Asparagus something :)
Michelle L.

Came for a nice fancy supper club and had a good time! It was well organized and the wine pairings were key - they had a professional introduce each wine before the course. My fav item was the dessert - chocolate hazelnut pouch. The soup and risotto were also wonderful. There was lots of staff on hand to clear dishes and take care of us. Would come again!

Green Thai curry

Excellent service, great presentation, and truly delicious vegan food. Not only am I super picky about what I eat, I also value good service. The Gate gets 5 stars for both! We made last minute reservations but it was not a problem to get in. Every dish we ordered was excellent: not salty, not oily, but done just right. The banoffee was the final treat! The ambience was smartly done, simple and elegant, not overstated. Definitely my kind of place. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

Right off the bat I was excited by how bustling it was. I showed up around 3:30 and the brunch crowd was still mostly there. I was a little concerned that I wasn't greeted by anyone very quickly, but the waitress did apologize and I gave that a pass because they seemed busy. This is a little nit picky but they also gave me a menu that looked like it had been written on with crayon, which wasn't a huge deal but I don't like when details are overlooked. To drink I ordered the Chenin Blanc from South Africa which was delicious. The decor is wonderfully minimalistic and the place has a nice renovated-rustic vibe to it. To eat I ordered the full English off of the brunch menu. The egg was cooked very well and the beans and potatoes were delicious. The textures of some of the meat substitutes felt a little off-I've definitely had better seitan- but they were flavored well and definitely mimicked breakfast meats. I would give this 4.5 if yelp had half stars, because I do think I would go back. It didn't quite hit perfect for me, but it is definitely a very good restaurant and worth a visit.

Delicious, thoughtful and elegantly presented food. Attentive and unobtrusive service. Well thought out wine list with a good selection by the glass or carafe, if you want less than a bottle. Given the overall quality of the meal and service, i think The Gate is a good value. I left happier and more content than when i entered. I look forward to my next visit.

Thai curry (I think) that my husband had and amazing risotto with mushrooms.

Super delicious food, beautiful presentation, creative dishes, and good service. I would highly recommend this place. I came here on vacation and had to come back later in the week it was so yummy! Also the brothers who started and run the place are nice and have a cool story.

This place is ABSOLUTELY amazing! The food is phenomenal! Even if you're not vegan, it's so delish! A must try in London! (Risotto )

Even if you're not vegan you must try this place! Everything on the menu is incredible! The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the resto was so cute! Highly recommend the espresso martinis if you're in for a treat. Extensive list of organic wines. After not being able to eat risotto or eaton mess for years due to allergies, this place could not have hit the spot more. I would go out of my way to come here again when I'm in London next!

Tibits - Outside is great on a warm day!

Mayfair

Stumbled into Tibits in London. Tibits is a pay-by-weight fast casual restaurant with many…read morevegetarian and vegan option. Staff are very friendly. The moment I step in, one of the staff explained the concept of Tibit to me. Items are clearly labelled. Because I was there around breakfast time, I did not get a chance to see the lunch and dinner options. With that said, I really enjoyed the vegan "sausage" roll (1.60 pound). It was flakey on the outside and filled with delicious UFO (unidentified filling option). I commend Tibits for their plant-based ingenuity.

I went here for the first time about a month ago…read more LOCATION: This location is right off of Regent Street and fairly nearby Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus. 4/5 ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere was pretty great. It was clean and roomy, and I liked the overall vibe. 4/5 SELECTION: It's all vegetarian (but they have labels for which are vegan, along with some other allergy notifications) and it's like a hot food bar, where you put whatever you want on a plate and then they weigh it, and you pay per 100g. There are 40 different dishes offered daily, including salads, hot dishes, and desserts. They also have drinks and cocktails. 3/5 WHAT I GOT: From what I remember/can see from my picture, I got white rice, mixed greens, bok choy, a grilled veggies mix, a green beans mix, a potatoes and peas mix and some of an artichoke dish. All of the stuff I got was vegan. It was all pretty good and tasted fresh and of good quality -- in fact, it was probably the best buffet/hot food type bar I've ever been to. None of it tasted like it'd been sitting out for a while, and none of it was undercooked or tasted too processed. The only complaint I have is that I wish they refrained from using oil, but it actually could've been much worse, so that's that. 3/5 SERVICE: The employees seemed friendly. I mean, we didn't really need to interact with them much, given the style of eatery, but they seemed nice lol. 4/5

Came here for pre-theater anniversary dinner with my wife. The ambiance was somewhere between that of a trendy club and nice bar. There was a mad scientist vibe with the lights being industrial vibe and some metal decor. The music was thumpy and loud enough to remind you it was there. It made me feel a bit out-of-place as somebody well past my 20s, but also a bit cool or being there. You really come here for the drinks. We got the pipe dream, smokey old fashioned, honeypot picante, and one other I can't remember the name of, but which came in a flower pot. The pipe dream and smokey old fashioned were likely the best. Overall the drinks were more visually appealing than traditionally good and the visually appealing ones tended to have ingredients that weren't as top shelf and/or they were just too sweet. Not bad, but disappointing for what we'd hope. The food was the opposite. I had low expectations and the food wasn't amazing, but was better than average. We got the bao buns, crispy duck pancakes, panko halloumi, katsu curry, and hot honey pork tacos. They arranged for it all to come out in time for us to make our theater show, which was nice. The bao buns and pork tacos were probably the best. Neither blew me away, but both were solid. The katsu curry and halloumi were standard of what you might expect. The crispy duck pancakes was maybe as advertised, but it would have been nice to have some moistness or substance to the dug vs. it basically being crunchy salty bits of something. Overall, this wasn't a bad meal, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for either. We may be back, but we'll probably try other things first.

We were so full after touring Burrough market, that we almost cancelled our reservation here, and…read morethat would have been tragic. Dishoom was one of our favorite spots in London. Since we were full, we ordered small and it was the perfect amount for us: Vegetable Samosa - get it Garlic naan - get it, goes great with this entree Roti - not ideal for this entree, but maybe with something else, delicious, but too thin, not enough structure, thin tortilla like Basmati rice - get it for this entree Ruby chicken - get it bc it's so good! Our server also surprised us with chocolate lava cake and lightly spicy ice cream to wish us good luck on the marathon and it was so good!!! The perfect ending to an amazing meal. Do not miss out on Dishoom!

Worth the hype! I've…read moreheard a lot about Dishoom and was curious if the food would live up to the hype...and the answer is YES, YES IT DOES. The food is so good and so flavorful! I wish I had more people with me so that we could've ordered more dishes. My party of 3 ordered: 1 chicken ruby, 1 house daal, 1 garlic naan, 2 bowls of rice, samosas, fried okra, and some tea. Everything was DELICIOUS! The daal was fantastic. But man oh man was the Chicken Ruby addicting! The Chicken Ruby is their take on butter chicken and it was the perfect balance of acidity and spice and sweetness. We wanted to order another Chicken Ruby but we couldn't eat anymore. Would recommend this place to anyone! So good

We started with a mixed plattern of little bits and bites like Cashew Nut Pakora and Masala Poppadums ( Savoury crips garnished with chopped onion, tomato, cucumber and green chilli and coriander) All was really good. But my personal highlight of the night was the Masala Dosa! It was acutally the best Dosa i had, since i have left India three years ago. I would come back only for the Dosa!!! For the main course we had some different dishes coming up with riche or Butter Naan. All were very tasteful and the way they were served seemed really authentic to me. The service was good, always making sure that we had enough to drink and are enjoying our food. As deserts we had Gulab Jammum ( Golden condensed milk dumplings in a rose and saffran syrup) Amazing! You really gotta try this. If there would be one thing i would be picky about, it would be the interieur of the dining room in the back of the restaurant. It is not really the most relaxing place to sit in. At least the plastic flowers hanging down from the ceiling could be changed into real ones, but in a way this also fits to India.. ;-)
