Rosa's Spitalfields in Tower Hamlets

C’est franchement un super endroit pour manger thaï avec prix très démocratiques pour le quartier. C’est un endroit très agréable pour partager un bon moment. C’est une cuisine très traditionnelle. Pas de chi-chi . Les produits sont très bons et très frais. Vaut mieux réserver pour aller ….

Not too keen on the "oldies" interior decor nor the cramped seating arrangements, but the food was great served efficiently by friendly staff. Recommend the haddock along with some of their drought ale to wash it all down 🍻

... I would say you should pay a visit to a legend and discover it. . ONE visit is okay. Fish perfect. Calamaris... well... chips... well... fish sauce well...

I had the most basic cod fish and chips and it was delicious. I liked it because it had no thorns and was full of thick meat. Since it wasn't seasoned separately, I felt it tasted best with a sprinkle of lemon and salt. Those who find it difficult to take on the challenge will find it easier to approach if you think of it as a Korean fish cutlet!

Delicious😚very big portion. Take away is way moreeee cheaper then dine in

Poppies fish is very good, the rest of the meal not so good. Chips are just frozen potatoes, tartere comes in a tiny jar and when you ask for more they charge you. This was an expensive meal for what we ordered. Price's are very high for what you get. We have found wonderful fish and chips in local pubs at a reasonable price. Don't believe the YouTubers!

so good food and better service from ashiya and trupthi .We enjoyed so much ¡

Awful service pushing you in and out (we were charged service for taking away?) + extortionately priced fish a chips. Up to 30£ for a plate…

Nothing special, just ordinary quality dishes. There are places for better and much more flavourful fish and chips

The atmosphere is very cool and the fast and friendly service is impressive. The haddock (haddock) was slightly better. We were kindly advised to take Regular, the extra charge is hardly worth it. The fish (or rather the breading) could have a little more taste. Maybe we should have just drizzled vinegar on it.

4.0 Quite okay for a chippy, but nothing special tbh. Chips were a little too soggy For my taste, fish was fine. You get cod, haddock, plaice as options. Quick service.

We were so excited to get to experience Poppies' fish & chips. Following a very good lead from "Taste of London", the description was spot on. This neighborhood spot does not miss on service, portions nor taste. We even got to take a photo w Burak, from the "ToL" tv episode that got us here. The fish & chips were ths best I've ever had. Great crust cooked to perfection and enough to satisfy and this 200#+ man ordered the smaller portion. Dont miss your chance to check out this amazing restaurant staffed by great, proud employees that do the food service profession proud.

Nice place, the food was good and the staff very pleasant!

Lovely looking place, reviews brought me here and I was not disappointed. Staff was very nice. The food is as good as a fish and chips can be.

Pot luck on the size of a medium fish (mine was tiny), mostly batter, not many chips, overpriced for what you get

Perhaps I had huge expectations due to the fame of the place. It's good food and great service.

Retro vibes with delicious, fresh seafood! Would highly recommend this location due to the history and great food and options!

Nothing special! My friend has recommended me this place, as the best fish and chips in town. As per my taste it was just normal fish and chips with a really nice glass of Prosecco. And good vibes and music.

Really loved this place, food was amazing, staff were friendly and atmosphere is chill On top of that they have the cutest ketchup bottle!

Food taste normal ,staff very nice and helpful

Delightful experience. Typical Fish and Chips dish, a must to try in London!

I work outside the UK so when I'm back I try to go for my favourite tastes of home. Only had a quick stopover in London this time and really wanted some good old fish and chips. Saw the reviews and thought how can that many reviews be wrong. Well, unfortunately, they are. Absolute rip off prices for very poor portions. The "large" haddock, for the frankly eye-watering price of £22.95, would not be considered a large by the standard of many parts of the country. The absolutely measly portion of chips is what you can see in the picture. That portion wouldn't be a small in some places. The chips also didn't appear to be freshly chipped and fried, they were more like hospital canteen chips. I suspect they are frozen and not freshly made. In Yorkshire, you can get a positively huge haddock, a massive portion of chips, mushy peas, plus a pot of tea AND bread and butter for less than you will pay for this sub par offering. The final insult is the "optional" service charge that they tack on to your bill without telling you. If you want proper fish and chips, give this place a miss! You and your wallet will thank me. This place is a shameless tourist trap trying to make the biggest buck possible, from people who don't know what they should be receiving.

We went there because the reviews were very good Very average service, not friendly Fish quite good but not crazy Frozen fries and not good But above all overpriced (3 fish & chips and 3 sodas 76 pounds)

The eel jelly is also delicious!

£8 for a very small portion of chips and a single battered sausage... certainly not very good value for money

Everything extraordinary Very good fish & chips, great quality and extraordinary service The price a bit above my means, but well paid The waiter, charming

Best restaurant Ive been to in London. The haddock changed my life and my views of food. Fish

Place to try good fish & chips.

Nice little restaurant in 50s style. The service was very friendly and helpful, the food came quickly and the portion was decent. Gladly again. If you're looking for classic fish & chips, you've come to the right place. Very cozy. Gladly again.

Really delicious fish and chips. Had the large Haddock with mushy peas. Chips, tartar sauce and a lemon wedge come on the plate too. Only downside is that its a bit pricey but for central London, what do you expect.

Amazing fish and chip. The fish was awesome. Worth value take away

Everything was great until my entire family got food poisoning. Be aware. We ate nothing afterwards. So no other suspect. 10/08/24 around 4-5 pm.

Had the seafood platter and haddock, highly recommended!

The fish was very crispy and tasty, the fries were okay. As a tourist you should definitely be careful when paying in cash. I don't want to accuse anyone of this being intentional. However, we paid with a 50 pound note and then received 10 pounds too little back. Luckily we noticed, spoke up and then got the 10 pounds

I had never tried this typical British dish, and I can say that I loved it, very well served, great quantity and quality! The staff were super helpful and friendly!

Tiny vintage place which took me to late 1960s :) tasty food; nice, caring and funny staff. Definitely is worth visiting

If you want a quality, tasty real fish and chips in London, this is the place for you! Tasty fish with perfect fries, add a few smashed peas and it's perfect! The food is served very quickly and the regular size is easily enough for a good meal! We will be back!

Great food especially the Crispy Chicken Fried Rice with Thai Ice Coffee - Service was excellent. Good location near Spitalfields Market.

The food was really good but “optional” service charged included automatically. Even though we didn’t choose it , they just including it

Best fish & chips I have ever had in the world… first time here & it was amazing… the food Wass delicious & staff was great. With all the photos & decor is amazing Highly recommend coming here

The fish was delicious, but I can't say the same for the fries. The ambiance is successful, the staff is friendly.

Brilliant service staff was excellent food was amazing will go again.

Nice fish and chips in a cute location. Wouldn’t say this is the best fish and chips I have had but it’s a nice experience regardless.

Take out, overpriced and over cooked chips. Shoreditch fish and chips way nicer, cheaper and bigger portions. Disappointed in my hard chips and tasteless steak pie 😔

Terrible tourist trap that was in no way genuinely 'established in the 50s' nor is a 'legend of the east end' or whatever it's pay-to-spray graffiti claims. This restaurant offers average food to tourists and has done since 2015 or so... Flotsam washed up on the wave of gentrification that feeds off the heritage it loosely claims to espouse.

I didn’t receive any order and it’s showing that my order has delivered!!!

I had the Summer Spring Rolls that were great but could use a different sauce, something closer to a Nouc Cham rather than a chili sauce similar to what you can get yourself in a grocery store. I also got the Chicken Pad Thai and the sauce was off there too, it didn’t taste like the Pad Thai’s I’ve had in Thailand but was too rich and it didn’t feel home made here either. However, I did finish everything on my plate regardless. It wasn’t bad just not as expected. I would come back but would go for the curries next time, they looked delicious.

The atmosphere is very inviting. Staff is very attentive and nice. Food overall was decent. I wish the fish and chips had a little more flavor.

Good fish and chips. The atmosphere is also very nice.

Saw the high reviews in Google and decided to give it a try at this restaurant, but I left with great disappointment. As shown in the photos, the calamari rings were shockingly small portioned for its price. It wasn’t a side dish but a proper appetiser at a regular price! Unbelievably overpriced! As for the fish, it was clearly refried and not up to par. This might be a restaurant with a long history but the food speaks for itself.

Really nice environment with good food. Some waiters needs to be more friendly, some are excellent.

Bad atmosphere, the waiters were not careful and always in a hurry. Those aside, that was the most unflavoured fish I've ever tasted, the chips were soggy, and the tartar sauce had absolutely no taste. Never again.

A very good fish and ship. Nothing to complain about 🙂

Sticky toffee pudding was to die for!

Great food and amazing service. Ate there yesterday with family, and all of us enjoyed our Fish & Chips accompanied with delicious orders of Mushy Peas, Curry sauce, and a gherkin. Excellent. Will go there again next time in London :)

Fish & chips is not the best in London; the fries didn't have much flavor nor did the fish.

Great seafood… if you drown it in tartar, ketchup, and salt.

The perfect place to taste fish & chips. The fries were not salted, but that can be solved with a salt shaker :) The environment was nice, there was not a long wait for the food. 10/10

Poppies is a chain of fish and chips restaurants in London. That being said, they do a good job in selling decently solid English fair to the masses, especially to tourists. The food is tasty and fresh, and the portions are generous, though it is a bit on the pricey side in my opinion. I tried mushy peas for the first time there, and as an American, I was surprised that they reminded me so much of split pea soup. Poppies' mushy peas were delicious, though I suspect they could have been a bit thicker. The decor is overwhelmingly patriotic and British which is kind of fun if you are visiting from a different country and have kids/teens with you. The service is good and the interior bright and clean. If you don't mind paying a bit more for dining in it's a fun place to try. However I don't see it becoming a local's personal weekly chippy, for that you're better off finding a local onw that is run by surly fried fish slinger, who barely converses, and takes only cash.

Nice, clean and safe place. They offer dishes in adequate portions and very good flavor.

Delicious fish and chips! Crispy batter and perfectly cooked. Their tartar sauce was also nice. They are also accommodating of allergies and dietary needs. The fish is halal (no beer batter) and they also cooked my sister's meal in vegetable oil instead of nut oil.

Just brought a small fish and chips to share with a friend. We visited the Brick Lane branch, which has a takeaway section and find in. As usual the chips were hot, crispy and moreish and the fish translucent and flaky with perfect crispy batter. This meal was the perfect snack while walking around You can dine in without making booking. The shop is bright and retro and the quality of the food on all occasions I’ve visited has been fresh and tasty. Staff are polite and professional and were kind enough to allow me to wash my hands. Fortunately, the weather was lovely and so we sat in a nearby picket park.

Everything delicious. Highly recommended

Fish & Chips mediocre but above all very expensive

Hunted down Poppies Fish and Chips based on the online reviews, a twenty-minute walk past a few other "fish and chip establishments". The service (welcomed to the roped off area for dining in ... I was on my own, so was given the single seater "lucky no 7" table ...), was instant and friendly. Lots of waiting staff to serve you within seconds. The food was lovely, succulent and tasty. And a glass of prosecco helped it all down. Probably the beat fish and chips I've had in London. Worth a visit. It would be a little expensive for a large group ... but this is a restaurant if you eat in, not a take away fish and chip shop, and as such, well priced.

Old is cool. Amazing atmosphere. Delicious fish & chips. Very nice staff.

Best fish and chips I’ve had in the UK, price is very good for the portion and quality. Although there’s only one person serving, five stars well deserved

the fish (haddock) was fried to perfection, tartar sauce was smashing but the curry sauce was really the cherry on top. best traditional fish and chips i have ever had!

Wildly wildly expensive, I live here and should have known. Chips not crispy, fish is oily and almost £5 for a battered sausage.

Recommended by the hotel. Great location. Quick service. Big portions.

Nice ambience, fresh fish , cute décor

It was a bit more expensive than I expected. Take away prices are much cheaper. But they have great food and excellent service.

Great place to experience fish and chips, definitely 😋

Try something famous food in town

I have the best fish and chips here 👍🏻👍🏻

I Went on Saturday the 8th in the evening and the staff was so king , I didn’t catch the name of this specific lady that took good care of me and my husband but she was amazing thank you ❤️

Classic British fish and chips, steak pie, haddock, cod, calamari, mashed peas, eel and more. The dining room is full of memorabilia and British retro decor. Love it.

Our hotel concierge referred us here and it was definitely worth the walk in the rain!

food was great. probably one of the best fish and chips. service was a bit slow.

Very good Fish & Ships, with rock n' roll musical atmosphere

Impromptu stop for dinner on Saturday and we were delighted. Fragrant red curry, lovely sticky rice and beautiful noodles. Wasn't sure what to expect as we'd never been before. The restaurant is quite small and informal, which was quite nice for a quick bite to eat. Service was good and food came pretty quickly. The food was absolutely delicious, packed with flavour and really satisfying. Will definitely be back.

Can’t visit England without eating some fish and chips. So I did. I got high expectations for the food, which didn’t quite met. Price is way too high for the amount of food you get. Fish and chips were average for me. A fish meal, a side dish and two drinks were almost £30. Employees were nice and helpful.

Love this place, best and freshest fish, a must on a visit to the east end 🥰

I ordered Haddock and it was fine. It was nice that the servers were friendly and gave good menu recommendations. + Lemonade is delicious.

The restaurant is very basic, however nice and clean. Quite small so would advise booking. The food was excellent, authentic, flavourful and well presented. Reasonably priced as well. Would definitely recommend and return.

Tourist trap unfortunately, the fish and chips weren't tasty at all and were a crazy price.

I haven't been in years! It was just before noon and my child was hungry. So I thought on a rainy day an order of take-away chips would hit the spot! At first they were decent but at the bottom we both spat some out they were so stale and disgusting. I'm absolutely REVOLTED. I know an order of chips for £3.70 isn't a huge profit generator but to serve stale chips is absurd and disgusting. Chucked a third of the box in the bin. Won't ever go back. I'd rather trek all the way to Toff's in Muswell Hill!!!

Best Fish & Chips in London!! Super nice place, the staff are welcoming

This gave me 1950s diner vibes. The staff could not have been more courteous. I did find the fish a little bland but I did get the cod which is the healthier option compared to the haddock which is a lot fishier. I was recommended to substitute the chips with peas. I paid about 28 pounds total, for one person which was dinner and a beer. It felt like a lot of money for something that wasn't that good.

Fish was average, chips were the worst chips I've had in a very long time, the portions are small and by the time you remove all the green/ black chips you are left with about 8 chips!

This what I always imagined fish and chips in London to be. Large piece of crispy fish, cooked perfectly, a pile of chips and a side of mushy peas. Poppies does is well. The place has a great nostalgic theme, and the staff is fast and friendly. It's efficient and tasty.

WOW!!! The food was most probably the best that I have experienced lately. I chose the cod bites and chips and saveloy drenched down by a Ben Shaws Cream Soda!!! All spot on, and the price was on point!

Great breading and all dishes are freshly prepared. We recommend.

The food quality was good. There was just three of us, we ordered one large Haddock meal to share, one kids meal and very basic soft drinks. The total came to over £40. Rip off inner London prices. Can get more food, same quality, for just over £20 from my local fish and chip shop in outer London/Kent.

Seriously disappointing. I ordered regular cod with large chips and a curry sauce. The cod was tiny and the chips were lukewarm and hard. The curry sauce was passable. Also, it was overpriced for what I was presented with. Perhaps Poppies have simply become complacent knowing that endless tourists will continue to pour in. But for anyone that loves fish and chips, avoid!

An ideal place to enjoy quality fish & chips.

Best fish and chips I have tasted in a long time. My friends say they are best fish and chip outside of Yorkshire she has ever tasted. Mushy peas delicious curry sauce great My friend took me there can't believe I have missed this gem. I have lived in London all my life. I will be bringing my brother who is visiting from London for the first time in August and first thing he wants to try is fish an chips .recommend this lovely chippie.

Nice little restaurant but way too busy. Don't mind tables being reasonably close together but it felt very cramped. Service was ok but felt a bit rushed, which is a shame as the food was very good. Not sure I'd return to this particular branch but would try another Rosa's in the future.

My husband ordered fish and chips for the kids and I ordered the regular for the adults. It's surprisingly normal and easy. The interior of the store has a 70's retro feel, and the staff's uniforms match the interior, making it feel like you've traveled back in time. I paid in cash rather than cashless, and the staff came to take my order. Everyone was friendly and the store was full of tourists! I think you should try it at least once. Since it's a franchise, I don't know if each store is the same, but it was about a 3 minute walk from Liverpool Street station.

We came here a few years ago and I felt the food and service was much better at that time. This time the fish and chips was ok but most of the food and the service was for sure less than to be desired. Do not more the calamari starter. This was a £7 item and we received exactly 7 small rings. That was not worth it for something that appears to be previously frozen and then fried. As with most things in the UK nothing had any seasoning. Pale people just suck at enjoying food with seasonings and spices. We probably will not choose to go back for a future visit.
