Holy Smokes BBQ London - (Near Tower Hamlets, South East)

Khashim Uddin I visited Buddies after seeing their TikTok videos, and I’m glad I did. We tried the East End Burger, East End Wings, Spicy Dip Burger, and the East End Doner, along with an Oreo milkshake. The East End sauce was creamy with a nice spicy kick. The wings were big, juicy, and had perfectly crispy breading. The fillet burger was huge — honestly, I could’ve been satisfied with just that alone. You can really tell the doner they use is higher quality, definitely better than the usual PFC stuff. The Oreo milkshake was a hit with the kids. Even though I got takeout, the store itself looked modern and clean. Alhamdulillah, it’s a much better alternative to KFC, and it felt good knowing I was supporting a local business.

Lorraine Kashdan Really nice atmosphere. Its wheelchair accessible although the entrance is at the back and the back doors were closed, but locals sprang to the rescue and we were in! Two of us used wheelchairs and it was manageable though for two powerchairs it would be awkward and due to how busy it gets, the staff were not the most forthcoming. The Sunday dinners were as expected. There was pleasant livr music. The accessible toilet was easy enough to get to, though strictly speaking not that accessible, if youre not ambulant and have no carer and you have a chair longer than the q300r, then you cant use it! Plus the throughfare was blocked with a large plant, which is fine if for example youre with friends, are fine talking to the management and dont also have autism. From a neuro diverse point of view its not suitable because of the windows being at the same level as the tables causing noise refraction. Overall I loved the place and would go again, they just need to bear in mind that if its advertised as disabled access then doors need to be left open, signage would be helpful and blocking entrance or exit points with heavy plant pots isnt great. Otherwise - see you next time!

Mondana Boustani This pizza restaurant is the BEST in London! We come here regularly and it never disappoints. The unusual toppings are fantastic. The service and friendliness of the staff is incredible. Great with children especially!!! My dad travels across London 1.5 hours to come to this pizza place, it’s that good!!!

Alessandra Distefano I loved this space. Great loft vibes. Just opposite the canal with a great outdoor area. The food was great. They accommodate for vegans and gluten free customers. The gluten free pizza was the best I had in London so far. Nice texture and not flat. The fried potato’s were delicious. Super friendly staff. Our waiter Enzo has been really nice, offering us options and describing the dishes in details. I’d definitely come back here next time I’m in the area. Especially on Monday or Tuesday, when they have 2 pizzas for £18 deal.

Catherine Munt Brilliant place. Generous portions and always fresh. Ordered on a Saturday night and food was ready and waiting for me after less than 15 minutes. Chicken shish wrap with chilli is my go to and never misses the mark. Have also had the classic chicken donner which is also great. Chips and nuggets are done fresh per order. Perfect for one person or the whole family

Lisa Collins Nice sunway roast, says unlimited Yorkshire puds and gravy but the add on ones wernt as nice! Great stuffing balls, well worth the extra ! Meat portion small, nice lunch bit could have been a great one!! Staff very hard to grab/find and just could be raised easily! Door hanging off hinge in ladies loo, few tweaks could be great!
