I totally underestimated this place! I thought it was just another burger joint. How wrong I was!!! Stepping in it felt like I had travelled time and space and found myself somewhere in middle America. The food is great, the burgers are amazing (they go from a minimum of two patties to a maximum of six! So good!). The bourbon wings are addictive. The selection of Bourbon is mind blowing. Here I had the best Old Fashioned I ever had in London. The music was amazing, incredible!!! What a hidden gem.

Really impressive burgers! Great, unique place, lovely staff and a little live music to boot! If you live in the area, pop down for an unexpectedly lovely night out without having to go more central!

the owner is very involved in the business; he does a bit of everything and chats with the guests adding very interesting trivia about the place. He made our experience very pleasant and interesting food and cocktails were amazing we'll definitely be back

This is a great place to enjoy good whiskeys and bourbons and also they are serving one of the most beautiful burgers in town. Ample selection of whiskeys and bourbons. Every time I visit they extend their drinks menu. So if you like to taste new brands this is you go to place. Just go to bar for a drink you can learn all about whiskeys and bourbons from the owner. On top of that there is a live music some evenings. Amazing place.

“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’ve been ordering from Meat Up since the day they opened, and let me tell you this place is nothing short of amazing. From day one, they’ve been consistently delivering some of the best burgers I’ve ever had, if not the best. I can’t recommend the Buttermilk Chicken Burger enough it’s perfect. But if you’re craving something more meaty, the Truffle Double is an absolute must-try. It’s juicy, rich, with flavour in every bite. Oh and don’t get to down it all with the lovely daiquiri. One last thing people don’t mention enough is the sauces. They compliment the burgers and chips so well. Highly recommend this place to everyone!”

“Da Terra A New Bar , a New Kitchen and New dishes on the menu all made for another amazing dining experience at Da Terra. We were given a warm welcome on arrival before being escorted into to the bar which is now where your lunch / dinner will begin. Here you can relax with a cocktail or glass of champagne while you enjoy some delicious Snacks and a chat with the team. Then you’ll be taken across into the refurbished dining room and see the new kitchen. We took our seats at our customary Table 10 and waited for the festivities to begin. First it was a chat with top sommelier Maria to discuss our wine preference. Now it was time for the New first course and stunning it was to. The Hamachi Pumpkin / Jackfruit/ Tucupi was absolutely delicious. This was followed by the The Quail , Tortellini in Brodo / Black Truffle , Sourdough , The Moqueca before the arrival of the amazing New main course. The British Wagyu Beef , Cep / Cavolo Nero / Lobster Rice personally I thought it was the stand out dish of the day. Next to come was the Romeo and Juliette (cheese course) , the Baba before finishing with the New dessert of Fig , Sheep Yogurt / Sagu / Oxalis. We finished with coffee and petit fours to bring to and end a fabulous afternoon. The food was stunning , the wine pairings were amazing and the service was first class. The New Bar is a great addition and a wonderful place to enjoy an aperitif or digestive. The New kitchen looks fabulous and you now get an excellent view of the whole team at work. Rafael , Charlie and the team have continually been pushing forward every year in the pursuit of absolute perfection and personally something which I think is not far away. Many Thanks to the whole team for an incredible dining experience and look forward to seeing you all again soon.”

“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!!”

Alanya turkish with fusion

“I’ve been meaning to try Alanya for a while, and I finally found the time to visit for lunch on a Friday after Jummah. First Impressions: The décor was fresh and modern, but the restaurant felt smaller than I had expected. It was very quiet during lunch, which made me wonder about the quality since there weren’t many customers. The Food: I ordered the small platter, and it was absolutely amazing: • Chops: Juicy and bursting with flavor. • Ribs: Tender, juicy, and perfectly fatty. • Kofta: A delightful twist on the traditional flavor, making it stand out. • Rice: Cooked to perfection, with flakes that added a great touch. • Salad: Surprisingly fresh and enjoyable. The Highlight: The star of the meal was their unique bread, paired with their house chili sauce. It was unforgettable and added an extra layer of flavor to the experience. Final Thoughts: I’ll definitely be returning with my family to try more dishes. Alanya lived up to my expectations, and I’m excited for my next visit.”

“Was recommended and wow did it live up to its. Sunday dinner yesterday was amazing. We’ve never had beef before that literally melted in our mouths- both the pink and well done meats were amazing, and who knew cabbage/greens could taste so fantastic. The stuffing is a must - and those yorkies - fantastic. Great staff who really look after you, the young lady from Hartlepool was lovely. Stylish premises - yes expensive but worth treating ourselves - we’ll be back.”

“I have tried smoked meat in many countries especially Canada but nothing compares to the smoked Ribs and Brisket from Holy Smokes BBQ. This spot is a lowkey hidden gem in East London and for the huge portions they give, it’s worth the price. The owner is also extremely hospitable and is there to make sure you have an amazing experience. If you live in London or you are visiting, I would highly recommend checking them out🙌”
