"You can find The Sister restaurant on Kelvingrove Street up the steepest stairs in Glasgow thank goodness I wore reasonably low heels : As the dining room was absolutely packed I never took any pictures, I don't really like to get in people's face too much with my camera. The vibe tho is grown up, serene and subdued in the best ways, the cream walls were dotted with beautiful abstract art in shades of grey, there was a large fireplace feature, soothing just audible music, fresh red roses on the table (it was valentines! linen table cloths. It was beautiful and even though it was jumping it felt like a calm and soothing environment. The staff were exactly what you would expect from a restaurant like the Sister delightful. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast...probably faster than it normally would be due to the date, having said that I never once felt rushed or harassed the staff were just sharp and on the ball with clearing plates. The menu at the sisters is like a love letter to Scotland, it was loaded with haggis, black pudding, fish, venison, beef cheeks, clootie dumpling and puff candy. It was like head chef Jackie O'Donnell had stepped into my childhood and brought all those foods into the 21st century. I could very easily have chosen any dish on offer from each course, it's an utterly lush menu. In the end I decided to try the haggis, neeps and tatties to start, I never took pictures of the menu so I forget the exact description of the dish. My first thought upon seeing my dish was wow! There was a puddle of glossy gravy, in the middle was a large haggis cake topped with neeps and a fritter....yes a freakin FRITTER!! I was beside myself as I am sure by now you know how I feel about fritters. The food was utterly gorgeous and without fault, the haggis was tasty and slightly spicy, the neeps were light and creamy, and the fritter was crisp and perfect. Gorgeous! For my main I finally decided on the Chicken breast with Stornoway black pudding, creamed leeks a red wine jus with a side of Rooster tatties market vegetables to share. Again visually it was so beautiful to look at. Taste wise it was amazing, the chicken was moist and tender, the creamed leeks still had bite and were seasoned to perfection, the big wedge of black pudding was soft and crumbly, the mash was silky and the red wine jus was lush and decedent. The side was also a triumph the roasted potatoes were crispy golden nuggets of joy and the veg was incredibly tasty, I even liked the broccoli (I hate broccoli but I loved however they cooked it. After all that food dessert was touch and go for a while, but there was no way I could leave without trying the Puff candy meringue with honeycomb, ice cream hot butterscotch sauce. Now lets not kid ourselves this dish it basically a plate of sugar in various forms.....but boy what a plate of sugar it was. The puff candy meringue was light and delicate, the honeycomb was crunchy and sweet and the butterscotch sauce was thick and creamy. This dessert is as good as desserts get. It was a stunning gift from the sugar gods! All in all a pretty exceptional meal and up there with the best I have eaten in Glasgow without question. This is a must try restaurant for me and I will definitely visit again very soon."

"This place is simply too expensive for what is delivered. There’s nothing wrong with the food per se, but the prices are astronomical. We ate the leek tart, as a starter and it was £12. It was fine, but didn’t deliver the impact we were expecting for the price. It wasn’t made fresh, and the side salad was dripping in bog standard vinaigrette. Not inedible, but nothing special. I had the salt and chilli squid with ‘Asian slaw’. I was expecting flavours of coriander, lemongrass, lime, mint; all what I would consider pan-Asian flavours. When the dish arrived I could see straight away it was not to be! Instead of what I’ve described there was a fairly ordinary looking salad, swimming in a pool of (what tasted like) supermarket hoi-sin sauce. Really too much and overly sweet. The squid itself was well cooked but a very sparse portion for £16. Other dishes included lobster, at almost £60 (market price apparently) which was competent but came with bought in chips. No flavour to chips, they were semi-stale. We had higher hopes, I’m afraid. The service and atmosphere were perfectly fine, no issues there. Staff were efficient and friendly. I’m afraid for us, holidaymakers willing to spend money, this restaurant doesn’t represent good value. I enjoy eating out, but I hate feeling ripped off…and I’m sorry to say, that’s how dining at ‘The Potted Lobster’ felt. Save yourself the bother and go to the local butcher/pie shop a few doors down. They were doing a roaring trade and I can see why!"

Big Moe's Diner

Big Moe's Diner

Jenkins Lane, Newham, United Kingdom

Steak • Halal • American • Breakfast


"the first American diner opened in 1872, originally as prefabricated almost food restaurant, which developed over the decades to become slimmer and retro. with his development over the years, she revolutionized the American food culture. in the 1950s it became a symbol of optimism and a substantial part of American city culture. in the non-half market arena popularity for American diner restaurants in london has seen a considerable growth, but for Muslim consumers authentic American diner restaurants with halal meat are still rarely found. big moe has met around a decade ago the halal scene with her Beckton bronch, which includes the driving concept synonymously with american diners and finally provides halal food adventurers, the nostalgic and authentic 1950s American diner experience that we longed. big Moe’s has finally opened its second filiale in aldgate, which captures the spirit of the US diner culture with an elegant classic 1950s interior, equipped with a counterpiece, hockey, mini jukebox, 1950s old memory piece and a show-stopping real 1950s chevrolet Bel-Air takes center piece. a team of 13-country workers was involved in bringing their vision to life. the anesthetic of the 1950s-diner era is so well captured that they would forgive if they really felt as if they had resigned in the time. Counter and HockerReal 50 chevrolet Bel-AirJuke Box.Booth seat. for beginners we ordered the family release plate consisting of bbq chicken wings, cheesy garlic bread, stuffed potato skins, mozzarella sticks and wobble rings. the chicken wings were well seasoned, slightly sticky with a delicious grill glaze. the wings were the superlative component of this Sharing plate, with the other elements either up to average or moderate. we found the teig on the thorn rings too crispy for our lust and the potato skins did not seem seasonal. according to our opinion, a chop meat that sleeps on the potato skins to replace the chewing mushrooms, the potato skins would really turn into something more attractive to the taste buds. Nevertheless, the Sharing plate is a copacetic acid option if you want to eat in a group and taste a few dishes. the Diner-mite burger, consisted of two reefed beef patents, smoked chicken sprouts, cajun tweeper rings, smokey barbeque sauce, grated red tweebel, sun ripe tomato, fresh salate and covered with melted ripe Cheddar cheese. that is personally my favourite of big Moe’s. the patty was exceptionally well spiced, with a hauch of spicing through. the patty was beautiful and fleshy, but it was well cooked, so not as succulent as I would have preferred. the smokey skin rashes were divine, with the addition of the caramelized tweezers and grill sauce, which added more taste depth. the wobble rings, slightly reduced my Burger friend, as the teig was a bit too thick for my lust, plus the wobble rings missing season. the sweet potato friars were good, but a touch more would have made them a magnificent one. the tiger prawns were coated in a delicious spicy marinat with a perfect balance of Indian flavors with a hauch of chili, so that the garnelen a kick without exaggerating the fat taste of the marinat. we found the garnels to overcook, maybe for Asian customers who actually cook in the like their garnels to not back. on the other hand, as our garnels juicy and juicy, what would have been achieved if they had been cooked for a few seconds. Although the garnels were overcooked, the taste was prominent and addictive and was juicy, then they would have been sensational. the BBQ clips of big moe; fire grilled and glazed with big moe grill sauce and served with cajun wobble rings and big moe hand cut chips. the ribs, in the middle of the rack, were salacically succultivated, tender, sticky, smokey and sweet; truly divine. However, since it is bark ribs, there was plenty of fat, that was unpalatable. also the edges of the ribs were carburized and the bark was dry and burned. personally, even if I enjoyed the ribs (where there was only meat) a lamb rib option might be a more pleasant alternative. the hand-cut skin on the chips was rustic and gourmet in taste and exceptional appetit. the signature slider of big moe consist of a trio of their best burger – classic beef, diner-center and texan chicken strip, all in freshly baked mini-brown backs. a great option if you can not decide which burger to order. if it came to the taste test, the mini Diner-mite burger would be the right winner for us. the patty was well seasoned with adding the BBQ sauce enough. the classic rindburger was not really to our pleasure, simply because we prefer additional aromas and textures that combine well together to give a truly gastronomic burger experience. this is a burger who would turn to those who prefer simple aromen. for drinks we ordered the oreo milkshake and freshly pressed lemonade. the oreo milkshake was of a very thick consistency that it initially felt like the drawing of thick vanilla ice cream that remained unavoidably stuck in the rough. but as the meal progressed, the milkshake had time to melt and once it was of a lighter consistency, the oreo aroma was prominent and was a pleasant milkshake. we have all 3 aromes of big moes freshly pressed limonade – original, earthberry and lime. the lime was our favorite, followed by the strawberry, with the original, not entirely to our joy. both beverages were refreshing, with the lime and earthy taste passing through. that were great, purer after so hearty eating. for dessert we ordered the hot chocolate fudge sundae, a combination of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, with whipped cream, cadburys flocke, a selection of wafers and served with a special side of hot chocolate fudge sauce to pour. that was a delightful and excellent dessert. the velvety gelato ice coated the palate with smooth chocolate joy, the bright and airy cream was perfect with the rich hot chocolate wing sauce, which was sensational gastronomic. we also ordered the strawberry chocolate waffel – freshly made waffel, generously lined with Nutella chocolate, then covered with fresh strawberry slices with chocolate flakes and served with vanilla ice cream. the waffel was light and airy and in the did generously lubricated in Nutella sauce, with the strawberry, which added fresh to the rich nutella. with only another half American diner franchise in london, we believe that big moes is a step above his rival to bring a hauch from American diner culture to the British halal market. the authentic American diner concept of the 1950s is brought to life exceptionally well in the Aldgate industry of big moe, which is left behind with nostalgia feelings and transported back to a bygone time. No matter whether it is classy American or not, big Moe’s is certainly a place that would appeal families with children. Although some dishes are better done than others, the portions are hearty and there is a little something for everyone. follow big Moe’s 1950s halal food journey. *We were invited to review."
