The food was really good, and was steaming hot when it arrived with me. There's a lot of choice, and they have some options that not many other takeaways offer, which made a nice change. I don't think I'd order Chinese from another place after trying this one.

Been here numerous times and always a great experience. Is a good local restaurant with an asian…read morefusion menu. They have a bar in front if you want to get drinks beforehand. They also have some tables in the bar area where you can also order appetizers. The restaurant has a mix of tables and booths and a private dining room downstairs if you want to throw an intimate dinner party (have been to one before downstairs). Innovative list of cocktails as well. It can be either an expensive or fairly reasonably priced evening depending on what you get. Some recommendations: *The veggie pad-thai- Is really flavorsome and comes with crushed peanuts & chillis. (also a reasonable price). *Roast pumpkin & spinach gyoza- Interesting take on gyoza- love the flavours! *Egg fried rice- Fresh egg and is not greasy *Xo sorbets trio- A great ending to the meal with an assortment of sorbet fruit flavours Stay Away From: * The chilli crusted tofu- Is incredibly dry. This is really unfortunate as could be a great dish but have ordered it on two different occasions and have been let down twice. They need to add some sort of sauce to this to make it more palatable. *Pomegranate spring-rolls: This sounded good but it was served cold and was soggy. Flavours also did not mix. Service is really attentive & friendly. Can get busy on Friday nights & weekends so always good to book on opentable beforehand. Would recommend!

XO's really knows how to take care of their guests! I went to a private party here and when I…read morewalked in the door they took my coat and walked me to a tray of champagne and cocktails and offered me a tantalizing adult beverage immediately! After rounds of canapes served on trays (Note to self: eating sushimi must be done in one bite or you end up wearing some of it) we retired from the bar area to the restaurant in the back. Appetisers of wonton dumplings, tempura, and assorted sushi combinations seemed to keep coming and still we were served a lovely Asian salad, and still more rounds of large pieces of fish which we shared among 6 at our table. Since the hostess had selected the menu, I didn't ask what was being served, and to my discredit, I didn't read the small printed menu of the evening at the table (great conversation and copious amounts of cocktails). However, there was a type of white fish that had a sort of caramelization that was to die for! The ambience, food and service were superb! The only thing keeping my rating from going all the way to Woohoo is that it was my first time there and not the typical restaurant experience (reso/my order). I'll go back and give them another go, though! The area is also lovely!

Situated inside the Marriott Hotel Waltham Abbey, this restaurant is where breakfast, lunch and…read moredinner is served. For hotel guests there are a range of breakfast options from continental to low fat to full English unlimited buffet etc. Needless to say, I always take the unlimited! Dinner had a good range of options- I usually take one of the grilled steaks, and the food is usually very good here. Dining is in an ambient large room with an open kitchen. Service unfortunately can be hit and miss though, as it can get quite busy as this is the only place to eat around here.

If you're in a hurry, they accommodate you and make sure they handle everything efficiently, such as bringing out the check and getting it done. I had to wait a minute or two for my table but they turn everything around quickly and got me in. The menu is extensive and they have a lot of appealing choices. The prices are a bit expensive but it's 1) London and 2) in an airport. I chose the burrito bowl and they handled my customization well (no sour cream). It was busy but that didn't hurt the service at all. And they were so polite! I definitely made a lap (possibly two) around the food options in this area and decided on Giraffe, and it was the right choice.

We had the fesenjoon, which was flavorful with tender meat and the koobideh kabob which was quite juicy and tasty. The bread and yogurt dips before the meal were also very good. The prices are a little high but nothing crazy and the portion sizes are generous. The outdoor seating would be very charming on a warm evening, and they also have free delivery for those times you don't want to go out. We'll certainly be back.

They advertise that they always have this in their last half hour of opening. However, on the website, it says they are open until 11pm, so go figure?! Anyway, I got a bargain on my healthy, delicious and filling meal of tuna, rice, edamame bean, pea, leek and ginger with a teriyaki sauce. Even at full price, it's comparable or better than other cafes, restaurants, M&S etc, so I will most likely be returning. They specialise in Japanese-style food, but also have some other salads/meals, snacks, frozen yoghurt, puddings, smoothies and drinks - all healthy. Oh, and the packaging is all recyclable...brownie points!

We started with latkes which were excellent - and surprisingly thick. A unique take on a classic and they were delicious. The pancake portion was very fluffy and it was only lightly fried which was very much appreciated. I then got the reuben and my wife got lox and bagel. The reuben was surprisingly filing given its size and superbly tasty. But I will say it was quite pricey - £12 for a sandwich is a lot. Perhaps just worth it on occasion, but pricey for a reuben. The lox and bagel was good, nothing all that special but exactly what you think and hope it'll be.
