Very beautiful place, but why Dont you change the google hours, if you are closed? A few times now I made a long way to come, even called the number, but no response. So disappointing that it's always closed…

The old waiter felt offended when I asked him to clean the table I approached with a children to have a lunch. Started screaming that he's to busy. Barmaid (black female) on the other hand informed us about the "backlog" in the kitchen and the fact that we won't be able to put any order for another 45-60 minutes and if we want to eat we can go somewhere else. Never again! Do not visit that place. Thank you

The employee did not interact in a good way and started shouting and was racist because we found a table outside and changed our place. We informed the employee that we had changed our place and she said it is not a problem, you can change the place and the waiter started shouting without any respect. I do not like this behavior and I hope he learns politeness and how to deal with respectable people

One of the members of staff, I think she may have been the manager, was unbelievably rude. The service was slow and they didn’t bring out a few dishes and still charged us for them and showed no sign of apology when we pointed out the mistake. The most beautiful building totally let down by the restaurant inside.

The space was beautiful, the food was ok, the waitstaff were downright rude. There was one lady in particular who had bad energy right from the start. The salad I ordered was overdressed and I asked for a few more pieces of lettuce. She took it to the cook and they blatantly made fun of my request as I waited and watched. It made for a terrible eating experience at Hyde Park.

I’m writing this because while the food and coffee are good, they are constantly closing for events without putting anything on their website. For locals who make a long walk through the park expecting to then have coffee before going back, it’s becoming irritating. Naturally they have a lot of events, it’s a great place. But if locals can’t count on knowing it they’re open, either we will start bothering them with endless phone calls before going or we just won’t bother anymore- there are other nice cafes on the north side of the park. The other one in the park is not remotely the same thing- always chaotic, no table service and more of a place for tourists passing by. Magazine is a place we all come to meet friends, work remotely, get coffee on a walk through the centre. Magazine, be more thoughtful to your local customers.

For a special occasion we had planned to combine two great shows at the Serpentine Galleries with lunch together and we had a fully confirmed lunch booking for 2pm. When we arrived we found the restaurant closed.! There were a couple of staff inside who were mildly apologetic saying they’d had a lot of big functions and the kitchen wasn’t opening. But they weren’t really sure why. They offered that the restaurant was open the next day. We laughed - obviously none of us would dream of ever going back! There was no indication via email or otherwise that the restaurant couldn’t honour the booking. Let alone an apology.

I never usually write negative reviews, but what a poor experience! I wanted to see the gallery, but when I asked at the café how to get in, I was told "it's closed" with no apology or explanation (it should have been open on a Wednesday). I stayed for a drink and to check emails etc. instead, paid £3.20 for a lemonade and while the bartender searched for a long while for a bottle opener, another member of staff said "yeah?" I said, "excuse me?" and he grunted "yeah?" again. I just explained I was waiting for a lemonade and he grunted and walked away. It was bizarre. When I finally got the lemonade with no apology for the odd delay, it was served in a paper coffee cup and lid (eh?) even though other people were drinking from glasses, as is customary for a soft drink. I don't usually like to pay £3.20 for a lemonade from a paper coffee cup. Again, no explanation. I didn't bother to say anything. All in all, a strange, hostile experience that prompted me to write this review. At least the WiFi was good.

We popped into The Magazine for a very light lunch and were greeted by a friendly staff member and told to choose a table. We were told to order at the counter but a staff member came and took our order. The place was rather quiet at this stage. My wife's latte was fine; my chai wasn't a full cup and by the time I'd worked through the froth it was only a bit more than half a cup of actual liquid. It was made with powder rather than proper leaves but I've come to expect that in the UK. I asked for the souffle - I said we were after a light lunch - but it was unavailable that day (a Saturday). I went with the crab cake instead and it was very tasty if a tad expensive.

We went in for lunch after a walk in the park. The architecture of the place is amazing. We walked in and while it was busy, there were clearly at least 3-4 tables where people were getting up. The hostess was incredibly cold and rude. She almost yelled at us that were were no empty tables and then after we asked further, said we could sit on the side tables for tea while waiting for a table. Then, no one ever came to take our order for tea for 15 min. Meanwhile, all 4 tables freed up. We went back to the hostess who told us to 'sit back down'. I was already very annoyed at that point and this comment was infuriating. We did sit down eventually because we were hungry and then it took another 10 minutes for a waitress to come. She took our order and then ...after a considerable wait, the food came without drinks. When the drinks finally came, the tea was cold. It had been sitting somewhere for a while. There were a number of other interactions with the staff which left us annoyed and slightly stressed. They knew they did terribly, too because they took the tip off the bill before we even asked. On the plus side, the food was good although portions are on the small side.

Got stuck in horrendous traffic so decided to escape it by stopping here for lunch. Was quite busy but enough staff to cope. Slightly disappointed that one young server was dressed extremely casual, I actually thought she was a customer at first as she was sitting at one of the tables. I do think staff should wear smart uniforms but that’s my opinion I suppose! The extractor fan wasn’t working so couldn’t serve burgers which was disappointing. The food was ok, pasta a bit boring. Sadly it was the slow service that annoyed me, especially when I noticed that the lady behind the bar had time to stand there eating on full show of everyone! Very unprofessional!

As I wanted pasta and they only had vegan pasta he suggested he’d speak with the chef to add some chicken in it for me. As a Nigerian who loves rich flavour and spicy food. I did enjoy the pasta and would definitely try it again sometime soon. It was wholesome being there. I’ll visit again x

Great place and location and really nice staff but -sorry- the menu is very disappointing. At a first glance you might be fooled and think you can find gluten-free and dairy-free options, however, that's not really the case. Especially if you have both allergies...forget it! Best eat somewhere else to spare yourself the aggravation and come here for a coffee or tea or drinks. Although I really wouldn't recommend this place for the food, the staff are amazing. We were very impressed by the service, especially having gone there on a sunny day when the place was absolutely packed and everyone was rushed off their feet.

We went here with some friends and their kids as well. We arrived around 12.30pm. We were seated and from here on the experience got worst. They came for our order and it was this point we were told they had no chips. We had geared the kids up for fish and chips. Who runs out of chips at the start of the meal service? We were then asked if instead of chips we wanted mushrooms. I don’t know any 3 year old that likes mushrooms never the less order them. We then ordered a bottle of wine which they confused and did a glass. She even stated that her manager did mention 4 glasses. For pudding the staff didn’t know what flavour ice cream they had. I feel that the restaurant needs to train their staff so much better. If they did the meal would have been quite pleasant.

How many times have readers of Tripadvisor had an enjoyable time at a restaurant only to return on a later date to find that it’s closed for a private function? That was our experience on the afternoon of 11 September 2021 when we thought we’d return to The Magazine to repeat the great experience we’d had there on 4 September 2021. Although we could see people sitting outside, eating and drinking, a hand-written notice told us that The Magazine was closed. This message was reinforced by an employee of the restaurant who, when I asked why it was closed, replied that the closure was for a private event. The Magazine is run by Benugo and provides very high quality food and drink pleasantly served and at an affordable price. I’ve been there several times both for lunch and tea and will probably return. However, planning a visit and then finding that the chosen restaurant is closed plants a doubt in ones mind about its reliability as a place for a meal or a cup of tea and a slice of one of Benugo’s delicious cakes. The question will always be asked, “If I choose this restaurant will I be disappointed and find it’s closed when I get there?” I can’t deny the fact that all hospitality venues have been through a difficult time during the public health crisis created by Covid-19. Also, that a private event will yield more revenue than customers who just want lunch or a cup of tea. Nonetheless, eateries such as The Magazine must decide what they are there for: are they restaurants catering for the general public or venues for hosting exclusive private parties?

We popped in here on a Sunday morning and were met with some of the worst service imaginable. Despite there only being 2 other tables taken, and a handful marked as reserved, they tried to put us - with a sleeping baby - right next to the loud kitchen. When I asked to move they accommodated us but were fairly unpleasant about it. They then basically ignored us - I had to go up and get their attention repeatedly both to order our food and to get the bill. (And at this point we were the only table in the restaurant!) The food was fine, but the virgin marys were terrible - just tomato juice and ice with celery that had gone off. I’ve been before and it’s been good, but this time we had such a poor experience and that was sadly down to the staff and management.

Went for lunch after the Van Goch exhibition in Hyde Park. Small plates were excellent and flavoursome. Service very good. Highly recommend.

I went there for Sunday lunch with an old friend, our second visit to this amazing building. Designed by Zaha Hadid, from the outside the restaurant looks like an undulating canvas marquee, but the inside is stunning with large white pillars expanding at the top to join the arched roof. With glass on three sides, the restaurant has an airy feeling, and there is also outdoor seating on three side of the building. The restaurant has re-opened only recently under new management as 'The Magazine', and the fairly short menu concentrates on freshly sourced ingredients with several vegan items. Perhaps because it was a Sunday, there were only two main dishes and three 'small plates' on offer, compared with four and five listed on the internet. However, we were not disappointed as the food was very tasty and the recipes were unusual and interesting. I chose two small plates instead of a main and the quantity was equivalent to a main course. One plate was harissa aubergines with braised tomatoes crushed pistaccio and herbs; the other was flatbread, zuccini and ricotta, costing £14 for the two. My friend chose Norfolk chicken caesar with grilled gem lettuce, egg yolk and split butter milk dressing costing £16. Although we were sitting outside, service was attentive and well informed as to the ingredients. We also had a bottle of the Primitivo red and shared some olives and a dessert. My only observation is that the choice on the menu could have been larger, but a limited choice with fresh ingredients is better than a long menu. Provided that you do not want traditional English fare, I recommend that you try this place. You can also visit the adjacent art gallery in the original magazine building and also this year's temporary pavilion located halfway between the restaurant and the Albert Memorial.

Revisiting after four years, feeling the same pleasure to enter this clean bright restaurant in the middle of the parks, with good service - but it's all downhill now as the food rapidly disappoints. Mussels not fresh and why serve so many that have not...

Long wait for a simple salad and kids burger -40min. Poor service thereafter. Bill came with numerous additional items not ordered. Not done. Sorry. Avoid. Or just continue to fleece the tourists.

Estaba lleno cuando llegamos pero la espera fue corta. El lugar está magníficamente diseñado, a partir de un antiguo almacén de pólvora de 1805, por la arquitecta iraquí Zaha Hadid. Los colores, las formas onduladas, la luz que entra por sus paredes completamente vidriadas, las columnas serpenteantes que te hacen sentir en el interior de una flor. La atención fue sumamente amable y cordial. El té delicioso y la carrot cake de las mejores que probé. Y, como si fuera poco, música en vivo. Un lugar al que volvería sin dudas y recomiendo para que vayan. No se van a arrepentir.

I stopped here for coffee with my husband and baby during a winter walk in Hyde Park, it was a great place to stop instead of having a coffee from a kiosk outside in the cold, warm and comfortable. Coffee was good and reasonably priced....

We tried to find a place several times, it was fully booked, finally we managed. The food is good, though not too special. The location, the building itself, the atmosphere, it all complements one another, cool place

Just got a take away tea. Small cup which is fine, but half the cup filled. At £3.10 a tea and such a small cup, please at least fill the cup to 2/3rd.
