First time going to this restaurant. Really nice ambience and decent menu. However service could have been a bit more efficient, took a while for us to be served or even asked if we wanted drinks. We waited about 20mins then had to remind them we were waiting - they were polite about it. So it was fine. We didn’t get to see the live band; we asked our waiter and he told us they play on the weekends (Fri - sun). We were hoping as it was two days before Christmas they would have live bands during the week. Nevertheless it was nice overall and we would go back again.

When did paying the bill before any food passes your lips become a thing ? It took half a hour just to place & pay for the order ! Was really excited to be dining at this restaurant but very disappointed on all counts and to top it off we were told we could not place our coats & bags on a empty chair as they were fully booked (which they were clearly NOT). Not a great experience. I will not be returning or recommending unfortunately. Such a shame

Dear Samantha, We're truly sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations and left you feeling disappointed. Regarding the payment process, we understand that this may have felt unusual. Our approach is designed to streamline service, especially on gig nights, but we take your feedback and will review this process. We sincerely apologise for the delay in placing your order, we’ll be addressing this with our team to improve efficiency. We’re sorry for the misunderstanding regarding your coats and bag. We aim to maximise comfort and accommodate everyone, it’s clear that the communication fell short in this instance. Your experience is not reflective of the standard we hold ourselves to, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Best, Team Soul Mama

We reserved a table for brunch and were surprised to be presented with a Christmas menu upon arrival, which differed from the menu displayed on OpenTable. When I asked the waiter if there was another menu, he said no. The Christmas menu was quite expensive—£55 for two dishes and £65 for three—without the added value of live entertainment, unlike other nearby restaurants I've visited in the area. With no alternative offered, we reluctantly ordered two dishes each, though I was already feeling uneasy. Upon checking the OpenTable reservation, I noticed the menu on the app was different, so I approached the manager. The manager apologized and provided another menu. Feeling misled, we decided to cancel the two dishes and order only one dish each instead. Unfortunately, the experience went further downhill. My dish was served quickly, but my companion's order was significantly delayed. After waiting, I ended up eating my meal alone, and the other dish still had not arrived. Frustrated, we decided to cut our losses and asked for the bill, which incorrectly listed two dishes despite only one being served. Based on TikTok reviews, my expectations were high, but this visit fell far short. The service was poor, and the high prices were unjustified. Management needs to better understand pricing, customer service, and the overall dining experience—elements they failed to deliver on this occasion.

Dear Folu, Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologise for the disappointment caused during your visit. We understand your frustration regarding the Christmas menu differing from the one on OpenTable and are reviewing our processes to ensure accuracy across all platforms. The delays in service and billing error are unacceptable and fall short of our standards. We’ve addressed these concerns with our team to prevent future issues. Your feedback on pricing and overall value is appreciated, and we’ll consider it as we refine our offerings. We hope for the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the exceptional experience you deserve. Best, Team Soul Mama

As a party of 30, we had anticipated there might be a logistical issue or two. Pleasantly surprised that any issue was rectified instantly. Staff were low key, unintrusive and efficient. Food flavorful and imaginative, experience was excellent. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening. If you don't know ......... get to know !!

We're so pleased your guests loved the flavourful and imaginative food—it’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to deliver. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. If you don’t know… now you know! Love that! 😊

Disappointing Experience at Soul Momma Stratford My friend and I had eagerly anticipated our dinner at Soul Momma, booked well in advance to celebrate Christmas. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and directed to our table, but unfortunately, the rest of our experience fell short of expectations. The cocktail I ordered tasted off, almost chemical-like, as though the glass hadn’t been properly cleaned. The wine was overpriced, and the food was equally underwhelming. The rice and peas were dry, and the jerk-smoked salmon, though nicely coated, lacked flavor. What made the experience even more frustrating was being asked to pay for our meal halfway through dining, without prior explanation. While I understand that it is a music venue and payment at each stage may be their policy, this detail would have been helpful to know when placing our order. Additionally, as there was no live music that evening and the restaurant was sparsely attended, the interruption felt unnecessary and disrupted our dining experience. It left us feeling undervalued as customers. Sadly, this will be our last visit to Soul Momma. The ambiance and service didn’t match the anticipation, and I would not recommend this restaurant for a special occasion
Soul Mama Music Venue | RestaurantRespondió el 22 de diciembre de 2024
Dear Leonore, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your visit didn’t meet expectations, especially for such a special occasion. We apologise for the cocktail tasting off and the food not meeting our usual standards—your comments on the rice and peas and jerk salmon have been shared with our kitchen team for immediate review. We also regret the miscommunication regarding our payment process. While it is a policy tailored to our venue setup, it should not have ben implemented on a dining only sitting, disrupting your experience and was an error by the member of staff. Please know we take your feedback seriously, we are new and still tweaking our offering. We’d appreciate the chance to welcome you back and provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Soul Mama Team

Great disappointment. Arrived to be put in a corner table near entrance booking right next to staff, table was for 2 when there was 3 of us so our drinks and food could not properly fit on it. £13 a drink which tasted like juice,when I told a waiter the answer was to buy another shot to add to it. My partner is vegetarian so only offer for mains was a Mushroom mixed with pure black pepper & veg which is £23 tasted horrid so he was hungry.By the way when Soul Mama advertised food wise it looks like there is lots on offer as an option, so we were looking forward to trying prawns & other stuff .Handed a different menu with 3 options one was wings. My choice was lambsneck,I was brought oxtail like I don't know the difference at this point I was so hungry I just ate it.The starter literally the only thing called a trio full of salt cost £22 .I was talking in a normal voice when a member of stuff asked me to talk quieter when band was playing so,I saw her do the same to someone else.And to top it all something they don't advertise YOU PAY AS YOU GO WITH FOOD & DRINK! So as your sitting there trying to eat you have to be paying for each thing Madness,not get a bill at end.Young waiters stretching over your food & grabbing your plate before you finish. Imagine I paid £27 to get a cab to what I thought would be Beautiful food & good seating.Our bill for 3 was nearly £150 the only good thing was Jazz playing. Believe me save your money another over priced place with hardly a good portion, no manners only offering an ambience. I wish I could recommend but I do not, we didn't even stay the 2 hours.

Additionally, your feedback about the rushed service and the atmosphere being disrupted has been shared for immediate improvement.
