The best restaurants in Hackney London

This is a go to cafe and for once feels worth the money!! They had so many options on the menu - I went for a southern style breakfast and lemonade with mint and was very impressed! Generous portions (the lemonade comes with its own small jug so you get at least a few refills out of it) Lovely fresh produce it was an absolute banquet with a selection of jams and delicious bread. We also had excellent service from Jessie who was extremely patient and lovely to our group of 6! Also seems to be a very popular spot for people to do work on their laptops

Great place, food was good and the service was friendly.

Great pub. Friendly staff and good music.

What a great restaurant! We came here for our son's birthday and had a delicious dinner - the lamb was tender; my husband had a fish dish, which was delectable and the Peshwari nan was nutty, coconutty and fruity. Our meals were served by extremely pleasant, attentive staff. I will definitely be eating here again!

Notting Hill lacks in grown- up, cool places where one can set an informal business meeting, meet a friend for coffee (out of the ghastly coffee chains that are around) , or have a great cocktail with your partner before heading to a restaurant. This hotel lounge and bar could be all this… but despite opening only a few weeks ago, It was 3/4 empty at 7.30pm yesterday. There is too much harsh lighting; not enough sofas, too many high tables. Despite an interesting attempt to evoke the Caribbean origins of post- war Notting Hill, and its famous carnival, design overall feels artificial, because of some details that are truly bad. Mainly these are the “fake distress” aspect of too much of the furniture which drags the whole into cheap artificiality. If you do distress, do it with real, beautiful distressed old stuff - there are lots to find in galleries, flee markets etc but the cheap chemically done items are a no if one wants to create ‘ an atmosphere’.It is baffling to see that with probably the big budgets such hotel “brands” have, they don’t get it right despite good intentions. Bottom line this huge space lounge and bar looks like a lost opportunity for the place to bring in Notting Hillers who would help making this place a nice hub. This would probably delight the hotel guests and makes it a real destination hotel. But perhaps it is not too late for them to fine tune it- so that the neighbourhood does not have to cope with a huge slightly desolate and bright non place!

The cocktails and service were amazing however, the lack of dishes on the menu were disappointing.

I ate a istanbul special it was a very tasty food.i felt like I was in Turkey. A very big thank you to the chef making such tasty food.

The places is dirty, it looks like they haven’t cleaned the tables or swept the floor all day!

Tasty food and pleasant delivery - fine thanks!

It was just half an hour before this cafe closed and it was a cosy and very friendly atmosphere .Very fresh pastries and hot chocolate were amazing. Thank you 😊 I will be back soon

Great service especially by Akhi who was very warm and welcoming!

Cosy pub. Service is a bit slow and the place sometimes smells of sewage which is quite unpleasant

Really special Italian place in London! The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was adorable, and the food was really great. The polenta chips in particular as well as the bucatini gorgonzola were so nice, and I loved the desserts too! Couldn’t recommend this place more.

I recently stayed at the Premier Inn in Hackney and had a mixed experience. The hotel itself is nice, and the room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, which made for a relaxing stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which really added to the positive experience. However, one issue I encountered was the unpleasant smell in the corridors and the lift. It was noticeable throughout my stay and detracted from what would otherwise have been a great experience. Despite this, the team was excellent, and I hope they address this issue soon. With a little improvement, it could be an even better place to stay!

Fatima was really unprofessional. Her passive aggressive attitude isn’t a good look for this restaurant. I come here regularly with my boyfriend & his family. The other manager (European tall lady) is lovely I’m not sure what her name is. Disappointing service today. I also heard her talking about us to her colleague?? Made me feel very uncomfortable. She was also shouting at her staff. This needs to be looked into
