jasmine theobold DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!! THIS IS THE WORST CHINESE TAKEAWAY IN LONDON !!!! After ordering what was supposed to be ‘sweet and sour chicken’ I received what looked like deep fried chicken meatballs that were stone cold and god knows what sweet and sour sauce they bought but it was inedible. The ‘duck spring rolls’ were burnt and black inside! The salt and pepper chicken was the driest thing I have tasted in my life even a drink didn’t help it go down. Do not even let me get started on the beef chowmein there was this jelly like film all over the beef! After complaining they were extremely rude on the phone and adamant that it was just me. Once again, NEVER COME TO THIS RESTAURANT

Phoebe Worsnop Absolutely amazing rare beef pho, up there with the best I’ve ever had! The broth is incredible, so light but with such a depth of flavour. Can’t recommend enough. Pho usually only on the menu on Saturdays though! Lovely, friendly staff too. Banh mi also very good, nice selection of fillings and delicious iced and hot Vietnamese coffee.

Julia Soldrzynski I owe this restaurant an apology. I was about to leave an angry review about my undelivered food when I discovered the real culprits: my phone carrier hasn’t been accepting calls (on top of the fact that my buzzer doesn’t work). The restaurant had actually been trying to reach me the whole time. They were incredibly gracious about the mix-up and even agreed to redeliver. (Although the delivery guy’s expression was a little grumpy but I would definitely be too in his shoes) I’m writing this review with more than a little embarrassment, but also genuine appreciation for their kindness. Now for the food—it’s very good! I’ve ordered twice now and have been happy both times. The portions are good for the price, and the quality is consistent so far. Their Onion Bhaji deserves special mention: it’s enormous and absolutely delicious. Even after delivery, it arrives surprisingly crispy. I can only imagine how spectacular it must be fresh from the kitchen.

Leila Maria Ive been coming here since 2014 and the food and quality has been great consistently. The staff are lovely and accommodating and the food is just the best I dont care where I am. I will travel for this food !!! The portion sizes are great too. Thank you for always being there for a great meal and service

SB84 Love My Falafel Restaurant! The food is amazing, with large portion sizes and deliciously cooked chicken and salads. The prices are excellent value for money. Cant wait to go back and try more of their tasty dishes!

DH Good value for money. Quick and easy service. You order at the till and food is on your table. We tried the fish meal and the £7 burger meal. Burger was delicious and tasted like a home-made BBQ burger. Fish was really nicely cooked too! They also have tons of sauces for you. Seats are comfortable and atmosphere is pleasant for short/longer stays. Only thing Id recommend would be to have menus on the tables.
