Temper in City of London, Westminster

Delicious good with exceptional service! I highly recommend it

An amazing roast from the smokehouse! This basement hotspot is a vibe with great music, good drinks and good food, all emitted from the centrepiece of the open kitchen and bbq. We started with some pork tacos to share, then the best of British rare breed beef dry-aged for superb texture and flavour, cooked on an open fire and served with all the trimmings, beef fat roast potatoes, giant Yorkshire puddings, honey glazed carrots and gravy. The house red is also an excellent pairing.

Have been a few times and the food is always top notch. Most recently went for taco Tuesday. They charged me £3 for a small pot of chipotle mayo. Didn’t want it and didn’t order it. Left feeling a bit ripped off. Probably won’t return. Very disappointing

Having had the opportunity to go to several of the Temper restaurants, it feels like the Soho location is a bit in flux. A meat/grill centric establishment the subterranean dining room is spacious yet intimate. The space is centered around the open kitchen where you can see the range of meats prepared. The menu is primarily made up of small shareable dishes like an array of tacos, sides and other larger dishes. This visit I kept it to the small dishes and did the burnt ends tacos, shrimp tacos, crab tacos, cornbread and beef fat potatoes. Having eaten at Temper Soho several times, this most recent visit was the first that raised the concern that the jewel in the Temper crown may not still be the Soho location. While each dish was well prepared overall, the inconsistent temperature and flavor profile of each dish across the meal (two tacos = 1 dry and cold and cooked to perfection for example) was perplexing to say the least. That being said if you like bbq and grilled selections Temper is still worth giving a try. You may consider one of their other locations though for a fresh take though.

Was very disappointed. Music was deafening (so loud we could not have a conversation). It felt more like a bar / club, than a restaurant. Food was okay. Steak great, but rest not so great. If you looking for a nice place to enjoy one a glass of wine, relaxing ambience and good steak then definitely not the place.

Food wasn’t great but nice atmosphere

Really cool atmosphere, it was dark but open kitchen and groups of up to 3 can sit by bar. We weren’t offered that on our booking of 3 but good to be away from the smoke. Tacos Tuesday was great - the margaritavilla drink was just simple tho reminded me of the Costco ready made margarita; funnily enough the goats cheese taco was our fave, then the burger one, burnt ends taco was just ok.

Food was amazing... Especially the cauliflower cheese and the size of the Yorkshires are huge! Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely go back again. Surprised that there wasn't a vegetarian option on the Sunday menu.

Great service and atmosphere. We sat at the bar which is great as it looks onto the grill area!

service was amazing! food was great too. tessa gave us great service and inman was great too! absolutely amazing will definitely come back

Great music when your enjoying the fantastic food.Quick service,try and get seats on the bar a watch the chefs cooking your food on the open fire 🔥

Quite a disappointing experience all in all. The food was ok, tacos were fairly good and but a few people in our party didn’t particularly like the steak. The sides were great. The wines are just ok. Most things were quite expensive for their quality. Service was not good, our waiter forgot one of the parties orders and we had to call him back so they could order. Then towards the end of the evening he disappeared completely, it didn’t seem like anyone replaced him so we had a hard to flagging down anyone. It took ages to get the bill. Considering our party spent over £100 a head this should have been a far better experience than it was

Amazing experience, staff were amazing and the chef was incredible, will definitely be coming back again!

Very good but wow the tortilla chips that came with the guac were REALLY greasy

Came here with friends for the Sunday roast and wow it was amazing! Highly recommended. Very nice ambience and service too.

Had a great time food was great. Perfect service from Teresa. Made the date 10x better. Will definitely be back here.

It was horrible. My friends received food that were not ordered by us. We were sat with large party so very hard to move around restaurant. The waitress was great. Very apologetic by the way the restaurant was, but it wasn’t her fault. She served us very good. Won’t come back!

Loved the picanha and the pork tacos. Friendly wait staff. The service was busy and were delayed bringing the wine with the steak.

Steak was great. Porterhouse and t bone were the order of the day. Good wine selection too.

Atrocious night. The food was delayed and we received kept sides that we did not order. The steak was overcooked, drinks were bitter and nasty. Sham had to continuously apologise for the rate of the service, however my family and I found her patient and brilliant. I would not come here again.

Sham, our waitress, was great! No complaints. She knows how to deal with clients, she took care of me and my friends. She was well prepared about the food and the ingredients. She is great in customer service, she needs a promotion and a pay rise. For real, Very well done!!! 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere: … well, the music was way too loud and I had to shout to talk to my friends sitting in front of me. The food: tapas were delicious, and they came quite on time after we order them. As soon as we received the tapas, at 8pm, we ordered the steaks straightaway. I order medium cooked sirloin with salad. It came at 9.38pm, it was well done, I ate it because I was famished. 1h38 minutes to deliver the order is way too long, so we complained to the manager who sorted everything out and we got discount. The cocktails were way too strong, I couldn’t finish mine. I could taste only the alcohol. Very bad. Not impressed with the meat at all, but considering is a steakhouse, well… it’s bad.

we had the BEST sunday roast!!! the location was amazing and the staff very friendly. totally recommend this place

Great food/drinks and great service from Teresa

I was really looking forward to this roast as recommended by a friend. I ordered a lamb roast main. The quality of my meal was sub-par, I was expecting much better quality and portion. The pulled lamb was sloshy and full of fat, and I received one mouthful of mashed potatoes on my plate. My meal and drink cost £36. Quite disappointing really.

Probably the best Sunday roast I’ve had in London, while not totally traditional, it was so delicious!

What a shame, they've redesigned the menu so it works for them, not for customers. Gone are the delicious sharing plates... now we must choose from measly tacos or sharing a steak (expensive and weird!). Yet another once-nice small chain that lost its soul and lost its way. I have no plans to return and will tell others not to bother. PS. They should tell their customers that they've changed the menu this dramatically, when we book. I feel conned, I would have gone elsewhere if I'd known. There are plenty of better places than this.

Smoked Sunday roast with Aperol spritz. Try to sit on the counter so you can enjoy looking at your food preparation

Came here with a group of friends including a vegan who was very well catered for - considering the restaurant is known for grilled meats! We came on a Sunday so roasts all round. We also had a selection of tacos which were absolutely delicious. Crab taco particularly tasty! I went for the roast beef. The beef was cooked perfectly and had a smoky taste. A couple of things which detract however - beef was a little chewy and they could have been more generous with the roast potatoes, they were tiny! Service was very good.

Service and good was amazong can't fault it

Eat down stairs in the lovely restaurant, fire roaring cook all the food, staff friendly food fabulous it has an beautiful bar on the first floor with a very beautiful look.

Modern restaurant - open grill in the basement, great ambience, excellent steaks and surprisingly good cocktails 👌🤗

We had lunch in this beautiful settings restaurant. Amazing food and great energy. Sam the manager very professional and Calvin the waiter very kind. We'll come back!

Great food and lots of it! Lovely open kitchen, I love seeing the chefs cooking up a fiery storm. Our server, Diamonte, was gracious, knowledgable and attentive. Definitely coming back!

The brisket was fantastic and the steak was cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. Unfortunately, the steak was served luke warm. I think this was due to the cold plate it was served on. I expect more for a 70 dollar steak. But the place is fun and the staff is very friendly.

Steak and the tequila-coffee-ice cream affogato-style dish were exceptional. Friend had the tacos, lamb was delicious. Great gaff.

I’ve heard amazing things about this restaurant and they exceeded my expectations. The food and cocktails were incredible, some of the best steak i’ve had and service was impeccable, I really cannot fault this place. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking and will definitely be returning back!

Steak was delish but the side order of potatoes 🥔 noooope bit greasy and bit tiny

we had an amazing time at Temper. food is soooo yummy and on point. cheers to chef🤌🏻 friendly staff especially our waitress Nagi🥰 definitely will come back🙂

Had a wonderful time for my first visit to temper Soho with some friends. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The food and cocktails were all delicious and we had amazing service provided by Nagi <3

Nice steaks and an open kitchen

Sat at the counter having been given the choice and the relaxed ambience was greatly appreciated. The lighting was perfect as to not be harsh but also not make you drowsy. Our server - Nadji (I assume that spelling) was lovely and I appreciated her hospitality and friendly nature. The service was quick considering the busy evening time and the food was great. Thank you Nadji and the rest of the team at temper!

Steak was amazingly cooked. Tacos are a bit bland and greasy - not what I expected The burrata is nice but not worth the price. The hispi cabbage was really good, the bernaise sauce a bit too rich and overpowering though

Our party had heard good things about Temper. We left disappointed, straight after the mains, having even returned some of them. Our complaints are as follows: - We were told dishes were for sharing, but most came out with just two portions - The allergy menu was like trying to navigate Sherlock Holmes' mind palace: we were told half the things on the allergen menu weren't always available at that branch, so we had to spend ages cross checking the allergen list against the menu. Why not just have allergens for that branch on the menu? - The guac was flavourless. Literally no seasoning/spice/garnish/lemon/lime. Nothing! - Two bowls of beef fat potatoes had obviously been reheated, badly, as they were cold in the middle. Others were just burnt. They tasted awful and we returned them. - The tacos came plopped on some prawns, sodden in sauce, making it impossible to wrap them. The tacos themselves tasted stale. - The cocktails - daiquiri and margaritas - were tasty but not cold. - When several of us complained during the meal, to then be charged £30 for service tells you this place just has contempt for their customers. The redeeming feature-ish was the aged beef nachos. Basically the whole experience cost us £55 a head and we left frustrated and searching for somewhere else to finish our meal. Maybe it was the hype that ruined it, or maybe they were having a bad night, but this place is just not value for money.

Naji as very welcoming and supportive professional.

We came for bottomless brunch. I celebrated my birthday at Temper Soho. They made sure to make my experience special and outstanding. Would 100% recommend. Food was delicious, drinks exquisite. The gem of this place is absolutely the service, attentive and meticulous. Thank you Temper team!

Very good service and good. Would recommend

Great atmosphere lovely staff and food.

Great speedy service and friendly staff. The food was wickedamundo!

Visited on a Saturday and had the bottomless brunch. Wow, beef, pork, sausage, eggs, potatoes, and more. Really well cooked. Friendly staff, welcoming and helpful. Cocktails and wines plentiful. Thank you

Wow!! We happen to come upon this place while walking. Thank god!! We are on vacation from the states. Seriously has been our favorite meal thus far here, but in months!! Atmosphere music was spot on! We don’t leave till next Tuesday and maybe back!! Wow!! Still sitting here as I write this!! lol

Came here for a Sunday roast as had heard great things and we were so impressed. I'm usually fussy with a roast dinner out as its never as good as a home cooked one but Tempers roast was 10/10. So much flavour, generous portion and all arrived hot. Loved the cauli cheese also. Definitely recommend. The staff were so friendly and the service was up there!

Food was OK, at best. The guacamole was incredibly poor for what is ostensibly a Mexican restaurant. Tacos lacked flavour. Perhaps I was spoiled by the flavours of the Mexican stand at the markets that morning which where much, much better. Cocktails weren't nice either.

I recently visited Temper Soho and enjoyed one of the best steaks I've ever had—perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The little taco appetizer was a delightful surprise, bursting with fresh, well-balanced flavors. The charming and knowledgeable chef with a beard added to the experience, sharing insights and making the meal even more memorable. Excellent service and outstanding food make Temper Soho a must-visit.

Amazing food! Best steak I had in London!

Delicious Roast, Great Atmosphere Temper Soho offers a fantastic roast dinner experience with a twist. I had their pulled lamb roast, filling and delicious. Whilst I couldnt have the traditional Yorkshire puds or cauliflower cheese, the rest of the trimmings were GF DF and well presented. The restaurant has a great dim lit vibe, good music and nice tables and you can see the chefs cooking and there's lots of fire and stuff to watch making it perfect for a lively and lovely family meal. Bit of a negative point: the organisation left much to be desired. Despite our family member making reservation a month in advance for 1 PM and paid a deposit for a party of 9, we encountered a significant issue upon arrival. The staff insisted our booking was for 2 PM, even though we had written confirmation for the earlier time. This mix-up was frustrating and could have potentially ruined our plans to get back to our respective destinations up and down the country (to watch the Eng vs Spain final.) It's worth double-checking your reservation before arriving to avoid similar issues. Overall, Temper Soho offers a great dining experience. It's located along Broadwick Street. Another one of my fav areas to go to in London.

Amazing food and great service - highly recommended

Wonderful experience and fantastic service. Team really knew their menu

Decent enough place, we went for the bottomless brunch and it was a good time. Great service, attentive and on the ball

Great food & ambiance, staff were very accommodating of modifying dishes ever-so-slightly based on their recommendations to fit my pregnancy. Will be returning for some delicious creative dishes :)

The steak was amazing. Beautifully seasoned and cooked to perfection, accompanied by cabbage and sweet potato. The tacos really too overpriced a mouthful of a taco at £6.50. Cocktails and wine excellent. Service impeccable. Shame about the loud music couldn't even have a conversation. Sorry tacos and music just let it down otherwise a five star review.

The experience at this restaurant was exceptional from start to finish. The meat, with an unparalleled tenderness, stood out for its excellent quality, surpassing my expectations with every bite. The service was impeccable, with attentive and professional staff who added significant value to the evening. As for the price, I found it fair and balanced considering the high quality of the food and the overall experience. Without a doubt, I recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable and high quality culinary experience.

I am currently travelling London with my partner (we are all the way from New Zealand), and was lucky enough to be taken to Temper for dinner and drinks. The atmosphere was so unique and set a great vibe, and the food was an absolute 10/10. We ordered a large variety of food and everything was amazing - especially the pork rib & sweet potato. Also cannot say no to a good margarita! 🍹 and of course the service was an absolute 10/10 too, thank you to Naji Enneas and Didi for looking after us x Will be telling all my New Zealand family and friends about this gem x

Oh Temper… where do I start? Heard some wonderful reviews of the place via some friends so we arrived with high expectations! The food was honestly outstanding, the ribs were a must try! The standout was the service, extremely attentive, welcoming and knowledgeable! Thank you Didi and Naji for and excellent time, we will definitely be back soon

Have eaten @ temper a number of times in the past and had always had a good experience, but I visited on Saturday while the bottomless brunch was going on - and even though eat off the A la Carte the food was very very bad. I think this is down to the brunch - and would not go again while it is on!

My friend and I enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant, which was vibey, in a basement style setting with an open kitchen/ open flame visible to the restaurant. The margaritas were delicious and so was all of the food. I would have given Temper 5 stars if it wasn’t for the waitress who upsold us. She told us the sharing plates were tiny and insisted we order more, but when the food came there was so much we could barely fit all of it in front of us, let alone eat all of it. Better that you order sharing plates as you go and see how you feel, otherwise feels wasteful and an unnecessary expense.

Food here was good but personally we thought the atmosphere was a bit odd. Majority of lighting for our table was from the glass pavement blocks above this basement restaurant. Just gave it a bit of a dingy feel. We moved into a booth because although the place was fairly empty at that time, the loud music made it difficult to have a conversation across the table. Staff were lovely but over attentive. I get it was quiet but no need to ask us every 5mins if we’re ok. Some might like the place but not for me again.

Temper in Soho is wicked venue the tacos are wicked the supervisor bartender Alex and rest of the team is welcome too it good place for a date spot or drink and light bites too , dinner

atmosphere was great, food came out fast and our server alexandra was the best very friendly and sweet

Such an amazing Father’s Day lunch! The service was spot on and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

Lovely food and atmosphere, Aletheia was so sweet 😊😊

Did the bottomless brunch. Could have done with some more bread and/tatties for me, but no biggy. Drinks were tasty. Food was lush. Service was spot on ❤️ Would return. Would recommend.

Great for Sunday roast, three beast feast is good value for money! Drinks are a bit expensive but they do a good spicy Bloody Mary!

Went for the bottomless brunch with my husband. Food was stunning, drinks were tasty and service was rapid fire. Staff arranged a little birthday treat for my husband completely to our surprise. Made our day! Will 100% be back.

It's not cheap, but you get the finest Mexican bbq around. It's spicy incredible bbq in an amazing setting. You've got to try this place.

I don’t usually write reviews but I had to for Temper Soho. Came for a roast with a colleague (delicious 10/10) and we were blown away by the atmosphere. From the moment you walk in you are taken such good care of from the loveliest girls at the door. Shout out to Aletheia, Kelsea, Kie and Youssef. You were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Also thank you for recommending the Brigadeiro cookie it’s my new favourite dessert :) For sure got yourself some new regulars!

This is such a great find in SoHo. The service is amazing, and I especially loved the manager Olia. Get the pork rib!

Service was a little on the slow side but that steak? Wow. Incredible flavours and it was beautifully cooked. Highly recommend the cabbage as well, delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS!

Nice service, both waitresses and cooks. They meet customers' expectations by talking in detail about their dishes. The food is delicious and goes well with the drinks served by the bar. I recommend.

The venue is really nice, the staff are lovely and the meals are huge but unfortunately not a hot meal - I noticed the Yorkshire puddings sitting on the side for at least an hour while I was there but the rest of the roast wasn't hot either. There wasn't any option other than a roast.

Great food, atmospheric music, cool bar seats, brunch is enough for two, excellent attentive service from Deimante.

We hadden trek in lekker vlees. Wat beter dan een BBQ restaurant. Van nutteloze bediening, tot top bediening. Zeer lange wachttijd, welke wel was vermeld. Helaas werd het wachten niet volledig beloond: smaken waren goed, maar porties waren echt héél erg klein.

Nice place, tasty food. I'll come back at least once again

Had a late roast here yesterday and it was amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly. Food came out so speedy and I had lovely service from Aletheia. Will definitely make a return

NEVER AGAIN Food 0/100 The best thing about this restaurant was the waitress’s kindness. A pure disappointment regarding the food!!! The tacos came in a soft DRY as hell, cold absolutely inedible tacos bread. Serving Mexican food with 0 flavour it’s a crime to call it tacos. We took several different dishes and they had all 0 flavours and all DRY DRY DRYYYYYY and cold. Absolutely none of us enjoyed the dinner among the 6 of us. The tacos starters and the mains have the exact ingredients minced meat everywhere absolutely not Mexican and just not good at all. The manager took the order and she sent all the starters with mains everything at the same time just impossible to manage. I really didn’t want to make a scene as it was a birthday but this was extremely upsetting! I kept the service charge only for the waitress otherwise I would have removed it and I probably should’ve. NEVER AGAIN

Very average. Sweet corn side not available. Size of steak not available. Then type of steak not available. Food took way too long to arrive. When it did arrive one of the steaks came well done, when requested medium. Steaks and sides did taste good. The atmosphere is good. Service friendly although the relationship between server and chef is chaotic. They talk about having a 6 metre fire pit. Why not use it? Only 1 chef cooking steaks a maximum of 2 at a time, bizarre. No wonder our steaks took so long to arrive. Poorly managed. Won't return.

Vibrant place. Great food and awesome service. We were sat next to a loud table but they offered to move us straight away. Would definitely come back here

The guacamole is not good, too much lemon The beef picaña very good The tacos are good

This is such a fun spot. We went on Taco Tuesdays and had delicious Tacos and and shared a steak.

It's not that they do not do vegetable dishes, but what they excel at is barbecue. There is a kitchen in the midst of the restaurant, and we were lucky enough to get a seat in front of it so you can see the flames shooting out of the grill.

Decent food, good value especially on their specials like Taco Tuesdays or pre theatre menus. Great, fast and friendly service.

Even though I had a reservation and it was a lot of free tables available I was seated at the counter in front of the open kitchen, which was inconvenient. Sunday roast is good, not the best one , but good and generous portion . Didn’t like gravy though

Absolutely blown away by the roast sweet potato dish! The perfect balance of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors just explodes in your mouth, layer after layer. You simply must try for yourself!

I came here as an American in search of Sunday Roast with some vegetarian options. I am not a vegetarian, but I am always drawn to places that can celebrate vegetables to stand on their own. This place did not disappoint. As this is our first time to British Sunday Roast, we were absolutely spoiled by Heather! She made us feel right at home, she explained the menu in great detail. We brought our own wine, which she corker for us, at a reasonable fee. Heather took care of our every need, and even took the time to write down some other places to try in London. She was so charming! We plan on coming back this Friday to see her before we leave on Saturday. At the front of the restaurant, there is a case which showcases their dry aged beef that was harvested for this restaurant. I am so glad we chose to eat here for Sunday Roast! I will be back next time I am in London 🥰

Our server Rey was so lovely. Great service and great food thank you :)

We sat at the bar to watch the scene of the chefs cooking and I totally recommend you to do the same. The starters were mediocre, but the main courses is where this restaurant shines!! Damn! That prom was something else! We shared the pork, lamb, and roast beef and we were all crazy about the pork. The staff are super sweet and helpful. They took my allergies very seriously and had many available foods, and adjustments for a gluten free diet.

Fantastic fusion Latin food. As an Argentinean myself I can vouch for the quality of the meat they use. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. Excellent presentation and very original twists on some classics. Music is a bit loud but if you go there to have fun you won't be disappointed.

Very good restaurant, the atmosphere was excellent, but the prices are really too excessive.

My visit to Temper was a disappointment. While the restaurant itself was lovely and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful, the food fell short of expectations. I tried their beef-fat potatoes & garlic raclette, a sweet & sour pork rib, and their 60-day aged picanha steak, accompanied by a glass of their Malbec red wine. Although the food took longer than expected to arrive, I hoped it would be worth the wait. Upon their arrival, the dishes looked incredible, and it was evident that care had been taken in their presentation. However, when I tasted each dish, I found them lacking in flavour. Despite requesting the steak to be cooked medium, it was not cooked evenly, so the outer pieces were closer to well done. The pork rib was cooked more carefully but still lacked the expected flavour. While the potatoes were tasty, they weren't enough to overshadow the disappointment of everything else. Considering the meal cost £98, I was severely disappointed by the lack of taste. Overall, I consider Temper a pretty restaurant with pretty food, but not much more.

I went for a Sunday roast with my friend and the food was amazing and we were served by Aletheia and she was so lovely and helpful we will definitely be back!!!

Went on a weekday. Restaurant wasn’t busy so the service was fast. Food was tasty but could be better for the price .
