Silverberry — Restaurant in London

Wow, I don’t usually comment on a cafe especially on an one-off occasion but I must comment on their Chicken Thighs Burger.

There are a lot of places that offer chicken burger which usually are just ok. I don’t know why it is so hard to cook good chicken burgers. However my theory on this is that people like beef and steak burgers more and they have been under so much scrutiny comparing to chicken burgers. Serious eaters don’t demand chicken burgers, that might be the reason. However this place dares to put chicken thighs burger on their menu and it is something that is so rare in this country. If they throw the gauntlet, it would be a coward for me not to meet their challenge! So off I went to order that!

Oh my God, it’s so nice. The bun is soft and fluffy, not those standard standard buns you get even from the high end burger place. The chicken thighs are so tender and juicy and as soon as I bit it, I regret of not taking a picture of it. The chicken thighs burger here kills all the high end place I have ever been to in England!!!

I would come back just to eat their chicken thighs burger. The chips are also good and fried so even and well. I am so glad that I popped into this cafe. Although it is in Hampstead and you would expect high quality, this place really exceeded my wildest expectations!

Service is good, you need to order your food at the tills, place nicely decorated. It’s not the cheapest burger with chips, I think it’s around £16, but it worths every single penny. The only slight negative comment from me would be their napkins is a bit small, would do well if they provide better quality of napkins. This is a real hidden gem. Perfect for...

Incompetent waiting staff. We tried to go here recently for Saturday brunch and the guy told us our table in the garden (where dogs are allowed) should be ready in 5-10min. So we decided to wait… 45min later, and despite checking in with him every 15min, we had to find a new place. Why? The guy on the waiting staff kept saying the table would be free any minute and then the only explanation he gave us for the delay was that the people occupying the garden table were still there even though they had already paid 45min ago and had not ordered anything since. Well, then aren’t you supposed to ask them to free up the table for the people waiting? Or, if it’s your cafe policy that you won’t ask guests to leave well after they’re finished, then please tell those that are waiting outside! We were there to spend the day in the park and instead wasted all that time standing in the middle of the street with our small dogs getting increasingly restless. On top of that, we saw at least ten different walk-in parties without reservations enter/leave. Complete lack of respect for our time. Ultimately, we had to cut our losses and just left… needless to say, we will not...

Silverberry Deli & Cafe is named after the tree that grows in the childhood country of it's owners, the Acikgoz family. Borrowing from their experiences, Silverberry is inviting and cozy, serving simple good food. Unfortunately during the past few months the prices have increased and the serving portions decreased, placing Silverberry on the slightly overpriced range.

Silverberry features outside seating in the front and a large garden with tables at the back, providing privacy and comfort. The interior is simple comprised of about 12 tables and an open kitchen. The service is consistently great - attentive yet efficient. The staff are inviting and friendly with an eye for efficiency.

The food menu combines salads, sandwiches, breakfast dishes and burgers. No greasy spoon, everything is cooked and prepared with a high degree of health consciousness. While the menu includes beer and wine together with 15 to 20 dishes it is definitely a spot for breakfast and brunch. The egg based dishes and freshly baked goods are superb. The Spanish tortilla is surprisingly tasty but pricey. Price wise Silverberry is not cheap. The average dish costing between 8...
