Tigermilk | London — Restaurant in London

We had discovered this place on TikTok and it had lots of good reviews so thought I’d give it a try. I came here with a friend a few days ago on a Saturday with high expectations and frankly don’t see the hype. The whole service felt rushed and was reminded several times we needed to leave by a certain time for next bookings, which we had said it was okay the first time so why the constant reminder? We felt that our server was very overbearing and was just overall an unpleasant experience needless to say.

It was quite busy and they seemed understaffed for a Saturday night. Food took a very long time to come and we noticed there was lots of food by the kitchen counter with no one to bring out food. By the time our food came to our table the food was a bit cold and just not enjoyable. The service wasn’t very attentive either with our drinks arriving after the food. No one apologised for the long wait time or cared to explain what happened, drinks should always come before food! We had also ordered a second round of drinks and it took so long to arrive that by the time it did we only had 10mins left before we had to give the table back. We also asked for some more water and our server never came back with any, they were nowhere to be found. When we finally did see our server they were too busy having a chat at the bar with bartenders.

Not only did everything feel rushed, the food was cold, average and pricey. There’s definitely better Mexican places elsewhere. My friend and I had such high expectations for this place especially after seeing all the good reviews on TikTok and google. Turns out the staff ask people to leave good reviews (we overheard our server asking the table next to us). I’ve never been to a restaurant where staff ask for good reviews It’s a bit sad and sounds desperate. Things need improvement here, matter of fact train your staff better so they’re more attentive and people aren’t left waiting for food and drinks for a ridiculous amount of time!

When we were leaving we also saw a mouse running around near the host stand. At the time there wasn’t anyone by the door so we had waited near the door for a moment and just notified a staff member passing by the area and they just laughed in our face, didn’t apologise or care there was a mouse in the establishment. It was...

HOT HOT HOT! Sexy restaurant with even sexier food. I can’t recommend this place enough the food was divine and the produce was clearly fresh. We had the guacamole which was so creamy the flavours which topped the guac added a nice heat to the mix. We also had the tacos de cochinita pibil which were delicious the flavours went so well together and although they came as two tacos our waiter was able to make them into a three because we were a table of three so we were very grateful for that. You have to try the salmon tiradito it was so fresh with the touch of the onion and coriander it really brought out the flavour of the fish. Moving onto mains the coco loco was definitely a fan favourite for us the mango the coconut and the fish was delicious and it paired really well with the Spanish rice. We also had the smoky mole rojo wow this was incredible the chocolate with the chile although our tastebuds were a little confused they certainly paired well together and gave it that moreish taste also paired really well with the Spanish rice. And lastly for the mains but definitely not least were the carnitas quesadillas we all agreed that we have to come back for these the cheese was insanely good paired with the sauce and the meat spectacular I can’t recommend these enough. For dessert we had to try the cheesecake this did not disappoint so creamy and the biscuit base was so caramelly. We tried the passionfruit tiramisu this was so well done the fruit flavour was strong but not overpowering and finally we had the brioche Perdue which I would highly recommend it was so light and fluffy and the sauce was such a lovely touch. We all went for the Isabel sours for drinks and they were delicious definitely not one to miss. The atmosphere was incredible the lighting made it feel so warm and friendly the interior was incredible definitely photo worthy and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful we requested a booth when booking and we got the perfect one. This is the perfect restaurant for sharing with friends or family and the presentation of the food and the restaurant was immaculate I cannot recommend this place enough. I can’t wait to...

I had high hopes for the newly opened Tiger Milk due to their success in France but unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. From the outset, things felt off. I ordered a wine listed on the menu, only to be told it hasn’t been in stock since opening on the 12th — it’s now the 21st. If a menu item hasn’t been available for over a week, it simply shouldn’t be printed on the menu, especially during opening week.

We ordered a mix of small and large plates, which all arrived within ten minutes of ordering. While prompt service is usually a positive, in this case it raised red flags. Dishes that should be cooked fresh and timed appropriately shouldn’t all be ready simultaneously unless they’re pre-prepped or reheated — which they unfortunately tasted like.

The salmon arrived raw. Not rare, not seared — raw. When we questioned whether it was meant to be seared, the waiter responded that it was “medium.” It was not. The rice that accompanied the meal tasted of plastic, which suggests it was previously cooked and stored in a plastic container while still hot. The result was unpleasant and unappetizing. We sent back both dishes.

While they did remove the salmon and rice from the bill, we had flagged in advance that this was a birthday booking. There was no acknowledgment of this — no gesture, no apology beyond the bill adjustment. When we mentioned this, we were told, “you didn’t order dessert.” But given the state of the meal — raw fish, poor quality rice, and overall lack of trust in the food — why would we?

Overall, the experience felt rushed, undercooked (literally), and lacking in care or hospitality. A real shame, as the concept has potential, but the execution falls flat. Sadly, I won’t be returning nor...
