The Red Lion - (Near , london)

Syed A Inan I went to this small Bangladeshi restaurant today, just a stones throw walk from Upton Park station, called Choruibhati. Not a commercially chain or one of the posh eating palces one might go for a meal. In fact, it is at the moment sitting in the middle of a construction site. We ordered Kachchi Biriyani, Tehari, Duck Bhuna with Pilau, Beef Bhuna with Pilau, Jorda rice, Halim and Borhani as takeaway. At first I was pretty skeptical about the food, but, once my nostrils had a whiff of the food, I realised I was about to be amazed. And, amazed I was. The food was rustic with blends of carefully mixed subcontinental spices that subtly brushes your palate in layers. Any trace of spice is washed away by the complex tangy-spicy-sweet-milky taste of the Borhani. Each dish can be tasted separately due to the differentiated spice blend, unlike all the commercial curry houses where one sauce is used for all the dishes. Comparing to most of the High Street commercial curry/biriyani houses, this is a hidden gem in the heart of East London. There is space for family or a group of 15+ as well as anyone using a wheelchair (down stairs) to sit and enjoy a hearty Bangladeshi exquisite meal. The Chef, Nizam, is a kind man with a warm smile. N.B: Due to constructions wheelchair access at the moment may not be suitable.

Razon Miah From the very beginning, the service was outstanding. The waiters, Marco and Ashwin, were attentive and took the time to explain every detail about the cuts of meat we ordered. The starters were on another level — simply exceptional. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly to the medium-rare we requested. The desserts were the perfect ending, especially the dulce de leche cheesecake, which was phenomenal. I would also like to thank the manager, Reda, who was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. Highly recommended — 10/10.

James Robert Dylan We were in Tokyo in summer and honestly it felt exactly the same. It was very authentic, amazing service, and amazing food. Best dining experience i’ve had in Hammersmith or West London. And honestly the pricing was very reasonable for the quantity and exceptional quality and specialty of the food.

Akber Ali PFC Espresso is a great little spot if youre after tasty food on a budget. Their hot wings are especially nice – crispy, flavourful, and hit the spot every time. They accept card payments, which is super convenient, and they always seem to have special offers going, making the already cheap prices even better. Definitely worth checking out!

Sunny Excellent food - been going to Kokoro for about 5 to 6 years across the UK. Really appetising with incredible portions. Highly recommend Salmon Teriyaki & Sweet Chilli Chicken. The sushi is good too, but the hot food is better for the pricing!

David Prescott Lovely rustic experience right by the seashore and yacht club. Delicious breakfast barms and good coffee. Perfect spot for a midway stop on a walk along the beachfront. Very very handy for our stay at the Whitstable beach house. Shame missed the happy hour oysters - fantastic value
