What SarahM doesn't like about Balls Brothers - Mark Lane:
I had a confirmed reservation through Open Table, but unfortunately the restaurant did not pick it up in time. This left us scrambling to find another restaurant for 8 people on a Friday at 1pm in the city, which was not ideal. Thankfully, we were able to find space at Minster Court just around the corner. The staff there were incredibly friendly and understanding, and they quickly moved tables to accommodate us with... View all feedback.

The reviews for the restaurant offer a mixed perspective on the overall experience. Some customers were disappointed with the service and quality of food, noting burnt sandwiches and poor service. However, others had a more positive experience, describing prompt and professional service, delicious sandwiches, and a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it seems that the restaurant's quality and service can vary, so it may be worth giving it a try to judge for yourself.

All Star Lanes on Brick Lane is a very unique place Somewhere where you and a group of friends can bowl, enjoy some food, and sing some karaoke.

I'm sure the bowling is great but I went purely for the food.

The restaurant has a charming atmosphere, but the service was a bit slow in delivering the food. Despite that, the food was absolutely delicious!

There were not many options on the menu and the servers seemed to be overwhelmed by the large crowd. On the bright side, the wine was quite good.
