Stella's Room — Restaurant in London

I’m a regular at Muswell Hill and London restaurants, always leaving positive reviews, but my experience at this place was extremely disappointing.

The roast arrived dry, with minimal gravy, no sauce, and absorbent sides, making the dish hard to enjoy. I politely asked for a little extra gravy, explaining that the meal was dry, but was told I'd need to buy a full pot. I asked if the waitress could check with management, hoping they’d understand I just wanted to enjoy my meal. She returned, saying management insisted I buy more.

When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told he was too busy. I repeated the request, feeling it was fair to address this with someone in charge, but the answer remained the same until I mentioned I’d be sharing my experience publicly. Within moments, the manager, Alex, finally came to the table.

Rather than addressing the situation professionally, he asked brusquely, “What do you need?” I replied that given the lack of care from them, I’d actually lost interest in discussing it further. His response was to grab my plate and essentially to tell me to __ OFF.

It's upsetting to be treated with such hostility when simply asking for basic service. I’d never recommend a place that treats customers this way—it's unacceptable, and there are plenty of other restaurants nearby that actually care about their...

One of the worst places to eat I've EVER visited.👎🏻 Ordered 2 battered fish burgers and chips. It took well over a half an hour to arrive. The fish was from frozen/boxed and tasted of metal. A solid ton of lettuce drenched in water ( I'm not referring to being wet... I picked it up and water streamed out of it puddling on the plate). Due to this, the buns were soaking wet underneath it all. We received less than a child size portion of cardboard chips on the side. The picture added will show this. Waiter never came back to ask if everything was ok. She ignored us even though it was very obvious that something was wrong. Most food was left on the plates. Was quite upset and asked for the bill. The same waiter came to our table, held out her hand with the card machine with £28 on it. I said to her that this meal was unacceptable. I explained to her that the fish was unpleasant, buns soaking wet, salad drenched in water (which I even showed her) She just looked at me still holding the machine. She didn't give a damn. No apology or to see if anything could have been done. She didn't care that the food was vile and made it very clear with her look Disgusting place with terrible food and terrible staff. Great start to the New Year Places like this should not be in good areas such as...
