J'ai dîner a plusieurs reprise dans ce restaurant les plats sont bon mais sans plus ce n'est pas de la grande cuisine mais les serveurs sont sympathique.
I was very excited to try this restaurant whilst visiting London and made a reservation for a late dinner on a Friday evening a few days before arriving in London. The restaurant comes from the founders of a famous London wine bar/market.
I left underwhelmed. The service was aloof and “too cool for school;” the server showed no interest in helping us with menu choices or pairing interesting wines with what we selected. The server also didn’t seem to have much interest in whether we liked the food.
I didn’t really like the food. It was not bad, but it was not outstanding or particularly inspirational. Prawns to start were served with an under-seasoned sauce; fish stew was nothing special.
The space is okay, but a little spartan. I liked what they were going for but wanted a few cozier touches.
Overall, not a place I’d seek to return. Whilst not a horrible meal, it wasn’t a great one, either, and much better experiences can be had for this price point in London.
TAX AVOIDING -will insist on paying cash only, though have a working card machine
OVERCHARGE -menu price was £34.50, when we arrived they said it was £38.50 whilst handing us a menu with price being £34.50. Price increase is not reflected anywhere in resturant or on their website.
Waiter did not add drinks to the bill, and contacted us the next day saying the bill will come out of his wages!!!!! Which is illegal.
I wouldn't mind paying for the drinks that he forgot to put however he said they costed £60 but they were £54, he never gave us our change when we paid the bill, he took the additional tip that was given (though unearned) and as for the food price increase, it seems they make up their prices as they go.
UNFRIENDLY Staff- no smiles, no goodbyes, no nothing
SERVICE - though only 3 tables were full was offered 1 drink throughout the night then had to wait 20mins for a bottle of water.
FOOD- was mediocre, Not worth £38.50 for 3 course (which was the only choice of menu)
DRINKS- Cocktails were sour and there seemed to be a problem when asking for a little extra syrup to sweeten them.
DESSERT- was non existant unless you classify 1 TINY piece of baklova (however you spell it) as a dessert
MUSIC- was nice but really loud.. Too loud, you couldn't have any type of convo with anyone on your table. But nice either way
BELLY DANCER - was the only staff member who smiled, but then again she was having men putting notes in her knickers and bra, felt like I was in a strip club!
INTERIOR- Beautiful, large fish tank, flowers on the wall etc However food does not fit on the small round tables so you are eating worried your plate is going to fall on your lap.
TOILETS- were dirty and out of service (I should have checked the toilet 1st as you know the rule
says if the toilet is dirty then so is the kitchen)
OVERALL- the resturant has a lot of potential once they have better trained staff, less tax avoidance and value for money. The entertainment offered atmosphere however, if you don't want to put £10 in the belly dancers knickers then you may feel abit uncomfortable. All that was needed was for her to take her bra off...
A resturant that could have offered class, devalued by all of the above. In fact the only the only thing that was as expected was the fish swimming in the tank and even they wernt swimming they were still, like statues...
I won't be revisiting ill stick to shaka zulu resturant
Fuimos a KFC Leicester Square y decir que el lugar estaba sucio fue una eufemismo!
Sé que son franquicias pero este lugar es terrible.
Lo que realmente me molesta es el hecho de que los turistas de otros países visitan, deben pensar que los ingleses piensan que esto es normal cuando obviamente no lo es!
Terrible lugar, sin duda no recomendaría
Warning – Be Cautious When Dining Here
Please be vigilant when dining at this establishment, as there are active thieves operating in the area. During our visit, two young men—likely in their late teens or early twenties, with brown skin, short black hair, and of medium height—suddenly appeared in the downstairs dining area, which was quite isolated.
One of them, speaking with a foreign accent, approached our table asking for food. This turned out to be a deliberate distraction while the other was eyeing our belongings and attempting to grab them. Had I not quickly pulled our bags and phones toward us, they would likely have been stolen. His hand was already on the phone.
This experience was unsettling, and it’s a reminder that even seemingly quiet spots aren’t always safe. Please stay alert and keep your valuables close at all times
The meal was good and quickly prepared - but tainted by the unfortunate situation
Este pequeño restaurante estilo buffet ofrece comida china occidentalizados. no volvería a pagar por el buffet, pero son cajas de comida para llevar una ganga. ofrecen "falsa" comida china común tales como carne dulce y amarga, cerdo con zanahorias, verduras cordero rehogada etc. También tienen calamares y primavera los roles. La señora de la tienda es atento y servicial.
A pesar de las malas críticas aquí, mi experiencia no fue tan mala en absoluto. El burrito era caro, pero sabía bien y tenía todo. - Muy caliente también. El hombre que me sirvió tenía un buen servicio al cliente experto, y dijo gracias, adiós y saludó con la mano, etc. El único problema era que el borde del papel de aluminio era un poco afilado y me cortó el labio. ¡Sin embargo, un lugar decente para detenerse si desea una comida rápida y caliente!
Ordered hot chocolate and a tea. No gluten free sandwiches, apparently ran out.
Ask to have teabag separate because I don’t like stewed tea. Was informed by a young lad that I must pay for extra cup for the teabag.
I was surprised, I was happy to hold my teabag and did not require it in a separate cup. I told him so and he said those are the rules.
We decided to forgo our order
