Once inside, you'll notice the music and vibe is much younger and club like. It's crowded and loud but not unbearable. I'll be honest, the place is fun but two of the food stalls were mediocre at best. Don't get the halloumi fries and don't get the loaded nachos. Do get the buffalo wings. I also really enjoyed the gin bar. There's an upstairs area with more seating and bars but you can choose to hang out downstairs and eat on top of an oil drum. For an outdoor space, the staff really keeps it clean. They're constantly picking up garbage and mopping up spills. You can even order via your mobile device and a waitress will bring your drinks to the designated area. This is a great after hour watering hole and I can definitely see a good time with a bunch of friends.

They provided a decent portion and I definitely left satisfied. It was nice to walk around the different areas of Dinerama and I was able to find a spot that wasn't as busy as everywhere else.

For any one of my friends traveling into London I always recommend veering off a little to Carnaby. Over the years some shops have come and go but some of my favorites remain open. I'm a huge Great Frog lover and their shop is nearby, also for us rock n rollers I can't help stopping into The Rolling Stones Uk store. Lots of major branded stores but also cute local vendors and stores. It's a very walkable street and safe. Plenty busy so come earlier in the day to beat the crowds. Another pro tip is catching a reservation at dishshoom down here as I've found it easier to snag a reservation here than at their other locations. Plenty of dining options though and local stalls like Starbucks and Joe & the juice. It's a touristy street of shops but I love it - definitely bookmark this area on your must shop / see list when on this side of town.

Big outdoor drinking spot with a chill(ish) upstairs and a livelier downstairs with music and food. Upon arriving the bouncers were nice, I found my friends, ordered a drink, no problem. Drink was just okay, but I was enthralled with the service when a worker accidentally knocked over the last 5% of my friend's aperol spritz and without us even complaining, brought over two pitchers for free! Talk about good service! A girl did projectile vomit close to us and we saw several other extremely intoxicated patrons, but I don't blame the venue. However, my friend and I went downstairs to use the toilet and it was in a horrific state of disarray. In shock, we both agreed we would rather use a local coffee shop's toilet and come back. We were told we could not re-enter despite being basically sober and our friends being inside. I was told that "they didn't know what we were doing" outside of the venue...even though I was being honest, what does it matter? Sad because this would have been an easy five star otherwise.

Also available is communal seating which some have power ports if your device needs some. I found Market Halls to be clean and comfortable. We ended up eating at DF tacos and also enjoyed a pint from a place on the same level (blanking on the name). The service was great as there were employees going through the communal area picking up service items and cleaning tables. I quite enjoyed the experience here and would return again.

The smash burger took absolutely ages! Man very sweet & brought it over to us. The steak & frites with pepper sauce was great. But dipped the duck fat chips in that sauce & was in food heaven.

The Market is picturesque with lovely flower carts by the entrances. Historically, Covent Gardens were the gardens for the convent. Today, the beautiful enclosed market hosts various vendors that change regularly. The market is a great way to connect with locals. We went to the market four times during our visit. On Sundays, various art vendors set up and we visited with a local fossil dealer and purchased a couple fossils. We loved our dinner in one of the nearby cafes. On Mondays, antique dealers set up and sell various treasures. My husband bought me a vintage bracelet. We also watched a quintet play in the atrium. We found a few reasonably priced souvenirs to take home for gifts. Plenty of great restaurants surround the Market. We ate at several places and enjoyed our meals. The Market always seems to be new and people were friendly.

This was our first food hall experience out here in London, so I really didn't know what to expect. Arcade's dining system is definitely something we weren't really accustomed to, but honestly it worked out pretty well despite its first impression as being chaotic. Being able to see every vendor's menu from your phone was very convenient instead of having to walk around, but walking around wouldn't be a practical option anyway as the whole place is pretty small and densely packed. Anyway, we ordered shawarma fries and Nepali chili dumplings. The fries were honestly really good, though the portions were pretty small. The dumplings were hefty and also good too, but not great in terms of value. Not sure how "authentic" Tipan Tapan is when it comes to Nepali food, but hey, at least I can say I've had Nepali food before at least once. Speaking of good/bad, the selection here is pretty underwhelming. My wife and I weren't exactly impressed by all the offerings the vendors had to offer which is ironic considering how many vendors there are. Service is really fast though. We got our items and beer very quickly despite how busy they were. Love the lively atmosphere and environment/vibes, but personally wouldn't recommend it if you've visiting (like me).

What immediately struck me when I entered was the variety of different cuisines available under one roof - Indian, Middle Eastern, American, Nepali, Japanese, Mexican, Cantonese, Indonesian, and Plant-based. It's easy to order using an app that pops up after you scan a QR code. The food is brought to your table. The energy in the restaurant is high. They have good music piped in., I got the impression that it was a popular place for friends to hang out given the number of groups that I saw seated. The food was good. For dinner, I had a Mojito, Spicy Tuna Roll and Lime and Ginger Cashews. The Mojito was refreshing but did not have a lot of rum. The Tuna Roll tasted good. When I came the second time for lunch, I had Spicy Tuna Sando which my colleague had the previous night. It was chopped up Spicy Tuna on top of Avocado and Watercress layered on sushi rice. Everything was in a fried seaweed folded in half to hold the contents. It looked like a Japanese version of a taco!

The Caribian people sell many local dishes as spinash Rice, Jolloh Rice, beef stew (hot), goat and oxtail dishes.
