Food for Thought

Tried this place out on Friday - what a corker. Some of the best ways of cooking aubergine I've had the pleasure of experiencing, and a mere brush against our purses. Full review and photographs here: http://www.thecutlerychronicles.com/2013/05/food-for-thought-review.html

I love the food and I love the place. Generous portions, good value for money and you get a table faster than at a normal restaurant. I have visited many times in the last 10-15 years and always had good food. Great puddings as well.

I'm another fan. The food is tasty and cheap for Central London, and fresh made - no microwave nuked frozen pastas here. Yes, you have to pay cash. Yes, you can struggle sometimes for a table and it is crowded. No, the staff will not wait on you hand and foot (although I've always found them perfectly friendly!) If you want a mass produced kind of a place, it's probably not for you. Consider this though: this place has been around for at least 15 years, in an area where eateries die quickly if they're no good.

I love this place - its not fancy, but it has good, hearty food, lovely free water with lemone, wonderful soup and home-made bread, salads selection and always a choice of tasty main course. There is even a hefty desert available, juice/ coffee/ tea. It is very small, but people are always ready to make room for you. It is a god send after a day of shopping in covent garden.

bland food and poorly presented. Also, no real room for eating-in comfortably. Very poor!!

I love the food here. Wish it was slightly bigger as it is almost impossible to get a seat.

very very poor service, mean portion, expensive price! also, only cash acceptable!

The staff are just the most ignorant people I've come across in London. Customer Service is none-existent. The older bloke just kind of grunts and is not the least bit bothered about being even slightly helpful. I bought a takeaway but decided to throw it away after the bad vibe I got from the staff.

this place is beautiful - downstairs into basement, queue, order, grab a table or squeeze in on one, eat super tasty healthy good food, help yourself to water on the table. Not for lingering lunches, unless you do a late lunch and it's quietened down.

So yummy... The permanent queue speaks for it. One of the best vegetarian places in London. Not good if you want a calm environment to sit down for a meal, but if you want a quick, cheap and extremely tasty meal in Central London, it is unbeatable.
