The Whitehart Restaurant

Because the Abula and the fried rice were done so well, it's a 5 star for me. But I thought service could be faster. We were told we could not place orders with the waiter but could only order via their online menu. Mind you, there is no free WiFi in store. If I had not come in with family who had data, I don't know if I would have got service. I am a tourist so had no mobile data then. I couldn't stop wondering why they decided to go for that colour of velvet chairs though.

While the food was delicious, and the waitress helpful,the ordering process was long and laborious. You order via the QR code on the tables and if you needed more food/ drink during the course of the meal, you still have to engage with the code. Thought the items were overpriced.

Food: I would have given the food a 5 star because it tasted really good but the portions were too small and they were overpriced. Imagine peppered ponmo for £18 very small portion, all the prices were outrageous. ,£30 for regular grilled fish with 4 piece of yam and plantain.Service: the waiter was friendly. A 4star for her but not for the entire experience. She served as both the receptionist, waiter and cleaning personnelThe work load was evidently too much for her. It’s terrible that the management made one person do all of that work and only one Chef was on duty.Wait time: we got a table for 14 peoplewait time for food was too long. We waited over three hours for simple meals and some of us had to switch to takeaway. It’s really unfairThey should work more on getting chefs to meet up with demandAtmosphere: the atmosphere is okayThough the toilet could be better, at least for the price they charge

The food tasted heavenly and the service was great too. Effortless ordering from your table.

The Whitehart restaurant in Erith, London, proved to be an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped in, I was enveloped by the vibrant and lively atmosphere that permeated the entire establishment.

I really loved this Restaurant. Food was delicious and kept coming. Service was brilliant, music was to my taste. I just didn't like that I could take leftovers home. I will go there again with friends and family

Food was great but took a long time to arrive. I guess they were short staffed. Also great work on changing the furniture and ambience. i forgot my phone after a meal and the kind waitresses kept my phone for me till i called about it. Many thanks

The ambiance is delightful, and their food is exceptionally delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they offer in-house food delivery.

We met up for a school reunion so it was nice to hang out with old friends. Service was atrocious. The fish orders arrived reasonably quickly which is probably the star attraction. All other meals trickled in ever so slowly and my order was delivered a whopping 3 hours later. Worse still, the food was average or less after the long wait. The atmosphere was ok but no background music to help boost the ambiance until the team was reminded. Truly a 1 star experience for a not so cheap Restaurant

First order of one cocktail and one small portion of tozo suya taste nice although very expensive at £30.99. Second order I ordered another cocktail with the small chops for £15 where the dish arrived with the missing wings which they substituted with a dry meatless chicken leg without any notice. I did raise the issue with the substitute twice but nothing came of it. I spent £70 in total and as you can imagine left unsatisfied. If you don't have something on your menu inform the customers before requesting payment and ask if the substitution is okay please do not decide for me without any communication.
