The Caribbean Pelican Restaurant - (Near Hackney, london)

Kandel Surakshya (Nanu) Hidden Gem for a Budget Night Out! If you’re looking for a place with great music, tasty food, and affordable drinks — this is it! The vibe is chill, the prices are super budget-friendly, and it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a night out without spending too much. Great for catching up with friends, listening to good tunes, and having a good time without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

Jennifer Nightingale Such a gem of a find. the man who served us was so kind and friendly. we ordered a variety of food and it was all banging. would 100% come again if i’m in the area! the home made hand pulled beef noodles were great!

Jack Routledge Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. I came here on a whim and left blown away. The highlight for me was the tandoori dumplings perfectly spiced, chargrilled to perfection, and honestly some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had, and that’s saying something after travelling around Asia. You rarely ever see tandoori dumplings on a menu, so this was a real treat. What really made the evening special was the hospitality. The owner, his brother, and even the chef took time to personally speak with me. They explained how the food was made, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made me feel genuinely welcome. You can tell they really care about what they do. Another big plus they let you bring your own alcohol, which is such a bonus and made the evening even more enjoyable. And to top it off, they’re open till 1am, which is perfect if you’re out late and want great food without rushing. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing all my friends with me. This place is a hidden gem in Eltham.

London Double Trouble Nice setting, tucked away. Crate beer is delicious and the homemade fresh pizzas add a nice touch to it too. Its near to Hackney Wick station, its a quirky area with plenty to do and just off the Olympic park. By the canal so you can sit outside or plenty of space inside, went mid Saturday afternoon was busy but places to sit etc. Nice vibe inside, friendly staff and would come back again soon.

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!
