I've been raised on Beigels, I love them so much Definitely a beautiful snack, loads of lovely cheesecakes and bread. Salt beef beigel is gorgeous

Living in the East End for the first 25 years of my life, me and my friends always ended up there for a late snack after going out. it still remains a wonderfu; place to finish up.

One thing that irritates me is that it is the BEIGAL bake, not a New york BAGEL deli, so why does everyone adopt the American term. Real East Londoners will always call them Beigals (pronounced Buygals).

I went down there on Saturday & had the most amazing Salt Beef Bagel & Apple Strudel & got some Onion Platzels to take home - I give it 10/10!

As to the reviewer that says "best Jewish Bagel" I would like you to know that they are not jewish!

Went there on Saturday - should not be open if they were Jewish.

Anyway to the food. The hygiene was very bad. The food was prepared with their bare hands and the women did not wear hats. The service was so rude that it came a point when I did not want to ask for anything else.

Will never go there again.

Any time I'm craving Salt Beef on rye, this is the place I go. I'm from New York – so I get cravings for this stuff. But over in the states – what is called salt beef in London, is called corned beef in New York. And it's the stuff we use to make Reuben Sandwiches. This bakery is about 40 minutes out of my way, but always worth it. I'm never disappointed and I'm always satisfied. And they load up the rye bread with big hunks of beef.

Unlike that little trendy wannabe place in Covent Garden called Mishkin's – where they only give you two little wafer-thin slices of meat on your sandwich and call it a Reuben, this place on Brick Lane piles on the meat. And that's the way this kind of sandwich is meant to be. Yes, and I'm a big fan of English mustard on this bad-boy.

If you're craving Salt Beef on Rye... look no further. This place is the best in London.

Purchased a egg bagel from here and I have to say it was one of the worst things I've tasted. The egg was black and it contained way too much butter, the bagel itself would have been better on its own..

A sheer delight after a long night shift, as for the service, can't understand your problem. asked for lots of mustard and the reply 'you will cry' with a smile and i did :)

The Salt Beef Bagels are fantastically delicious and competitively priced. I live in Hayes, Middlesex and when I get a craving in the middle of the night, I have to take that familiar drive on the A40 to get to Brick Lane. I know it is miles away but well worth it. Oh, you must try the homemade Minestrone Soup, absolutely delightful and full of flavour. It is something of a treat and is not a patch on any types of fast food.

It is a real shame about the serving staff though who greet you with impatience, sulleness and hostility and throw the food down on the counter at you. Maybe it was just me!

Having read the reviews, I will try the Salt Beef on Rye when I next have a craving.... Looking forward to the next time I eat Salt Beef.

If you fancy a salt beef sandwich, then this IS the place, Ok, I live in London, and always have, I have probably tried most outlets for this special treat, including the "Brass Rail" at Selfridges (£8.00 now) pop in to 159 Brick Lane, ask for a "Salt Beef on Rye" please,and you will be serverd a real delight, the beigels are great , but the sandwich is even better, and all fo £4, great service, great food, oh, and treat yourself to a Rye loaf, to take home with you, it knocks spots off anything you can buy in your local supermarket.
