Came to this restaurant for a light lunch before a show and loved the atmosphere. You can tell the staff are working very hard to make sure the experience feels very relaxed. Beware, the Long Island kicks like a mule. But the food was amazing. Definitely coming back for a proper meal down the line.

An incredible experience at Happy London. I had a meal there and everything was absolutely delicious, with carefully prepared dishes of excellent quality. The service was unbeatable, making you feel at home from the very first moment. Without a doubt, every time I visit London, this will be my go-to place to eat. Highly recommended!

Food is great. Price is reasonable. Great wait staff and convenient location! What's not to love about the place. Happened to stumble upon it and decided to grab a quick meal. Was thoroughly surprised with how good it was. Definitely a recommend for me if you are in the area.

I really couldn't fault this place. Food fair prices for London. Staff always smiling and helpful. Service and atmosphere was great. Food was served quick enough with bread to die for. Potions appear small but don't underestimate them! We didn't book and we were lucky there was no long Q at all. I will go back. Thank you 💛

We booked a table for two for our wedding anniversary meal following a great review from our son. The service was very good in general and the food was great, albeit slightly different from the photos on the menu in appearance. We noticed some birthday celebrations around the restaurant which was a nice touch from the staff (nothing for wedding anniversaries though!). When it came to requesting the bill, it was displayed on an electronic device and it wasn’t clear (until we’d paid it and looked through the printed receipt) that there was an ‘optional’ service charge of £15.96 added (12.5%). By this point, we’d already given the waitress £10 as a tip, which she gladly accepted; so it turned out that we’d paid nearly £26 in gratuities. I feel this ‘optional’ charge should be highlighted on the electronic device when the bill is presented.

Great energy from the time we walked. The place is nicely decorated and well lit. The drinks were superb (though sweet) and the food was delicious! I've visited twice and would revisit again when in Piccadilly Circus. We ordered. The prawns paella. garlic cheese bread, Beef Tagliatelle , Mac and cheese beef.

A very nice experience. Food came fast and was mostly tasty. Portion sizes are on the tad small side. Cocktails all tasted good! Deserts were just okay. Would have been nice to get the same waiter through our meal. Had four that I can remember

The restaurant has a good variation of food, they have seafood, steaks, chicken, tacos and salads. Everything looks amazing. I had the pasta with shrimp, perfect presentation and flavour. My wife had a salad and it was amazing too. The service was very good. I fully recommend this place!

December 18, 2024

The food was well prepared and of great taste, however disgustingly overpriced; with less portions and over-displayed (trying too hard to present it). Horrible music taste which didn t fit the atmosphere with an overall fast food vibe. To top it off was charged a service bill (which needed removed upon asking) which didn t go to staff, something I d have happily given in staff tips to the multiple other incredible restaurants I ve so far visited. Wouldnt visit again.

Absolute joke the service and the food was cold but they kept trying to deny it, also the manager wouldnt tell us her name she said i dont hve to tell you also they was also speaking in a foreign language together

December 18, 2024

Not a very happy experience, extremely noisy place, we were placed near the kitchen from which a nauseating smell of fish came out, we asked a waiter to change tables who called the room manager, this was EXTREMELY RUDE and told us said that if we wanted to change tables we had to leave the restaurant and queue again (in all this there were at least 4 other empty tables without reservations that could have accommodated us) too bad they had already ordered otherwise we would have got up and gone away

Went there yesterday. Food was good. It was my partner s birthday but the waiters refused to sing us birthday songs, said it is reservation only. But I checked it cannot be booked on Sunday. Ruined the birthday. Just another day I did not feel welcomed in this city. Maybe I will try leaving or quit my life.

Top restaurant

December 16, 2024

We decided to visit this restaurant today after noticing how busy it always seemed, assuming the popularity was due to generous portions and great food as advertised on pictures. Unfortunately, this was far from the case. We all ordered steak, which was not only much smaller than the advertised size but also poorly cooked(if you could call this steak). Despite asking for different doneness levels, none of them were prepared as requested. To make matters worse, as soon as we left, my husband became extremely ill, suffering from stomach issues and vomiting. The experience was truly awful. The portions were underwhelming, the quality was terrible, and the aftermath was even worse. I can t understand how this place won a Best Restaurant award. It was a complete waste of money, and we will not be returning. If I could give zero stars, I would. Avoid this place at all costs!

December 16, 2024

We booked a meal Friday night for my daughter s 18th Birthday celebrations which was ruined by cold food, slow service and they refused to sing my daughter happy birthday as we never bought just 1 dessert even though our total bill was £328 !!! No one on our table wanted a dessert. Will not be returning enjoy the 1* negative review as you certainly earned it.

Had really bad experiences last Saturday evening. We were party of 8 people and agreed to sit in two different tables until bigger one become available so we could move and all sit together. That didnt happen for some time tho. At some point one table became available but staff said table had been pre-booked and sadly cant do much. No one showed up for over 30 min and I was so passed off and had a word with one of the duty managers. He admitted they didnt give that table to us on purpose. Ive never experienced such a low management behaviour and would never visit that place again.

The waitress we had was amazing, very smiley and willing to help! We ordered the nachos and the cheese burger (the one where they inject more cheese). The nachos were lukewarm and tasted more like pork than beef. We sent that back and got the garlic doughballs. They weren t heated fully as the cheese in the middle was still lumpy. The burger was ok, mostly nice but the burger itself was chewy and the bottom was very hard to bite through. The cookie dough was amazing! Honestly this isn t the best experience and when we went last year it was so much better! Don t think we ll be coming back to be honest.

December 15, 2024

Disastrous restaurant. The only possibilities for booking are 7:30 p.m. or 9:45 p.m. because there are 2 services, this poses no problem for us and we choose the last slot. The waitress comes at 9:55 p.m. to take our order, we take a starter, she looks at her watch in piss-off mode . We havent chosen the dishes yet, she comes back 2 minutes later to tell us that the kitchen is going to close, with a still unpleasant attitude. If it bothers you to welcome customers this late, do not offer these slots for reservations and change your opening hours. The quantity in the dishes are quite low for the prices. We leave without having had dessert and very disappointed

December 15, 2024

Booked a table here, only to arrive and be told to wait outside, the staff member seemed stressed and unsure if he had a table available when I asked if it s ready. We were on time too, so really no excuse. The menu has a huge range of food, which all looks delicious, and well-sized in the pictures. The food arrived, in a significantly smaller serving than the menu would have you believe. It was also warm, and not hot. The quesadillas were dripping with oil when eaten, and the cheeseburger rolls were simply awful, and again filled with oil. If you re thinking of ordering the skinny fries, don t bother. They re just crisps poured out on to a plate and are awful. The salad we ordered was the best part, but still poor having been covered in oil again. I don t understand how this place has won awards for best in UK . I genuinely would consider the food to be about as good as a burger van you see in the local B&Q car park - fried, oily and tasteless. I d highly advise you avoid this place if you re looking for a decent meal. They also add on a 12.5% service charge which is described as optional but only after you have paid it.

We were a party of eight, including two children. I ordered a starter of 5 chicken strips, while the others chose their main courses. When the food arrived, everything came out together except for one meal. Upon tasting my chicken strips, I immediately noticed they were served almost cold. I brought this to the waiter s attention, and he took my plate away. A few minutes later, three warm strips were returned to me. However, by the time my meal was redelivered, we were still missing one of the main courses. At this point, nearly all the other meals had already been finished. This level of service was unacceptable.

The worst service that I have experienced in the UK. The waitress was very rude and impolite. When we asked for a missing order, she replied, I have told you we don t have that, did you hear me? . When we refused to leave a review, she even threw the receipt on the table. We said this s very impolite but she didn t say anything. She offered nice service to other customers so a very possible reason for us to receive such disgraceful service was because we are Chinese tourists. Food is fine but small portions. We paid almost £50 per person but received very poor service that spoiled our trip. Definitely won t recommend this Happy Restaurant that made us very unhappy.

December 8, 2024

We tried this restaurant because of the high google rating. However the rating doesn t reflect the reality and we are very disappointed. Small portion dishes at expensive prices. Fast food chain environment. The young waitress serving us with fake smile and rude attitude.

December 1, 2024

me and my friend came into the restaurant with high expectations as it is always packed and has a massive queue outside. when we walked in we were pleased with the atmosphere but left disappointed and unhappy with the experience. ironic name for such a terrible place. we ordered the truffle fries, beef tacos and the beef and chips burger. the chips and taco were somewhat satisfactory but when the burger arrived out neither of us could take more than two bites. the beef was undercooked and same with the bacon. we only ended up eating the bun and took out the bacon and beef as it was horrible and overly fatty. the portions appear filling and big but when they arrive they are deceiving as they are small and for the price not worth it at all. how this place managed to get best restaurant in London baffles me.

The food is good, the best is the carbonara, you can tell it is handmade and not imported. The waiter service is friendly and the overall feeling is very American, like going to a hard rock cafe The lights suddenly turned off in the middle of the show, and at first I thought there was a power outage. Then music started playing, and the waiters in the shape of Santa Claus walked around to create atmosphere, which was very interesting! The atmosphere is top notch!

December 1, 2024

Reviews said to eat here, but I m gutted we did. Very hands off service - being told to press a button when we wanted drinks/order food. Ordered a steak medium rare, only to be told they can t do that. Can only be medium or medium/well. So instantly not impressed by that. Food was delivered quickly, so can t fault them for that, but the Restaurant secret sauce on the steak was so salty I thought I d gone swimming in the sea. My partner ordered the Extra Cheeseburger and yes, it was swimming in cheese as per the description. Trouble was, he said it tasted like plastic cheese, (like the Kraft slices) so totally put him off. When it came time to pay, there s a QR Code or wait 15 minutes for a member of staff to finally come over & charge you an arm & a leg. Not impressed, also horrendously expensive. £75:00 for 2 main meals, 1 beer & 1 cocktail.

Crowd pleasing venue with menu that is big, brash and unfortunate food. Fatty and oversweet, Happy is a halfway house gateway downwards to industrial junkfood. Some interesting dishes executed more for the investors than punters. The staff have been drilled mercilessly to be happy and yet defy the odds to be prompt and respectful, managing to pull up this cynical eaterie in Leicester square to acceptability. Have to admit that this Bulgarian chain has cemented a family-friendly niche, and, God help us, will patently expand across Europe.

2x in London 2x there. Super delicious food

November 24, 2024

My friend and I are speechless after visiting Happy restaurant in Piccadilly, London earlier today but I have to say how huge disappointment was. The food, not freshly cooked or overcooked (or recooked probably). The crispy sweet potatoes were far away from crispy I did order glass of Prosecco, which was without bubbles or any signs of suggestion that it wasn t open days ago. When I said that I don t like it, the waitress was not very happy but agreed to exchange for a glass of Pinot Grigio, which actually was same, even worse. I would not comment my friend s cocktail as I don t have enough words. For dessert we had a lovely Rat running through and around our feet and even though we were jumping shocked because of the situation, we were told: come on ladies, don t be surprised, this is Central London after all!! On the way out, one of the staff smiled at us, saying: Chao! (I will take it as: thank you for visiting us, have a Great Night!)

November 24, 2024

Have been here many times before but today s visit was a disappointment. The food was not fresh at all and I fact was tasteless . The alcohol wasn t great quality at all . The staff was friendly at the beginning but our complaint wasn t not handled in a professional manner. And this is not all. The restaurant is infested with mice and when we made a comment the staff response was : this is central London what do you expect . We have underground here really , is this how a complaint needs to be handled? I think you owe your customers little more respect!

We were there very spontaneously and without a reservation and after having to wait a short time, we were able to get a table straight away. We were absolutely thrilled. The food was so good that even our son, who usually eats very little, ordered an extra portion. The service staff were very friendly and helpful and there was a great atmosphere. We can all only say positive things. Kid-friendliness: Very child friendly. There is a childrens menu

Had a burger (Mr. Cheesy) and fries for take away. The burger tasted really good, I d recommend it. The fries were bad, a bit cold, almost not spiced and not crunchy at all the worst was the amount. It were maybe 10 single fries for 4,5 Pounds. I would have expected at least a half more. Maybe it was due to take away but it was really disappointing. I ate the food 2 minutes after pickup, so the travel time shouldn t have affected the fries much. Please improve in that point. Overall it was pretty expensive food and the fries were disappointing. The burger was good but pretty small for the price of 16,99 GBP.

We ate well and for Halloween they did some cool activities. On the other hand, the waiter at the end during the bill took the liberty of putting a good tip without my authorization directly on the TPE of still 16!!!!!

This was our 5th time! Yesterday, November 1st, we were disappointed with the service, we ordered shrimp starters, they didnt change our cutlery, we had to eat with the same ones! They put second course food on the table without lifting the plates. Entrance I had to ask for it! Second course for 4 people came 2 courses after about 10 minutes another dish came and the last one came after another 5 minutes is not what you expect from what claims to be one of the best restaurants in London

A decent place if you have the funds. Randomly put a £10 service tip on but I guess thats London for you but this really wasnt needed on what was already quite an expensive meal. Probably wont return as a result. Let me be the judge of how much to pay, not you. Dont get the house fries. Theyre basically strings of crisps and nothing close to fries. My sons medium-well done steak was still grazing in a field when it arrived. Food and service were good though, along with the atmosphere not great, not bad, just ok.

We were lucky enough to get the only actually happy staff member hosting our table, she was very pleasant and dealt well with issues that arose. Other staff I spoke to were openly disinterested and borderline rude. Our host was also the only staff member who seemed to be smiling. Ive worked in customer facing jobs and know that sometimes staff are caught in a bad moment but when its appears to be the majority of the staff Id be concerned. Another note was that I had to wait sometime to get access to the disabled toilet as staff were using it as a changing room. The food arrived in reasonable time, but my main, the chilly cheese steak chips arrived cool to cold with the hotplate it was on being cool enough to hold. It had clearly been left to one side while other good was made. Our waitress was very apologetic and immediately went to get me a fresh main. This unfortunately took quite some time to the point my daughter had almost finished eating and my mother felt uncomfortable eating her meal as I was going without. When we did eventually get the meal again it was very good, a perfect temperature and well cooked. My daughters chicken popcorn was thoroughly enjoyed. The crispy calamari had an unusual but incredibly morish flavour. Despite the enjoyment of the food itself and our waitress trying to help I dont think we would go again. At the price of £75+ for a late lunch/early dinner with only one plate and can of drink per person the cost does not equate to the experience we had. Wheelchair accessibility: Though there is an accessible toilet it was also being used as a staff changing room when I went. This is a very busy, tightly packed restaurant and I had difficulty getting around with an injured leg, I think it would be incredibly frustrating in a wheelchair.

Wow, the place is really cool and in the middle of Picadilly, the atmosphere inside really leaves you happy, there are even shows sometimes. In relation to food, it complies 100% with having been the top restaurant in 2022 and 2023 in the UK, ordering the mac and cheese burger and some cocktails that are something that there is not. In relation to price a little more expensive but hey its 100% worth it

The place is nice and the food is well done. The chicken popcorns that we had as a starter were really delicious. The only negative point I would say is the volume of the music. Between the ambient hubbub and the music at this volume it was quite difficult to hear yourself speak. Otherwise the service was very fast and the waitress we had was very nice.

Employee on the entrance today was very unpleasant. Obviously 95% of the staff is Bulgarian as me & my friend are as well but she pretended she didn t speak Bulgarian and was so arrogant. We made a reservation for my birthday for Lunch and she just said they have a problem in the kitchen and the only thing we can order is salads. Very disappointing, probably will not come back only because of this one young lady on the entrance. :))

A dream from A - Z. Actually we just wanted to eat a salad so we could quickly explore the city again. But we were immediately infected by the great atmosphere there. There was only a good atmosphere from the staff and the guests, birthdays were celebrated, the Grinch was running through the store, people were clapping... wooooow you wouldnt want to leave. When the food came, we had to order again. Not because it wasnt enough, but because of the explosion of flavor. Incredibly good food, no matter what is ordered. We came again the next day, this time with friends. Again, just enthusiasm from everyone. We will definitely come back to London and 100% back to Happy London.

Music a little too loud

Host at the entrance was lovely and polite, a very busy restaurant so glad we booked. The waitress was friendly, food was really nice, just not a lot of it. One steak wasn t cook the way we wanted it, ordered a Gin and Lemonade but the size of the glass and the amount of lemonade that was in it you couldn t even taste the gin what so ever. When paying the bill they was an optional service charge, but the waitress didn t even give you the option if you wanted to pay it or not. Would I go back? Probably yes as the burgers looked banging lol To be honest it s only getting 3 stars because of the food was lovely.

We tried this place because of the good reviews. I only give it 3 stars because the staff was so nice and welcoming. But the food was not good. Pretty tasteless for the price of it. Maybe the prices are considered ok for London, but the portions should also probably match those prices . 16 pounds for a burger without the fries. Its a fast food joint really, but the prices are for a restaurant. In the end they try to charge an optional service fee by already including it in your bill, you have to ask to get it removed (14 pounds in our case). They also tell you that the service fee is NOT a tip, so the tip is extra, which made no sense to us. We would not visit again.

We spontaneously decided to eat here in the evening without a reservation. We had to wait a moment in front of the door but were then shown straight to a seat. The food was terrific. The best burger Ive had so far! The cocktails, like the food, were simply amazing! In terms of price, I think everything is completely reasonable. Not necessarily cheap, but still completely justified for the price. For others, the music in the restaurant was probably a bit too loud. But it was great for our taste. They completely lightened the mood with a little dance performance from the staff. Super! All in one we can only recommend this restaurant!
