I visited Karv yesterday with my husband once I heard so much about this place restaurant we ordered the platter for 4 as they done nothing smaller. To be very honest the best experience was the staff and the service very welcoming and friendly the complementary starter was amazing but can’t say the same for the food it was disappointing. The smash burgers had no flavour whatsoever and you could taste the meat which was off putting. The chicken wings were okay. The chicken breast slices were dry. The steak was good until it went cold. I wanted to go to this place for quite some time and after being there I don’t think I’ll be returning back unfortunately the food definitely didn’t match up to my expectations and taste. Both my husband and I got upset stomach and pain. Every individual is different and reacting to food some take up to 24-48 hours and others experience it straight away. I don’t agree with your response sounds like an AI or chat GPT unlike my review which I actually wrote myself. A decent restaurant who wants repeat business will accept a negative and positive feedback and learn from it not make the customer feel like they are in the wrong for speaking up.Posted on Google![]()

Food and service were 10/10. The staff I met were all very friendly and welcoming. I got the sirloin steak cooked to medium rare which was very good. They cut the steak for you which is a nice touch. I recommend the mocktails, it was so nice. I would definitely go back.Posted on Google![]()

From entering to leaving it was a total of 45 minutes. 6 people. Food arrived after 25 minutes. £120 for a platter for 6 where there's hardly enough steak. And don't get me started on the burgers - those smash burgers are meant to be a tenner each??????? No flavour at all. £120 and they can't even give a whole chicken. It's "half chicken" let's give a platter for 6 something with 2 pieces of chicken🤣🤣. Only one portion of rice and chips between 6 people as well 🤨. Greedy business this. And the audacity to add service fee when our table was 1 metre away from them.Posted on Google![]()

Shocking! Diabolical. Bland burgers. Average wings. And steak that's so chewy you end up choking on it!! £120 for the platter for 6 😆 up £15 from £105 - should've been reduced to £90 for this horrendous amount of food and even less when you consider the taste. I didn't spent £130 for the chips and rice to be the only decent thing. Could've gone to my local pfc. Just another hyped up place for nothing.Posted on Google![]()

Best Steakhouse in the UK – 100% I finally made the trip to Karv Steakhouse in London today after months of hearing about it. Multiple friends kept telling me this is the best halal steakhouse in the UK, and I’d seen it pop up on my social media constantly. I live an hour and a half away, so the drive felt like a proper commitment but after experiencing it, I can now confirm it is hands-down the best halal steakhouse in the UK for quality, food, customer service, and the genuine relationship the staff and owner have with their customers. Even with a reservation there was a line of people outside hoping to get in. Book ahead this place is extremely popular for a reason. We were seated quickly despite how busy it was. Within a minute the staff brought complementary warm bread, sauce, and red cabbage coleslaw on the house before we even got the menu. A lovely touch. For starters we ordered the bone marrow with bread. It arrived very quickly (service is immaculate). The marrow was rich, buttery, creamy and deeply smoked with a luxurious melt-in-the-mouth texture. The chimichurri on top complemented it perfectly with bright, herbaceous notes. One of the best smoked bone marrows I’ve ever had. For mains, four of us (all big lads) ordered the sharing platter for four twice (x2). Each platter has 280g ribeye, 260g Rosendale rump, 250g chicken breast, 8 chargrilled wings, 2 smash burgers, large chips, rice, mushroom sauce, peppercorn sauce, chimichurri, plus house sauces. So everything was doubled. The ribeye was perfectly seared with excellent marbling, juicy and full of flavour. The Rosendale rump had great texture and deep beefiness. The chicken was moist and well-seasoned. The wings had fantastic smoky char and juicy meat. The smash burgers had crispy edges and juicy centres. Chips were golden and crispy, rice was light and perfect. All the sauces (mushroom, peppercorn, chimichurri, ketchup, mayo) were excellent. Every single item was outstanding no weak links. While we were eating, two gentlemen were seated at the table to our right. One of them noticed we were struggling for space because of the sheer amount of food and politely raised his hand to call a waiter (while still eating himself). He asked the staff to help us rearrange and give us what we needed. I genuinely thought he was just another customer. It only later became clear that he was the owner of Karv. I went over to confirm and he warmly said yes. We ended up talking while we ate. He explained that he likes to sit and eat right alongside his customers so he can experience the restaurant the same way they do something I’ve never seen anywhere else. It felt incredibly genuine and kind. He shared some insights about the business (keeping certain future plans private), but one thing he mentioned that I’m happy to share is that, alhamdulillah, things have been going very well and the business is thriving by the qadr of Allah. He also revealed he’ll be opening a new branch soon in Canary Wharf in east London fantastic news, and another reason I’ll definitely be returning. When he heard we’d driven an hour and a half from out of town, he insisted on giving us free desserts on the house. What a kind man. The on the house brownie pudding was warm, rich and fudgy with a gooey centre, served with ice cream and caramel sauce pure comfort and delicious. This was hands-down the best experience I’ve ever had at any steakhouse, and Karv is without question the best place in the UK for quality halal steaks. The long drive and the petrol were more than worth it. Friends and social media weren’t exaggerating even a quick look at the existing Google reviews confirms the consistency. I will 100% be coming back. Parking is no issue either; there’s plenty of street parking and side-road options nearby. If you’re looking for exceptional food quality, genuine kindness, and outstanding service, this is the place. It’s worth every mile and every penny.Posted on Google![]()

We brought the platter for 4. The steak was amazing. Peppercorn sauce and chimichuri was delicious! Burgers were delicious too. We had some leftovers and I was surprised that they expected us to pack our leftovers… 🧐 that’s what I expect at a £10-15 per head place… we paid £120 for 3 people so I was surprised at that especially as they weren’t busy. Other than that staff were attentive and the food was good. Parking is free outside on a Sunday.Posted on Google![]()
