Pizza Express
335 Upper St, LondonIt was ok, I went in with my wife for a quiet lunch and not very busy but for some reason they sat everyone together. They forgot to put our order thru so food was late plus they forgot our side order. They made up for it by offering desserts free of charge, which has raised my score. Don't forget to get money off using the app.

Chipotle Mexican Grill
334 Upper St, LondonMe and my partner had a very good experience in chipotle today.
We visited on 14th of February, after work we decided to grab a quick bite to eat and chipotle sounded like a perfect choice.
As we walked in we were welcomed by a staff member behind the counter.
I mentioned that it’s my first time in chipotle.
We went for burritos.
I got the vegetarian one, my partner chicken one.
Both burritos were very full, they almost didn’t close :-)
The staff were super nice and made us feel special, all of them were friendly and polite, I also noticed even when it was no customers they kept themselves busy with other tasks.
The ingredients were fresh, even when one staff member was about to add rice to my burrito another one replaced the older rice container with new one.
Our food was very tasty and full of flavour.
We won free chips as a Valentine’s Day lottery :-)
I can highly recommend this place for a quick and tasty meal without spending too much money.
I will be back to try more options!
Thanks!

“I recently ordered from Monsoon Indian Takeaway on Essex Road, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was packed with authentic flavors, perfectly spiced, and arrived piping hot. The chicken tikka masala was rich and creamy, the lamb biryani was fragrant and delicious, and the naan bread was soft and fresh.
The portion sizes were generous, and the quality of ingredients was evident in every bite. On top of that, the service was friendly and efficient, with fast delivery and great attention to detail.
If you’re looking for a top-quality Indian takeaway in the area, Monsoon is a must-try! I’ll definitely be ordering again soon!”

Five Guys Islington
71 Upper St, LondonI been to five guys in Angel 2 times already.
I would come more often, but as a person who doesn’t eat meat I have only one option which is veggie sandwich.
When I go there it’s only because my boyfriend or friends insist to go.
Today we went as it was Christmas Eve so not everything was open and we were passing by and we were both hungry so we decided to pop in to five guys.
The veggie sandwich is basically just bread and veggies inside..
The service was nice, the lady wasn’t pressuring us to order quickly, she was patient and polite.
I do appreciate it as sometimes I feel like I have to make quick decision even tho I would like to ask some questions about the menu.
As I mentioned I have only one option so what I would like to say that five guys could invent some other option like veggie burger maybe with halloumi or veggie patty- this would make me ( and other vegetarian/pescatarian people)to visit more often as I like the fries and shakes.
The place wasn’t busy.
It was clean.
I can recommend for ppl who like beef as I heard it’s best burger in town if it comes to beef.
The prices are a bit high.
The beef burger is around 12£ which is quite pricey for the size you are getting.
We spent 30£ for veggie sandwich, burger, big fries and a drink that you can refill.
I like the American vibe and decor, it’s very cool.
Thanks.

The Bull Islington
100 Upper St, LondonWe booked here for our annual Christmas lunch. We'd pre-ordered our three courses, plus drinks on arrival. When we arrived, our table was ready, the food came quickly and Jose & Kieran took good care of us. The food was tasty - the pate was really nice. The pork belly was good too and the profiteroles were great with the salted caramel inside. The place was very busy with other Christmas parties, plus those just in a for a drink but everything went well. The only thing was that we were right by the door, so it was a little cold at times, but nothing major. We'd definitely consider coming back.

Nando's Kings Cross
12 - 16 York Wy, LondonI visited Nando's for the first time when I was in London. It's been a long time coming so I stopped for a quick meal at the closest location. We started with the hummus, which was great. I liked that it came with a peri peri drizzle for it. We ordered 1/4 chicken with chips and corn and the boneless chicken thighs with garlic bread and spicy rice (note: not spicy). The peri peri chicken was delicious--it was juicy and full of flavor! But, none of their famous sauces were particularly hot, which was a bit disappointing if you're looking for a serious spice kick. At one point we had six or seven of their sauces on our table because I tried combining different ones to make a spicy, or even appetizing one but none were good, which is a let down. The sauces are more on the tangy side. Garlic and Extra Hot were okay. Lemon & Herb is honestly terrible. Conveniently located across from King's Cross Station, the restaurant has a large layout spread over two floors. There was a line during my visit (approximately a 20-minute wait), and the bathrooms are located downstairs.

Pret A Manger
54-60 York Wy, LondonI like this brand. It seems that the matcha is natural, not bottled like at Caffè Nero or the other brand... which made me feel awful all day! There are options for healthy eating, although the sandwiches are quite ultra-processed. You just have to read the label with more than 10 ingredients... However, you have options such as pieces of fruit, which I love. I recommend it and I like the brand! The place could be cleaner, especially the tables and seats.

Raj was very kind, friendly and calm, despite me being slightly agitated/aggressive on the phone with him, which I feel quite bad about. Thank you for the amazing service and great pizza. Please give Raj a raise! He deserves it. Need more employees like him. Apologies once again.

Papa Johns Pizza
202 Hoxton St, and CityI’ve order here quite a few times and I would say it’s very hit or miss.The cheese pizza is either really hot and cheesy or stale and over baked.Sometimes the crust feels very tough and chewy but the jalapeño papa bites have always been delicious with the perfect kick of spicy and deliciously cheesy.The garlic pizza stick doesn’t taste very garlicky and the garden party pizza often taste dry and the vegetables don’t taste fresh and can sometimes be a bit slimy.The Oreo bites are really tasty,the cream cheese icing is delicious with the perfect Oreo crumb.Sometimes they do give a variety of different sauce pots which is great but usually they stick with the garlic and herb which can get quite boring.

The White Swan - JD Wetherspoon
255-256 Upper St, London? Highbury & Islington
? £3.33 Carlsberg
❤️ A bright and airy Spoons.
.
The White Swan is located on Highbury Corner where Upper Street meets Holloway Road. The nearest Tube is Highbury & Islington.
.
This Wetherspoons pub preserves the name of The Old White Swan which once stood close by at the end of Holloway Road. The Old White Swan was demolished in 1960, this building was built in 1962 as Club Union House, headquarters of the Working Men’s Club & Institute Union.
.
This is a fairly large spoons which has a long servery on the right, a dining area at the back and a mezzanine overlooking the main bar. The decor here is modern, vibrant and colourful and the pub felt bright and airy. The Wetherspoons staples are evident here, the carpet is a bit trippy, lots of historical info on prints on the walls plus lots of poser tables.
.
The beer range is as vast as ever, there were five cask options to choose from plus a host of familiar favourites. We all had a Carlsberg which was cold and lively, cost was all the three’s £3.33. Like the beer, there is an extensive reasonably priced food menu, Fish & Chips costs £9.78.
.
My Brother, Nephew and I decided to pop in here for our first pint on St Patrick’s Day as most other pubs opened their doors at 12pm. The atmosphere was laid back and chilled with a few old boys out for an early beverage, there were few workmen in who were sat up the back enjoying a bit of brekkie. The atmosphere was quintessentially Spoons, one minute there is a wall of noise, the next minute you could here a mouse fart.
.
I have visited this pub many times on my way to see The Arsenal , it does get ridiculously busy on match days, so I would avoid visiting then. This is a clean and tidy boozer and it does exactly what it says on the tin, if you get my drift.
