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 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.

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.

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👍🤘👌👏

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.

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

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!

So ... what made me give you 3 stars is following  ... I came to you at the weekend to have a pizza. I was there at 11:22I called before to ask if it is possible to eat in the Restaurant. The answer was yes,we have open until 12 pm.Once I arrived there the guy told me that it is not possible to eat in the Restaurant.So I was needed to eat my Pizza on the street,whitch is not nice....The pizza itself was ok for the price but nearly not perfect or very tasty...I prefer to pay a little more and eat something very tasty. But that's just MY PERSONAL opinion. All in all, the service and the pizza.... 3 stars from me, which means ok. 5 would be perfect, it couldn't be better,4 would be great, which it wasn't when I consider the service and the pizza ...Kind Regards.
Ps: I would definitely come back at a late time if I would need a Pizza and would be in this area.

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

Yuriko

I often take my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the cooking is fantastic and the team is efficient and cooperative. Whenever we visit this place we have a gorgeous time.  warmly recommended.

Yuriko has become one of my favourite places to order from.
I highly recommend it, their beef bibimbap is delicious!

One of the best restaurant I have ever went. Very underrated but the food quality is amazing! Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for sushi and ramen/udon

Regular customer here. Good food, reasonable price and nice staff. Highly recomended

Yuriko is my trusted sushi restaurant when I order on UberEats. Fish is super fresh and dishes are all delicious

KFC Whitechapel - High Street

Quick service. The Inferno chicken bites are decent. I got the most spicy flavour which is peri Inferno bites. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Really nice staff, specially the Team Leader, Imraan. They have a really friendly customer service and they give attention to detail! Amazing for a busy hub to be honest...

Under cooked and hastily thrown together. Probably because the staffing seems to be one quality member of staff (she was fine) surrounded by a troupe of useless trainees.

She was basically running the place on her own.

Worst KFC in the country. Their chicken is either burnt or too salty.
Stuff are terrible too, they don't listen to you nd sometimes too busy arguing or singing by themselves.

Order £20 bucket . Had 3 pieces of chicken missing and fries were half full .

Local chicken shops does better food and portion . DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE .

IF YOU ORDER THEN YOU WILL NOTICE THE TASTE AND QUALITY OF THEIR FOOD 🤢

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.

Introducing the new Nashville Range from Chico’s. This Nashville burger will defo give competition to the smash burger. I’ve tried Nashville only two other places. So I do have a little gist of an enjoyable Nashville burger. Also made my own Nashville Dirty Fries, ask them or show them the video, if they can make it for you. 
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Nashville Chicken Burger (£9)
🔳 Nashville Wings (£5-7)
🔳 Nashville Loaded Fries (Off The Menu)
🔳 Smash Burger (£8.50)
🔳 Chicken Loaded Fries (£5)
.
The Nashville chicken burger comes with an amazing thigh piece. It was super juicy and moist. Cooked to perfection. The Nashville sauce was perfection. It was the perfect heat. Not overly spicy but a nice warmth on the tongue. It was just perfect. Defo would rate this as a top top top chicken burger. Honestly must try 
.
The Nashville wings again perfect. The out batter remained crispy even after the Nashville oil and powder spices. 
.
Nashville loaded fries which is off the menu and I told them to make this for me. And it was banging. It will give competition to my previous favourite loaded fries that they sell. Show them the video and ask them for that loaded fries lol 
.
All in all must try this Nashville range. I’m sure I don’t need to talk about the smash burger and other dishes as they already legendary. Hurry and try the Nashville range

The flavours of Tennessee, U.S.A, has come to Brick Lane, with @chicos_london launching their Nashville range.

If you love the taste of spicy poultry with a savoury burn, then you have to give @chicos_london's new menu a try. 

Succulent, moist chicken with a blend of well balanced spicy seasoning, really ignites your taste buds.

San Sebastian Cheesecake is all the rage at the moment. This is a gorgeous dessert and @chicos_london definitely is serving a good quality pudding. Even if you're not a fan of burgers, you definitely should try out the San Sebastian.

We tried the following dishes.

Smashin Prawns £8.00
Loaded Nachos £9.50
Nashville Hot Wings £6.00
The Nashville Meal £11.50
Legendary Chico's Smash Burgers £11.00
San Sebastian Cheesecake £6.00
Brownie & Ice Cream £5.50 

Get your cowboy boots on and indulge in some wonderful comfort food.

@halal_chronicles's review of Chico’s on Instagram

Chicos

I recently visited Chicos, a smash burger restaurant, and I was really impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities. The restaurant was spotless, which is always a plus in my book.

In addition to the clean facilities, I was also impressed with the size of the menu. There was a wide variety of options to choose from, including a halal menu, which was great for those who are looking for halal options.

I decided to try the Nashville chicken wings, and they did not disappoint. They were spicy, tender, and well flavored. The chicken nuggets and chips were also a hit, particularly with my little one, who enjoyed them thoroughly.

But the real star of the show was the smash burger. It was always excellent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious burger.

Overall, I had a great experience at Chicos. The clean facilities, large menu, and tasty food all contributed to a fantastic dining experience. If you're in the mood for a smash burger, I would definitely recommend checking out Chicos.

Service was really good, friendly staff...deco is really nice.

Food was on point.. Waiting time wasn't so bad.

Burger was a tasty and a proper burger.. Not like some of the other takeaways... Selling cheap burgers. And price is reasonable.

Keep up the good work guys, don't let us know. Will be back if the food stays the same!

Consistently great food now, been here 8 times and the smash burger always perfect - good quality meat well balanced with home made pickle and that nice potato roll. Lemon Chilli chicken - some of the best grilled chicken I've had. Amazing service as always, staff make the experience even better. 5* highly recommended

This was a spontaneous visit. The staff were very friendly. We ordered big daddy burger, fries, sweet potatoes fries and a 1/4 chicken platter with 2 chops and 2 wings included. This was served with veg and mashed potatoes. The burger was delicious but the platter was a little disappointing. The sauce on the chicken was average and the veg was just 1 small broccoli floret, a few carrots and lots of courgettes. I didnt enjoy the mash potatoes as it tasted artificial and not fresh. The food is reasonably priced and it did get busy. Would definately go back for the burger though! :-)

The best smash burger I've had, the burger sauce is delicious👌 fried and presentation could be improved. The sauces on the side are nice too. Atmosphere was ok, waitress looked after my little one, brought her a colouring sheet and pencils whilst we waited for food.

Nagasaki Sushi

Ordered through just eat. Not really a sushi fan but this place was amazing. Enjoyed it all. Very fresh tasting. Great food!! So glad it's halal. Did take a good hour and a half to get to my door but they did call and applogise but when you are hungry you're hungry!!  Highly recommended! 5 🌟!!!

This restaurant is appalling. The driver arrived at my road half an hour late driving so recklessly that whatever drink was in his case had leaked. I watched him from the door as he emptied out the bag and then dropped the food on the floor and then chucked everything in my neighbours bin and then showed up to my door empty handed. The restaurant is so poor and useless with customer service, definitely do not recommend.

Ordered from Just Eat. Despite they were late in delivery, the restaurant manager gave me extra items and refunded the order. That was very kind. The food itself is delicious as usual.

Service was amazing and the food was even better! Top quality sushi with completely affordable prices. 11/10 would definitely recommend!

Full English breakfast with a Bangladeshi twist

🔴 @momlette__ 🔴 Located In Bricklane 
.
A new cafe serving bengali street food style eggs, Classic British style eggs with Bengali twist, all served on a caramboard table. The focus here is eggs. The main thing to get this concept correct is serving good quality eggs. They definitely got that spot on after seeing they using the good quality cacklebean eggs
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Eggs Royale (£10.95)
🔳 Momlette (£8.95)
🔳 Half English (£10.95)
🔳 Scrambled Momlette (£6.95)
🔳 Cronut (£3.50)
.
Momlette is their signature dish which is a omlette cooked with spices and mustard in a parata. I loved how it was the perfect balance of spice and nice texture of the eggs. Really good on the go kinda wrap
.
Half English meaning half English style, half desi. Your traditional breakfast with parata. Eggs cooked perfectly and the main thing here was the sausages. This was good quality sausage which had spices infused. Which was new to me. Really liked the sausages. 
.
Scrambled eggs on toast again cooked perfectly. With desi spices and herbs. If you’re bored of plain scrambled eggs defo try this. The best dish for me was egg Benedict. Perfectly cooked eggs. Lovely Hollandaise sauce. Good smoked salmon. Had a nice hint of kick.
.
All in all if you’re an egg lover defo a place to visit. They have excellent coffee aswell. Really enjoyed my oat latte aswell

@halalgems's review of Momlette Brick Lane on Instagram

Momlette

Firstly I would like to Thank the waiters, for their excellent service they had provided. They were really patient with us having to explain what each of the breakfast contain. The food was very pleasant. First time trying Desi breakfast with a twist. I would definitely recommend others to try, as it’s the first in East London. The signature tea was mouthwatering amazing.

The Momlette is hands down one of the most unique fusion omelette wraps I’ve ever had - bold flavours coming from the mustard! A must try when visiting. This cosy cafe pays homage to the Bangladesh identity, and celebrates the nation with its simple yet delectable menu.

Momlette is a great spot for brunch and has a nice variety of choices. The vegan momlette was really really good. Momlette also has nice reminders of it's Bangladeshi roots, although I wish that was greater reflected in it's menu choices. That said, I understand it is catering to a wide variety of people. The overall vibe is really nice and the owners are really personable!

Stopped in this little cute coffee for a nice lunch, it was very good! The chef putted some truffle oil on my avocado toast. Good food, good prices and very good chai latte.

What really matters and why I’d go back is the quality of the food. Presented wonderfully and tastes fresh and wholesome. Original decor which pays homage to the cultural richness of Bricklane.

Everything on our menu is halal and we don’t serve alcohol. M

Efes Restaurant (Whitechapel)

This restaurant is amazing, the staff were really friendly and welcoming, the interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated and feels very comfortable inside. We ordered the Special mix Grill which is enough for 4 people. I was in a group of 3 and there was plenty to eat. The food was nicely cooked and the taste was delicious. Prices are fair and I would 100% recommend Efes 👍🏼

Lovely Turkish place with clean environment and great food.

Price is about £30 per person.
We ordered a bit too much, highly recommend the sharing platter.

A work colleague recommended that we visit Efes, and it was a decision we did not regret. The place was clean and inviting. The starters were fresh, and the food was great. The cocktails were brilliant. I will definitely visit again. The only downside is that I wish the waitresses and host wouldn't stand in a line/ row at the bar/ grill. My friends and I felt a little pressured to finish the food and leave. Maybe a better seating would have helped, but besides that, all was well.

Went as part of a group of 25 work colleagues, friendly staff and very tasty food. We had the set menu at £35 was a little expensive for what we had. I had the mixed shish main course with a few chips. Both the chicken and lamb were cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavour. Would have given 5 stars but for the price and a couple of colleagues only getting their main course after most people had finished.

Went for dinner and tried a couple of platters, Aubergine, Turkish coffee and kunafe. Food was tasty and well presented, service was good too!! Not really spacious upstairs especially if you order a lot of food but downstairs seating was only for larger groups which was much nicer. Kunafe wasn’t the best I had !! Overall a good experience!

Known for hot chocolate made from chocolate shavings

Dark Sugars

Finally made it to this place.. What a shop!!

Lovely presentation. Everything is well labelled and you can choose what you want.

Staff are still at hand to give advice and help. Very friendly and great service.

Ethical and natural.. Its just what we need right now!

The chocolates are just lovely and you can gift these to anyone!

Best thing is.. If you don't want the hot chocolate there and then... You can buy all gear and make it at home!...

The best chocolates for miles around.

I've visited and shopped at Dark Sugars a few times now, and have always been impressed by their great selection, exceedingly helpful and knowledgeable staff. The prices aren't bad either, I tend to purchase the £20 square boxes and they go down very well indeed. 10/10

Absolutely love the sorbet from this place, always high quality and worth the money. If I could buy an entire tray of the mango I would pay in a heartbeat. Also, very glad to see they have their own shop now.

We went on a Sunday through the pouring rain and we're surprised to find the original store was not there anymore!!
The young lady said they had downsized that operation and were moving to a bigger site in Greenwich...The smaller store still sells chocolate,they make your order to the rear of the store...they give you a menu with a very good selection of chocolates on it and you choose...we had a hot chocolate drink which was divine,and got our chocolates and were on our way....a very nice experience,and can't wait till the Greenwich store opens... would thoroughly recommend!!

Chocolates were nice, but the woman shop keeper is racist. I went there twice. First time I experienced some unfriendly service, such as grumpy face, rude voice. I thought she was just having a busy hard time. The chocolates were nice, we decided to go back to buy some for our friends. I quickly chose 2 bags of chocolates and standing in the queue. It was the same woman shop keeper, she was really nice to a white woman infront of me, putting her chocolates into a nice gift box, explaining the taste of different chocolates without the lady actually asking. I was waiting for a while, looking at my phone, during the time, she asked another white woman standing on the side, "darling, do you need anything?" The lady said she was just browsing. Finally it was my turn, that unfriendly face on the shop keeper just suddenly came back again. She didn't even spoke to me, just point me to the scale. "27.8, card OK?", she said. "Yes, card is good", I replied. She looked at me and said, "Card OK?". "Yes, please", I repeated. She started severing another customer while I was still paying. At the end, I said "thank you" to her, and she totally ignore me. I have been living in London for almost 10 years, people in London are usually very nice. And this is the first ever public complaint.

All our items are suitable for a halal diet.

Fiore Dell Amore

Delicious Italian Halal restaurant in the heart of Brick Lane near Shoreditch. If you are looking for a Halal italian restaurant, this is for you. Everything offered in the restaurant are halal. Prices are reasonable. Great customer service. Portion is quite good as well. They offer non alcoholic drinks including non alcoholic wine, beer and cocktails. They are open till midnight so if you are worried about parking, go there after 7pm. Highly recommended.

Many thanks for Adel and Jessica, welcoming attitude and very friendly people. we had such a great experience in this lovely place, the food was perfect, big portion and cooked very well. Definitely recommend the restaurant. Would visit again for sure.

A local recommended we try this new place that just opened, so we went for dinner. I had the penne siciliano with mozzarella cheese sticks, which were both amazing! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the interior was gorgeous. I also really appreciated how the music wasn’t overly loud. Highly recommend!

I recently purchased a meal via Uber Eats and it was simply disgusting... The brioche buns used for the garlic bread were burnt and the cheese was really lacking in taste. It was hiding below the flavourless cheese but the taste of mayo was undeniable, which was just dreadful. The pasta was okay but too much sauce was used so it was very sloppy. I only really enjoyed the carrot cake but given the price (in comparison to the portion size), I wouldn't buy it again. It was a disappointing experience because I've actually eaten at the restaurant and the food then was miles better. Perhaps the takeaway food is handled by different hands but it's ruined my initial impressions of the restaurant.

The venue is beautiful and the food taste amazing. The starter tasted great and could have had it twice.

Everything on our menu is 100% halal (including all drink).

The Sushi Bar Brick Lane

This has got to be the most amazing sushi I have ever consumed! (No exaggeration). The portions were a good size and reasonably priced. Both the hot and cold options were divine. The sushi pieces were bursting with flavour and didnt require additional sauce. The halal options gave me the opportunity to try more variety.

We received a warm welcome as soon as we arrived. The staff were attentive and provided a great service. I would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing food and brilliant service. Really enjoyed the experience at Sushi Bar Brick lane. Although seating is limited, it's still lovely to eat inside. Really great unique menu

This was an amazing Sushi spot! It's hard to find an affordable sushi place in London let alone fresh fish. This place had it all! Definitely will come back

The sushi was delicious, we ordered several plates.

There were some issues with the other elements though. There is not much room at the bar so when our plates were empty I would have expected them to be cleared. We were the only two people at the bar and there were two gentlemen working at the bar who stood at the other end chatting. Our plates weren't cleared until we got their attention to ask for desert. We ordered a mochi and the owner presented us with it himself, which was visibly freezer burned and hard as a rock. Once again, there was a nice thought with presentation with a sliced strawberry as a garnish, unfortunately it was obvious that the strawberry had a rotten part they had cut away because what was left of it was also rotten.

I pointed out the rotten part of the strawberry and the owner acknowledged it and pulled it away without apologizing or even looking surprised.

So in summary, disappointed in the service and quality of desert but great sushi for taste and presentation.

It was my first time trying sushi from a sushi bar. Previously I had sushi made by my sister. I liked it. But I didn't get enough oomph to want to buy from shops. After learning about this new business and reading reviews I decided to give it a try. I Don't have any regrets. I'm happy that I bought sushi from there. The food was prepared and packaged nicely. The little sauce bottles add to the class. And the taste is good. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back again.

The Sushi Bar

A delicious wing stop in the heart of Shoreditch, Orange Buffalo have topped many a food stall!
.
.
We (unbeknown to the amount) ordered two of the ‘Original’ Wings and one of the ‘Woof Woof’ Wings. 24 wings between three! What a big mistake 😂 The wings were so filling that we took doggy bags (no pun intended 🤪) home, which consisted of about 75% of the food! To top that, we also ordered three lots of sides... clearly we eat with our eyes and not our stomachs 🙂 We would definitely return here though, and Orange Buffalo have now opened a restaurant in Tooting! No proper ratings for this place as it was more of a street food takeaway stall, but the food was a strong 7.5/10.

@twopeasfoodies's review of The Orange Buffalo Shoreditch on Instagram

The Orange Buffalo

Online it said they were open and I travelled an hour to come here and they were closed! We left crying.

Whoever says money can't buy happiness obviously never been to The Orange Buffalo. I was gonna say "best wings in London", but I'll take it a bit further and say it's the best food in London! Walking distance to orange buffalo is the top one requirement when I'm looking for a flat.

This is it. This is where it starts and where it ends. Perfectly cooked wings with fantastic sauce. I'd be calling myself a liar if I hadn't eaten close to 1000 wings from these guys this year and boy does every one taste as good as the last.

Stuck in lockdown and I'm still dreaming of this place. I was there four years ago, the last time I had a sesh in London.  I remember it like it was yesterday...

Me and the boys had been on the juice all day and, quite simply, we were ravenous. We foolishly ignored the usual decent eateries, despite running on (mostly alcoholic) fumes and in serious need of some sustenance. But we must have known our purpose - we had ascended beyond the realms of boring, normal food. We sought God-tier.

We were close to collapsing, the other food places far behind us as we dragged our tired, hungry bodies down the next street in our desperate efforts to complete our quest. We rounded a corner and our eyes were instantly drawn to a glowing sign: Chicken wings. Were our eyes deceiving us? Could it be a mirage? It seemed real enough. This could be the one, lads.

A jovial wizard popped into existence, greeting us with a smile as warm as a thousand suns as we pulled ourselves up to the level of the bar to peruse the menu. It was wings, or wings. That was it.

We didn't need any other options.

The wizard explained the variety of sauces we could pour over the crunchy delights. We started with the tamest, mildest of the sauces. We were in heaven. What flavour. Such texture. Meeeeaaaaaatttt.

We ended up trying all the sauces. The hottest one almost killed me. Totally worth it.

One day I will revisit this gift from the gods. One day I will once again sample delights that are beyond compare. I hope again to see my friend the wizard and shake his hand. I hope the chicken is still as crunchy as it appears in my dreams. I hope.

We will meet again. One day. Once this all blows over.

The chicken at all of our stores is Halal. We do serve alcohol.

Smash burgers, loaded fries and all your cravings in one box

Crave Joint

Burger was really tasty and well seasoned. The concept works well and you get a taste of everything. Food on point and the dips were excellent.

First time visit - Friday evening

SHOP:

Nice and clean, nicely decked out. Not very big and only 3 seating areas.

I had a look at the bathroom and it was nice and clean. I liked the tiling!

SEATING:

Unfortunately, if it's busy, there's not enough seating area. We had to stand around for about 10/15min until a table was free. We was potentially thinking of going somewhere else.

Furthermore, if you are coming with friends and its more than 5 people, it will be a tight squeeze for everyone to sit together.

WAITING TIME:

Twe ordered and had to wait around 15/20 min which was not great. It seemed like they had alot of online orders.

FOOD:

We ordered the mini Crave, which was £10 with a choice of burgers (meat or chicken)

I went for Honey Mustard which is the chicken selection. Have to say the burger was delicious

The mini Crave consist of one burger, fries, chicken popcorn, and a drink. Come with a pot of ketchup and garlic mayonnaise.
Look good! The food is packed in a box and had to say it was good!

OVERALL:

This Is a nice and clean place to come and it. The food was very good but just be prepared to wait around if the place is busy.

Absolutely fantastic food in a very nice box. The choices of the 4 different boxes are excellent. The design of the shop is very nice. The service is excellent.

A fantastic concept, everything you need in one box. Good quality burgers and the the red doner meat is just perfect.

Burgers from this place was a mega disappointment as this is a box of burgers and pizza. Burgers, wings and chicken strips were terrible. Honestly so bad. The only good thing in my box was doner meat. thats it. wasted £25

Better than your local chicken shop. @motherclucker. Probably the best fried chicken in London. .

Can I have some free chicken now @motherclucker?

@halalfoodguy's review of Mother Clucker Shoreditch on Instagram

Mother Clucker

Mother Clucker is a fried chicken joint with locations around central London. At Ely's Yard, it's a food truck.

Londoners are a demanding bunch and almost everywhere you look, food trucks are trying to one-up each other with their own take on this street food favourite. But not Mother Clucker. These guys are taking it back to basics.

It's a risky strategy, but one that's paid off in my opinion. You see, it's done well - very well. I ordered the ' Cluck Bun' and was impressed with the very generously sized chicken strips which were still juicy and perfectly seasoned in a secret blend of spices, tossed in hot sauce and drizzled over with lime mayo, and perched between 2 enriched brioche bun. 

Other things on the menu include chicken strips, Cajun fried, and a combo meal deal of the above plus a drink. If you don't like eating meats of the bone, you're in luck - Mother Clucker comes all boneless.

The test was in the chicken and Mother Clucker has passed in my eyes. There's nothing revolutionary, but it's for those who appreciate fine fried chicken off the bone without any other gimmick. This is why It comes recommended from yours truly.

My favourite chicken place. Fresh and delicious fried chicken with Cajun fries and that amazing hot sauce. Can't go here enough!

Food tasted absolutely delicious. Fresh food made in front of your face. Would definitely recommend.

One of my favorite places to eat at in London. Their food is made right in front of you, and it's crunchy and juicy. They also have a huge discount for students. All in all a really really delicious, quick, and clean place.

Seriously amazing burger! A full flavoured succulent cut if chicken, beautiful fries and great service! The homemade sauces are awesome too, the hot sauce isnt overly spicy, but it still packs some amazing flavours! Definitely coming back!

Relaxed cafe with a quirky vibe serving all-day food

Food: N and I always order the Full English Breakfast (with some tweaks) cos who doesn’t love a Full English? We always get the Sausages, Turkey Bacon, Eggs, Sourdough and Beans, and sometimes a cheeky side of Crushed Avocado or Halloumi. Everything is delicious. The Sausages taste so fatty that we can FEEL ourselves putting on the pounds 😂 but booooyy 👅 are they scrumptious! The only thing we hate are tomatoes, but we always order them because they look good in the pictures. 😬😂
Service: You have to order at the till and the food doesn’t take long.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Grounded Aldgate on Instagram

I went to check out @groundedcoffeeco_london
During the week after hearing good things .

Pictured is the full English (halal) at £9.50 and pancakes £7.50 .

I have to say I think this place is massively overrated. No way this is worth £9.50. The sausage was decent enough, but there wasn't enough here to justify the price, the word BASIC comes to mind and this shouldn't cost more than £5. It came with sourdough toast which was hard and unpleasant. Also, didn't even come with a cup of tea. Bump. .

The pancakes where just okay and they wern't even round! Brioche burger definitely do the best pancakes. 
The decor and vibe in there is good tho. But I'd take value over decor. You can go down a few shops and get a full English for £5.

🔴 @groundedcoffeeco_london 🔴 Located Near Aldgate East

This is probably a spot most East Londoners been eating for good few years. And personally my regular fav spot in the area. They have a massive menu, from breakfast dishes, to burgers and ribs as well as pancakes and French toast. They’re oat latte also on point, good premium coffee beans
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Full English (£12.50)
🔳 Egg On Toast (£8)
🔳 East Classic Burger (£10.50)
🔳 Buttermilk Pancakes (£12.50)
.
The full English breakfast is your classic popular dish here. I enjoy this more than others in the local area like cafe east and others. Every time I have that it doesn’t give me the greasy and oily feeling. Some days it does flop but in general I do enjoy this a lot
.
The burger I think is underrated. It’s weirdly a solid burger aswell. Like a good enjoyable Gourmet Burger. When I first had it, I’m like huh how the hell is this so good. I was expecting dead burger. Lol but it’s actually a solid burger. Not like a blow your mind away burger, but a burger you’ll eat and probably enjoy. Some days I did have it dry. But when it’s good, it’s joccccyyyyy 
.
But highlight for me always is their pancakes. I think this place made me love buttermilk style pancakes and pancakes that are thick fluffy but have that cakey taste, if that makes sense. But your slim looking pancakes
.
All in all this place is generally the best breakfast place in East London

@halalhunt's review of Grounded Aldgate on Instagram

Grounded London

Love love love this place! Great vibe, food is good and service is fast! Both times we ordered French toast and Eggs Florentine. So delicious and the berries were very fresh. Chai latte was amazing. Our server (from Montreal), was so welcoming and even gave us great advice on a rail shortcut to the airport. We can't wait to go back whenever we are in London.

THE FOOD HERE IS AMAZING! Grounded never fails to provide amazing food. The fact that all the food here is halal as well is incredible. Grounded is my number 1 choice anytime I'm hungry. All the food here tastes delicious and is made freshly everyday.

Lovely breakfast/brunch place. The staff was super friendly and reactive. As for the food, the French Toasts were incredibly delicious and weren’t too sweet. We also had the Smoked Salmon Poached Eggs. The eggs were cooked at perfection and there was a very generous portion of mashed avocado spread. I loved the fact that both dishes were really easy to share. Highly recommend!

My favourite place to come to for a weekend brunch, but you have to get there early (before 10) or there will be quite a wait. Great quality food and its halal! The smoked salmon breakfast, full English and pancakes are our favourites. The sausage roll with veg salad is also a winner. A bit pricey but quality 👍🏾

Amazing place, for someone coming to London for tourism and to enjoy food I actually loved this breakfast place. Loved it that much I kept going back as the food is just on point! I got the full English breakfast, pancakes and French toast. All was a delight, can’t wait to visit again once I’m back!

Only downside is that it’s so popular you may have to wait to get in. Best to come earlier to get seated.

All our food is Halal. Our meat products are halal and HMC certified.
