Friend at Hand - (Near Camden, london)

Maria Food was rich in flavours and very authentic taking me back to the days I was in Türkiye. The grilled dishes were very tender, juicy and tasty of herbs and spices. The mezes were also great and nicely presented. The rice is delicious and all the food tasted like it was made with real Turkish hands and heart. The ambience is also nice with the warm lighting and temperature. Staff were very kind and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone :)

Mihaela D A lovely place to have a dinner date, but also works for larger groups. We tried the chicken livers and spicy prawns for starters and we loved both. For mains, we opted for a steak with pepper sauce with fried zucchini and veal milanese with spaghetti carbonara which were delicious. For dessert, a tiramisu - to die for. Service was impeccable. I would recommend and would surely try again.

irenezcf Food quality was great and portions were huge. Highly recommend the fried squid which was fresh and crispy and curry rice don with thick and flavourful curry sauce. Service staff were lovely and kept checking on our refill of green tea. Nice place to stopby for lunch after a visit to the British Museum.

BN Nehar The food was absolutely delicious, and the chicken was cooked to perfection! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable — definitely a place worth coming back to!

Lena Jogie The food options were nice and variable. Had a lager and fish and chips. Food tasted really good. The place is a nice casual bar with a slightly more formal dining space as well. Service was also good. Atmosphere, mostly fine, except for where we got seated, there were remnants of crumbs or chicken on the seat. Again, food tasted good with acceptable portions.

Kambasis Peter We stayed at the Royal National Hotel and Blooms was one of their restaurants. We were surprised at how good the food was! We enjoyed it so much we had breakfast there the next day too. The staff were quick and very friendly. They allowed us to change our Hawaiian pizza to have pepperoni instead of ham. The prices were reasonable even with our horrible Canadian dollar right now (Oct 2025). If you are looking for a quick bite between tours of the city this is the place to go. Thank you Blooms staff!!
