I like Nando‘s. On every London trip I enjoy the food at least once. Never had a dry or tough chicken. It’s juicy and flavourful. Like that I can choose the sauces from a wide range. The staff is really friendly and helpful. This time it was the Nando‘s at Westfield Stratford Shopping Centre. Thank you.

I would like to give a special thank you to Raphaël for the exceptional service he provided at Nando’s. As I don’t speak English very well, I felt a little lost when it came to choosing my meal. Raphaël took the time to explain everything to me with great patience, kindness, and always with a smile. He remained professional, attentive, and genuinely caring from start to finish. You can tell that he truly enjoys his job, and it’s become very rare to meet someone who is so dedicated and positive. His professionalism and cheerful attitude really stood out and made my visit to the restaurant even more enjoyable. A huge thank you to Raphaël for his positive energy and outstanding service. People like him truly make all the difference. I sincerely hope he receives the recognition he deserves, because he absolutely earned it!

The atmosphere was really nice and felt very high-class. The space is clean, well designed, and has a great overall vibe that makes it enjoyable to sit down and eat. The chicken sandwich was amazing — easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful, well cooked, and very satisfying. I would definitely come back just for that. The chips were okay, nothing particularly special but still decent. Unfortunately, the coleslaw wasn’t good at all. The taste and texture were off and it was honestly quite unpleasant. Hopefully that’s something they improve, because the rest of the experience was solid. Overall, great atmosphere and an excellent chicken sandwich. Just skip the coleslaw.

Had a really great time at All Star Lanes, Westfield! 🎳 We mainly played bowling and had so much fun. The food was good, and there are plenty of arcade games and activities to enjoy. The staff were very kind and friendly. A special thank you to Meron, who welcomed us warmly, helped us throughout our visit, and looked after us really well. We had a lovely experience and will definitely be back! ⭐️

Amazing experience in the heart of Stratford shopping centre. Bowling is affordable for London and drinks are fairly priced. Aside from that, customer service from Pavan (apologies is I spelt it wrong) was great. Funny and energetic team and vibes. Only downside is music is quite loud, but it kinda drowns out screams of excitement 😅

Fantastic bowling experience from start to finish! The venue was clean, modern, and well organized. The lanes were in excellent condition, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. The staff were friendly Pavan,Dana,Juliana and ilda are welcoming, and always happy to help. Food and drinks were great, and everything was served promptly. Whether you're visiting with friends, family, or colleagues, this is a perfect place for a fun day or evening out. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be coming back!

As a young person who moved to London completely on my own, away from everything and everyone I’d ever known, the last six months have been a huge period of learning how to navigate a new city and build a life for myself. I’ve been coming to All Star Lanes Stratford regularly, often three or four times a week, since I moved, and I can honestly say that it has become a real pillar of my new life here. Karaoke has been such a joyful and releasing part of my routine. Whether I’m popping in for a proper session or just have 20 minutes before a meeting and fancy a quick pick-me-up, being able to come in, put on my favourite songs and belt them out is genuinely one of the best ways I’ve found to reset during a busy and stressful period of my life. I always leave feeling lighter, happier and more energised. I especially want to thank Chris and Dana as well as Ilda, Julianna and Sheila for being so consistently lovely, welcoming and accommodating. There are also plenty of other members of the team whose names I unfortunately don’t know, but I really appreciate all of you. The little things have meant so much to me, the flexibility, the occasional discounts, the kindness and the way the staff have always been so accommodating. It might just be a karaoke booth to someone else, but for me it has become one of those places that makes a new city feel familiar. It’s given me so much joy over the last six months and has genuinely been one of the highlights of settling into London. Thank you to everyone at All Star Lanes Stratford for being so kind and for creating such a fun, welcoming place. I’m very grateful for all the lovely experiences I’ve had here, and I’ll definitely keep coming back. ❤️🎤

Ok, for sure my experience was not so good. We ordered a snack to wait for the main called “churrasco pork cracking” that only came because I ask when came the main, even if have the name churrasco for sure is just something that came ready from a bag. The main, I ordered the flat iron steak, there is a big difference between bbq flavor and burned, the meat just tasty like burn. The sirloin steak even if we ordered medium, came well done! So do not deserve your money. And they say that is a “Brazilian restaurant” just make me sad. Is definitely not Brazilian style.
Flávia Mól - 3 months ago

Great experience, From arrival, the restaurant felt welcoming and well run, with a trendy atmosphere that’s lively but comfortable. The food was excellent — full of flavour, well presented, and cooked to a high standard. Service was professional and attentive throughout. A special mention to Hishila, who was friendly, efficient, and made the visit even better. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely return and highly recommend Cabana Stratford.

Key things: 1, Portion sizes are poor for the cost. I had the beef tacos. They are very small indeed and are "filled" with what I can only describe as avocado paste. This is topped with a tiny amount of beef which is then hidden with chillis. The flavour profile is mainly avocado, with a little beef if you're lucky. 2, I wasn't given a menu. I just sat there until someone came over to take my order. As did the chaps on the table next to me. 3, There was no mention of a service charge, it was just put on the bill and a few minutes later a card reader was put in front of me. 4, my drink came after the food, even though it was only a bottle of coke. 5, the music is good (I dance Salsa) but a little too loud. 6, if you spend more than 20 seconds looking at the menu on the wall outside, someone appears behind you. It feels like a somewhat aggressive tactic. I really wanted tacos though, so I went in. 7, the fries are basic but the seasoning is ok. If the seasoning contains saffron, it's worth the money, otherwise, I'd say they're very overpriced for what they are. 8, I was asked if I have allergies which was good. I don't, but it's nice to be asked.

Food: Decent food but not for the price, very small portions. Originally glasses were very dirty, not cleaned well and there was a leaf in one of ours. Service: The manger seemed quite confrontational, a bit rude. Servers don't have any special attire so difficult to differentiate between them and regular customers. Our waitress was very kind. Atmosphere: Very nice restaurant.
Marissa Edwards - 2 months ago

I saw this restaurant in Westfield that had grill on it and I stopped to look at the menu. It looked very appetizing so I went in. My servers greeted me so nciket and so wonderful throughout. For food, I had a 10oz sirloin steak with a chipotle butter sauce as well as a chocolate fudge sundae. For drink, I had a Portuguese red wine. The food was absolutely amazing, definitely a recommendation for meat lovers. The wine was amazing as well and complimented the food perfectly. Next time I come to Westfield, I will very likely be coming back.

After an afternoon of shopping at Westfield Stratford, we decided to visit Wahaca and it was an excellent experience. 🇲🇽✨ The service was incredible; our waiter Paulo was always very friendly, attentive, and gave us some great recommendations. The atmosphere is cozy and has such a pleasant vibe, perfect for relaxing. If you love margaritas, you absolutely have to try them! My favorite was the Basil Mezcalina, with a delicious smoky mezcal touch, lime juice, and agave. I also loved the Coconut Margarita, made with coconut tequila, fresh coconut, and a coconut rim… simply delicious! 🥥🍹 The food was very tasty and, for a moment, it felt like taking a little trip to Mexico. 🇲🇽❤️ I would definitely recommend it for its excellent service, the quality of the food, and its spectacular margaritas. If you’re in Westfield Stratford, do yourself a favor and stop by Wahaca! 🥰

Enjoyed the strawberry and mint moctail too and excited to come again and try more .Thank you for a wonderful experience

My weekend visit to the Stratford branch with my niece was enjoyable. We had tacos and small plates. I had the’ pork pibil’ tacos which was very tasty, although it came as a small size portion. Also, the small plate (shrimp) was succulent but also came in a small portion. I have enjoyed ‘fast Mexican’ in the USA and there is no way these portion sizes would pass!! The upside was that the service was good, and décor & lighting quite soothing. My niece actually recommended the restaurant, so had no quibbles with the rations. I’ll probably try the burritos on my next visit!

Had a fantastic meal at Wahaca in Stratford. The atmosphere is really pleasant. It’s busy but not too loud, so you can still chat without shouting. Service was a bit slow, probably because it was very busy. We waited around 15 to 20 minutes, but our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive about allergies and menu questions. We started with the Blackberry Sour. It was fruity with a nice tart finish and paired really well with the rich flavours of the tacos, helping to cleanse the palate between bites. The Buttermilk Chicken Tacos were excellent. Crispy on the outside with tender, juicy chicken inside. The pickles and sauces added the perfect touch and balanced the richness of the fried chicken. The Baja Fish Tacos were one of my favourites. The fish was tender and flaky. The chipotle sauce had just the right amount of heat, and the radish added a fresh crunch that kept each bite light and bright. The Smoky Pork Belly Skewer was amazing. The tamarind sauce was tangy and sweet and went perfectly with the savoury pork. The pork itself had a great mix of textures with crispy bits alongside tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. For dessert, Tony’s 'Everything' Ice Cream Taco was heaven. A crispy cinnamon-sugar shell gives way to delicate vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, candied pecans, honeycomb, and a chocolate chunk. The textures and flavours were incredible. First the smell of cinnamon hits you, then each bite has a new combination of flavours and textures. Overall, the food was fantastic. The vibe is lively yet comfortable, and the drinks and dessert are worth making room for. Definitely a spot I will be coming back to.

Very flavourful lunch for vegan and non vegan options. We got the meal deal which included guacamole and chips, butter bean and garlic dip, 2 vegan tacos and a vegan taquito. Everything was fresh and full of flavour. They also have good kids options. Would definitely come back again

Thank you for a brilliant pizza party for my daughter’s 8th birthday. Monamie was a great host and made us feel really welcome. The restaurant is light and airy and we had plenty of space. The manager helped us out too. The children loved it (9 of them in total). Thanks very much

Exceptional service, visited with 2 neurodivergent children and the services was amazing! Special thanks for Hilario who looked after us so well. Didn't book and think we were lucky to get a table. Delicious food too - but as always with Pizza Express 🍕

Had the veggie fried rice and really enjoyed it. Full of flavour, cooked well, and not greasy at all. Portion was good and it came out nice and hot. Would happily order it again.
Aryan Patel - 5 months ago

I agree that the portions are generous, but there’s nothing particularly authentic about the food. The Vietnamese coffee was watery and lacked flavour. This rice bowl bears little resemblance to a traditional Vietnamese dish. I’ve tried the pho here before and came away with the same impression.
Tien Tran - 3 months ago

The beef brisket pho was good, only problem was the noodles at the bottom were still clumped at the bottom. The broth was very tasty. The chicken wings were very tasty and a great portion size. The wok fried noodles were also great and had a nice portions size, you would really taste the wok flavour and the chicken and prawns were very juicy and not dry
Alvin Vethanayagam - 4 months ago

I have never seen beef brisket like this in my entire life. At first i thought it was a dry bamboo shot but it wasn't. Please never cut beef brisket with the grain 🙄

I recently visited Pho, a restaurant known for its Vietnamese cuisine. They offer a wide variety of dishes, which is great, but I did notice that halal options are quite limited. However, after speaking with the staff, we found out that the chicken is halal and they were accommodating enough to prepare the broth using vegetable stock upon request. We decided to go with that option, and I have to say, the food didn’t disappoint. The broth was flavorful, light yet rich, and paired perfectly with the tender chicken and fresh herbs. It was a comforting and satisfying meal. While I do wish they had more halal choices on the menu, the staff’s willingness to adjust the dish to suit our needs was appreciated. If you’re looking for Vietnamese food in Stratford and require halal options, it’s worth having a quick chat with the team — they seem quite flexible. Would definitely go back to explore more of their menu!

We’ve eaten here multiple times here over the last few years and every time we’ve had a great experience with the food and service. The food is consistently delicious! Highly recommend if you’re at the mall.

Absolutely delicious Pad Thai with king prawns! 🍤 The noodles were perfectly cooked, packed with flavour, and the prawns were fresh, juicy, and generously portioned. A special mention to Abdul, whose customer service was outstanding. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Great food and excellent service—I’ll definitely be back!
Jesse Luo - 2 months ago

Tried out the place for the first time as it looked really nice. Ordered the same time as a friend and he was served within 5 mins and his order was much more than what I ordered. I waited for more than 10 minutes and saw people who ordered after me getting served with similar orders to my getting their food first. Can’t imagine I will be returning anytime soon.

Rosa’s is my go-to food spot—I come here at least twice a month. Service is quick, the food tastes fresh and well-made, and the place is always clean. It’s a reliable option when you want something fast but still satisfying.
Quorchi Bnacre - 5 months ago

Disappointed!! I travel quite frequently with work, and whenever I fancy a Thai, I always look for a Rosa's because I've never been let down. I've visited numerous locations across the country, so I had high expectations. I was slightly disappointed to find that this wasn't actually a restaurant but a food court outlet in Westfield Shopping Centre. However, I thought, it's Rosa's – the food will make up for it. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The buzzer rang, and I went to collect my food: chicken satay to start, followed by a chicken green curry with egg fried rice. I was also disappointed that the starter and main were served at the same time, which took away from the dining experience. The chicken satay was very dry, and the peanut sauce was quite bland. The egg fried rice was also dry and hard, and it didn't taste fresh at all—it felt like it had been sitting around for a while. The green curry itself was okay and full of flavour, but by that point I was already very disappointed with the overall meal. This is the first time a Rosa's has let me down, and sadly it wasn't the standard I've come to expect from the brand.

Service is a bit slow, but the food is always a treat! I haven’t yet tried anything I didn’t enjoy. The cheese sandwich is my go-to when I want something lighter or just need a quick snack. Plenty of space and a cosy atmosphere!
Daniela Drozd - 6 months ago

While the food was undeniably enjoyable, I wouldn’t rate the service a full five stars—mainly due to the increasingly common reliance on online or screen-based ordering. That said, the food itself was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken burger—well-seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right. The chips were a standout as well, with a delectable flavor, especially with the sauce generously drizzled on top. But the true highlight of the meal was the pistachio milkshake. Rich, creamy, and perfectly nutty—it stole the show and left a lasting impression. A delightful way to end a satisfying lunch.
Jamie Marie - a year ago

An all-too expensive fast food experience with poor service. We visited on a Saturday afternoon; there was plenty of seating available and we placed our order through the self-service kiosk. We waited for our food for more than 30 minutes, despite inquiring at the counter a couple of times, and being told it's coming. We only found out later that there was a problem and they couldn't find our order on the system. A member of staff had to take a photo of our e-receipt on our phone to get it ready. When we eventually got our food we did enjoy it, particularly the pistachio shake and the burgers. I wouldn't try the cheese sauce again though.

Great place to eat. Front of house is one of the best in the business! Would definitely go back. Slightly more expensive than other places close by but the food is very good. Would recommend the salmon salad to start as the size of it was very big for a starter. The cheese cake for dessert was definitely the best as I have tried them all! Plenty of different choices on the mains depending on what you fancy that day. Would recommend. On a Friday or Saturday there is normally live music you can listen too when eating which makes the experience better. Have to book in advance for Friday's and Saturday otherwise wait time is rather long.

Located on the corner of the casino floor in its own area which offers a break from the hustle. The layout is open with lots of booth style dining which is perfect for socialising. I've visited here a few times and whilst the service and presentation has got a lot better the food standard for the price sadly hasn't improved, it's just all very... average. I ordered the lamb rack which was very flavoursome however each lamb piece was a 1/3 fat. For a non member price of £30 (members £22.50) it is a bit steep. I'm not saying the price should be dropped here but the quality of ingredients should improve which would help attract more visitors.

Met my daughter for a birthday meal. We had a lovely Sunday roast. Good portions and fresh vegetables. Staff were polite and attentive. Will definitely dine there again. Many thanks for a memorable day!
Bob Harrison - 6 years ago

Service was acceptable, however the food was not up to standard. Pasta dishes are over cooked and tasteless so do not order that option as you'll just end up regret it, I had to end up sending back my food to the kitchen. Ended ordering fish and chip which you think you can't go wrong with however it did went wrong as the fish had bones in it which was shocking and disappointing as I noticed too late. If your in the casino and hungry your better off popping out to get something to eat elsewhere and food was really not enjoyable. P.s check your cutlery before you start to eat as you'll be surprised.

Really nice roast dinner, shame no roast potatoes though, this is my reason for 4 stars.The new potatoes were nice but I expect roast potatoes with my roast dinner. The meat was delicious & lovely desert too. Service was excellent.

I had a really lovely experience at Starbucks thanks to Aysha. Even when my coffee was made cold instead of hot, she immediately acknowledged it and happily remade it without any hesitation. She was so friendly, smiling the whole time, and even asked if I needed anything else. Her positive attitude and kindness honestly made my day better. Customer service like this truly makes a difference—thank you, Aysha!
