Lena's Cafe in City of London

Service bad - Very rushed! As usual, Box is not filled up and not full. Shake the box to settle down the food to realize a huge space left unfilled where the paid food should be. Either fill up the box or don’t serve it! There’s no two way around this. Stingy with their servings and one still pays the same price. Lots of empty spaces which could be filled with food. Very Disappointing. Bread provided is hard and come expired. Even burnt aubergines or not what you want. Food served in house has huge portions, maybe for preferred customers?! Saw smaller portions in box replaced with much larger ones. Double standards? Favorite customer? Looking for alternative places who are more generous with portions and serious in serving.

My go-to lunch place in Paddington. Delicious variety of food with big portions for affordable prices.

Food is very nice here for lunch and has a good selection to choose from

The food is delicious and there a huge variety of options. Highly recommended.

I asked for chicken, rice and salad. Rice and salad was fine, as was the humus and chilli sauce but there was only one small piece of chicken buried under the rice. I won't be going back.

All food is microwaved but the best taste often served cold

Highly recommend. The food is absolutely delicious. I would give them 100 stars if I could.

Neat little cafe with many options (including vegetarian). Portions are generous and the food is very tasty. £6 will get you a large lasagna box with pitta bread included (see picture) , which is excellent value for the area. Definitely worth a visit for a tasty lunch break.

What a wonderful place. Delicious food at a bargain; £8.50 for fish, rice and tripple salad. I opted for beetroot, and double aubergine salad - and bloody delicious it was. I also had a cup of fresh mint tea to was it all down. Bonus. And the pita bread was on the house. Seating is extremely limited (and a bit pokey) otherwise I would give this place 5-stars.If you're in the Paddington/Praed Street area and feeling a bit peckish, I say ignore the burger places and the chains; head straight to Lena's for a proper breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or takeaway. The food really is fabulous - don't miss out on a great meal 🙏🏿‼️

Delicious food served at decent prices! Would recommend taking away as there is limit (and cramped) seating. I would definitely recommend the fish and they are nice enough to give you an extra serving of salad if you don't want the rice that comes with the fish. Their salads are to die for - I really want their recipes, the aubergine selection is well seasoned and tasty! Customer service is good, although don't expect small talk during lunch hours - they are extremely busy!
