Tempus Gourmet Garden in Tower Hamlets

The staff are nice guys, very friendly and chatty. Their hospitality and attentiveness cant be faulted.

My first time at this restaurant. Great service from the main waiter throughout. Friendly staff. Thank you for freebies also!

My friends and I visited mid Ramadan to break our fast. Nil by mouth for 18 hours usually means anything being stuffed down your food hole tastes of Michelin star quality. Not quite. They kindly gave us complimentary nachos and salsa to break our fast with. They were pretty sexy for a freebie and it made me optimistic about what was to come. Next up were the starters. I think they were running a set menu for the day and we had the chicken wings and lamb ribs. Again, very promising. Wings were flavourful and succulent. And the ribs were cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. I don't know what sauce they used but it complimented the rib meat really well. Then the mains. This is where things went wrong. I got the plain Jane beef burger, I don't remember what it was actually called but it's the burger with the fewest bells and whistles on their menu, because I'm a boring eater. And it was so underwhelming. The brioche bun was dry and crusty, the flavour from the beef patty was non existent. I've tried to avoid slang in this review but my friend had a bite, shook his head and told me my burger was 'dead' - I'm told this is a derogatory term meaning devoid of taste. The sweet potato fries arrived in a clump and tasted just like they looked, not appetising at all. Service was excellent, there was one guy running around doing everything but he was attentive and patient. All in all, Tempus is one on the London burger run you can afford to miss.

One of the better stakes I have had in a long time when in east london. The restaurant manager was very professional and extremely helpful. Not much to choose from on the menu but never the less all the steak and burger favourites where available. A big fan or peppercorn sauce on my steak but the mushroom gravy was delightfully tasty. Definitely worth future visits. Highly recommended.

My 1st visit after the re-opening, great atmosphere and friendly staff.... special thanks to Hamza, ... You get exactley what on the menu. If you want burger and chips and your in the area or passing through you could do a lot worse.

Went with my friends to try it out as it was close by. Its a decent place to eat but the price is quite a bit for the portions that you get. The burger tasted good and the wedges was good but the portions wasn't to the standard especially the wings as it was £3ish for only two piece wings and it was really really tangy, and it killed of the chicken taste. Overall it was a good place to eat with friends. The interior looks great and feels cosy. Didn't really go to the shisha part of the place seemed like a youth gathering. Would have felt too old.

After a long days work the food was a pleasure to have. Yes a little expensive but honestly the burgers are so big that it's probably worth what you pay. Taste is good too.

Visited twice with hubby and on both occasions they had no steak. why is it on the menu? nevertheless we ordered burgers instead and chips (charged seperately) food is tasty but it's not the dish we wanted. After we ordered milkshakes one of the workers said he was going to th eshop to buy milk and strawberries for the milkshakes, not sure if they keep stock or buy them when ordered! they do not seem to be organised. Anyway will not be going back there again.

Great food and service. Steak cooked to perfection. Burgers were great. Sheesha was great n warm environment.

We were walking past Roman Road looking for a place to eat, and this place seemed quite well presented from the outside. Ordered wings starters and a classic burger for mains. Wings were ok, but nothing special. However, burger was really not worth the £8! I'm not sure whether it was the meat they used or they way it was cooked, the burger just wasn't that nice. It tasted different to other burgers and I often found myself using ketchup to cancel this out. Chips were ok, again nothing out of the ordinary. One of my friends tried a rib eye steak and whilst I did not try it, he told me that it was rather dry. For gourmet food, I expect to pay a bit more but I expect quality. There are many other places around that offer better quality at slightly lower prices. On a side note, there were many people there just loitering around. All looked very young and were often quite loud in the conversations and their laughter. It was quite off putting and intimidating.

Went to have dinner with my family. Staff was really nice and helpful. We ordered burgers they were too dry no taste, the bun was hard. It wasn't worth it.

Came here with 3 friends for burgers. I went for the classic burger, with caramelised onions (extra 95p), friends ordered the lambo burger, the burger with turkey and sirloin steak. We had wings on the side too and 1 side of chips. The wings went down well. My burger however was over done, the brioche bun was not soft, and at £7.90 for just the burger it should've been way better. Why aren't the fries included...? Because it's gourmet - in that case I would've appreciated if I was asked how I like my burger. Juicy. In fairness my friends enjoyed their orders. It all came to £55 with drinks for 4 people. A bit pricey for fast food, but they do have a shisha lounge out the back if you fancy a smoke.

Think the staff give into friends at the shisha area then their diners! Burgers were overly cooked as the meat was a little over chewy, and service was slow, some missing items...but the hunger took its toll. Took ages for the drinks and the young girl serving us, although friendly got too confused!

I went here with my best mate and we are food fanatics. We were welcomed in well thought it did take a little longer to seat us. But it was pretty busy and we were acknowledged well. Tempus wings were delicious and the staff were friendly. We found out about this place form th Eat Halal Card website and saw that they were doing a 10% offer for Eat Halal members. Would highly recommend and will be back there again soon.

Tempus Gourmet Garden is a must visit! The service was great, the staff were friendly and helpful. I had the tempus wings and prawns for starters and a classic burger for my main. i must say the prawns were out of this world, no seriously! try it, the food was presented beautiful and tasted very good. I would defo recommend a visit to this place. They have amazing mocktails and also provide a good shisha service just at the back of the restaurant. I have been a couple of times with different friends and we all have always had a great experience. Thank you guys @ Tempus!

Visited this place after all the hype on Instagram...and I have to admit, the place is welcoming, and we were instantly greeted by a member of staff who showed us to our table. The place in general has a warm atmosphere. We had the King Prawns as a starter and it was just delicious!! The skin of the prawns was just as good as the prawns. I also noticed they have the sheehsa in the back, I didn't try it this time; but definitely something on my agenda, as it looked really cool! We didn't have cash on us, but the waiter informed us of the nearest cash point, which was a drag...BUT its not too far from the restaurant, so a good walk to work of that food. Overall, good experience in comparison to many of the steak places I have been to, where the staff can come across abrupt. Whereas this place despite it being busy staff were welcoming. Catering to your order, as the waiter run through the menu with us. Even though he was busy! So thanks Tempus!!

When my friends and i came in they were very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. We ordered steak chips , chicken, prawns and tempus wings. We didnt wait too long for the food to arrive and when it did it was the right temperature and great flavours. However i wasnt too fond of the gravy that came with the chicken; my only criticism. Nonetheless great food at reasonable prices. Highly recommend and make sure you take cash! They do not take accept card payment. Try the mocktail too! Strawberry daquri very yummy!!!!
