The best restaurants in Tower Hamlets London

Beautiful place, myself and my partner went for a morning coffee and breakfast while staying in Bethnal Green and sat inside to eat. The coffee was great, the focaccia we had was so tasty, and I don’t know what anyone who says the staff ignores those they don’t know is talking about. We’ve never been here before but we came in and got served almost immediately.

Some of the best homemade cakes, scones and afternoon tea I’ve had! Great hole in the wall place, come here often after the flower market on Sundays. You can tell the cakes are made with love, can’t recommend enough. Suggest going early because they will sell out!

I had a vegan burger with chips and Biscoff shake for lunch at Mooshies. Whilst Mooshies prices are not cheap, they are in line with other plant based restaurants and the quality of their food is excellent.

The place itself is beautiful, with a stunning view and a super pleasant atmosphere, complemented by lovely background music. The only downside was one of the staff members at the entrance, who honestly made the experience uncomfortable. First, she told us we couldn’t place a small table outside on the terrace—even though other people had one—rather than welcoming us or helping us settle in. Then, when we moved inside, she saw us sit down and immediately told us we had to leave in 20 minutes. We explained we had a reservation, and instead of simply checking, she started questioning us until another staff member confirmed it. I genuinely don’t understand the point of her role—she didn’t welcome us, didn’t try to make us comfortable, and only interrupted us. What was she even there for?

Most friendly staff, amazing bagels and the cakes were splendid! My new favourite cake & coffee stop I recommend this beautiful cafe to everyone!

The place, personal and Service is great. We walked in for pizza on the Friday evening , had a few drinks and complimentary snacks. The Italian snacks were delicious! So the atmosphere. Happy to recommend this place to anyone!

This is local to where I work and we pop in now and again for after work drinks and food. Service is Nice. Friendly Team. Banging Fish Roti and those Breadfruit balls are a problem..I.E Too good to share 👀👀🤣🤣 Theyre on Just Eat too some Home Delivery available for food.

La comida es deliciosa y sabrosa y tan fresca. El pollo estaba tan delicioso y sabroso y el arroz esponjoso y la ensalada tan crujiente y fresco y el plátano jugoso. Me encanta la comida y me gustaría pedir una y otra y otra vez. Presentación muy buena 10 / 10

Un lugar tan encantador, gran personal y tenía un pequeño plato Hot Pork Belly Pices que era tan sabroso. Muy recomendable. También encantador jardín de cerveza con calentadores.

The service, coffee, and food were all brilliant. We had a variety of fresh pastries and filled croissants. Excellent service from a very friendly and funny Scottish guy, didn’t catch his name to mention it. If you’re in the area you must stop here

Don’t go there if you have any disabled person in the family or a child. In the middle of eating we were told by Mr Ali the manager that you are taking a lot of space you need to move. Had to move with my disabled mom. After that she did not manage to eat because mentally startled and had been seated too uncomfortably. Went to the manager requesting that this kind of behaviour was not good customer service only to be threatened by mr Ali and one other lady staff that complain if you want we don’t care. You took too much space. We were a family of 8 took place for 10 people. The lady shouted go do whatever you want we serve thousands of customers if 1 complaints it doesn’t matter. I was astonished. Went there to eat with family came back home with trauma and threats. Not sure what to say. But I want to seek attention of authorities is this how you serve customers? I know you will continue getting customers but you should be kind and gentle towards families. A business should be run with respect for the customers. Can not rate food because did not manage to eat much after the incident.

Tuvimos una experiencia tan encantadora, el personal era tan encantador e increíble! ¡Grita a Nuca y Ana! Superestrellas mejoraron mi humor. La comida era increíble, especialmente el vino. Tan rico en sabor y vibraciones. El ambiente es acogedor y no hay mucho espacio personal, lo que hace que el lugar sea 10 veces mejor, ya que me recuerda que todos estamos unidos como humanos. ¡Ya voy otra vez!

Así que noto que muchas de las críticas positivas mencionan a un camarero llamado Darious - no sé si se fue o no estaba trabajando la noche en que estuvimos, pero nuestra experiencia con un camarero con un nombre diferente estaba lejos de ser positiva. Llegamos sin reserva y las mesas en el interior se llevaron - estábamos a punto de salir al aire libre y el camarero dijo “puede sentarse aquí durante media hora, pero si la reserva llega temprano tendrá que moverse”. Estuvimos de acuerdo aunque nos pareció extraño que necesitáramos movernos si llegaban antes de su reserva y pedían un vino caliente y para mi pareja otras dos bebidas. El vino caliente dijo que sería de unos quince minutos. Otra pareja llegó unos minutos después y habló con él en francés y él sonriente los mostró a una mesa reservada sin calificativos. Después de diez minutos, un par de chicas en la mesa vecina no reservada se fueron, así que nos mudamos, y le mencionamos que no parecía gustarle, pero dijo “bien”. Después de 25 minutos vino caliente finalmente apareció y él inmediatamente tomó 2 a la pareja que llegó después de nosotros. Esperé esperando a uno de los otros tres y se fue a llevarlos afuera. Preguntamos y él dijo “oh no, estos son para otras personas. Puedo pedirte uno ahora”. Señalé que habíamos preguntado antes a la otra pareja y él dijo “bueno, no han tomado ninguna bebida” En este punto habíamos terminado y pedido la factura, que un camarero más agradable compró y eliminó el cargo por servicio sin un murmullo, lo que me hace pensar que no era la primera vez que tenía que hacer eso. No sé por qué el camarero original se enfrentó a nosotros: no estaban muy ocupados, no habíamos bebido y no éramos groseros ni ruidosos, pero realmente coloreó mi noche. Esperábamos escondernos allí una o dos horas con bebidas y bocadillos y luego obtener productos de la tienda, pero terminé queriendo irme a casa por completo.

I visited 3Mien today for lunch made my booking online and stuff was very nice over the phone. Called today I would like to change my booking one hour later and they didn't find any problem about it. I visited the cafe with my parents who are visiting me in UK. They loved the food flavour. I had a very big portion of rare beef pho, my mum some aubergine and tofu with rice and dad stewed beef with rice. We were well full up after but not in a bad way. Food was delicious and right balanced. O was visiting Viet Nam last year and can confirm food was very authentic and quality was great. We had Hanoi and Saigon beers which were very nice cold. The cafe is small but very comfy. Very relaxing atmosphere they also play some relaxing classic music on the speakers. Right volume and staff is super welcoming and friendly. Thanks so much for your delicious food, not scamming us and making us feel so welcome. We really enjoyed your food and place. Will definitely come back to try more of your dishes Cám ón! 🇻🇳❤️

Great food, lovely staff, good price! Cafe was very busy, many customers seemed local and everyone was welcomed by the staff.
