Mala (2 Marble Key, London, E1W 1UH)

My guest and I had an average starter, served by a very unhappy looking member of staff. I specifically asked for a mild main course without chilli, but the dish that arrived was ‘medium’ (at least) with a strong flavour of chilli! The manager was decidedly dissinterested and rude, despite the staff member agreeing that I had been very clear and it was the chef's mistake, so I preferred not to risk a replacement. The location and interior look excellent, but the atmosphere reflected something seriously wrong; maybe I was just unlucky- but I have heard others saying they've been very disappointed.

Zizzi St Katherine Dock (Unit 12, Ivory House, London, London, E1W 1AT)

Quality service, reliable, tasty food in the most splendid location. The antipasto Zizzi was a great find, and the Calzon Pizza is a glorious combination, big enough for any appetite, and full of different flavours and aromas. Seabass al Vino was perfectly cooked and prepared (+ spiced potatoes were delicious); the House White is very good for the price. Do try the Panettone al Fiorno and ice creams- they are very special! In good weather, outside is ideal, you are right next to the boats and the air is so fresh- (hold your ground if they suggest inside- you can always move in if it gets chilly)!. Upstairs also has a splendid view, and being at the end of Ivory House, you gain an insight of how it must have been years ago. Having eaten there several times, I find the staff welcoming and pleasant, working hard to please- it can get very busy, yet standards are high. Price isn't too bad, cheap if you consider the luxury location.
