  “Not only has the food been standout and consistently amazing for a decade to me but you are also giving your money to a restaurant filled with kind staff and owners. Accidentally ordered for pickup at the wrong branch and after just eat not letting me cancel, without hesitation made me the food at this branch and did so with a smile on their face. This is the kind of place where you will want to come to again and again as well as telling all your friends about it.”

  “Without a doubt, I would come back again. The experience was really good, and the amount of food compared to the price was pretty reasonable. The chicken was 10/10 — very well seasoned, and everything was delicious. The green sauce was also 10/10. I ordered rice with potatoes, and it was really good. The portion was very generous, especially the amount of chicken. The atmosphere was super pleasant, with Latin music playing, which made the experience even better. Also, all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. At first, I was a little worried when I saw the line because it was quite long, but once I joined the queue, I realized it was moving very quickly. In fact, from the moment I joined the line until I left, it probably took around five to seven minutes, which I thought was amazing considering how many people were waiting. Overall, I would definitely come back. The food was really good, the portions were generous, the atmosphere was great, and the staff were super friendly. 10/10! I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.”

  “If you’re after a satisfying meal without breaking the bank, Assenheims 56 is hard to beat. This no-frills rotisserie chicken spot has become something of a City institution, and it’s easy to see why. The star of the show is, of course, the rotisserie chicken—beautifully roasted with crispy, well-seasoned skin and tender, juicy meat that is packed with flavour. The meal deals are excellent value, especially considering the generous portions. Pair your chicken with sides like roast potatoes, rice, salad or seasonal vegetables, and you’ve got a hearty, comforting meal that feels homemade rather than fast food. Service is quick and efficient, making it an ideal option for a weekday lunch when you’re short on time but still want something fresh and satisfying. Simple food, generous portions and consistently good quality. Sometimes that’s all you need, and Assenheims 56 delivers exactly that.”

  “A fantastic place for South American food. The chicken portions are really generous and the sandwich is very large overall. Straightforward service. Come here if you want to be satisfied. Finsbury Circus Gardens around the corner to eat!”

  “Always a queue at assenheims 56, which serve south american style grill chicken. The currently menu that they are doing is 10.50 for 100g, 11.50 for 200g and 12.95 for 300g,and you can choose 2 sides. Personally i think its a good spot to get a big lunch as 12.95 for 300g chicken is not expensive! I saw other comments mentioned their chicken has gone down hill a bit and i agree, they should grill the chicken a bit more to get the caramelisation, so the skin itself will taste a bit better. The green sauce that they made is also nice. And the queue is always long.”

  “Decent sized portions - did me lunch and dinner. Loads of vegan options. Really tasty too, especially the sauce. Gets busy around lunchtime so be prepared.”

  “Another favourite of mine during work lunch. I always get their chicken rice box which comes with a choice of 2 from rice, vegetables, and potatoes, and a generous portion of marinated chicken thighs. The chicken is always super tender and doused in a delicious zingy sauce. They also always provide their signature green sauce which I’m not too big of a fan off so I usually opt for their free hot sauce which is amazing. Overall, amidst the lunch options in the City, Assenheim’s is one of the more flavourful and filling options and would definitely recommend.”

  “The recent menu update has been a disaster. They used to serve broccoli and carrot as veg option but now the fajita veg doesn’t have great taste, looks sad, and I just don’t think it’s a very good veg option. Chicken tastes good as before the portion size has dramatically decreased. The box used to be full even when ordering a normal size but now it’s not even full. Very sad to see how things are changing here at this place. They have recently increased the price but it’s shocking that they’ve also downgraded the vegetable option. It is very disappointing to see a merchant going down both route reducing costs. Probably won’t go back again.”

  “Visited for lunch on a Wednesday in January. Decent queues around 1pm but moved along fairly quickly. NOTE WELL: the sandwich queue is much slower than the chicken box meal queue, probably four times slower, all things being equal. So keep that in mind if time is of the essence. I got the Cuban sandwich. It was very good, the pulled pork perhaps a touch on the sweet side but overall highly enjoyable. Service is efficient. The sandwich was £7.50, which I thought was a decent price given the quality and the fact that it’s a pretty big, hearty sandwich. I will definitely return for a takeaway lunch.”

  “Heard a lot of good things about this sandwich place and finally got the opportunity to check it out. I went on the Thursday night before the Good Friday so there was no queue. Got one of the hot sandwiches with fried chicken in it. The portion was very decent considering it only cost £7.5 in the City. The sandwich tasted good but the chicken was a bit too dry for my liking. Will try their famous grilled chicken box next time.”
