The food was actually ok but from the minute we arrived until we left we were made to feel as if they were doing us a favour by letting us eat there. They Treated others there badly too making a group sit on two separate tables,refusing to let them pull two tables together. Also they flaty refused to allow a couple in as the lady was in a wheelchair, they said there was no space (There were only 3 tables being used and plenty of space) When the bill came we queried it as it was expensive and illegible. £4each for small bottle of beer and service charge added but not stated. We told them we would not pay the service charge as the service had been so awful, at which point they got very aggressive stating it was law and we had too.They also threaten to call the police. We eventually just left the money for the food, minus service charge, and left. The group in there also were also refusing to pay there service charge due to awful service. Avoid this place there are so many better alternatives. I'm vegetarian but would rather go to a carvery than eat there again!!

What an awful place... We were slightly apprehensive to go in there in the first place because there was only customer eating (Saturday evening in Soho) (always a bad sign in Soho) but were bullied to go in by the doorman. Service was slow and the food quality could be described as (below) 'takeway standard'. For the price we paid for a vegetarian set meal for two, it was a total rip-off. The menu said that a dessert AND coffee would be included in the set meal but that turned out to be just a cheap chocolate bar that you'd get after paying the bill anyway. When challenging the ridiculously overpriced bill, the staff turned very aggressive and started to accuse us. Sounds like other people have had a similar experience with this restaurant. My recommendation: avoid the Golden Oven at any cost ;)
