Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Whitechapel, London

Stu • July 15, 2016The best place for a coffee in Whitechapel by far! Great flat white and the cortado is a good choice for those wanting a stronger, less milky coffee. Will definitely be back!

María • March 25, 2018Bright space, wonderful Middle Eastern flavours, alongside coffee and cake. The staff is incredibly friendly and this place is accessible and welcoming to all.

Michelle W. • September 9, 2019Candidate for best pasta in London. Finally a carbonara that works for pescatarians 😻 get the salmon carbonara (or go for classic - my boyfriend said it was great). Both are pictured

Orkhan N. • September 16, 2017I ordered pork BBQ bento. It was so tasty, highly recommend this place!

Johannes • April 22, 2017The Green and the Carrot juices are amazing!

The Guardian • April 25, 2012"Tayyabs' long-marinated grilled lamb chops remain one of life's great savoury pleasures - a complex hit of sweet 'n' smoky, hot 'n' spicy flavour, edged with a crisp, blackened strip of fat..."

Edwulf • April 25, 2016Wonderful taste, get the Marsala chicken, or the kebabs. All food is tasty. Perhaps the place is not the fanciest place to be, but the food is really good. Will return here!

Fabienne • March 2, 2018Simple, delicious pizzas, loud music at the evenings and easy-going atmosphere. Cool place for grabing a bite before going out on a Friday or Saturday night.

Ron G. • January 13, 2017The chicken tikka roll is one of the best in London. The Karahi chicken is to die for, but you have to have it there, fresh.

Karen • September 17, 2023Service and food are both excellent and impeccable. Try the lamb kebab. Amazing!

Toby • April 29, 2014Best artisan coffee in the Aldgate/Aldgate East area. Tasty sandwiches and cake too

Yohan I. • February 5, 2019Very healthy food and in my opinion the best falafel in town. And very affordable and the best part pf it was the staff. Amazing staff, very helpful and so nice. Well I would recommend It definitely😊

Lauren K. • August 1, 2016This pub is one of the few that serves Pieminister pies, the best in London! A quiet, cute neighbourhood gem with a great outside space, board games, decent beer selection.

Alejandro L. • April 3, 2015Probably the best Pakistani restaurant in London. Great selection of dishes, delicious naan, generous portions and great value. Try Bhindi (vegeterian) and Gosh with Pumpkin

Jetset Bart • June 10, 2016A definite recommendation for fans of gastropub dining or friends wanting to enjoy a drink in the sun – should you be so lucky with the English weather.

María • September 22, 2015Finally a Korean restaurant on this side of E1! Lunch specials are great value: tasty and abundant. Wide veggie choice and speedy service.

Rémi C. • April 16, 2015Coffee, staff and diverse music makes it really cool.

abz a. • August 26, 2014The best dessert place in the east end. Miles better than the other ice cream places. The cookie dough and chocolate souffle are to die for :-)

Jeunessea L. • April 9, 2013Deserts are delicious. Green tea ice cream with green tea chocolate made by their chef is divine.

Martin L. • December 4, 2014the parties are, unfortunately, hard to walk past. good coffee and sandwiches too

Edina P. • September 25, 2017Lovely hidden gem in East London. Nice peanut butter cronut but a little bit too oily. They sell amazing challah and bagels, I was actually more impressed by the pastries than the cronuts

Stu • July 20, 2016Quick and easy spot for a morning flat white at this hole in a wall coffee shop. For something different try their bullet proof coffee with coconut oil.

Squeals • February 17, 2014Very friendly little creperie. Baby friendly; they have a highchair and are very accommodating. Cool space downstairs that sometimes showcases art. Crepe & hot drink for £5.50.

Aran R. • December 6, 2018Been here with a group of friends last time I was in London. They treated us well and even took pictures with us! I would definately go back. Classic British pub. 👌🏾
