RASTRO CAFÉ - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

A R I ordered the mixed grill during my visit, and the whole experience turned out far better than I expected. The meal started with the chicken boneless grill, which was cooked with real care. It was soft, juicy, and had a nice balance of seasoning that made each bite worth it. Chicken often ends up dry or bland in many places, but here it tasted tender, full of flavour, and clearly freshly prepared. The cheese chips were simple but surprisingly satisfying. The chips were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and the melted cheese on top was just the right amount. It did not feel heavy, and it was the kind of side you keep reaching for without thinking. The lamb shawarma became another highlight of the meal. It had a rich warm flavour without being oily or overpowering. The seasoning was spot on, and the meat tasted fresh and well marinated. I also have to mention the Adana kebab because it was absolutely extraordinary. It had a depth of flavour that stood out from everything else and made the whole meal even more memorable. Overall, the food felt thoughtfully prepared and very satisfying. The portions were generous, everything arrived warm, and you could taste the care in each item. I would happily return and recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good quality grilled food.

C Ive avoided going here despite passing by frequently and the 4.8 rating on Google because its vegetarian/vegan but looks like Ive been missing out! The 2 pizzas that we got were fantastic. The burrata pizza was really nice and creamy and the KFM Korean-style oyster mushroom pizza had amazing flavours never before experienced on a pizza! Would definitely come here again in the future when Im in the neighbourhood. Also came around 1900 on a Saturday and just walked in without a reservation.

Raquel Maillo García We absolutely loved our lunch, it was genuinely like being in a trattoria in Italy. Flavours were so good and we could tell that the ingredients were super super fresh and Im sorry but the olive oil? WOW. Obsessed. Very happy with our meal, we will definitely be back.

Deenauth Mohabeer Kitchen E20 was a good experience overall. The seafood pasta linguine was excellent, I didn’t have high hopes for it but it was really well flavored and packed with seafood that was cooked perfectly. It was also spicy too. That was a pleasant surprise in London. Overall a good experience, and I’ll probably come back just for that seafood pasta again. Well done dish.

Osama Mustafa This is my fourth time at Figo in Stratford, London, and it continues to impress me every single visit. It is highly recommended. The Penne Marie pasta was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of rich flavor. The quality and consistency are clearly maintained at a high level. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is always excellent. A special thank you to the manager, Mel, who was genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming. Experiences like this are the reason I keep coming back.

Francesca Incredible service from the friendliest team. The chocolate orange brownie was 10/10. Looks like a small cafe to drive past it but it’s a big space with great, quirky interiors. Also loved seeing a gallery at the back of the space hosting art for the Ella Roberta Foundation (clean air = a human right)
