Chang Thai Kitchen - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

Lisa Collins Simply THE BEST chipy in town!! Lovely family run local business, always spotless, really good portions, friendly atmosphere, you could never feel awkward in here! Great great hot, tasty, imaginative, hearty portions of food served with a giggle!

Billie Walker Wonderful pub in a gorgeous location. It says a lot that so many of the staff have been here so long and are so lovely. Food is always great. I have moved to the other side of London, but there is nowhere like it and I still make a long journey to have dinner or drinks here from to time and it’s very much worth it. Sunday roasts are fantastic, as is the menu the rest of the time. Hidden gem!

W The team is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The freshly baked pizzas are excellent, with special praise for the Italian smoked beef, the mushroom Sm burrata, and the Tiramisù. The entire restaurant is inviting and spotless. Well done!

Kevin Coaker We were wowed by nearby Café Cecilia earlier this year, so were excited to try INIS for our anniversary dinner. For a dark autumn evening, Hackney Wick was surprisingly lively, and the team at INIS kindly found us a spot for a pre-dinner drink when we arrived 45 minutes early. First off, the three staff on duty were absolutely lovely - friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food was fantastic, with the Irish influence shining through in all the right ways. I had the winter salad, while my wife’s duck starter was just as tempting. My John Dory main was sublime, and the wine list full of interesting options - we chose a lovely Vernaccia from Tuscany. We’re already keen to return to try the Sunday lunch once winter properly sets in.

Mondana Boustani This pizza restaurant is the BEST in London! We come here regularly and it never disappoints. The unusual toppings are fantastic. The service and friendliness of the staff is incredible. Great with children especially!!! My dad travels across London 1.5 hours to come to this pizza place, it’s that good!!!

OConnor Mike (M!KO) The best authentic Italian spot in London! Discovered this place by walking by and hearing underground Italian rap - only to be a regular customer. The only place I’ve found that’s got authentic Italian aperitif and imported snacks and beers. Paninos are delicious and made of fresh ingredients, service has been stellar along with the vibes. An authentic Italian panino by day and popping underground event space by night!
