"Just enjoyed our take away from Sami’s and had to write to let any coeliacs know that, if you’re looking for delicious kosher food with plenty of gluten-free options, then this is definitely the place for you. Firstly, the lady taking our order over the phone was extremely clued in with what was suitable for coeliacs. This was possibly the first time ever I can remember being told, completely unprompted, that any of the fried foods would not be suitable due to cross-contamination with the oil, where shnitzel and other food products share the oil. What impressed me equally was that she offered for the chef to wipe down the grill for any meat or chicken I may order, as normally the pita uses the same grill, rendering it unsuitable for gluten-free customers. I was really very pleasantly surprised at her level of knowledge (possibly she’s a coeliac, too? . There are virtually no kosher restaurants in London where I’m guaranteed even one soup on the menu that is gluten-free. Here there were 3, as well as the option of choosing the chicken soup (but without the extras . Usually the restaurants say that the stock they use isn’t suitable so when I find a restaurant with a choice of soups I feel truly spoilt! Finally, I must make the important point that the lady taking my order was extremely polite and patient over the phone, and I didn’t feel under any pressure to make a quick decision over the phone. Despite not being English, she understood me perfectly, I didn’t have to spend ages spelling out my requirements (something which I often gave to do with other North West London kosher restaurants! and she was extremely efficient. Thank you so much, Sami’s. We have just finished eating and our meal was DELICIOUS!"

"I visited my elderly Mum today, she suggested going to the Derby Arms for a roast dinner as she'd eaten there recently with my sister. However they were fully booked, so I looked online and found Galu. The reviews were great and my Mum has only ever heard good things from friends and neighbours. So I called and booked for 12:45 Sunday 21st Jan 2024. We were both pleasantly surprised to see roast dinners on the menu ... Mum order lamb and I ordered beef part of their set menu. When the dinners arrived, you could see straight away that the lamb was Very Fatty (not even crispy) when my my tried eating it, it was both tough and chewy! As for the beef, this was cooked ok and edible, although I asked for the beef to be medium, but it was more well done. The waiter came over to ask if the meal was ok, I highlighted how the lamb was... the manager then came over and offered my Mum a slice of beef to compensate, bearing in mind she ordered lamb. Mum subsequently found that some of her roast potatoes were hard inside! I finished my meal, but could see Mum really didn't enjoy hers leaving a substantial amount on her plate, and having tried her lamb it really was inedible! We were then offered a full list of desserts rather than the set menu, having chocolate brownie and creme brûlée (both were gorgeous) When the bill arrived, I was hoping they would have somehow made amends, but alas no ... as Mum doesn't like to cause a fuss and it was her treat, I decided not to say anything, although the staff manager could tell we weren't happy. Having come from East Sussex for the day and regularly have great Sunday roasts in local pubs, I was hoping for something special in this restaurant, but sadly that wasn't the case. In fact it's probably one of the worst roast dinners I've had in a long time. I very much doubt we'll return ..."
