I visited Dishoom with friends for a brunch for a friend's birthday. The food and service was excellent. All the staff were friendly, wished my friend Happy Birthday throughout our stay, and were extremely courteous. We all enjoyed the meal and the birthday treat we shared on Dishoom. Half eaten before, we even recommended taking a photo. 😋 I would highly recommend Dishoom Shoreditch to others. Thank you!!

I felt so special here! Came for dinner and breakfast and I had an amazing time each visit. The staff is insanely personable & they’re always willing to help you better understand the menu. This place is worth all the hype it gets, I’ll definitely be back the next time I visit the UK.

I have had a problem with Indian food in the recent years. I was missing a reference point, great food wholeheartedly enjoyed. Worth remembering for the future to compare this to other places. Finally I found that place and it was Dishoom  Shoreditch. Amazing food, full of flavors and surprises, food where you think that you order too much of and then it turns out that it is so good that you have to finish it no matter what. Be prepared for a long wait for a table, but it is worth doing it. The wait time is sweetened - you wait at a bar serving very good  drinks. Once you are seated the food arrives quickly and is amazingly good. So for now I got my reference point for Indian food. Thanks Dashoom.

Aziz arrived an hour after I called and from start to finish he was courteous, diligent, professional and knowledgeable. He explained every step and answered all of my questions with great patience. His rates are exceedingly reasonable and I would not hesitate to use his services again should I have issues in the future.

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.

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.

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.

Yesterday, we attended a group of 15 sisters from the Shade Centre. The food was astounding, the service was excellent and the brothers went out of their way to cater for our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed the smoke and platter and the prawns were very delicious and the flavours were on point They also provided a prayer space so it is inclusive. Definitely worth a visit and will be visiting again.

I recently visited Smoke End for an evening dinner with friends after hearing several recommendations, and it did not disappoint. The aesthetics of the restaurant were impressive, creating a high-class atmosphere with beautiful, stylish furniture. The ambiance definitely added to the experience. Service was excellent—the owner frequently checked in to ensure we were satisfied, and the staff was attentive and efficient. Our food arrived promptly, with a level of service that reminded me of upscale city dining. I ordered the steak, cooked precisely to my liking, paired with a perfectly seasoned mushroom sauce. We also shared the loaded fries, which were presented elegantly. The fries had a delightful contrast: a crisp crust on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of chili flavor. I would highly recommend Smoke End and am already looking forward to my next visit!

Food tasted amazing! First time going there and would definitely go again. Service was a 10/10, clean atmosphere and food is made fresh. Desserts were always tasty, would recommend the tiramisu and chocolate fondant!

Fair pricing for the food, which was great quality, cooked to perfection. Service was pretty good, approx 15/20 mins wait. They didn't provide tap water, although they provided one bottle of water free of charge. All in all, it was a worthwhile impromptu visit. Spent a total of £75 for 2 people (T-bone steak & Salmon with extras as pictured).

It's good stuff. Having tried pretty much every oat flat white in Hackney Wick (feel embarrassed typing this), theirs is miles ahead of every other. Got a bag of Peruvian beans and they're also great. Just wish they had a couple of tables inside now it's getting a little too cold to sit outside. 10/10 no notes

“Bad” is anything but bad—this coffee shop is a hidden gem! The coffee is exceptional, with rich, bold flavors that surpass expectations. The baristas are skilled and friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming, perfect for relaxing or working. Their attention to detail in every cup is impressive, making it clear they take coffee seriously. It’s ironic they’re called “Bad” because everything here is incredible. A must-visit for any coffee enthusiast!

I've been here a few times now and the coffee has been very consistent. I ordered a flat white which was deliciously smooth and had some fruity notes. The baristas definitely know how to make a good cup of coffee.

I had a very good cappuccino here this morning. The good points: 1. Gave me no lid on the take away cup. I like this because it's taking a positive stand against plastic waste! 2. Price was £3.20 which is good value 3. Finally, the coffee tasted pretty much perfect, just the right strength and size. I shall be making this a regular stop for my coffees, I just hope it tastes this good every time!!!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! They went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten-free dietary needs, making me feel completely at ease. The fresh juice was a refreshing treat, and everything I tasted was absolutely delicious. It’s a wonderful spot for both food and drinks, with a welcoming ambiance that makes you want to linger. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite coffee spots in London! The coffee here is absolutely amazing – rich, authentic, and always feels like a proper cup of coffee. They have a great variety of vegan options, which is a big plus. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the shop always being clean and well-maintained. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit a pleasant experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for quality coffee and a cozy spot to relax!

Antonio welcomed us with such warmth, we felt like privileged locals! Immediately we were very happy to be here having come all the way from SE5 to visit this fabulous independent cafe! The atmosphere was warm, friendly and felt so welcoming and that’s entirely down to the care and hospitality Antonio brings. We were delighted with our food which was served quickly and which was DELICIOUS! Excellent quality food, perfect portions and the food was carefully and thoughtfully prepared. There is a great variety on the menu, lots of plant based food, and superb coffee. We were not disappointed at all having made the journey, we left feeling like we’d just visited precious friends for a meal and we will definitely be back. Thank you Antonio! Outside the tables have a book on them if you don’t want to scroll on your phone, a really nice touch. And the cafe is dog friendly - extra awesome 🙌🏼

A wonderful cafe with lots of books and seating. Good music and nice ambient. Tables inside with power sockets are great for working and its unusually late opening times means people can work for longer in the evening hours too. Had the veggie breakfast which was excellent. Hopefully there are more food selections on the menu especially hot/comfort food as the weather gets colder. The staff were really friendly and they sell coffee beans as well.

I had the vegan breakfast at this spot for the first time on Boxing Day in 2025. From the moment I arrived, I felt immensely welcome and considered. The owners take great pride in their coffee, not only how it tastes, but also how it's ethically sourced. I came for food and a smoothie, but was convinced to try their coffee and was very glad that I did. The food was healthy, delicious and the smoothie also spot on. I'll be coming back to this spot many times more.

Had a great experience with Dion and his team. He was responsive, highly professional and most importantly did an excellent job with a multi stage project that was pretty complex. Can’t recommend Volt highly enough if you’re looking for top quality electrical work from a local business.

After my previous go-to electrician left London, I’m really happy to have discovered Dion and his colleague Conni. Dion is easy to get in touch with (you can start a WhatsApp chat via the website), and they are both friendly, patient, and reliable. Dion undertook an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) on a property I was in the process of purchasing. The fee for this was competitive and Dion was happy to offer a follow up call to go through the contents of the report, so I could ask questions and clarify any issues or actions required. I’ve since had Dion and Conni back to remove/replace some pendant lights and replace a defective power socket. They were in and out like ninjas - efficient and tidy! All in all I’m very happy with the service provided and I won’t hesitate to engage them again in future!

We just bought a property with a really old fuse box which needed replacing. Allister did the replacement with a very professional manner. He was friendly, communicated very clearly and came across as very knowledgeable :) He did a very thorough test throughout the flat after the replacement. He also took the time to explain the fuse box and what each fuse does and how to maintain it. On top of that he also helped us troubleshoot some other electrical kinks in the property which really helped in putting our minds at ease on the safety of a few electrical items. All in all a great experience!

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!

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!

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.

The first visit was from David and he got part of the lighting working for us within two hours; however, due to time constraints a return visit was planned for 8am the following day. The second visit was by Marlowe and he spent 4 hours fault finding and rectifying the issues. Marlowe was very thorough and got the lighting working properly for the first time since we moved in 7 years ago. This is the second time we have used this company and I will definitely use them again. The service is prompt, they are always on time and they just do the job in the most efficient and cost effective way.
