"Once seated, we were quickly offered water, receiving one bottle of still and one of sparkling as requested. We were also offered other drinks, but everyone in our group was content with water. It took us a few minutes to decide on our order, which was perfectly fine since we weren’t in a rush. However, after a while, we began to wonder about the status of our food. We were a group of four, and a table for two next to us, who had arrived after us, was already being served. They, like us, had only ordered main courses, with the enticing dessert menu in mind for later. Another party of two on the other side was served their starters, followed by their mains, while we were still waiting. In the end, I lost track of how long we had been waiting, but I started to feel a bit embarrassed since we had recommended this restaurant to our friends. I decided to look for our waitress, as it had been a while since I’d seen her at our table. I asked her how much longer we might have to wait. She went off to find out but wasn't particularly apologetic. She returned to inform us that our meals would be served shortly. After another 5-10 minutes, our food finally arrived. My monkfish was delicious, while the princess parmigiana was a bit disappointing to those who ordered it. The beef looked fantastic, though the last slice was a bit tough. Regardless, we enjoyed our time with our friends, and there was a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. Ultimately, no one was in the mood for dessert. After a couple of hot drinks, we asked for the bill. Since we couldn’t get the attention of our waitress, we requested it from another waitress passing by. A manager also assisted us in getting our bill."

"My friend I booked a table here for dinner as we had been here previously and loved it. When we arrived we asked if we could sit outside however the waitress said this is fine but would require the table back for half 7 (we arrived just gone 6) and that if we sat inside there would be no rush for giving the table back. We sat inside and most of the staff were very attentive and friendly. The food drinks were great aswell. However when it got to about 10 past 8 we were told that our time had run out on the table and we had to leave now and that when you book it says you have 2 hours despite a dessert menu being offered to us 10 mins before this. There was no heads up or prior warning given, the waiter then came over with the bill before we could even finish our drinks asking how we’d like to pay before we’d even discussed it. Once the bill had been paid and taken we were finishing our drink when the waiter came over for the third time and said you need to leave now and give us the table back and stood by the table waiting for us to stand up and go. Having been told there would be no rush to give the table back and not given any sort of 15 min warning so we could Atleast finish the drinks and request the bill ourselves the way this was handled completely ruined the nice food and drinks we’d had and rather than going to the bar we chose to go elsewhere because we didn’t feel welcome. Quite honestly it felt like we’d done something wrong and were being ushered out of the building. Really disappointing end to what was a nice meal out."

"I rarely leave negative reviews, only positiw, because I don't think it's very nice, but at this occasion I leave this out of the only reason of warning others. my partner and I came to giraffe after I see some really nice looking options on...her menu online. I will actually try to be about the very negative experience we had tonight. I tried to order the fish and chips, they had none. I understand it. I then ordered their Tofu-Curry and immediately asked if it could be done without wobble, and was told by the waitress “I don’t know, but I will ask for them and if it can not be done without, I will come and tell them”. I took her to her literal words and one thing later came to eat, so I suspected there was no wobbles. when I found out how to swirl in my meal, I told the waitress and immediately she said, "They should have told me if they were allergic." I said, “I am not, but I am quite indecent to why I asked for it without, and they told me that they would tell me if it was a problem,” she repeated, “You should have told me. you have to tell me. I don't know if they care about it. you should have told me that I thought you just didn't like her.” when I repeated that I could state that I didn't want her and I didn't know that I had to state why it should be taken seriously, she just repeated the same argument and finally said, "if they want, I can change it for something else," I quickly ordered something else. I didn't get an apology from her, just what felt like repeated guilt, instead of taking responsibility for her mistake, not to inform me how she had assured me that she would. 15 minutes later I waited for my alternative meal to arrive while my man his, and the manager (I think I came over. I assumed it was supposed to apologize, but it was that it – first, repeated doing the same as her colleague had done, what was to say, I had to say that I was intolerance. this has now become a embarrassing and unpleasant situation. when I explained that the thing was the fact that the waitress said she would do something she had not done, and then had accused me instead of just saying, I'm sorry and that they can't control when most dishes cooked with wobble or not. that was not a problem as such – I just wanted to be told and I would not have ordered it. Anyway, she offered me an alternative food, and in this phase, while my man is now sitting with an empty dish and I feel thoroughly said I was no longer hungry and so simply asked to go. she said the meal of my man would be on the house what I thought was a decent thing to do. we thank her and then went. on the way, the waitress I had experienced as unprofessional stood at the door. we don't want to come back."

"Looking for a fun, boozy brunch to start your weekend with a bang? Well, the Bunga Bunga Saturay Brunch in Battersea offers you the perfect option to enjoy great food and drinks in an upbeat ambience. We had booked the brunch way in advance, but reached late for our seating sadly and had much lesser time than we would've liked. Even so, you can't really go wrong with unlimited prosecco and make your own bellinis and a delicious 3 course meal to go with it. The first thing you notice when you enter is the quirky decor of this place, and as the afternoon progresses there are many more additions to make the experience better. We were immediately seated at our table in between an absolutely packed brunch seating, and were served bread which we had to send back since it was cold. They then seved us another basket with warm bread and spreads, and the afternoon started. The starters Cold cuts and pastries were brought to our table while we decided what pizzas we wanted to opt for as our mains. The pastries were highly ok, but the cold cuts were great. Our jug of prosecco and mixers kept us company till the main course arrived, and we digged in. We ordered half the Englishmen's breakfast pizza and half Italy's fun guy pizza. The latter was our favorite, an absolute delight with mushrooms and truffle oil. We ended on a high note with the delicious strawberry sorbet the pistachio one was a bit of a let down. The staff was very attentive and kept refreshing our prosecco jug, the live singer added great funk to the setting, and the face painting counter was a hit! Overall, priced at 38 pounds pp this may not be the cheapest option around, but offers a fun afternoon with music, good food and drinks in a lively and fun ambience."
