s why there’s a queue and full house all the time.

I want to make clear that we did not have BBQ, so this review regards other food.
The reason for the 3 stars is due to: price and quality of food and service.
Although it was a bit busy (I've seen busier places with a better service), I find the delay in serving drinks and food not justifiable.
About the food, we had the Korean pancake which I consider a classic and it was a disappointment. The texture was quite springy (I like the pancake more crunchy) and it lacked flavour, but it might depend on your own taste. The tofu seafood stew was good as well as the noodles, but I was not impressed. So, basically they were average.
What we paid so not worth the price we paid. There are other places in central (Soho and Tottenham) cheaper and tastier!
Again, the BBQ might be different.

One of my favourite restaurants! Food was really hot and came within 10-15 minutes. All chicken and beef is halal and cooked separately. Very high quality and lovely staff. Would definitely go again!! Food in pictures: tteoboki, chicken with rice, chicken dumplings, Korean fried chicken, tofu soup, more Korean fried chicken and jajangmyeon. The Korean fried chicken was the crunchiest chicken I have EVER tasted and the sauce was delicious

I really enjoyed this venue.

I do like Korean food but this was the first time that I tried the table-top BBQ.

Only gripe was the kimchi, it appeared to be picked but not fermented, it was tasty though.

The meat portions for the BBQ were very generous. I would say that a single portion was enough for two people.

The staff are attentive, polite and accomodating.

I will definitely dine here again.

Although it was fully booked they made space for us especially with us having 2 pushchairs, the service was lovely. At first our food came quick and when we ordered again it did come slower but that was bound to happen due to them being busy. Overall great food and lovely staff :)

We serve Halal, ask a member of staff for details. Pork and Alcohol are also served.

Kinkao

I was searching for a good Thai place for a long time. I dined here a couple of times. A great place with multiple variety of items. The food is well cooked and flavourful, and finally you can't miss the beautiful garnishing . Order some chilli oil if you want it extra hot.
Ambience is great to spend a quality time with friends and family. I would highly recommend this place who wants to try out authentic food.

My number one go to Thai food place! Everything was finger licking delicious!

Highly recommend the mixed starter platter, paneang curry with side of coconut rice, and the apple strudel dessert.

Location is amazing, for an after dinner Waterfront stroll.

Restaurant is a lovely Thai theme. Service is professional, polite and helpful and they have their own car park right outside!

Give it a go. You'll love it and enjoy the location!

I have always enjoyed dining here, the starters and mains are both nice. I usually get the aromatic duck with the sauce and pancake as a starter and have tried different mains like the chicken and beef. The workers are pleasant too, there is a large indoor seating area and I have also sat outside on the waterfront which is nice when the weather isn’t windy.

My go to place, can't go wrong. Reliable, consistent, quality and great tasting food. Staff are always polite and helpful. The venue is clean, easy parking in front and you can end your evening with a Riverside walk.

Food is really good here with generous portions. We ordered the set meal and there was plenty of food and a good selection.  However service was very slow but they said they were very short staffed so would give them the benefit of the doubt and visit again one day.

The BEST Seafood Hot Plate 🙌🏽
We popped into the London Bridge Branch of Rosa’s Thai after work for a quick dinner. We were really impressed with the food, especially the Calamari, which was light and crispy. We also got the Chicken Wings which weren’t bad. For mains we asked for the Grilled Steak Strips and Seafood Hot Plate. Both were delicious; we requested the steak be cooked to a medium so it wasn’t chewy, and it was cooked perfectly. The Seafood Hot Plate was amazing 🤤. A mixture of prawns, mussels, calamari and veg, drenched in a yummy spicy sauce. Customer service was also excellent, our waitress really went the extra mile to ensure we were having a good time and enjoying the food! 👌🏽

@twopeasfoodies's review of Rosa's Soho on Instagram

Amazingly I'd never actually been to @rosasthaicafe before. Well, now I have. Had some nice Thai food here, pictured is the beef stir fry and the famous prawn pad thai .

A simple and casual place with good food and vibes. I ate at the Carnaby location, but they have serveral around town. .

The chicken and beef are halal here. There is pork, but its limited to 2 dishes and cooked separately .

I paid for my meal in full.

@halalfoodguy's review of Rosa's Soho on Instagram

Rosa's Thai Soho

Great food with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Also wide range of spice levels from mild to heavy, highly recommend sharing dishes across the entire group.

Recommend reservations - Soho district gets crowded in evenings.  There is extra seating located downstairs.

As usual a lovely experience.  Staff friendly,  I had Thai fried rice with chicken and extra chicken satay, delicious & yummy, and good portions!  The home made lemon ice tea is very nice, proper. Tad strong so I diluted it with some water.

I come here every once in a while,  always a happy customer.

Excellent food and excellent service. But it is small and it is busy, but that it is so busy is a testament to how good it is. I think given the current inflation pressure the food is reasonably priced and is incredibly tasty. It is well decorated and I really enjoy the colourful aesthetic. I was happy for the amount of King prawns I received with my pad thai and the crispy onions in the pad thai absolutely took it to another level.

I have been to different Rosa around London for quick meals, and this branch definitely standouts in service and taste.

The food was very nice. I ordered glass noodles salad, grilled pork salad, and sweetcorn salad from the special menu and they were all fantastic. The service was great. The staff, Billy, was very friendly and attentive.

Delicious food, tasty drinks and service with a smile. I would recommend booking as they tend to get busy, I walked up and luckily managed to get a table outside (there are a couple). Very much enjoyed this visit, will be coming back for sure!

Our chicken and beef across all stores is Halal.

Rosa's Thai

Mei Mei

Self service, ordered via a tablet. Ordered the steamed chicken and rice. Tasty dish with sauces too. Only downside was the portion was a tad small. If I'd know I would have ordered more stuff. Not much seating but a few bar seats.

My son had heard of Mei Mei from a YouTube channel he watches, Uncle Roger. So when it clicked for him that we were visiting the UK, we just had to go. We love food review and cooking shows. It was a delight to discover that the food at Mei Mei was just as tasty as Uncle Roger lead us to believe.

My son wants to say his food was tasty, it arrived quickly and that when we visit the UK again, we need to go back 😊

The Michelin guide says that to be two stars requires excellent cooking, making a visit worth a detour. Well on a recent trip to London I went more than an hour out of my way to visit Mei Mei and I'm happy to say it was well worth it. Just like the hawker markets in Singapore the food is served humbly, best eaten at the stall front bench along your fellow diners. The food is fresh and vibrant.
