  “Food was so good 💯 and Edvin's service was amazing. We absolutely loved the atmosphere. We don't like matcha & Edvin suggested a drink with strawberry & mango. The drink was the best drink you can find. It was very refreshing & creative at the same time. We loved this place. The pasta was also delicious 😋, it was the pesto pasta. A very happy customer from UK and USA :)”

  “We ended up at this lovely establishment on three separate occasions, each time was really good. Enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Great location and the large fans came in handy during this heat wave! The food was tasty and hit the spot for each of us. Would highly recommend to others.”

  “We had dinner here and, unfortunately, a few issues with billing left a bad impression. First, when we asked to split the bill, the server flatly refused, saying “we don’t do that.” This made an already pricey meal more awkward to manage as a group. Second, and more concerning: a £7 service charge had already been added to our bill. When I paid in cash, the server never returned with my change. That change should have been mine to leave as an additional tip or take back — that decision isn’t the restaurant’s to make for me, especially when a service charge was already included. The food itself was very average. The shakshuka was horrendous, though the chicken baos were fine. Combined with the billing issues, it’s hard to justify the prices here. I’d think twice before returning unless things change.”

  “Great service and food. Came to visit on a Monday evening so it was nice and quiet. It was my first visit here. I was torn between getting the steak or the rotisserie chicken. I usually lean towards the steak offering but I can’t help but appreciate a nice rotisserie chicken. My wife ordered the cacio pepe pasta. Both dishes were quite nice. The chicken was flavourful (the gravy brought a lot of moistness to the dish) We ordered some tiramisu for dessert that we thoroughly enjoyed alongside fresh mint tea. It tasted fresh, sweet and light. Not something defrosted 10 mins ago. I love the concept of the three businesses sharing one spot. It’s innovative and allows people to try an array of different items with a premium service (unlike something like a buffet) The customer service was without fault. We were tended to by the amazing staff and well looked after. I’d visit again”

  “I am writing this review to express my absolute shock and outrage at the service I received at this establishment. As a Muslim, ensuring the food I consume is halal is a fundamental part of my faith. Because this restaurant advertises some of their food as halal, I explicitly asked the staff for confirmation regarding the ham. Not only did two staff members incorrectly confirm that the ham was halal, but one staff member repeatedly stated, "Yes, pig is halal." I was in shock I had then asked them for a manager as this is unacceptable. No amount of apologies can forgive such a grave mistake. Whether this was done out of gross ignorance or deliberate malice, it is entirely unacceptable. Mocking Islamic dietary laws and falsely claiming pork is halal is deeply offensive and disrespectful to the Muslim community. It is a severe breach of consumer trust and a complete failure of basic cultural and religious respect. If a restaurant claims to cater to halal dietary requirements, the staff must be properly trained. I left feeling incredibly insulted and will never return. I strongly advise any Muslim customers or anyone who values respectful service to avoid this place entirely.”

  “Ciaciu Pasta Bar are a part of buns and buns collective serving up some fresh pastas! To start with we had to try their halal carpaccio di beef which may not be for everyone but this was surprisingly nice! Very soft thin slices of meat with hazelnutty notes. The bruschetta is also a classic, hard to get wrong! For our mains we tried out the halal ceaser salad which was slightly underwhelming as it lacked that flavour profile of a ceaser salad but nonetheless still a good dish to try. The pesto pasta and bolognese definitely made up for it! Great classic flavours with the bolognese and goes really well with tagliatella! The porcini e tarftufo Pasta was also delicious however for us it needed more of that truffle goodness to really bring out the flavour there! Overall a great spot for a quick lunch!”

  “My husband and I chose to have lunch at Buns & Buns in Covent Garden, London. As visitors, we understand that tourist areas can sometimes include so‑called restaurant traps, and unfortunately this establishment appears to be one of them.I ordered the lentil soup, which was described as coming with bread. What was served were two very small squares of bread. The soup itself was acceptable but unremarkable, though the price of approximately £9 was reasonable. My husband ordered the mushroom pasta, one of the most expensive items on the menu at £20. The dish arrived without bread or cheese. When he requested Parmesan, a small dish of grated cheese was brought to the table. The pasta was lukewarm, had minimal sauce, a small amount of mushrooms, and was noticeably oily. It was not inedible, but it lacked flavour and inspiration.When the bill arrived, we noticed an additional £3.50 charge for the Parmesan, which had not been mentioned by the staff. A 15% service charge had also been added automatically. I am sharing this experience so that other customers are aware of these extra charges and can make informed decisions when choosing where to dine in Covent Garden.”

  “The food at Buns & Buns Covent Garden was great, but what truly stood out was the service. Alper who looked after us was outstanding—polite, attentive, and full of positive energy. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and their recommendations were spot on. You can tell they genuinely care about customers having a great experience. Service like this makes all the difference!”

  “I had really high expectations for this place, but unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. The food was below average and definitely not worth the price. The bao buns were bland, and the buns themselves felt over-steamed and doughy. The pinsa was easily the worst dish both in presentation and taste. Honestly, a basic chicken shop pizza would have been far better. The lasagna was also bland and completely underwhelming. Overall, it didn’t live up to the hype, and I won’t be returning.”
