Hawksmoor Spitalfields in Tower Hamlets

amazing food. seriously amazing.

Absolutely FANTASTIC service from a range of different servers. It was my partner's birthday, and they really made an effort. Top roast as well of course!

Another outstanding steak experience in Hawksmoor!

Food outstanding - we chose our wine but our waiter gave us a sample of his recommendation which was very good indeed and cheaper than our selection! This is not cheap but the quality is outstanding - very highly recommended in my opinion.

Legendary Steak House in the heart of trendy Shoreditch. Pricey, but worth it for a birthday or other special occasion/celebration or if ya minted! Starters are amazing desserts are delicious and steaks are melt in the mouth superb. Staff and service is excellent. Highly recommend this place

The service was brilliant, however the food was a little bit of a let down. 3 of the 6 dishes were brilliant, however the remaining 3 were a but of a disappointment. The steak had very clearly been sitting under the heating lights for a while whilst all the other food was cooked so it could all be brought out at the same time, and the fillet steak for the surf & turf was completely over cooked. Overall, a great time was had, but it's just such a shame these small things went wrong, especially as the prices aren't cheap - everything needs to be spot on.

Food was lovely staff very helpful and attentive but not overly so.

We have noticed since our last visit which was at the Guildhall venue, the quality and portion of the starters and sides have gone down but the prices have increased. We will not be coming back anymore.

Had the best time! Food amazing, service even better! We had our 7th anniversary meal, they were more than accommodating! Even giving us a special gift with our dessert!

Awesome. The original and best branch. Best steaks in London.

Great atmosphere! Fabulous service. The waiters were very attentive and friendly. They made my experience so amazing!

This visit wasn’t the same as my previous experiences. Although the staff were polite, helpful and resolved my issue around a small complaint around the final billI left there feeling slightly distraught and judged for challenging the bill.

Our steaks were amazing - beautifully cooked to the correct temperature. Really surprised they do not serve mushrooms and the chairs/ seats were not the most comfortable. That said we all left very happy and satisfied!!

Booking via OpenTable was a breeze! I love Hawksmoor for their steaks. It was lunch time so was very busy. The food is always top-notch. However, after our starters, it took half an hour for our mains to arrive. Very unlikely so when I asked the waiter, she said that there was a delay. Finally when our food arrived, we loved it. To compensate, they didn’t charge for the sides.

Another great meal with a friend. Service was brilliant as always and no rushing you from the table for the next sitting.

Expensive, but good meat good service

our server Enriko is legit the GOAT. i hope u remember the two loud crazy filo girls stalking their friends date 😭 i hope we didnt cause too much of a ruckus 😝 we really appreciated the recommendations and spilling the tea to u and the updates the whole time. someone give him a raise or promotion please!!!!!!

Expensive... Friendly staff, but really expensive compared to its peers

Outstanding and generously portioned steak as usual. The other diners had the roast and it was apparently fabulous. Special mention to the caramel rolos.

Had the lunch and drink special (rump steak and chips and Tunnock's old fashioned) which were delicious, and service was great !

Food was excellent and cooked to perfection. Beautiful ambience friendly service well worth a visit will come again. Thank you Harry for looking after us.

5 Stars all the way. Absolutely delicious food and amazing service. Our waiter was brilliant. First time to Hawskmoor and highly recommend.

Very good food and service. The rump steak was surprisingly good for £20 but cost of drinks etc. we're a little steep. Overall very enjoyable

We had a lovely meal in January at Hawksmoor, very good value. We were given the wrong items originally but we explained we'd ordered something else and they rectified it quickly.

Fantastic food and exceptional service. Best steaks in London.

Made to feel like I’m the most important person!! Hope they read this, your location is perfect been to a few other locations and the reception by a few members of staff made my dad not want to go back, this spot as got everything right staff are friendly and happy. Went into the kitchen with my dad to say hi to the chefs and even though they were working hard they took the time out to say hello. Management perfect, front of house perfect, other costumers were smiling and in good sprites, mum and dad loves this place and I can see why food was premium quality decorations perfect. Can’t wait to come back Thank you hawks Ajla-Rae

An excellent meal at the Hawksmoor. All three courses were very good.

Excellent meat and I was absolutely amazed with the pavlova rhubarb dessert. Not expected in this type of restaurant. Highly recommended. Very noisy (it was a Saturday night) Booking essential

Delicious meal and fantastic service! Can’t fault it!

Ambience, good Food, good Dessert, good Service, good Cocktails, not so good

Excellent service with very generous portions. Sunday roast is nice but the "pink" cut of rump is borderline blue.

It was ok. The meat was lovely. The rest mediocre. Maybe it was an off-day, or just a January lacklustre experience. We’ll see. I’ve had better, I’ve had worse. But for £30 for a basic roast, you’d want more.

Staff were excellent as I’m Coeliac and they helped me with the menu items that I could have. Disappointed that I couldn’t have chips or roast potatoes. Question is why are roasties being done in a fryer? Anyway my food was a special order and was great just sad I couldn’t have the whole menu. Biggest problem was my wife and son both had the roast beef which they both said was very fatty. The dog did well when we got home. Another question is about the roast potatoes again. If I cook them at home everyone wants them super crispy, however Hawksmoor put them inside the Yorkshire puddings making them soft. If I’d had them I would have been really disappointed that they went soft. I’d say staff 100%. Food nearer 50%. Sorry Hawksmoor were disappointed

This place is unbelievably good. I must have left a review last year when a steak we’d ordered wasn’t quite to our standard, because when we arrived today a note had been placed on our account and most of our meal was complimentary! Such a personal touch. The Sunday roast was a delicious birthday treat for me and my family. We are patrons for life!

Every aspect of Hawksmoor was great. My only gripe is the pricing. We were made to order a steak which weighed 500g. No option of a smaller piece. Each 100g slice cost nearly £16, that is a lot for steak in this current climate. I cannot fault the rest. Staff were amazing as was the ambience.

Very good. Excellent service and high quality food.

Excellent service and food. Can’t complain! 5 stars Would throughly recommend!

Thank you for a great evening. The food was outstanding , and all the staff were friendly and efficient, we felt really looked after. Thanks again.

The food was delicious and well presented. The service was exceptional. We started with scallops that were tender and succulent. Our main entree was ribeye and the steak was cooked to perfection served with creamed spinach. We concluded our meal with apple pie and cream and my wife had a sticky toffee pudding that was so delicious. We were visiting London from USA and this rivaled the best steakhouses in NYC.

Food was excellent and the server was amazing! She deserves a raise tbh

Took the wife after rave reviews from my daughter. Food definitely five stars Unfortunately, customer service was a little disappointing, our plates left uncleared way too long , even though our server saw we had finished. This disappointment was redeemed by the genuine polite and friendly service by french server . Will definitely be back with the family.

Fillet steak was very overcooked. Yorkshires were very dry and tasteless. Puddings were good.

Great service even though we came in just for dessert!

Wonderful food. Moist and flavorful steak. Very expensive wine.

This was my 5th time here (Spitalfields), and the first 4 were meals I would talk about for a couple of weeks. today however, 18th January 2025, was one to forget. The Rump steaks we all had was chewy to a point some parts the knife would not cut it, and I had to put several mouthfuls in a tissues as I could not chew no longer. We asked for 3 medium rare, 1 rare, and we got 4 rare. Sadly, we are all hesitant to 'complain' so 2 just ate it, 1 was happy with theirs all be it chewy, and I would have said something if asked as I left half of it, but I wasn't so just left it. To conclude, we will go back as this is the only negative experience in 5 visits, so possibly ' a bad day'.

Great express menu, gorgeous food & great value for money!

Außerordentlich zum Geburtstag meines Mannes- es war von der Begrüßung bis zum Abschied ein toller Abend. Aperitif und Vorspeisen perfekt, Fleisch top. Wunderbar!

Fabulous lunch for my birthday with my partner - our two servers are lovey and made the experience extra special. Food was absolutely amazing too! Thanks team

The staff are just lovely but my husband and I were served with our food quite a few minutes apart. My medium rare steak was blue and when I commented as much this wasn’t picked up. In summary I liked the cherry negronis and not much else. The £19 deal was £169 for 2 so no deal.

Everything is good but no halal or vegan option like tofu salad or something like this but the food was avesome especially sunday roast

Went for the steak, was fine but very overpriced and not as good as Flat Iron which is like half the price. £5 for a small coke and £4 for a sauce is a bit much. Everything was fine but I’d just go Flat Iron next time

I cannot fault this place. Amazing steak, incredible cocktails, and attentive service. Worth every penny.

Nice restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and great food. The service was excellent, thank you to the staff for making a nice experience.

Fantastic Steak and great January deal. Will definitely be coming back next year as it’s more affordable for people like me

Well… used to go here when it first opened and it was brilliant - unfortunately it’s fallen into the tourist fodder of below average steak house Starters of rib and bone marrow were fine but one of the toast slightly burnt but didn’t detract from the dish The rump unfortunately was not right - sinew unchewable and therefore made the whole steak hard work - rump is still not a cheap cut and should be cooked accordingly We chose a £66 South African cab sav - not impressed - weak - no body and a sort of Shiraz quality which I wasn’t expecting so again a little disappointed Such a shame as when I used to go there were maybe 20/30 covers - now it’s 80/120 and a completely different feel Won’t be returning however they did refund a steak and 2 sides and offered a return visit but I’m not sure I’d bother

Great! The meat and the service were amazing. I recommend the rib eye.

What a great roast dinner! We had the rump roast and it was amazing. We also decided to get some sides and I cannot recommend the stuffing enough! Service was so friendly, our server (I think she was called Ashley?) was super lovely. We will definitely return!

One of the best roast dinners I have had in a long time the pineapple soda and is to die for!

I attended with my partner on the 5th and we ordered the shared roast. Our booking was 1:45 and we ordered by around 2:10, we did not get our food for almost a whole hour and the steak came out cold and so did the sides for the roast aside from the Mac and cheese. Our waiter was very attentive however people around us that arrived after us had even been served food long before us. For almost £200 and considering all the food was cold even after taking an hour I wouldn’t attend this branch of Hawksmoor again.

Another fabulous dinner at Hawksmoor with close friends from France visiting London. Delicious meat, perfectly cooked starters and veggies. Harry and Andrea were fantastic hosts. I highly recommend the original Hawksmoor Spitafields

One of the best meals my boyfriend and I have had in a long time! Went as we had received a voucher for our Christmas present but honestly I would go again paying full price. Our server Harry was lovely and answered all the questions we had about steak size and weight, and which sides best went with them. 10/10 experience!!!

Great service and amazing food. Really recommend the beetroot and potted beef starters, so good!!

Having been to their other branches, we were sadly disappointed. The Chateaubriand was dry and over cooked. Sunday Roast was tough and hard to chew. Though the appetiser Fillet carpaccio was delicious. Came hungry, left with a bitter taste in our mouths.

The food was exceptional and the steaks were amazing! Service was great too!

Dined on 31st December for lunch, we are a family of 4, with two young children, so were seated next to a noisy table of 8 when the rest of the tables in the seating area were free - why? I really didnt understand the rationale behind this. We all had fillet steak, the portion sizes were not great, my son's steak was stringy. The Brussel sprouts portion was small, tasty but not an adequate portion size. I couldnt fault the service, the waitress was very attentive. On the whole, an ok'ish experience, not good and definitely not great for nearly 400 pounds.

Amazing food, cocktails and wine. Our waiter was fantastic and we felt really looked after. Outstanding evening thank you!

It was our first visit, for New Year's Eve dinner. The starters were very good; we had the beetroot salad and the Devon Crab on toast. For our mains we had a Sirloin and a Fillet. Both were cooked perfectly as we like. The wait staff was very attentive. All in all a very good dinner.

Had the set menu, think it might be a Christmas thing as there was a large group of us but highly recommended. Bit cosy where we were sat and we were quite crammed in but worth a visit if you are nearby.

Very poor experience, let’s the brand down, good cocktails were redeeming feature.

Lovely meal, not cheap! Great service, thank you!

We received a warm welcome on arrival and given a choice of tables to sit at. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive and gave us great advice on both starters and main course. The crab on toast and roasted scallops were both excellent followed by a porterhouse to share which I am ashamed to admit we could not finish so had to take it home. The sides of beef dripping chips and macaroni cheese were beautiful. The chips crunchy on the outside but beautifully fluffy on the inside and we definitely appreciated the five cheeses in the macaroni cheese. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert so tried the salted caramel rolos instead. Will definitely be back again.

Very good experience for a first time Sunday roast. The dish was excellent! However, it turned cold a bit too fast the plate needs to be warmer. About the service the waiter was very pleasant and careful. Until next time to try other dishes!

Outstanding! The best possible roast you could hope for. The beef was cooked to perfection, beautifully pink, the vegetables and the gravy were also to die for. I could have eaten 2 of these back to back it was that good.

We went for a classic Sunday roast experience and it did not disappoint. We had both the roast beef and chicken roasts which were just delightful. The peanut butter shortbread was incredible. Great service and lovely ambiance on a Sunday. Highly recommend!

Tasty roast in a lovely restaurant, staff very welcoming.

Wonderful Sunday Lunch! Brought my mother and father in law for the first time…they really enjoyed it!

Delicious roast. The service (by all three servers and front of house) was incredibly friendly and professional. Very informed and accomodating of my gluten-free guest.

The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. The staff were also very helpful and pleasant. The only thing I could say was there wasn't enough staff. We waited about 50 mins from the moment we entered the building to actually having any food to eat. The drinks took around 25 mins for us to also receive. Everything we had was perfect just felt we were waiting around.

The best roast ever eaten ! this gourmet experience It's value and the help of Attia has been really important! Her suggestions, savoir faire, education and way of communicating with guest has been unforgettable. We'll return!

Perfect meal, drinks and service. I’ve never had a bad experience at Hawksmoor - this branch in particular. The atmosphere is always great, staff are attentive and helpful, and the food is tremendous quality and value. Many thanks for another lovely visit.

Ambiente informale e familiare, servizio amichevole e veloce. Abbiamo assaggiato il famoso arrosto della domenica accompagnato da delle ottime birre locali. Consigliamo vivamente questo locale, sia per la qualità del cibo sia per il servizio simpatico e il conto economico. Grazie mille!

Fantastic food and lovely staff, highly recommend!

Great service but was asked to vacate table soon after I asked for the bill even though we were finishing our wine.

Excellent food and service. Always busy Sunday lunchtime

We had a wonderful experience at Hawksmoor Spitalfields, we took my mum for her birthday and the team made a great fuss over her. A fine evening.

Walked in seating for Sunday roast, was advise about 90 min seating which would be fine if only they did not take our order for first 10 min. Food arrived 30+ min after. We finished the super unfat dry steak and average sides in 20 min (bone marrow was the only great dish). Asked for dessert, with 25 min to spare, waiter came back after 5 min and told us there wasn't enough time. The fastest service was the bill which came one min after.

Food was great. The service staff need to take a minute to slow down. Twice they poured wine for us _ and spread it over over the table. When the mains were served _ they plates where slung at the guests. Perhaps the plates where hot granted, so take provisions to present in gentle manner. For the price we paid, can’t say I’d recommend.Rubbish service ruined it. Unremarkable

Everyone enjoyed their stakes, but I had the scallops followed by chicken, which was fantastic. We'd forgotten the wine we liked before but again were recommended a very good red. Great food and service.

Always have the best time at Hawksmoor. Food and service was 💯

An enjoyable experience in Spitalfields. The sirloin was grilled to a perfect medium rare, and the anchovy hollandaise was a revelation. The bill for just me was well over £100, but half of that was drinks, so no surprise. Overall, Hawksmoor delivers exactly what they promise: serious beef, good service, and a memorable meal.

Great experience as always at Hawksmoor, especially at this branch. Food was really good and the service impeccable. Thanks for hosting us.

La mejor noche en Hawksmoor. Tres amigos que se conocen desde la uni, primero disfrutaron del carpaccio y el cangrejo de Devon seguido de dos increíbles filetes. No había estado antes y tuvimos un servicio maravilloso del muy brillante Harry. Que era absolutamente encantador y nos mostró un tiempo fabuloso. Volveremos. Harry, gracias por cuidarnos tan bien.

Excellent meal, steaks cooked to perfection and all of the sides delightful.

Very noisy restaurant but decent enough food. Table spacing was too close for a 5-star experience

Had a lovely meal and evening ,great service a little load with all the Xmas groups .

Always a pleasure. The food and drinks always exceptional. Service always impeccable. The party included a vegetarian and they were blown away with their choices. Was a special occasion and couldn’t have picked a better place. To keep these standards on an incredibly busy period is impressive. No bill has ever felt less than value for money, no matter the amount. Thank you Hawksmoor.

Nice lunch and well looked after. I'll certainly be returning soon.

Very loud and seemed to get louder overtime, you could barely hear each other on your table unless you shouted like everyone else. Overall amazing food as always

Overall very good. Food was fine as was the service and the team coped well considering how busy the restaurant was.

Delicious Sunday roast in lovely, cosy surroundings. It's a bit more pricey than other places but definitely worth paying a bit extra for.
