Chicken Satay
Kathryn T.

I visited the Tamara Lounge last night for a catch up with a group of friends who hadn't seen each other for a few months. Upon booking we were told we could only be squeezed in at 9pm but we were welcome to use the bar area beforehand. They had a fabulous cocktail menu, although I couldn't try one, unfortunately. We managed to get a table by the bar, which was lucky as our table wasn't ready until at least 9.15. We enquirer whether we could sit in an empty booth to the side of the bar and were told only if we wanted to pay a £300 minimum drink spend. Not happening! The food menu looked amazing as they offer both a full Chinese and Indian menu! I had the chicken satay, great value at £6.50 for four skewers with a separate dipping sauce, followed by the chow mein which they altered and catered to my dietary issues no problem. Also a generous portion. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. Friends ordered a mixture of curries and the pad Thai and all were also reported as being delicious! Though the curries were apparently fairly spicey, even the korma! However, despite the glowing food review I have to take away a couple of stars for the fact we weren't aware that the venue essentially turns into a nightclub of an evening!! The music was extremely loud, there were flashing coloured lights etc all in the main restaurant area. It made conversation impossible and even focusing on your plate pretty damn difficult! The staff were also struggling due to the noise leading to lots of miscommunication and delays for simple requests. I'd recommend the place for a meal if you manage to get in early evening as the food is fantastic but I'd avoid after 8.30-9pm unless you want to essentially head to a club and try and eat!

I've had enough Indian food for the week at home so went for the yellow side of the menu. Singapore noodles with prawn and chicken.

See all

All healthy and delicious! It's like a very fancy and pricey restaurant with 5 star food quality and service. Amazing ambience, meditation pods available too. Iced matcha latte with soy milk was amazing. My server was really good, smashed fresh avocado on a sourdough bread minus eggs and sour cream was a delight ! Parantha with chickpeas and green moon sprouts were super good and healthy. Love it

During certain windows, the lounge can get quite crowded. I was able to find a cosy nook during my visits. As with their other lounges, each table has a QR code menu to place orders and the items in the menu changes based on the time of the day you are in. During my morning visit, I ordered a mocha, eggs royale (smoked salmon benedict) and a green juice. During late afternoon, they offered high tea and I was pleasantly surprised by the huge basket with sandwiches, quiche, scones and pastries. Each of their food items and beverages were exceptionally good. I also used the showers which was well maintained. The bathrooms are also individually designed allowing privacy and space to freshen up, change etc.

Prob my best experience here to date, this was third time attempting entry and my second time…read moregetting access. Reason being relative to the amount of traffic this terminal gets, the lounge capacity is very limited. The waitlist can be up 45+ minutes and it's not guaranteed that everyone on the waitlist can enter before they need to board their flight. This time it appeared they were giving some priority to people who had to board sooner as long as I was willing to share a table with another customer. In this lounge the staff assign seats to each customer which isn't something you usually see, though made sense based on the small size. Since I had only about 15 minutes prior to boarding time I wasn't choosy about comfort, really just wanted to grab a quick breakfast prior to getting on the flight, so this was fine by me. There's a small bar with breakfast selection of the day being "English breakfast" items: scrambled eggs, baked beans, crispy bacon, sausage. They also had some fruit/veg juices, pancakes (via a nifty little pancake machine), a bar with limited alcoholic drinks, and regular coffee/tea options. Functional enough for a quick stop though less comfortable than some other international lounges in terms of space, but still better than many lounges in the US when comparing quality of food.

It takes a bit of a walk and a few escalators to get to the British Airways First Class Lounge, but…read moreit is absolutely worth it. This lounge has the space as in a huge area, the relaxed vibe, the very comfortable chairs and sofas to make this the perfect stop and break when taking that 15-20 hour flight to Asia with the one stop in London. Well this stop is the best. The team here is outstanding. They have a greeter 30 feet outside the entrance. There have always been 3 staff members at the check in which is in seconds. Love the selection and top shelf beverage and wine variety. Really love the ice cream cart. Get a genuine and full English breakfast here. The handy QR codes make it so easy and convenient to order and instantly receive food, drinks and amenities right at one's seat. Enjoy the ultimate shopping experience as you jump on the " Reserve and Collect" computers to reserve and shop from any store or boutique at the airport. All this while checking out the sun teasing with a ten second appearance and the planes entering and exiting the gates a few hundred feet away The team here keeps the buffet stocked and picks up used plates in a jiffy. The sad part is leaving after settling into that beautiful LazyBoy armchair and hopping on the sometimes crowded elevator( excuse me lift) as the escalators going down are temporarily out. First Class all the way.

This lounge is accessible with oneworld emerald status. There is also a dedicated security area…read morethat leads directly into the lounge, which is great because theres no line at all. The lounge itself has plenty of seating all over the place. A full bar centrally located and a dining area with plenty of eating options. I was there during dinner hours, I didnt find the food to be anything special, but it was def better than whatever will be served on a plane. Be aware that this terminal is massive with its own train connecting 3 diff areas. So your flight might be up to 15-20 journey from the lounge if its in a far away gate. Would def recommend this lounge if you have access!

Exactly what a lounge should be. We stopped by this lounge twice. Once during our layover to…read moreBudapest, and the second on our way back to the US. Both times, the service and the food was impeccable. Having a truly relaxing lounge makes you feel more well rested during travel, and Cathay Pacific Airways First Class Lounge delivered well beyond my expectations. The decor here is beautiful. Think rich woods, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the tarmac and ficus trees elevating the space. The lounge on both occasions was moderately busy but not overcrowded. The first visit we camped out in a more isolated area and found some great seats with views of the tarmac and helped ourselves to some really delicious bites. I had a delicious smacked salmon finger sandwich, an Earl Gray Panna cotta, and a raspberry cheesecake in a shot glass. Everything was fantastic and tasted like great quality food. I washed it all down with some reduced fat milk, because if you don't know- the milk in the UK is phenomenal! On our second visit to this lounge a week later, we opted for the dining room experience and ordered some soups and fish and chips. Oh my word- this was THE BEST fish and chips I ever had! It was fresh and the batter was crunchy and perfectly seasoned- then the tartar sauce was off-the-charts good! It was tangy, zippy and was hands down the most amazing tartar sauce. I never knew tartar sauce could be this good! I polished off my meal with a strawberry pavlova at the end and it was a perfect meal! The restroom facilities are clean and peaceful. The lighting is low and relaxing. You have to exit the first class lounge and the restroom is shared between both the first class and business class lounges, but both times, the there were no waits and there were plenty of stalls. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at the Cathay Pacific Airways First Class Lounge. It truly felt luxurious and posh. Best of all, I felt like I was rebooted and ready to continue on with my travel refreshed and in a better state than when I arrived. Well done!

The lounge is stunning. It's huge, bright, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer some great tarmac views. The decor was solid - I think I read the words "premium corporate" somewhere lol.. Vintage photography, some cool tree decor, blues, golds, etc... Overall a sophisticated and welcoming vibe. The service was definitely proactive and polished. From the warm greeting at reception to the attentive staff who are constantly clearing plate and restocking the buffet, I felt well looked after. A special shoutout to the shower suite attendants. The facilities were immaculate. I had been up all night trying to time my inner-clock & avoid jet lag, so the warm shower was perfect before my flight. The food was solid, but not terribly exciting. Given the reputation of this lounge, I was expecting a bit more variety, but was met with a standard English breakfast. There wasn't much in the way of elevated options, though it was tasty nonetheless. And the bar was beautiful, though nobody was really partaking given it was 6:30 in the morning. All in all, solid experience. I'm looking forward to returning and enjoying the lunch/dinner options plus the beautiful bar.

We found out at the end of our meal that one of the other tables was also from our hotel, a mile walk away. Overall, I think a simple menu done well. We got everything they recommended including the recommended beer from the table next to us. Plain Papadum & Chutney Tray - A must try! Suggestion, these two items should be together on your menu to avoid any confusion on pricing. The sauces also went well with our entree and naan. Tandoori Mix Grill - Good, perfect amount for both of us. As mentioned previously, we are light eaters, especially when traveling. This entree also came with a very light simple salad. Garlic Naan - I can eat this all day! This could even be my meal. After Dinner Chocolates - A nice unexpected touch. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Bathrooms need some TLC, but are functional. Indoor/outdoor dining; everyone ate indoors today. Open 7 days a week. Service - Good, had all 3 wait staff help us. This kind of confused us. They were good at upselling, but all 3 team members tried to upsell us. Not in a bad way, but it kept me laughing. I am a light eater, especially when traveling. They all made light small talk which was nice. It was obvious that everyone eating here was NOT local. They also have online promotions, see their website. Price - 28 pounds + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success, I am so glad that you can benefit from Yelp. See you on our next visit as we were so happy with our hotel we plan to stay there again.
