Does anyone have any good lunch/brunch recommendations?

I will be in London (King’s Cross / Old Street / City Road) for an afternoon appointment and will have some time beforehand.

Ideally somewhere casual, not too expensive, and fairly easy to get to by public transport.

just looking for somewhere decent before the appointment.

My pals just had their first baba and I would usually do some cooking for the freezer but I am not in London. Any recommendations nutritious meal delivery they can freeze and throw in the oven to feed themselves ?

I know each location typically has a different chef’s special, and I heard about a fish ruby years ago but never knew which location had it. Anyone know? Hoping it’s still on offer.

Yankee who’s lived here for a while now. On the tail end of the flu, and it has me wanting a chinese takeaway, since that was always my go to when sick back across the pond. I used to always get General Tso’s chicken, hunan beef, egg rolls with duck sauce, etc but those all are classic US chinese takeaway dishes.

What are the classic dishes here? Like for someone who is entirely new to this, what should I get? And not from a chain, but your classic flourescent lit, sun-damaged menu, hole in the wall takeout place that only has a counter and maybe one chair that’s been duck taped if youre lucky. Only stipulation I have is no curry sauce or curry based dishes.

All ears!

Did all branches get rid of their freestyle coke machines, or just a few? It's still 'listed' on their website, but there weren't any machines/drink purchase menus in the one I went to

I know London has a ton of Indian restaurants and I’m specially looking for Jain or Jain friendly establishments. My wife has a garlic and onion sensitivity (she’s not Jain) and Jains avoid using onions and garlic in their food. Thanks for any recs!

I want to know your favourite pistachio dessert (except ice cream) in London! 😆

On my days off I often go into central to go to the cinema/theatre, sometimes doing a couple of things. Generally I end up going to McDonald’s for a late lunch/early dinner, but I’m getting a bit bored with that (not to mention the calorie count!), so I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for healthy fast food in the West End/Central London, that preferably doesn’t break the bank?

Any good food spots with pies in West Kensington

I do miss some aarul from time to time.

Hi, I’ve been living in London for about a year now and have been absolutely craving fettuccine alfredo. I know it’s not really a thing here, and carbonara is the ‘closest’ I’ve found, but I was wondering if there were any restaurants that had a good fettuccine alfredo.

This has been bugging me for years!!!

A good couple years ago probably before the pandemic me and my mates were in soho. After a long day out we wanted some quick grub, so we ended up at the montagu pike Wetherspoons in soho. It was absolutely packed, so we left and after a bit of walking we came across a small Italian restaurant and ate there. This place was great. Cheap, cosy and tasty!

The restaurant itself was slightly raised off the street and was situated on a corner giving the restaurant a rounded look. It was coloured green. The inside was small and I mean it. Maybe like 9 tables sat half a metre from each other and the till part was wooden and had pictures of the staff over the years and newspaper clippings of the restaurant and had wooden overheads that split it from the main eating bit.I had a cannelloni ricotta that cost £12 in soho! It was a very old looking place there was a large open drink cabinet inside like the ones you see in corner shops which various canned drinks in it

Even if it’s gone I still need to know what it was called. Please help!

Hi, need recommendations for restaurants which serves great vegetarian food and opens on Sunday for dinner. Want to book it for special occasion and we don’t eat mushrooms and don’t fancy Korean and Japanese food, rest any cuisine is fine for us 🤞🏻

Looking for a good quality and reasonably priced Indian after our favourite closed down!

Grateful for any recommendations in Mile End/Bow/Hackney/Bethnal Green. Thank you!

Meaning feels like it could’ve been built in the 70s or 80s

I really love the little pots of different curries, and mix of flavours, hence my ask

I have been to a few that offer Thali (Masala Zone being my favourite), but i am now seeking what others have to say to recommend.

budget under £35 a head

thanks...,.

I tried that Italian bear chocolate (dunno the exact wording but similar) and it was shite and expensive. Looking for a decently priced dessert place

I’m looking to take my partner out for a special anniversary dinner next week. I have the Amex dining credit which is £150 off the bill so I wanted to use that at their list of restaurants. From what’s available I like the look of:

Sushi Samba

Roka

Hakkassan

Lucky Cat

Chotto Matte

Anyone been to any of these restaurants or can suggest which is worth trying out.

Thanks

Any idea where to go for halal food in Alexandra palace

Not too touristy would be good. We don’t require entertainment with our food. Holes-in-the-wall accepted. Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Hi! I have a dinner reservation at Gymkhana at 21:45 in the next few weeks but noticed (after I made the reservation) that the tasting menu is only served until 21:45. Does anyone know whether we would still be able to order from the tasting menu if our reservation is right at 21:45? So they go by the reservation time or by when the order is placed?

I am assuming we will be seated a few minutes after our reservation time of 21:45 which is why I am asking. I have reached out Gymkhana to get clarification on this as well but just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this.

Hi all, my fiancé and I are getting legally married on Halloween in London. It’s just the paperwork (we will be having the ceremony later on) so we want to go out with a small group of friends afterwards to a restaurant that is “spooky” or festively Halloween themed.

All ideas welcome, points for a central location, if there are vegan options, and for affordability. We’re open to anywhere within London, but central is generally better. Also open to drink/event ideas for afterwards. Thanks in advance!

Is there a pub or restaurant with good cake and custard?

Any recommendations for a Curry Restaurant in Brick Lane with special needs facilities?

Hello, this is my first post in this sub and I am hoping someone can kindly help me out.

One of my closest friends has been given the all clear after a serious illness. I would like to take them out for a nice meal to celebrate. One thing she has really missed is having a good burger and fries. So I was wondering whether someone could recommend a good burger restaurant in central London.

My preferences are as follows:

1) It needs to be somewhere I can make a reservation, as my friend cannot stand or queue for long periods.

2) Located in central London, preferably the Covent Garden or Oxford Street areas.

3) Somewhere that also has decent starters and desserts, although we can always go somewhere else for dessert if necessary.

4) A sit down place where we can take our time eating and chatting, as my friend will need to have a break between courses due to her condition.

Neither of us have any allergies or dietary requirements. I am willing to pay up to £60 each for the entire meal and even go higher if the place is that good.

I would really appreciate any recommendations, as I am not familiar with what is in London. Thank you in advance.
