Naomi Donoher I was here for a wedding but the food was amazing! Cannot go wrong at all, its a really nice location next to the boats along the river also

Autumn Y Youre directed to a check in area upon arrival where you can drop off your stuff in a locker (free). Youll need to hand in your ID at that time to get a visitors pass. Following that, you make your way into the prison. Youll have to remove jackets/jewelry/extras, go through a metal detector, and get a pat down. Youre then led into the restaurant. Youll be sat, given time to look over the menu, and ask questions if needed. The environment itself looks like one of a regular restaurant, with the exception of plastic cutlery. The staff were partly in training when I was there, so they were decently chatty and eager to help with anything. They did try to upsell a decent amount, but that is probably in part to the training bit, in terms of learning how to work that in more flawlessly. Ordered a pork chop that came with soba noodles and a smashed cucumber salad. The food tasted good overall. They have their regular desserts as well as ones that are made by the inmates there (separate menu for these). So ask to see what those are to support them if youd like. When leaving, you will need to be escorted, so just be sure to ask for your host before you head out.

Alex Barclay Ordered from Deliveroo at 1am, with Deliveroos own drivers bringing the food, so I could tip on the platform (I know thats not important to a lot of people who dont tip, but I do & I hate using change - listen up JustEat). I got the "Taste of Italy" pizza. It smelled amazing and tasted really nice. I think it was the oregano they sprinkled on top, but much nicer than other late night places Ive ordered from recently. Also got jalapeño poppers and curly fries (chips?). The actual pizza was quite salty, but personally I didnt mind. When cooking, I tend to go with more salt than less. With that being said, anyone who enjoys "lightly salted" food would probably find it too much. For me, however, it was no problem. May even have been a one-off. Sides were good, and I also got a sour cream and chive dip with the pizza. Overall, great smell & taste, and nicely prepared sides. I have no issue ordering from here again.

John Hylton Good service, nice and clean store. Served by Farha who was polite and even offered complimentary fries. Very good.

Patrick Carr Right. The food is spectacular. If you can, try and sit at the bar where amazing Fatou is a waitress. She made genuinely stonkingly good recommendations that were perfect in terms of what we were looking for at lunch. She also looked after us so well. Wagyu gyoza (prepare to fight whoever you’re with for them), snow crab (my wife loved), JFC (my fave, get the spicy version). The chocolate and citrus mizumono dessert is also very special. My Mrs isn’t bothered about anything chocolate-y but thought it was great. I’m a choco-holic and agreed. PS - Electric Diner (just across the room) is great too. Chicken Waffles in on Friday ace. PPS - Stick around and go to the main Ned bar. They play really great live music in the evenings, on the stage (see pics).

Nuruddin Noorani Amazing taste and staff specially Usman and Amina, great service, ordered Lamb Hareesa, Nashta Platter, Naan and Bombay Sandwich along with Cinnamon Roll and Karak Tea without Sugar
