Aladin Brick Lane

Mediocre at best, and as others have said a lot of the reviews are not real. Lacking flavor and spice, and everything served warm.

Lamb samosa were dry and lacked flavor. Shrimp "Blast" was not fresh, and had a strong smell and was mealy - this was supposed to be thier award winning dish. Lamb kurma was gritty and way too sweet. The naan was quite good, but the paratha was gummy. Veggie biryani was decent.  Best part of the meal was the pappadums - although menu says thet are .75p/ea, but somehow got charged £6 for 5 (we made sure to count).

I am sure that they were well reviewed in the past, but thier best days are long behind them. Service was really lacking, and they constantly seem put out just to get us water. Too bad we didn't have Jack serve us, who seems to be mentioned the exact same way in soooo many reviews.

Finally, make sure to check your bill, they seem to just tack on charges. Our bill came to £88.65, but adding it I can't understand how.

I do not recommend at all.

Best  meal ever, lamb bouzjon was fabulous as was everything.  Dudu, Manna and Kawsar  and Abdul were wonderful. Great service, great food, everyone should try this place. Jen and John from Australia 🇦🇺  5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Went here yesterday as a birthday treat given to me by my wife.
Food was excellent , service was very good and attentive decor a little dated but not an issue, would come here again.
Atmosphere i marked down simply because we were the only ones in there as it was early.

My sister and I had a lovely time at Aladin tonight for dinner. Jack was our server and he was polite and very friendly. The food was incredible- I have come here a few times before and I am always happy. Will definitely be back!

Maybe there are hidden gems on brick lane but in 2025 it seems that, like this place, they have all become tourist traps. The food was average at best. Also be weary you can be seated in the windowless basement which is not appealing.

A sophisticated escape from the ordinary, where every dish tells a story of culinary craftsmanship. Located in the heart of London, this is where London's food scene comes alive.

Sen Viet Vegan Restaurant

FANTASTIC VEGAN PLACE!

The absolute highlights for me were:
1. 15C Bun Cha President- I asked the lovely waiter for a recommendation and he suggested this one. It was superb 10/10!
2. Crispy Pancake- The filling combined with the light, crunchy pancake was incredible. Highly recommend this!
3. Fried Rice (side) I saw a previous review mention how good this was so I had to try it. They were right, it’s super flavoursome- I ate it on its own!
4. Sierra Yogurt Smoothie was my favourite drink of the night. Creamy, refreshing and delicious.

Honestly, everything I tried was great, but these are my must haves! The food is fresh and satisfying, you leave feeling full but not heavy.
I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

Had an amazing lunch here. All the dishes we had were top notch. Served quickly and with a smile. Love this place.

Recommend the pho and the tofu and lemongrass dish.

Also does a 15% discount at lunchtimes (Mon to Fri).

What a lovely place I stumbled across by chance! Really nice and quiet atmosphere. Very hospitable and great service. The food was great! Great location just around the corner from the Museum of the Home. I was in the area for a week long training session for work and kept going back here for lunch everyday. It was really good Vegan food and gluten is clearly labelled on the menu which is great!

Last Friday night, we were craving Vietnamese food after work and found Sen Viet Vegan Restaurant through a quick Google search. With a high 4.8 rating, we decided to give it a try—without realising at first that it was fully vegan.

Once seated and looking through the menu, we noticed everything was plant-based. We figured it might be a good opportunity to enjoy a lighter meal and do a little detox. We ordered the vegan spring rolls, fried noodles, and a stir-fried vegetable dish. All the dishes were flavourful and well-prepared, and for a vegan restaurant, the taste did not disappoint.

However, shortly after we returned home, we both began feeling extremely thirsty—and that feeling lasted the entire night. This left us concerned that the food may have contained a significant amount of MSG, which was quite disappointing after what initially felt like a healthy, light meal.

While the taste was good and we might have recommended it to friends looking for vegan options, the after-effect changed our minds. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t return due to this experience.

This restaurant is a special place! It is a simple, carefully curated space, which is exactly what I love!
The food was exceptionally good and the staff was so friendly and patient with me. I asked them so many questions and took such a long time deciding what to order and they were nothing but lovely!
In the end I chose a green curry with banana and it was very delicious!
Even the tea I had was really good. On top, the price was less than what I paid in other restaurants!

Not your average curry house. This Central London institution elevates indian cuisine with techniques that would make grandmothers proud and food critics weep. With ratings this high, it's no wonder locals keep coming...

The India - City Road

Hussain and Pavlu are awesome attentive fabulous waiters!! They took great care of us and we enjoyed a spectacular meal of salmon tikka  and duck jalfrezi, garlic naan,  pulao rice and mango lassi! Both the duck and the salmon were cooked to perfection melt in your mouth, delicious!! The mango lassi were absolutely fabulous, too. If you ate in London, you must try this wonderful restaurant on City Road! Pavlu will give you five star service with a five star meal!

Came here for a post birthday meal. From the outset the place looked nice. We had a waiter place us in a nice spot, take our orders & suggest dishes for our aquired tastes. The grill was done to perfection, not too dry or hard with plenty of flavour. In fact all the dishes served with special salad & sauces were lovely. My only slight niggling point was the noise from other tables which meant we often had to talk louder to hear each other. Overall all the dishes had unique flavours & were prepared fantastically. The service from the staff was excellent. Will certainly return back here totally recommend to others.

Food, atmosphere and service was great! Mabzi was friendly and helped enhance our experience at the restaurant from helping us navigate the menu to surprising us with chocolates (and shots!) at the end of our meal. Huge thanks to the team for their amazing hospitality and tasty food!

The food was great, there’s loads of options for choose from and if you like media spicy definitely recommend the one I had which was one of the chef specials, if that’s not for you then I’m sure there’s something else that’s less spicy or spicier.

Mabzi was great at making sure my food was correct and that I was enjoying everything, if you love Indian food I definitely recommend this place!!

Found this great restaurant via The Fork app and was impressed with the positive reviews.
It lived up to expectations with delicious food and excellent service. We started with the pappadams and assorted sauces. So tasty we demolished a double serve. They were perfectly crisp and melted in your mouth. Minted yoghurt and tangy onion tomato condiments were excellent accompaniments.
Mains were from the Chefs special page: a creamy coconut prawn dish that the waiter advised wd be better for us than the much spicier one we had chosen. Serving size equalled 2-3 butterflied prawns each. The other lamb shank dish was very generous and tasty. Lemon rice was a good side.
Seating was comfortable and even with others either side not too noisy or cramped.
Excellent value for money with attentive waiters and food delivered fast. A great choice. Thank you to all who served us!

Standard destination offering Chinese set lunches and a la carte dining.

The Sichuan Restaurant

Nice Sichuan Restaurant in the city. They have good selection of regional Chinese dishes and they served the orders quite promptly.  I just wished that if the menu indicated 3  hot or spicy levels, the dish should be really in hot and spicy level the way Sichuan dishes have in China. Staff are all attentive and accommodating.  They have clean washrooms as well.

Overall the food is really good, using straight away and said down a straight away. Food came in good pace and it genuinely felt like you're in China. We ordered a range of food for two with sparkling water. My favourite was the roasted duck and the noodles.  We also ordered the cucumber salad which was a bit of disappointment. Authentic, good price and service.  Would go again

Decent spot for Sichuan between Old Street and Moorgate stations. We had crispy duck and soft shell crab starters, followed by dan dan noodles (nice and spicy) and crispy shredded beef.

We had a great experience at this Chinese restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Highlights of the meal included the dry-fried green beans, which were crispy and savory, and the stir-fried onions with pork, which had a delicious balance of sweetness and spice. The eggplant dish was rich and tender, soaking up the sauce beautifully. The fried rice was light yet satisfying, with a nice mix of chicken, ham, and vegetables. Portions were generous and the service was friendly. A solid spot for authentic Chinese food—we’ll definitely be back!

The food was super nice. Everyone service was very nice and friendly ( Ellie Cindy Backy Ruby and Head ) very nice team. Will come back for sure

Where innovation meets tradition - expect the unexpected in every beautifully plated creation. Located in the heart of London, this is where London's food scene comes alive.

Afghan Grill

Afghan Grill offered a delightful culinary experience with truly good, flavorful food that hit the spot. While the service was competent, it leaned more towards adequate than exceptional. Despite this, the delicious dishes and cozy atmosphere made for an enjoyable meal. Perfect for a casual Afghan food craving!

Today’s experience was good. Food was very good.
Kebabs were marinated and grilled to perfection, mouthwatering.
Salad was fresh, juicy, tangy.
My child also enjoyed the food.
Service was prompt and attentive, not like described by reviews below.
We will return.
Many thanks Afghan Grill.

My family and I came here for lunch. We ordered the Grand Grill and really enjoyed it. Everything is delicious, the prices are very low as well. The service was also very good. Anas was our server, he was very kind and took care of us.

I recommend everyone to come here and have the barbecue, it’s authentic, fresh and definitely the best I’ve had for a very good price.

Had the whole chicken with rice, rice (kabuli pilao) was very nice! Whole chicken is rotisserie then on a grill, so wasn't as good as the chicken shish.

Chicken shish and the Chaplin kebab was very nice. Would recommend!

3 people £38 and had food left to take home.

We went to restaurant after seeing Instagram food blogger reviewing the restaurant highly  and was greatly disappointed. It’s does question how authentic these so called food bloggers  are. On arrival the restaurant was smokey. The table we were seated at was dirty and we had to stand for it to be cleaned. The waiter was not attentive to the order in which customers came in. The restaurant is not an authentic afghan restaurant.It is a Bengali owned restaurant with Afghani chefs. We wish to order chips and at 7pm they had run out of chips. The lamb kebab was soggy with sauce and bengali style tomato salad with fresh chillies.  The kabuli pilau barely had any meat only bones and fat. The Chappli Kebab meal was the only meal we enjoyed. The staff really need to work on customer service as the waiter started taking plates and cleaning the table before we had even left. Will not be returning again.
