Service was perfect, food was delicious but atmosphere was ok Our order was fish and chips

The food and atmosphere was lovely, but the service was slow. At the end of the meal we had to individually go up to the drinks bar to pay which was very crowded and felt unorganised, particularly as other staff members were confused why we were waiting to pay at the bar. Would have been better to bring a card machine to our table.

Large portion of fish and chips but not very tasty. Very nice atmosphere and polite employees. I would recommend this place.

One of the best Turkish restaurants out there. Taste is unbelievable. Beats other turkish restaurants I have rated a 5* for too in London. Brought my friends here that had flew in from abroad for a short visit and they all thanked me for making a great choice! Went for lamb iskender, well flavoured and cooked to perfection by chefs who know what they are doing. Will visit again.

Exceptional performance — both regarding service and the taste as quality of the food. The chicken was juicy and melted right off. Spices and vegetables used for the chicken sote were extremely well seasoned and cooked— you could taste that they did not overcook it at all and managed the perfect balance. Each vegetable was perfectly cooked and kept it’s original flavor. In combination with the used herbs and sauce it was an Overall wowing experience!

Delicious food, great service and very hospitable. Would definitely come here again. Personally I’m always on the lookout for great Turkish food and this place did NOT disappoint. Their Turkish food is authentic, tasty, and they were prompt and attentive. 5 starts all the way! I ordered the Adana kebab.

Amazing atmosphere with incredible service (ask for Fatih). Our reservation fell through and we ended up here which was a blessing - the flavours and freshness of the food are indescribable. I would 10/10 recommend for everyone to try.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch. Expected the place to be really busy but it wasn't. The table was ready when arrived. It took a while to get the order taken as the staff seemed busy, but they were helpful. The food was nice and a fair price. I have had better so I would give this 4 stars out of 5. Also had a Bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. A little pricey at £30 but tasty

Had a great experience at the Museum Tavern in London. The steak sandwich was delicious—juicy and flavorful, and the pie was outstanding with its rich filling and flaky crust. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot to unwind. Definitely recommend it for a satisfying mea and drink! Thank you 😊

Cozy. Chill. Historic. Price is very reasonable being right across the street from the British Museum. Food was really good. Not the best but very good. Fish and chips was definitely worth the price. We just traveled in from the US needing devices charge and Chandni was so very helpful and understanding all while taking care of all the other tables.

The Museum Tavern was very busy, which is always a good start. We soon found a table and perused the menu. The menu had something for everyone. With our food and drink choices complete, I went to the bar to place the order. The order was dealt with very quickly. It seemed the barman was very familiar with his menu. Drinks were soon prepared and back on our table. The pub has a nice atmosphere and a decor which reflects how pubs used to be 40 years ago. Minus the food of course. Our food order came in an acceptable time. The food was very hot and extremely tasty. Using the rest room is a bit of a trail. Down the stairs to the depths of the building. The bill for our food and drinks were very much on a par with other outlets in the area. All in all a pleasant experience.

Firstly, I want to start off by saying that the food was absolutely delicious. The food came after about 20 minutes. The staff were polite. The salad came last, which was surprising, but after eating, we realized it was because of the freshly made croutons. Overall, I really recommend this place if you have the money for it.

Perfect location for food before a show. We turned up without making a reservation and a seat was found for us. The service was prompt and the food was amazing the portion size was great. We were served fast but didn't feel rushed to leave. Would recommend to everyone one

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was quick and efficient, making our experience smooth and enjoyable. We especially loved the chicken con funghi and the salmon – both were cooked perfectly. The pizza had an authentic Italian taste, which we really appreciated, and there was a great variety of drinks to choose from. We walked to the restaurant, so we’re not sure about parking availability. However, we noticed there aren’t many menu options for kids. Portions are adult-sized, and younger children are charged at adult rates, so it may be less suitable for families with very young children. Overall, though, it's a fantastic dining experience, and we recommend them.

The café has a lovely location, but the table wasn’t cleaned when we arrived. Also, the bagel didn’t feel as authentic compared to what I’ve had before. However, the matcha latte was amazing!

I am absolutely obsessed with the Matcha Latte here - it’s perfection. And the croissant is buttery and flaky and exactly what you want. Their summer coolers are good too! Beware that they get really crowded during the morning rush.

Fell in love in this place on our trip to London. I will forever be thinking about their bagels and coffee - the chicken avocado bagel was better than some in Australia. The Matcha was also really nice, plus the art on top was so beautiful. The best part of this place had to be the bench’s facing the window, we all loved sitting here and people watching. Staff were so friendly and kind both times we visited. Honestly cannot wait to come back to London and come here!!

Lovely service, didn't have to wait long. Small menu, but the portions are big. Shared two desserts with my friends, The molten lava chocolate cake was to die for, and the pain perdu was a bit too sweet for my liking! Would go again!

I have been here twice now. The first time was a 10 minute wait at 4pm on a Tuesday. The second was a 50 minute wait at 5pm on a Friday. The food was better the second time I went. Sometimes they have a limited menu item like a T-bone steak or Wagyu burger (which are more expensive). The sauce tastes like a combination of butter, spices, mustard, maybe even pickle. Tastes a lot better than it sounds and highly recommend it, compliments the steak, fries and bread very well. The lighting in the window seats is a bit dim and would benefit from better lighting. The staff is very efficient and food arrives within 10 minutes. £19 includes all of the sides. There is a 5% service charge which I think is incredible value. Swiss Butter is a gem. I just think they could maybe benefit from a booking system, but an hour wait isn’t too bad if you expect it. I love it here. I’ll have to try the desserts someday.

Swiss butter is great. Queued up for an hour and a half on Saturday night around 19:30. Food took around 10 minutes to arrive and was good. Wasn’t hot but still fresh. Food itself tasted great. Butter sauce is well buttery and has a great tang to it. The meal is very filling. The lava cake desert is a must try it truly is very good. Glass bottled soft drinks are 3.50 each which is quite steep for 300ml. I’d advise you BOYD. We also asked for some tap water but only on the 3rd ask we got it which was odd. Our server taking the food was a bit quick but still good. Overall it’s a good thing to experience once. The price is great imo. But nothing something that warrants a repeat experience

This is an Italian cafe at Russell Square that is really good. They have a fair sized indoor seating area as well as plenty of tables outside if you want to enjoy nice weather. Opening hours are 7am to 6pm (weekdays) and 8am to 5pm (weekends). I found a queue on the morning. Service is friendly when placing orders and timely enough. Just 5 minute or so and I had ordered, paid and was looking for an open table. They have an all day menu of Italian dishes. I had a tomato, motz and pesto panini that was very good. Macchiato served was excellent, best I was served during this visit to London, perfect amount of milk and foam to cut the edge of the espresso without eliminating the flavour. Would gladly take a light morning meal here again based on this experience and would seek Caffe Tropea out for coffee next time in the city. What they served was excellent.

If you visit Bloomsbury you need to try this beautiful place. The staff are amazing the first night Lea looked after us. We initially just went out for drinks but ended up eating there two nights in a row. The place itself is gorgeous and cosy. The food was lovely we had the rum battered fish and chips and was really the best fish we’ve had in a long time. Definitely recommend and be back at some point.

Fantastic Sunday roast. Turkey was moist and flavourful. Mushroom and sweet potato wellington was also very tasty and balanced. All the trimmings were great, especially the creamed corn. The waitress was extremely attentive and even managed to get the kitchen to prepare the food for us despite it usually being first come first serve. The food took a little long to come (because of it being prepped fresh) but because of the wait, we had some complimentary items. Really beautiful setting too! Great place to have a meal

The service here was amazing, and the food served is great. Everything comes out quickly and is tasty. There is a decent selection of vegetarian options. Bonus - they offer student discount! However, keep in mind that it was really noisy and the tables are shared, so maybe not great for dates or long dinners.

We were exceptionally pleased with our meal. I ordered the King chili Prawns with a side of Jasmine rice. The spice and flavor levels were great.The vegetables were crispy and fresh with prawns cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the Crispy duck noodles and did nothing but rave about them while consuming every available bite. The atmosphere of the restaurant is comfortable yet stylish. There is a private dining space downstairs that would be perfect for a family or work event.

The Dalloway Terrace is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding—every dish was delicious, with only the chicken being slightly dry, but the overall experience more than made up for it. The coffee was simply perfect, and the service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly attentive, warm, and genuinely kind, making the whole visit a pleasure. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

I visited for afternoon tea on Tuesday, December 10, at 3:15 PM, and Alejandro, the manager on duty during that time, was absolutely AMAZING. He went above and beyond by bringing my dog, Apollo, a dog bed and a treat. I was genuinely impressed by his thoughtfulness and exceptional service! He also took photos of us! Alejandro is the reason I’ll be coming back. Please give him a raise, promote him—whatever it takes to keep such a gem on your team!

Table for 5, shared starters. The beef tartare was incredible. Mains were good, salmon was very basic, the fries were not to my liking. Really pretty at Christmas time. Was a nice meal but wouldn’t be in a rush to go back, the food didn’t have that Wow about it.

Lately, this is the best place I had visited in London when it comes to hospitality, service & ambience. Me & my husband had ordered pre- theatre menu & we were glad we chose to dine here before new show in the town , and this place is just behind the dominion theatre. I had visited Dalloway back in 2018 for breakfast with my friend & had good memories, so we decided to dine here as in pre theatre menu we had lots of vegetarian options so we both could share. Staff were very courteous, friendly & patient including door attendants. Zenka served us with so much care, love & hands down great hospitality throughout. Industry needs more people like her, who make the whole experience delightful which is rarity these days even in fine restaurants. We had such a great time here, enjoying food and everything thats needed to make it a wonderful & memorable evening. Place was very quiet & tranquil & ideally lit. They even made our drink Mandarin Mimosa- non alcoholic to our taste We absolutely loved the whole experience & Sticky toffee pudding is really the must try.

We had a lovely brunch for our anniversary. The atmosphere was perfect and calm, staff were very friendly and the food was fantastic. They had lovely veg options and they were delicious. They even brought out a little plate with happy anniversary and 2 cakes as a treat which was lovely. Overall fantastic experience, we did see a family with a small child who was also very well catered for so we will be coming back with our little one too!
