Malibu Kitchen

One of the best Mexican 🇲🇽, good food, good atmosphere, good staff. Will be back soon 🔜

Ordered several dishes and was genuinely disappointed by the low quality of the food, especially considering it’s The Ned. The service was friendly and attentive, but the food itself was a letdown (2/5). For the price point, it really didn’t deliver and I wouldn’t return. We ordered a ceviche, and the plantain chips were fried in the same oil as fish, leaving an unpleasant, greasy aftertaste. We let the staff know, and while they acknowledged the feedback and said they’d inform the kitchen, the item wasn’t removed from the bill, even though we didn’t eat it. Overall, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet, and unfortunately, now I understand why.

I was taken here for my birthday brunch and this definitely hit the spot. This brunch is like no other. It had osyters, lobster, salads, Sunday roasts, etc. The list was endless. They have a huge Sunday buffet and also have a range of pizza and pasta for orders. The food is always replenished fresh and you are allow to help yourself as many times as your belly will allow. The desserts are a show stopper so please do leave plenty of room. A very busy place so book in advance and make sure you do not eat anything before.

I've been here a couple of times for lunch and, if you're hungry, you do need to be careful with what you order as some dishes are tiny (on the flip side a couple are big!). Chances are you will be sat on a high table with other people right next to you (the booths seem hard to come by). That said it is a nice atmosphere and the staff are always great. Good vegetarian options.

I really like the Ned and find it great for coffee / drinks / massages. Malibu Kitchen has a very nice atmosphere and the staff was friendly and efficient. But I would really not recommend the food. I had a flank steak which was barely edible (extremely chewy) and a £7 quinoa side salad which was about 100g of tasteless quinoa and rocket leaves (with no seasoning or dressing). Maybe other things on the menu are better but I'm definitely not going back to find out, when there are so many other options just around the corner that are cheaper and much, much better.

Great place. This building was an old bank. See the vault in the basement. Malibu Kitchen offers a range of Mexican dishes which are great to share if you are with a group. Nice staff and good service!

Food was so average. The taco flight was sloppy and not worth it at all. Starters / snacks were better, recommend them more. Staff were friendly but kept trying to take our plates away when we were still eating or food was still on the plate.

We got a booth which was great food was amazing but the waiters literally took my plate WITH food still on it as I was eating I had to call her back and she asked me “ you still want the rest of your steak ? “ the service is very rushed I understand but to take someone’s food as they are still eating is incredibly rude.

I absolutely love everything about the Ned, and Malibu Kitchen serves my favorite breakfast in East London at the moment. Lots of vegan (and vegetarian) options - delicious and beautifully presented healthy bowls, smoothies, juices and great soy lattes, all served in an upscale environment. Definitely make reservations and note that breakfast is only served until 11 am.

It's a small cafe in the Ned but it was good esp if you want to take a nice IG photo. The food was good but the tea was mediocre. There is a great selection of sweet for brunch and it look delicious on instagram but I wanted something savory so I had avocado toast with hash browns and my bf had an omelette with hash browns and a coffee on the side.

Nice little place in the Ned. Went there for brekky. I got the avocado on toast which was good but the person I went with got the Bircher which was amazing!! Coffee was good but the smoothies were the highlight!

Honestly the food is really good, but the price is a little outrageous. I could probably make some of this at home. Don't get me wrong it was delicious, but you will have to just close your eyes when you look at the price
