Shankeys - (Near Hackney, london)

Tim Coventry I loved this restaurant! The decor and ambience were bougie, while the food was great. I ate on a Tuesday evening and had a meal off the set menu. This turned out to be excellent value for money (£19.90 for the food and £3.90 for the coke). In fact, there was so much food a couldnt eat it all! If Im ever staying in the area again, I will definitely come again. 10/10!

Jesper Chin Was a pleasant surprise to find a new Thai place had opened up near me and had to try it. Having just recently come back from Thailand, I must say the food was really up to standard. We got the ginger beef, the Thai omelette but the stand outs were the Pad Thai (struggle to find a good pad thai), Thai Fish cakes and the Mango sticky rice. The mango was ripe and incredibly juicy and naturally sweet - very glad to have ordered it despite being full. Muhammad the waiter was also incredibly attentive so very grateful to him. Will be back again.

Adrian Aston My mum loves this place and always comes here for lunch or dinner. Very nice selection on menu, lots of lighter choices too. Very friendly staff, good service and great food. Id Definitely come back and recommend. Update: My mum and I have been coming here for a number of years now. Everything is still great thankfully. My only slight negative is that the prices have got higher whilst portion sizes get smaller. Still recommend 100%. Check out my photos from my visit in Oct 2022.

Watcharesuang Tepamat We arrived at the pub at noon when it just opened. It was spacious, clean, and very beautiful. Greeted by the lovely hostess, we sat by the window and took our time admiring the atmosphere. Nice selection of drinks. Food was great we had the padron pepper, steak, and cod.
