Pockets - (Near Hackney, london)

Steve Weir Fantastic! Friendly helpful staff that clearly care a lot about giving guests a positive experience! A little cramped in the dining area, but still a nice ambience! Good job lads, everything tasted amazing, but particular hats-off to the chefs special rice!

Mark Monaghan Some dishes were very nice (mainly the bread and leek starters). However, some others, mainly the Denver steak main, were quite disappointing, especially when considering this costs just shy of £50. The dish took about an hour to arrive and was cold when it did (I assume it had been left out and perhaps a waiter had forgotten to take it to us). The waiter did offer to reheat it but this left it quite chewy. Overall it was not enjoyable and certainly did not meet the standard expected for the price. The service was also very slow throughout the remainder of the night and after ordering a single rice pudding dessert to share, this also took an additional 30 minutes to arrive. We spent another 15 minutes waiting for the waiter to bring the card machine after receiving the bill meaning in total we spent about 3 hours in the restaurant which was much longer than we had intended. I appreciate it was New Year’s Eve and so perhaps it was busier than the staff were used to, but again, this falls short of the standard one would expect for a restaurant where we paid around £90 per person on food alone. The atmosphere was pleasant but given the above I would not return nor could I in good conscience recommend it to a friend.

y Lee I order few dishes every week with my friend. Their BBQ ribs are the best, tastes delicious, smelt lovely, and the pork) egg fried rice, yum! The fareast staff is VERY friendly and nice.i know now the price has gone up,to me the price is reasonable, and the amount is enough for me to eat alone, I get full all the time from ordering here. Its very delicious, I recommend it!

Jane Linton Lovely restaurant with fabulous food, book ahead. This is a locals favourite! Very cute, cosy and a heap of character which is made truly authentic by kitchen staff & welcoming crew. Thalis offered for a really reasonable dinner (£25) which gives a true taste of Nepal.

Rakesh Raki Great food and great service must visit place

Emana Mangue Miguel “MP MANGUE” Incredible place with an African atmosphere, I felt at home with the welcoming treatment of the staff, the food was delicious although and at a good price, the live music. The only thing I didnt like is that the space is small, it should be a bigger place. For everything else, great. They deserve four stars!!!
