   Great food - Laksa was lovely with a nice kick to it. The Chicken Rendang was noted as being a bit of a small portion but tasted great. Love the lights on the tables which change to summon the waiter!

   Excellent restaurant. On arrival we were shown to our table and given menu's, the staff member was very helpful in explaining the various dishes to us and how they were cooked and served. We chose sushi for a starter which was very well presented and tasted sublime. Main courses were equally as good. The menu was wide ranging and varied. The staff were very attentive without being overbearing. A really enjoyable pre-theatre meal. Highly recommended.

   Great little place, tasty food. Prices for food are reasonable (although cocktails are expensive). Although there is a decent selection of vegetarian options, the fish and meat options are tastier (in particular wouldn’t recommend the vegetarian bao buns or gyoza)

    The food we tried was exceptional, the menu is carefully curated with classics and inspired dishes which I'd not seen elsewhere. Try the chicken karaage and sambal squid and prawns. The sushi was also fabulous, I'm looking forward to going back for the dim sum. The restaurant was quite loud and buzzy, a good vibe for groups but we were hoping for a romantic/intimate setting.

    They said online that they were good with allergies and had an allergy menu. But they had no idea what gluten free was and served me food that contained gluten and when I Nicky told my waiter that that were extremely rude.

    The food portions are awful . Like 3 dumplings per plate . Not worth the price. Not enough variety for mains . Enjoyed the small plate with crispy baby shark but other than that underwhelming. Sitting place very small for the amount of guests . the decoration was nice but u can find those in other restaurants in central. Even if it’s halal ………it’s because their options are so small. Like 1 dish in the main dishes that was chicken . Rest was fish like cod or veg .

    GURA GURA - Covent GardenResponded on February 28, 2023Dear Nila, We're sorry to hear that your experience at Gura Gura did not meet your expectations. We apologize for the small portion sizes and limited variety of mains. We take your feedback seriously and will review our portion sizes and menu options to ensure that they are satisfactory to our guests. Regarding the seating space, we apologize if it was too small for the amount of guests, and we will look into ways to improve our layout to better accommodate our guests. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the small plate with crispy baby shark and found the decoration nice.

We offer a range of halal options on our menu, and we're sorry if you felt that our options were limited. We will review our menu options to ensure that they are diverse and provide enough variety for our guests. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and provide a better experience. Best regards, Gura Gura Management

    All marketing hype without any real substance. Drinks were fine but caught an attitude from our waiter when we decided to order a few plates to start & then go from there. Food arrived quickly but very little effort put into presentation & looked like the incorrect plates were used on one of our dishes (bigger plate than what was actually on the plate). Overall, a very poor experience & we were happy to paid / leave ASAP. Don’t bother & go Ivy Asia instead.

    I don’t even write reviews for restaurants, but this was just that bad I had to. Service was ok but the food was horrible. It didn’t taste like authentic East Asian food. tasted like they use the same recipe to cook every single dish. Even the egg fried rice still had the same twang that you could taste in all the other dishes. Don’t mean to sound biased because anyone can cook meals from any country if they learn properly but I think just to be safe I’ll stick to East Asian restaurants where I can see East Asian people doing the cooking. There wasn’t a single East Asian in sight. To be very honest, the food tasted like it was cooked with south Asian masala. I’ve had food from both sides of Asia (regularly) so I know what I’m talking about. If I wanted south Asian, I would’ve gone to a restaurant that does that but I was there for East Asian food and it didn’t taste like east Asian food . the atmosphere was just not nice either. It was so dark it was like being in a dungeon. halfway into our meal they turned the lights down even lower so at this point I could barely even see my food properly . Table for two people was so small and it’s not like we ordered multiple dishes. It was literally just two plates and drinks and it couldn’t fit on the table. Had to put my hand bag on the floor then they dragged another little table next to us to accommodate. I went there off of recommendation from tiktok but what I realize is they show only the places in the restaurant that look artistic and they film so close so you don’t get the full view. Let’s not forget the filters and editing. Not trusting those TikTok videos again . The whole place just seemed very tacky and I won’t be going back.

    It was a lovely setting. We were sat in the basement at the back table. I would say the tables are really annoying as you can’t sit with your legs under the table probably you have to sit with legs to the side, which gets really uncomfortable if you are the for about 3 hours. Food was average. My friend had the Laska which was really nice. The sushi roll didn’t taste fresh the rice was dry and stale. Service was ok a bit slow at times. The lighting was off it was either too dark or too light with the table lamp.

    The atmosphere was perfect for a business meal, with a sleek and modern design. The ambiance was quiet and intimate, allowing for easy conversation and a relaxed atmosphere. The service was impeccable, with the waitstaff being knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. They were able to make suggestions based on our preferences and provided a seamless dining experience from start to finish. The menu offered a wide range of options from Sushi to dumplings and everything was expertly prepared and beautifully presented. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail in the presentation of each dish, which added to the overall dining experience. My colleagues also raved about their meals, each one declaring it to be one of the best they had ever had. The manager also enrolled us in their loyalty program, so now every time we visit them we get discount. The combination of top-notch food, excellent service, and a relax atmosphere make it the perfect place to impress clients or celebrate with colleagues. I will definitely be returning in the near future!
