“Drove past this restaurant and decided to give it a shot on my way back. Honestly, I didn’t expect much from them but I must say I was impressed with the food. Prices aren’t bad at all. Quantity is pretty good. I usually like my food pretty spicy which is probably the only thing I didn’t get from here even after trying the spicy stuff on the menu, aside that I really liked the food. Staff were pretty friendly and it was pretty clean and tidy. It’s a small set up but it’s pretty good.”

“Guests came from canada and had a layover in the UK. Took them here for breakfast: Got the Haleem- absolutely divine. Never had such good Haleem before. Chaane were heavenly and tasted so authentic. The naan was so crisp but soft in the middle, tasted soo good with the Chaane and Haleem. The chai. The chai. It was so good. Added 4 moons onto the whole experience. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you!”

“I recently visited [Tannu kitchen], and I’m genuinely impressed by the overall experience. From the moment I stepped in, everything — from the food quality to the staff’s professionalism — was top-notch. The staff deserves special recognition. Everyone I interacted with was polite, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. From the cashier who greeted me with a smile to the cook who quickly prepared my order, you could tell they take pride in what they do.They were efficient and organized, yet still made time to answer questions and offer recommendations. It’s rare to see such warm and professional service in a busy fast food setting. I especially appreciated how they double-checked my order to make sure everything was correct.”

“Amazing place to eat purely based on food quality. Makki di roti and sarson da saag was scrumptious. Bread pakoras, samosa, Paneer pakodas were delicious. A reviewer did say that chhole had a bite to it, which is true. But, it still is ok and doesn’t ruin the taste. One thing they could probably work on is seating. We shifted from uncomfortable place near the door to a better seat named “Ravi”. Yes, seats are named after the rivers. Overall, a great place to enjoy good quality food.”

“Great lovely staff. The food was amazing compared to other Somalis restaurants will definatly recommend”

“Was local, searched for breakfast which if open 7am. Got here. Hot tasty food infront of me in 5 min for £6. Empty belly full up now!! Good, cheap and hot food.”

“We visited Shahre Naw restaurant for the first time and had a great experience. The atmosphere was nice, the afghani lamb kebab tasted amazing, and the kabli polaw was probably just as good. The portions were big, the service was fast, and the staff were excellent.”

“I have been coming here since I was young with my father. I love the food here, it's a real authentic treat and as I'm grown up I enjoy coming here and trying new Sikh Punjabi food. It's like a family base, it always has been - THANK YOU!!! #Great Feeders Givers :):):)”

“An Exceptional Dining Experience! From the moment we walked into Giftos, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The ambiance was vibrant yet comfortable — perfect for a memorable meal. But what truly elevated the entire experience was our server, Kazi.

Every detail — from the way he presented the dishes to how attentively he checked in — reflected true excellence in service. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavors. Pairing such incredible dishes with world-class service made it a night to remember. If you’re looking for a place that combines exceptional cuisine with outstanding hospitality, Giftos is the place to go. And if you’re lucky, you’ll have Kazi as your server — he truly made the experience five stars and beyond.”

“If you are looking for a quiet date night venue to impress the lady in your life - AVOID this place. However, if you want somewhere that serves great home style cooking, made exactly how you request , at a great price and where you can bring your own bottle and have a laugh - this is a great place to visit. Extremely basic decor so dont walk in with any expectations - just enjoy the food.”
