79 Clapton Cafe & Restaurant - (Near Hackney, South East)

Rimon Ahmed Back in August a work colleague said one lunchtime "boys let me take you to a place for some good lunch for the price of a meal deal". So we went to Falafel & Shawarma! It is a nice spacious simple looking shop, queue up on the right to order, then move over to the left to pay for and pickup up your order. There is long sitting wall benches on either side of the shop where you can sit in and eat, but when the shop is busy you will be sitting along side both queues. The staff were very friendly and professional. The gentleman who takes your order is always lively and having a laugh with customers as hes taking the orders and preparing the orders. Theyre always giving out samples of their side food items especially their roasted spice potatoes which are really nice. We each ordered their chicken shawarma wrap and their own made lemonade drink. The chicken filling tasted really good had that nice spiced marinated tase and the meat came out soft. They top the filling with a choice of garlic and/or chilli sauce which isnt all that spicy in all honesty but does give that nice taste to it all. The lemonade nicely compliments the chicken shawarma. We went again yesterday and this time I ordered their falafel wrap and that was equally as good! Also this time I ordered a portion of their 4 lamb sambusaks, which is like Indian samosas but made without the Indian spices. I liked them (being a bengali person) as they had the natural cooked lamb taste and had a slight taste of some cooking spices. For £4.50 the shawarma wraps they serve up interms of taste and how big it is, I have seen other places charge around £9! The side items like the Sambusak was £2.50 and again worth the price! Highly recommended place to go for lunch, you wont be disappointed!!

Dan Morgan My partner and I stayed for two nights, and the experience was impeccable. The hotel itself is laid out well; it was quiet and relaxing, and the staff definitely went above and beyond. The swimming pool was lovely, and the ambience was very peaceful. The restaurant catered well to our needs, and the staff there were incredibly nice; when we had to wait a while for our food, they didnt charge us for some of our drinks and were so polite about it. My only small issue—hardly worth mentioning—was that the plug sockets in the bedroom could have been a bit more accessible. It was a minor inconvenience, as there were plugs available if you hunted for them. However, the room itself was quite spacious, the bed was huge, and the bathroom was very clean and well-presented. I am definitely considering returning in the future.

matthew t Big fan of the food and good prices too.

Lucy Allan I have been to Queens a number of times and had a consistently superb experience. The service is always excellent- warm, knowledgeable and welcoming staff who are happy to guide you through anything thats new on the menu. The food has always been exceptional and feels as though it has been prepared with real passion and care. I have enjoyed sweet and sharp ceviche, rich pigeon with butternut squash, chargrilled romanesco, which was was a surprise and a complete delight, not to mention their famous beetroot manti (Turkish dumplings); tiny, soft and sweet parcels, like the best tortellini youve ever had. What an asset to Camberwell, long may it last!
