Polentina - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

AceOfHearts001 Mixed Grill was superb (every grilled item had authentic taste and cooked to perfection - loved it), the rice is probably not quiet the Turkish type of rice we would expect (I prefer to have, works better as well) the improper choice of rice hamepers the turkish experience. Stake fries were great with cool deep fry basket presentation. Hot mezze was really good for £10, tasty and piping fresh. Cold mezze portion size was disappointing. Not acceptable at all. The grilled chicken item (not pictured) is really succulent but it is basted in the chilli sauce they serve (like a good PFC chilli sauce). I personally would prefer a different base flavour so the chilli sauce is not the flavour of my grilled chicken!! Theres a crossover somewhere between Turkish and a local grilled food/pfc of some sort and theres this need to go to a Turkish only place somehow...(maybe minor adjustments like adjust the rice, have separate menus etc.). Good value. Service is not so attentive but the place is cosy and seating is comfortable even the chairs have leather padding. Recommended for good value, reliable eating.

Mohammed Islam Tried this new place out, genuinely really good food service was on point and very tasty. Got the maga combo whole chicken wings strips chips and inner. Portion size was perfect and adjusted to taste for spice. Highly recommended

S A Came here for the first time with my family for take away. Very lovely service and good recommendations, we got the XL chicken box, 5 BBQ wings, combo box and single and double cheeseburger and chicken sharwarma. All were very good no complaints will definitely come again.

Barbara Lorusso Guys, this burger is dangerous…DANGEROUSLY GOOD! Got the truffle cheeseburger, and what an experience! Taste of truffle sauce in all my mouth, the cheese was perfectly melted and the meat…Legit, can’t even, this burger is perfect. And don’t get me started with the fries…A great portion of amazing fries with a hint of rosemary …Everything was LOVELY, so great i discovered this place, trust me don’t sleep on it!

Ehsan Y Hussain Amazing food been coming here since they first opened back in brick lane and I can honestly say the food has only gotten better. The service is top tier, always very welcoming and catering. Recommend Crave Joint highly.

Shobna Sami I had a truly special experience dining at this relatively new Indian restaurant at The Standard. The space is beautiful and spacious, the food was excellent, and the service exceptional. I was delighted to learn it’s a family-run business—Sayed and his brothers welcomed every guest with genuine warmth and gracious hospitality. Thank you for creating such an authentic dining space that reflects the vibrant spirit of our local community in Greenwich and Blackheath.
