We had the baba ganoush with tabbouleh, and the fish of the day (whole sea bass) which was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend ordered plain ol' english chips with the fish - much to my disappointment - but we did dip them in this delicious yoghurt sauce that came with the fish so that made up for it. Love this little gem down Trinity road, looks are deceiving as it has much more space out the back than the cozy front of house would have you believe. Best to make a booking if you can but if it's a weekday you can usually get a table for two before 8pm.

Tasty scrambled tofu with sausage, sourdough toast and herby beans. The french toast and 'freakshakes' were also excellent and very filling. We didn't get to try them but the choice of cakes available was great and all of them looked lovely. The food was also excellent value for money. A couple of minor negatives: The downstairs area is not very pleasant and smells of damp. The music they were playing also kept speeding up and then slowing down. Not something I've heard happen since about 1985! The toilets downstairs were also minging: I mean REALLY bad. My daughter wouldn't use them as a result. Otherwise, a great place and very handy for Spitslfields Market, Brick Lane etc.

We were reading the menu posted outside the door when we were greeted by one of the employees (I think he was "family") and then we were also greeted by an older gentleman who appeared to be the owner.

My wife had the spaghetti with bolanagese sauce and it was truly exceptional. I had the lasagna (my "go to" Italian dish) and it was also delicious. Great little restaurant. Cozy interior, live music, great food and great friendly service.

Never have I enjoyed a dining experience quite like our evening at Carousel. We caught it on a…read morenight where the guest chef was Marianna Leivaditaki, and from the off, my friend and I were greeted with warmth from the host and wait staff. After that, Chef Leivaditaki stole the show with a delightfully curated menu inspired by her native Crete - nothing was overly complicated, but in turn every ingredient and course stood on their own, and delightful so. And beyond individual quality, every course worked so well together. From the first wave of courses all the way through to the last dessert, there was a real thoughtfulness, and it made such a difference. And of course, to watch Chef plate and garnish each pending plate as we enjoyed what was in front of us made the entire experience feel so intimate; so enjoyable. Whether you're trying to just enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail with friends or going to experience one of the visiting chef's, Carousel is somewhere you dare not pass over during your time in London. We hope to get back soon, and I'm sure the other guests that night felt the same.
