Orient Kitchen in Southwark

Terrible experience! I work nearby and used to go with coworkers. Their Sunday Roast is excellent so I made a reservation to go with friends on Sunday 22nd September. They offered me two slots at 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. I chose 15.30 and it was confirmed by Sonata. When the day arrived I called early in the morning to let them know if we could postpone it to 4:30 pm because my friend was late, they told me it was no problem. Our surprise was that when we arrived at the place they told us that they did not have our reservation, despite having a written confirmation, and that the kitchen was closed (even though you could see the plates of food coming out of the kitchen to the tables) and that this Sunday was its last day open. If they close the kitchen at 4.30pm, how can they offer us to eat at 5pm? A whole bunch of lies...they left us stranded and didn't bother to offer an apology. The bar staff was the most unhelpful. We had to leave the places without eating and the whole experience was a great disappointment. I will never set foot in this place again... And I absolutely do not recommend it to anyone. They don't value clients!

We hadn't booked and although busy they made room we felt welcome excellent service great food, a bit noisy but great atmosphere

Cené en este restaurante con mi esposa la semana pasada y tengo que decir que el ambiente es excelente, el personal atento y la comida muy sabrosa. Teníamos hamburguesas y carne de cerdo y ambos fueron increíbles. Volveré la próxima semana con algunos amigos más.

Comí comida para llevar aquí unos días mientras visitaba la zona por trabajo y la comida era increíble. Fresco y lleno de sabor no podría recomendar lo suficiente. Las bebidas son refrescantes. El personal es amable y servicial. En general, es un gran lugar para comer y beber cuando visite la zona.

One of the best places to try and learn about exclusive English wines, couple this with Julia's passion and knowledge of the products you can't get any better. Add the passion of the recent explosion of gin into the UK revival what's not to think you should not arrange a visit?
