Platters!!! Family style!!
Rumeiz H.

On a family trip to London we decided to stop by the corner restaurant because it was halal, 5 min walk from our Airbnb and had some high marks on Yelp. We causally walked over to find this place completely packed on a Monday evening. The host said we should have made reservations as they are always busy. Told us it would be a half hour wait. But within a few mins of him saying that a couple of tables cleared up and we luckily all got seated. Once seated we ordered up a couple of the combo platters. Time it took to get the food served was normal. Presentation was great. And the food itself was nothing short of amazing. We enjoyed all the flavors of the meats. Their garlic sauce adds an extra bonus to the meal. After dusting the platters we ordered their tea which was great as well. To sum it up: Great restaurant, awesome food, very comfortable seating and decor. If you have a large party make a reservation. We got lucky, you may not.

I have been to this restaurant two times and both times were outstanding! The service was great and the food came fairly quickly. The servers did not mind explaining each dish which made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I found out later that reservations are not needed but recommended especially on weekends.

A little gem of a place to eat some really delicious Persian food. Deceptive from the outside, it sits quietly on a corner of Hammersmith's King Street. Inside it's warm and welcoming, a great feel of space; you can tell fun was had with the decor! We sat at the table by the window next to the giant samavar. I started with a pot of tea, a plate of the must have fresh herbs ( sabzee) and the yoghurt dips (mast- o- mooseer and mast - o- khiar ) with a basket of freshly baked bread. This was followed by joojeh kabab( chicken fillets marinated in saffron and lemon juice served with grilled tomatoes and saffron topped rice). The chicken was juicy, tender and delicious. The others were pleased with their kabab koobeedeh, makhsoos and joojeh kabab on the bone. Really good food, excellent value and great service. I will be back!

I have been fortunate to have had some really excellent Persian food at restaurants in London and around the world, but unfortunately, Mahdi is not one of them. I found the food very subpar. I had the kubideh (minced lamb kebab) and it was really mediocre. I would not return here.

I can't believe they charging you for bringing a cake in! £1 per serving , that's ridiculous. No good restaurant does that, what a shame

Brilliant food ruined by abysmal service. Put stuff on the bill that we didn't order and then were abusive and rude when challenged.

Got some kind of a stew with lamb and kidney beans. Expecting something tasty, but I just didn't like it. The bread was amazing though.

This is my third time here at The Meat Co. and wouldn't mind coming back here every once in a…read morewhile. The average meal per person here including a cocktail, starter, mains + service charges can go anywhere between £40 - £80 (depending if you get the steak or not). It's not the cheapest place to have steaks. I've had better steaks else where, but I do enjoy the service and the restaurant as a whole. Today I am having the 200g Cheese Burger - £13.50, comes with chips. They forgot to ask how I wanted my beef cooked, so it came well done. They do serve decent food, I wouldn't say it's mind blowing but it's neither bad. Not much to complain about. I would bring friends and family, they have a huge dining area. Its kids friendly and they also serve a halal menu. There's also 5pm - 9pm happy hours on selected cocktails, but it's only available on the bottom floor/ bar area.

My experience at The Meat Co was, well, kind of terrible. My wife and I were seated and placed our…read moreorder with no issues. Our starter was brought out quickly. From this point on things went downhill VERY SLOWLY (I say slowly as that is how the rest of our order was brought out). We sat there for about 40 minutes after the starter tray was removed. During this time, another party of 5 people came in and sat right behind us, ordered, had their entire meal brought out, and our order was still not brought out. Mind you, we did not order anything special. The the manager walked by and asked me "Is everything ok?" I said NO our food was not there and our drink cups were both empty. I asked for a refill on my wife's Coke and my Water, he did have the drinks refilled and had the chops to actually ring out the refill on the coke BEFORE refilling the drink. He did nothing else to check on the other issues or even offer to see what the problem was. Our original server was totally missing in action. One other server cleared the starter plate and then another brought the meal when it finally came. Just terrible service! Near the end, our original server came back and brought the bill. I paid via my Amex and she asked if I wanted to add a tip. I said "No, not this time", to which she responded "I did kind of leave you stranded for a while". Mind you, I don't like not tipping. I know they make their living from the tips, but when the service was this terrible, I just could not bring myself to tip. This is the first time in my life I did not tip a server, so that should tell you how bad the service and management staff was. Then if all this was not enough, on my Amex I was billed twice for the meal. I would tell anyone that is looking for someplace in Westfield to eat, do NOT eat at The Meat Co.

Everyone loved the halloumi appetizer, and we got a variety of meats for the meal. Everyone loved them. The lamb lollipops were the biggest hit, with the mince lamb kebabs in a close second. The staff was very kind and helpful in guiding our choices. There was plenty of food and we had leftovers for breakfast. It was very laid back, we were in casual travel clothes and felt fine. Some families were definitely a little dressier. Very convenient location and worth a tube ride!

Between our table of 18+ people, we got quite a large bit of the menu to try. They pay attention to detail here, which is really nice, stopping by to make sure you have enough condiments and everything is ok. The toum was a favorite at our table being that it was a newer experience for many. The vibe here is really nice and warm. Every table across the room had happy faces. I got the chicken shawarma and just like all the other plates, it was a larger than average portion and the flavor was really good. This restaurant did a great job and I would recommend going here if you have a large group with something to celebrate.
