On The Grill - (Near Tower Hamlets, South East)

RL Delightfully surprising - British food well done with rare attention to detail and care. Date loaf was a great mix of temperatures and textures (crunchy edges). Lamb was very comforting backed by a buttery sauce against the liquorice flavour of fennel. The tartare sauce with the devilled sprats was fresh - dill with some crunchy sour vegetables. I don’t know if we just chose well or if every dish is done at such high quality. Will come again to find out.

Charlene Anne My son and I visited the farm and then stopped over for lunch after an afternoon in the rain.One couldnt imagine this obscure spot in the heart of London. For lunch we had pumpkin soup and for pudding, caramalised apple cake. The business is family run and the staff are friendly, attentive and helped with a phone charger when my battery was running out. It was busy but not so much as to put you off. The restaurant has plenty of character - walls are adorned with used pans as decor, and evocative art. The music complemented the calm atmosphere. We also bought the bread, which one of the members of the staff told us was a family recipe which was passed down for generations.

George R The servers are incredibly polite and pleasant. The food was delicious, genuinely amazing with huge portions sizes and pita with tips on the house. Genuinely one dish could feed two people, and they let you take it home for free. Its not the cheapest Turkish restaurant Ive been to, nor the most expensive. Value for food is however really quite good. The food did come out lukewarm (which I actually prefer) but I understand some dont so bring this up regardless. The atmosphere is lovely, nice Turkish music in the background and an oriental vibe.

Miles Wheeler Simply the best restaurant in London, I love this place - it’s my go to for birthdays or people visiting. Such a wonderful, relaxed place to go with exceptional food and amazing wine. In the summer it’s great to sit outside on a warm evening and in the winter it’s a great retreat inside. The produce they use is obviously really high quality they work with the best suppliers and it shows. There’s always something meat based, seafood based and vegetarian. Sundays they normally do a dish to share too and the Herne Hill market is on which makes for the ideal Sunday afternoon. I’ve brought vegan friends too and it’s worth just letting them know in advance and I’d suggest booking too. It’s a testament to the place that the manager has been there for 8+ years and I still know the chefs years on too, the team are great, always so welcoming and calm. For me this is the ideal neighbourhood restaurant and I visit whenever I can. 10s across the board for Llewelyns!

Lucia Great food, felt like home (i’m italian!) and authentic recipes - the meatballs tasted like the ones my family make, both the pizzas we had were delicious! Our server Sophie was friendly and really helpful. Will come back soon! x

Daisley Jessica Wow, what a FANTASTIC cafe!! The best banana bread Ive ever head! Im usually so disappointed when I order banana bread, because only 1 in 10 banana breads have chocolate chips in them, and today I was blessed by the choco chip banana bread gods!! And its vegan, even better! Super tasty, and the matcha latte was nice and strong and such a beautiful bright colour. The service was so friendly, and theres a nice quiet seating area downstairs (perfect for reading your book). Ill definitely be back!! :)
