TAB X TAB — Restaurant in London

Updated review:

Hello Guys! This is a quick updated review, as I promised before. Most of you know me how passionate I am about my food and my brutal honesty 🤷‍♀️ So last time I was so upset about this place, but not today! I am smiling 😊 thank you for listening dear Chef!🙏 Eggs and mushrooms sourdough toast was fantastic. Mushrooms full of flavor. Chicken sandwich was wonderful and the batter was crispy just the way it should be. Celery salad was great, only minus is too little (maybe double the portion) since it compliments the chicken sandwich nicely. Ordered one Cortado coffee and thank you for having a better blend, because the other one was so sour before. Bravo! Makes me so happy! The Mont Blanc desert was nice, not too sweet. Berries were ok. The skin on them was too tough. Fix that please. Mont Blanc has a chestnut purée, and meringue, (for people who don’t know what this is) I will give you one tip, since I make a lot deserts with chestnuts. Try mixing it with some pecans or walnuts. It’s very nice. 😋

Happy New Year 2024 in health, love and harmony!

Hello again! Since I was so excited about this place yesterday. My wish simply was to go again have my halloumi sandwich and try one more new dish. Yesterday was Splendid!! But NOT today!! This makes me very disappointed!! I am angry! Something that is absolutely a turning point for me in food industry is, when I can’t rely on food consistency in the restaurant!! So halloumi sandwich was over salted and the greens were so hard. Impossible to chew!! I asked for poached eggs. What a shame that was to say at least. So runny you might of have just served me raw eggs!! Then chicken burger arrived. Wow the hardest chicken on the planet!! Beyond frustrating! Why, you may ask? Well, this place used to have the Best Chicken and also Pork (for those who eat pork) it was amazing!! Chef no disrespect, but you should be ashamed of serving this today!! Coleslaw was not good. Maybe you should stick to your old celery slaw. That was great before!! I understand you want to try different recipes and Yes! Kudos to that! But before you do that maybe test bit more of your dishes! This is unacceptable!! I pass every day here since I live close and now I don’t want to come back or bring my friends or family!! Fix it! With that said I am lowering the stars!! Since I am hungry going to another place now!! And one more thing it was chicken breast not thigh and the crew that works there SHOULD KNOW the difference!!!!

Happy Sunday dear people! Happy girl here 🤗 oh yea I loved this place. It’s in my neighborhood and I’ve been before and had some amazing food. But they end up opening so many new places around the neighborhood and it’s been a while. Actually I tried a few times but the lines were big. (Bear that in mind, especially on the weekends) so the best is to book. So today I opted for eggs and mushroom toast. So flavorful and that’s what I want my mushrooms to taste like. Trust me you will love it! Thinly sliced with wonderful sauce done just right. Scrambled eggs were great, so the mix was perfect! The photo of the other dish rather sandwich doesn’t do the justice! It was amazing! Halloumi wrapped in Kataifi (my Greek peeps will know what I am talking about). 😊 it’s like angel hair phyllo dough. This the Best Halloumi you will ever have, I promise. Soft but tasty and not rubbery (like some other Halloumi can be) it had fried kale that was crispy and delicious. Beets and spicy mayo perfectly balanced the whole sandwich. Coffee was good. But I would work on that. Desserts were good! Especially coffee walnut cake! Bravo! So you know what to do! See you there! Cheers to all...

Me and my boyfriend went here for brunch as we live nearby and thought it looked really nice. We ordered an avacado and toast and the pancakes. My boyfriend hates bananas and they were pancakes with banana embedded in them! There was nothing on the menu to indicate this! When he said he couldn't eat it and asked for an exchange they were very accommodating. It had taken about 30mins to get out food in the first place and after another 30mins waiting for his food we had to say we wanted to cancel and leave. The manager came to apologise but was not very helpful. She said they were very busy (they seemed busy but not exceptionally busy) and told us that any dislikes or allergies should be stated during ordering. I explained it was difficult to express dislike for something when it was not clear it was on the menu. I suggested they add the details that it is a banana pancake to the menu, to which she replied we can't state every ingredient on the menu! She then proceeded to charge me for my food which I was happy to pay, but charged me service charge even though we had complained about the service. I was offered a coffee to take away but I just wish there was enough sense not to charge service. I was so disappointed because my good was actually lovely but the customer service...

When the place got opened few months ago, guys really tried to provide a good service. Now, as they gained good reviews, it seems they stopped caring and turned into a pure money making machine, churning customers to increase the number of orders at the expense of a basic customer service. I went to this place often as I live nearby. The food is nice, coffee is good too. Everything feels a bit overpriced for what it is but it never bothered me as I liked the place itself. I often arranged meetings with my friends there, and my friends liked it there too. I will stop doing it. Today I ordered coffee and a cake and I opened my computer while waiting for my friend to join me for lunch. The moment I finished my coffee and my cake, the waiter popped up to tell me that they are losing customers, as customers get in, look around and then they leave, so I was asked to move somewhere to the opposite corner of the room and allow new customers to take my seat. It was so unexpected and ridiculous that I immediately left the place and I won't invite my friends there anymore. I could always forgive them getting not the type of coffee I ordered (which happened a few times and guys always kindly apologised for the mistake), but this time they were just...
