- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- I'm back in London today however it was not my chosen destination. I've headed down to Brigadiers near Bank for a spot of Indian food. I've been recommended to try Brigadiers many times and it costs a pretty penny. Looking forward to this one!

For London the prices seem reasonable ( and the food looks delicious ). When you add up the main, rice and sides, Indian and Chinese are not cheap, whether it's eat in or takeaway anywhere in the country, but you're invariably full up !
Spot on David when you put it like that
Love your channel because you aren't a professional food critic being technical about the food, you do reviews just like a normal consumer (and without gimmicky presentation) so we really do get an accurate idea of places we'd like to go. Thanks to the cameraman /men too for good quality work.
I appreciate that. That's the way I try to convey the reviews so it means a lot that you see it that way
Ive always wondered what the credentials are for a 'Professional' Food Critic, Personally I prefer Gary's reviews than those snooty TV personalities, with Gary there is no hidden agenda just good honest from the heart reviews with the odd comedic punchline thrown into the mix.
Thank you Gav
£30 for the set menu, can’t go wrong with that quality and quantity. Soon adds up though when you add things on. As for the breads, to be fair to them I’d have been happy with the soft breads, was a bread basket after all not a toast basket, and there’s enough crunch in the popadoms 😊 Might have to give that place a try when next in London!
Spot on!! Please do
Happy days, just sitting down to my dinner. Thought I would check if there was a new Gary Eats video, and it's just up 1 minute 👍
Hope you enjoy Sierra!!
Appetiser for one? Would you like poppadoms with that? 🌶️
Lol😂
Yeah I watch his vids wen eating my dins also lol 😂
Well, well, well! I was there last Tuesday evening, not my first visit mind… not cheap, but you get what you pay for and the service is excellent! Watching this and restating every dish! The mixed grill is quality and the beef shin biriyani is something else! I’ll be back!
Spot on and brilliant to hear
When I first started working in the City Of London (admittedly a fair while ago!) it was terrible - almost a complete absence of anywhere decent to eat, crap boozers, closed at weekends, everything shut in the evening (apart from some dodgy nightclub/pub type places) it was really desperate tbh. Now tho, it is one of the best vibrant foodie places in the country and a real destination place full of excellent restaurants and bars. Shame I no longer work there lol. Great review and it all looked amazing!
Some real brilliant places to eat now
You are talking about a time when the pubs and bars in the City were open all day and literally the whole place shut down by eight at night - that was the trade off - everything changed when UK licensing laws allowed all pubs to open throughout the day. There were certainly some very good restaurants in the City too but most of them did business at lunchtime - the main exception was Brick Lane where all the Curry Houses were - but that is in E1 and not the City - there were absolutely zero nightclub places either unless you went just outside the City boundaries (ie a postcode with the letter C in it) as for decent pubs - you obviously never went out because there were literally dozens of really good pubs many of which are still there today - love to know what post district you worked in cos it don’t sound like the Coty to me
@@dirtydawg448 The point I was making is that back in the day choices were very much limited to what there is today. The city back then was not a destination eating/leisure area, but it is now. I worked in various areas in the city beginning in the late 80's until relatively recently, and "went out" extensively- to extensively some might say, - so I am well aware of what the city did, and did not offer. Not everybody's experiences will mirror yours. Have a great day.
That kabob had my mouth watering!! Thank you for taking us along on another fabulous foody destination Gary. Cheers!
It was wonderful and thank you
Hi Garry, the food looked absolutely scrumptious . As for the bread, when they serve the bread, as you know, they brush it with lots of butter hence becoming soft and greasy. I always ask for my naan without butter and extra crispy. I love dipping that bread in all different sauces on the table. I loved the food. Thanks very much for an in depth review. It is much appreciated.
Why did the pudding have those spaghetti stringy things? Somebody messaged me in the middle of the vlog so I may have missed Gary’s explanation. 😮
Thanks for letting me know Mohammad. I did think it was a little unusual for it to be that much so maybe it was intentional. Thank you for your lovely comment
@@rosemarymee that is rice vermicelli
Hi again from Oz Gary. Big Indian food fan and that did look sensational and fair play to them for a 30 pound 3 course set menu.
There was plenty there for two so looked value to me
Great presentation as always Gary.
Have a great weekend. Barry
You too,Barry take care 👌
Oh my goodness Gary, I must get down there. It all looked amazing! Thanks for taking us with you xx ❤
It was superb and you are more than welcome anytime
Following your recommendation we went in on Saturday night. No booking but given a table outside within 30 seconds. Wife and daughter are vegetarians so had small plates
to share. It was excellent and including drinks only £ 76 for 3 of us to fill up. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
That’s absolutely fantastic to hear 👌
That food looked top notch Gary. Those Samosas and that lamb kebab looked lush.
As you say Gary all the sauces on the side looked great as did the poppadoms and pickle tray.
The popadoms looked amazing. I was so jealous of your cauliflower korma, the Naan bread, it all looked delicious Gary. You love your lamb😂 great show again, you are a natural. I know it was expensive, I thought it was worth every penny, you get what you pay for.
They were superb Ann and thank you. I've added your questions to the Q&A coming soon...
He loves his Ruby Murray does Gary.
I had a meal at Camden food market and I'm sorry to say I was very unwell on the way back to notting hill gate I had a loose tummy and pain
Thanks Gary.
Another great video. Not a lot to say about that apart from WOW 😮😮😮. Food looked outstanding, set menu decent value. Do love a whisky like, glenmorangie or isle of Jura my favs. Remember me and my mate in mamaris going through the whiskey as you do, bout 20 different ones, didn't venture out for few days after that 😂😂😂 Back to food lol, love a nice Indian, definitely due for one. Been to about 30 different ones in the North East and always been quality, range from 8.5-10/10 usually and normally the set 5 course menu, between £10.99 to £17.99, great value but the bottles cobra or Kingfisher, make the money on those, £5-7 a bottle 😮 Seen on a video, Indian restaurant in Whitby do a Sunday Indian buffet £13.99. Love a Sunday dinner but might try that for a change 👍👍👍 Anyway your food looked 10/10 to me, keep up the quality videos, take care. Feel like I've wrote a portion of war and peace here, sorry mate 😅
I need to get up to Whitby again Andrew and I think you've just given me a reason to head up there mate
@@GaryEats Whitbys great day out, as you know excellent for fish n chips but definitely going to try that Indian buffet this weekend 👍
The food looked so vibrant and presented excellently easy for me today a 10 out of 10
PS
You recalled you went and had a lamb dish with a mint and basil sauce had lamb the weekend made this sauce well it was stunning so much better than mint sauce thanks to the two of you
It was very very vibrant you are right, thank you so much Paul
Thanks for posting again Gary! I really appreciate your videos.
That’s very kind Ryan thank you
Gary I just love to look at the menu. It costs me nothing. Lol.
Great video and content. Please keep up what you do.
You make the week worthwhile.
Thanks Paul 👍 it really means a lot mate
HI Gary , you’re really on a roll at the moment . Such lovely food . Im so envious . Thanks for another review
So nice of you to say Simon
Evening Gary the Indian food looked fantastic and so pleased you loved it and are very happy. Although it was pricey you did order a lot and it pays to have quality! glad you gave it a high score. Thank you for the vlog Gary Suex
Thanks Susan, take care
Another wonderful descriptive review I'm glad you gave it a go Gary.
Thank you very much
Another great review Gary, came across your channel a few months back and love your reviews. Been a subscriber since and wait patiently daily for your uploads. Would love to see you come a bit further up north to do some reviews. Keep up the great work 😊
Really appreciate that Jamie. More reviews in the North are coming
Brigadiers has been on my to-try list for a while. Your review did a great job of conveying the tastes, and overall quality. Even more eager now to give it a go, if only to get my teeth into one of those lamb kebabs
Thank you and I hope it's convinced you
Another great video Gary! Would love to hear your thoughts on Chez Bruce, Wandsworth common. A restaurant with great food and interesting history
Thanks for the recommendation I’ll take a look Robin
Hi Gary sorry I’ve commented for awhile. I’m just catching up on your videos. Haven’t been too good so haven’t been up to watching or commenting but hey the joys of getting old this is a lovely video. Love the food like you. I love my Indian food. I watched your video about all about you and your son and your mum interesting that you live in Kent as I was working there When I had my stroke I also worked for a company based in Rochester called Veetee foods Veetee rice so that’s my connection there I have a long history in food production going back to the late 70s love the way that you’ve kept it in the family with your sonas I said I’m slowly working sit back through your videos so my apologies again but I will get through them as always thanks a lot
Not a problem mate, glad you’re still enjoying the videos
Super again Gary . Interesting restaurant, food looked scrumptious! Good luck 🤞 🎉
Thanks so much Jim
Great quality well thought out flavour combinations. Decent value for money considering the quality, especially the set menu and considering location.
Totally agree Phil!
Have you tried Santini yet Gary? Would recommend.
Not yet
Loved the reflections in the windows of the buildings. The food looked amazing.
It was great food Patricia 👌
Another GREAT vid Gary! Love your more laid back intro and style, really found your niche! Like you, I don't mind paying if it's quality, especially in swanky London!!! Closing in on 100k subs!!! (And Tommy K's Fish and Chip review nearly at A MILLION VIEWS!!!) GM Rich
Much appreciated Richard and you are spot on. Lets hope 100k soon!!
Another fantastic video. Everything looked scrumptious. Great value for money too. Thank you so very much for another wonderful and very enjoyable review. Take care.
Thank you and take care as always!!
Another top review Gary agree 100% with you about the location having a bearing on prices when we lived in London we spent a lot of time around Bank and Leadenhall Market for food drinks
This looks like a new venue the food and presentation looked top class ❤
Thanks Andrew, please do give it a go
Delighted to see that you managed to visit Brigadiers. I knew you would like it. It is pricey but you deserve a treat! Another recommendation, this time, for pizza (as i haven’t seen much pizza content) is Alley Cats Pizza in Marylebone. It was fantastic! Highly recommend.
Thank you for an excellent recommendation
Stunning review. The food looked just brilliant. That starter looked incredible. Thanks so much for giving us some ideas as to where to eat in London 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!
Thank you so much Monica
This place is AWESOME! The lamb chops are incredible!!! Best i've ever eaten!!
So good Sanjay, I wish I got them now
@@GaryEats another trip beckons...
Came in from errands, yard work, and they you were, lovely end to my day. Thanks for the review, always enjoy!
Oh Sandria, thank you
Hi Gary
I’m starting with a wow!!
The starters - so nice and love the sauces and the flavours.
That rib eye kebab.. it looked amazing 😮..and the quality and flavours. Then the main course .. sorry … WOW again!!
The biriani looked amazing too.
And the prawns .. totally impressed 👍
I know we are watching but we can tell how nice it tastes by your facial expression!!
The ice cream looked nice as well.
We gave it a 10 ( even though you said the naan bread was not so crispy.) But an amazing meal
Great review with your trusted cameraman.
Thanks Gary
Dave & Angela
This was all round fantastic cooking and one I’d really recommend especially for the set menu Dave & Angela
You take so much care in describing the whole experience, including the place's ambience and the food's appearance and flavours. You are my favourite food reviewer. Thank you Gary
That’s really appreciated thank you
I am so impressed with the sophisticated dishes that you chose. De-li-ci-ous and so beautifully presented too. How on earth could you eat all that food, as there was so much of it? I would love to visit this superb place! Thank you for showing us!!
Thank you so much Sylvia
Reviews getting better and better, nice one
Glad you like them and think so
It is a joy to see you enjoying the food so much. It is good to see a restaurant justifying the high price with the high quality. Not always the case but here they seem to pulled it off here. I am drooling here.
James this was outstanding value especially for the set menu
Another great video gary. You just get better and better. Good price for the food. Looking forward to more videos. 👍👍
Thank you very much really appreciated
I love the London reviews & this is definitely a restaurant i'm tend to visit. As always Gary, excellent..!!
Glad you enjoyed it Nils
The last few videos have been home runs with the food, your camera man watching you eat such delicious food must be considering his life choices at this point 😂. A great part of your videos is your obvious delight when you are surprised by how delicious something is. Such a delight for your viewers as well to watch your videos which are just watching someone enjoy good food and also being honest when it's not so good. No politics, no agendas etc, just pure enjoyment. Thank you for that.
I really enjoyed this one and so did the cameraman as he had a much as well 👌
Arr great stuff love it when Gary drops a new vlog !!!!!!!!
Thanks so much Kevin 👍
looks fantastic that Gary, you have a great appetite, dont think thats a bad price at all for London
Spot on Chris, the set menu was incredibly good value
That was a theatrical plate of foods there all looked presented so well , looked like a place to visit on a special occasion. Thank you Gary .😜🙏🏼👏❤️👍
Definitely Karen it’s great value for the set menu x
Great review, Gary! Poppadoms and sauces looked lovely. Biriani looked lovely too, as did the cauliflower. Shame about the breads but I guess you can’t win them all? Good price for set menu and location!
I’m with you Fiona for the location the set menu is great value
Fantastic place....Fantastic food, great review.......The bread at the end could of been, soft butter nann.....not that I know diddly about Indian cuisine, but it did look lovely, and you're right very well priced. ..
I though5 the set menu was exceptional value considering the location Brian
Gary (and Cameraman) your channel is amazing always look forward to your video and review. Wishing you even more success with your channel 👏👏👏
That’s really appreciated and very kind Ryan
You seemed excited, a very enjoyable video thanks! 😊
I really enjoyed this one
Fab review .Food looked fantastic i could watch this all day Gary .So laid back.
That’s very kind Glyn and much appreciated thank you
It looked absolutely delicious Gary, a very good choice, well done and thank you.
It was a great recommendation Colin
You know the food is good when Gary can't get out of the booth at the end........🤣 It is a bit on the pricey side but the quality is definitely there. The lamb looked spot on and the prawn biryani looked delicious. Great review.........Cheers.
I was basically stuck there Daniel
Your brilliant Gary, really enjoyed this one Sir!👍
Glad you enjoyed it!!
That set menu is banging value. This was one of the places I thought of booking our work in for our post conference meal out in March but wasn’t too sure about the pub/restaurant mix but it looked really polished. Will definitely look to go the next time I’m in London on a weekday! Fab review.
You won’t be disappointed if you visit for sure 👌
Looked lovely Gary another great video, 10/10 very reasonable for London
Glad you enjoyed it Caroline
Thank you, Gary, for another top-notch video.
Glad you enjoyed it Patrick - thanks as always
Food looks sensational, it’s 10 for the food, I do understand that quality comes at a premium
Agreed William
Great review! Recently ate from the main menu there and it was pricey, but absolutely excellent!
Totally agree!
Another great review Gary!! This all looked amazing! Sat and watched on my lunch break…with a pathetic little cheese sandwich 😕 lol
I hope you enjoyed the sandwich and thank you 🙏
I need the T-shirt with " I've got a massive tingle going on" now. 😅
LOL oh no
I’ll buy one for my girlfriend 😂
My coworkers are thoroughly sick of me "giving everything a go" 😆
You haven't been saying that in front of them have you lol
@@GaryEats I'm a chef so everytime I make something new I ask them to give it a go with your accent....it does happen alot 😃
I must apologise to them lol
@@GaryEats Never!!!!
Food looked amazing. Set menu seems great value too.
Spot on
Another great review Gary. I worked in the City of London for years and there were only a few decent places to eat (used to love the Savage Grill near Fenchurch Street Station Long gone ) Now they have great restaurants all over. Looked good value for the City. Thanks Gary
Thanks Martin
Aww Man, I'm drooling! Looks amazing.
Thank you 😋
So so looking forward to this vlog
Thank you Lynette
Hi Gary, another smashing video. I watch and enjoy all your videos. Thank you for not ordering the same meal every time that you eat at an Indian restaurant, some people just order aTikka Masala which I find a bit boring.
I do try lots of different foods as I do like experimenting Alan
Yet another quality review - many thanks Gary!
Thank you Ian
Bloomberg building! Should have tried Blecker Burger and Home Slice 😀
Homeslice I've already reviewed, Bleecker is coming in a bigger video later in the year
You can find a comparison video with Homeslice "A CHEAP vs EXPENSIVE PIZZA in LONDON" (posted 6 months ago) 🤗
Not sure why you blurred out the guy behind when we saw his face for the first 5 minutes of the video 😂😂😂😂 I like how you swapped him for Freddy Mercury at the end😅
He was eating Dave, not fair to do to him
You swapped him for Freddy Mercury at the end😂
Lol!!
Freddie🤣🤣👍
Lol this comment 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant review Gary, it would definitely make me want to go there if I was in London 😊
Thank you Amanda and it was well worth it
Gary, another great review food, looked absolutely delicious. It's a brilliant price it's got to be a 10🎉
Thank you very much Paul
As always...
...LET'S GIVE IT A GO!
As always!!
First first first :) best reviews:)
You're the best!
Another banger of a video mate,
I, and I think a lot of us love your authenticity! Keep doing what you're doing bro! 💪🏻
Thank you so very much
Wow gazza your views are really a show of how much we love a new video. Congratulations 🥳 you deserve it for the great work
Thats really kind thank you
Great review and it really got my juices going! Not expensive for the set meals and quality. Only thing lacking was any atmosphere or sense of occasion. Like eating on a station forecourt.
I did that Gareth as it was to busy to film inside my apologies
Excellent video as usual 👌. Your videos are very entertaining. Great camera man. And excellent presenter. Looking forward to seeing you hit 100k in subscribers. You deserve it for the effort you put in. 👏
That’s so very kind thank you
That looked amazing Gary. I love Indian food and I am salivating looking at those incredible dishes. I would say a definite 10 and the quality easily justifies the price.
Wow great score 👌
I commented a long time ago wishing Gary the best and his channel to grow and I'm so happy to see it has. well done mate really a pleasure to watch some nice content
You did Connor and thank you
looks great been really thought threw well the food
I agree Peter very clever cooking
Presentation for all the dishes were sensational - really enjoyed the video - will have to check the place out
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review Gary that food looked off the scale good ! 😊
Thank you for your kind comment Mike
Great review as always Gary food looks fantastic mate superb food review channel keep up the varied content
That’s very kind Jack and I will mate
Your videos always cheer me up!
Thank you!! I hope you are doing ok?
Nice one Gary,looked awsome ,somtimes you do get what you pay for.Again a great video,thanks.
The set menu I thought was great value James 👌
Top quality analysis once again Gary and I have to say that food looked amazing well done Gary another great review
Thank you very much as always 👌
like the presentation of dishes - contemporary look to it ... very nice tick ..
Glad you like it Tony, I thought the same
That looked very good, thank you.
Have you done Fortnum and Mason?
Not yet gulp
It seems to me that there are good bargains to be had with the lunchtime set menu. Great upload Gary
I agree Ray this was good value in my opinion and thank you
Another one on my list for when we do a long weekend in London
Heading to James May’s pub restaurant next week, 100% because of your review.
Keep up the good work and let’s boost these honest, excellent eateries 👍
I really hope you have a great time please let me know what your thoughts are 🙏
I think the naan were meant to be greasy as they have been coated with butter or ghee . £70 , it is clearly catering for bankers who are £100k bonuses.
Agreed Shahid
Great review ,food looked great.
I think the lunch deal sounds like a bargain.
Def think that lunch deals are the way forward if you have the ability to do that as there are some Incredible offers out there in decent places especially high end restaurants where you are effectively eating the same food as the evening guests but at a fraction of the cost.
Take a day off and go out to lunch 👍
That’s a really good point I’ll have to take a look at the set menus available 👍
@@GaryEats great ,for very special occasions I go to a wonderful restaurant in Wandsworth common called Chez Bruce run by Bruce Poole for years and they do a great lunch time offer and the food is wonderful ,it’s a Michelin star but not pretentious and if he’s around ( mainly in the evening ) he will chat to you a bit like Roux JR does 👍
Hi Gary all looked really good ..hmmm must try ..I love a kulfi as well .
Oh yes Annie, absolutely delicious
Excellent review and certainly looked like top quality. London prices of course, but a real treat if you love Indian as we do. Highly enjoyable viewing as usual, thanks Gary 😊👍
Thank you Nigel
Great review Gary food looked really nice and fresh nice to have a different spin on indian cuisine rather than your normal kind of stuff
Keep up the great reviews
Glad you enjoyed it thank you!! I try to mix it up
Hi Gary, if you’re ever down in Bath I highly recommend The Mint Room; it was my favourite restaurant while at university.
Another great video!
We actually prefer Bandook. Same owners, of course.
Thank you Charlie maybe one day 👌
Another great video Gary. Im not the greatest Indian food fan but this makes me want to try so will give it a go. The wife and I really enjoy your videos, the pace, tone of voice has put you at top of the other food vloggers - and we watch a lot lol.
One thing if we may add though, great to see you enjoy the food but please also make sure you look after your health as a lot of rich how calorie and high cholesterol you need to be a bit careful :)
Thank you Nick I’m very careful when not reviewing, regards to both you and the lovely lady 👌
Great review thank you
Hope you are thinking about doing some on the mainland . Germany, Belgium, France etc .. 👍
I will be either later this year or early next year 👍
Gary, thank you so much for this fantastic gastronomic journey. 🎸
You are so very welcome Sanjoy 👌
Hi Gary.... "The Vindaloo is Very Spicy" .... LOL. Great selection of food. Fab. Actually great value for the quality and the selection. The starter was really appetising looking, lots of variety and I like that the poppadoms are obviously hand made, and the selection of dips is novel. Gimme dips! Can't beat curried goat :) Now the Kebab... whoa.... it is huge!
Quality meat on a stick. Love the look of it. Ah, lamb... so the quality evident. I am fond of the BBQ smoke taste. I am blown away by the cauliflower korma and biryanni... amazing. I am now kooking a curry; you have inspired me.
Now the bread... personally, I like the bread like this; it's meant as a vehicle to go with the food, so too crispy and it wouldn't function thus... lots of ghee, garlic and corriander is evident, just what I personally like..... but we're all different I suppose.
Deset looked very nice - as you say, it is really just a sweetener to finish as there was so much food.
I'd go a solid 9.8.... what's your score? 9/10... 'cos of the bread... ouch. Well, you enjoyed, and I enjoyed watching... now where's my prawn tikka masala... oh, just behind me! Nice one.
It was excellent. That was one spicy samosa lol and I completely agree with your comment
Hand made poppadoms? Cooked maybe but doubt from scratch
@@johngibson3837 They're easy to make, especially in a pro kitchen :)
