SMOKESTAK - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

4 /5 JoyC: Been hoping to try this restaurant, and I would say the wood-roasted bone marrow is definitely the highlight of the meal. It was cooked to perfection and paired well with the sourdough, which was a great start. However, I can’t say the same for the main course – the beef rib was slightly too chewy compared to the pork belly, and the sticky barbecue sauce became a bit too rich towards the end of the meal. That said, my friend and I really enjoyed the chips. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was lively. However, I felt the tables are quite close together, and the music made it quite hard to hear what my friend was saying. Probably it was just not our thing but I could see the restaurant was packed from start.

5 /5 Rune: Amazing BBQ! Cool, dimly lit atmosphere with German electronic beats, serving the citys best barbecue. We had beautiful, tender brisket and a huge beef rib. Crispy ox cheeks for starters is a must. My mouth is still watering just thinking about it. Highly recommended!

5 /5 Matei Laurentiu: I’ve been to SMOKESTAK and I have to say, the food was absolutely amazing! Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection – full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The meat was incredibly tender and rich in smoky flavour, and every dish we tried was delicious from start to finish. The atmosphere was great as well – warm, lively, and welcoming. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back

5 /5 Elviera L: Absolutely amazing place! We could only book for 6:15 as later was full so we expected it to be quiet! How wrong! The place was buzzing with a fabulous atmosphere! Our waiter was the best ever! He explained everything to us, gave us recommendations and was so passionate about the food, drink and his job. Can’t praise him enough! In fact we were very happy to pay the service charge! (Something we rarely do unless it’s over and above) All our dishes were absolutely gorgeous. Incredible taste and flavours. The cocktails too were delicious. I was treated to a raspberry sorbet as it was my birthday and it is the best sorbet I have ever tasted! Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Our waiter also recommended the Cocktail Trading Co round the corner for afterwards and that too was fabulous!
