Bianca W I got to attend the Columbia restaurants pirate themed afternoon tea with a large group of friends yesterday, and it was fantastic. Service is great with friendly staff and prompt service. Sandwich selection as part of the afternoon tea was a bit of an elevated standard, with the typical smoked salmon on cream cheese, tomato and cheese, cucumber this time paired with chicken, and a sausage and piccadilly relish. The scones were fresh and absolutely delicious, super buttery and creamy, very delightful. Finally there was a very thorough cake selection presented, as well as smoothies and parfaits. The group unanimously decided the banana bread was the absolute winner, soft and rich and very well balanced. We had so many options to try and most of them were really fresh and scrumptious. I found a few cakes a little too on the sweet side, and the mocha I ordered was also way too sweet to drink for ky taste. Overall, a brilliant afternoon tea with so many items, lovingly presented in little pirate treasure chests. I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it.

Juhee Jyotheendran Went to Kricket in Canary Wharf, it is a fantastic Indian restaurant with a really well thought out menu. We ordered the thali and the Keralan fried chicken. The food was great overall, but the chicken really stood out, it was perfectly cooked, flavourful, and with just the right level of spice and crispiness. The thali is a brilliant option if you want to try a bit of everything. Each individual dish on the platter was made really well, and it didn’t feel like anything was an afterthought. It is a great way to experience a variety of flavours in one meal. Service was excellent from start to finish. Adarsh looked after us and was brilliant, he explained the dishes clearly, was attentive without being intrusive, and made sure everything was just right. The rest of the staff were also very attentive and timed everything perfectly. Would definitely recommend, especially if you’re in Canary Wharf and craving good Indian food with great service.

Delia Andreea Boboc The best Romanian food in all the UK. The food is clean, delicious, and the service is friendly and warm. As a Romanian visiting from Miami I felt that I was eating my mother’s food. “ Ca la mama acasă “

T B The restaurant is in a busy location, and the environment was really friendly. The service was absolutely brilliant. Sinead served us and was so friendly and kind. She listened and delivered great service with a smile. All the dishes arrived within a good time and we were checked in on a few times. The food was really tasty, especially the sea bream and the charred corn ribs. I could have eaten another plate!
