Top 30 Best East london dining in London

“What a wonderful experience. Every dish was so flavoursome & had fresh ingredients. The staff was so attentive & welcoming- great service, lovely ambience & we will definitely be back. Lil upset no mango stickrice but overall great experience.”

“Cosy and yet vibrant. The menu is reassuringly familiar but with several twists. Service is genuine and of quality. Live music - I had a sense of dread but proven unnecessary since it only added to the whole evenings experience. A gem of East Sheen”

“The tasting menu was an incredible experience, the food was so interesting and fresh from their garden. We came on a Sunday and the roasts were fantastic. We will really well looked after by faith, thank you! Wine pairing really well done also.”

“Great choice for takeaway, but we decided to have a sit in meal in this small and cosy establishment. Wonderfully fun ladies cooking and serving us. And the food was delicious and authentic. My friend's beef Pad Thai was a little chewy, but my beef Masamam was excellent and succulent. They just need to bump up the 3 star hygiene rating to draw in more punters.”

“Just passing, looked a good place so we went in. Not disappointed in any way. The staff were all attentive and we were soon seated and a drinks order taken. We shared a spring role starter ,there were 6 and it came with a tamarind sauce, nice presented on a leaf ... not the best but good enough. The mains were pad-thai I had prawns and the Royal version, wrapped in a omelette. Very nice, great taste and good spice levels. Drinks were not very cheap ,but that's Central London. Yes would go back.”

“Good atmosphere for Sunday evening, our recent experience at Okan Ramen on Coldharbour Lane was the best so far, and its certainly one of Brixton’s culinary assets from a Locals perspective. Its a great place to eat whether dining solo, in a group or pair, and the foods reasonably priced in my view. The ramen was perfectly balanced in flavour, and I definitely recommend the classic ‘Hokkaido Miso Ramen with Chasu Pork’. The others enjoyed their vegan ramens. Its worth getting the japanese tapas as well, which are served quickly before, go for any of the ‘Gyoza Dumplings’ alongside the delicious ‘Padron Peppers’. The drinks were decent, I had couple glasses of white white, enjoyed the Grand Cerdo Blanco (ABV 12.5%), the others were drinking the beer on tap. I was also glad to see the original decor has remained in place. I have always liked the restaurant interior here, with its rudimentary no-thrills presentation contrasted by the classic wooden partition and weathered concrete floor. That mixed with the charming retro japanese memorabilia gracing its walls and the intimate setting makes it worth the visit alone. Not forgetting the refreshingly good service, which can be rare to find in most restaurants. The japanese waitress was really nice and helpful, it made the dining experience super pleasant. The chef also brought out the dishes, which were all decently presented and flavoursome.”

“Best ramen I have had in a while! Managed to amend my ramen slightly for a different broth. The plain ramen was a bit disappointing and needed a lot of extras to make it tasty but the chili pulled chicken was on point, would recommend!”

“We had an absolutely excellent tasting menu and superb and very friendly service today which was universally praised by the whole family. If they get any better once fully opened and with a full menu available this is going to be an exceptional restaurant and superb addition to the manor. Highly recommended!”

“What a hidden treasure. We live around here but this is our first time visiting. I just had what might be the best quiche I've ever had. It just melts in your mouth and makes feel at home. The salad was fresh and perfectly seasoned and salted. Can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu.”

“Very lovely staff, dog friendly and a nice atmosphere. Emma was serving us, the pub was completely booked up/ reserved however she made room for us by pushing tables together which we all appreciated for us to have afternoon lunch together.”

“The hotel is really beautiful. The front desk is very helpful and professional. I will share with you one of the examples which reflect the professionalism of the reception. I asked for a taxi from my hotel to the airport through the reception and when the taxi arrived asking about me, the reception start asking different questions to the driver to assure that the taxi is not fake which I really like it from the hotel reception. Going to the hotel room: The size of the bed is enough for two adults and the bed is comfortable. The room size is good compared with other London hotel as most of London hotels room are small. The location of the hotel is in a new area and little bit far away from the most attractive area (30-40 minutes by underground metro) however the underground metro is just 5-10 minutes walking distance. The hotel area is safe, the hotel is just two minutes away from Westfield mall which has a big supermarket and many restaurants and shops. I really enjoyed in this hotel.”

“The hotel was great and very convenient. Relatively new and that shows. Everything in perfect condition. Nice size appartement which was easily kept at a nice temperature. The biggest plus was the great staff at the reception . They were so friendly and helpful. That made the real difference.”

“I love coming here with my family, as it brings back nostalgic memories of living around here. Lovely rooms and staff who will always welcome us. I would love to thank the kind gentleman who helped me with my heavy suitcases aswell. Lovely place to take family and kids as the noise level is always low so you don't have to worry about getting your sleep in.”

“Favourite pizza chain! Love the sourdough base and that they have a very good white pizza on the menu! I feel that the size has shrunk or that there are fewer toppings but the pizzas are still good value for quality. Came here a few times for dine in and take away. One time they accidentally gave me someone else’s order. I didn’t realise until I got home. Got a call from the manager to apologise and help us sort out everything. Great customer service!”

“Restaurant hidden away next to a asian wholesaler. Restaurant is very spacious and we did not book just walked in as plenty space available. The service from the staff is 5* very professional team. Food was amazing and came hot. Free ample car parking on site in a secure car park.”

“Meat Liquor. Amazing. Took my girlfriend for the first time to this spot. And even she was WOWed! The service was just as good as the food too. It was my birthday and everyone at Meat Liquor acknowledged it was. He looked after us and gave us too which was very endearing. We will be back 10/10.”

“I'm live reviewing this. Almost finished my lamb shwarma wrap. It's one of the best things I've ever had. So spicy. So flavourful. The tanoor is perfection. I can die happy.”

“Great food and giant portions for the price. We ordered based on typical portion sizes and ended up with way too much. Very tasty so made us sad to not finish. We had the cold beef, Biang Biang noodles with beef, pork belly soup, hot and sour soup, and pork dumplings. The pork dumplings were mediocre, the rest very tasty and authentic. I see plenty of notes here on slow service and they were more Chinese style service, wave to them politely and they come service immediately. No floating around your table and constantly bugging you if it’s good. They wait for you to call them. Would recommend and return (with a bigger appetite)”

“Great local pub with good selection of beers. Bangers and mash was delicious and very well priced. Will be back.”

“Great place, do a gluten free pilsner. Been twice in the last 2 weeks. Would recommend. The Olives are perfect here as well!”

“Seriously damn good coffee, and they have water for dogs. New favourite!”

“I had a great stay in Montcalm East during a business trip for a week. The hotel has quite a unique touch and at the price point the amenities can't be beat. The rooms are well planned, reasonably sized and the bathrooms are well appointed including the heated flooring. The hot/ cold breakfasts are so much better than the traditional American breakfast that is seen in the hotel chains. Location wise, this place is quite central to all the tourist spots that someone may want to hit.”

“This has easily become my new favourite place to stay in London. The rooms are spacious and comfortable (and actually look exactly like on the website)! When checking in I got a kind upgrade to a corner room and let me tell you, that made the stay 100% better — at night, the skyline gave total New York vibes & at sunset, the golden sun rays filled the room (check picture Nº 8 for proof, haha)! The staff are super friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and overall, the stay was really really great value for money! 100% recommended ♥️ Can’t wait to be back!”

“Haven’t been here for a while. And I can say it’s definitely been worth the wait drinks and food was amazing. We was served by Biggie who recommended the drinks to us. Was very helpful as he asked us what we like and don’t like to give us the best options on the menu. Will definitely be returning to try the other stuff on the menu. Thank you Biggie for the lovely service today :)”

“Let's go straight to the point: the pizza is amazing. But I'm not talking about any pizza, I'm talking about the Four Cheese Truffle pizza. It's out of this world, it really blew my mind. I also ordered some Calabrian Chilli potatoes to start and finished with their Tiramissu, which I must say, was much, much better than my highest expectations, I loved it. Great place for groups, lunch time is more quiet but night time gets pretty noisy.I'd make a reservation for dinner, including weekdays, but surely on weekends.Totally recommend this place, great environment, great food.”

“If you're on the fence about visiting Ayannas, get off it. You'll walk into an intimate space reminiscent of my now 2nd favourite London restaurant: Sparrow. Ayannas takes the top spot from the quality of this focused menu to the well-balanced cocktails and overall presentation. Flawless guest service, food, and drink. It was a quiet night - we were the first guests to arrive for dinner at 7pm - and the owner took this as an opportunity to get us checked in at a comfortable pace. She was even gracious enough to push back our booking time as we were having delays in transit. We enjoyed the boneless curry goat and braised oxtail with rice & peas, alongside freshly made coleslaw and a rich mac & cheese. Very satisfying meal, both in terms of portion size and taste. We didn't have room for dessert but will definitely return to try the chocolate and rum cakes. All in all, Ayannas menu is a true love letter to Jamaican cuisine - highly recommend.”

“A hidden gem, wow glad I found this place, food was excellent and tasted fresh. This is definitely going on my top 10 list of restaurants. The chef was a very nice guy and he came and introduced him self and explained some of the dishes. Great Saturday evening meal, feel well satisfied. Look my dish demolished.”

“Felt home after a really long time. Ordered 2 meals with my friend and every dish was tasty and filled with flavour. Felt transported back to being in Chennai. The people who worked also were hospitable and friendly and kept asking us if we wanted anything else. Ended the meal with filter coffee which was again a 10/10”

“Authentic Chinese food. It’s a less expensive Chinese restaurant compared with others in Chinatown. All staff here are very nice and helpful! Really suitable for people eating together.”
