Restaurants in Mile End, Stepney and Whitechapel

The Monsoon

I had my 20th birthday here and honestly it was amazing had the greatest experience here all the staff were so kind and treated us so well. The food was amazing it tasted really good. 10/10 will definitely come

Eastern Eye Balti House | Best Indian Restaurant London

One of the best meals we've ever had. I don't think it's possible to order something bad on this menu. Friendly and attentive service. Cool vibe in restaurant. You will not regret

Grounded London

Great food, only 4 stars though 'cause of the beef sausage. That was sadly very meh in taste. I ordered the scrambled eggs with turkey bacon and avocado sprayed with chili. It was very lovely! My husband was also a big fan of the salmon and pouched eggs. He said whoever made the pouched eggs is very skilled in doing so. The sourdough bread is very good! 5 stars for all the other food!!

Slug & Lettuce Tower Bridge

Went for bottomless brunch for my birthday, was served by Mia and she was incredible. So friendly and really made my birthday extra special. Brought out a bottle of Prosecco with a sparkler. Thank you Mia

Wimpy

Food was underwhelming I ordered a egg McMuffin and my friend ordered a sausage an egg McMuffin and they were nice but the McMuffin to egg/sausage ratio is uneven especially if your only getting egg and the bun was a little to hard. I think it’s not really value for money 2 drinks and 2 egg McMuffins came up to £12 I would of rather of gone McDonalds. I went early in the morning the place was empty and it was clean

Nando's Middlesex Street

We came here for my partner’s birthday lunch and it was great! The server Rabi was really attentive and even gave us a freebie, making the experience that much better. Definitely recommend, will be coming back!

Zizzi - St Katharine's Docks

We called in Friday evening without booking to be seated straight away. Staff were very friendly and ordered within 10 minutes of arrival. Food came which was absolutely amazing and really tasty. Joined the Zizzi club on there app and got a free main course! Would definitely recommend!

Costa Coffee

I went into costa today and was taken care of by the loveliest of servers. I couldn’t catch his name but he made my experience memorable, this branch is by far my favourite. The place is incredibly clean and well kept, my order was perfect with absolutely no complaints. I like to have my peach tea with extra syrup, no one ever gets it right but this time it was perfect and I didn’t need to say no ice. It’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference. I will definitely be coming back more often now. The service was impeccable, I felt as though I was at a luxe café.

Nando's Spitalfields

Had the chicken platter with my wife, felt relaxed, nice high ceilings and space sit. Positive vibes from the people around us and we enjoyed the food.Kid-friendliness: Families dining togetherWheelchair accessibility: Spacious

Coffee Republic

Caffè Easy for an unpretentious breakfast but a clean environment, friendly staff and honest prices. You can go safely. The only complaint is that the service is a little slow.

Pret A Manger

Great fast service, the only issue is that this pret desperately needs a security guard on the door. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen homeless/ crazy people walk in there and scream, abuse the staff, or steal things. The poor staff don’t deserve to be treated like that.

Pret A Manger

If you wonder between the overly large pots and approach slowly you might just stumble upon a pret lurking there, although when it's dark it will scarper away, or when the clock chimes 16.30. Hot chocolate is good, service is fast enough, spacious seating area.

Pret A Manger

What a gem!!! I absolutely love this Pret. So spacious and clean. Much more open vibe than any other Pret I've been to. (my mission is to review each one I ever visit lol).Very friendly staff, it was not crowded or too loud. Clean and WORKING TOILETS!!!!Maybe not as many wall sockets compared to some other Prets, but still worth visiting.Thank you ❤️

Shell

Costa Coffee

Service was not too bad, the coffee was a alright. I got the Latte and my girlfriend got the Mocha. The prices are about level with other coffee shops in the area.However the espresso that they use in the mocha and i’m sure the espresso in general is EXTREMELY STRONG. We aren’t very caffeine sensitive but this was a lot for us lol. It felt like I had 4 monster energy drinks. We had a mocha at the Attendant that tasted much better with way less potency.So just a fair warning to eat a lot of food if you plan to have an espresso or the Mocha because it is quite strong.The place itself is nice and clean as well. Some of the workers are very fast and hard at work and there’s another that’s very slow. But they seem to have a good flow here.

McDonald's

Nice, quick stop if you need somewhere to quickly stop. It’s definitely a delivery hit as there were A LOT of delivery drivers. Would go there again, although quite small.Vegetarian options: Basically, avoid the chicken nuggets, tenders and anything that isn’t the McPlant.Dietary restrictions: Has its own vegetarian menu, but vegan menu is limited. Dairy free is not an option.Parking: Their parking was a “click and serve” (you order on the app and they serve to your car) hotspot (looked like that to me). I think there were a few parking spots.

Eat Saigon

A stand-out place to eat authentic Vietnamese food in an area where there is so much choice! Fast and efficient. Great flavours and good portion sizes that leave a grown man feeling full. Restaurant itself is small but staff are always friendly. I usually opt for the chicken pho - meat is tender and broth is flavourful. I sometimes ask for BBQ Pork summer rolls too - which isnt on the menu, yet they are always accommodating. Isn't that fantatic. Definitely would recommend to those in the area looking for a quick bite. I will be back!!

Tayyabs

The food is 10/10.... Best Indian restaurant in London.... I have been here a few times... and the chef is consistent,.. the lamb tandoori chops I always have my own portion of 4... Mango lassie is to die for.. prawn curry, spinach with potatoes and almond naan...was also very delicious...Mmmm... for 2 people the bill was the cherry on the cake for my hubby as it alll come to £60.90...I cant remember a bill being so reasonable and great food at the same timeWe will be back!

Papa Johns Pizza

Staff and service are Amazing!The people in charge should do something about the aircon, the temperature inside the shop are extremely high!The staff should be looked after, in this condition is impossible to work!

Nando's Whitechapel

Nando's Whitchapel is in a good location near the tube stop. The food is good and the customer service is great! Very nice people. Dining room ambiance is nice, comfortable and very new. I will definitely return.

Pret A Manger

I generally enjoy visiting Pret A Manager, but the 14th of July at 13:50 pm was especially memorable. People may make our day, and Paul and Anna were those people. They greeted me with a bright smile, and they made me feel at ease, and their energy is contagious. They are experts in their field. I'll return to this Pret A Manager, and I hope to see you again, Paul and Anna. Best wishes to you, Yana.Kid-friendliness: I am pregnant, and when I give birth, I will undoubtedly spend time with my child in Pret.

Rough Trade East

Saw Sam Tailer SmithThe director forAmy winehouse new movieBack to blackI cant wait to see the movie on the 12th.This was a FREE eventAnd got to talk to sam and get her autograph for me to treasure for life.

Merkamo Ethiopian

I ate at the Merkamo 100% vegan food outlet at Old Spitalfields Market, hesitant at first because I wasn't familiar with the cuisine but after a lovely chat with the friendly staff, I was so glad I did try it...The smell was unbelievable. The taste Divine.I would definitely be going back for more coconut dumplings and lentil stew and next time I will take photos.I was so hungry and memorized by the taste, my phone stayed in my bag which is an all time first ?

The Half Moon - JD Wetherspoon

We spent some days in London with our kids and had an apartment in Stepney Green. During such days, we loved to eat at the Half Moon. A nice pub with locals and students, good food and beer for a very good price. Very kind staff and super atmosphere. Highly recommended!Kid-friendliness: Kids friendly though they have to leave at 9.00pm (probably due to mandatory prescriptions).

Beigel Bake Brick Lane Bakery

Visited for a snack after a street art tour in Shoreditch. At 4pm in the afternoon, there was still a line at Beigel Bake. Don't let that put you off, the line moves fast. I ordered the salt beef beigel, and said yes to mustard and gherkin. The bagel (beigel) though nondescript in appearence was warm and moist, the salt beef slices were generous and tender and the cool gherkin just completed the taste experience. This place is a must visit if you're in Shoreditch. Just thinking about the salt beef makes my mouth water.

Costa Coffee

A 'Costa Pronto' outlet meaning that they only serve in take away mode, however there is a nice area upstairs to sit in, with a glass roof. Friendly and efficient service.

Domino's Pizza - London - Wapping

I am very happy with the customer service at this restaurant. I was served with smiles by the members of staff and Rahul who took my order was very knowledgeable and gave me a handy leaflet with full list of menu items with allergen information. Good preparation was quick and high quality. The store is not designed for eating in but has large windows towards a busy road and has nice indoor lighting so it is nice atmosphere for the short wait. I only collect so cannot speak for the delivery but the drivers and kitchen staff sound like they work together as a team which is nice.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian and vegan pizzas available.Dietary restrictions: A very comprehensive list of items with allergies covers all the information you need.Kid-friendliness: I'm sure kids love pizza

Burger King

hello.Really appreciate to the Tejaa,Tejaa helped me with deals and food ,he is so patient and knowledgeable to find the right meal with the ingredients of burgers which is suits for my taste.....thank

KFC Whitechapel - High Street

Everything else at KFC Whitechapel Liverpool Street Station makes sense except the fact there is no actual dine-in. People are made to eat outside in the cold, which I think is ridiculous.If a few seats can be provided inside the venue for usage instead of outside, then they get a 5 star ? from me, but until then, they get 3 stars ? The chicken wrap (grilled) was quite tasty and I loved the hot chocolate, it had a good amount of milk the way I like it.Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed in, and they have a special menu.
