Been to this particualar Prezzo several times both for lunch (business) and socially in the evening for dinner. Stylish and relaxed, nice big leather sofas in a lounge area to have a pre meal drink. Staff are always freindly, service can be a bit slow but hopefully that is because everyhting is freshly made. can be a bit quiet sometimes although it's right opposite a Pizza Hut and sitting in Prezzo watching the crowds in there is quiet comforting in the knowledge that we are in a relaxed atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and the Calzone a good bet!Not much on the dessert menu though.
Was a little disapointed last week when we went in to take advantage of the Sunday Mails offer of 2 for 1 at Prezzo only to be told it was not available on Fridays or Saturdays (no mention of this in any blurb) even though there were plenty of empty tables!Been to this particualar Prezzo several times both for lunch (business) and socially in the evening for dinner.

This is another indian restaurant that i love to visit - i'm suprised i'm not the size of a house by now with the amount of meals i eat out! The good thing about Meehak, and one of the big differences between them and other indian restaurants is that they don't have that greasy feel to their meals. I'm not saying they are healthy, but they don't have that fatty after taste other indian restaurants leave you with. The food itself is delicious and flavoursome. I'd rate the food highly but the service is also excellent. Well worth a visit or two!This is another indian restaurant that i love to visit - i'm suprised i'm not the size of a house by now with the amount of meals i eat out!

This is an excellent sushi bar situated right in the millennium dome/02. There is sit-in conveyor belt sushi as well as take out sushi which makes an excellent light snack. The conveyor belt has 3 coloured plate system â¬ green the cheapest, gold the most expensive. The sushi is made fresh every day and the quality and variety is excellent. There are a number of egg/vegetarian type sushis â¬ itâ¬"s not all just fish! It is served with freshly pickled ginger and a small portion of crispy seaweed. They also serve hot meals such as noodles/rice and currys. However, I can recommend the crab or prawn rolls, the asparagus roll and the yakatori chicken skewers. It was so good we went back several times.This is an excellent sushi bar situated right in the millennium dome/02.

Ater visiting the restaurant, the bar is load, empty and pumping dresadful dance music - go to the restaurant, not the bar! The piano Restaurant on the other hand is a joy. There is always a pianist tinkling the ivories. This is unintrusive and relaxing. The food is exellant and fresh. Full of flavour and beatifully presented.Ater visiting the restaurant, the bar is load, empty and pumping dresadful dance music - go to the restaurant, not the bar!

Lots of tastless noodles with cheap meat and a gluttinous sauce thrown over them really isnâ¬"t a great healthy dinner .This place is cheap. But you know, cheap places are usually cheap for a reason. And itâ¬"s really just not that great. I know this makes me sound like i'm stuck up, never mind. Greenwich is well known for itâ¬"s many eateries and I rather go elsewhere.

I've only been here for coffee and hot chocolates but I love the fact that you can drink or eat here in a typically French way. So I can happily have a Hot chocolate and my boyfriend and his mates can drink beer. It's good for stalling a bit until they want to head to the proper pub. The Hot Chocolates are prtty good too. Yum. They also do very nice beers with "proper" glasses. The service whenever we've been has been ok/good. And we have never been turned away from this Cafe Rouge for just wanting a drink unlike some of the other branches.I've only been here for coffee and hot chocolates but I love the fact that you can drink or eat here in a typically French way.

To be fair, it's in central Greenwich, so it's always rammed with families with screaming kids. So it's not the most relaxed atmosphere to work in. At the same time, I've never been anywhere where the waiters actually contribute to the terrible atmosphere quite so much. The last time I came here, we walked through the door and one of the waiters had a tantrum and seemingly on purpose smashed an entire tray of glasses on the floor. Truly bizarre. They are also very good at getting orders wrong, taking several hours and looking at you like you're scum if you have a 2 for 1 voucher. That said, pizza express pizza is generally pretty tasty and reliable and these are no exception, so if you're not easily wound up by insane waiters or screaming children it's a fairly safe bet.To be fair, it's in central Greenwich, so it's always rammed with families with screaming kids.

Noodle King is really, really cheap. Unfortunately the time I went there I felt horribly ill for several hours afterwards, even though I picked out all the alarming looking defrosting shellfish out of my noodles. It's a bit like eating in a McDonalds but with less character, and everything is really greasy. It's a popular option with local kids because of the prices. They have a buffet thing going on at the back which I haven't tried, though it seems pretty popular... to be honest the 'a la carte' (ha) prices are so low that I don't think there's much difference. I would recommend this if you only had a few quid on you, aren't remotely fussy and don't get sick easily.Noodle King is really, really cheap.

Normally with a local restaurant this good I'd keep quiet, but to be honest they're fully booked every night anyway so it won't make much difference! This tiny Malaysian restaurant in a grotty bit of Deptford (by Deptford Bridge DLR) serves utterly beautiful Malaysian food. Run by a couple (Ambrose and Linda) who make absolutely every visitor feel amazingly welcome (honestly, he knows most of the customers by name), the service is fab and the food is great value. I haven't managed to work my way through the whole menu yet, but standouts so far are the drunken chicken (beautifully flavoured with ginger) and the sambal dishes. The noodles and just simple things like dumplings are excellently done. Only problem is - you do need to book in advance because I am not the only person who thinks this place is fantastic!Normally with a local restaurant this good I'd keep quiet, but to be honest they're fully booked every night anyway so it won't make much difference!

An excellent evening at SE10! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our two course meal. Our starters were a warm goats cheese on french beans and a spicy beef. Both simple, yet delicious and full of flavour. Our mains were an excellently cooked steak, accompanied by delicious home-made chips and a duck breast, succulent and well presented.

Service was excellent. Our waitstaff were delightful. Warm, friendly and attentive, yet never overbearing. Will definitely be returning in the future.

All i can say is fantastic, my kind of food, well worth the money, if you want to propose to the one you love, after eating here she will be putty in your hands.An excellent evening at SE10!

Well worthy of four stars in my opinion, a far cry from the place it used to be, me my wife and my inlaws all came here for a meal, good attentive staff, reasonable selection of beers and lagers, although we werent too happy with the bottle of wine we let the waiter recommend, but each to their own taste, the food although pricey was actually really good, the rest of my party, all having something different, all agreed it was good, what you find if you all order different things is one or two can arive at different times, so you either wait or start without the others, not the case here all arrived at same time, all a good temperature. well done i would and will go again.Well worthy of four stars in my opinion, a far cry from the place it used to be, me my wife and my inlaws all came here for a meal, good attentive staff, reasonable selection of beers and lagers, although we werent too happy with the bottle of wine we let the waiter recommend, but each to their own taste, the food although pricey was actually really good, the rest of my party, all having something different, all agreed it was good, what you find if you all order different things is one or two can arive at different times, so you either wait or start without the others, not the case here all arrived at same time, all a good temperature. well done i would and will go again.

Rating: 1.00How do these places survive, offering the same menu for not just years but decades, we are constantly changing our eating habits but these places never seem to move forward, but i suppose you know what your going to get, a standard sized meal, standard sized portions everything carefully proportioned. The one advantage these places have over other fast food joints is, you get table service and food on real plates and that cant be all bad can it, the wimpy in Greenwich tucked back from the main road in a little parade of shops offers everything you expect and no more, its clean well presented, although fading and showing its age, reasonably priced, it is what it is another wimpy.How do these places survive, offering the same menu for not just years but decades, we are constantly changing our eating habits but these places never seem to move forward, but i suppose you know what your going to get, a standard sized meal, standard sized portions everything carefully proportioned.

Situated in the heart of Greenwich is this fine Indian restaurant, the curry has become a staple of the British,dining experience over the years, and this ones offerings will not disappoint, the usual selection of food is on offer, all very tasty and always served with a smile, the restaurant is clean and well presented, there is limited seating upstairs, but down stairs it turns into a tardis, offering cozy dining. It can suffer from the inevitable drunken idiot looking for a curry fix after a skin full of lager around town, but the staff are always able to defuse any situations with their smiling and calm charisma.Situated in the heart of Greenwich is this fine Indian restaurant, the curry has become a staple of the British,dining experience over the years, and this ones offerings will not disappoint, the usual selection of food is on offer, all very tasty and always served with a smile, the restaurant is clean and well presented, there is limited seating upstairs, but down stairs it turns into a tardis, offering cozy dining.

Michael's home cooked Ugandan meals are a delicious reminder of Central Africa. Located a few steps from Deptford High Street, it's a great place to step back into Africa and enjoy some katago, matoke and nyama choma. The decor is nothing special but the food more than makes up for it. And if you're in a rush, call ahead, Michael makes everything from scratch so be prepared to have a few beers while you wait.

4 of us had a lovely Lunch here, the O2 is nice just to visit and wander around the main concourse, lots of bars and restaurants, we've been a few times for gigs/events and both times have eaten at Las Iguanas. They do a great deal on Cocktails at lunchtimes and a couple of Long Island Iced Teas (recommended) and I was starving...
Try the XimXim, kind of a curry/Satay feel to it, but lots of exteas for a hungry person and it was wonderful. (supposed to be Peles favourite and I can see why) My friends food was just as good, dont have starters, the mains are huge. The drinks are not too expensive and the staff were really great, friendly and attentive. The music was good too. I can highly recommend this place.4 of us had a lovely Lunch here, the O2 is nice just to visit and wander around the main concourse, lots of bars and restaurants, we've been a few times for gigs/events and both times have eaten at Las Iguanas.
