City Masala - (Near City of London, South East)

hare super Stopped by CORD on Fleet Street for a weekday lunch and honestly didn’t expect it to be this busy — or this good. I always assumed people around here would just grab a quick sandwich, but the dining room was full of City workers actually taking their time and enjoying a proper meal. The space is beautifully designed. You walk in through a casual café area, then further inside it opens up into a calm, elegant dining room. The open kitchen is a great touch — you can see everything happening, which makes the whole experience feel very transparent and relaxed. Food-wise, everything we ordered was spot on. The A5 Wagyu and bluefin tuna starters were delicate and full of flavour. For mains, the BBQ monkfish was perfectly cooked and the Highland venison en croûte was rich and comforting without being heavy. The peanut soufflé to finish was light, warm and absolutely worth the wait. It’s rare to find a restaurant of this level right in the middle of the City. If you work nearby and want to slow down for once — whether for a long lunch, a business meal or a quiet date — CORD is well worth a visit.

Fallon Lindor i have eaten in as well as having take away. i am absolutely in love with the Deli section(both hot and cold selection)!!!! a great healthy alternative and so filling. The ladies that have served me in there are so nice x

Harry A Considering the quality and price of the food on offer here, it really should be busier! You’re always met with a smile here, and the service is incredibly prompt. Would recommend, and a much better option than most of the bland chains nearby.

mr sink Was a fantastic lunch liked delicious fantastic service and a beautifully presented restaurant. Honestly, what an incredible lunch we had we kept it light and didn’t do dessert but next time I would return for both something a bit more substantial and something sweet! They just need to add a ramp to that step when you walk in because more people trip on it and the sign is not enough.

Diana T Really nice coffeeshop with a great selection of coffee and smoothies. The coffee is smooth and well made, and the smoothies are especially good. You can tell they’re made from fresh fruits, not syrups or powders. Everything tastes fresh and well balanced. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a perfect place to sit down, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a good drink. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Florin Mihali Delicious sandwiches, the staff is very friendly and they pay attention to detail. Great value for money. Great variety, they all taste great!There is a bit of a queue at lunch time, which for me is a good sign always. Totally worth it!!!
