Flat Iron Shoreditch in Hackney

Très chouette endroit. Ambience chaleureuse. Belle deco. Endroit propre. Nous y avons juste pris un verre, mais ça donnait envie d’y manger…

It wasn’t for me. Tables very close together, so close in fact that we joked with the table next to us about eating dinner together. I guess it was my own fault but I didn’t realise that flat iron isn’t like a traditional steak house. They pretty much just have a flat iron steak and then a sirloin on the specials. I was celebrating with a friend and fancied a chateaubriand however that was not on the menu. They don’t have a “steak menu” as such. The flat iron steak was nice though and at £14 I really can’t grumble. After dinner I asked to see the dessert menu but was shocked to hear they don’t do desserts! Instead they give you a silly little token that you had to a man at the door on your way out who gives you a cone of ice cream…thanks but no thanks I’m not 10 years old. I left feeling a bit flat. In summary the steak I had was nice, the sides were nice but the menu is not a full steak menu and there’s no desserts. The seating arrangement is too close to the next table and the restaurant is very noisey. Service was good though with good staff. If you’re looking for a “proper” steakhouse then keep looking. Hope this review helps others.

The best wagyu I tried. Everything was impeccable. 10/10 highly recommend!! Shout out to Christian best service :)

I was able to amend my book on the day with no issues. Food was great. Staff were friendly and accommodating to our requests. Quick service.

Amazing service literally had the best time! Denzil is an absolute superstar! Pay rise most definitely!!

Service was excellent! Denzel was truly a proper gentleman and host. My Wagyu steak was delicious! Would recommend :)

Food was lovely and arrived very quickly! Staff booked us in last minute on a busy Friday night and were great (Denzel served us and was nice and bubbly), would come here again for sure

Lucas was an amazing and deserves more pens

Denzel was so bubbly, enthusiastic and brought a joy to our night. It was my first time trying Flat Iron and I’m so happy that it was at the Shoreditch branch. This will not be my last time here. Thank you so much!

Amazing experience with our waiter Denzel. Was very attentive and showed great charisma throughout - need more waiters like this in the world!

Best food and staff great especially Denzel! Really good expertise

The meal was amazing, quality and time of service was even better. Denzel helped us with everything and made us feel at home.

Amazing food - Denzel was extremely efficient, polite, and friendly! We’ll definitely visit again

Love flat iron and have been coming for years. Service was great especially Denzel - thank you!

Good food and great service from Denzel!

Denzel was amazing! So kind and professional. Really speedy service! What a legend.

Denzel is one of the best waitresses/ managers we have encountered. Attentive and with amazing banter. The whole team was welcoming and friendly, but she was outstaning!!!

Our first time at Flat Iron and we can't speak highly enough of it (and Denzel in particular!). We were looked after from the moment we arrived until the moment we left (with a little ice cream treat to see us out). Denzel took us through everything and gave us all the tips and tricks. The steaks were cooked to perfection, the wagyu sirloin was super rich, and we couldn't get enough of the sides - especially the chips and the mash. Good vibes and atmosphere throughout. Cannot recommend more - and you're in good hands if you get Denzel!

Denzel is the bessssssttt! Give him his flowers! Superstar!

Denzel was amazing! Give him a raise

Denzel was an amazing server, making us laugh the whole night, keeping us happy, very attentive and friendly!!

Amazing food, amazing service. Denzel’s energy was infectious and made the experience even better. Faultless experience at flat iron, definitely recommend to anyone coming to Shoreditch.

Really good night celebrating 1 year anniversary! Served by Denzel, legend!🙌

Luca was amazing - we came here for my boyfriends birthday and we both left amazed by the level of service we received. Quick, high quality and tasty food served by a great front of house team that made the night memorable. Will definitely be returning and i’m sure anyone who sees this review will have the same experience we did!

Amazing steak amazing sides amazing atmosphere and Luca was an amazing server couldn’t have asked for a better night x

Luca was mint, quick service, great vibes good food

Great meal at FlatIron Shoreditch for my birthday. Food was incredible, Denzel was excellent and made sure we had a great time. When you go, make sure Denzel looks after you!

I’m very pleased with the service. Very friendly people who are here for help. Love the communication with each one of them! For food i can say, i tried the cheeseburger, smashed potatos and aubergiene. They were all very nice but what they had together is they were all very very oily. If you have a sensetive stomach it can bother you after. The location is good the atmosphere is quite romantic i can say and the prices are as expected a bit high.

Excelente comida. La mayoría filete con una hamburguesa. Servicio al cliente excelente. Hubiera sido una estrella pero... debido a que tengo alergia a la lactosa. El menú de alergia menciona una opción libre de lácteos en el bistec. Elige esto. Solo para encontrar en la factura me cobraron 10 p extra por decoración especial. Nunca lo supe hasta que se vio en Bill. ¿Por qué extra por no tener mantequilla?

Klaudia is one of the best waitresses/ managers we have encountered. Attentive and with amazing banter. The whole team was welcoming and friendly, but she was outstaning!!!

Great relaxed atmosphere, we had a bavette, flat iron - both perfectly cooked -, fries, kale and macaroni cheese with a delicious red wine. Excellent friendly and welcoming service. Will come again :-)

Jonathan was amazing, really kind and accommodating, food was great too!

Came here the other day for Valentine’s Day and it is a really nice intimate spot. The overall bill was nice affordable, the food came out in 10 minutes and the music was a vibe!!! Plus the £14 steaks tasted delicious! The staff were also on point, gave us great service and were so lovely! Would definitely recommend for a date spot!

Came in at 7:30, no reservation, restaurant packed. A very kind server cleared us a table, and we were encompassed by an exquisite server named Igor. 10/10 steak 11/10 sides (get the truffle Mac and cheese) and a complementary Mr whippy at the end. Would definitely come again, thank you again Igor.

Excellent steak for the price you pay. I would recommend asking for the specials.

The food options and quality is superb and their £14 flat iron steak is very tasty. The staff are friendly and there is usually always a good atmosphere here. We have visited here a few times and it is generally really good. I have only put four stars though as on the last occasion we visited, a few of the staff were play fighting near to our table which was off putting. It literally felt like a playground. I'm all for light fun etc but right next to diners when they are trying to eat a calm meal 🤨.

Great vibes great food even better drinks, service was great young man named denzel was exceptionally polite and all round great vibes. I will be back again

absolutely loved it here at flat iron yesterday for valentines one of my favourite restaurants at the moment, food was delicious and affordable, our waiter denzel steakington was fabulous funny and very quick service :)

Flat Iron never disappoints! Food was delicious and the staff was amazing! Editing this to give a special shout out to Denzel who made our most recent visit very pleasant. Keep up the great work!

Great food and service from Denzel. Would happily come here again.

Vino a última hora de la tarde con mi pareja y fue recibido con una sonrisa y un gran conocimiento del menú. Luka era una joya absoluta y nos hizo sentir como en casa. Verdadero activo para el restaurante. ¡La comida también era una locura! Me encantó el macarrones con queso

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever tried, value for money is nuts for London and you get free ice cream at the end. £14 steak being exactly the same as £40 steak I’ve tried says a lot about inflation doesn’t it

Steak was good, some of the prime cuts better than the flat iron (though to be expected). Nice to have free ice cream, and the price is right.

Denzel was an incredible waiter. We felt so well taken care of and he made our night!

Best steak ever thank you Denzel Steakington for firing us up our toasty steaks

We had a fantastic dinner at Flat Iron Shoreditch, and Salvatore made the experience even more special! He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. His warm and friendly attitude truly stood out, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. Exceptional service with a smile! Thank you, Salvatore, for making our night so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

Oh my gosh! The food was amazing! I loved the Mac N’ Cheese and the waiter Denzel! He was a delight!

Very taken care of. Lovely food. Lovely service - thank you Denzel!

Alright so let me tell you why you should come here. The steak? Absolutely wild. The chips?? Forget about it, you’ll be hurting for more. The SERVICE??? UNMATCHED. Denzel went above and beyond. It’s almost like he hand picked the cows in the morning before we came in specifically just for us. When there was a bump in the road with an order, he came through and made sure we were well looked after. Can’t recommend enough. Stop what you’re doing rn and come get a bite to eat.

What a wonderful experience! Denzel was a Jem and made sure to make me and my friends feel seen and taken care of!

Came here for a birthday dinner and we had a wonderful time with excellent service from our server Denzel! We all rated the food 10/10 and had the best time at Flat Iron - will definitely be coming back!

Steak was amazing. The bone marrow mash. *chefs kiss* The service. Denzel, my man! Served so well and cared for EACH of us. Whatta man.

Everything about my experience at Flat Iron Shoreditch was AMAZING! Our waiter, Denzel, was SO quick and funny and an overall great server! I couldn’t recommend this place enough! 5 out of 5 stars!

Amazing steak, fantastic hospitality as per usual. Denzel was on top of everything, and very apologetic when my steak came late - which wasn’t his fault. It’s not easy working in hospitality, but with servers like Denzel, it’ll be a breeze. Bearnaise is to die for, with a great tang!

The steak was amazing and the chips delicious. Great customer service by Denzel. We felt very looked after. 10/10

Best steak in LONDON! Absolutely enjoyed my experience! Vibes 10/10! Denzel was our server and he hit it out of the PARK! Definitely going to come back

Great place, Salvatore was my waiter, the best

Great evening! Thanks to Salvatore we enjoyed every second in here. Would give 6 stars if possible

Great experience thanks to Salvatore ! I recommend the Picanha

Amazing and the guy who serve me (GABRIEL SERVE US IN AMAZING THING) ! Love it!!

Amazing service, was seated fairly quickly served with a smile by the welcoming and lovely denzel. Food arrived fast and cooked to absolute perfection along with service that was top tier despite being a busy Saturday, one of the best steakhouses to visit and would definitely Recommmend

Great steak, good vibes and Denzel our waiter was extremely attentive, welcoming and funny without being too much. Didn’t have a reservation and were seated relatively quickly for a busy Saturday night. Would recommend!

Excellent food and the service from Denzel was outstanding, couldn’t recommend him or the restaurant highly enough

Denzel was a fabulous waiter with an incredible depth of knowledge on the menu. He served not only great food but a great experience as we wined and dined. Thank you, Denzel. 10/10. Five stars.

A fantastic dinner. Denzel was such an attentive server, funny, friendly and all around great host.

"I had the pleasure of being served by Denzel during my visit to flat iron and I couldn't have asked for better service. From the moment we arrived, Denzel greeted us with a warm and friendly smile. He was attentive without being overbearing, offering great recommendations and checking in at just the right moments. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and his enthusiasm made the entire dining experience enjoyable. Denzel also handled a minor issue with our order quickly and professionally, turning it into a positive experience. Overall, his excellent service truly enhanced our meal, and I will definitely be requesting his section next time. Highly recommend!"

We had a great diner at Flat Iron. We liked the service and the food was delicious! Especially the service of Denzel was great!

We had an amazing evening with incredible good food. You should try the mushrooms sauce with your steak, Denzel gave us this recommendation!

Denzel made the evening. He made us so comfortable and ensured we was looked after at all times. The chips weren’t great but the service more than made up for this. Denzel is the reason we come back here as he makes the experience.

Superb food, lovely vibe. Better attention to serving drinks would be highly appreciated.

Amazing food with incredible service from Denzel!

Always a good meal, steak is such great value, quick and friendly service. Denzel was great.

Attended flat iron Shoreditch after being rushed out of another resistant. Out server Denzel, was so polite, attentive and very pleasant. He made our visit that much better. Will defiantly be returning after the great customer service :)

Una cena absolutamente encantadora. Nuestro severo Denzel no podría haber sido más atento, amable y divertido. ¡Él hizo la noche! Recomiendo a todos.

Great service from Denzel - he recognised us from previous visits and provided outstanding customer service as always! Nothing was too much trouble for him and even with a busy section on a Friday night, he still managed to smash it!! Food was great as usual! Thank you Team Shoreditch!

Denzel was exceptional, really made my experience.

Food unreal as always, warm and kind welcome from all staff. Amazing service from our server Denzel. My favourite restaurant by far.

We popped in for a quick dinner and Denzel our server was amazing in walking us through the menu and making recommendations! Such a friendly personality would deffo go here again !

Food was great denzel needs a pay rise unbelievable service

We had the BEST time at Flat Iron! The food was delicious and really reasonably-priced, the staff was lovely, food arrived super quickly... 10/10! Special mention to Denzel who gave us the best service 😍

Luca the waiter was class. Very attentive and very funny. Food was good also.

Amazing food and amazing service! Such good value for money. Deffo recommend! Shout out to our waiter Denzel <3

Food always great, sides are amazing, the furniture itself is the one issue multiple tables were unstable.

They do steak and burgers, that's about it, but they're decent at what they do. I only go because my partner raves about it, but for me? It's fine, no more, no less.

The food was great, the vibe was calming, and we had a great time at Flat Iron. Denzel was attentive and went above and beyond with his customer service.

Impeccable service from Denzel during our dinner at Flat Iron Shoreditch! Will definitely come back!

My experience at flat iron was super nice, I’ve been to flat iron many times, however this time our waiter Denzel really made the experience special, he’s attentive, fun and professional 10/10 will come back just to be served by him

Went to flat iron on a spontaneous thing, and it was honestly so fab! From excellent customer service from everyone especially your staff member Denzel he was so lovely and friendly, I will definitely be back there when I’m feeling hungry on a cheeky Thursday night haha! Food was amazing, steak was delicious, lemme not even talk about the mash, absolutely perfect Omds, flat iron Shoreditch I’m proud>>>>>

Went to Flat Iron for the first time and was definitely not disappointed, great for a spontaneous night out too. It was amazing meeting Denzel, pure and beautiful soul with excellent customer service. Due to lovely staff as well as lovely food, I will certainly be back.

I want to sincerely thank you Maria for the excellent service you provided during our dinner. From the moment we arrived, you made us feel very welcome, and your friendly and professional attitude made all the difference. We especially appreciated your attention to detail.

Great for value, loved the drinks and all the food, Jonathan was amazing and took great care of our big party ✌🏼💪🏼
