Great atmosphere. Good fast friendly service. Came for the late night menu. Highly recommend the chicken strips with Tikka masala sauce. Good price and huge portion. Good juicy chicken with homemade breading. Not frozen chicken!! Also got the Indian spring rolls which were decent. But the spring rolls were over fried with a thick crunchy wrap. They would have been better with a thin crispy wrap. I just ate the filling instead. I Will pass on the spring rolls next time. I will be back as everything else was great.

A++ I dont do this often, but when I do, I mean it. Their Chicken Pot Pie is the bestest! I'm not sure how they do it, but the crust is so light and flaky yet dense at the same time. The chicken is quality white meat (not from a can), and the gravy....ohhh man. It is even supremely delicious reheated the next day - crust is still flaky (not limp and mushy). SO GOOD. It is a huge portion, so go hungry, and if you take leftovers, for maximum enjoyment I suggest storing the gravy separate and then added when you reheat! Also had the Meat Pie, it's great too, but the Chicken is my fav!

I had the fish and chips. The batter was light and crispy. The chips are made from fresh potatoes; not frozen fries.
The service was good.
My only complaint is that the fish could use a little salt.
I will go back.

This is about as close as you could get to a London pub without going to London.

Great food, great drinks but the place smells like URINE. Everyone in our party mentioned it.

I was in for a concert and stopped for lunch. Nice old school Irish bar. Ordered the chicken pot pie and it was amazing. No pot. Just the pastry pie covered in gravy. Yum.
Just what we wanted great pub food. The serving sizes were definitely shareable. I had the Blue Cheese burger and hubby had fish and chips. Would definitely go back.
Was really excited to go and have a full English breakfast, and was very disappointed. one of my favorites of an English breakfast is beans on toast and it fell well short. Toast was barely toasted and soft beans were so coagulated and cold it was more like glue. Nearly all the food came out like warm to cold. My wife had the pancakes and by the time it was delivered and she got her butter the cakes were so cold the butter never melted. Coffee was good better than typical breakfast but nothing to fawn over.

This is as authentic and English pub as I've patronized. Except for the accents, I would have thought I was in England. The food was excellent too!

We had a fantastic meal at the Royal Mile. We sampled the tikka masala, shepherd pie, fish and chips, the Earl. They were all delicious. Our waitress was wonderful and very knowledgeable. I don't remember her name, but she had long braids.
