Somewhere Green - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

A R I ordered the mixed grill during my visit, and the whole experience turned out far better than I expected. The meal started with the chicken boneless grill, which was cooked with real care. It was soft, juicy, and had a nice balance of seasoning that made each bite worth it. Chicken often ends up dry or bland in many places, but here it tasted tender, full of flavour, and clearly freshly prepared. The cheese chips were simple but surprisingly satisfying. The chips were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and the melted cheese on top was just the right amount. It did not feel heavy, and it was the kind of side you keep reaching for without thinking. The lamb shawarma became another highlight of the meal. It had a rich warm flavour without being oily or overpowering. The seasoning was spot on, and the meat tasted fresh and well marinated. I also have to mention the Adana kebab because it was absolutely extraordinary. It had a depth of flavour that stood out from everything else and made the whole meal even more memorable. Overall, the food felt thoughtfully prepared and very satisfying. The portions were generous, everything arrived warm, and you could taste the care in each item. I would happily return and recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good quality grilled food.

James Green We went to Arepa & Co and had such an amazing experience, it was our first time trying Venezuelan cuisine, and we loved it so much we went back two days in a row! We started with the Palm Salad, which was fresh and flavorful with grilled palm hearts, cherry tomatoes, shallots, capers, and lettuce. For our main dishes, we tried the Arepa Pabellón, filled with shredded beef, black beans, ripe plantains, and cheddar cheese, and the Pabellón Reina, a rice bowl with chicken, mayo and avocado mix, black beans, fried plantains, and cheese. The flavors in both dishes were incredible, especially the fried plantains, they were absolutely amazing! The restaurant also had tons of gluten-free options, which was perfect for my mum. Overall, it was a wonderful introduction to Venezuelan cuisine, and we can’t recommend it enough.

KaoriM Had a lovely afternoon treat here. The dessert and cocktail were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The interior is stunning, with elegant greenery that gives it a modern, hotel-like atmosphere. A big thank you to Ismail, Luigie and Charlie for their warm welcome and excellent service — they truly made the experience special. If you’re looking for amazing food, a beautiful setting, and professional, friendly staff, HERA is definitely worth visiting.

H Tr Easily my favourite Jamaican restaurant out of the 10 or so I’ve been to from Brixton to New Cross. Food is great, owner is great, definitely recommend.

Janet TT After visiting the Home Museum, we walked across Nom Nom. Their décoration feels like local Vietnamese restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the Xeo Tofu Pancake, the Pork & Wood Ear Mushroom Steamed Rice Roll, and the Bun Cha Ha Hoi. I highly recommend the Tofu Pancake — it’s incredibly fresh and flavorful, with a perfectly crunchy texture. The Bun Cha Ha Hoi is a cold noodle dish, but the grilled pork mixed with the noodles is surprisingly delicious. The rice rolls are soft, mild in flavor, and feel really light and healthy. Overall, a great spot — definitely worth checking out!

SRILA SATOH I enjoyed my visit to Chaiiwali Cafe. I tried the pink chai for the first time and found it quite pleasant, though slightly sweet for my taste. The staff are friendly, and the welcome is warm. #Halal restaurant Suhur deal only £6! Ramadan Mubarak ☪️
