Excellent concept. Menu is limited but everything was perfectly executed and well priced. Not my favourite type of atmosphere as they aim to be buzzy and convivial. Music is a little loud and people raise their voices to be heard above it.
We both had the flat iron steak for a tenner. I wasn't worried about mine, because I like my steak rare. My companion ordered his medium to well done which can be tricky for this cut. The flat iron is a very flavorful piece of meat but not particularly tender. His steak was perfectly cooked with a little pink blush and surprisingly soft as well. The waiter commented that they manage to produce tender flat irons that are cooked almost well done because they are brined for 24 hours. The steaks are served thinly sliced against the grain which also helps with respect to tenderness. Expert handling of this cut of meat.
The steaks came with zingy green salads of land cress dressed with a tasty mustard laced vinaigrette. I had the bearnaise sauce which was redolent with lots of tarragon. My companion had the horseradish cream which was pleasant too. Creme fraiche mixed with horseradish.
Our beef dripping chips were good. Cut a little thin for my taste but very crisp, so fried at sufficiently high temperature. I wouldn't order our other side of roast aubergine with tomato and mozarella again. Not unpleasant, but under seasoned, uniformly squishy and missing the punch of garlic or herbs.
The house red at £18 a bottle was very nice. Dinner for two including service was £54. If we hadn't bothered with the bland aubergine side a lovely steak dinner would have been just shy of fifty quid including wine and service which is a great deal.
Loved the concept, the food and the service. Menu is very simple, the steak of the day with a side salad. A few options for the sauce and most of all easy on the pocket. Service is great and staff is awesome

You know it's good when it's the only item on the menu! You gotta try this place if you're visiting! And for sides, I would recommend the creamy spinach, Today's market greens and the Aubergine! ABSOLUTELY YUM. Oh and take the waiters advice and order your meat in medium :)
I recently visited Flat Iron and had a truly delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, even though there was a 30-minute wait for our table, our details were promptly taken. While we strolled around Shoreditch, we received a text notification just 15 minutes later to inform us that our table was ready.
Once we were seated in the cosy atmosphere, the staff proved to be exceptionally friendly, and the food was nothing short of amazing. I opted for the well-done Flat Iron steak, which was served with delicious fries. However, I must highly recommend the garlic mash, which we got to share. I wasn't too keen on the macaroni, even though I didn't order it – but hey, sharing is caring, right? 😄
In summary, Flat Iron didn't disappoint in the slightest. To top it off, they provided these adorable chopper knife tokens, which you could exchange for a delectable free ice cream. Thank you, Flat Iron, for a truly memorable dining experience!
First time customer. I've always heard of Flat Iron and finally went here with my sister. The steak was amazing and cooked perfectly. The sides of truffle mac and cheese and chips were delicious. We were given a cup of fresh popped Popcorn 🍿 which was a nice start to the meal. We ended the meal with these cute little carving knife tokens to get an ice cream 🍦 cone to eat on the way home. The ice cream tasted like the one you get from the ice cream van. I'll definitely be back again. I'll probably get a cocktail next time.
A must go!!!! I am sure all locations are nicely done. What a great concept!! The flat iron is really good. Really good service and full surprises from the arrival to the end! We had the flat Iron with peppercorn sauce and the mac and cheese.
This is a must visit place.
We had a wonderful time at this Flat Iron when we stayed for a couple days in London. Food is fantastic, Flat Iron steak, Scottish bavette, Crispy bone marrow garlic mash, Creamed spinach, Truffled macaroni cheese and Chips.
Also to mention the popcorn as a starter!
Excellent. Service very good. The hostess was very kind and of course we had ice cream when we left.
Prices are also very good for what you get.
Worth recommending! To be honest, a must!!
Filipino waiter asked us to wait (more then half of restaurant was empty) then we been seated 🌝
1-Bavete :
Region of steak, nothing special, I wouldn’t order it u. Future
2-Cheeseburger:
Nice, there is a sweat taste, again nothing unique
3-Spinach cream:
I didn’t like it
4-Bone marrow mash:
Too garlic
5-Rosted Aubrrgine:
Special, taste like Lasagne
6-French fries:
Perfect
Mayo chilli sauce:
Not chilli, good
Service is slow little bit, staff need to be more attentive and initiative
Free ice cream delicious
Great spot for a reasonably priced dinner for central London. Staff are friendly and attentive, took a chance and walked in with no reservation and was accommodated within 10 minutes. Complimentary beef dripping popcorn whilst you wait for food and ice cream after dinner is a great touch.
The staff are super lovely and attentive. They have great knowledge of the menu 👍🏻 I had the bavette steak with mash and salad and it was amazing! Left with a happy and very full belly, will definitely come back again ❤️
It’s as good as people say! First of all, the customer service was fantastic! Our waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable and happy to advise on the menu based on our preference. The sirloin steak was melt-in-your mouth. The sides were to die for, the truffled mac&cheese was a delight, the beed drippings chips were addictive, the steak sauces were delicious. The free ice cream at the end was very good quality and had a caramel note. Normally when restaurants give you free stuff it’s normally bad quality but at Flat Iron both the free popcorn and free ice cream were great! The prices were reasonable so the overall experience was worth it!
Food is absolutely brilliant here, and a very good value. Went for a meal with 3 drinks and spent £45 including service. Good with allergies and no complaints with the service. Atmosphere was quiet but went at 16:45 started to pick up at 17:30.
My partner and I have visited a couple of Flat Iron restaurants in London, but this was by far the best! The food was perfect, there was such a comfortable and fun environment and all the staff were so unbelievably friendly!! A massive shoutout to Antimo for giving us the best date my partner and I have been on in years!! It was his birthday and he couldn’t stop talking about how perfect it was! Our waiter Alexe was also so welcoming and funny too! It was honestly the perfect evening and my partner had the BEST birthday!! We love you Flat Iron!!
Came here for lunch with a friend and it was the best choice we made. Such a nice and relaxed atmosphere and the customer service couldn’t be faulted. Our server Samuel made sure that we were taken care of and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Very hip steakhouse with a cool concept in Shoreditch! The flat iron steak is great and the service is great - we even got offered complimentary ice cream! A London staple for sure✨
Welcoming and warm, delicious food, great service, and amazing prices. The Vesuvian tomatoes were exceptional, the spinach delicious, the mac and cheese simply scandalous. The flat iron steaks incredible value and quality. Everything was outstanding!
Such a fun concept! #bringtothestates service and meal were both lovely. We each enjoyed our own steaks and selected a side each. The truffle Mac n cheese was amazing! Steak was tender and cooked to order. Service was top notch and even gave us tips on other places to dine in the city!
Me and my partner were walking around Shoreditch and decided last minute to have some food. We would never thought that randomly choosing a famous place would bring us so much joy and satisfaction and in such a short visit! And that’s what happened at Flat Iron Shoreditch! The staff was so kind and attentive to us from the moment we stepped in until we walked away. The manager at the door took us to a nice corner table, with a big smile on his face and a cup full of delicious popcorn, making sure we were feeling comfy and at home. The waiter gracefully took over the service and was well prepared to recommend us his favorites on the menu. The lovely smokey smell coming from the kitchen just made us more hungry! And good thing it did, because everything we had was so tasteful and well prepared. But big shot out to the Bavette and the mac n cheese! These were spectacular! And when we thought we couldn’t take no more… There was the ice cream!
The whole experience was 5 out of 5 stars. What a lovely surprise for a Monday night. Can’t wait to be back for another round. Thanks everyone!!
Five stars all throughout! I can't fault the food, service, and atmosphere! It was so good that we ate it twice (2 different locations) during our stay in London!
Came for my partners birthday and was blown away by the hospitality. Our server Reuben, was friendly happy and very attentive, couldn’t have done more for us. The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced, 100% the best flat iron we’ve ever been to, couldn’t recommend it more.
Five stars won’t even justify how great Flat Iron restaurant is! We waited for a short while, but it’s totally worth it. The staff were friendly and professional. They gave us free popcorn to get started, and my husband loved how tasty the popcorn was. They were very knowledgeable about steak. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was amazing for beers and steaks. I loved their cute little steak knives. The sides were amazing, and the green salad was super tasty and fresh. For $12, we could get a juicy and tender flat iron steak. No where else I’ve been to could beat this price with better steak. We got sauce, but the steaks were delicious by themselves. In fact, we were completely satisfied with the original taste of the salt and butter steak. We gave the sauce a try just in case we like it with sauce. When my family are in this area, Flat Iron will be where we go for steak before any other place. They provided free ice cream in a crispy cone at the end of our visit, which ended the fabulous experience in a sweet note. Thank you for running such a great restaurant!
Food was very good and the service is fast and friendly. Only slight niggle was my friend's medium rare steak was as done as my medium. Maybe order rare if you want things in that side of doneness.
Will deffinitly go back sometime though.
