Berneliu Uzeiga - Shepherds Inn, Leytonstone

Wow what an amazing introduction to Lithuanian food! My new favourite restaurant in London and the first time I wished there was a category for 6 stars! I went without knowing what to expect, and was greeted with warm service, incredible food and an amazing musical performance from Alex Smirnov (from Ukraine) on the saxophone and flute. There were some menu items that weren't available, but there were still alot of options to pick from. The waiter helped us navigate the menu and made suggestions. He was attentive and came to check on us regularly throughout the meal, and helped us to take photos. We were sharing our dishes as a group and he helped to split 2 portions (like the soup) into 4. The restaurant had really interesting aesthetic and I loved the big tables and benches. We ordered the fried bread with cheese, cold beetroot soup, layered herring cake, pork shish, zeppelines with pork, zeppelins with curd. the Cold beetroot soup and the layered herring cake were my favourites, it tasted really fresh and overall presentation of the dishes were well thought out. Also - come hungry and choose a good balance of potatoes. For dessert we tried the warm apple pie, lazyboy and bread icecream. We had a local bottled Kvass which was tasty too. I wasn't a huge fan of the lazyboy and the warm apple pie for it's texture (it was a bit soft and mushy for me), but highly recommend the Bread Ice Cream - Duonos Ledai. Now... for me the music from Alex made it extra special - so much that I thought even if the food was bad it would have been worth it to come. You can definitely see the passion with how he plays. They have events over the week and it's definitely worth checking out what they have and booking in advance. All in all it was about 28 pounds per person which was a great price for what you get, especially in London. I can't wait to come back soon!!

Big portion of food. Nice clean place lots of space even if you come with baby. As I was growing close to Lithuania board that was remaining me my childhood where we ate lots of cepelinai and potato bake. All fresh. And delicious. High recommended. Only service ( one waitress) was little too kind. Came many times to our table asking "how was food and do you need something" it was too much from her side. She was quite "annoyed. Definitely I will back to this restaurant 😊

food was fresh and nice!!! you can order half portion,which is brilliant! but some dishes werebnot able to order. 😢 I hope that they have more dishes for vegetarian too:)

Amazing food, very authentic Lithuanian cuisine and good atmosphere, don't miss this place whether you're an English speaker or a Lithuanian, as a Lithuanian myself, I approve! ☺️

One of the unique and hidden gem restaurants in East London - Stratford area around Leytonstone road. The restaurant deco and ambience are amazing. Being an adventure foodie, I love different cuisine and culture and I love some Traditional Lithuanian 🇱🇹cuisine. The chicken grill was delicious and complimented with some lovely salads. Reasonable price for such a beautiful restaurant and thanks to the owner for giving some discount on the final bill. I would recommend anyone who wants to try some authentic Lithuanian dish in London.

Best Lithuanian restaurant with great food and affordable prices. We came here to celebrate mother's day and the staff could not be more accommodating, if you live in the leytonstone area and haven't tried this place. Definitely give it a go! The restaurant is very homely and the beer is the best i have had in London!

The service was terrible!!! Half of tables were empty, still couldn't get any attention from waitresses. When we've ordered bottle of white wine it was brough with closed screw, without cooler and it was warm! So waited another 10 minutes to get it properly served. The food was yummi but we had to wait for nearly an hour for it. We wanted to stay and have more drinks and food, but with such service we were not bothered. Dont think we will be back soon.

Presentation of food was decent but did not tatse how it lookes it was Average for the prices decent size, Atmosphere is very dark and gloomy pretty dead if yu plan on having a gdnight this aint the place as very boring😎 Also found a string in the food which is not to big of a deal but kitchen should be lookomg out for these things not to happen staff were friendly amd polite thats why i gave 3 instead of 2

Horrible. Just st horrible. Have been to the baltics multiple times and I really love Vederai. Hiked out 55 mins on the tube to this place. They brought the Vederai and IT SMELLED HORRIBLE. And tasted worse. When the little boy came by and ask us how we liked the food, I told him it tasted horrible. And he agreed! He said he didn't like it when he had it the other day. The rest of the dishes, dumplings, chicken, etc, were barely passable. Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!

Such a great great great great food!!!! U have to come to try!!!!!! Maybe for most people this part is a little bit far but the restaurant is really amazing!!! Why there is no one come to try? Very transitional Lithuanian food!!!! Very delicious!!!

I admit it before I even start. Yes, I'm Lithuanian and I'm up voting this home-famous-brand restaurant. We, Lithuanians are mote simple and straight forward nation. I'd even say kern. Place is nice, waiters and waitress dressed in folk clothes. Food is mostly Lithuanian traditional. One thing, it's rather expensive. This is a nice place for non Lithuanians to try once and just taste food nothing you have tried before!

Good place for a family get together. The service is really good. Food quality is above average.

My breakfast was cold and rotting. Complaints aren't allowed and if you do you'll get kicked out of there. They made me pay for a drink I never even bought. Then told me I had to pay for the food even though it's cold. Don't come!

Cross between a British pub and a Lithuanian living room fantasy. Was there with a friend to lunch. Waited about an hour for our food to turn up, but it didn't. We left, and the staff couldn't care less.
