    Mocha

    For the items they have on the menu in general, they are pretty hard to mess up, so I would say that everything that I have ordered was done properly, just not spectacular. I was satisfied with everything I have gotten, for a relatively reasonable price. I will say, though, that the mozzarella sandwich is slightly underwhelming because the vegetables around it seemed to just be placed there to be minimally edible. But the sandwich itself was pretty good, with mozzarella and balsamic vinegar constituting the taste. I enjoyed the full English breakfast, although it was slightly more expensive than the equivalent I have had elsewhere, maybe because the establishment was right next to the Tower of London, but that's okay. The food was solid and allowed me to have a good experience. For those around the area ready for a quick bite, and visiting the Tower of London, I would recommend this place.

    Friendly staff and great food! Was my first time having a full English breakfast and everything on it was delicious!

    Quaint indoor restaurant near Tower Bridge and All Hallows Church.

    A quiet indoor but airy spot next to All Hallows Church and the Tower of London. It was a perfect spot after all the school children and stories of torture and imprisonment. Fish and chips and an English breakfast warmed us up after a cloudy, damp morning. Service was quick, too.

    Croque Madame was amazing!

    Everything about our visit exceeded my expectations! A bit hard to find, but it was well worth it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was simply beautiful, and the gentleman host was a gem.

    This was our first meal of the day. The scrambled eggs were fresh and tasty. The eggs in the UK just taste better than in the states. The gamon was served cold, so of course I asked them to heat it up. It was fresh and a quality piece of meat. The other entree was a traditional English breakfast minus the blood pudding. We also had a mango juice which tasted like boxed juice and a Coke. The staff was friendly. They charged a 10% discretionary service charge.

    Great atmosphere, breakfast is excellent! Beautiful hidden spot by the Tower of London. Staff is on top of everything and very pleasant. I highly recommend!

    No reservation needed here which was good. It was an easy walk over the bridge. I had the English breakfast and the yogurt waffle. Food was good. I didn't care much for the waffle. I ordered it with just the fruits on top and no yogurt. I don't think the fruits were too fresh. I would've been better off with a plain waffle and syrup.

    Stopped in for breakfast before my flight out of London. It was a few minutes walk from our hotel near the river. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside. My friend and I already knew what we wanted. I had English tea with English breakfast. My friend did the veggie breakfast. Both were delicious. I love having the beans for breakfast and the veggies. A little different from our typical American breakfast. The restaurant is cozy and cute inside. You can see everything outside around you. Great spot for grabbing some food if you're around the Tower of London.

    Love this brand and all of their drinks.

    This is a great spot across from Towers London. Inside is super cute and there is plenty of natural light. Flowers on all the tables give it a nice touch. The service is good, efficient but not overwhelming. The food is great! I highly recommend the fish and chips. It's perfectly battered and fried so it's crispy and light, and then lightly salted. The fries are delicious too.

    Byward Kitchen and Bar is actually a quiet, laid back café attached to a very old and beautiful little church! I have to say that it kind of amuses me that a well stocked bar is attached to a church! Anyways, we came here one morning because it was open quite early and about a 5 minute walk from our hotel. It took us a moment to find, but once you go inside there is a cozy little dining area within. We both ordered a Full English (breakfast, 9 gbp). The food was very tasty and satisfying. The ham and mushrooms were done very well, and of course the banger (sausage) and baked beans were also very delicious. The plate also comes with hash browns, tomato, toast, eggs, blood sausage, and bacon. A lot more food than it may at first appear! The young lady working there was quiet and polite. We were the only people in the place 20 minutes after it opened, so service was good. :) Byward Kitchen and Bar is a nice, quiet laid back place to enjoy a satisfying breakfast at a fair price. I really enjoyed this place and if you have a chance, check them out! 4 stars. Yay! I'm a fan.

    Had a very enjoyable full English breakfast here after arriving from the States the previous day. Warm atmosphere and nice daylight to top it off, some great oldies music to complement the atmosphere. Wonderful food and service, highly recommend.

    We had a big family lunch at Dishoom when we were in London last month, and it was everything I…read morehoped for, an Indian restaurant unlike any I've encountered at home. I feel like all my friends who've been to London have come back talking about this place, and I'm happy to join their ranks. Dishoom was also one of a handful of dining options recommended by my hotel concierge for a party of 11, including kids. Booking was easy, via SevenRooms, no phone calls or emails necessary. It's a large restaurant, and part of a popular chain--I guess they have things figured out. The space was great, open and casual, exposed ceilings and eclectic decor. Lots of fans, which my three-year-old appreciated. Service was friendly and attentive. I started my lunch with a drink, a refreshing green India Gimlet, gin and Rose's lime with celery bitters and fresh dill. I also tried and liked a sip of the New Permit Room Old-Fashioned, a slightly sweet cocktail with coconut-washed bourbon, Pedo Ximénez sherry, and Medjool date liqueur. There was only one menu available for a party of our size, a pre-set family-style group feast for eight adults, to which we added a pre-ordered platter of lamb chops. I loved the variety of dishes that came with this meal, and every one of them was ridiculously delicious. (There was less available for the three small American children, but they loaded up on hotel breakfast and snacked on naan and colorful puffed crackers.) The first round brought trays loaded with keema pau, okra fries, and bhel, along with lime, cilantro, and sauces for serving. The keema pau was incredible, probably my favorite dish of our lunch, if in part because it was 100% new to me. It was a spicy, aromatic blend of minced lamb and peas with dill and lindi pepper, served with toasted, buttered buns to make little sliders. So much flavor, it almost explained, by itself, why the British could never leave India alone. The okra fries were warm and crispy, and I loved the bhel, a crunchy snack of puffed rice, peanuts, and Bombay Mix tossed with pomegranate, tomato, onion, lime, tamarind, and mint. The main course was another giant spread: chicken ruby, house black daal, awadhi jackfruit biryani, and chilled broccoli salad, plus our charred lamb chops, with sides of roti, naan, and raita. The chicken ruby was the highlight here, a fragrant, comforting curry with tender chicken in a buttery makhani sauce. The house black daal is a Dishoom signature, and it was lovely, cooked for over 24 hours. The biryani was fluffy and nice, studded with jackfruit, barberries, and sultanas. The broccoli salad was a fresh hit of green, enhanced with pistachio, mint, red chillies, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, dates, and lime. The lamb chops made for a hearty entrée with a lot of flavor, the lamb marinated, grilled, and finished with Kashmiri chilli sauce. The thin, griddled roomali roti and the fresh-baked naan were both great accompaniments, as was the minty, cucumbery raita. For dessert, we had a choice of kulfi, creamy ice pops available in mango, pistachio, or malai, the original flavor touched with caramel. All three were superb, so cold and milk, easy to throw down the hatch. This was, it turned out, an enormous feast, but everything was so delicious and well balanced that I didn't notice how much I was eating until I got up. I was still full several hours later, when we went to dinner. If you want to eat Indian food in London, you should definitely find your nearest Dishoom. It's a wonderful restaurant, with top-notch food and no hassle. I certainly intend to go again.

    I was finally able to try Dishoom on my last trip to London and we came by with a large group so…read morewere lucky to try a variety of dishes. First, I started with the mango lassi which was so fresh and naturally sweet. I loved the fennel seeds on top for added flavor. Such a great start to the meal. My favorites of the night were the chicken ruby (a must order and crowd pleaser), lamb biryani, and black daal. The chilli chicken was also a super flavorful app to share and the garlic naan was great as well. Everything is nicely flavored and I appreciate how patient and understanding the staff were with the food allergies and restrictions our group had. Definitely a must in London!

    Oh. My. Goodness…read more This place is so beyond good that I have literally just finished my meal and have rushed to write a review. So I live around the corner and have always popped in, in an attempt to try their legendary burgers. I've always arrived on the last day etc etc and left it. The open hours that come up online and are not accurate and need updating, they were certainly open later than 8 when I visited on a Wednesday. Alas, today. The lovely chef/gentleman working behind the counter in 34 degree heat talked me through the options. I went for the Veg Thai green curry with rice and a beef steak (in some delicious sauce and Parmesan). The Thai green curry had unbelievable depth of flavour - actually rivalling many Thai restaurants in my opinion. The beef steak. So flipping soft. HOW!? Simply blown away. I don't really know what else to say to be honest. So much love and care has gone into this food - you can really tell - I'm serious. If you find yourself walking by and are tempted - please give it a go. Their lasagne looked amazing too... I haven't even mentioned the price - dirt cheap considering the area and far superior.. Go! Go now!! Grazie Cafe Twelve.
