The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in St James's City of London, Westminster London

After really looking forward to going for the ‘Chaat Your Heart Out’ option at a (what I thought) great price of £14 for unlimited chaat, it proved to be so disappointing. There was a small table set up for us to help ourselves in making up the chaats ourselves There were limited choices so basically you were only able to make limited chaats. NOT what the menu promised. There were 2 options whereby the restaurant made the hot chaats one was samosa chaat the other was tangy tomato which could have passed as a masala. The chaat option came with masala tea. We were not offered this at any time, and when I questioned this once we had the bill, I was told it was up to us to ask for it and the full amount was still due To be honest we didn’t have a chance to ask as no one came over. I have been to this branch before a few years ago and was underwhelmed then but thought I would give it another chance…what a mistake. Wish I had taken pictures just to show what a bad spread was on offer

Whilst I was apprehensive of the recommendation by the cleaner at the Premier Inn, I ended up giving her a tip as I LOVED IT!!!!!

I am a loyal pret costumer who’s had a subscription for a while now. It is not the first time I’ve had issues in this particular shop. I went to get a tea with a friend today - she got a hot chocolate, I got a peppermint tea. The store was very full and we were as close as we could be to the till. As soon as I heard them say peppermint tea I went to get my tea, but another girl got it before I could get to it. I waited for 3 more minutes and asked about my tea, to which I got the response: “I’ve already sent out a peppermint tea and I’m not making you another one”, I explained that someone else took the tea and she said “that’s not my problem”. My friend and I insisted on getting the tea I paid for and they refused time and time again. We were speaking calmly and they were being very rude - I get it’s stressful working in a coffee shop but at the same time I don’t think it’s fair that I paid for a tea and didn’t get it. We asked to speak to the manager - the manager came, said we were being rude to her team, and that she has no problem banning us from the shop, and if I didn’t get my tea that’s my issue, I should have ran and got it before the other girl. I was trying to explain the situation to her, and tell her that I had no way of knowing that that was my tea and not the other girls tea, and I couldn’t have just stopped the other girl from getting it, but she simply wasn’t letting me speak. She then said she would make me the tea if I left and didn’t return to that store again. She then added that she’s banned 4 people from the store only today for the same issue. Again, I understand it’s stressful working in a coffee shop - been there myself. But I don’t think it’s fair to punish paying costumers for people who are stealing drinks that aren’t theirs. I had proof I paid for the tea and didn’t get it and they weren’t interested in hearing what I had to say.

Este lugar tiene un servicio fantástico, la chica conociendo y saludando a todos / tomando órdenes de los que están en las mesas fue una delicia. Los pasteles no son baratos pero valen cada centavo. Quería té Assam o algo parecido, pero se conformó con el té del desayuno inglés. Los asientos están limitados a 2 mesas pequeñas en el exterior, y 2 mesas en el interior, pero los asientos son un poco incómodos. La verdad, no era cómodo / adecuado para mí, ya que tengo un problema de espalda, pero los asientos no me detendrán a volver para el apelmazado y súper servicio.

The food was fine and the staff, although undermanned, were attentive and pleasant. The upstairs dining area is quiet and suitable for normal volume of conversation.

Shocked by the dirty looks and attitude by who i assume was the manager. I took an almost finished outside drink in after a long train journey (i was meeting friends in there). I was VERY rudely told to leave and drink it outside, which would not have been a problem if i had been asked politely as i understand it is policy. When i went outside to finish the drink the manager was giving my friends very dirty looks. Terrible service, disappointed as we were ready to spend a day of drinking there!

Nice and welcoming atmosphere, food is quite nice and always fresh and tasty.

Choix variés pour déjeuner avec des enfants Rapport qualité prix très correct Il faut commander et payer avant . Le service est fait à table, personnel aimable Très bien

Is a perfect place to enjoy with your friends or partner. Beautiful decorating

Second visit, this time without the booking but service as always was great. Awesome cocktails, atmosphere and music 👌🏻

El servicio es rápido y amable, pero he notado un aumento en los precios que no coincide con una mejora en la calidad de la comida. Necesitan recuperar la mejor calidad cuando empezaron.

La ubicación de la cafetería y las opciones de comida son agradables. También hay una muy buena gama de opciones infantiles y vegetarianas. El problema es el personal. El personal estaba haciendo que los clientes hicieran pedidos y cortésmente les pidieran que despejaran las mesas totalmente amontonadas con vajilla usada, etc. sintieran como si estuvieran siendo exigentes y pidiendo demasiado. Nos arruinó la experiencia y me hace renuente a regresar. Para ser honesto, estaba tan ocupado y, sin embargo, los dos miembros del personal se quejaron de que no tenían suficiente personal, por lo que los clientes deben esperar a ser atendidos. Solo éramos dos los que necesitábamos servicio y los pedidos eran pequeños, así que no sé cuáles eran los problemas, pero la actitud del personal era mala. La mitad de mi pedido también fue olvidado sin disculpas y me dieron el recibo de otra persona. También vi a un miembro del personal acercarse a algunos jóvenes que acababan de llegar y decirles que las mesas eran para pagar solo a los clientes, lo que parecía agresivo cuando acababan de llegar. Los clientes parecían confundidos / incómodos y luego fueron e hicieron un pedido grande. Los cubiertos también estaban sucios y el personal debe haber sido capaz de ver esto claramente cuando lo trajeron de vuelta del lavavajillas como si pudiera ver la comida apelmazada en él entonces deben haberlo visto. Se dejó fuera para que los clientes lo usaran. Waterstones realmente necesita arreglar este café.

The most amazing sausage rolls and brownies. The management and staff are delight to speak with :) Very nice to be receiving biscuits during my shift working next door to them :) Defo be back for more of those sausage rolls :) Regards, Indigo Hotel Rosie

Great coffee and lovely staff. However, since becoming dog friendly the relaxation element I associate with going for coffee has declined rapidly. I now have to contend with dogs whining, barking and growling and on a regular basis. Can owners at least be made aware of a duty to keep dogs under control? Perhaps a notice can be displayed somewhere?

A pesar de ser parte de una cadena de restaurantes turcos, la elección es más como un café inglés con pasteles, rosquillas y sándwiches. Estos son solo algunos asientos a lo largo de las paredes, pero no hay asientos en la mesa. La comida es lo suficientemente buena, pero este no es un lugar para celebrar un clelbration.
