Claw in City of London, Westminster

We were a big group, Rogie as our waitress was amazing and very helpful with a big smile in his face despite of the crowded place Will definitely come back and ask for Rogie!

Not our first time, but we enjoyed this night way better than the previous we've had w/ claw bbq. Ms. Irish was very professional and friendly. She accommodates our every call and made our whole stay so relaxing and fun. Kudos to all of your warm-comfy-hospitable customer service, we would definitely come back!

Excelente hallazgo! Gran lugar para comer y un ambiente animado. Disfrutamos de los famosos camarones. Muy delicioso y buena relación calidad-precio. Servicio al cliente amable del chef Darren. Muy recomendable para salir por la noche.

Habiendo tenido un cóctel fenomenal en el pasaje de Camden para 8 comencé en Claw con el mismo cóctel que a los 10 no tenía nada especial y estaba en un vaso medio lleno. El cóctel de mi esposa también no tenía nada de especial (sabía a limón y mantequilla en botella). La comida estaba bien, pero nada especial y a 10 por plato (en el estilo de tapas) también era caro. El macarrones con queso de cangrejo no tenía ni idea de ningún cangrejo en absoluto. El salmón era soso en extremo. El personal de espera era encantador, atento sin ser abrumador. El proyecto de ley a los 70 fue demasiado para esta comida totalmente soso y sin complicaciones.

Abbiamo ordinato una taramasolata, che solitamente mangiamo in Grecia, che altro non era che una crema di acciughe. Tartare di tonno e salmone impiastricciate con creme varie tali da coprire il sapore del pesce. Giudizio decisamente negativo per chi come noi ama il pesce

Came into the restaurant at about 6pm on a Thursday. The place was mostly empty but looked alright, looked like there were quite a few bookings to come but the server was quite nice and was able to sit us by the window. And that was the last we saw of them. After about 10 minutes of not getting service and trying to get attention another couple came in and sat at another table. Within 5 minutes they had their order being taken, meanwhile we hadn't even been offered drinks. 20 minutes in and we gave up trying and just left.

My server was so helpful, such a shame I didn’t ask for his name. It was my birthday, and I was having a bad day. My friends were late due to trains delaying and my cake being smashed, but they were so accommodating. Food was amazing! Love love love! Food wise: 3 of us had 5 sharers and was very satisfied.

I took my Son here yesterday as an early birthday treat, as we both love Seafood. The menu is not huge, but innovative and there is a very friendly atmosphere. My Son ordered the lobster and Crayfish roll lunch time special (comes with fries and salad), while i was more tempted by the sharing bowls. Knowing i would be the only one eating them meant that i only needed two dishes instead of the four or five we had been recommended, which was a slight drawback. I chose crab on fries and crabmacncheese, as they have been known to be popular. I was not disappointed. The fries had been dusted with cajun salt, and the crab mayonnaise was loaded on top generously. (Dont bother asking if they can leave the mayo off as they mix it in first tthing in the morning). The crab macncheese was super cheesy, very comforting and yummy. Not sure if i could taste the crab in it... but i simply stabbed some of my crab topped fries onto the fork with the cheesey pasta and i was in food heaven! No pics as my phone had died by then, but i will definately be going back to try more of the dishes next time I am in London. The cheeky thing about this place is that they whop on a 12.5%gratuity.... even when there are just two of you! I would have preffered to decide how much of a tip to leave myself, but as i didnt want to embarriss my son by causing a fuss... and we had enjoyed the meal, i was happy to pay it on this occasion.

This place is bafflingly inconsistent... Lets start with the good,the crab roll was to die for, the grilled greens were heavenly and the jerk prawns were every kind of next level awesome uou could imagine, I will definately be back for those 3 items However... the octopus, whilst well cooked tasted of absolutely nothing and the mac and cheese was a dry, dull and lifeless affair made with so little love i considered calling child services. Speaking of service, most of the staff were lovely. However our server was unfortunately the one exception, he was rude and dismissive, and proceded to have arguments with and swearing at other staff members whilst standing next to us. Overall though I will be going back as the majority of the food was delicious.

Nice place. Small sharingplate before dinner. Fresh food, magic combos of tastes. Try the grilled octopus and welcome to the Soho heaven😍🤘

I want to clock off while journeying around London. I ordered the crab mac & cheese. I am from New England so my expectations were high and of course it didn’t even come close to living up to what we get over here. Club that’s great service and nice vibe in Carnaby but my meal was just average

Fab little place serving simple fresh food in an imaginative way. Mainly tapas style seafood but also meat and veggie options on the menu. The menu is quite small but food is delicious - ideal for a relaxed lunch. Cheap & cheerful cocktails and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Fab little place, the staff were very friendly and attentive and food was delicious. So much cheaper and more to choose from than Burger and Lobster. Will define key be back! The crab and lobster roll was delish!

Discovered Claw on TripAdvisor and decided to try it as we were in the area of Carnaby Street and was looking for some seafood. We were not disappointed and really enjoyed our visit. The restaurant is a simple place, no table cloths, manage your own utensils – you order and people just bring you the dishes as they are ready. We had all the recommended dishes, from the fries with crab on top (skinny fries with a punch of peri peri spices and a dollop of crab salad on top – yummy) to the grilled octopus (with polenta and truffle oil – again nice although I am not a fan of polenta), to the crab mac and cheese (creamy, delicious madness – not too tart on the cheese and just creamy and flavourful with crab roe cooked in – very nice! My husband loved the lobster and crayfish roll which was served properly on a brioche bread – I prefer bigger chunks of lobster but this was still delicious. Service was fine, the dishes came out at a steady rate and then stopped for a bit before it restarted – probably the only service hiccup. We really enjoyed the food – the portions were small but allowed us to order a lot of different things. I am rather fascinated with the prospect of the chicken wings in fish sauce and the Thai lamb larb – will try that next time along with the tempura oysters and grilled oysters. Humm – getting hungry now…. This is a nice place for an afternoon snack with lots of flavours to ignite your palate – we will certainly be back and try a few other things on the menu!

Was out shopping with my friend, we were in central so decided to head to Carnaby street. We were walking along Kingly street (behind hamleys) when we passed this place Claw, which looked like it did good food. We went in and told the waiter we didn't have a booking so we sat by the table looking out to the street (good place to people watch). It was comfortable enough. I knew right away I would enjoy the food here. Plenty of seafood with a few meat and vegetable dishes to accompany......I have attached a photo of the food. I would say that the food is fusion, with a touch of Asian / Spanish / South American ingredients. We had: Grilled octopus - octopus was cooked perfectly, the polenta and cheese went well together. Aubergine Squid - how can.you go wrong with crispy squid? This dish again was super delicious with a great contrast of texture and flavour Fish tacos - one of my favourites of the night, light flour tacos with lightly battered fish, a honey sauce and fresh tomato, really refreshing and tasty. Skinny fries with crab - my most favourite dish of the night, must get this!!! Peri peri salted crispy fries with a creamy sweet crab topping DELICIOUS Roasted greens with anchovy butter - another new combo of flavours for me, loved the fresh greens with the creamy salty butter (needed a bit more lemon though) We also had dessert - almond and cherry ice cream......quite a sweet and overpowering flavour, didn't really enjoy it personally. Blueberry cheesecake ice cream was quite nice but again quite sweet and heavy for a dessert. A few of the ice cream flavours were out of stock. The place has a great vibe and it was busy. Alot of couples and small groups. Great place to get a few dishes and share. Service was A LITTLE slow, but the manager was very kind and gave us free desserts, so excellent customer service. I really enjoyed this little place. Good food and great fun to eat. Enjoy

The choice of food and the variety of flavours is great! If you're a seafood fan then this place is definitely to be tried at least once. All dishes cooked really well and the fish is melt in the mouth. The group I visited with, chose a selection of dishes to share. Each dish is a little on the smaller size if you're looking for a substantial meal but you can pretty much overlook this because of how delicious the food is. Definitely a quality over quantity restaurant. Simple but delicious were the Grilled Greens with Anchovy Butter. I could have eaten a lot of these! The Giant Jerk Shrimp was full of flavor too, they didn't last long! I probably wouldn't recommend this as a family friendly restaurant (unless you have adventurous children), but for a special occasion or a foodie lunch, it's great.

There's a strong variety of dishes at Claw - my personal faves included the chicken wings, tasty but a little overdone, the crab on fries which was plentiful for the price, fish tacos and the Thai minced lamb on lettuce. Every dish was good and...

Was passing by and the menu looked good. Service was average. Expensive tapas and beer. 12.5% service charge added to the bill. Dishes range from £7 - 12. Beer 2/3 pale ale £9.

very tasty food! relax with the kids and enjoy the meal. we try the crab roll, tuna tartare, salmon poke and fish fingers for the kids👌👌👌

We sat down, placed our order and were asked if we have any allergies to which we asked if any of the dishes contained pork as my husband can't eat it. There is only one pork dish on the menu and the place is called...

Simple review ... amazing food , great ambience , lush drinks , super helpful staff .. can’t wait to return ! Recommended

We went for a pre theatre meal early evening. The atmosphere is nice and the service very good. The food was a bit hit and miss but all ok. The crab mac n cheese was delicious, as were the greens with anchovy butter, which I...

Do you feel like having some seafood without breaking the bank? Stop wasting your time, and come to claw! In what is probably one of the cutest little streets you'll find around London, is this precious, and much more accessible version of the famous "Burger...

On the Sunday we are in central London and wanted something a little different from the usual English style food for lunch. We came across this place and the menu looks very interesting/attractive.... prices looked into good as well. What came out there was a...

Truly extraordinary and knowledgeable staff in a cool, industrial shotgun-style restaurant space. But the star of the show? A manageable but really creative menu and plenty of small plates if you want to share and try a bit of everything. It seems counter-intuitive for an...

We had a pre-theatre meal here so were limited on time but the staff were excellent and ensured that our food came promptly so we did not need to rush. Great menu full of different twists on classics - try the lobster and crayfish bun...

I followed CLAW via their Instagram account @CLAWFOOD. The food served were amazing. Great food with great value and located at the center of Carnaby area. They opened this outlet around a year ago. Highly recommend this place for those who want to have sea...

The management of this restaurant took care of every detail, with each piece of forniture recalling the sea and fishing (hooks and fishing lamps are basically scattered everywhere), making you feel as you are ready to sail for exotic harbors. Food comes in small plates...

Really nice different spot that offers lunch specials with Crab, Fish or Lobster. But being as its called Claw I went for the Crab, which was great. The also seeve meat dishes, and I must say, their chicken wings were very tasty!

The food was extremely oily and no particular flavour (complete lack of salt) I was really disappointed the only thing half decent was the crab roll!

very nice alternative at street food based on claw and fish. the staff is very nice and the location is great. the tartare is not exactly what you expect. maybe the chef was too bit creative.

Was recommended this place by a friend and had such an awesome meal. I recommend to go for lunch as the specials are more value for money, or to go for an early dinner (before 6pm). They also have a nice selection of drinks to...

Great atmosphere and decor at the Kingly St restaurant, however quite a disappointment from the dishes we had at their food truck at a food festival then again on broadgate circle. The quality of ingredients was quite poor for the price, illustrated by the fish...

Right in the heart of Soho this is a busy bustling place. Small but with a good feel to it. The dishes are small plates for sharing and everything we ordered was lovely. Particularly liked the soft shell crab and the baby squid with aubergine....

Amazing crab and lobster rolls. Ordered to takeaway as restaurant was fully booked until 9pm so people are clearly loving this place as much as I did.

Read about this place in a magazine and decided to check it out. It is fairly recently opened and the food was great. We had prawn toast with Japanese ketchup, grilled octopus with polenta chips and pickled fennel and bang bang watermelon and cucumber with...

Small restaurant near Oxford circus . We shared 5 small plates all lovely . Though to choose between the Crab role and the squid with aubergine. Also very nice pale ale on tap. Well worth a visit

12. Nov. 2018. Walking around Oxford Circus and Regent Street we found by coincidence this small and nice restaurant just off Regent Street. Delicious food, freshly prepared. Perfect for lunch. Offer also a variety of small meals to share. Can only be recommended.

This is only my opinion but I don't know what the hype is about. I've had better lobsters and better mac cheese but definitely not this overpriced. Don't get me wrong it's alright. But it's just alright!

Epic service! Epic food! Quality choice of drinks! Claw does everything well, friendly engaging staff, a menu that’s got just enough choice and variety on it and all at a reasonable price! The guys and gals more than deserved the tip that was given! Don’t...

Me and my boyfriend went here after following the restaurant on instagram for sometime... We ordered the crab express rolls which came with fries and salad. We also ordered The crab mac and cheese to share...which oh my god is one of the best things...

Claw is about two seconds away from Carnaby Street, literally round the corner so it was a very convenient place to have dinner after shopping. It is cosy in here and very cool and would be good for a casual date. My husband and I...

Walked past Claw many times so tried out the express lunch today - it certainly was quick with good service.

Its name is Claw and its symbol is a crab, so you would expect to eat a crab. However in the menu there was no whole crab, except for very, very small fried (!) crabs with a soft shell. You could find shredded crab, crab...

The staff at Claw couldn't be friendlier and more helpful - made spending time in there very relaxed and enjoyable. The food was tasty and well-cooked - we had a crab mac & cheese (lacking on the crab though!), fish tacos, grilled greens and a...

Here you can eat fish in a lot of different styles. The dishes are creative and very well prepared. We had 3-4 dishes per person which was enought and a nice glas of wine. We sat with the view on the street watching people passing...

Very interesting place with fast seafood. The crab roll and crab on fries are very tasty ( especial fries) but not healthy. Beer is very good

Its perfectly located in Soho's Kingly Street, a vibrant stretch of bars, projections on wall, live music and restaurants (including the wonderful Kingly Court open air space with tonnes of bars abd restaurants which is a must on your visit to this part of London)....

Stopped in for takeaway but when I saw an almost empty restaurant I decided to stay and was seated at the front open window bar. The wait staff was very friendly and suggested a lunch special. The crab sandwich was excellent! It wasn't too heavy...

KFC is a must! Crab on Fries was yummy too, mix it first though! For rolls you can choose either Lobster or Crab, I personally like lobster more.

Visited while on holidays. Really nice place, with small sharing plates. Enjoyed most of the dishes. Our server, Alberto, was absolutely fantastic! Definitely coming back.

I went for the lobster roll - it was great. Nice and friendly staff, great location if you're interested in walking around Kingly Court.

We were at Carnaby street and just decided to have a dinner here. We are very satisfied, food was great especially the grilled oysters, had to order a second round. Service was great. Moderately priced. Will recommend

Just off Carnaby Street and by Dishoom, Claw might not look like much. However the food is phenomenal and the service is excellent. Definitely recommend the Fish Tacos!

Been here with my partner 3 times now and never been disappointed yet. Claw’s Crab Roll+Chips+Salad at £13 is a winner especially when you compare to Bobs lobsters mini Lobster roll at £6.50. Keep up the good Rolls boys and girls! Shout out to the...

3 of us went to Claw earlier this week. The food was delicious, particularly loved the tuna tartare and the fish tacos. But the size of the portions was very underwhelming - even the 'bigger' sized lobster roll which came with shoe string fries was...

Crispy fine chips on top of rolls, freshly made bread and lots of lobster & crab; Friendly waiters & waitress; nice atmosphere

Just a beautiful simple menu - everything we ate was wonderful, crab on fries, grilled broccoli, oysters,chicken wings, fish tacos - just lovely!! The cheesecake was original & to die for - but order one to share, it’s substantial! And lovely informal service too. Fabbo

The 'new' menu appears to have NO main dishes and no whole crab. Only ridiculously overpriced and undertaste 'tapas' recommended to order 3 per person. I hate to break it to you guys, but tapas are meant to work together... these did not. My husband...

Such a shame as this place looked cute from the outside, but what we had was very poor value. A lobster rol at £15 which was more mayonnaise and bread than lobster and what they called shoestring fries were pencil shavings of potato. This wouldn’t...

Got a takeaway meal about 1/2 hour after opening time. The crab roll is very delicious and the bread is light and toasty. The chips are nice but i'd say they should go easy on the paprika and whatever the black seeds are. I have...

the crab beignet needed more salt, the crab chips although nice sounding, masked the flavour of the crab. the best dishes were actually the non-crab ones (tuna tartare and miso steak). a shame as the service was good and restaurant ambiance nice

I had the trout sandwich which was delicious and a perfect combination of flavours. However, it came without any sides and was quite small so for £10 wasn’t worth it. In addition it was one of those places where they serve you the plates when...

Particularly good were the crab & fries, mussels, crab man n cheese, watermelon and feta salad and chicken wings. Tuna tartare and KFC were both okay. Cajun boil was decent but overpriced and crawfish were very dry. Shared a couple of the blueberry cheesecake rolls...

I went to Claw twice (in a short amount of time), and each time was great overall! Friendly and helpful staff, the service was really long the second time, but they made it up by taking few things off the bill. Regarding the food, I...

My wife is the expert on all restaurants in and around the Soho area of London as she frequents a lot of them, so I was happy to go with her recommendation and have lunch at Claw and as always she nailed it. Cool decor,...

This is one time when I questioned all the positive reviews that enabled me try this out with family in tow. Staff member who served us was one of the saving graces of the evening. Crab fries soaked in Mayo the pieces of crab couldn’t...

Had a great lunch here at the weekend with a special on the menu for the GQ Carnaby Style Weekender. Really lovely waitress and a dish that I’d definitely suggest should be on the main menu 👌

We went here on Saturday evening after a theatre visit. The food was very good and served quickly although one or two of the tapas dishes could have been better. The staff were excellent from advising us whether we needed to book all the way...

Went for lunch with my son.I ordered a crab roll I've never seen such a poor amount of filling it was a small brioche roll with two spoons of a crab mayo with lots of dill which totally doesn't go with crab £9.00 .We then...

I had espresso at this place late on a weekday morning, before the arrival of lunchtime diners. The coffee was fine and I pondered a second cup but the music was just too unpleasantly loud - and I didn’t get the impression staff would be...

Amazing food, lovely staff, everything was spot on from the ambience to the cute vintage mirrors in the toilet cubicles. My other half has decided we myst go back in the next 2 weeks it was that good.

Although we didn't eat at Claw, we stopped by for some drinks and enjoyed the sunshine on their outdoor seating. We were greeted and served by the wonderful general manager Jason who could not have been a better host. Attentive, funny and very accommodating and...

Stopped for late lunch. Decor is "modern industrial," kitchen is open and all appears quite clean. Menu offerings are limited- we chose 4 to share: broiled oysters, crab beignets, crab roll and salad with fennel & grapes. Each was very flavorful. Oysters were outstanding !...

The crab mac and cheese in particular is amazing. The oysters were also the best I have ever had. The menu is always changing and focuses on quality produce. The staff and ambiance are spot on.

ByPassing with outside seat available so gave it a go. The waiter described the crab as dressed with brown and white meat and claws etc on the side. He was partly right. The claws were served on the side of an empty shell filled with...

Absolutely fabulous find a refreshing change , love the small share plates means you can try lots of different things , great service too

Found this place by accident whilst pottering around Carnaby Street. It’s small but with very friendly staff who made us very welcome. Everything was obviously rather fishy, though there were other things. If I was to return to that area I would definitely pop in.

Arrived here by chance passing by, waitress advised us to pick 3 sharing dishes, so we went for Fish Fingers, crab mac n cheese and miso steak with a bottle of Cava. The fish fingers came out first, two large breaded fingers (fish of the...

Visited with my other half at prime time on a Saturday night and really enjoyed the food. We shared the Crab Beignets (filled and fried parcels), Crab MAC n Cheese and the Crab Fries. Every dish tasted great and we couldn’t fault anything. We enjoyed...

It was perhaps not the restaurant's fault that there was a UK wide shortage of crab claws that week (so they told me), but it did put a dampener on what is clearly their key dish. The suggested replacement of crab beignets was not really...

We were there on first week opening, rich menu and kind staff, we find a boy with Italian roots who helps us! Best mac&cheese ever eaten, I chose the "crab mac". Not too expensive. Trust me try it

good food, friendly fast service and well located. We went for the Crab Mac & Cheese which was good. Might try other things on the menu when I'm back there again but really I think I'll just go for the Mac & Cheese again

I love seafood! So I had a great expectation for this restaurant. We wen there before the menu change and the service was personal and friendly and the food tasted good; however the portion was very small. Crab Fries had mean portion of crab on...

I felt the food was mediocre, small crab claws with very little meat on them. My father was a fisherman and we have huge edible crabs around our shores, these did not seem to be from that species. Four 'fish fingers' which should be called...

Went to this place with some friends because few of them really want to dine there. Once seated they advise you to order 2/3 dishes per person to share - which I have to say is a lot (and I do eat a lot!!). I...

We were told the dishes would arrive when ready, but this meant waiting for more than an hour for some of the main dishes we'd ordered to arrive. We were then told very near the end that we had to leave within 8 minutes. This...

Prepare to eat with your hands and end up mucky, garlicky and very, very happy. The signature dish of cracked clab claws comes with claw crackers and masses of garlic and herbs. Delicious. An inventive salt crust baked celeriac came too. Just yum. These guys...

The main draw in going here was the crabby chips, to be perfectly honest. I'd have accepted a lot as long as they were good. Thankfully they were, but I was pleasantly surprised by the range of other options, the friendly ambience, and the staff...

Went for lunch, expecting only to have a little sandwich until I came across Claw Carnaby. I can not recommend it enough of you are a lover for crab, mussels, chicken or pork. They do a variety of street food which is another bonus! The...

The menu is varied, but you must try ALL the crab options! Full of flavour and all served with a smile from the friendly waiters. Definitely take 2 options each, and share as you'll want to try everything but the crab claw was my favourite.

All the dishes that we tried were good. Refer to the pictures Ambiance average Service is excellent with very friendly staff
