Alter in Tower Hamlets

I loved this drink, perfect amount of sweetnees and the cheesy foam on top made it even better. Definitely a must visit.

It’s hyped , stale chewy rice was served the food was not proper

This was recommended by Rick Steeve's travel guide. Rick rarely disappoints but this place was a real letdown. Service not great and food not great either. Chicken mosalla was dry and sauce boring. A good Indian sauce should be complex and wonderful. Samosas were tiny. The one good thing was the chutney was delicious. Even though every other restaurant in London that we visited willingly gave us free tap water, the server here claimed that they did not have tap water. Really? What are they using back in the kitchen? You can bet that they are not using bottled water for all of their cooking. So your choice is to go thirsty or pay for bottled water, $3.75. This ploy is obviously just an effort to increase their revenue stream. Maybe they don't realize that water should be a human right, not just for those that pay. I am 67, took my niece on a trip to London, my treat, she is 34. The server here did not make eye contact with me, only my niece. Then when he brought the check, he didn't put it in the middle or give it to me, he gave it to my niece as if I were some elderly dependent and there was no doubt that she would be paying. Very odd. Or ageist?

Over the years like much of East London - brick Lane has been transformed into a hip - arty neighbourhood where Asian food courts and Street food have crowded out the old hole in the wall Bangladeshi eateries. Gram Bangla remains a gem - tucked at the deep end, a no frills outlet for those looking for authentic, home style Bangla cuisine. Undoubtedly- the high point is the medley of “Bhortas”.

This is a lovely local Korean restaurant that does some truly amazing food! the Korean Fried Chicken is a big standout. Myself and my partner come here quite a lot. My only criticism is that the service is very slow and staff are very distracted by the amount of delivery drivers are coming through for online takeaway orders which takes away from the whole experience!
