About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
Karen's is an interactive diner and an absurdly fun experience. At Karen's you will be greeted and waited upon by rude waiters who in return are expecting you to give it full Karen. A place where you can complain until the cows come home because we literally don't care. You can expect good food, good fun and a dining experience like you've never had before. Let us know if it's your birthday, if your name is Karen and for the love of Karen don't ask to speak to the manager....

    It was really great. I gave 1 star for service because I didn't want to insult the staf :p Really love every minute we spent there. Will definitely will go back when we return to London.

    Not quite sure Karen’s Diner was ready for our family. We had a great entertaining night, the food was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for making my birthday great. Form your fellow Karen. Ps hope you enjoyed my lap dance haha , it’s also so rare to see manager/owner doing so much. He was a great guy.

    I've considered whether or not to write a review because the offer is clearly laid out and you are expecting to have some banter and rudeness. I was expecting it to be funny and witty, and apart from a few comedy moments from the person organizing things it just wasn't. If you're considering taking children at all, don't. We went in the mid afternoon and we're sat near a couple of kids, one had "Should have been a swallow" on her hat and the other had "should have been a stain on the sheet" which I honestly found a bit more than wrong, a bit disturbing really. All the hats had something explicit written on them. It wore very thin very quickly. I had a vegan burger (yeah ok, going to get roasted for that) but it was pretty grim, everything was just over done with grease. In spite of being in conversation with the restaurant beforehand to organise a birthday cake, and they forgot. When it did come it was stale and guess what, "a big c++k" on it. What they have got well sorted is that you won't complain because you'll just get called a b**ch (which also wore thin after an hour of the same retorts) In short, I was expecting a great laugh, ended up creeped out and feeling unpleasant. Was actually a bit embarrassed to have organised this for a birthday gathering. Am fully expecting to get a "funny" reply from the diner. It's actually not very me to write a negative review but I really felt strongly about what kids were exposed to so I've said what I've said!

    A very funny experience and great acting from Karen( aka Shannon) The food was great, we had “karen wants it all”. An open mind needed, well worth a visit.

    I find it unfathomable that there is a demand for a restaurant where the waiting staff go out of their way to be rude to their customers. Sometimes excessively so. However, other diners were clearly enjoying their experience, so perhaps I'm in the minority. I am glad I at least tried it, but I won't be returning for a further round of insults.
