"the atmosphere is beautiful, I personally like this style of interieur. the appetizers were in order, we had the burrata and Kale salad. but the tiger cars were the best I had so far in london! for the main course I had the lobster tagliolini, it was nice, but I enjoyed the same court of signor sassi more. the prawn risotto was a bit too saucy for me, but it had a few flavors I really liked. all in all I want to come back."

"The wait staff said they were known for their fish and chips. We try to experience favorite foods/specialties in the countries we visit, so we had to have the fish and chips. We were very pleased with the portion size, flavor, and freshness of our food. It was a soccer night, and you could tell locals were gathering, which is also a good indication everything's going to be good."

"Stopped here for lunch after finding parking right outside Nando’s, but deciding to try something different Bad move. The restaurant looks nice and clean and was pretty empty when we arrived. On a Saturday afternoon. Granted it was but this is a casual...dining spot? We were greeted at the door by our waitress who showed us to our table, handed us some menus, then walked off. It was baking hot and I was gasping for a pint! Haha. She sauntered back minutes later and proceeded to take our order. Without writing it down. chicken burgers, fries twice, chicken wings, a pint of pale ale and a glass of rose wine. It took another mins for the drinks to arrive. Remember we are of dining parties in the place. The food arrived promptly and was of good quality. When I say the food, I mean most of the food we ordered. I assumed the chicken wings would arrive shortly, they never did. You get the impression no one really cares at this place. The staff all congregated around the bar area sitting down, taking, laughing, drinking, eating. No one bothered to check all our food had arrived. The wine was disgusting, quite clearly off, tasted bitter and vinegary. We asked for the wine to be changed and were told it’s the only rose wine they have. Wine removed from bill, fine. Presented with the bill which included service. I pointed out my food didn’t arrive and that I wanted the service removed. It was removed. The waitress was, despite being nice enough, quite frankly abysmal. The management here is non-existent. I won’t be returning. It’s a shame because the fare on offer is actually decent enough."

"We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and it is located within a hotel, making it easy to find. The hotel itself has a beautiful ship/sea theme downstairs. The staff was friendly when we arrived and the restaurant has a high-end atmosphere. The menu is not extensive, but offers a good variety of meat, fish, and vegetable options. Unfortunately, there was a glitch with our order as their system went down, resulting in a long wait without any communication. However, we eventually flagged down a staff member who explained the issue, offered us drinks, and took excellent care of us. The service provided by the staff member, who resembled Lucy Lu, was exceptional and deserving of a 4-star rating. The starters were amazing, especially the ceviche tacos. The main dishes were generous in portion size, with the halibut being beautifully presented, though some may prefer a sauce with more flavor. The Mac and cheese side dish is highly recommended. We would definitely return for the fish dishes, especially the whole sea bass, and plan to visit during the summer to enjoy the Thames River view. Overall, a great spot for a date night."

"I went to the coffee shop and while we were in the queue one of the servers took some blue kitchen roll and blew her nose twice, we watched and waited for her to go and wash her hands but she put the tissue in her pocket and started serving the customers. I mentioned it to one of the ladies serving that she should go and wash her hands as she was breaking hygiene standards but nobody was interested, other customers also commented but nothing was done. I went to the customer service team who were more than happy to deal with my complaint. I find it absolutely disgusting that she would not wash her hands and I Will Not be going back there for food!!!!!!!"

"I chose this restaurant to have a day celebration for my partner. We came knowing we would have more choice. And no disappointment! A choice for both people feeds 2 people, and only one refill we needed - rice. We were full for hours. Everything was so delicious! Gazpacho was more like a desert. The curries were smashed. Salads, especially the kale OMG! We both thought £25 each was worth what we got, neither did we need the huge refill. The quality of the food and the service is something we gladly paid for. Not to mention the BYOB feature where you don't pay the fees as against other restaurants. That's where we're going to go back and we're going to take our friends too. I can now understand why the week prior to their booking was already fully booked with only a few slots left for the day."

"So, we had booked one of Allentown’s pods for our evening meal some time ago, opting for a pod as we had our hound with us, the establishment having a no dogs policy. Fair enough. When we arrived in the pouring rain, the manager told us in no uncertain terms that due to the rain her staff would not be serving food in the pods and that our dog would have to stay in the car as the dog going inside “would upset the locals”. We said this was not an option. The way this was put across by the manager can only be described as hostile. We were told 5hat if the dog misbehaved we would be told (not asked) to leave. Had we not prepaid a deposit for the seafood platter, we would have turned around there and then. We were put on a perfectly acceptable table, served by a slightly over-compensating and embarrassed waitress and had a very tasty meal. One drink, no starters no dessert and a hasty exit followed as our evening had been spoiled. Absolutely shocking and shabby customer service. Purely because of this, I rate one trip adviser blob. If I could rate zero blobs I would. Dog owners beware and take heed of this tale. It was not our fault it was precipitating down; if there was a problem us having a dog then we should have been called beforehand. There was no respect for us as customers and we will never darken their door again. Finally, the food was great. But the manager left a very sour taste that we cannot shift."

"I absolutely love this place. Everything is amazing, from their smoothies to their salads to their lovely sweets and snacks. Yes it is expensive but it is top quality, organic, homemade, super yummy and totally worth it. I have visited 3 times so far, having tried their grasshopper smoothie, matcha latte, kale salad and peanut butter florentines, giving top marks to everything. Their açai bowls also seem to be a hit and their package cacao buckwheat granola is just the best. Everything is refined sugar free and gluten free. Now they have brought back their icecreams for summer so time to go back soon!"

"Wild Food Cafe Islington is a temple of nourishment and coming home to yourself. The symphony of flavours of the beautiful created dishes takes you on a journey of remembering the true relationship with nourishment. I have never before felt my body so happy seeing the food and eating. I can literally feel every cell in my body getting excited to receive this divine food. The wild dishes are highly nurturing on so many levels: optically, texture wise, flavour wise, nutrient wise, plus they do ignite your inspiration and creativity also. The place in itself it’s an oasis of relaxation and joy. It looks so pleasing to the eyes: the lighting, the colour scheme, the textures (looove the soft pink macaroon like chairs my favourites , the hosts are so welcoming and ready to make sure that you have a wonderful experience. I love the elevated pizza, then queen of the forest for cold winter days, the unicorn rainbow cake is my absolute favourite a fabulous cross between dreamy cheesecake and ice cream having the perfect light creamy texture and temperature. But don’t take my word for it, go and gift this experience to yourself. Might be the most delicious break and meal you had in ages. Most likely you may find me there see you soon! Enjoy! Bon appetite!"

"Fantastic discovery of this atmospheric, stylish Indian restaurant. We've now been here twice and are planning our next visit very soon. The staff are very welcoming and attentive and the food spans many options from sea bass to duck and the usual chicken, lamb and king prawns. I've tried the sea bass (one of my fav types of fish) and it was so nicely cooked with great sides. We've also tried their classic curries such as a rogan josh and we could certainly taste the spices. Give it a try!"
"This is a review of the new Gunpowder in the One Tower Bridge development that doesn't have it's own entry in Zomato yet. It's a handsome place but acoustics are lousy when it is crowded. The food is good but be warned that portion sizes are dainty relative to rather high prices. I love that they seem to focus on the lighter, brighter side of Indian cooking instead of the stodgy fatty things available in a typical curry house. We started with aloo chat which is a really fresh and bright dish I like. Boiled spiced potato and cauliflower, tart yoghurt, sweet tamarind sauce, fresh notes of raw coriander and raw red onion and micro herbs, garnished with a little deep fried lotus root. Well balanced and tasty. Peanut and flattened chickpea chaat was great too. Skin on peanuts, spring onion, coriander, cucumber and chickpeas that had indeed been pounded flat and roasted. Kashmiri grilled lamb chops were divine and came with a punchy coriander chutney. Very tender, served medium rare, with a flavourful spice rub. It came with some strands of pickled cabbage where the acidity was a nice foil for the fatty meat. Patara maach was fish steamed in banana leaf on the grill served with some spiced pickled cauliflower. Fish was tender and rubbed with a nice emongrassy paste. The only dish we ordered I didn't care for were the okra fries. I like bhindi when the okra's are halved lengthwise and dredged in chickpea flour before deep frying. However, these had been cut into very thin julienne slivers and then tossed in the chickpea flour. Though the frying technique was perfect (crisp, with no greasy texture) slicing the okraso finely resulted in a heavy dish. We attended the reduced price soft launch. At full price with a bottle house wine, dinner for two would have been £70 including service. Expensive for Indian, but worth it because it was refined and elevated."

"Visited for lunch with a vegan friend over from Finland for a few days, Sukha had been recommended to her by others and so we ventured forth!! My friend had crushed avocado on toast and I have to admit that while it looked nice and she said it tasted good, the portion was tiny, really tiny. She washed it down with an elder flower canned drink. The kale salad she ordered didn't get served until I asked for it right at the end and again, it was declared tasty. I had a carrot and nut burger with some chilli relish. It was very tasty, really tasty, but in my opinion, would have been even better if the roll it was in was either fresh and softer or maybe, toasted. I chose to have a lovely slaw as a side dish and their delicious espresso, date and banana smoothie. We chose not to have a cake as they looked as if they'd been there a while and not very fresh I'm afraid I'm a trained pastry chef and have an eye for these things after 55 years in the trade. The surroundings are a bit on the dull side, it's obviously been put together for the atmosphere and on a budget it's no worse for this to be honest, in fact, it adds to the character some of the customers were definite tributes to the age of hippies in Ibiza 50+ years ago (me among them in those days . The cafe is on a busy road, under a snooker club which is where you'll need to go to use a loo if you need one. Go along with an open mind and willingness to try something different and new, if you're a meat eater, you'll almost certainly be pleasantly surprised. If you're veggie or vegan, then you'll understand what they do at Sukha and are in for a very pleasant visit. Good luck to the cafe, I hope that you'll be there for my next visit to your area, if you are, I'll definitely be back:"

"Went on Feb 10,2023 I had a gift card that I wanted to use. Thank God for a gift card a striped bass dinner and a NY Strip $124.00. My gift card was $80. I wasn’t impressed and half the strip was fat. No dessert had to ask for a second roll. Not returning I can go many other places and walk out same money using it for either apps or desert too. Way too over price and a BYOB so no drinks ordered. Nasty reply only speaking the truth and yes the original was for $200 which was used for a dinner before when I got a good meal however returned to finish the gift card thinking I get the same quality. You will not have to worry I won’t be returning. My money is good anywhere."

My meal was £7.5 for spicy turkey meatballs (great-tasting but small portion, only 3 meatballs with a bed of spinach (you could choose as well either rice or cauliflower rice , roasted sweet potatos with green sriracha and kale salad (delicious dressing . For the main dish you had 5 or 6 different options (chicken, beef, pork, aubergine, tofu... . And they are teamed uo with Action against Hunger (for every Chivken Harrisa, 10p goes to them ."

"This restaurant is right near Tower Bridge. I made a reservation in advance, this is a busy restaurant. The menu offers a variety of small plates and sharing plates which cater for a number of different tastes, be aware veg options are limited. It is definitely a limited choice menu compared to a typical traditional Indian restaurant. The food was served quickly, I went for the small plates and ordered a number of different dishes, similar to tapas. All the plates were presented well and I would say we're all delicious. Relatively expensive but the quality of the produce in each dish can be tasted. Every dish was full of flavour and was unique. My favourite dishes were the soft shell crab, tandoori chicken and duck, however everything was good. The ambience is nice too, we had a booth, service was good. We ate well, so 3 of us with a drink each, the bill came to £213. Probably a little over what I would normally pay, however worth the spend to sample some unique cuisine. I would recommend this as a treat, definitely wouldn't be a regular of mine, reserved for special occasions and treats or if you're looking to impress a date!"

"I visited with my brother last Sunday and really wanted to love this café. First impressions were good: the location at the foot of the Downs was beautiful and the venue was set in a lovely old restored barn. We entered and alas downhill from that point on. A greeting and ordering procedure would have been nice but we were ignored so we milled around feeling a bit foolish, then picked up a menu and found an (unwiped table outside. The smell of frying bacon was enticing so we ordered bacon baps only to be told that the baps had run out! It was only 1.45pm. The reason given was that they had been busy . On a popular walkers and cyclists route on a fine weekend the demand should have been predictable and catered for: after all this café has been running for four years. I then tried to order scones but they had all gone too. We finally settled for lime cheesecake with raspberries (sadly no raspberries, ran out of those too , tasty but topping was melting; banana cake (delicious and coffee (lukewarm . The coffee was delivered after 20 minutes; 15 minutes later we 'd drunk it and still no sign of the cakes. When I went into the café the owner was holding a bunch of tabs and it was clear the system such as it is had unravelled: the owner herself said it was chaos. I was assured the cake was coming so ordered another coffee. The cakes came but the coffee didn 't (not written down so I had to remind again. People had been arriving but were being turned away as the café was I believe closing early. Our bill for two cakes (no reduction for the missing raspberries! , three coffees and dreadful service came to £17.50 which I reckon is pricey for such a poor experience. Reading previous reviews going back four years a common thread reoccurs: the whole operation falls to pieces when a 'busy ' period is encountered. Lessons should have been learnt by now namely, experienced staff, efficient system and sufficient food stocks. This café has such potential (I know, I have worked in several and with some effort it should reach it."
