Best Cozy Restaurants in Mile End

Everything is perfect except my table is next to the corridor. I already make a reservation in advance but unfortunately, it can’t help. Maybe I need to book much more early.

The food was outstanding; Pig's head on toast was banging with flavour. Ribeye and Rump cap with Black lock gravy is pure gold! Topping the food was the service, so I am picking Blacklock City over the other outlets for my next steak out. Andrea was great and made the dining experience very enjoyable. She is the best restaurant hostess in London, and Blacklock is lucky to have her. Also, a shout-out to Oliver as well; he was great! Blacklock City, you ROCK!!

Always a good meal here, went for the ‘all in’ deal, pile of chops with some tasty sauces

Very attentive and informative staff, perfectly cooked and brilliantly seasoned meat, cooked to our preferences. Generous sides packed full of flavour. Creative and delicious cocktails. We treated ourselves to the cheesecake and the grandma style serving lived up to its name. Amazingly good value overall and a delightful experience. Replicates the feeling of a decent New York steakhouse, no stuffiness, just a passion for food and looking after people.

Very friendly welcome and shown to table straight away. Place was very busy for a Thursday night but felt instantly welcome, and a good vibe to the place. Waiter/server was really helpful and explained the menu to us in great detail, with recommendations on portion size. Good range of drinks and prompt delivery. We didn’t like the sound of part of the starter, but they were happy to change bits for us. We had the All In, which was a selection of skinny chops, pork, lamb and beef served on bread, so it soaks up the juices! All cooked to perfection and bloody delicious! We had the best beef dripping chips I’ve ever tasted and a coal baked sweet potatoes that was jaw droppingly tasty! The garlic bone marrow was excellent, and the Blacklock gravy was full of flavour! I bucked the trend on dessert and plumped for pigs head on toast which was on the starters list. Enjoyed every mouthful and the server had put a candle in it as it was my Birthday! Good music playing in the background which wasn’t too loud. This place is an absolute gem and also welcomes well behaved dogs! Will definitely be making another visit to try other menu items!
