    Entrance near the train station
    Evan F.

    Ahhh, real London fish-n-chips...how I've missed thee! Came here with my wife and another couple on our holiday in London. Although the service was a bit abrupt, the food did not disappoint. As a table, we shared a few goodies to get us started, both a fried calamari and an order of onion rings. The calamari was cooked in rings similar in size to the onion rings! They were plump and had a very textured crunchy exterior, served with tartar sauce. The thick cut onion rings were piping hot and also super crunchy. For the fish-n-chips, each couple shared two different versions, one cod and one haddock. We liked each, the cod was thicker and meatier while the haddock probably tasted better but was thinner. Would come back here if in the area.

    Huge cod portion with tartar sauce and lots of chips. You could get rock fish or upgrade to haddock. Cute little restaurant located under the train bridge that has been around for awhile. Good service, clean bathrooms.

    One of my must haves being in London for the first time was to have fish and chips. This place did not disappoint! Small restaurant under the bridge not far from the train station. 3 of us ordered the cod fish and chips, and one ordered a grill fish (why do that?!). I read they leave the skin on the fish which wasn't issue for any of us. One bite into my fish and I was shimmying. It was excellent! The chips were really good too. Decent size portions. Prices were reasonable. Service was friendly and efficient. Our hop on/off bus tour guide even said this was the only place he would go in Waterloo for fish and chips! Highly recommend!

    I simply love it, real authentic Fish & Chips like it's supposed to be, no fancy touristic bullshit just plain and honest food. Well, bad luck that the card reader wasn't working when we've been here but normally it should. You come here for exactly that food "Fish & Chips" and that's the place to go. Restaurant is small and located under a bridge but that's exactly what we wanted visit ... Somehow Yelp still says you get a free drink here on check-in but the owner told me they quit working with Yelp like years ago ... he still wanted to grand me a free drink, I didn't take it though, don't want to rip businesses off when it's actually not a valid offer anymore.

    Amazing fresh fish!!! Can't say enough good things about this place. Had the haddock fish & chips. Delicious and the chips!!! Yum!!!

    I asked my friend from London if she could recommend a fish and chips spot and she said her friends rolled their eyes, but this was one of the spots they mentioned. We were planning to seek out a more traditional pub, but happened upon this one across from where we were doing a bike tour and felt like it was meant to be. They fried the fish, which is all locally sourced, upon order so it was hot and fresh. My son and I each ordered the cod and the portions were huge. We definitely could have split it if we ate all of the chips. Fresh tartar sauce, instead of the Heinz packet, would have topped it off nicely. Overall, it was a great place to check off the "English cuisine" box. The name alone deserves 5 stars (I was only disappointed that they weren't playing music from the Studio 54 era).

    Very simple but fresh and delicious cod and chips! Their curry sauce is so flavorful with a little kick. I would eat here again!

    We stopped here for a late lunch. We split haddock and cod and mushy peas. Everything was delicious. The mushy peas were my favorite. Great first experience!

    Joined my travel group friends for traditional fish and chips. Excellent service - very homey inside - greeted at the door and room for all of us to dine together! Highly recommend to experience traditional fish and chips. The cod fish was served hot and very tasty. I had the medium which came with a very large filet of cod fish and bowl of chips. One side note is I did notice they did not serve any alcoholic beverages but bottle beverages only.

    Fish n chips and a cheeseburger

    Accessible to station nice service and comfortable seating. Fish was wonderful ! Cheeseburger is not the meal to come here for will just make you want the fish

    We were in London and had to Fish & Chips. Found this place on Yelp. Short walk from The Eye. Upon entering, it felt like being part of a Guy Ritchie movie. It really felt like a local resto. Great service and food was good too! Would recommend to others looking for something close.

    The fish was good and the batter was nice. The service was not so much. I believe it's family ran but either way every time woman came in the men were all goggling over them and everyone in the restaurant knew it. I asked for plain water and was brought a bottle. Bad way to upscale the water. I sayed no thx, just tap and got a shrug. Also didn't like the rush to order. He asked three times before I had even read the whole menu. And then when he repeated the order I didn't realize what I had pointed and asked for was not read back. Again rushed..... not a fan

Best burger I've ever had? It's up there let me tell you (though that honour remains with Patty & Bun)! What I really liked about Five Guys was the way that burgers could be customised, and how while it looks like fast food (but isn't priced like fast food), each burger is made specifically for the person ordering it. And that burger comprises a truly succulent, tasty patty, an amazing bun, fantastic bacon (should you want bacon) and, grilled onions? Yes please again if you want them. Anyway, it all came together into a burger that honestly, WOW. The list of items you can add to your burger was probably 15 or 16 long, the combinations must be immense! And that was accompanied by fries that I would say are the best fries I've ever had. And the nice touch on the wall where they tell you where the potatoes come from was not lost on me. Five Guys. Amazing!

Quite happily, I'm proud to say it's the former. Bombay Burrito is pretty close to what you imagine an Indian burrito to be. Curry, chutneys, chickpeas, salad, chilli (proper spicy chilli) and delicious spices. Each day they have rotating specials meaning the menu is small, but there should always be something new or in rotation. The staff, were great. Very friendly, and packed our burritos to the brim. We were here with a groupon, but that didn't matter, I challenged that one of our burritos couldn't be folded, and was absolutely impressed when it turned out I was clearly wrong. Additionally, we were allowed to pick any beer from the selection. I was surprised at the range of quite interesting craft beers I hadn't seen anywhere else. The 8% one was a refreshing surprise and turned me red (asian glow) within 5 minutes. Whilst there we also scavenged some poppadum crisps from a table that hadn't finished and were friendly enough to pass them our way (I say pass, but really I meant: we asked and took :D). The staff noticed and were kind enough to offer us some additional chutneys to use as dip. Now that's lovely human service. So in all, Indian burritos all things being fair, should take off in a big way. I'm not sure if Bombay Burrito is the chain to do it, but I really hope they do. The combination of great food, drink is a hit. It just needs the marketing drive and the hipsters to support it to really take off.

    Tortilla does good burritos...I have to say. And lemme tell you, I'm a spoilt brat, having lived in…read moreSan Francisco, a burrito-mecca, for quite a while! I've had my first Tortilla-burrito at Yelp event a while back and chatting with the owner, I found out that he's actually from San Francisco - which probably explains why I like their burritos. And since the event, I've kind of made Tortilla my default-Mexican food stop when my craving gets too strong. My tip: when you get a steak or pork burrito - ask them to NOT squeeze out the juice. I find that a juicy (well-lubricated) burrito is much tastier. Also, do invest in extra-guacamole, as this will uplift the flavour tremendously. (They are a little stingy on the guacamole though.)

After popping in and waiting for 7 minutes in the line, I finally got to ask the lady at the counter if they actually make some real California burritos, like you know, with French fries instead of rice. Which was met with the most puzzled stare...anyways, I ended up ordering a classic burrito which was ok, but still feeling like I got tricked into this. Now, does anyone know an authentic Mexican joint whuch do California burritos?
