I really really really want to love this place as it represents how products should all be natural.. and I don't mean the ones that say natural and are actually full of cancer causing chemicals, the ingredients in this items are not going to kill you.
I have bought a handful of items here over time. A spray deodorant.. that doesn't work, it might as well be a natural perfume. Shampoo that I was told that wouldn't make my hair oily, and it is so oily I might just chop it off at this point.. and mineral eyeliner that I was excited to see (since all eye liner being sold in mainstream stores is cancer causing and being placed right near the eye), BUT it does go on properly.
Maybe this is the price you pay for going natural, but I know it isn't because I have purchased other items of much higher quality and for cheaper prices. I think they may need to fine tune there items. I feel like asking for my money back since it isn't cheap.

Loved the food here. We ordered a bunch of food for the table. Vegetarians heaven. Perfect Falafals. The only bummer was that they kept turning down the lights and and the music (which was live) got so loud we couldn't even talk. My ears where ringing when I left. I love live music but I like to talk to my friends too :)

Quick, i have a hangover and I need pizza pronto. This place came up on a google search and I decided to order from them. I got a massive pizza for $8. It was ok, you can tell it was a cheap pizza with cheap ingredients. It did the job, but I probably won't be a repeat customer.

I was really excited to discover this place near my home.. a veggie burger! Yah! I know they are known for their beef burgers, so I didn't expect to much.
I started off with a chocolate shake..i was just craving one. It was good. But of course that meant I couldn't finish my massive burger. I got it with aged cheddar for a topping. It was good, not amazing. I think next time I would get it with some more sauce toppings. The bun was a bit dry which could border line ruin the meal but it was ok. We ordered potato wedges to share and they where good as well. Service was excellent.
It was a bit pricey. I think they have a lunch special of 6.50.. that sounds more reasonable.

This is one of my all time favorite Indian restaurants in the world. I even like it better then actual food I had in India. It wasn't cheap though. I even saw a couple of famous stars here..if you even care about that stuff.. at least they have good taste.

Tucked away a couple of blocks from Mile End station is this rather hip gastropub. Recommended by many of the locals I had to give it a whirl one friday night for dinner and drinks. I was not disappointed with my vegetarian tart. My friends weren't that thrilled with their pasta, but that is why I don't order pasta!
It got really busy, which is totally cool except that we had to yell to talk to each other, and my ears where ringing when I left which either makes me old, or it makes the pubs acoustics really unbearable.

Well Triyoga Soho, your the first studio in London that I have been to that offers spray bottles to wipe down your mat! Congrats on the hygiene part.. accept that no one knows about it, so awareness seems to be next step.
I attended a workshop here and it was packed full! I loved the location in the court yard, very cute, and cozy.

Anyways i ordered a falfael sandwich and crispy french fries and a lemonade for 7£.. which you think would mean you could sit in and enjoy your meal, but you need to pay an extra £1 for that.. I am new here, but that kind of pisses me off.
It was good though and I would eat here again in a pinch.

Wonderful studio. I just did a master class here and it was really challenging, but great. Great customer service. It is a little hard to get to from a tube stop, but a nice place to go and make a day of it.
My only beef is that the clientele, bless their snobby local selves, don't smile, and are not interested in engaging each other. Hopefully yoga will change that one day since being affluent doesn't mean being cold.

*No one cleans the mats after use, there isn't even product anywhere to clean the mats? What's up London? It is an epidemic here!

Cute pub, with great service. The bar man couldn't tell me about the beers though. My beer came and it was luke warm, but it was a nice beer. It would have been nicer if it was cold. It was a little on the loud side with the music and many people talking.
