Amazing food with extremely friendly staff. We had the set menu and would 100% recommend. Thought through dishes with a clear attention to details, and great quantities. The staff had great wine recommendations and took time to make us try a few options as well as explain everything! 10/10 experience!

I’d heard good things and Rogues didn’t disappoint. The service was warm and attentive. The food exquisite with real depth of flavour. One of my favourite meals this year. Incredible value for a tasting menu too. I WILL be back very very soon.

We came here for our anniversary meal in September. The food was exceptional – full of flavour, with diverse ingredients that felt both nourishing and indulgent. We went for the set menu at £51 per person, which was extraordinary value for the quality of food we received. We also tried some of the English Rosé, Assyrtiko orange wine, and Côtes du Rhône with each course – all expertly recommended by the sommelier without breaking the bank (£9-£13 per glass). With the service charge added, we spent £215 in total for both of us. As you can see from the pictures, everything was spot on.The service, though relaxed, was very good, and the ambience of the place was perfect for us – other couples on dates, people appreciating the unique wine selection, and even the music made it feel like a much more special experience. If you're like us and, for special occasions, you like to get the right balance between the restaurant feeling unique whilst experiencing an array of flavours and exploring new food and wine in a cool setting, then this is for you. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special occasion without the stuffiness of more traditional places – it’s cool, unique, and the quality of the food is some of the best in London.

Unreal experience. The food is incredible. My partner didn’t want fish so they amended their set menu specifically for her. The atmosphere is incredible and you never felt rushed to leave. Couldn’t recommend this place much more.

Very good service. Quick response and easy to book. Marlow sorted everything out for us quickly and efficiently. Very friendly and helped explain a few things to help us in the future too. Would use again and recommend.

I was very happy with Certified Electricians London. This is the second time I used their services. David was very friendly and fast to reply to my email to replace a ceiling light. The booking was arranged promptly and the work done on time by Luke. The process was very efficient. I recommend them for electrical work and I will use them again in the future.

I have called on Certified Electricians London Ltd three times now and I couldn't be more impressed with the service! From the moment I contacted them, the communication was prompt, professional, and clear. After sending photos or short videos via text message or WhatsApp to help diagnose my issues, they scheduled an appointment quickly and arrived on time on each occasion. I saw their van on my way to work one morning and took a photo of their contact details painted on the side. What fortunate serendipity that has proved to be! Marlowe, my electrician on all three occasions, was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and efficient, quickly diagnosing and resolving the electrical issue I had on the first two occasions. He took the time to explain what was happening and offered helpful advice on how to prevent future problems. On the third occasion he fitted outdoor sockets and fitted a new ceiling light. All the work was completed to a high standard, and he made sure everything was in perfect working order before leaving. On top of the technical skills, I really appreciated how friendly, respectful, and tidy he was throughout the process. It's not every day that you encounter such great customer service alongside top-notch workmanship. I highly recommend David’s team at Certified Electricians London Ltd for any electrical needs and will definitely be calling them for future projects.

David did an excellent job of identifying the best spot for our plug and adding it in. I thought it was an excellent touch that the plug socket colour matched the rest of the flat. Will be using them again!

Robert was super friendly and quick. Explained everything he needed to do - will definitely be calling again when I need work. Thanks again!

Rating: 5 / 5

Robert solved a somewhat complicated wiring problem very efficiently. He explained very clearly what the issue was and how he was going to solve it. He came highly recommended from a friend of mine and I understand why. Will be asking him for help again.

Responded quickly to a request for a quote. Gave a fair price and fitted us in quickly which as a landlord was reassuring. Fitted new smoke detectors following a fault. Arrived promptly, tidy work and cleaned up afterwards. Kept the tenant happy and kept in contact with me about all progress. Efficient service and prompt billing.

Rating: 5 / 5

Robert was great, he came on time and efficiently got the job done. Explained the issue and options, didn’t rush but didn’t overcharge either. If I need anything else in the future I will ask Robert again.

I've been using Mr. Magic's services for years now, and he’s been fantastic! He helped me remove the old lighting in my previous house, and a year later, I called him back to install an EV charger and new lights in my new place. He really takes pride in his work, and his attention to detail is top-notch. I'll definitely keep using his services for any future electrical work!

Rating: 5 / 5

Magic was quick to respond to my request to install some light fittings and managed to fit us in the same week. He did a great job and the lights look great, would recommend him to anyone who needs a friendly, reliable electrician. I'll be using him for any future electrical jobs!

I would recommend Mr Magic to everyone he came on time was polite and was reasonably in price

Rating: 5 / 5

Magic & team provided outstanding service at short notice, stepping in to install 5 electrical boxes centrally in 5 classrooms during half-term in time for when the learners return. They were not only efficient but also maintained exceptional cleanliness throughout the job. In addition to the electrical work, they went above and beyond by including RJ45 cabling within heavy-duty conduit, which was a huge bonus for our setup. Highly recommend their expertise and professionalism – a top-notch job from start to finish!

Overall, Paul provided a professional and personable installation service of the Fusebox (18th edition). Persistent and meticulous in his electrical diagnostics, he was eventually able to locate the faulty wiring, and replace the cables and socket plates. In addition, I was impressed by his post-installation guidance on the monthly testing of surge protection switches. I highly recommend his services.

Rating: 5 / 5

Paul was a pleasure to work with. A nice person who communicates clearly and promptly. Tidy & professional and pricing consistent with others. Did a great job on installing a fire alarm network for a 3 to 4 storey house with 4 flats, an EICR upgrade on communal area and some minor works. Efficient, thorough and worked to get it done as quickly as possible.

Rating: 5 / 5

Paul was very professional, did all the work very efficiently and fast. He’s very skilled, knowledgeable, professional and clean. The price was very reasonable. I’m very happy and will definitely use his services again in the future. Highly recommended!

Had a ceiling lamp installed, and the service was excellent. The process was very smooth, the installation was tidy, and the quality of work was great. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Jema Electrical (Jeremy) enough. We had 4 electricians in before him, 2 of of which were fully certified. With all due respect to the 4 of them, we through loads of money in the bin and the issue never got sorted, sadly. Jeremy knows his stuff and breaks it down in such an easy way to understand... not to mention he DID sort our electricity out faster than any of others with their time spent in our flat trying. Best electrician we had helping us, hands down. Thank you Jeremy.

Rating: 5 / 5

I recently contacted Jeremy for an electrical check on a new house, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. He was also very friendly throughout the entire process. His competence and professionalism were evident from the start—he thoroughly inspected every detail and took the time to answer all of my questions in a clear and helpful manner. What stood out most was how quickly he sent over the detailed report; it was in my inbox almost immediately after the inspection was completed. I felt confident in his assessment and appreciated his transparency.

Rating: 5 / 5

Prompt, punctual, very friendly and helpful, very efficient and very fair price. Will only use Jema Electrical from now on. Arrived within 45 minutes on a Sunday evening, did the job at the agreed price, and even offered to take a look at another issue while already there at no extra charge.

We enjoyed dining at Miga for lunch today. We ordered the fried chicken thighs (did not have too much meat though), enjoyed the mung bean cake, the short rib was delicious and the spinach side was fantastic! The ox bone broth was too bland for our liking and lacked flavour. Overall, decent experience.

Rating: 5 / 5

Flawless experience in food and service. Tour de force of dishes, each exploding with flavor and visual appeal. I can’t rave about the duck or the rib enough. We gleefully ate each plate and found the praise the restaurant has received well deserved. The service we experienced was warm and prompt. Recommendations received were spot on. A must-visit restaurant for sure.

Rating: 5 / 5

Went in to this with high anticipation. And it was fabulous. A family run business with a curated short menu. The star of the show is the beef short rib. My god it packs a serious punch. The sauce is so flavoursome and the salad with dressing is really delicious. A perfect well balanced dish. Also had the japchae, fried tofu and oxtail soup all of which was delicious. Staff are proud of their work and very helpful. An immaculate place.

Went for lunch and loved EVERYTHING about this place. This place is bookable 28 days in advance, make sure you have a booking. The menu does change between lunch and dinner and I think they suggested there were more changes coming. Be open minded and just enjoy whatever may be available. I was gutted there was no tartare but ready to come back to try more dishes for a dinner setting. It’s a beautiful space, nice spaces between the tables which is rare in a London restaurant. The restaurant is currently BYOB was a great work. The experience from start to finish was incredible. Every person who served us was friendly, kind and just great at the job. All the dishes we ate were 5*. Between two we shared: prawns, cucumber kimchee, ox broth noodles, chicken, short rib rice dishes. I would recommend all of them but in particular the short rib and the noodles in broth. Couldn’t fault this place, highly recommend and can’t wait to go back to try some new dishes!

An absolute win, discovering this little gem, so close to home. The staff were so lovely, engaging, and helpful with the menu. The food, out quick, and super delicious, also cheep! The atmosphere is dusty (in a good way) it reminded me of cafe’s I visited in Istanbul. The books along the wall are a great additive. The facilities were clean, everything was presented with class. I'll definitely be back!

Very cute little café on Stoke Newington High Street serving amazing coffee. We had the pleasure of trying a seasonal offer tahini maple latte which was delightful. Their mocha very rich and creamy. Great selection of cakes, pastries and breakfast and brunch foods both vegan and non-vegan. To eat we had the Damascus and the baklava french toast. The former was a nice variety of very tasty foods, although I was left just a little disappointed with the portions especially when compared to the other dish which was absolutely massive. The french toast and cream was delicious, (perhaps even a little too much cream dare I say!) but definitely not for those who aren't craving anything sweet at the moment. To conclude, we will definitely be back to try all of the other dishes, because they all looked incredible going past our table!

Rating: 5 / 5

Highly recommend the Tahini latte ☕️!! It has a thicker texture than regular latte but soooooo yum, you can smell and taste the tahini in it, blended in in a warm, soulful way☀️ I had a Damascus and my friend ordered the Harkney Feast. The babaganoush & hummus in the Damascus goes really well with the pita so I dived right in and didn’t worry about making my hands messy, haha! Everything’s made in the house, including tomato baked beans in the Hackney Feast🍅 it doesn’t have the fake sweetness of all canned beans and the sausage is tender & soft~ They also have no-added-sugar smoothies 🍓 which is perfect for warm weathers.

Omg! Beautiful brunch here! I got the Morning Palestine dish and it was sensational! The muhammra was so tasty, so was the sesame bread and everything else! The highlight was definitely the baklava french toast! 100% recommend! Amazing pistachio flavor and crunch! Would so recommend! Prices are on the higher price, the vibe inside in nice, our waiter was lovely, one of the waitress looked like she didn’t want to be there but overall we had a great brunch!

A wonderful Job. The truncking was discretely managed in our Victorian house without looking obvious. Thoughtful and clean workers.Will be using them again.

Aziz arrived on time and was very helpful and polite. He and his colleague fixed my bathroom light switch and installed 2x sockets just as I wanted and ensured everywhere was left tidy. Highly recommended and I will be using his services again.

Rating: 4 / 5

Satisfied customer. Lounge refurb. Lights, switches,sockets. Wiring, chasing in. Walls already very bad so patresses were sometimes less than completely horizontal. Morrocan sourced pendants needed reworking. Abdul did it all. Came back at short notice to fix one pendant and eventually sourced to a faulty bulb. Reasonably priced and went the extra.

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic service - courteous and incredibly knowledgeable. Not only did they arrive within 1 hour to central London but demonstrated their vast experience and found the fault straight away. Fixed things quickly, cleanly and calmly. Explained the process professionally throughout, and was lovely and friendly. Pricing clearly stated and honest. 10/10 would 100% recommend.

Amy and her team are the epitome of professionalism and quality. They provide a communicative, thorough and efficient service and I could not recommend them enough. We won’t be using anyone else in future

Rating: 5 / 5

Usually inviting tradesmen into the home is a stressful and traumatic experience. Amy and her team are just the opposite. They’re lightning fast, work super hard, and are extremely professional and polite. Just a joy to have around. Amy is very clear with her pricing, no surprise costs. They’re really respectful and careful of your home—shoes off, no touching of freshly painted walls, tidied up after themselves, vacuumed etc. They really know their stuff, I’ll be recommending to anyone who asks if I know an electrician!

Rating: 5 / 5

Fabulous electricians - great problem solvers and their work is first rate. Worked hard all day and left the room clean and tidy at the end (including putting floorboards back into place after having had to lift them). We have used their services before and recommended them to friends who were equally delighted. They are our “go to” electricians!

Rating: 5 / 5

Great service from Amy's Electrics on installation of bathroom extractor and new replacement ceiling lights for a kitchen. Helpful, punctual and an all-round good experience. Would 100% use for future work.
