“Specialty coffee, rustic, warm and welcoming vibes. Don, the owner is such a nice dude. Coffee is excellent. Homemade tiramisu really good too!”

“Went there for my wife's birthday dinner and we were so happy with tasty food and excellent service. Drinks from the bar took a while to prepare so eventually we ordered different drinks but other than that everything went well. Happy wife and kids.”

“A lovely little cafe I came across as being new to the area and on maternity leave. The surrounding park is gorgeous and I often pit stop at Sassis for some iced coffee and a snack :) The owner, Wayne, was super accommodating for my little one’s first birthday and let us reserve a few tables for our family & friends. The staff were amazing, very friendly & helpful throughout the day! Food & drink, as always, was great too :) Definitely recommend this lovely little cafe to anyone, we’ll be back again soon!”

“I recently had the pleasure of trying out a Greek fast food joint, and let me tell you, it was an absolute flavor explosion! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the enticing aroma of sizzling meat and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The star of the show at this Greek fast food place was undoubtedly their gyros. The succulent slices of perfectly seasoned meat, wrapped in a fluffy pita bread, accompanied by fresh vegetables and a tangy tzatziki sauce, created a symphony of flavors in every bite. The meat was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of charred goodness. It was a gyro experience that left me craving for more. But it didn't stop there. The dessert at this Greek fast food joint was nothing short of stunning. I couldn't resist trying their traditional baklava, and boy, was I blown away. Layers upon layers of flaky pastry, generously filled with a sweet and nutty mixture, topped with a luscious honey syrup that added the perfect touch of sweetness. It was like a little slice of heaven on my plate. The service at this Greek fast food place was fast and friendly. The staff was attentive and helpful, ensuring that my order was taken accurately and delivered promptly. The food was prepared with care and presented beautifully, making it an all-around enjoyable experience. If you're in the mood for some incredibly tasty Greek fast food, look no further than this place. Their gyros are amazing and their desserts are simply stunning. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on the go or sitting down to enjoy a meal, this Greek fast food joint is sure to satisfy your cravings and leave you wanting more. Don't miss out on the opportunity to indulge in these mouthwatering flavors. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”

“I have eaten a lot of pizza across the whole of London over the last 10 years and Sorrento In is genuinely the best I've had. This is judged on a margherita which in my opinion allows the most important ingredients shine through and Sorrento In's does exactly that. The tomato sauce is next level along with the taste of the dough. Closest I've had to traditional Italian pizza in London - simple as that. I'll be back, obviously!”

“We went around 7:15 PM for dinner, it was quite at the time, mostly empty. More people joined afterwards but was not overly crowded being a Wednesday night. Service was prompt and food was excellent. We are vegetarian so ordered only vegetarian food and both the items from mains were good. We also ordered two deserts and they were good too. It had calm vibes of small town Mexican dinner.”

“We came here after an event and honestly it was amazing food and great service! The staff were so attentive to our needs and gave recommendations for the best totems on the menu. P.S. try out the Guava or Mango Jarritos drink, it’s really good!”

“Just visited for the first time whilst walking my dog....so fab that a coffee place is open this early (7.30am) that I can grab a hot drink and go for a dog walk at the same place before work. Lovely coffee, pastries and very friendly staff”

“The food was excellent, and the staff is really kind, everything was perfect for me”

“We had the most beautiful breakfast here! We are from Melbourne and this is one of the best coffees we have had!!! The med eggs 10/10 and the staff were so lovely! A must visit”

“I stayed at Sofitel for a few days at the end of October to celebrate my sister's birthday. The whole staff was extremely kind and professional. A special thank you to Joe, Jeff, and the Concierge Team, who cuddled us and who did their very best to ensure an unforgettable experience! Thanks also to Erno, who helped me arrange a last-minute transfer so I didn't lose my flight!! See you next time. ;)”

“I just came in my mom for an parental outing and we decided to go here. It was so much better then I expected. Food was so good I ate it up in under five minutes. And the staff seemed very nice, queue went along fast as well. 10/10 would definitely order from here again”

“First of all, that Korean kimchi pancake is really tasty as it’s so doughy but crispy outside. The ice cream would be the perfect ending of the meal!”

“I've been here four times and I cannot believe that I haven't reviewed this place yet. First of, this is the only Thai restaurant I've been to four times (and I don't live close). Food is always amazing, and service is always fast, attentive, and welcoming. It's not your typical Thai restaurant, but the flavors are there. Last time we went we ordered the turmeric roti, nice, flaky and full of flavor. We also got the salted turmeric flossed tiger prawns, and I recommend two each (by default the order comes with three, but you can add one more), the crispy pork belly, and the beer battered chicken. We weren't that hungry last time, no none of the larger dishes. We've had their larger ones before, and we were always happy.”

“A chefs perspective of ottos it could not get more French when you walk in your transported to France. The owner is a French as they come! I thought the goats cheese soufflé was one of the best starters I’ve ever had. The scallops were also as good as it gets. The service on the starters wasn’t the best they got our starters mixed up the front of house manager took our order so that was his bad the younger waiter had to take the embarrassment for it!. I did find the front of house manager abir all the place pacing up and down the restaurant looking quite bored at times but he is good with customer with his old school approach and jokes and he’s certainly knows what he’s doing. It was quiet that night so maybe that was the mistake and the pacing up and down. As for the rack of lamb the theatre was great but the lamb was as good as roar in my opinio. I forgot how rare the French cook meat. That ruined it for me and in my opinion English peolple think that is to under cooked the worst part was the fat had not been rendered down and was very raw and tough also the whole lamb was under seasoned and it needed some sort of peas maybe as a purea?! It ruined rhe meal for me I said to my sister I’ve only cooked a rack of lamb a few times so these guys should get it bang on cooking it most nights but they messed it up big time! They should ask how you want it cooked because once it’s been carved that’s it you will have to flash it in a pan which will ruin it to cook it more! execute the cooking right b4 you bring the theatre out I would say I have never had pomme soufflés b4 I wanted to get them to see what the hype is about they were exactly how they should be looks wise a work of art crafted by a mater of his trade! They are extremely hard to make so hats of ro the chef who did them for me sadly as I expected rhe flavour was not great just like a crisp with no seasoning the salt had not even stuck to them again all about the theatre but lacking in seasoning. They would be better served with some sort of Hollandaise or aioli not the jus. The Apple tart was to die for and the chocolate pot and the after dinner truffles were not very impressive . It’s a great restaurant I would not return I would say it’s the sort of place most people would only go once I would not say it’s worth the price tag for normal people anyway. I know my food and how hospitality runs so I like to leave an honest chefs review of restaurants. I would like to say the younger guys in the team were very professional and knew what they were doing shame they have to make up mistakes of others but it was an experience I wanted to show my sister a higher class of food and service and it did deliver just a shame rhe lamb was not right. Whej it came to the bill I was not willing to pay the 12.5% tip I wanted to tip what I thought it was worth they wanted £30 service charge well I put 10£ for it and of course like all fancy places and most places in general in london they make you feel bad for it and it can create a scene my £10 was a fair tip they shpuid of been happy with considering the service they had given me and tbh this bugs me about these places I’m not from the 1% my bill is already very expensive why embarrass me in front of other guests and my sister not all guests have endless amounts of money and don’t take it personally if people cannot pay the service charge it’s optional some people are hard up and save for a meal like this. Thanks to ottos for the experience it’s something I will not forgot the French know how to eat drink and live that’s for sure there food brings joy all round the globe they are very passionate people when it comes to hospitality.”

“This is an amazing looking place. Completely unique. The nexus is interesting and everything is reasonably priced, especially considering its location. Ate here today. Quirky relaxed dining area, with reasonably priced food for the location.”

“I’ve come here nearly everyday since I moved to Stockwell recently. I am absolutely delighted with the service and food. The coffee is to an exceptional standard and the staff are very polite and helpful. My favourite local pizza place by far and I would recommend it to anyone.”

“Great local cafe with friendly service. Food portions are huge!”

“A proper 10/10 place here. I came with my friends and dog and the service was incredible - very kind - and may I say super homemade cakes! We highly recommend it!”

“Sunday lunch, it was great. We had the combination plate (meat and veggie) for three people. There was a lot of food and it was all very good. We almost ate it all. The coffee is also really good. Definitely recommend it and would definitely go back again!”

“I first became of the Sea Breeze food at the Leyton Carnaval on 13th July. I was absolutely amazed with taste and flavour of the meal I had. On Friday 25th July I visited their establishment in Walthamstow with my brother. I We ordered oxtail, rice and peas with steamed cabbage. My brother got carried away, he ordered oxtail 3 boiled dumplings and steamed cabbage, his next choice was, Ackee.and saltfish 3 boiled dumplings plus one fried dumpling and a bottle of their homemade sorrel and ginger drink, he later told me the taste of the ginger was just right, while the fall-off the bone oxtail was delicious, and that he really enjoyed the Ackee and saltfish. I can attest that this establishment serve really tasty and delicious food, very flavourful. The Sea Breeze will definitely be my favourite place to eat even though I’ll be travelling from CannHall Road, E113NH. Thank you for such for the delicious food with perfect portions.”

“It was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. I’ve been living in this area for so many years, and I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed such a place before. It’s truly wonderful — both the food and the warm welcome from the staff. Thank you very much for everything, everything was perfect. I look forward to visiting again.”

“They had good foods with great service. Worth the try.”

“Amazing street food menu - £20 for 5 small plates of street food. Menu changes and is inspired by places in India. Food is incredible. The rum old fashioned was delicious! Will be coming back :) staff are also friendly and welcoming.”

“I had the most lovely afternoon tea here to catch up with a good friend. The location (next to Marble Arch) was just lovely. Martha was a fantastic server. I felt so welcomed. The food was delicious. I loved the sunflower dessert the most!”

“We attended a wedding on Saturday the 26th of July. The food was amazing. We had such a wonderful time. Beautiful couple, beautiful venue.”

“Very good and filling wraps with a good selection to pick from. Would recommend going for the angry mama chips over the mama chips, as they are nice an spice with extra flavour. Nice take away and eat on the riverbank with a view on Tower Bridge, which is a short walk away”

“Popped in for lunch. I had beans and cheese jacket potato - which was delicious. Fluffy potato inside with lots of butter - and crispy outsides. My wife had the club day breakfast #1 which she enjoyed. Service was prompt and polite and I love the paintings no the walls!”
