Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

Nando's Baker Street

Good experience, nice chips and chicken. I ordered medium spicy, because I cannot eat that spicy foods, and it turns out this level is suitable for me, fortunately!! I love butter with corn.

Visited today and have to mention the negatives. Took over 40 minutes for me to get my food all I ordered was loaded fries. In the end I asked someone what’s going on with my food, 10 minutes later it came I genuinely believe  they forgot about my food and if I didn’t say anything I would been waiting a lot longer.

I can see the negative reviews and looks like I’m not the one who has had this problem!

* This branch is halal * in case your wondering..

Nice and healthy I would say.. basic chicken. Better ask with with BBQ sauce. Then they bring chicken dipped in that’s such. Looks and taste better. Quite cheap.

Quite good chicken with interesting sauce, fast. Funny ordering system, you scan qr at the table and choose food in the app. The place can get very loud.

Friendly staff, ordered for take away. The garlic bread was amazing as well as the corn. I’m always taking the spiciest option - the chicken breast was extremely spicy but really tasty!

We have 385 restaurants, 72 of which serve only Halal chicken and are signposted both in the restaurant and online. A small proportion of chicken sold in our other restaurants may also be Halal.

Hoppers

The one thing I'm sure of is that I'm definitely coming back to Hoppers! The food was amazing. For drinks, I had the Guava Lassi, and it was one of the best lassis I've ever had. For appetizers, we had the mutton rolls. For main dishes, we had the chicken biryani, the hopper, and the chicken curry. Every dish tasted heavenly, and the spices used were exceptional. I've never had Sri Lankan food before, but after Hoppers, it's becoming one of my favorites. Also, I must mention that the waiters were very professional, helpful, and attentive. The ambiance was beautiful with all the Sri Lankan decorations.

First time trying Hoppers and it won't be the last. This place is a great introduction to Sri Lankan food.
The food was outstanding and the beef fry was the star of the dinner. The mutton rolls were the best we've ever had. It would have been nice if the kothu came with a gravy and some chutneys with the string hoppers instead of charging for every little thing.
The drinks were very nice and different from your average cocktails. The service was great and very attentive.

We'd definitely be going back with family and friends. Highly recommended this restaurant.

We opted for the Festive set menu for £48 per person, and were amazed by the quality, variety and selection of dishes. The flavours were outstanding- especially the lamb kottu, and the karis were to die for. The chefs did the well-known Hoppers justice, for sure.

If you’re visiting during the festive period, definitely try out these dishes. The decor and atmosphere were pretty nice, and very clean and presentable. We will endeavour to visit Hoppers again after this great experience.

I had a booking for 7:15PM for which we were seated at 7:30PM. At regular 5 min intervals from 8:30PM onwards the servers kept attempting to clear our plates even though we still had substantial food that we had not finished and we had mentioned multiple times that we were still eating. We had also just ordered another bottle of wine. Then we were informed at 9:05PM that we had kept our table over time and it was meant to have been returned by 9PM even though we had been seated late.

When informing the person who wanted to take the table back of the situation, I had to clarify again that we had been seated late and we were at least entitled to have 15 minutes more. At last, it was conceded we could stay till 9:30PM.

The food was really good, particularly the chicken biryani, mutton rolls and dosas. The dimbula punch was also surprisingly different from typical punches with the inclusion of basil seeds.

However, being rushed out the door due to the restaurant’s own booking issues was not appreciated.

I really enjoyed most of the food. The food arrive very fast, even to fast.. Faster of the drink. Drink selection could be better and drink suppose to arrive before your food. Out of many dish we try i didn't enjoy the pork curry and the roti are dry the rest was very good. My prefer dish the bone marrow and dosa.

You Me Sushi

I almost didnt get anything from here because the Google rating was so low and the photos of the food looked so poor on their menu. But it was 8pm, I was on my way to catch a train, starving and just decided to get something anyway because the staff was so friendly.

So happy I did! I was really impressed by the miso aubergine, beautifully cooked and not too sweet. I’ve had so many miso aubergines (I’m vegan) and this one was really delicious! I was not expecting a lot, but the flavour and texture was perfect and the rice and edamame beans with roasted peppers was a lovely compliment.

Kept me full on my journey and no bad aftertastes, seemed very fresh and took 10 min to prepare but I didn’t mind waiting for it.

Highly recommend this place. Nice staff, decent vegan food options, I just wouldn’t eat inside because the table / decor / lighting is a bit grimy.

Plenty of options for good sushi at affordable price. Katsu curry rice is the hidden gem. I always buy on Tuesday to get the 10pounds off. I ordered it through their own youme app and never had any problem with packing and delivery. Recommended!

Sushi were good but looked really sketchy. Not the best quality but not the worst. Nothing spectacular about them.

Sadly, outrageously bad.

My experience nose-dived, and then somehow descended again and again; from plain incompetence, to clear deception.

Thinking I’d help them keep the usual Deliveroo cut, I pre-ordered using the YouMeSushi app. Big mistake; huge.

My order was not delivered. YouMeSushi said that it couldn’t be, because they relied on third party delivery riders - and they couldn’t just request one. Their suggestions scored high on the comically-awful-customer-service meter: a) get a taxi across town to collect my food myself or b) place a repeat order (and hope the same didn’t happen again). I chose c) no food and a refund.

The Manager, Victoria, said that the restaurant could not process the refund - and the best thing to do would be for me - not her (!) - to contact Hungrrr, who administer their app.

Two days later, and despite asking for the restaurant to organise my refund, I didn’t have it. So I phoned Hungrrr myself. Who were surprised to hear from me. They make apps for restaurants and don’t deal with customers directly. They were clear that restaurants process refunds and are well aware of this.

So, YouMeSushi, which is it: did you not know something basic (which you should have) or did you just lie (to what, try and avoid a refund for food you didn’t deliver)?

Other YouMeSushi customers, has this also happened to you, but you’ve not had the time or patience to chase your refund? Are we actually looking at an orchestrated scheme to defraud?

Had the Katsu curry and rice, and it’s very tasty! Looked amazing, presentation was on point. Curry was delicious. Quick delivery and food portion size!

We have recently improved our processes to remove mirin (alcohol) from our preparation process. All our chicken tempura is halal but our chicken gyoza is not halal.

Great atmosphere, lovely service and very messy burgers!

We asked for the ‘Ari Gold’ Cheeseburger and ‘Lambshank Redemption’ Burger. One thing we can certainly say is that the burgers were not dry at all 👌🏽 Absolutely SMOTHERED in sauce and the patties were SO moist 🤤 both burgers were tasty, but the cheeseburger did have a smokey sauce that we weren’t a fan of. The Cheeseballs were good, but we would have preferred them to maybe have a little something more, like chillies or coriander. Lovely place for a quick bite to eat but avoid if you are on a first date! 😂
P.s. note that the chicken is not halal, only the lamb and beef for us Muslims 😊

@twopeasfoodies's review of Patty&Bun Marylebone on Instagram

#invite @pattyandbun now serves Halal options in all of their stores! If you’re visiting then you need to go to either Kingly Court or James St because their Beef is Halal, and their Ari Gold Cheeseburger (£10.50) is a solid contender for one of the best Halal burgers you can have bang in the middle of Central London!
They also do vegan options which taste incredibly similar to real meat!
Ask your server when visiting what the Halal options are because not all are Halal!

@halalfooddiary's review of Patty&Bun Marylebone on Instagram

Patty&Bun - James Street

Great burger place. Staff is super friendly, portions are generous and burgers are just delicious. Coleslaw and fries perfect as well.
Super location too.
Definitely recommend !

Really good quality burger. The bougie burger had great flavor. Hot chicken sandwich is pretty spicy. Both sandwiches were good but a bit small for the price. Fries with curds and gravy were good but the fries were probably frozen. They would have been better if they were a thick hand cut chip.

After 3 years we came back to this famous burger joint in St Christopher Place. Nothing has changed and staff had welcomed us with broad smile. Smokey Robinson was delicious and melted in my mouth. Wife had chicken burger. Overall it was a pleasant meal.

Nice spot to have a burger.  The atmosphere is very laid back.  There is ambient music in the background but the good thing is that it's not so loud that you can't hear conversations.  The burger was nice, not too dry which is great.  I had mine with the salted caramel milkshake which hit the spot.  The staff are friendly and they don't hover around but now and then ask if you are okay, a delicate balance they seem to have nailed down.

This restaurant is located off the water so the views are quite lovely. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere was very warm and cosy very inviting. Food was incredible I mean it was just fantastic the portions was large and satisfying. Me and my wife had the tiger prawns as starter and and b&l combo for 2 as mains. We drove to b&l because there is pay & display parking only 1 min away

Our lamb and chicken is Halal at all locations. Our beef is Halal at Kingly and James St.

Guilt-free, simple and nutritious dishes to enhance your mind, body and soul

Simple Health Kitchen

If you’re trying to keep up with your healthy regime during your stay in London, you must pay Simple Health Kitchen a visit! Even if  just for one meal. They serve tasty & nutritious dishes together with handmade drinks of all kinds. The customer service is of high quality, with critically clean and welcoming staff, especially Ezerem, who made us feel very at home. I strongly suggest you spend a meal of your day in this restaurant. 10/10!!

Popped in with a couple of colleagues having seen the positive reviews on Deliveroo. Definitely a healthy option hidden amongst the other fast food!! Food was fresh and tasty, service was good and restaurant was clean. I opted for peri peri chicken (double meat) with pesto cauliflower, kale and brocoli.

The man with the beard was rude and took someome order before me. Food portions are small and prices are high. £11 for a protein box.

You compose your meal with nice food. Toilets out of order...

If you serve lukewarm precooked food on a cardboard tray, it should be illegal to charge £13.50 for it

All Meat is Halal, Measures are taken to avoid Cross contamination with Pork. Locally sourced ingredients.

Artisan Lebanese ice cream and hot chocolate

Festok

Friendly staff with knowledge of the food. Didn't think of having to eat ice cream with a knife, but first time trying lebanese ice cream. Pistachio ice cream was better than any of the others I've tried. 4 stars as it's very/quite pricey.

Lovely little spot for trying Lebanese ice-cream. Went for the rose flavour in a Baklava cup which was lovely. The ice cream has a lovely texture and taste and you will need to cut it as it is  quite stretchy. While quite pricey, the quality and taste is exceptional as a treat :)

Delicious Lebanese ice cream spot with unique flavours you won’t find at other places. We tried the Achta & Crushed Pistachios, Halva, and Date flavours and they were all really tasty. I recommend trying these for sure. The girl working there was really friendly and gave good recommendations.

4 stars because the worker is nice and the flavours mainly tasted good. Not much seating available as it’s a tiny store. The cup size for large is same as other cups it seems, the cup was small although you’re paying more for more scoops. Which makes no sense.
Recommend the date flavour, probably a nice dessert once in a while. Prices on higher side.

The only place in London I've managed to find mastic ice cream, and it was absolutely delicious. It's very difficult to find ice cream parlours that have ice cream with the 'stretchy' texture, and this place was spot on. Great variety of other Lebanese treats too!

Everything on our menu is suitable for a Halal diet.

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Baker Street

I work local to the Baker Street branch of Honest and been here many times over the last 2 years. I do tend to take it away back to my desk but have often sat in. The highlight are these burgers and why I go back again and again. The.best.burgers.in.London. Truly-- I've tried!  Love that I can order medium rare and that's what I actually receive on my plate. Also love that I can have half chips and half salad with my order.  Thank you Honest Burger team!
I've eaten at a few of the other Honest- -Kings Cross, South Bank, Soho, Covent Garden...and this one has definitely had the best service.

The food is nice 5* prob one of the best burgers I’ve had in London.

One of the waitresses is weird - I asked for a soda water, she said “Oh, darling we don’t have soda water, but I’ll get you some sparkling water”. Eh??

I also asked for no side but still got a full bowl of chips.

Probably will be back hoping it’s not her shift 🙂

Delightful little place. We stumbled across it and very glad to have stepped in! There was room, decent selection, very good portions, decent prices considering the area and delicious milkshakes. Genuinely couldn’t finish the fries! One to bring visitors too!

The waitress messed up the whole order. We ordered two burgers but only one came to our table after 30 minutes. It wasn’t even what we ordered.

The waitress said one didn’t go through but the other wasn’t even what we ordered. They also use these tablets to send the orders to the kitchen. How hard is it to get an order correctly? We weren’t offered anything for the inconvenience. She said that we can leave or put another order in. Pathetic.

How is it possible to mess up a simple order like that when you’re also using tablets where a trained monkey could put an order through.

This is unheard of. I’m very disappointed by the lack of accountability for staff in this establishment. It’s like the wild west. Honest Burgers, your service is a disaster. Please install kiosks and get rid of all your staff.

The visit was on April 30th afternoon.

The selection of standard burgers, including vegetarian and vegan options, is good as well as changing specials that offer interesting new ideas.

We went for lunch on a Saturday and the restaurant seemed a little unprepared but once we were seated we could order some food and drinks.

The burgers we had were very nice and well prepared but the rosemary chips they came with on this occasion weren't great. About a quarter of the portion was overcooked scrappy bits of potato. Shame.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area but not one to visit specially.

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

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

Honest Burgers

Opulently decorated Middle Eastern restaurant and cocktail bar with belly dancers

Levant

The decor is beautiful! I think the menu is a bit limited and it seems a bit pricey, but nonetheless, the food was very tasty + filling. Very friendly staff. It's very nice to walk into, the back street would never allow you to assume something so beautiful is hidden inside. Literally like a cave of wonders!

The venue itself was great looking, very spacious but down lots of stairs. Some chairs are quite low and not log of legroom under some tables. Delicious smells. Service was good. Our group had pre ordered so when we were ready food started coming out. Everything I ate was delicious and I tasted other dishes. All lovely. Cons - I found the food expensive, 12% service charge added and only 2 very small ladies cubicles. However I would go again  to try some other dishes. Great entertainment with bellydancers who invited diners to dance with them. Had a great evening overall. I have posted a few pics of food selection but we had lots more.

Amazing restaurant with great decorations. The food has been spectacular, we have eaten many dishes of Arabic, Lebanese and Moroccan influences, with intense and very tasty textures and flavors. Very cheap prices for a medium high level of food. For me one of the best restaurants in London. Thanks for all Mr. Tony from Chefnaranja

Probably the best lamb shoulder I’ve ever had and that’s what pulls this review up the ranks,,

The service is great , ambience is also great and generally starters were good despite being over priced...

This place looses a star for their insane pricing on soft drinks and virgin cocktails which were appalling if I’m honest, abit of flavoured syrup ice and some mint leaves for £7 and it would be acceptable If it tasted good and there was enough to have a few sips ...

Overall this place is good I would recommend visiting but i probably would go again for there muhamara lamb shoulder it’s says for 2 but can feed 3/4 easily

This place offers a good variety of very tasty, eastern food.
The fattoush salad was one of the best I ate so far in London.
All the dishes have been nicely prepared and decorated. The serving time was adequate and the staff nice.
Prices are slightly expensive since the amount of food you get is less than expected.
Apart from that, it is a great place to enjoy amazing food in a nice location.

Acacus Libyan Restaurant & Shisha

Honestly, after traveling around Morocco, and also having friends of Libyan descent I was so looking forward to trying the food. Ive had bakbaka before but thought it would have been better here. Soup was good, the bakbaka needed more sauce and flavor, it was more of just a regular pasta in sauce than the traditional Libyan dish. Octopus couscous was okay, the couscous was good but octopus very rubbery. Service was extremely slow, but honestly I felt bad because they seemed very understaffed especially in the kitchen and the workers were really nice. Hopefully they can improve in the future and the restaurant will be better

We visited this authentic Libyan restaurant, food was amazing, Lamb falling off the bone.
And seabass so much flavour, Great customer service, very welcoming, friendly staff with a chill and relaxed atmosphere, highly recommended. Will visit again.

Chicken tagine was divine. Full of flavour, tender and juicy. My friend got the lamb which was also great! Highly recommend this place.

Came here with friends for shisha and desserts.
Everything was reasonably priced and the atmosphere was very nice and chill, in a very nice area. We sat outside but staff was attentive and ensured we were sufficiently heated and warm. The baklava we tried was super amazing, and the mint tea here was flavourful and just what we needed on a cold night and after a heavy meal.
The icing on the cake for our experience here was our interaction with the staff and the owner, Khalid! Very pleasant people to deal with and definitely made our night. You can tell they put their all into their service. Will definitely be back :)

Great to have Libyan food in a restaurant for once - small but nice atmosphere + great food/service

KFC London

This is the 3rd time this has happened in a year. The staff forgot to put a item in the bag. TODAY they forgot to give me my drink for the mighty bucket. Previously they forgot a item or so.
Unfortunately this is my local KFC and I love friend chicken and eat at least 2 or 3 times a month.
I try to call them but phone never works.
I've never bothered to go back and complain.
This time I'm annoyed.. how can this happen 3 times in a year!!!

Great branch, loads of seating up and downstairs. Food arrived promptly and accurate. Staff are also really friendly which adds a nice touch. Seating area is kept relatively clean and tidy. Toilet facilities available. One of the better branches! 🍗

Francesca represented amongst the highest levels of customer service that I've experienced that would even put the fancy restaurants to shame. He was very friendly, asked how my food was and if I need anything further. On my way out, he held the door open for me. A very welcoming service and amazing experience. Will definitely be back again!

No forks visible, have to ask for ketchup and mayonnaise, these should all be visible on the normal storage facility customers side.
Food was ok, but I have had better.
Once again another young staff member miserable as sin, bring back more mature servers or lose customers to the competition

We went here looking for halal options. That was all to it. It was dirty and unkempt
The trash was overflowing out of the bins since the staff was not bothered or they were just short on the help. The tables were greasy and had bits of food left from previous customers.  We sprayed our sanitiser just to be able to sit while others looked not so amused by our OCD..lol

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

Upscale Indian dishes from the southwest coast using fish and coconut

Trishna @trishnalondon is one of few halal Indian Michelin stared restaurants in London and has been on my list for a long time. They offer a decent lunch bites menu, where 2 dishes £19 per person, 3 for £24, 4 for £29 and 5 for £34. I ordered a total of 6 dishes which are the following, plus lamb chops from the la carte menu for £18.
Starters
Paneer tikka anardana [fried onion, mint, corn & pomegranate chat]
Punjabi vegetable samosa chat [chickpea masala, tamarind, sweet yoghurt]
Mains
Andhra lamb masala [curry leaf, coastal spices]
Moplah seafood biryani [seabass, shellfish, coriander, pink peppercorn raita]
Sides
Bread basket, basmati rice, Hyderabadi dal and wild mustard potatoes
Desserts
Gajar halwa [heritage carrot pudding, masala chai kulfi, cake]
Cardamom kheer [fig, raisin, pistachio, cardamom]

First of all, there was a lot of food and the portions where great, I was very pleased with the amount of food that arrived, I was very well fed and stuffed after lunch. I have to say I was expecting more for a Michelin stared restaurant, apart from the lamb chops nothing stood out or really made an impression. The lamb chops where very thick and very good, cooked well and Burnt on the outside not dry, and very juicy and moist inside infused with a tandoori flavour a very good piece of meat here. 
Venue wise, the space is small and similar to a cafe in shoreditch, I was expecting better from the decor and the service was rather average for a one star Michelin. Booking was required and we were shown to out table at 1.45pm straight away. I just felt the staff where slight unattentive. Each meal was introduced when brought to the table as standard by a restaurant with a Michelin Star. 
The total bill was under £70 which is very good considering it is a Michelin starred restaurant. However, after leaving I noticed that they charged me for 2 dishes per person and not 3. 😂😃 Full review will be posted on www.halalfoodguy.co.uk 
Chicken and lamb halal only.

@halalfoodguy's review of Trishna Marylebone on Instagram

Trishna

Probably the best Indian I’ve ever been to. I normally not big fan of Michelin, as it means the portions are small and the look is more important than the flavor. Over here, it’s not the case portions are a perfect size and food was exceptional. The staff was amazing, to start at the door all the way to our table. We ordered almost everything (yes, everything, even the waiter was surprised). And there was nothing disappointing (beside two desserts out of the 4).
Def recommend.

Food was delicious, staff were great and ambience was lovely. Price was reasonable.

Just didn’t give a 5 star as I don’t think it blew us away. Have tried a few Michelin star Indian restaurants as part of a recent fad and definitely had better. Not to say that the food wasn’t great, just not a revolution of the palates.

Desserts were surprisingly good though - really liked the Rhubarb and Pistachio ice cream. The ginger ale mix was also a interesting twist.

Wonderful lunch at Trishna given the tasty food, relaxing dining environment & excellent hospitality of servicing staff. Food was not overly spicy but still rich in flavours. The lightly curry flavoured fried squid & shrimps were good, minced duck skewer was very flavourful & juicy. The main course lamb was cooked in rich sauce with the meat almost melting in mouth. Very good value lunch & high standard Indian dishes.

One of the best dining experiences. We had a 5 course tasting menu and really enjoyed it! The food not only tastes amazing, but looks like a piece of art too. Not to mention the service we received was excellent.

The service is impeccable. The wait staff are friendly and helpful, but also know when to leave you alone to enjoy company of the person you're with, and the meal itself.

I wouldn't say the food is worthy of a Michelin. The lamb curry is very ordinary. Probably had better in Tooting to be honest. I won't be rushing back.

Great selection of wines.

Our chicken, lamb and goat is Halal. There is no pork on the menu and we prepare separately to non-Halal ingredients to avoid cross-contamination. Alcohol is served.

Swanky Pakistani restaurant tucked away behind Marble Arch station

Zayna

I had an average experience in here, the food is too spicy (hot) as expected from such cuisine. But the spices lacked the usual flavors. The prices are a bit steep. However, the place is so clean and the atmosphere is nice with relaxing music

The restaurant location is very convenient and is just 10 minutes walk from Marble Arch underground.
We were in a party of ten guests including children to enjoy the evening meal one Friday evening in August. The seatings were comfortable and the staffs showed great patience in spite of some of us were late arrivals by up to 49 minutes!
Overall food tasted good but the Naan breads were not succulent and soft but hard and partially burnt - definitely not a good value for money @ £4 a piece! The food arrived in good time and was served at right temperature. The Malbec Red was excellent and fresh tasting - it tasted better than the red from when we were in Mendoza, Argentina a few years ago! The service was fast.
The ambience of the restaurant was great especially in the evening with the outdoor seating and the enclosure on the pavement.
Would I visit the place again - most probably yes!

Absolutely ”AMAZING” food whenever we go.  The Curry is authentic and the lamb chop are spot on. Nice friendly service with great food. The meat is succulent and the quality is above average.

overly priced for what your getting location isnt a reason for these prices food waa a bit fatty or oily taste nice but oily.
service was fine but price and food dont add up

A lovely restaurant that I almost accidentally found via Opentable while in the area - I wouldn’t have noticed it from the street or ventured in otherwise. Interesting menu, I felt a a bigger company would have helped to try more dishes, so definitely coming back. Nice service. Cocktails are ok - but then this type of restaurant is not supposed to be about cocktails anyways.

Vegan Options, Gluten Free Options, All Meat Halal. Free range chicken. Alcohol served.

Chotto Matte Marylebone

This was the single best dining experience I have ever had. Each and every dish was of an incredible quality and contained flavours the likes of which I had never even fathomed to be possible.

With the wide array of dishes on offer, along with the impeccable service and incredible ambiance, this is more than just a meal and is truly an experience. It was worth every penny and I hope to return again very soon.

Totally in love with the new Chotto Matte branch in Marylebone. Me and my friends had an amazing experience, the food was beyond our expectations and the service was absolutely spot on! We loved how our waiter Lukas explained the journey behind their new cocktail menu, absolutely a great replacement waiting for Soho refurbishment! Can’t wait to be back.

I'm a big fan of the original restaurant so I was looking forward to trying out this new one.

Service was attentive. Was underwhelmed by the bar area tho for pre dinner drinks.

Food was as good as I expected, some really nice dishes and great flavours.

Personally tho it isn't as good as the Soho one.

Just had lunch in Chotto Marylebone and the only word I can think of to describe it is FABULOUS. Good, service, atmosphere etc etc we’re superb. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I have been a fan of Chotto for years and have been anticipating the launch of Marylebone. I managed to get a table on the opening weekend. The restaurant looks beautiful (it is similar to soho, but with darker colours) we tried a few of the new dishes which we enjoyed, especially the truffle prawn dish. Overall we had a great experience and will be back again.

Our chicken, beef and lamb are all halal. However, please note our Japanese wagyu dishes are not halal.

Ishtar

I came to Ishtar for a birthday dinner with 11 friends and had such a fun celebration. Arriving whilst a man / woman duo musicians singing just set the tone to a wonderful evening.  Our crazy group danced the night away.

I loved it so much that I brought a friend of mine to sample more from their delicious menu. We had hummus served with warm bread with toasted sesame to wet our appetite. My friend loved her goat cheese salad on a bed of rocket salad. I came back specifically for the octopus and it certainly delivered…! My friend loved her mixed grilled with a hot salsa and I chose the grilled poussin served with perfectly grilled vegetables and tasty purple cabbage salad. The crumble to finish was scrumptious. The meal was so good I’d like say a huge thank you to the chefs and kitchen staff. Friends from the previous celebration will be bringing their partners and friends. We really can’t wait to come back.

Amazing experience! A very nice venue and the food and service was exceptional! Loved all the dishes we ordered and the mixed grill meat was tender and tasty cooked to perfection. On top of that there is a really nice bar downstairs with live music. Highly recommended if you are craving for good Turkish food and venue :)

Very pleasing experience! The food was very good and the restaurant is beautifully decorated with a chic atmosphere perfect for a nice lunch, an evening cocktail or a dinner. The service was kind and fast. Highly recommend!

We came here for a celebratory reason and we were thoroughly happy with the overall experience. Bilal, our host, was stellar and really courteous. The food also was outstanding and looked as good as it tasted. The desserts also were perfect for the night. At one point the staff got one of our starter/appetiser wrong but they quickly corrected it when we told them about the error. They gave us the right item and also gave the same dish for free for the trouble caused. Overall we loved the ambience, food and service and will recommend this place anytime.

The food here definitely is lovely just as the staff, a little on the pricier side but a good place for a special occasion. My friend and I were very happy and thankful to the staff who presented her birthday treat with a full song from themselves! Really good service during quieter times and food with flavour

Pelican State Marylebone

i always have the best time at Pelican State! i have been 3 or 4 times and have also had it delivered. never had a problem. I love the king crab leg and the oysters! the menu is big and you get a lot for your money. trust me look at my name x

Lovely place, generous amount of food. Great staff! Snow crabs & prawns are delicious. Sorry for not taking photo but then I rather enjoy my meal 😉

What a great afternoon!! Catching up with old Friends, wearing bibs and getting stuck into some gorgeous seafood. I am still dreaming about the soft shell crab!
Wonderful staff who were attentive without being intrusive. Bless them for looking after an excited bunch who haven’t seen each other since the world went crazy!
WE WILL BE BACK!!

Pelican state, pelican state, pelican state, I would first like to say a massive thank you to all the waitresses and waiters for their amazing work. They were absolutely superb and so well presented. I could tell that they have been trained right. Now let’s get the food!!!. My favourite food was the snow crab boil with cajan sauce. The flavour is amazing. I would definitely recommend. I WILL BE COMING BACK

Had a great dining experience yesterday. One of the servers, Sophie was very helpful and friendly. I’m dropping a star because the wait for food was a bit long but worth it

Pelican State

Homeslice Marylebone

The mushroom truffle pizza is so lush - one of my favourite pizza places now just because of that! The person who served us was also really warm and friendly. Personally I think you could share one pizza between 2-3 people. There's a reasonable amount of outdoor seating, and it's very well covered so good even in British weather. Would recommend and will definitely be returning!

Homeslice is a versatile restaurant option where whether you are very hungry or just slightly hungry is not a big issue, the option of having a 20 inch pizza for a great price or a large pizza slice for an equally great price was a very difficult decision considering I really wasn’t that hungry!

When we arrived we were immediately seated and given some fresh tap water, glasses and cutlery - we were able to decide what we wanted (there was a great choice of pizzas on the menu) and the service was quick and very smooth, our order was taken and we received the food and drinks very quickly! The service was great and after sitting and talking, it felt like a minute had passed before we had our food given to us.

The pizza came out hot, but not too hot which was perfect, the large margherita slice was absolutely delicious, the tomato base was beautiful and the cheese really soft, the pizza was so easy so easy to to eat and we didn’t want it to end, because of this we ordered a cheesy garlic bread pizza, which came out not too long after we ordered it, again cooked perfectly. The cheese was very satisfying as you picked up a piece, it pulled apart completely which is always a nice sight to see on your pizza. We were very happy with our food and drinks, all of this came at a really good price, with great and efficient service, there was absolutely nothing to complain about ; the restaurant being in a nice convenient location with indoor and outdoor seating available: We would love to go again.

This is my FAVOURITE pizza place ever!! The service is amazing and there is a particular waitress called Lucy who is so lovely and welcoming. I always have so much fun when I go to this restaurant because the vibe and the music is always great. The mushroom pizza is divine and their brownie is the icing on the cake !

Great pizza with multiple tasty vegan options 🌱 Only downside is that pizzas will come out one by one so in groups you can't eat at the same time! Very delicious though, especially the mushroom truffle ricotta pizza :-)

Very enjoyable, quick service and a lovely waitress. I would go back certainly! Left feeling happy and full, what more could you want?

Our Wagyu and lamb are both halal, and of course our vegetarian pizzas.

@halalfoodguy's review of XR Marylebone on Instagram

XR London

I had such an amazing dinner tonight at XR. I would suggest this venue for a date night, business lunch/dinner or special occasion. Reminded me of the eateries in Monaco... very high standard in both taste and presentation. A fab menu with just the best dishes and perfect portions to go with cocktails. Definitely going back to try the other dishes very soon! x

Amazing restaurant and great service! Food was delicious and has a great vibe. You get the best of both worlds if your after casual downstairs or a lovely fine dining experience upstairs.

Really enjoyed my experience at XR London, From the moment we walked in we were given 5* treatment! We were taken good care of, the staff were attentive and the food was divine!

Best Truffle dishes in town! Not to mention the Harissa Chicken and XR Lamb Sliders that literally melted in my mouth! Had a splendid time at the iconic XR Brunch, 2.5 Hours of premium Unlimited Moet and Asahi ... what more can you ask for?

Had a fantastic time dining at XR. The warm welcome on arrival set the tone for our experience. The food was great, as was the atmosphere.

Simit Sarayi

Turkey is the same as the flavor. employees are respectful. a spacious and clean place. Thank you!!

Yes very good food and atmosphere but beware of the prices :) they are not cheap but I think it's reasonable as they have good products

Amazing experience at Simit Sarayi. The manager and staff were so friendly and the cookies are something else. A hidden treasure even if it’s a chain.

Not good service and very bad apple and cinnamon cake. Not worthy!

Go to McDonald's or KFC. Food was dry, very expensive for what you get. Only one toilet (Accessible) and was not in a great condition.

Please ask our staff about Halal options.

Locanda Locatelli

Attentive waiter service, delicious food & interesting butterfly pictures.

TERRIBLE SERVICE. Foot was good, terrible Service. Saddest breadbasket ever and a lobster claw was in my pasta. Kept getting ignored by all the waiters basically and had to ask for more break and they’re brought cold bread. I’m a young woman and this is how they treat me at a high end restaurant? Terrible terrible

Food is amazing ( fresh, homemade and tasty) , the service is really good too all the servers are really nice and kind. I highly recommend this place if you like italian food their bread basquet is incredible, I ve gone few times and I’ll definitely go back its one of my favorite spots in town! 💯💯💯

Positive for atmosphere and staff service. staff were “99% italian”. outdoor terrace ruined by cars speeding and ambulances. 
food was well proportioned but not the best in london. worth a visit once.

Fabulous Italian Restaurant! Wonderful food, presented beautifully and tastes amazing. The staff are really welcoming, and know the menu inside out and their recommendations were spot on. A relaxing atmosphere for an afternoon meal with friends. Italian cuisine at its finest!

Head Chef Sergio Fonkana confirms that not only is the Halal meat stored separately, but that the section it is prepared in and the utensils used are always cleaned with soap before being sanitised. The food is cooked separately. And Chef Sergio assures that there’s no risk of cross-contamination.

Trying out the new Nacho Libre Beef Burger from @siirgistabros £9.48 .

Sorry I was too busy stuffing this tasty burger down my gob to take a picture of the menu.. What's in this burger?... 🤔 There's a sweet bun, delicious fatty beef.... and loads of other yummy stuff.. I don't think I've hovered down a burger so fast. .

This place always delivers always has the best burgers around.

@halalfoodguy's review of Siirgista Bros Marylebone on Instagram

Siirgista Bros

Tried this place today! I had the Mexican beef burger, cheese chips and a drink as they were out of the shakes..

The patty of the burger was pretty good but lacked the spicy sauce and the bun was served cold. I would have enjoyed it more if the bun was hot. The cheese chips was really good! My friend had hawaii 50 chicken burger and wedges and was quite disappointed with the burger but wedges were good.

I'd recommend the Mexican burger and if I was to go there again, I'd ask for the bun to be warm.

Service provided by the two staff were good. Its pricey £35 for 2 burger, chips and soft drink.

4/5 

A good solid burger! Only dropped a star as they make you buy chips and a drink separately (which should have a meal option).

On the plus side have a great NHS and Student discount so it is reasonably priced! 

Would recommend!

Really nice burger and staff are super friendly. Halal and would recommend to anyone and visit again.

This place in my opinion is average. Most of the seating is not great. The beef burger is better than the chicken. The chicken Judy needs a bit more love. The fries and olives were good. Price is normal for burger places these days. Service was great and friendly.

Worst customer service ever! On the 1st of July, I decided to try out their food, as I have read good reviews about it. However, I’ve been really disappointed. First of all, the customer service was really poor; while I was waiting for the food to be prepared, the two guys working there were having a really loud conversation in their language and making jokes. I found this behaviour very rude and inappropriate in that moment since i didn't understand what they were saying. Also, I clearly told the guy that was taking my order literally 10 seconds before him cooking it that I didn’t want the onions in some of the burgers, and asked for the sauces to be only on the side. However, they did completely the opposite of what I’ve asked. Secondly, their food was completely bland; the sweet potatoes were burnt, because they have fried them twice! And the beef patties and the steak were so bitter and burnt with a real bad aftertaste. Overall, the food had no taste and, didn’t meet my expectations.
I myself have years of experience in the customer service of restaurants, I can understand that having fun at work is important but with an empty restaurant ignoring the customer requests and having such behaviour was completely unacceptable.

One of the warmest welcomes amongst Indians is to ask if one has eaten. So, oota aita?

OOTY London (Fine Dining Restaurant) & OOTY Station (Indian Street Food & Bar)

That special place where hospitality never ends and the food is from another world. Elegantly beautiful with amazing food for a real taste sensation.

Very reasonably priced for a Michelin-starred restaurant. The flavours were very authentic and you should expect spicy when they say spicy.

Staff reception and service were top notch, everything you`d expect from a top restaurant, except this one doesn't break your bank.

Definitely recommended and on my list of to-go restaurants in London

It’s a good new restaurant - they have a lot
of staff for the opening so hopefully the service stays strong.  The food was good -the crab was delicious.  We tried almost the whole menu and some could use more flavor.  I would go again if I was in the area.  Good plates for sharing.

This place is definitely worth a visit! The restaurant is fine dining with a relaxed feeling. Spacious and comfortable seating. The minute you walk in the hostess was very welcoming and friendly. Now about the food ... I went for a vegan set menu which for a 4 course was very reasonably priced at £35. Every single dish was delicious and presented so well. The portion size was good. My husband went for meat options of the menu and enjoyed it too. Definitely will be returning 😊

What a find !!! Had our anniversary lunch. 
From the start to finish very memorable experiences. Food, service & ambience faultless. Food is wow..! Very well seasoned , balanced & presented . Chefs team has some of the best talents in the city . Mind blowing experience! I am sure soon will be recognized by Michelin..   Thank you for looking after us team OOTY.

All our food is Halal and we only source from Halal Certified vendors.

Reubens Restaurant

This site is my number one restaurant.  Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this place. everytime  I feel like having a superb lunch, this place comes straightaway to my mind. extremely good and   food and a large menu.trained crew, and great spirit. And very important, the pay is good. I recommend this restaurant with pleasure.

they have up the game, from being bought off and going down hill to now have improved to a way better service and menu and its back tasty as one would expect from traditional Ruebens!

/busy in the city cause of work or vacation stay, perfect place to go eat kosher tasty  English Hiemishe food!

price is normal for city and plenty seating upstairs and downstairs at the vip  area

Loved loved loved the salt beef sandwich. Its fully kosher which means perfect for my halal diet.

Like I'm back in New York...

Fresh produce, great service and a real friendly vibe.

This place sure knows how to take care of their clients. Regularly with a nice demeanor. The food is conveniently priced, regularly tasty and neat.

Lebanese wraps in a modern space with pavement tables and patio heaters

Lazeez Lebanese Tapas

Very nice food, hummus is very delicious.

An absolute joke of a business. Manager only likes rich arabs or those who wear obscurely designer clothing or accessories otherwise you will be subjected to a scathing look up and down. £55 for the most basic shisha with limited flavours. £11 for two Red Bulls? We all know London is expensive but this is excessive. Perhaps they are overestimating themselves. Ive never paid that much for two soft drinks at michelin star restaurants such as Kai let alone some small cafe type of establishment that is conveniently located next to Selfridges. Only go here if you are tourist from UAE. Staff will favour you more.

Great food and great central location. Nice space inside and outside.
Friendly and welcoming owner. Nice staff. 
With the lockdown I will continue ordering their food online.

Great food, great service. (Edit: minus one point because 13% service charge was added to bill AND bill was rounded up. It's either/or, not both.)

All meat served is Halal. Alcohol Served.

Lazeez Tapas

Smart setting for Indian small plates & housemade bread plus signature cocktails & Sunday brunch.

This was our second visit to Hankies Restaurant (excluding the Café) and the food was as good as always, but it’s fair to say there was an elephant in the room this time round... We opted for the vegetarian options this time as we were accompanied by our good friends @vegetarian.affairs . The Bhindi Bhel, Kofta and Peshwaari Naan were definitely our favourites, which were full of a variety of flavours- zesty, spicy and sweet! Those three alone were the highlights of the show. The Paneer at Hankies is more soft and cheesy compared to other places- down to preference how you like your paneer (we like it creamy in curry, but spicy as a small plate🌶). We weren’t so keen on the Lassis as they were more rich in yoghurt, however they do offer a blueberry flavour, which is different.

Now down to the elephant in the room- for such a beautiful restaurant, it’s a shame that the service was not up to scratch contrary to our first visit a year ago. The waiter was highly irritating and didn’t give us a second to breathe (like a fly that just doesn’t go away!) To top it off, it was hilarious when he dropped a spoon while serving the dishes as if it was his first time. Not quite the high end service you’re used to 👀😂 All in all, Hankies is a great place for occasions- good settings and decent food (the non-veg options are definitely better). They also allow you to take in a cake free of charge 👍🏽
Food: 7/10
Service: 4/10
Settings: 8.5/10
Overall: 6.5/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Hankies Marble Arch on Instagram

I've got a lot of new followers in the last few weeks, hello. So here's one of my favourite Lamb Chops from one of my favourite places to eat @hankiesmarblearch. A place I've been to nearly 20 times. Happy Monday.

@halalfoodguy's review of Hankies Marble Arch on Instagram

🔴 @hankiesmarblearch 🔴 Located In Marble Arch.
.
It’s been yearssss I haven’t had this solid old skool spot. I’m sure most remember how hankies serve some of the best dishes. I’ve only been to their soho branch. This Marble Arch branch is much better in terms of decor and atmosphere
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Chilli Lamb Chops (£15)
🔳 Mirchi Murgh Chicken (£9.50)
🔳 Mantu (£10.50)
🔳 Butter Chicken (£16)
🔳 Bhuna Keema (£15.50)
🔳 Chicken Pulao (£15)
.
These chops were amazing. I remember how amazing these were but after having it again, damn absolutely amazing. Full on flavour points. The fat parts gave extra juices.
.
Butter chicken was also amazing. One place I don’t have to ask to add spice on butter chicken. Because it comes spicy, also one spot that uses thigh pieces. Just pure buttery smooth heaven
.
Most know I’m a chops and keema curry guys at home. Why don’t Indian restaurants serve keema. I think this and one other place only serve keema. Love keema curry. This keema was really tasty. Probably would’ve wanted a little more bhuna but in terms of spice and flavours, it was spot on
.
Tawa Pulao saffron infused Biryani style, I love my currified Biryani. But I do appreciate simple saffron flavoured Biryani. This with a curry is perfect, not on its own. Chicken mantu is a must try. Chicken Murgh was soft and juicy thigh.
.
All in all good here was on point. However one thing I realised was the portion sizes. This place was known for big portion sizes, and now the sizes were smaller than before. Apart from that, food was on point
.
- Fully Halal Menu
- Alcohol Served In Premises

@halalgems's review of Hankies Marble Arch on Instagram

If you love hearty curries with a touch of refinement, then @hankiesmarblearch is a must visit.

The vibrant colours coupled with the rich flavours are the reason why @hankiesmarblearch has been a go to place for many people after a long day of retail therapy.

We tried the following dishes:
Mantu £10.50
Keema Naan £7.50
Lamb Chop £15.00
Gost 5oz Ribeye £22.00
Butter Chicken £16.00
Tawa Pulao £15.00
Chocolate Gola £8.00 

On this occasion, a couple of dishes could have benefited from some improvement. 

I first tried the Gost Ribeye Steak a few years back and it was stunning, but this time, while the flavours were sublime, it was over cooked for my liking.

The Chocolate Gola dessert looked great, but the flavour profiles were just not to our preference.

However, most of the other dishes were tasty and satisfying. 

The Butter Chicken was divine. 
Mantu dumplings were delicious.
Keema naan was gorgeous.

I'm a big fan of @hankiesmarblearch, so definitely give them a try.
