The best restaurants in Bethnal Green South Tower Hamlets London

Note: this review is for the Boxpark branch. Interesting concept but poor quality and service. Fish in the noritaco was frozen solid. When brought to the attention of the staff there was no attempt to remedy and was instead asked "is this the only piece that was frozen?".

Out side of premises very crowded!

This is my 6th time ordering and i would not change to eat anywhere, good quality 👌 and taste

I was attracted by the smell of the youth hostel I stayed in nearby, so I bought some chicken wings. I didn’t expect that at such a price, I could buy chicken wings that are so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and not too salty. The boss is an interesting person. , I feel like I not only bought fried chicken but a box of deliciousness and joy, highly recommended. Staying at a nearby hostel, I was drawn in by the aroma and decided to buy some chicken wings. I was surprised that, at this price, I could get that are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of collagen . The seasoning is just right—not too salty. The owner is a delightful person, and I feel like I got not just a box of fried chicken, but a box of deliciousness and joy. Highly recommended!

Cookies and Cream is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of trying their dessert, and it was a perfect 10/10. Every bite was pure bliss, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a spot that serves top-notch desserts, look no further than Cookies and Cream. I'll definitely be coming back for more!"

Not sure where to start… but here goes! I can’t believe I’m writing such a disappointing review for a newly refurbished Nando’s. 1. Food Quality: Every single item we ordered at our table was subpar. The chicken was dry, tough, and almost impossible to enjoy. The chips? Cold, old, and lacking any crispiness – just sad, dry remnants that felt like they’d been sitting out far too long. The broccoli tasted like microwaved mush; overcooked, rubbery, and far from fresh or appetizing. For a place known for bold, fresh flavors, this was an absolute letdown. 2. Service: The service was another major issue. One person in our party of four never received their main course. We flagged down two different staff members at different times to ask about it. Both seemed to listen but then simply walked off without a word – no explanation, no acknowledgment, no reassurance. We were just left there waiting, confused and unsure if anyone was actually addressing the issue. I can’t understand how all the staff we spoke to felt it was acceptable to just walk away despite being directly asked about the missing main. It was a complete failure in basic service and communication, leaving us frustrated and feeling ignored. 3. Kitchen Observations: To top it off, we had a clear view into the kitchen, which only made the situation worse. Despite the poor quality of our meals and the forgotten main, the kitchen staff seemed to be having a casual, fun time. We watched as our final main dish was placed on the counter, taken off to add cheese, put back under the heat lamps, and then removed again after something else was discovered missing. All the while, the kitchen staff were joking around, laughing hysterically at whatever was going on, paying little attention to the food they were preparing. It was as if we were watching a social gathering, not a professional kitchen. 4. Overall Experience: The restaurant looked great after the renovation, but the experience did not match the appearance. It’s disappointing to see that even after investing in a revamp, the management overlooked training and ensuring a high standard of service and food quality. We went in with high expectations, but left feeling let down and unsatisfied. It’s shocking how a place can go so downhill after a renovation. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because this experience fell far below the standard Nando’s usually sets.

Very good customer service and warm environment.

Brilliant service from Hassan very friendly and hospitality was great enjoyed my visit

The staff are so friendly and respectful. When there with my family (7 ladies) and was warmly welcomed and served. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kolapata has amazing Bangladeshi food, connecting you to the culture of the Asian country. Food has wonderful taste and SPICE. The restaurant service is a little slow, yet manageable. Food doesn't cost much. The restaurant is hard to get to via public transport. A tip - their mix bhorta gives you a lot - making a great price-saver.

Very convenient location next door to Bethnal Green tube station, good selection of lager but as a real ale drinker somewhat disappointing as no ales on handpumps and ws limited to a small choice bottled ales. Good venue with very friendly staff but rather noisy music to talk over and later was showing a Spanish football game on Sky sports so got a bit busier and noiser.

I have been to so many other GDK shops but this is one of the worst. I am convinced they are using a very very bad quality oil for frying the rolls. Also they are not using the fresh food.

Disgusting service, we ordered their food for my son's wedding and we had a really bad experience. We had 500 guests and they only provided us with a few waiters. Some of the chicken pieces were uncooked and the daal was burnt. Many of our guests didn't get any food and some of them were served cold food after waiting for a long time. It was so embarrassing as some of our guests travelled a long way to attend this wedding.

Went from west London to see friends and then decided to get a takeaway for the family on my way back, only to realise the containers were half full.

Prices are not mentioned anywhere and they can charge what they want like a third world country. However the waiters are very polite and the food is average.
