Polished hotel restaurant-bar with friendly service and a versatile, modern-European menu; good for roasts, salmon, cocktails, and the terrace, but pricing and service speed can fluctuate.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Elondi delivers reliable quality competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants, anchored by strong food quality in salmon and roasts and attentive service with memorable personal touches. Inconsistent execution—occasional slow pacing and dish misses—and a pleasant but not destination-defining setting keep it from grade A territory, though the warm, polished atmosphere and family-friendly approach make it a solid choice for hotel guests and pre-show dining.
Restaurant Summary
Set inside the Hyatt by Westfield Stratford, Elondi feels warm and polished without the stuffiness. Guests talk about servers who remember occasions and little gestures like a birthday treat, and one diner noted, "the salmon came out perfectly cooked with flawless mash." The bar and terrace add a relaxed, modern buzz, great for a pre-show drink before ABBA Voyage. Do expect occasional slower pacing at busy times. The kitchen leans modern European with a comfort-first mindset rather than fireworks: think roasts, salmon with béarnaise, burgers, and a tikka masala alongside creative cocktails. It is ingredient-led and approachable, with the steaks carrying a premium while fish and roasts draw the most reliable praise. Cocktails, particularly the zodiac signatures, are a highlight when fully available; some menus rotate seasonally, so flexibility helps. Families fit in easily here. The room has space for prams, and the menu covers kid-friendly ground like burgers, fish and chips, penne or spaghetti with simple sauces, and fries. Even picky eaters can find a match, while adults can keep it interesting with roasts or salmon. If your child prefers very plain food, stick to the pasta, chips, and classic mains listed on the current menu.
