I ordered curry goat during the lunchtime special hours for a bargain price of £8.95. I thought it was a bold move to not provide a knife in their to-go cutlery set, but it made sense once I opened the box because the goat meat was tender enough to pick apart with a plastic fork. The goat wasn’t very spicy, but was still well seasoned and tasted excellent. The mac n cheese surprised me because of how flavourful it was, and the rice & peas was great too. The service was quick, and the family running the restaurant are really sweet. It’s a large portion for the price. Highly recommended.

I should start with the good. The chicken was amazing I've never had jerk chicken done this way before so 👏🏾👏🏾. Now a few things  disappointed me and my guest. First the menu and prices had been changed(no notice was given on arrival). On the old menu that I saw on a review the jerk chicken meal came with some sides and was £8.95but when we orderd it £10.95 and as you can see in the pick just some  🥬,🥒 and 🍅. The food was warm but what disappointed the most was the attitude of the young waitress. The other staff were lovely but she needs to be trained on customer service!.  The aura she gave off was I don't want to be here, she was polite but did not have any warmth to her at all it was not welcoming. So disappointed won't be going back.

Very warm and welcoming place. Beautiful people and so friendly. The food was really tasty and the service was excellent. Not rushed just chilled, I will definitely be going back there with friends and family.... Remember I'm coming back for that ginger drink!

Went there a month ago. I must say dreadful food. Worst carribean food ever. Honestly don't understand why people are giving good ratings. The price seemed reasonable went in for jerk chicken Sunday special. Was told they didn't have vegetables. Fair enough but once they served the Sunday special they were missing mash, roast potatoes etc.They apologised and said they ran out of vegetables, mash and roast potatoes. I felt rude to decline the food as they've gone through the effort to plate the food. So I ordered chip's and prawns as extra. The prawns tastes fresh and delicious however I would of preferred without shells but that's my personal preference. Now for the main...total disappointment. The jerk chicken was dry and chewy, the mac and a cheese had no flavour. The chip's were also dry and hard. Upon paying the Bill we gave honest feedback about the chicken, Fair enough the manager said they would of not served the chicken like that; they don't usually serve the jerk chicken after 4pm as they cook it earlier. Yet they should of told us this before ordering the food. Would of expected a discount due to  missing vegetables, roast potatoes and mash on the special. Yet they didnt have the courtesy to offer a discount they charged full price even the chip's. The can of coke also cost £3 each. The manager gave the wrong amount of change he was short of 15p but my partner didn't seem to fuss about it but I found it rude atleast acknowledge it and apologise he would of said keep the change anyway. I see where they make they're money. On the other hand I like the waitress she seemed friendly. despite my partner bumping in to her using the gents toilet !

Lovely staff I was there at around 7.30pm yesterday evening. Wanting to get some Nice Curry Goat with Rice  salad, plantains as a taste of home for me old  Jamaican mum .The portions were large,the food was lovely. It did not dissapoint. The staff who took my  order were a lovely young couple. I will be back next month. Cheers Paul the big man in the blue shirt From Hainault/Chigwell👍🤘👌👏

Everything on our menu is vegan or halal.

Patty&Bun - Liverpool Street

Nice place. The atmosphere around me was buzzing, music pumped up- a bit too much for my liking. The chips were very good, the vegan chicken tenders had salt sprinkled on top~ was no need for this, the salt dominated the flavour of the tender and accompanying chilli and lime vegan mayo, which by itself was beautifully balanced.
Maybe the meat options is where it’s at..? Still I think this is a great place to start a good night. Service was great.

Table service and atmosphere were fine, however the food could have been better overall. In particular, the chips/fries with chicken skin salt were not just salty but excessively so i.e. more or less coated with salt; even my partner who adds salt to virtually every meal agreed with me on this, so we find that to be saying something.

It was a passable experience as a convenient bite to eat outside of Liverpool Street station, but we probably wouldn't visit again.

Never disappoints- Lambshank Redemption Burger!!! I will risk a statement - Best Lamb Burger 🍔 I ever had!! The composition is just banging, aubergine, courgettes, feta just a pure explosion of flavors in my mouth 💥 Rosemary chips were great, made from fresh potatoes 🥔 with skin on it huge portion. One thing I was quite disappointed about was pricing, and fact that even though it’s not in their special burger menu set, it didn’t apply to lunch meal deal?! Why? Total with chips & soda £17+ 🙃please include it in your lunch deal.

Very pleasant. Tasty and delightful staff. Once you know what you want they deliver

As my gran would say “When your grandad was auditioning for the job he would take me to a pleasant little intimate restaurant. They had delightful burgers and he got the job because he knew what I liked”

Stopped by for an early dinner on my way from the airport - really good food. Service was very quick but it was also near empty so may differ. Cute decor and cocktail offers available, as well as student discount lunch deals.

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

Mexican flavours and modern influences; serving up tacos, burritos & more

DF Tacos - Shoreditch

One of the best ‘Cheap Eats’ in London. Tasty tacos, quick service and nice staff! Recommend the chicken buttermilk tacos.

Tip: They offer student discount - so don’t forget to ask if you are a student

For a quick bite to eat of some tasty Mexican food whilst exploring the Spitalfields area and beyond, this certainly did the job. You scan that table to order and have a variety of sauces to get to spice up your food to your own taste.

There's an options for some unlimited juices but I had a Modelo, one of a few lagers they serve.

Food was tasty and very filling so maybe don't get too carried away with your order, you can always get more if you're still hungry. Not the best I've had but certainly not the worst

Didn't have to wait that long to be served, food came quite quickly as well. Some of the tacos better than others but overall really tasty and filling. My favourite was cheese&steak tacos, yummy!

Stumbled upon this spot not far from Brick Lane. The tacos were really good and the drinks were good too. I found it a little on the pricier end (70£ for two people) especially as portions were small, but worth checking out at least once

First time eating here and I was completely shocked by how good it is. I had the Steak burrito which is a pretty decent size portion. It comes with rice, beans, slaw, cheese and salsas. Also with tomatillo salsa and pickled cucumber. It's very tasty and if you add some habanero sauce, it makes it even better. I also had some plantain tacos because I was starving and these were incredible. I thought Wahaca had the best plantain tacos in this city but wow, these topped them. They come with slaw, feta, crema and smoky salsa. So good, tasty and generous portion. I'd recommend this place 100% as it's a perfect tex mex place. I paid £17 for these two dishes, so pretty affordable too.

The chicken we use in every DF is now halal-certified! However, we must highlight that we do also sell non-halal menu items in our business, including pork and non-halal beef. The chicken is prepared separately but we would rather customers notify us if cross contamination is a concern so we can be extra vigilant, clean surfaces and change gloves, etc. If you have further questions about this, please reach out to us.

@halalhunt's review of Fat Hippo Shoreditch on Instagram

Fat Hippo Shoreditch

If you're hungry and want value for your money then this is the place to go. All chicken is halal only. The portion is massive so be careful when ordering. Burgers come with 2 chicken fillets and are big in size. Overall nice venue, well spaced out the tables. Food wise can't complain, good chicken. Love the fact that they serve potato tots. The only downside is that the meat burgers look good on the menu but sadly not halal, so I'm hoping soon they manage to become fully halal so I can visit again.

I was super excited to hear about this place opening in shoreditch having heard how much they’re killing it in the north and therefore had high expectations for this place. Unfortunately those expectations were not met 😔.

The chips were not as crispy as I had expected and lacked crunch. Also I was surprised about the small portion serving of chips presented. On to the burgers and it didn’t have that wow factor. Out of the burgers we did order I would recommend the Swiss tony and the last samurai thigh. There signature burger the fat hippo was okay, but not great. We found the patty to be slightly over cooked even though we expected it to medium rare.

We were super gutted to not experience their milkshakes as the machine was broken, but we understand that it is a new opening and that they were bound to have small niggling issues.

Apart from the small teething problems you would have with a new restaurant opening. It was a nice experience but not one where we would be coming back in a hurry.

Paying £14.50 for a beef burger might be expensive, considering a fully loaded Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) burger will set you back £12.60 and a Five Guys burger will cost you £8.95. However, Fat Hippo is not your average burger. I ordered the Hokus Porkus and it did not dissapoint. Every bite was juicy, crunchy and messy. The beef patty and American cheese is paired up with pork scratchings, jalapeno peppers, black pudding, kiev mayo and bacon crumbs. The burgers also come with an individual serving of fries with cajun seasoning.

The menu features eight beef burgers, five vegan burgers and five chicken burgers to choose from. The drinks menu focuses heavily on beers (although there are no draft beers). There is also an indulgent dessert menu (starting at £6) that headlines with a black vanilla soft serve, blended from almonds + cashews that is only available in this Shoreditch location. Give the "This is America" dessert a try - black vanilla soft serve ice cream, peanut butter and jam.

The service delivers the Northern warmth and cheekyness you expect given Fat Hippo was born in Newcastle upon Tyne. The interior is large, accomodating 108 covers. Ask to be seated on booths next to the window - comfy and offer a great view. The only two areas for improvement to complement the sixteen sauces in offer (£1 each) are the fries and non alchoolic drinks. The fries could be a bit cruchier. The non alcoholic drink options should be more varied than soda. If you are after a dirty, indulgent, fully loaded burger, Fat Hippo is your spot.

A bit small portion for that price, but very tasty burger. Nice and competent service. Not bad house beer. Unfortunately there's no draft beer available. Generally nice places. I'll be definitely back soon.

My mates and I decided to check this place out today! We left full and happy, certainly not disappointed.
The food took a bit longer to arrive but it was worth the wait! Burgers were big and juicy, really nicely flavoured. We upgraded our chips to dirty tots! WOW - loads of mini hash browns  with bacon and yummy sauce.
Staff were all welcoming and smiley! We’ll be back soon!

All of the chicken we use across all of our restaurants and concessions is certified halal. However, none of our beef products used at any locations are certified halal.

Taco Taco

Went for the Prime Beef Corn (gluten free) Taco which was fresh and delicious. The fillings were amazing and the ambience in the place was cool. I’m Gluten free and they had so many options for me on their menu. 100% recommend.

Had the salmon and prawn tacos. Super tasty. With the side of crispy corn. Properly one of the best tacos I’ve had! Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Seriously delicious, fresh, fast, friendly and Knowledgeable staff happy to recommend but not pushy at all. Clean and fun!

The tacos were extremely good!!! So tasty and the place is really cute. I will absolutely repeat!

This is a new Taco restaurant in the heart of East London. Premises opened on 15/09/2023. My visit was on 18/09/23

To get to this restaurant, you’re looking at a 11-13 mins walk from Liverpool Street Station. Overground, Central Line, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Circle & District Lines (Underground Tube)

Firstly, I like to start off by saying that Michael and his brother, were very, very hospitable and a very warm, excellent customer service from the outset.

Okay, so what was purchased.

Peruvian Chicken, Mayan Veggie Bites, Salmon Poke, Mayan Veggie Bites, Corn Elote Salad

Was kindly given a few freebies; Albajores

I’m going to be brutally honest about each Taco flavour and to manage expectations, don’t expect an authentic Mexican Taqueria (lugar de tacos)

Peruvian Chicken - very dry and no seasoning on the pulled chicken. Have suggested to do a Birria style pull chicken

Prawn Star - no citrus balance and most definitely no Smokey prawns. Think naked prawn cocktail.

Mayan Veggie Bites - this was the sleeper hit Taco for me. However, the only criticism i have is the flavours are not Mayan related, more Asian theme. So have suggested to what ingredients that the Mayan ancient civilisation did use; i.e. Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, etc.

Salmon Poke - I’d customised mine and made it slightly better. The salmon has no soy sauce marination or citrus tone. A vital  ingredient to use for salty, acidity tones to the profile of the taco. Have suggested to use Ponzu sauce marination for the Salmon.

Corn Elote Salad - regrettably this needs an overhaul for its recipe. It was to me just corn in mayonnaise with a sprinkling of seasoning which doesn’t assist the corn whatsoever. This side was very weak.

Albajores (Freebie) - lack of filling and very, very dry when consumed. It zaps away any moisture you have in your mouth.

Beverage selection was okay. Had a raspberry lemonade. This is branded and not in house made.

They have a disabled toilet.

Parking will be somewhat difficult to find.

They will be opening a second location in Covent Garden.

An interesting concept but still requires some tweaks here and there on their food menu. Don’t know how many food tasting samples they had prior to launch?

Authentic, traditional street food of India

Indi-go Rasoi Spitalfields

Decent spot for lunch. More on the pricier side out of the spitalfields foods.

The chicken and curry was delicious. Very tender and well cooked chicken. Curry sauce was well spiced. Not too salty and not insanely hot. Great for universal taste. I expected more from the pilau rice. I’m no pilau rice expert but have tried enough a few to determine it missed something. Maybe a hint of another spice or a garnish.

Service was also friendly and people were very helpful.

The menu might have been a bit confusing but might just be me being very unaware of the foods.

Worth a try if you love trying all south Asian foods in town.

I travel and lived several years in Pakistan, and tandoori dishes was always a unique dinning experience over for me. I can say without any doubts that the tandoori chicken that I had here, brought me back to my unforgettable time in Lahore! Was amazing, thank you so much for this, was a present for me and my wife.

The Chicken Briyani is not bad here. Nothing extraordinary, but it certainly does not taste bad. We ordered the spicy fries, which I would rate slightly above average. Ignore the soup dumplings in the photo; they were purchased from Dumpling Shack.

I ate the half tandoori chicken.
I got a lot of chickenmeat and a lot of rice.
I loved it! I'm lucky to have found a place to sit within the market itself, in which this foodplace is situated.
The staff was very friendly, kind, helpfull and fast.
I definitely recommend this place!

Delicious Masala Dosa and Mango Lassi!! Fantastic group lunch in Spitalfields, Shoreditch. Great commitment to sustainability as well - they have joined junee so you can get your lunch in a reusable bowl! Definitely recommend on all levels.

All meat on our menu is Halal. No pork or alcohol served.

Ordered a burger and prawns, and I was provided with a long range alert system to notify me when my food was ready. After about 25 minutes I figured something was up and went back and saw 3 staff standing around doing nothing. So I inquired how long it would be.... she looked at my buzzer and said oh we didn't know you had an order in. The person who took my order wasn't here anymore. Dude with a nose ring. Anyways make sure they place your order when your order, I don't think they're very competent.

Waited for my curry for 50 (yes, fifty!) minutes - turned out that their printer didn't print my order out. I was waiting in front of the coutner and the employee seemed to forget that I ordered something instantly after putting the order in. Once I reminded them about the order, it was ready in approximately 5 minutes.

Food was good, just not worth the wait. If you wait for 10+ minutes for your food, go check with them to make sure they are actually preparing it - the employee mentioned that this kind of printing errors happen daily(!).

Food is good. I used to really enjoy ordering from there. But lately the woman at the till is probably the rudest cashier I’ve encountered. Makes you feel bad for asking a question about the menu. One word answers. Won’t be going back

Food is great, but I'll only come here if I want to be treated lik excrement. Lady with long dark hair apparently doesn't want my money or cares that she might kill me with gluten. Winner.

Ordered chicken katsu curry - sauce was odd and pretty flavourless. Rice was overcooked and soft. Pretty weird basic things to mess up. also the chicken piece was small and underwhelming.

Our chicken is Halal. We serve pork and alcohol from the same kitchen.

Authentic Burmese in the trendy Shoreditch area

Lahpet Shoreditch

I was curious to try Burmese food for the first time, the restaurant was nicely spaced out and had a modern feel. Seated by the bar you could also see some of the chefs in the kitchen.

The dishes were new to me and came with nice textures, freshness and overall great presentation. I didn’t enjoy the flavours or taste as much, too subtle for me and would have preferred more spice.

The salad was the standout dish, so fun to eat with good crunch, levels to the dish that will intrigue your palate.

Service was nice, mostly attentive and welcoming. Although I probably wouldn’t visit again I’d still suggest giving it a go. 🇲🇲

We wanted to try somewhere new and different and Burmese food sounded exciting. The staff were friendly and welcoming and attentive. We wanted a booth in the window but it was booked and was offered an alternative that suited. The restaurant was relatively quiet and we asked for help with choosing which was given by the friendly waitress. The food looked different and exciting to try when it arrived. The textures, colours and overall visual experience promised a culinary treat but the flavour was a bit lacking in parts. The salad bowl was the tastiest and overall the food was well presented and reasonable, just not wow. Would still recommend it for a lunch date or group outing.

I always wanted to come to this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint me! It was delicious every dish was unique, tasty and well presented! Service was friendly and helpful! The only thing I would say to work In the sitting as I had to wait for my table when there were other tables empty. Apart from that everything was great!

I ordered the following dishes
- it is a side. I can’t remember the name but it is a small plate with dried shrimp and chilli flake. It is perfect to go with rice and noodle.
- the best must be the tea leaves salad. I personally love crunchy things and the flavour is so rich. Kind of mixing lot of flavour but not to much. Must try it.
- the pork belly is so crispy, it comes with generous portion of delicious coconut rice
- ceviche is refreshing, may be a bit too sour for me

This is my first time trying our Burmese food and i am glad i had a pleasant experience. The services was very good. The lady was very friendly with lovely smell.

Vividly recommended.
I have been having dinner twice in this awesome restaurant .
It is such a cozy beautiful venue with such a marvellous Burmese food selection to choose from!
And the service is also excellent!
I will be going back very soon for more foodie’s paradise nights.
Burmese food is truly unique. A must-try!

Our chicken is halal. We only have one pork dish on the menu.

Grilled chicken marinated with South American inspiration

Assenheims 56

Excited to try this place after hearing good review but I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Look how pink the chicken is, how is this acceptable for a place that’s so popular??

Service was great and quick. The chicken tasted delicious but they we’re out of grilled vegetables so I asked for two helpings of salad. For £9.95 I expected a decent and nice salad, I ended up with just lettuce. Although the food tasted nice I don’t think it was good value for money so I probably wouldn’t visit again. I can get a bag of lettuce for a £1 in Tesco

No longer as good as it used to be since they moved to London wall (east cheap branch is way better if you want to visit a location). I’ve visited this branch 3 times in the last year hoping they would impress me but it’s just the green sauce they’re living of. The veg/chicken were cold.

The chicken is tasty, the rice, potatos, veg and salad is average, but the chicken is the main star of the meal. I like the green sauce and hot sauce on top. All in all its a great lunchtime option. My only real negative is that it's a bit pricy at £10.

The food is fresh and the home-made sauce is very tasty. Although I doubt there is any difference between normal and large portion. Some people in the queue also complained about the same thing. Just order the normal portion.

Chicken is Halal and HFA certified. Pork is served but prepared and handled separately to prevent cross-contamination.

Hand-made udon kitchen popular in the United States

Have you checked out the Japanese Udon Kitchen @marugameuk yet?!

There are currently 4 London locations: Canary Warf, Liverpool St, The 02 & St. Christopher’s place… soon to be 7 in total by Summer 2022 😍 

We went for the salmon teriyaki bowl, the chicken katsu curry & a selection of the tempura 🥟 Everything was delicious and served in very generous portions 🤤 There’s even a self serve condiment station to meet all of your pickled ginger & red chilli needs 🌶 

Please note that all of the chicken is حلال and 30% of the menu is vegan friendly 🌱 

Highly recommend for a catch up w/ friends over some hearty food that doesn’t break the bank 🤩

@halalfoodbae's review of Marugame Udon Spitalfields on Instagram

Marugame Udon

If you are up this way, this place is certainly worth a stop.  Right in the heart of the City of London, you can get an excellent Chicken and Sticky Rice meal for under 7 Pounds.   They even offer you a glass for all the water you can drink.  Food is attractively laid out, tasty and the staff and wonderful.  Its become  my new favourite place to eat in London!

FANTASTIC PRICES and GREAT FOOD. Just like they have it in Japan. Probably the best value quality food you can get in London and some of the most authentic udon as well. Can’t recommend enough. Also has this little unlimited refill bar with water, spring onions, ginger etc.

Tried rice with slices of chicken as well as gyoza with vegetables and fried chicken. Tasted good, so I have eaten the whole portion, but nothing special at the same time :) Seems to be a good food.
Worth mentioning great interior, nice lighting and quick service. Lots of space to seat-in🪑Unlimited soda refill🥤

Second time I've been here and never have I been disappointed, the restaurant is clean, bright and fresh. I can't remember the name of the dish I had, but it has 2 pork slices, a light spicy pork mincemeat, a egg and slices of spring onions and udon noodles. The staff are great and friendly. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves noodles.

Tried the infamous Udon Place. We waited about 10 minutes but you get a tray and order your food choice. It was really good and it’s a lot cheaper than most places! The only disappointing thing is the battered chicken (it was cold) but everything else was good for a quick brunch! Would visit again for the Udon!

P.s. My brother ordered large and it was too large.

All our chicken is from a Halal supplier. However, whilst products are prepared separately due to our open kitchen and fresh prep we cannot guarantee there is no risk of cross contamination within our kitchens. Please also note that all fried meat and seafood are fried in the same fryer. We have a separate fryer for vegan products.

Please also note mirin and soy sauce are used in a number of our dishes which contain alcohol.

Band of Burgers, Brick Lane

The food is absolutely delicious and the service is wonderful. We’ve only been in London a few days and have eaten at the brick lane establishment twice. The burgers are amazing, the pizza is delicious, and the sushi is fantastic! It’s a great halal restaurant that serves all. The service is quick and always comes with a smile. The absolute BEST restaurant!!

Band of Burgers on Brick Lane is by far my favorite gourmet burger in London! It serves a wide variety of food which ranges from  burgers, pizza, sushi that are all delicious and original. The customer service was great. Great atmosphere with great music.. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really want this to be thee ultimate burger place for me as I've heard very good things about BOB, however after ordering the "Wagyu this way" burger I wasn't super impressed, even though the juiciness was there, it lacked flavour and that was disappointing, my husband had the Elvis burger which he said was average and a little salt on the patty wouldn't go amiss. The meal Portions are a very good size though. Kids loved the chicken nuggets (not your average frozen nuggets) and sweet treats! That was a nice touch. I think I will give this place another try as I believe they have potential, we ordered online for delivery but would like the experience of dining in. Hopefully I'll update this review once we've tried it again.

I loved the food here. It was absolutely one of the nicest burgers I have had. The fries were amazing for fresh cut fries. The services can be a little slow but definitely worth it.

Went in for the Sushi bar which i did not know was not part of BOB, as kids were hungry I just ordered in at BOB. The food was very fresh and the portions were big. Went in after  lunchtime on a Sunday and it was not that busy.

Maui Poke | Spitalfields

I got the lunch from mealpal. They offer brown rice and it was quite heathy in general. Portion was ok. Tasty salmon and mango rice.

Fresh and tasty Poke. Only gave 4 starts as portion size was a tad smaller than Island Poke

Good choice for a take away lunch! Healthy and tasty. You can make your own bowl.

I have ordered from this place a few times now - enough to have a decent opinion about it - and to be honest, I would not recommend it.
The food is decent but the portions are tiny especially for the price you pay. I just received my usual "build your own bowl" order today and it was literally half the normal portion.
One of the main problems we have with this shop is they always manage to get our orders wrong. A few of times, our order was delayed but the worst time was when our order was two hours late and 4 orders out of the 6 were totally wrong.
Given that they always seem to be understaffed during lunchtime, I find this shop to be more of hassle than anything else.

Food is so fresh and delicious, there is nothing like it nearby. Very reasonably priced! The service is fast so you can get on with your lunch break. Wasabi Mayo to dress your Poke is amazing! Well worth the 20 minute walk from the office. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves sushi

The beef gyudon we have in stock at our red lion branch is not halal. But the chicken in all our stores is Halal.

Maui Poke

Award-winning Indian restaurant since 1974

Sheba Restaurant - Awarded Best Curry House In UK

I felt in love Indian foods in London. My mom, son, and I are from U.S. and had never tasted better Indian foods before. The portions were generous, and the presentation was great. All items that we ordered were awesome, and we finished them all. The hospitality was welcoming and the service was great. The price was even better that I spent only $58 for 4 orders. If I ordered the same menu items in US, it would be more than $120 plus 18% tips. I strongly recommend this place and definitely come back when I visit London soon.

Quite a nice Indian restaurant around brick lane area. The sizzling meat grill is always a great one to try and has lots of flavours in them. The curry was flavourful. Really salute the restaurant for having a full blast air con turned on during summer period. Really cooling when having Indian food in a hot summer lunch time in London.

Booked a table at Sheba came with my family loved the atmosphere there. The waiters were very attentive and helpful loved the food full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The Bengal Lamb Shank was cooked to perfection very soft and tender it literally peeled off the bone. I would recommend this place to everyone definitely returning back
Thanks Sheba

The pictures don't do justice, the food was very authentic, what a lovely gem in brick lane! We came here with a sleeping baby in the pram, and instantly space was made for us!
The speed of the food was good, the service was friendly, and the taste was great! We got lamb bhuna and chicken xacuti  - with a few starters and we didn't regret our choice! I would definately come back! It's been the best Indian we've had in 4 years in London!

The food is so good. It really deserves it's great reviews. The place is small but so busy. The staff are so nice as well. You really need do to reserve a table as there were queues of people waiting to get in

The Munch

Absolutely amazing food! We ate in( there is a small eating area upstairs) so do not think it's takeaway only! The meat was amazing  quality tasting,great dips and sauces  and brilliant customer service! Highly recommend!

Coming from America, I usually don’t have access to Turkish food, so I was hesitant to try this place. However, I am very happy that I came here! This food was incredible! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the rice was almost buttery. Definitely would recommend coming here.

We were in the area looking for a Halal restaurant to eat at and stumbled across The Munch. As soon as we walked in, all of the staff warmly greeted us. The interior was clean and inviting whilst the food on display looked great.

At first, we thought it was primarily take away. However, we soon realised there was proper seating upstairs and opted to dine-in.

The food was truly amazing. Fresh, high quality and a very generous portion that filled all 3 of us. We opted for the Munch Platter which is highly recommended!

Hospitality and service was also top level. Despite being a small restaurant, our server took the time to check-in on us multiple times. Also, we were again warmly greeted on our way out.

May Allah SWT reward the brothers for their hard work and efforts and grant you much more success. Jazak’Allahu Khairun.

The food was delicious, the price is good and Vani was the most gentle person ever!

Amazing place to eat.. would recommend eating it as the food is amazing and the staff are great!! Best Turkish food I have had since coming back from Turkey...would 100% recommend and would give this place more than 5 stars if I could!!!

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.

Good looking store although one of the windows was broken. The interior is very Shoreditch cool, upbeat and quick queue system setup. Some seating in here as well as Instagramable swings. I'd recommend going for the bowls rather than the bao buns as I was expecting the bao buns to be hot.

Otherwise the food is tasty enough.

Now doing halal chicken aaand beef so you've got options if you adhere to that diet. Not the soy sauce isn't halal.

I ordered a build it salmon poke bowl with extra salmon and all the trimming. It came to a total of £15.85 so expected a decent meal. The meal was made nicely and staff was friendly and polite. I didn’t have to wait very long at all as I was the only customer. The only complaint I have is the freshness of the salmon. I love salmon which was why I paid £4.50 extra for an extra serving of it. But the salmon that came with my poke bowl was tasteless and only tasted of refrigeration. There was no smooth or rich taste of the salmon fish as expected due to its fatty content. I would have expected this from a poke restaurant selling fresh ingredients day in day out. Either the fish was of extremely low quality or it has been in the fridge for too long. Extremely disappointed. I had to take out the fish and throw it out as it tasted of nothing.

Generally pretty good and super quick. A £10 for a bowl. It's pretty ok for Uber Eats, but a bit much for lunch bite. Particularly considering the amount of salmon seems to have been slowly decreasing overtime. I also generally find there is a lack of dressing, which I can't fix when it's delivered. The salmon be a little hit and miss, I sometimes find it's excessively fatty and have to just remove it. Overall, the portion just sends a tiny bit small. It's not quite filling enough.

The entire team served with exceptional speed whilst still having interaction with their customers (which definitely is appreciated!)
A nice lady named Jay in particular, provided me with some kind words, after a stressful start in the office. It might not be much to her but the lil deed echoed through my day boosted mood :).
Now been coming every day for lunch 😂 (as seen in my picture)

Brand New Poke Bao in London

I tried the brand new Poke Bao @islandpokeuk with @whatsclairecraving in Shoreditch.

WHAT WE GOT
🐔Korean BBQ Chicken Bao
🐟Yuzu Salmon Bao

The Bao was soft and fluffy. Korean BBQ chicken came with miso chicken and kimchi. It’s spicy and hot🔥🔥🔥Yuzu Salmon served with wakame and topped with wasabi mayo. It’s refreshing and flavourful 😋😋😋

New Street Grill

Amazing experience! The food was delicious!
Fresh, great flavour, great portions! My husband and I enjoyed the night. The wine recommended was great, the starters were delicious, the burger had great size, the Chateubriand was delicious with bone marrow, truffle chips and creamed spinach were amazing.

We also had the prawns, perfectly grilled juicy!
Dessert was really nice balanced! The apple crumble with blackberry was a great idea!

We will definitely go back for more!

On arrival our coats were taken and we were led to a nice booth which we were pleased with, the first thing we were told however was that the a la carte menu was not on offer, on the website we had checked out the NYE menu and would have preffered the a la carte for the steak options... (online it said you could choose)
Service was long. Like 3 hours for 2 set menus long.
At first I appreciated the time as we were eating and chatting and relaxing but eventually the wait times got exhausting and we didn't want to be sat there waiting any longer.
Overall I would say a set menu like the one we had probably didn't justify £85 a head. And we would have happily spent more than that on a really good steak experience. Little bit disappointed but I think they probably know as an experiment it didn't work, no kitchen wants such delays at finishing a cover.

Had a very nice meal here, unfortunately when we went early on a Saturday evening it was full of shouting, overly noisey hen parties, the staff were very nice and moved us to a quieter table away from the noisey prosecco filled females. Best to go during the week as you get the office staff from surrounding area and not so noisey. Staff very friendly and efficient, food was excellent. I would recommend eating here. And sorry to moan about the hens, but they were noisey.

The whole experience beginning to end was amazing. Zain was especially attentive and loved the background history John shared of the building. I would definitely being going again.

We had a reeealy delicious meal with absolutely excellent wine.
The waiter were kind and helpfull and very charming.
Definetaly not our last visit!

Halal beef available with 72 hour notice. 

Yum Bun - Spitalfields Market

Ordered pork bun and chicken bun, very tasty! True Asian fusion :) the pork bun is bit similar to the Beijing duck approach. 9.5 pounds for 2 bun. Not too many choices but good enough for workday lunch. Only downside was the queue was too long during workday, had to wait 20+ min.

I do like this place, everybody loves the fluffy bao and this didn't dissapoint, had the bun box where you can mix n match 2 types of bun, comes with vege gyoza and a tasty slaw. I went for 1 fish, 1 pork...they were both really tasty pork won on flavour and those 2 were actually enough for lunch, quite filling..not soggy at all which can happen. Loved the variety and a deal, will be back!

So yummy! Got the pork bao & chicken bao. Tasted delicious, good value for money in my opinion, as I got the set of 2 (which I think cost £9.50? before discount) they also had a 15% NHS discount which was great! Love it and would definitely have it again.

Pork bun is really tasty. The soft bun coupled with savoury pork with hoisin sauce makes this petite bite a lethal combo. Also recommended to try the hot plum punch especially for cold weather.

Absolutely delicious mushroom bun! I thought I’d give the vegetarian bun a try and was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful and filling it was.

PocketSquare Skyline Bar & Terrace

Very friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. The bar food is good. The view from there is amazing.
The only thing I would spot is that we reserved a table outside because they guaranteed there would be blankets available. When we asked for a blanket they said they did not have any available.
Luckily, it was not Crowded and we could move to a table inside.

Anyway, I would definitely recommend this bar and for sure I would be back. Lovely experience.

Beautiful cocktails, wonderful atmosphere, great staff and very talented bar crew that knows how to make your evening truly special! Definitely recommend this place for a cool weekend vibe as much as during the week - to enjoy a nice DJ set and have a superb quality of drink and the view!

Incredible cocktails and my new favourite view of the London skyline!

The food at the bar isn’t halal. However, you can able to pre order ahead of their booking and we can arrange it. A week's notice is sufficient.

Honest Burgers Liverpool Street

Lunch for 4 people - service was fantastic, speedy and delicious food. 1x plant burger = very happy vegan, 3x local burger = one of the best we've had at an honest burger! Dangerous to have it so close to the office...

The menu is nice and simple. Food is really tasty, and the onion rings are huge. I totally recommend it.

Great burgers and chips. There's a lot of space is very a chill atmosphere. Great place to work out of the office while having a meal.

When I woke up that fateful tuesday, I thought that the day would hold little more than the usual crowded monotony which one always expects in the concrete jungle of the city. Everything changed when I found myself wandering into honest burger after a hard day of reading figures. I do not hasten to use the hallowed term 'divine' in describing earthly pleasures, but surely in the case of this location and the burger experience it offers such extreme praise is warranted.

I give the restaurant a 5 outta 5 as they have one of the best burgers in London, absolutely outstanding, delicious, indulging, comforting and flavourful.
The staff were all friendly and smiling. A special thanks to our waitress Benedetta, who made our expiration really special!
High energy atmosphere and really good music playlist too. Will definitely be back!

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.

@londonfoodee's review of Honest Burgers Spitalfields on Instagram

Honest Burgers Spitalfields

The staff were polite, quick and efficient. The food and drinks arrived quickly and were freshly prepared. The burger and fries portion was big and very good value. I would recommend this place for a quick burger and fries.

Busy place, very fast paced. Delicious burgers, wasn't impressed with onion rings they were very oily. The best highlight was mint lemonade - the best lemonade I had.

This was an excellent honest experience. An extremely competent hostess, spacious and lovely inside and the best chips we've had at an honest burger this side of 2019. Delicious!

It's hard not to beat Honest, Honest is always fantastic and fills you up for sure. The only downside I'd say upon meeting was the service which wasn't fantastic. The staff upon a Sunday  wasn't great and had to urge the staff to serve us. Improving them would be great

Lovely evening, great atmosphere, really attentive and prompt service by everyone - especially Chelsea. Meal served exactly as ordered, arrived in good time, really nice flavours.perfect! (Apparently the bottled lager was excellent too!!) - thank you 😊

KoKoDoo - Korean Fried Chicken (Shoreditch)

I had just stopped outside and was looking at the menu through the window, an employee came out to speak to us and told us about the food they served. The food was amazing, great portion sizes and reasonably priced.

Would highly recommend

Super takeaway lunch spot. Sweet n sour chicken with rice 👌 the wraps are good but small for the price, the other options are better value. Burger was great but could use a sauce for the chips .

amazing food & menu as accurate representation of what you order. very great customer service

Being a regular for years - it's truly heartbreaking to see the quality of food and portion sizes go down so much. Difference between regular and a large is quite a bit in price, yet a large gives you 90% rice and 10% chicken as it seems. Never thought I'll say this about this brand but PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THEM! Look at this! £10.95 for few pieces of chicken and huge portion of rice 🙃.

Amazing spot for some quality Korean fried chicken. I’m not too big into spice but the sticky soy and honey flavours are 10/10. The lady at the till is super friendly too. One of my colleagues are vegetarian and recommended their cauliflower dishes too if you are vegetarian.

@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.

BoB Burgers | Shoreditch

This is one hell of a burger! If you are on your search for honestly one of the best burgers in London, then look no further!! The best quality meat that you can find on the market today, paired with some amazing grilled AND pickled onions, american cheese and house made burger sauce what more could you ask for?! Will be back again very soon

Great burgers. It's in LaLaLand which is only partially open at lunchtime through the winter. Staff are really friends. The cheeseburger is excellent, the spicy fries are tasty and the Szechuan pepper on them is lip numbing.

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had!! Amazing quality ingredients, super tasty and a great spot to hang out!! Love the branding too!

Incredible burger and the Szechuan fries are insane. Double up on the burger and make sure to get the honey chilli sauce for the best experience. We’ll be back again (and again, and again)

More a 4.5... Really good juicy burger. The meat itself was a little on the bland side for my taste and could have maybe used a slightly larger bun for the filling that kept pouring out.
Got on £5 burger Thursday deal in January and so was excellent value. Though £14 for a double without chips is just a little too pricy.
Still that's becoming the top end of standard now so if you don't mind that, then you could do far far worse than going here for a bite.

Circle & Slice

best pizza (and pizza dough) I've ever had, and amazing pasta! super friendly (and Italian) staff. we shared a pasta plate and a pizza deal including 2 slices, a salad and a drink between two people for 16 pounds in total. 100% recommended!

A nice place to get a pizza, especially if you're vegetarian. I was really impressed by options available. Normally, I'd be lucky to get 2 vegetarian options, but Pixxa has five. I especially like the potato & rosemary as it's unusually, but imaginative choice for pizza topping and the aroma of the rosemary is just fantastic.

My only complaint is that the place is a little priced for what you get, £2.50 for a slice of pizza is a bit much, especially has it wouldn't really be a lunch meal.

The staff are friendly and efficient and are right there to get your order and pay.

The ingredients used are of good quality. I rarely have pizza. And having tasted their fabulous pizza with tuna and anchovies I am now fighting the urge to become a regular customer. Those living/working/passing by the neighbourhood, give this spot a try. You won't regret it. The owner Smil and waitress Angie are welcoming, friendly and warm. Speedy service delivered with a smile. And of course, mouth-wateringly delicious pizza!

I love this place. Convenient and really delicious pizza. Pear juice is lovely and chilli flakes for those who like heat!

Everything on our menu is Halal. No pork or alcohol is served.
