"Terrible experience of dining the worst we have ever had! It was our first ever time to this place (and last) and we didn 't even get shown to a table, instead got told to go find a table over there . No one explained the ordering system until I had to ask a waitress about 15minutes later. Ordering food was to be done upfront by the deli looking counter (felt like a takeaway place). 3 of the dishes we tried to order were out of stock (oysters, scallops, leg of lamb). The 1 star rating goes to the chicken skewer starter which was tasty and tender even though they took a long time to arrive. With the time passing I even had to go and extend our parking as it was going to run over the 2 hour limit with a fine to be had. Mains took a considerable time to arrive and when they did eventually come, complete and utter disappointment!. I had the lamb skewers which were chargrilled to death, dry and chewy with no flavour. My partner had the seafood platter which wasn 't edible (he usually eats anything and everything). There were 3 closed muscles, overcooked salmon, cold calamari, small whole fish with no actual meat to eat inside them and deep fried cold fish. Not once did a waiter waitress come over to check on us, we had to get ourselves new cutlery for mains as they took them away with the starter dishes then also had to ask to order another drink as no one else came to the table. On plate collection I told the waitress the food was inedible as there was a considerable amount of food left on both plates. The manager then came over to query the complaint and instead of offering any sort of apology or discounted bill, all he done was correct me on what I thought was deep fried sardines, turned out to be deep fried whitebait... (Very helpful).. the overall bill came to £92. Very disappointed, would never return here or recommend the place to anyone. Avoid at all cost."

"We use this place to wow our clients. From large corperate to small business owners, each (wish I could swear to emphasise here) love this place. This IS the best Tapas, if not, best restaurant locally. A fine dining menu with a friendly, relaxed, yet special feel. They nail a multitude of cuisines, with each dish being the best variation of it i've tasted. Now i'm only in my (late) 20's, but our clients vary and all of which that have come here agree and never want to leave. Each time they come to visit us, we don't firstly look at agenda's, we look to see if we can get a seat here. The chefs are excellent, but you don't always come back just because the food is great, which is why Sara and her team are the best at what they do. Sara makes everyone feel special and really knows cares about her stuff. She deals with each situation perfectly and even when i've had to sit and cringe at situations, she spins it expertly, avoids any awkwardness and ends up making even the worst jokes seemingly brilliant. You have the likes of the elephant/ other boujee' fine dining restaurants which when we have a client used to be first the options we'd think of, but now it's nothing other than here. The others have a pretensious aura and make lovely meals in a stale atmosphere, but not here as you can enjoy the occasion and company just as much as the amazing food. My one and only critism is that it's now impossible to find another place to take our clients, which is why I returned with the same client on Thursday and they couldn't be happier. I could write a lot more, but won't be a bore, so i'll end by saying thank you for keeping going. I first came to you after you recently opened, with my father and his spanish friend (a typical spanish bloke... a big headed chef, which your food is the first he did not critique). You were seemingly struggling and it even felt like you were close to giving up. We're all glad you didn't. Thank you Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"Friends I had birthday lunch here yesterday I must confess to being disappointed. We 've eaten here numerous times in the past. The food was lovely. We were seated by the manager (perhaps? who was attentive however the rest of the service was poor. Although their online menu showed 1/2 lobsters as an option (something I 've enjoyed in the past here it was not on the menu. I asked if it was available (there were 1/2 lobster options on surf turf with scallops was told no. No I 'll check with chef, make enquiries, just no. I was told it was available (on their Jan offer on a Thursday well it was Saturday so not much help today! I ended up ordering a cheaper option. Starters were all delicious wee but shell in my crab mackerel tart but I can forgive that. One friends main course (was technically a starter with side if I 'm being precise was forgotten . Having worked in a number restaurants in my younger years I am astounded the chefs didn 't query why only 3 mains were being ordered when there were 4 covers. In fairness they removed her starter from the bill without quibble. The waitress offered to keep her side warm however my friend asked for a fresh side to arrive with her meal not sure whether that was carried out or not. For another friend 's main, the muscle that attaches the scallop to the shells had not been cut prior to cooking so they were somewhat difficult to remove eat. At £22 a dish we expected them to be prep 'd properly. Also had to repeatedly catch the waitresses attention when required more wine. Other two mains were tasty albeit my dish was not what I I had been looking forward to! All in all it was a disappointing lunch for somewhere we had grown fond of over the years. I 'd recommend jumping on a bus down to Leith to either their sister restaurant (although in fairness I 've not been there in a while! or The Ship Inn (for that elusive 1/2 lobster!"

"this is a review of the new filiale in kings cross, which is not yet available in the zomato database. decent levantine eat, but not as good as my greedy, but cheaper favorite mangal1 in dalston for charcoal grilled dishes. they pay for chic environment here. in contrast to mangal1 arabica would be a suitable place to bring a date. mezzes not as inventive as some pricier other favorites like morito in clerkenwell or tuyo in hackney. what they do well at arabica is classic middle-east convenience food that I rarely see on menus. I love that she batata harra and mejadra (spels here as mujadarah.) another thing that they do very well is efficiency. the high amount of staff in the open kitchen and in the kitchen arrives very quickly. we started with the moutabel, which was pleasant but not as good as the cheaper patlacan salata at mangal1. the smoked aubergine lacked a pronounced carbon taste. I also had the same complaint for the grilled meat dishes. Although I could see the charcoal grill and open fire in the kitchen, I couldn't really recognize him in my eating. moutabel was served with some exceptional flat broths. extremely thin and delicate the green shhug soon came after. not as beaten and bright as my favorite train at the good egg in stoke newington. both strong comfort foods were excellent. the lenses in the mujardarah were beautifully spiced and the crispy paper thin triangle of fried wobbles was beautiful. also batata harra (fried potatoes) were fabulous. very crisp, so likely fried in quite a lot of oil and pronounced aromas of seasoned and garlic as well as fresh coriander. our grills of chicken wings and cattle villains were somewhat disappointing. beef was tender and very medium-sized, but somewhat underheated and lacked in speculative. accompanying brat tweezers in a sweet date sauce but was very nice. wings had a slight smoke. well made fat, but also under seasoned for my taste. they came with a rather refined tonum or garlic sauce. it doesn't matter to me that my gum is aggressiw garlicky, but if they prefer a mild nuanced toum, they will like that. we were too full of desserts, although the desserts looked great. they had no problems with providing a takeaway box for unfinished food. I would recommend arabica especially for beautifully executed traditional strength comfort food in conjunction with home cooking and street food that do not appear regularly on restaurant menus. the grill area of the menu is more diverse than most of the Central Eastern restaurants that are not limited to lamb and hawn. also they are good when they prefer to be refined and refined medium-east sauces such as toum and zhoug. I didn't try her harissa, but I expect that was the same story. for wood charcoal grilled meat and aubergine is my favorite London address still mangal1. for creative mezzen I prefer morito and tuyo."

"Ohhh yuuumm eee yum! Outstandingly good, tasty food. Superb service. Beth and Charlotte were brilliant. Beth who served me was warm, welcoming, kind, genial and genuine, one of those life souls who uplifts and is an all round superlative grade 1 good egg. What an asset to the restaurant this young lady is, bosses take note! Vegano has outdoor seating set up on the pavement to the front. Inside it is simply and tastefully decorated. It has a calm atmosphere. I had homemade baked camembert cooked with white wine, garlic and rosemary, served with garlic toast and cranberry and orange compote. It was none other than delicious. For main I had the Big Kahuna burger topped with peanut butter and grilled pineapple. I opted out of the jalapeños that it would have come with. The burger options are served with fries and homemade coleslaw, but I upgraded my fries to the oh so incredibly wonderful tatter tots. Oh mah gawd, how addictive are they, wotty wot??!! Crispy fried potato pieces and seasoned with Asian salt and pepper. I didn't have the sriracha mayonnaise on it though. Tatter tots are divine and utterly moreish. There are gluten free options on the menu and you can request your burgers to be GF if you wish. I challenge carnivores to not like this burger, it was great tasting. The mains came in a deep metal billy can style dish. All food tasty and very filling. I had a tropical smoothie. I also had a piece of Amalfi lemon cake to take home. Vegano's kitchen closes down food service just 15 minutes before closing time, for those who fall foul of other establishments who decide to shut down an hour or more beforehand. Tsk tsk. Viva Vegano's and long may Beth spread her light amongst the customers. Absolute easy 10 star and Beth can have 20, lol. No animals were harmed in the writing of this review, rahhh!"

"Now THIS is an Italian restaurant nothing pretentious, nothing gimmicky, just amazingly well cooked, super tasty Italian food. The restaurant is lovely, homely and intimate, and the staff couldn 't be more welcoming and comforting. But all that is just the cherry on top of what it an amazing menu regardless of your tastes, there 's something on the menu for you, and it 's all cooked to the highest quality, with super fresh and excellent quality ingredients. There 's classic Italian pasta, meat and fish dishes, pizzas, as well as some more contemporary choices. My partner had the Sautéed Argentinian king Prawns in a garlicky sauce to start, followed by the Cannelloni di Pesce (seafood Cannelloni), both of which were sublime, the prawns were huge, the fish fresh, and nothing lacked in quantity, to the point she couldn 't finish the Cannelloni. I had the Cappesante Seared scallops, and some of the best scallops I 've ever had to be sure, and I 've had A LOT of scallops (unfortunately missed a photo of this one), followed by the Porgi l’artra Guancia a slow braised Ox cheek, served on a bed of creamy mash with a sauce and roasted vegetabled. The menu states, try it to believe it’s deliciousness! and I 'm still finding it hard to believe just how delicious it was genuinely a dish you 'll remember for a lifetime. Then we just finished it all off with a panacotta, which even that, as simple as it was, was perfectly made and presented! In short, we 'll be back soon, and time and time again; there 's nothing much we could find fault with in Monti 's, nothing at all..."
