Halal Reviews for Assenheims 56 Smithfield

Large portions, so quite good value for money. Unfortunately, I found the food quite bland. The green sauce is their signature, but I am one of those people who loathe coriander so the sauce was not good for me. Not only was the food bland, it was basically cold. The potatoes were barely warm when served, the veg and chicken not even that. The food came out very quickly and is clearly reheated rather than cooked fresh. I can live with that, but please take a few extra minutes to serve and reheat the food properly.

Discovered this great restaurant when I was near St Paul's. They have a few locations around the city. Absolutely delicious food and value for money. I had the beef patacones which is essentially tender pulled beef sandwiched between two massive crispy plantain "flat breads" but is gluten free. While I didn't have room for dessert, they do offer dessert along with 2 vegan sweet options. Lots of savory vegan options as well. Staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive.

Depends what you want. The portions are enormous it’s and value is great. The actual quality of the food is sub par. The chicken is ok but even though marinated, there isn’t a particularly special taste to it. The green sauce has no discernible flavour at all. So you need chilli to give it a kick. The rice is plentiful but looks more tasty than it actually tastes. The grilled vegetables weren’t grilled at all, they were boiled and over done, far too soft. So the meal was very bland but there was a lot of it so I left feeling full for little over a tenner.

Great lunch option in the area. The grilled chicken is very tasty (as is the green sauce that comes with it - an absolute must). Portions are generous and filling. There’s seating available, however it doesn’t look very inviting and i always do takeaway. All the staff are very nice and welcoming. Try to go for an early lunch - it happened that the chicken was a bit dry when we arrived later in the day. All in all would recommend and will go back.

Amazing chicken place with generous portions. On a good day one chicken box can serve lunch and dinner for me! The chicken is very tender and juicy. It is also seasoned properly, with a mixture of spices, leaving a wonderful aftertaste. Remember to ask for extra green sauce! It is a perfect match with the chicken. You'll never forget the taste once you've had it. For people who like spiciness, the chili sauce goes really well with the green sauce. The sides are less impressive. Vegetables and rice are a bit undercooked to my taste, without much seasoning either. But hey, what more can you ask for after such delicious chicken. Overall very good value for money. The waiters are helpful and friendly.
