TasnimxEats haneed corner is a great spot serving a wide selection of somali food, using traditional recipes passed down through generations. the menu is full of hearty meals, aromatic spices and authentic flavours that really reflect somali home cooking. we started off with maraq, a traditional somali soup, which was light but full of flavour, so tangy, refreshing and slightly lemony with an aromatic broth. it had vegetables like potatoes, cabbage and carrots which made it feel really comforting. we tried platter 2 which came with slow cooked haneed, quarter chicken, rice and spaghetti, topped with beef suqar. the haneed was a slow cooked lamb shank marinated in their special sauce, extremely tender and literally falling off the bone, so so good. the chicken was really juicy too. the rice was light, fragrant and fluffy, topped with red peppers and raisins which added a sweetness i loved. the spaghetti was simple and fresh, served with suugo, a rich tomato based sauce with vegetables and potatoes. we also had basbaas which was spicy but went so well with everything, perfect for anyone who loves an extra kick of spice. overall i had such a good experience here, somali restaurants are so underrated! from the service to the food, everything was great.

Aari Lemmik The service was outstanding—our server Maruf was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. We had Pistachio Chicken Korma, Lamb Madras, Malwa Mango Chicken and Ajwaiji Salmon Tikka. While everything was presented nicely, the flavors felt a bit flat and the dishes didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the stellar service. Flavor is key in Indian cuisine, unfortunately it was missing this time. I’d return for the great hospitality and beautiful interiors, though I really hope the chef rediscovers their joy in cooking so the meals can improve and authentic rich Indian flavours will be re-introduced. Special thanks for the excellent espresso; it was a highlight of the dinner.

John Downs Dinner for two on a quiet Thursday night. Very good food..the sole exceptional, the cottage pie delicious. The menu had a good mix of interesting dishes..."British" cuisine..in a very good way. Drinks reasonably priced for central London. Very close to Cannon Street station but tucked away off the main road, and below ground. Quirky decor that I found very appealing. Attentive service from staff who know their dishes. Note...not open at weekends...this is in the commercial part of town! Highly recommended for couples, small groups and business meetings (they seemed to have a projector screen discreetly concealed...so maybe good for small group lunchtime meetings).

Eve Wale Lovely bowl as always! I built my own bowl and all of the toppings were great. Shout out to Wesley- he was a great host. Very friendly and speedy service.

Tam Myo Delicious Indian afternoon tea from one of the winners of the Bake Off Professionals 2024. The hot savouries (Paneer puff and spicy aloo) were a particular treat as were the chocolate cumin, pineapple/mango and cardamom blackcurrant desserts. Views of the river Thames provided a great backdrop.

marianne klien Wonderful lunch today with my husband at Skindles. We had a fabulous table by the river on a glorious summer day and the whole experience was utter perfection. Cookie served us and was brilliant! Nothing was too much trouble and he was great fun whilst making sure we had everything we could possibly need. Incredible prawn cocktail and smoked salmon starters followed by a very special superfood salad and fish main course. We will be back very soon and hopefully be looked after by Cookie again!
