Soyo - Edgware — Restaurant in London

I had booked a table for two people for 7pm. When I arrived there were at least two tables for two people but I was told they had been reserved for 30 minutes time so I should have the one for four people, which had been put aside for me, even though there were two of us. We had our main meal and I then ordered a smoothie. I was halfway through when a waiter came over and said "You need to leave now. We need the table." It was just after 8pm. When I had booked the table I had not been told we could only have it for one hour. We were then told there were four people waiting outside and we had to leave because there were two of us on a table for four. They said we could finish outside. Well, we were not going to go outside in the cold. Furthermore, this was the table that had been reserved for me, despite knowing there were only two of us. We finished up as fast as we could, me rushing my drink, while they took our things away and chucked the bill at us. We refused to pay the service charge as we had had terrible service. I'm now wishing I had refused to pay for my drink that I had to rush. Needless to say, we will not...

Another very expensive cafe which is only overpriced because it's kosher and literally no other reason. They even hide the sentence about adding the 12.5% service charge which means tipping the service staff goes out the window. I'll bet they don't get any of the service charges either which is totally unfair on these crucial members of staff. I won't go again anytime soon because the owner needs to learn how to price their products competitively. A non kosher coffee shop just a few doors away was buzzing with life and much less expensive. I had a latte which cost over £4.60 with all the added charges. My friend has a smoothie... That alone was £7 plus service charges. The place is blatantly ripping off its Jewish customers just because they can. It's theft from your own people. I'm sure the local Jews will keep this place alive because they are trapped into going here. There's nothing special about this place either.

I'm a Jew and I hate being...

Staff friendly, food presentation was good Ordered orange carrot and ginger juice but had no ginger taste had to send it back, dissappointing

Eggs 'Benedict' was just smoked salmon and eggs on challah bread - not even a toasted muffin or any sauce Poor menu labelling - no indication of gluten free, vegetarian or vegan options. When we asked what was gluten free answer was vague. Asked to swap bread that came with shakshuka for gluten free option. Could not swap this for avocado, only a vegetable like tomato which was unsubstantial. When food arrived bread was given anyway as if gluten free conversation hadnt taken place, even though cannot be near gluten due to Coeliac disease, very dissappointed. If paying full price would have sent food back

Probably...
