Cleanliness review insights for England, United Kingdom, Restaurants

Came here with friends for happy hour drinks and dinner, the concept is familiar (sort of levantine sharing plates) and the good was quite good though I've had better (Nora for example). The only down side was a rather rude waitress who not only reminded us that she needed the table back, got pantsy about giving one of our party a happy hour drink at one minute past, and then was cleaning the table whilst we were still getting up from the table (I might understand if they had a party waiting but it just came off rude).

Horrible in hygiene and food taste. The food ordered was oily and the potatoes were uncooked Seriously bad taste food and bad experience. Honest suggestion never to go.

£60 for two people. Had tea and the pot wasn't clean (had coffee grounds on it). There is also a 12.5% service charge to makeup for the prices being low. The service charge is not obvious and in small print on the menus so it is hard to notice. Obviously this is by design. Food was good overall however a little small and although tasty it was not quite good enough to be at the price it was. Service was ok but not what you would expect from a restaurant like this. When arriving there was no one at the entrance to say if they had room available so we had to search for someone to seat us. For £60 for two people you would expect it to be better.

As a couple, we were shown to a booth, which was really good & a big improvement on a cramped table. As we were in a Mediterranean/Turkish restaurant, we decided to try the Turkish wine - white for me & red for my husband. Both were very nice indeed! Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. The seats were a bit dirty with crumbs, presumably left over from the last diners. Didn't love the toilets which could've done with a clean. There were a couple of little flies buzzing around the table. None of these things on their own would've bothered me particularly, but all together with the disappointing food, left a negative impression. I ordered the moussaka which quite frankly looked & tasted like a ready meal, swimming in tomato soup. It said it came with salad & bulgar wheat. There was no sign of any bulgar wheat, which I queried as soon as the food arrived, but I'm not sure the waiter understood me. I mentioned it again to another waiter at the end of the meal and he said that the moussaka was made with bulgar wheat. His manner was not great either. Maybe that was a misunderstanding on my part but the menu implied you'd get bulgar wheat as a side dish. The salad was a limp bowl of leaves, with a bit of tomato, with a tasteless dressing. My husband had fish & chips, which again he said was mediocre. Overall, a disappointing experience - and not cheap either. We won't be coming back and I wouldn't recommend.

As someone who regularly frequent Michelin starred restaurants this was an extremely disappointing experience on what should have been a celebration birthday meal. The ambiance is odd, the noise from the extractor fan in the middle of the restaurant was constant, the staff looked positively cheesed off! On being seated we were not offered the wine menu and had to ask for it, we were not really advised on any wine or soft drink pairings. When my husband asked for a copy of the menu so he knew what was coming next he was told " we don't give you them while eating in case you get it dirty"?! The menu itself was not that exciting, the raw scallop and mushroom dish was underwhelming, none of the dishes had any wow factor , including the somewhat random mashed potato dessert. If this restaurant wasn't so expensive...and by golly it is ..we would have maybe let it go but it really does not deserve to charge what it does and have 2 stars . Normally we would get an email from the restaurant directly after asking for feedback but nothing..so the feedback is here!!! Avoid..there are far better restaurants in Shoreditch if you want a great meal!!

We had seen Chef Gauthier on a French channel talk about his cooking and his journey to vegan cuisine. He was exciting to listen to and made us want to taste his cuisine so much that we took advantage of our trip to London to book our table. Unfortunately it was a flop! We had taken one pairing of food and wine and the other without alcohol. The wines were without real discovery but good. As for the alcohol-free version, uninteresting and especially too sweet which does not help to awaken the senses for the rest. The 1st course was nice, the second we had an excellent brioche and a carrot terrine without much flavor except as soon as the statement of the paper. And then the dishes went on...very sweet and unfortunately no pep. It was bland. I felt like I got ripped off when at the end we are not even offered coffee or if we want something else but we are given the bill with a small sheet to note our comments. At this price I expect a little more even if the dessert was very good, just like the pre-dessert. The impression is that we have taken a ride that has not only caused us few sensations and that we are thrown out. In Switzerland the good restaurant in general the chef or in his absence his second comes to go around the tables and see if everything went well....the nothing... THE
