“Loved the specials! Very friendly and perfect informal dining with a good vibe. Dalia was lovely and everyone very attentive.”

“We overall love this bar and have been coming on and off for years. We first visited many years ago before they installed air con, and our complaint then was how warm it got when busy, the adding of the air con is brilliant. In recent days, we've become regulars. Where to start with the praise? Great vibe, musicals on the screens and lovely clean toilets. Lee, the doorman, is brilliant. A model bouncer and doorman. Last year, we unfortunately had an experience with a straight man who became aggressive to us and we told the bar staff who got Lee, whom proceeded to kick him out with 0 hassle to us and made us feel safe. This is our only bad experience in 5+ years of coming here as the place is great. The cocktails are inventive, delicious and bright to look at. Their new movie night Mondays is a great initiative and their changing boards of cocktails often based on musicals that have come to the city, are brilliant. The bar staff are so smiley, pleasant and love a laugh. One remembers my order every time which is special to us to be remembered. Our only complaint now, is that they're so busy some nights we never have anywhere to sit. But we're so happy they're full and business is booming!”

It will now become my go-to for Thai food. Restaurant quality food at take away prices!! Very impressed and greatful for the great food. Thank you”

“Genuinely one of the best currys I had ever had. I had their house lam curry on the bone, unbelievable. I will be back very soon to eat it again. Also the prawn tandoori starter and the pork chops were unreal, and it's BYOB! Also very good with my gluten intolerance.”

“This nice little restaurant is a wonderful delight. The service was excellent all the way and food very satisfying. Excellent value for money too.”

“A food truck with a 4-seater table along a not too busy street. The food is prepared by two friendly Thai ladies and the taste is authentic. Pad thai is only £6 for lunch. It is hot and delicious at good portion! It is even tastier than many Thai restaurants I have tried before. What a surprise! People are mainly ordering takeaway.”

“What a gem of a place. This is one of the most authentic and pleasent Italian places I had the pleasure to eat at in a very long time. Let's say that if I lived in theare me and my girlfriend would most definitely weight a few more stones/Kgs. As well as the food it is cosy, attentive stuff, quick enough service (to not make you think they want you out of the door) definitely a must try.... Book of you can as space is limited.”

“Visited yesterday. Knew the food would be good because I've been before but I just wanted to leave a review to say how amazing the service was. So polite, attentive and to be honest the best restaurant service I've had in a while! Also, as they were about to shut the kitchen, an elderly gentleman who i assume must be a regular came in and they didnt even tell him they were closing, they just served him and it honestly warmed my cold icy heart ❤️ 100% recommend a visit.”

“It's a small cafe so there isn't really an atmosphere. Feels unfair to score low on this though and I imagine there is an atmosphere in the warmer months. Service was great, the food was lovely. The tatseki is amazing. Yummy Yummy yummy”

“Absolute gem of a place. Stumbled across it whilst looking for some chips for my son after visiting the nearby park. The place was really cosy and staff very friendly. I can't believe how cheap the prices are. Portion size was huge. Food was fresh, tasty and hot. Had a lovely fireplace and toys for children to play with. I ordered for takeout but you can dine in.”

“Love this place. Proper full English breakfasts, afternoon teas. When you’re finished, take home fabulous cakes, buns and pastries. We’ve been many times. Great place. Went for ABBA night last night, had a great time. Loved it.”

“This place is great! The staff were very helpful when we asked about vegan options and the food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely order here again ☺️”

“Delicious food for a great price. We got the sharing platter for 2 and it was huge! The staff were also lovely - all round would definitely recommend”

“I went there via online booking. It was very convenient that I can change time just a few hours before. I ordered lasagna and my friend ordered calbonara. Lasagna is served only weekends and flavor is seasonal. My lasagna was filled with panchetta, butter squash and mushrooms. The taste was good. The waiter wrongly served our dishes to the next table (unfortunately they ordered totally same dishes), so we had to wait for 40 minutes to be served. I am sorry for the waiter, but I was so tired because of 23 hours flight from Tokyo. However, they sincerely apologize for it and gave us free desert. Thanks to their kind offer, we could enjoy our dinner. My Italian friend said it was delicious. So it's authentic pasta.”

“I’ve been eating here for over a year now and the choice, price and quality of food is always top quality. But, yesterday a chose to eat the Xmas sandwich and it took it to a whole new level. It was absolutely delicious Please keep it up Jan and your great team. xx”

“Ordered a bacon sasuage and cheese bagle and it was delicious, real sasuage with a flavour high quality bacon. But the range of beads meats pasta was outstanding and would recommend this place to anybody passing by like I was.”

“Staff are very friendly and kind One of the best shop”

“I had the seafood here and it was absolutely delicious! Fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. A wonderful dining experience I’d happily repeat”

“Derbar is one of the best Iranian restaurants I’ve ever tried! The food is absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and beautifully presented. From the kebabs to the rice, every bite was perfect. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended if you’re looking for real Persian taste!”
