The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in London

A superb neighbourhood, traditional pub with something that’s rare these days, a warm welcome from the landlady and her husband. Great selection of well kept beers, eclectic mix of locals, but I do wish the management could reel in the effing and jeffing from certain elements that visit occasionally.

Difficile de définir le type de cuisine: moyen orientale, européenne du sud avec un zeste d’Asiatique. Vraiment bravo pour la qualité de la cuisine, l’efficacité du service, la chaleur et la sympathie du restaurant et de son personnel.

An Exceptional Pub, Despite One Man’s Appalling Beer Decision The moment you step inside, you’re wrapped in an atmosphere of festive warmth and charm. The twinkling fairy lights, the carefully curated décor, and the smell of quality ale wafting from the bar all create a truly magical experience. The staff are a credit to the establishment, effortlessly balancing efficiency and friendliness, while the beer selection caters to every palate—from the adventurous to the traditional. This is a pub where memories are made. But unfortunately, not all memories are pleasant. Enter the offender: the man who decided to order six pints of Guinness in a pub that practically begs you to try something new. Yes, I’m talking about you, sir—the man in the flannel shirt, pictured here with an expression that screams, “Yes, I am the problem.” This is a pub that offers a wealth of options. A pub with character, creativity, and craft at its core. And yet, when faced with a glorious lineup of ales, lagers, and seasonal specials, this man—a living embodiment of wasted potential—chose Guinness. Again. At every pub. His decision has the tragic inevitability of a bad sequel: predictable, unnecessary, and downright disappointing. To make matters worse, his choice wasn’t even for himself alone. No, this man took it upon himself to drag his friends down with him, ordering a round of six Guinnesses like some self-appointed arbiter of bland conformity. Who does that? Who looks at a menu brimming with possibilities and says, “Nah, we’ll just have what we always have”? I’ll tell you who: a man whose spirit of adventure has been thoroughly extinguished by the weight of his own bad habits. Dear sir, your Guinness obsession has become a metaphor for everything that’s wrong with modern drinking habits: safe, predictable, and devoid of imagination. To the pub: I salute you. Your establishment is a triumph—a beacon of quality in an otherwise uninspired world. The staff handled this man’s Guinness debacle with grace, serving him and his friends without a hint of judgement, despite the sheer absurdity of his order. To the offender: next time, look around. Try something seasonal. Be bold. Because if I have to watch you order another Guinness, I might just lose my faith in humanity entirely.

Guinness is awful, dirty glass too, and £6.75 a pint???

Food was lovely, attentive staff at the start but then slowed down and we had to chase for the bill after giving up trying to place a dessert order. Lovely pub, nice atmosphere but please turn down the phone ringing level as it kept interrupting conversation and was a distraction as wasn't answered.

Great place, great food and staff were friendly and did a great job!

Delicious food and atmosphere. A little slow with the service. But overall a lovely Saturday lunch.

The staff were extremely helpful and couldn’t do enough for us.

Excellent old London pub opposite Spitalfield... great atmosphere.

Went for a team Christmas dinner. Food and service was excellent. Definately would go back. Thanks!

We visited Sherlock Holmes Museum which was next to The Volunteer. We made a reservation as the place is very popular. As a tourist, we wanted to try authentic British food, and so we tried Scotch Egg, Yorkshire Pudding, Fish & Chips, Sunday Roast and Falafel. The restaurant is very particular about allergen so do let them know so that they can prepare your food accordingly. Only drawback is that the toilet is on the 2nd floor. If travelling with elderly, this can be inconvenient and difficult for them to climb the narrow steps & down. Must try when you are around the Baker Street area!

Epic pub, 5/5 for watching sport and outdoor area in summer especially 😮‍💨

Sorry put the last review in by accident. Went here a few years ago with family and friends. Had a lovely meal with good beer.

2 missing budweisers told by driver he would fix it but he didn't

Cosy but not pokey. The snug with mostly young, posh types (many of whom French?) with their dogs out on a Sunday afternoon. And I, posh and old, seeing myself in them. Hair touselled, gumbooted, attractive and confident about things I know about while frightened of things I don't. This is a metropolitan England within London, I think, and drain my pint before walking around the corner to have a turmeric latte.
