Carmelite Cafe in Tower Hamlets

Abbiamo prenotato un afternoon tea in famiglia per sei persone. Era un sabato pomeriggio. Il locale è molto caratteristico in una zona raggiungibile comodamente con la Dockland Light Railways. Personale molto cordiale. Tavola ben preparata. Afternoon tea abbondante e di buona qualità sia nel dolce che nel salato. Prezzi adeguati. Abbiamo potuto portare via gli avanzi che ci sono serviti per un' ottima colazione. Per noi esperienza veramente gradevole.

No es agradable, pero el personal es encantador, el café helado es excelente, los precios son muy buenos para Londres y nos dejaron quedarnos y charlar durante horas sin problemas. Perfecto para ponerse al día y sentarse después de una visita a la Galería Whitechapel

Hola, este es uno de mis lugares favoritos para un café por la mañana y pasteles en el barrio. Los eclairs au chocolat en particular son mis favoritos. Sin embargo, mi único comentario sería que los cruasanes solían estar más frescos y sabrosos hace un par de meses, no estoy seguro de si cambiaste algo en la forma en que los estás horneando.

I made the mistake of ordering the large mix grill for £50. It’s not worth it at all. You get a breast worth of chicken, some lamb shish, and two small koftas made with low-quality meat. They’re charging this much while the food isn’t even made on a charcoal grill, instead, they use the grills you’d find in a chicken shop. How can you charge the same price as places like Efes but have lower-quality food and not even use a charcoal grill, it’s embarrassing. I’ve had better-grilled food from cheap kebab shops. They advertise in their TikTok that they use a charcoal grill which is funny because they clearly don’t which is false advertising. They do shawarma, which seems to be the more popular option. It could be good but I doubt I’d go back to try it. Take your “grill” items off the menu and focus on your shawarma. Don’t sell something you can’t do right. Even your Luqaimat, I believe, wasn’t made properly as the centre was hard. When you open a restaurant, you are representing your country's cuisine. I doubt someone who has never had Syrian food would be willing to try it again after having your “grilled” food. Have pride in your food and make it to the best standard possible.

Really good breakfast and lunch food, and lovely staff who remembered how I liked my salmon bagel even after a 6 month break before my last visit! Go there rather than one of the coffee chains!
