The Eight Restaurant - (Near Westminster, london)

Josh Taylor Had the set lunch. Good selection, starter and main. Amazing value and tasted great. Staff were welcoming, will come here again!

K C Went for lunch on a quiet weekday and it was honestly such a nice little surprise. There were only two other tables, so it felt really relaxed and peaceful — the kind of place where you can actually hear your own thoughts while deciding what to eat. I was looked after by a lovely attentive lady (Asian, I’m so sorry I forgot her name!) who was amazing. She brought water, complimentary prawn crackers, which disappeared suspiciously quickly and gave us some great food recommendations. Always a good sign when the staff actually help you decide instead of just saying “everything is good.” The food itself was delicious: hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. Also the portions are no joke. I appreciated that they offered takeaway boxes because my eyes definitely ordered more than my stomach could handle. The price range is very reasonable and the decor is lovely too — cosy but still stylish. Overall a really enjoyable experience. Great service, great food, and free prawn crackers… which honestly already puts them ahead in life. Would definitely come back!

Iain Martin This is the local cafe at the end of our street. We usually only get coffee but decided today to try the big fried breakfast. Well, what to say? It was huge, delicious, and great value. All the meats tasted lovely and the portion was very generous. The folks running the cafe are always superb. Always happy and greet you with a smile and a joke. They remember your order after your first visit and really make the cafe a nice place to visit and hang out. If you want a cheeky breakfast (it’s on all day so even have it for lunch) treat then we’d definitely recommend stopping in.

Mason Taylor Excellent quality!

Gabriella Fairley Such great food and a wonderful owner! I came here before going to a gig at Kentish town forum which is on 10 mins walk away. The food was so delicious and the owner was so lovely. It was my first time trying Somali food and she advised me on what to get and even gave me the most delicious complimentary samosa on the house. I will 100% be back!

OCandy Kwong My car was trapped by the high tide of the River Thames near Eel Pie Island after the open day. Thank you for offering help by moving away the tables and chairs next to the cafe to let my car get through. Luckily there’s another lady suggested and helped me to get out of the pedestrian area with fewer people by lifting up the emergency exit gate.
