You can usually tell how good a place is by how busy it is. I’ve yet to see an empty table at Chianti every time I’ve walked past, so I already knew the food was good. I was also a bit sceptical about coming here because it was fine dining. This meant smaller portions with…

Ruby Red Flamingo
For those who intend on eating here, no bookings are accepted at this Ruby Red Flamingo. If you come early enough, getting a seat shouldn’t be a problem. The dining area is a combination of formal and semi-outdoor. We were escorted to the semi-outdoor area which consisted of a mismatch of decor. The glasses at…
Buckingham Arms Hotel
Located outside the fringe of the city is the Buckingham Arms Hotel. I have been here several years ago for a coworkers service anniversary lunch. It wasn’t great back then and it still isn’t that great now. I guess they should get bonus points for consistency. The decor here is old. I wouldn’t be surprised…

Their specialty is falafels, but they also serve a range of fast food snacks such as yiros, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and even Middle Eastern sweets. Tonight, I ordered the Chocolate Covered Lady Finger. The Lady Finger…
Kebap Pizza Pasta Express
Kebap Pizza Pasta Express are located in the Mile End Home Maker Centre. Their main menu items are indicated in their business title but they also do a small range of seafood, Asian, risotto, chicken, steak and veal dishes as well. I’m a bit wary about businesses that do a bit of everything, but this…
Zoe’s Restaurant & Takeaway
Zoe’s is a glorified fish and chip shop that really wants to be a restaurant. The menu along the wall, the food warmers, the open kitchen area and even the staff behind the counter make this place really look second grade. They’ve tried to spruce it up a bit with the white table cloths and…
