Food Quality

• "The only down side is the noise. It is super noisy, to the point where it’s not possible to hold a conversation whilst sharing a meal."
• "Not the kind of restaurant you come for a relaxing sit down for many hours, but the kind that you eat and leave as soon as you're done because there's so many people waiting outside to get in."

Value

Cons:

• "We ended up spending a great fortune on this unsatisfactory meal."
• "Price was on the higher side, and there is no kids menu."
• "The chilli crab is amazing but very expensive for what it is."
• "Food though is average for London prices."
