5 /5 Arianna Soares: Shankeys never misses! I have been twice this year and would definitely say it is my top restaurant in 2025. The cauli cheese is out of this world! The service is also amazing with the staff being super attentive and always ensuring you are enjoying your meal. Prices are super reasonable and not overpriced even tho it is a small plates restaurant - which is super rare in London!
The only thing I did not enjoy the last 2 times I have been are the potatoes- they don’t take my fancy but that is just a personal preference!
I will be back soon!
5 /5 Michaela Pleskova: The cheese cauliflower paratha and potatoes were definitely a highlight, they are a staple while the rest of the menu changes regularly. For mains, the whole sea bream was delicious. We tried a few of their cocktails and especially enjoyed their unique takes on the margarita (with butter) and Negroni. Its a great spot for a date, and the staff is very nice. I definitely plan on returning soon to try more of their parathas. Its also reasonably priced.
5 /5 Fay S.: Haven’t rated a restaurant 5/5 in a while but Shankeys definitely deserved it.
The service was great, attentive quick and friendly.
The food was exceptional, we ordered everything on the menu as it was 5 of us and have to say the lamb paratha, the chicken and the fish were the highlight.
The dessert was too sweet and heavy, I would have served it with a sorbet as a opposed to a cream!
5 /5 Geoff Arnott: Dont be put off by the exterior - this is a really great little restaurant frequented by the people that know what a really chilled eating experience should be. The small plates are exceptionally good. A brilliant venue for a sharing meal with family or friends.
Great service in that special Irish way. Theyre happy to faff about with the menu to cater for gluten free people like me too.
Kevin Saint OMG THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST YET!!
so Im i big original fan of the bros but not been in for a long time due to a location change and keto diet. So last night after a couple of drinks in the micro pub by them we decided to rediscover our love for this amazing restaurant/takeaway chain.
I was simply blown away of how good this food was or did I just forget? Anyway the Beef Birria Brorrito was absolutely delicious, tender melt in your mouth beef, packed with flavours and them beautiful skin on fries! Plus some requested hot sauce which complimented the food perfectly. It was like food crack! I even bit my own finger trying cram it in my mouth!
So I was thinking if we lose the rice from the bowl dishes it would be perfect for the keto diet! Well guess what theyve only gone and bloody done it as Ive seen on the website, just need to advertise it more it the shop boyz!
Well done guys and thank you!!
Ill be craving that Beef Birria all week but its the keto bowl next for me now.
Ive also posted my original review in the photo gallery.
Gonzalo Murcia Great experience. One of the best taco places in London. My favourites the burrito (even the veggie one is so damn good!) and the loaded fries are banging! A true hidden gem in Hackney!
Tim Coventry I loved this restaurant! The decor and ambience were bougie, while the food was great.
I ate on a Tuesday evening and had a meal off the set menu. This turned out to be excellent value for money (£19.90 for the food and £3.90 for the coke). In fact, there was so much food a couldnt eat it all!
If Im ever staying in the area again, I will definitely come again. 10/10!
