Mildreds Kings Cross Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The buns are to die for, served hot and fresh, bursting with zingy, spicy flavour."
• "Loved the potatoes and tofu scramble too!"
• "The food was generally great quality - you get what you pay for here."
• "Creative vegan dishes."
• "The tofu and plantain were delicious."
• "The flavours were unreal, every single dish was beautifully prepared, absolutely delicious."
• "The food was delicious, not just what I ordered but all the plates and cocktails around us looked delicious!!"

Cons:

• "I love Mildred’s, although I’ve found the food to be a bit more hit or miss recently."
• "The creme brulee was ok, it was creamy and came with cookie crumbles and raspberry jam on the side but it was missing the crunchy crust that creme brulee is known for."
• "Every main we had were very average, tasteless even."
• "However, the kimchi rice was unfortunately a bit bland and the patatatas bravas were not crispy."
• "All of the dishes tasted like toned-down, blander versions of what you know they are."
• "The mains we ordered we found to be a bit bland and simple, quite expensive for some vegetables and rice so probably would just stick to the small plates next time."
• "Just a bit stingy with the Chickn! For £14, I’d expect something a little more generous."

Service

• "Staff friendly and helpful with allergy info."

Cons:

• "The atmosphere in the restaurant was not the best."
• "We were 4 of us and my wife ordered an appetizer and the rest of us didn't. She (unfortunately) received the appetizer when the rest of us received our meals."
• "A few errors with orders for us and adjacent tables but staff were apologetic and quick to rectify mistakes."
• "Service could be better, I feel like a gentleman who looked like the manager or owner was more responsive than the server who was attending my table."
• "Service was a bit hit and miss, hence the four."
• "Service a little odd when we visited as main course came out so fast that we hadn't even got our drinks yet, ended up cancelling our olives."
• "No one apologized and no amount was taken off of our bill. Not returning."

Ambiance

Pros:

• "Service with an absolute smile, warm and vibrant atmosphere, great location (close to the station)."
• "Mildreds has that big-city bustle wrapped in charm, beauty, and enough class to make it beautiful and warm and not snobby."

• "Conveniently close to KGX, has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and entirely is entirely plant-based!"
• "Ambiance was beautiful and vibrant."

Cons:

• "The once spacious, tranquil King’s Cross branch has had extra tables shoe-horned in, so it now feels cramped and can be very noisy."
• "It felt very crowded & was very noisy."
• "Amazing food but for the prices charged I was not impressed with the seating."
• "The tables are quite tight together."
• "Decoration was also nothing special and music was a bit loud, gives the place a little bit of a fast food spot which is shame."
• "The restaurant is really small and really packed, so do be prepared for being able to hear everyone’s conversations."
• "More tables have been added since my last time so, instead of the previously relaxed atmosphere, it felt very crowded & was very noisy."

Value

Pros:

• "The food was generally great quality - you get what you pay for here."
• "Price was ok."

• "Reasonable prices for London."
• "It is incredibly good value for money and they have several locations in London."
• "The prices are not the cheapest but every penny is worth it."
• "Reasonable prices."

Cons:

• "In total spend about £18 and still felt hungry which was annoying."
• "They do not get cash.. only credit card which is not convenient for tourists."
• "I liked the non alcoholic coconut drink but at £9.5 it felt a bit overpriced as it was coconut milk, lime and agave… the desserts were cheaper!"
• "Just a bit stingy with the Chickn! For £14, I’d expect something a little more generous."
• "We tried the new summer dish for £19,90 and we were really surprised when we received the dish: raw courgette slices, cold caponata, very little vegan ‘nduja, some ailoli, some fennel salad non tasty, and 4 mini slices of bread."
• "Won’t be having their coffee again, not just because their latte is effectively a cappuccino, it wasn’t my taste."
• "You can cannot have such a sized restaurant completely rammed with tables."
