Giraffe - Waltham Forest

The prices at this restaurant are reasonable given the location. Dining outside offers decent views, though not exceptional. The service was excellent and the food was satisfactory, though not exceptional. It's not a gourmet dining experience, but worth the price. The menu is a bit limited, but it's a good spot for a quick meal while sightseeing.

After finishing our meal and waiting for a friend, a staff member asked us to move to the bar area where our friend was going to order as well. This request made us feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the restaurant did not have power sockets so we had to rent a power bank, which resulted in us not fully charging our phones. The food was good and the waiters were excellent, but the management staff could use some improvement.

Our experience at this restaurant was not very good. We were told when we arrived that we needed to leave in an hour, even though there were many empty tables. The service was okay, but the food wasn't hot and was only warm at best. We didn't enjoy our meal and wouldn't choose to eat here again when we are in London next.

My friend and I were trying to decide if we can afford to go here. Looked at the menu TODAY 23rd JUNE and yet no prices!! Why?! I came on trip advisor to see if anyone else had this issue and turns out just a few days ago someone did and was told in a reply by Giraffe it was an IT issue and now fixed well I can confirm it isn’t fixed (why say it is?? . Leads me to wonder why? Do they charge what they want when you turn up on different days? Concerning it’s not there and concerning someone has said it’s fixed when it isn’t. Annoying as we are on a budget and now don’t know if we can afford to go or not.

Very loud. The food was good overall. However, it was our first evening in London and we didn't read our bill properly and thought the service charge was VAT and paid it. If we had been paying attention, we would not have paid it. Service was only ok.
