Cramped. Noisy. Beef rendang extremely fatty and way too sweet. Singapore laksa noodles quite stodgy and bland. Will not be going back
Easily my favourite here in London - price went up a bit I believe but it’s aite. Service is always great too but the place can get a wee bit noisy if it’s something you’re particular about. Anyway please come here for Singaporean/Malaysian cuisine, it’s really authentic and I would know, I’m Singaporean.
I love flavor. The food is presented nicely, and they are celiac friendly to the core. But I wouldn't say that the food is worth it though. The food was ok. Not really worth a second visit. The servers were expectional. The place is a bit too loud. But understandable since it is on the mezzanine. Recommended to try 1 time. But not worth more than that.
An amazing experience. Unique amd fantastic. Great music, fantastic vybz, great communication from the owner. Would definitely attend again . 10 out of 10.
Cocktails and food at a very reasonable price for being in Covent Garden. We were on the balcony, which is lovely but a bit chilly, even with the heaters. Thanks to Charlotte for seating us inside, where we thoroughly enjoyed the music and the service. I especially recommend the Beef Tartare and the Fatal Attraction. A very pleasant experience!
Delicious food in a nice and comfortable setting, good drinks, good service, music not too loud, good lighting… Hope to return soon!
10 of us went for for dinner between colleagues. The food was very average as well as the service and the room amazingly noisy. Definitely not worth the price.
A French bistro that packs in the diners each time we enjoy a meal in this narrow storefront restaurant where you are best with a reservation. The grilled salmon and beef bourguignon are consistent favorites. The restaurant is typically packed and that raises the noise level. We keep returning.
A decent dinner but slightly overpriced and over-rated in my view. Positives: Good service, fast and friendly. Decent whisky list and the Old Fashioned’s were lovely. The bone marrow toast for starters is delicious but the caramelised onion dominates a little. Steak was very good but not excellent. Far from the best I’ve eaten. The bone marrow gravy is delicious but the maple bacon was the highlight - absolutely slaps. Downsides: £155 per head. For that money I expect something superb and nothing about the night was superb aside perhaps from the company and the aforementioned maple bacon. The steak was good - I had the large Ribeye - but honestly not excellent. I’ve had substantially better steaks in London and steaks that have matched this one in FAR less lofty establishments. Noisy AF. This is my biggest pet peeve and a major issue with many London restaurants. Having to shout at my friends all night isn’t the vibe I am looking for. Huge dining room and it felt more like a school canteen than fine dining. Had to literally wedge myself into my seat on one occasion because tables were so packed together.
A friendly, bustling, busy, noisy, bistro serving good Apulian dishes. Attentive and v friendly service, particularly after we switched to Italian. We arrived tired and hungry. Once seated we quickly revived and enjoyed our food and wine.
A lovely evening at the ever-atmospheric Ivy. Buzzy, yet not loud, vibe, wicked cocktails - do try The Mousetrap - great food, together with charming service from Erdal, who remained unfailingly polite and helpful on what was clearly a very busy evening for him and his colleagues. Thank you to all the Ivy staff concerned.
A whole unique experience!! One of the best restaurants in terms of food, vibes, music and of course hospitality. I visited with my best friend for her bachelorette party and Simone made us feel like home. We had a blast and she is the master for a night out in London. (PS please renovate the bathroom as the other sexy fish restaurants)
Representative review excerpts add operational context to the topic signals.
WARNING: THIS PLACE RIPS YOU OFF. It has been riding high from its reputation for too long and delivered one of the worst dining experiences I've had in years. I'll start with the good - the food was tasty. That's about it. The bad: 1. To sum up, I paid close to 70 GBP for a soup, a potato pancake, and a small dessert (3 bites) with a shot of alcohol. It's gotta be one of the worse value meals I've had, even in Soho. 2. I made a reservation requesting for a quieter table on the side of the restaurant. They gave us the table smack right in the middle of the restaurant, where it was ridiculously loud and I couldn't hear my partner's conversation. I felt like I was there to perform with a spotlight on me. They literally couldn't have given us a worse table in the restaurant. When we said we wanted to leave because this is not the experience we were hoping for, they seated us elsewhere, not wanting to lose the business. 3. The lady with the tattoos serving us was absolutely awful. She was hurrying us throughout the night, and gave us a lot of pressure to order basically immediately when we seated, after 10 seconds of perusing the menu. While I went to the bathroom, she took away my food when I had literally eaten just half of it. I didn't end up getting my food back, and left just as hungry as when I entered the restaurant. 4. When I asked for the bill, she just handed me a card machine, without giving me the receipt to check that it was indeed the right bill. I was courteous and paid, and even gave a generous tip, but asked for the receipt afterwards to make sure the bill was right. She said sure and just gave me the credit card receipt, which just showed I had paid close to 70 GBP, and never gave me the actual receipt. To this moment, I don't know how I could've paid almost 70 GBP, given that the small items I ordered should've cost less than 50 GBP in total, even with a 12.5% service charge. She never gave me that bill receipt. Needless to say, I felt pretty annoyed and honestly, scammed, from dining at ZIMA at Soho. I would NOT recommend anyone visit, but if you do, please make sure you ask for you bill multiple times, and review it, before making any sort of payment.

Was there for a birthday celebration, that we had let them know about. We were there early so had some cocktails in the bar and the staff there were great. We were then moved to our table and placed our orders. - not all orders arrives - wrong orders arrived and server tried to argue that we had ordered the wrong item (mushrooms for someone who hates mushrooms so unlikely) - hair in food Fire alarms went off while we were there and lights all came on but no information from staff as to what was happening. Music was very loud and difficult to have conversations across the table. Server was inattentive and created an atmosphere with the guy bringing food to the table by snatching it out of his hands. At the end of the meal she tried to make small talk and asked if we were there for an occasion and when told, by the birthday person, it was a birthday then came back with the complimentary birthday dessert. Not the service we expected especially since this was on the booking. Added to the drugs on the floor of the toilet, this is not somewhere we would go back to or recommend to others.

Love this restaurant! The food is fabulous, lovely cocktails and busy enough to be indicative of a good night out without the rush or the noise of a too stressed service. Talking of which, the service is amazing, particular praise for Alex who looked after us so well and high 5 for the waitress who agreed with me about endless chewing of a whelk doesn’t make it diner friendly! (Apologies for not catching your name) Would definitely recommend.
