Vietnamese street-food specialist known for its 'Pho' noodle dishes

Just had the best experience at Pho in Westfield! 🌟 Super friendly service, brilliant atmosphere, and the food? 🔥 Spot on!
it was rich, flavorful, and totally hit the spot. Drinks were fab too!

Highly recommend this spot for a fab night out 😇

The pho was really flavourful, fresh, and comforting — definitely a great bowl. The service was slightly on the slower side, but the staff were still friendly and the food was worth the wait. A nice spot for a warm, tasty meal while shopping. Would come back!

This Pho restaurant is situated in the Westfield shopping centre
Terribly disappointed with this food.
I have tried the Vietnamese  spring rolls that were so tasteless and so terribly done. I would not recommend eating there ditto for the warm wine!!
The photos will say it all: if this restaurant cannot make what I consider the most basic spring roll then please step out of the way!
The service was good though

I recently visited Pho, a restaurant known for its Vietnamese cuisine. They offer a wide variety of dishes, which is great, but I did notice that halal options are quite limited. However, after speaking with the staff, we found out that the chicken is halal and they were accommodating enough to prepare the broth using vegetable stock upon request.

We decided to go with that option, and I have to say, the food didn’t disappoint. The broth was flavorful, light yet rich, and paired perfectly with the tender chicken and fresh herbs. It was a comforting and satisfying meal.

While I do wish they had more halal choices on the menu, the staff’s willingness to adjust the dish to suit our needs was appreciated. If you’re looking for Vietnamese food in Stratford and require halal options, it’s worth having a quick chat with the team — they seem quite flexible.

Would definitely go back to explore more of their menu!

Amazing experience. Food is fresh, clean and tasty! The service is amazing because everyone has such positive energy! Christy and the team will always look after you, with a smile! You can always rely on pho! Highly recommend, always come here for heart warming Vietnamese cuisine.

Our chicken is Halal and cooked separately from other meat. Our chicken broth however is not always Halal, so if you order a chicken soup please ask for veggie stock.

Casual Thai eatery with group tables and benches

Busaba Westfield Stratford

Visited Busaba for the first time - we are visiting UK from Australia & thoroughly enjoyed our Thai meal. Christy was a delight & very caring as to our needs. If I had a criticism it was the satay chicken was not hot but the flavour & tenderness was exceptional. Soup was sensational as was duck dish. Enjoyed a few dishes & considering we came across the restaurant by chance we were extremely happy with the end result. Highly recommend. It’s shared tables but personally we found the concept fun. And Kevvy & Tilly ( yes little koala friends -  @kevvytillyontour ) loved the mango sorbet & Coconut icecream!!! Will definitely go back when next in UK. Thank you Christy. Best wishes

The restaurant even though states Thai, it is more cross Thai-Indo Chinese. Went there for lunch.

Menu has decent choice, limited for veggies.

Food was really good, pork rice was tasty would have liked the sauce to be stickier and a bit more punchy, the roti was crispy. Thai green curry was vibrant.

Service was good. Seating whilst comfortable, it was a bit awkward stepping over a large long bench.

Not the cheapest though. The à la carte menu is a tad pricey for lunch.

The main dishes my partner and I had were good. We also ordered the calamari to share, and although the flavour was nice, it was soggy and barely room temperature, as if it had been sitting out for a while. We ended up not finishing it.

The service felt very minimal, we had to ask several times for water, and only received it halfway through our main course.

I had the most wonderful experience at Busaba in Westfield Stratford - truly a 5-star restaurant with a 5-star service!. The food was absolutely delicious, vibrant, and of the highest quality, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting with beautiful mellow lighting and elegant ceiling fans that added to the ambience.
As a wheelchair user, dining out can sometimes be difficult and I often feel like an inconvenience, but not here. I was looked after by the Manager Andrew, who provided outstanding service from start to finish. He was polite, helpful, and attentive, and he made me feel more than welcome. It's a joy and pleasure (though not often these days) to get service with a smile from people who clearly enjoy and love the job they do and take pride in doing the best job they can. Andrew catered to all my needs, including ensuring easy access to the accessible restroom, which made a world of difference to my experience.
Compliments also to the chef, who did an amazing job - every dish was so tasty and full of flavour, and beautifully presented. So whether you're stopping for a light lunch or celebrating a special occasion, this is an amazing place to come.
Busaba has quickly become one of my favourite places to visit, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Top quality food, outstanding service, and a truly welcoming atmosphere - everything you could ask for in a restaurant.

I was here for a Sunday late lunch. I have to say all the food is really Thai. Recommend to order shrimps because that is tempura kind and it’s good as a starter. The pad Thai is slightly sour than the usual version I had in Thailand but overall taste is still quite good. Among all the restaurants in the food court, I think busaba is the outstanding one.

Most of our chicken dishes are halal! Just check with the manager on duty to find out which ones.

Balans East

Went there for brunch, they serve plenty of options for breakfast and brunch. Vegan and vegetarian options are available. Also there is nice outside seating. Overall great experience with delicious food

The staff is good and the vibes are nice. The lower rating is specifically for food based on the steak and eggs that I got:
- I felt like the oil used for the potatoes wasn’t fresh/high quality… you could taste it!
- I didn’t like that the chimichurri was made in a blender or food processor. I like to taste the chopped up herbs, and when it’s blended you barely get anything
The steak was good and the eggs were fine.

I love that they have the breakfast menu all day here, the staff is friendly. The last time I ate at Balans in Kensington, they said they stop serving breakfast after 5, which was a bit disappointing for me.

I love the pancakes with Korean fried chicken. The chicken was crispy, the pancake was fluffy, although I wish we had more sauce. The veggie with a hint of kimchi was subtle and not overpowering. I added extra bacon, which made it perfect.

i was skeptical and had my reservations due to all the negative reviews, but this meal was fantastic.

i ordered the fried chicken pancakes and everything was full of flavour! meal arrived piping hot and the portion size was brilliant. the pancakes were such a lovely texture, and i’m not even usually a fan of these american style ones.

the food also arrived quickly as well, in about 10 mins total. my friend ordered the full english breakfast and she really enjoyed that too. 5 stars ⭐️

I’ve visited Balans Soho Stratford numerous times and have usually had good to great service. Unfortunately, today was a completely different experience — ranging from poor to downright terrible.

We arrived and were not greeted upon entry. Despite noting dietary requirements in our reservation, it was clear these had not been checked or acknowledged.

Once seated, we waited about 10 minutes before needing to flag someone down just to get menus. From there, it was a constant effort: flagging someone again for water, again for glasses, and then again to place our order. When I gave some initial feedback to our server, there was no apology or acknowledgment — he simply brought the glasses without a word.

The food, sadly, didn’t make up for the poor service.
•	My steak was ordered medium but arrived medium rare, and lacked any seasoning.
•	My wife’s lobster Benedict had decent flavour, but the crumpets underneath were rock solid.
•	Still hungry, we ordered the chicken katsu donut burger, which was bland and flavourless — we had to douse it in Cholula just to get any taste out of it.

Our first visit to this location was the complete opposite. A kind gentleman went out of his way to accommodate my pregnant wife by moving the table to make her more comfortable — that was truly a 10/10 experience. This visit, though, would be a 3/10 at best.

To be clear, no one was outright rude — but the warmth and attentiveness that once made this place a favourite were completely absent. When we ordered, the restaurant was barely a third full, so there was no excuse for the lack of attention. Strangely, the same server seemed much more engaged with other tables, which left us wondering if something about us put him off.

At the end of the meal, I asked to have the service charge removed. The manager was sympathetic and did remove it without hesitation — which I appreciated — but I have to say, I don’t like being asked why I’m choosing to remove it. Service charges should not be automatically added to the bill. Businesses should pay their staff a fair wage or factor service costs into menu prices instead of putting the burden on customers to top up wages through discretionary fees.

Regrettably, I don’t think we’ll be returning. It’s a real shame, as this used to be one of our go-to brunch spots.

The chicken and beef across all our locations is now Halal. Halal ingredients are handled and prepared separately to avoid any cross contamination. Please ask a member of staff for more details.

@halalfoodtherapy's review of Popeyes Stratford on Instagram

📍Popeyes, Stratford

This has been on my list literally since the day it opened. Every time I’ve been to Stratford I’ve taken a walk past to check the queues which FINALLY are starting to reduce. My husband saw a viral tweet of their spicy burger being “too hot” and as king and queen of spice (yes I did just say that), we had to check it out!

#naziaate:
➜ Spicy chicken sandwich deluxe meal - £8.95
➜ Biscuit + cajun gravy - £1.95
➜ 12 x hot wings - £8.95

Wings – soo nice, super flavoursome and crispy – probably the only thing I would return for.

Spicy chicken sandwich – you call that spicy? I didn’t rate at all, the chicken was dry and honestly not spicy at all – im not sure if I even received the spicy burger tbh? It was very bland, I couldn’t taste the herbs and spices they use in the chicken batter. I found it really dry if I’m honest which was such a shame bc of how much I enjoyed the chicken wings – a no from me.

Biscuit – the biscuit is basically a savoury scone. My was dryyyyyyy and super crumbly, I found it really hard to break off and dip into the gravy because it was so dry it just kept flaking off – another firm no from me.

Chips – the chips were good, I liked the seasoning.

Cajun gravy – this was really good! Super flavoursome.

I’ve seen so many varying reviews for Popeyes so I genuinely think your food will taste different depending on the day of the week and how busy it is. I wouldn’t be opposed to going again although I really don’t think it was worth the money (or hype which makes me sad bc I was soo eager to try!).

Have you been before? How was your visit? #naziaeats #naziaeatsout #naziaeatsburgers

@naziaeats's review of Popeyes Stratford on Instagram

I checked out the New @popeyesuk that's just opened up in Romford. The fast food fried chicken chain famous in the US. They have a location that opened Stratford but I've actually never been to that.

I visited yesterday and it was the first day. I was impressed with the customer service, they seemed to go out of their way to make sure everyone had a good experience.

Food wise its more pricer than kfc but the food definitely is of a better standard.

I definitely recommend the spicy chicken deluxe burger. It as a massive tender and juicy bit of chicken. The breading was crunchy, thick and packed full of flavour. I'd go back for that. Really good chicken burger.

Also got a chicken sandwich, which was good but didn't compare to the deluxe burger.

I ordered some signature 3 peice of chicken (the girl out the tills made a mistake and gave me tenders) they fixed this error very quickly and didn't charge me for the chicken I wanted and I kept the tenders. Bosd man gave me 4 peices as well.

I thought the tenders were great and worth getting. I was surprised with the size of the chicken drums, it almost looked like a wing or maybe a baby chicken. Tasted good nevertheless, I really like the crunchy texture of the chicken here.

The milkshakes and fried are good as well. No complaints with the food or service here, food came out within 10mins. If you are local Romford definitely check this spot out. 

All chicken is halal. No alcohol. I paid for my meal.

@halalfoodguy's review of Popeyes Stratford on Instagram

I got @popeyesuk delivered in West London! Here's what I thought

Popeyes Louisiana Chicken

Not sure of the name the young lady that works the morning shift at the front counter but her service is impeccable. A very gracious and welcoming individual. On both occasions that I ordered my food online for pick up she was very professional and kind. Unknowingly I own my own franchise food outlet and I would love if my employees were this welcoming. Customer service is something that many companies take for granted.

4.5 stars for staffs
4 stars for food
Nothing special about food, just average like other fast food restaurants.
Thanks to Joyel for briefing me about offers and helping me with order.
I got 3 wings free.
👉About food- Burger was massive with crispy chicken tender (but oily) and soft buns, I like the flavour and it was really spicy. Would recommend to try spicy.
Oreo shake was excellent ( Basically shake comes at £4.25 but if you order meal box having cold drinks then you can replace drink with Oreo by paying £2.5 extra instead of £4.25 actual price)
👉 Service - Good, 3 -4 screen for placing orders and by scanning QR code as well.
Staffs are good, helpful, and quick.
Note- Stratford centre city is always busy so first grap and seat and order your food.
👉Price- More or less same like other brands. But affordable if compared with location
#HALAL - Food is halal here.

I've ordered signature fried chicken and one piece of chicken was off! Smelled of fish and tasted rancid, luckily I realised straightaway.. otherwise could get very serious food poisoning. Be careful when eating here.

*downgrading from the original

***check your takeaway before leaving!!

They have a staff standing at the waiting area to “guide” customers to give the rating. It was awkward - how do I rate before getting the food? I did it anyway because the staff member was looking at my screen.

I wouldn’t have modified the rating if everything went well, but only found out the miss the food after I got home. Can’t believe they put resources to get customer rating on the internet before service quality control! Feel like get robbed. £7.29 for only two chicken pieces!

And they stopped offering number of best seller options: spicy flavour of chicken, and buffalo sauce.

Had a great experience at Popeyes Stratford. Food was tasty and came out fresh and fast. Shakel at front of house was brilliant — really friendly, welcoming and made the visit even better. Will definitely be coming back!

We recognise that different folks have different tastes and needs, everybody is welcome. Which is why all of our chicken is Halal at our Stratford restaurant and our halal certification from the Halal Monitoring Board will be available in our restaurant.

Authentic, traditional street food of India

Indi-go Rasoi Westfield Stratford

I'm torn about my recent visit to Indi Go in Westfield. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was lovely. I ordered the Lamb Biryani, expecting a flavorful explosion, but what I got was... yellow rice with lamb. And I mean, it was just that. No aroma, no spices, no depth of flavor. It was like they'd taken all the flavor out of the dish and left me with a plate of bland, uninspiring food.

Maybe I just had a bad day, but considering the price point, I'd expect a bit more. If they sorted out the kitchen, Indi Go could be a solid option.

I ordered the mix grill / mix platter. My experience has been terrible. The lamb chop was fine, the tikka was cold and tasted re-heated. The rice was cooked terrible & was hard, it tasted like re-heated multiple times. The Kebab was awfully prepared, it was cold.
Overall: the worst India food I have even had in London, Stratford area.
Not recommended at all !!

Chicken and lamb biryani very tasty and spicy. Side raitha too sweet (no need for added sugar).
Went on a Friday afternoon so not as busy which probably helped. Food tasted fresh, no complaints.

Had the wrap platter today and the food was totally saltless & not properly warm. When I told that inside wrap is totally saltless the guy(thinner) one didn’t attend my queries properly. One the side  chips was there. Those were not fresh+ over fried & full of spice. After having the food had stomach pain. The lady on the till was laughing with her colleagues and attention for the customer was 0. I had worst food in the westfield today for the first time in last 5 years. In this restaurant this the first time & last time forever for me. People comes in shopping center doesn’t means they are bound to come in your shop. Try to give proper customer service & attention otherwise very soon your business will be disappear from there. Total waste of money👇

Today I walked past this restaurant and saw a man standing on the tables wearing only socks. I honestly don’t understand how something like this can happen in 2025. It’s extremely unprofessional and reflects very poorly on the restaurant and its staff. I felt embarrassed just seeing it. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable, and I hope the management takes action to improve their standards.

All meat on our menu is Halal. No pork or alcohol served.

Food: The Nachos were a brilliant starter choice. N ordered the Chimichurri Rib-Eye Steak which we both enjoyed a lot. He asked for it to be cooked medium which is our usual choice. I ordered the Spicy Malagueta Chicken Skewer which, to my delight, wasn’t dry at all. I asked for the Churassco Fries (yum) as my side and N requested the Cassava Fries (avoid!) Service: no complaints.

@twopeasfoodies's review of Cabana Stratford on Instagram

Quick bite after the cinema. Spicy Malagaueta chicken wings. £6.95 for a portion of 5 wings. For me this is enough for dinner, no need to spend 18 quid for a full meal. Good tasting wings.

@halalfoodguy's review of Cabana Stratford on Instagram

Cabana

Food is not very tasty and over priced for the quality and side quantity (22£ for that plate of thin chicken breast, fries, salad). Will not return. It is a shame as the Decoration is beautiful and it is a place I would love to have dinner for the atmosphere. Service could be improved with smile and friendliness.

From the warm welcome at reception to the food, everything was superb.
The dishes with their little pots of flavours were excellent.
The only slight downside, and it really is only slight, was the temperature inside the restaurant, which also affected the temperature of the food, depending on your point of view.
The background music also warms up  the atmosphere and sets the mood.
The decor is very nice.
Otherwise, we recommend this restaurant 1000%, which is number 1 on our list of establishments visited in Stratford (95%).

Came for lunch, really enjoyed it. Spacious inside with funky tunes and open kitchen providing all the atmosphere. We had one of each taco, big bowl of padron peppers, the gorgeous bean stew and winning casava with truffle + parm. Great price with offer; want the tomahawk next 😋
Shout out Aisha who was perfect professional waitress.

Great food and atmosphere, and our waitress Robin really took care of us. We really enjoyed the grilled chicken with spicy malagueta sauce and surprisingly, the salad dressing — it had a faint hint of alcohol (sherry maybe?) and didn’t taste like an afterthought but a considered component of the meal. I didn’t really expect much from a chain restaurant but they pleasantly surprised me. Would come back if I’m in Stratford again.

Usha was so sweet and welcoming. Food was decent especially tacos were tasty. Great ambience and lovely music. Thanks to usha for great service.Would definitely recommend. Will come back for sure

All our chicken is Halal as is our rib eye, and lamb.

Rhythm Kitchen Stratford

One of the best curry’s I’ve had in a while. The smell alone drew us in. I ordered the curry goat, the meat was cooked to perfection and it fell apart in your mouth - was full of flavour. The staff were friendly and wonderful. A great place to stop and eat at a good price! Highly recommended.

Soul Food Jerk

Learn this term from 'Come Dine with Me'.

Finally got a chance to try.  Tea and coffee stain teeth.  While other drinks are either too cold or too sweet.

So I didn't hesitate when seeing chicken soup in the menu.  £8.95 got a jumbo hot soup without bread roll.  Good news for people with keto diet or type 2 diabetes.

The soup was full of chicken and different vegetables inside.  Genuinely rich in flavour.  Didn't feel thirsty after the soup either.

I will come back to try other things in the menu.  And more chicken soup too.

It's a very popular restaurant so be prepared to queue.

Been going here for years and pretty much is my goto when in Westfields Stratford.  The portion sizes are humongous and delicious.

Just wish they would have a full restaurant outside with more seating.  They can easily compete on food quality with those that are out there!

Rhythm Kitchen offers a genuine and delicious escape to Jamaica.  It's a must visit for anyone craving authentic Jamaican flavours, hearty portions, and a vibrant atmosphere.  We have been to Westfield Shopping Centre many times before and never notice this restaurant until today (28 July 2025).  My daughter and I tried their food for the first time and we loved it! The curry goat was tender, rich and deeply flavourful.  The BBQ ribs were smoky and satisfyingly succulent. The gungo  rice and peas were fluffy and nice. The fried plantain was sweet and caramelised just the way we like it. The steamed veg was nicely done. Our meals were completed with 2 bottles of mango and carrot topical rhythm drink, which were cold and refreshing. This culinary experience was absolutely spot-on, and having us planning our next journey back to try out the other dishes.

The lovely Harini served me and advice me about the best dish of the day. She was lovely, kind and polite. The food absolutely out of this world. Falling in love with Jamaican food 😍😍😍

Nando's Westfield Stratford City

Nando’s at Westfield Stratford is truly outstanding! The management is professional and attentive, and the staff are always polite, respectful, and welcoming. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal. The food is beautifully presented, with excellent design and style, and tastes absolutely delicious. Every detail shows great care and quality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was so hungry that I completely forgot to take a photo before starting to eat!

This experience was deeply upsetting and extremely disappointing, especially as it was meant to be our first visit to Nando’s. 😡

My friend and I arrived very close to 10:00 PM, which we later understood to be the restaurant’s closing time. Had we been told honestly at the entrance that the tills were about to close or that the restaurant was closing imminently, we would have gladly chosen another day. We wanted a calm, enjoyable first experience and completely respect staff wanting a smooth close.

However, once we were allowed inside, what followed was unacceptable and distressing.

We were immediately told we were the last customers and then rushed aggressively. Before we even had the chance to sit properly, we were told we had only five minutes to place our order because the tills were closing and that we must go to the till ourselves. As first-time customers unfamiliar with the menu or ordering process, this created instant pressure and anxiety. We were not even given two minutes to properly read the menu or understand how ordering works.

At the till, the behaviour of staff members Ibukun and Anna was particularly poor. Our basic questions were ignored, and the attitude we were met with was cold, dismissive, and unprofessional. There was no patience, no explanation, and no willingness to help. We were made to feel like an inconvenience rather than customers who had just been allowed into the restaurant.

Despite feeling uncomfortable, we chose not to argue and proceeded with the order. When the food arrived, it was placed on the table without a single word no indication of where to find cutlery, napkins, sauces, or what to do if we needed anything. The server simply walked away. As first-time customers, this lack of basic guidance was frustrating and embarrassing.

To be absolutely clear: we understand closing-time pressures. What we do not understand and cannot accept is being allowed entry and then treated with such rushed, careless, and indifferent service. If staff are unwilling to serve customers arriving close to closing time, the respectful and professional approach is to politely refuse entry. We would not have minded that at all.

Instead, we were left feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and genuinely upset. This experience was not just disappointing it ruined what should have been an enjoyable first impression of a well-known brand. The level of service we received falls far below what is acceptable for Nando’s.

Management seriously needs to review staff behaviour and how late-evening customers are handled at this location. No customer deserves to be made to feel like a burden simply for walking in.

⭐☆☆☆☆ – Very Disappointing Experience

Visited Nando’s at Westfield Stratford around 9:55 PM after shopping and a movie. Although we were allowed in as the “last customers,” the service was rushed and unwelcoming from the start.

We were told to order at the till without explanation. The staff member at the till was dismissive, avoided eye contact, and ignored questions about portion sizes. No drinks menu was offered, and we weren’t given time to apply a Perkbox discount due to how rushed the interaction was.

When food arrived, it was dropped at the table and the staff walked away immediately. We were not told where to find sauces, cutlery, or tissues, and the sauce station was already being cleaned. There were no spoons available either.

Despite paying full price, we felt rushed, ignored, and treated like an inconvenience, while other customers appeared to receive better service. We left still hungry and very disappointed. This was my first visit to Nando’s, and unfortunately it will also be my last at this location.

I usually love nandos but this place was chaotic, soo crowded, soo many people. The food was ok, chicken was a bit burnt, but the food came quickly after we ordered.

Been living nearby and noticed loads of locals come here, so had to give Nando’s a try. Totally get the hype now — loads of sauce options and you can really customise the flavour.
That said, the chicken breast was a bit on the dry side and kinda stuck in my teeth, which was a shame. Still, it’s a solid, reliable spot for a casual meal, especially if you’re in the area.

Eat-in and takeaway restaurant, part of small chain, serving soft, filled tortillas and burritos.

Tortilla Stratford

Love love Tortilla but shame about the staff in the Westfield Stratford site.
Some of the women on the service line are so miserable and lack customer service skill making it a poor experience overall.

Extremely STINGY with the portions.
I don't get any beans, sour cream or cheese but can only get a tiny stingy portion of salsa!

Food bangs though and loyalty collection is great and highly recommend to download the app and collect. Every 5 or so you get 1 free!
Chicken is halal.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! FOOD POISONING!
My experience at Tortilla Stratford was appalling and frankly unacceptable. I ordered burrito bowls, and shortly after eating them, both myself and another person became severely ill. What followed was two full days of intense vomiting and diarrhoea. This was not a mild stomach upset, it was serious food poisoning that completely knocked us out and disrupted our lives.

The timing left little doubt in our minds that the food from this location was the cause. Whatever the issue was… poor hygiene, improper food handling, or ingredients that should never have been served, it reflects a complete failure in basic food safety standards.

No meal is worth days of misery and illness. I would strongly advise anyone considering eating here to think twice. There are plenty of alternatives in Stratford that do not come with the risk of ending up sick for days. This was an awful experience, and I will not be returning. Disgusting.

I went today to get a burrito bowl, the first lady started making a burrito and then as i said oh sorry i asked for a bowel she kissed her teeth at me and it was really rude and disrespectful, they also got my order wrong and got my order mixed up with someone else’s, as they weren’t communicating properly and then another lady kissed her teeth at me who was working there. I find this behaviour completely unacceptable and disrespectful as a customer.

Staff were super unfriendly and one of them even had some attitude. It’s one thing to hate their job but when it comes to customer service, they should’ve performed better. Will never come back to this location ever again. Do better.

Been here a couple of times, very nice bowls.
Had the chicken with beans corriander rice and lettuce!.
Tortilla chips are nice, you get different dips with it,
Wraps are good too!.

Heavenly Desserts Stratford

Heavenly Desserts definitely delivers on presentation – the menu is huge and creative, with plenty of milkcakes, waffles, crepes, cheesecakes and milkshakes to choose from. The interior is calm and makes it a nice spot for a treat or to catch up with friends.
We ordered pistachio vanilla milkcake and i would totally recommend it. It was really great!
Pricing is a little on the higher side though.

I Was came here to celebrate my friends birthday and staff were so polite and made our day with this
recently had the waffles and drinks here, and both were absolutely delicious. The waffles were perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside—and the drinks were refreshing and well-made. What really made the experience stand out was the excellent service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome from the moment I walked in. Overall, it was a great visit with tasty food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back! The last caramel monkey bread is a top notch here must try 😍😍

lovely pomegranate mojito, white chocolate and raspberry cookie dough is delicious, watermelon caffeine cooler is so refreshing! also the i’ll have what she’s having crepe is yummy would reccomend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely loved my visit to Heavenly Desserts in Stratford! Every single dessert and dish was spot on – beautifully presented and full of flavour. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were really friendly, and everything felt clean and well looked after. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they serve. I honestly enjoyed every bite – nothing disappointed! Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth. Will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely loved my visit to Heavenly Desserts Stratford! The desserts were beautifully presented and tasted amazing—fresh, indulgent, and perfectly balanced. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, stylish, and relaxing, making it a great place to unwind or catch up with friends. Everything was spot on, and I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

All our desserts are suitable for a Halal diet.

Bamboo-Mat Stratford

Great experience for both food and service! There was a lady who ushered us in with class and helped us to the table, as well as the elegance of Jay throughout our at-table ensemble. The cherry on the cake undoubtedly, as the food exceeded expectations also. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing tasting menu here, such good value. Turns out I love wine from Moldova!
Knocked a couple of stars off service as it wasn’t particularly attentive, they just kind of plonked the dishes in front of us without any kind of description which is unusual for a tasting menu. We had to ask for the menu back to see what we were eating. But what we ate was really good and I’d definitely recommend, the starters were among some of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten anywhere.

Had lunch at Bamboo-Mat Stratford and it was a great experience! The ambiance is stylish and modern, and the food was fresh and full of flavor. The service was also friendly and quick. Highly recommended.

Best tasting menu I’ve ever had! For £62 per person you get extremely large plates of delicious dishes that reflects Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. Not only was the food astonishing, the service was fantastic as well.
Highly recommend this place over chotto matte

We were pleasingly surprised by the quality of the food! They serve delicious Japanese Peruvian  dishes! Definitely recommend it if you are in Stratford

Thunderbird Fried Chicken - Westfield Stratford - Award Winning Chicken

AVOID them at every cost.
This is their LARGE POP CORN KIDS MEAL for a stingy £6.99

HARD RUBBER CHICKEN, dont know these lot got their license!

Customer services worse, cant even speak English!

AVOID Thunderbird Westfield Stratford at every cost. Paid a stingy £6.99 for their so-called "LARGE POP CORN KIDS MEAL" and got a tiny portion of rock-hard rubbery chicken, a handful of limp fries, and stale ketchup. Absolutely disgraceful quality—honestly, it tasted like they'd never seen real chicken before. Not sure how these lot even got their food license!

Customer service was appalling; no one seems to understand basic English, let alone solve any complaints. Save your money and sanity—there are far better options in Westfield!

Thunderbird Fried Chicken has the best buffalo wings , honestly they're my favourite! Every time I come to Westfield, I make sure to grab them. The wings are always fresh, flavourful and never disappoint. A special shoutout to Shivani who was super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend if you love good buffalo wings!

Ate in on a Wings Wednesday when it was 50% off wings.  Opted for a Meltdown burger with tater tots and 6 Chipuffalo Wings with Chocolate Milkshake.  Ordering was a breeze with a very nice friendly lady who took my order.   It took about 7-8 minutes for a nice platter of hot and tasty food.  The 50% off bonus was fantastic. The chocolate shake is thick and creamy and tastes delicious.  Will definately be making a return trip at some point.

Freshly prepared hot food
Tasty & well cooked.
Would definitely go again & recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Absolutely terrible place. Took them 10 mins to take my order even though there were 4 staff behind the counter, most of the staff had the back to us. Took another 20 mins to make the food (kids meal) and when I went to the counter the food was ready but the buzzer wasn’t working apparently. They told me they had sent someone out to look for us, really? In a sea of 100 people at lunch time on a Sunday, oh and the food is still there on the counter.

Finally to top it off, the portion that you get for £7, the picture says it all. Would give zero stars if I could, disgraceful.

All of our chicken in our London restaurants and kitchens is sourced from halal-certified suppliers and certificates are available behind the counter. We sell alcohol, but we do not use it anywhere in the cooking process. Please note, chicken at our Parkdean Resorts franchise sites is not halal.

Pasta Remoli

Pleasantly surprised how tasty the meal was, Franco kindly informed us it's all freshly made. I'd recommend and definitely come again!

We had the spinach ravioli, spaghetti with basil and tomatoe sauce and a nice latte. Highly recommend.

The food is excellent, great choices and possibility to customize your pasta. Additionally, the service is cheerful and kind. It felt like being back home.
A small corner of Italy which I will definitely visit again!

I start to have there pasta since age of 12, the quality just getting worse and worse, we came today orders a seafood and red prawn pasta, the red prawn is full of sand, not eatable at all.
I use to like it a lot , but not anymore

Located at the end of the mall near Stratford international exit. Quite a few tables. Staff is nice. Ordered gluten free pasta for takeaway waited around 5 minutes, gluten free pasta was undercooked and tasted very floury. The clams and sauce is flavourful.

Pasta Remoli at Stratford Westfield is one of my go to spots. The food’s always great and the staff are just lovely. Last time I had the creamy mushroom and the person at the till was so cheerful and sweet it made my day.

Went back again today and wasn’t sure what pasta shape to get and one of the guys there actually showed us the different types and explained which sauce goes best with what. He even gave tips like avoiding long pasta if you’re wearing white which I thought was so thoughtful. You can tell they really care.

The creamy mushroom was amazing again and I added prawns this time which were super fresh and tasty. Big love to the team. You guys are the best 🫶🍝

We are halal friendly and all the dishes are halal, except for the pork off course.

Master Bao - Westfield Stratford City

Early dinner before the theatre.
2nd floor food hall at Westfield shopping centre Stratford. Choice of several restaurants. A friend and I chose the Taiwanese street food place.
I have never previously had Bao's. They were totally delicious. The vegetarian fried rice was a huge portion for one. It was a good thing I was with some hungry girlfriends who helped me polish it off.
If you are not fussy about slumming it with strangers listening to your conversation, and ordering then collecting your food and sitting in a food hall setting, do try this place.

Look out for their offers - 2 Baos, one side and juice for £15!

This was my first time trying the food and it did not disappoint. Annie provided outstanding customer service, she was polite, attentive, and helped. The food was delicious, and I will certainly be returning

I got the crispy prawns and the noodle soup. The beef in the noodle soup was really tender but unfortunately the soup was tasteless

EDIT: I decided to try this place again and give the bao a go as it seems to be their main items. Cold fried chicken in a stale bao, and when you pick up the food the staff give you a look like you’re intruding on their private time. Cold service, cold food. Putting this and Taiwanese in the same sentence is a shame

I recently tried the Chicken Dumplings at Master Bao in Westfield Stratford, and they were absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and authentic, with the perfect balance of texture and taste.

What made the experience even better was the outstanding service. John, the manager, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. His warm hospitality truly stood out and made our visit memorable.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!

Beef noodle soup (updated) - Still very good, however very less beef - please add more beef!

Service (updated review) - Excellent customer service from Shruti, really liked her! I wish I had some cash on me, so I could offer it to her for her amazing customer service.

Definitely worth a visit.

Lokma Westfield

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times now, and the food has never disappointed. Everything is well-seasoned and full of flavour. The mocktails are great too, on my last visit I was already stuffed but still ordered two mocktails because they were that good.

The staff are attentive and friendly, and overall I really enjoy coming here. The only downside is that they removed their express lunch menu. When they first opened, my colleagues and I used to come in during our breaks because the express menu was perfect. I’m not sure when it was taken away, but it’s a shame it’s no longer available.

Aside from that, my recent visit was great and I’ll definitely be back.

Had a wonderful experience at Lokma Stratford! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor  but what really stood out was the excellent service. All the gentlemen serving us were incredibly attentive, warm, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Their professionalism and kindness truly elevated the meal.

Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

Nice Turkish restaurant in the centre.  Service attentive, tabke was near the window and it was cold outside.  It could gave been warmer where we sat.  Had the lamb shank which was great and tbe mixed kebab.  The lamb was lovely the kebab was a little dry.

When paying ghe bill be mindful that service is already added.  The card machine invites you to add service - naughty !

Lockma is a true gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was incredible- which is hard to find in London sometimes. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. We were so well looked after, and the staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. A huge thank you to Alex, the owner, for his fantastic hospitality! He made us feel so welcome and ensured we had an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend Lockma to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. We can't wait to go back!

Came on Saturday and absolutely LOVED IT! Shoutout to Efsa the best waitress I’ve had ever! She’s so kind, has a sense of humour and attention to detail. I would love to be served by her again and again and again!!

As always the food is delicious!

Las Iguanas - London - Stratford Westfield

The restaurant is vibrant, bright, colourful, rustic, comfortable, sleek, elegant, modern, huge, spacious, tidy, clean and hygienic. The staff are friendly, respectful, supportive, sociable, well mannered, polite, professional, knowledgeable about food, understanding, organised and very welcoming with smile that makes you feel welcome there without having to worry about fitting in a place that serves you best experience and food. The food was fantastic, fresh, flavourful, delicious, mouthwatering, colourful in good ways and great quality but the drink and service cost threw me off which is reason why I was shocked I received the receipt. You should go there and try their food because it will remind you best time especially if you’re going to date, anniversary, family day out or catch up with friends that you have not seen in a while in your lifetime.

Great spot for solo, couples or groups and families.
Have tried various dishes from the menu and every single one was nice.

Halloumi, mini quesadilas, sweet potato fries, king Prawns - all very tasty.

Chicken is halal as far as I know. Please check if any other meats are halal.
Always have good offers on - always check these out via the app, or your last receipt.

Had a lovely experience at the Las Iguanas in Stratford - it was a Sunday so wasn’t extremely busy. Service was brilliant by Monika, very patient with answering all our questions about the sharing options & was so kind! We ordered the taco sharer board and a portion of bbq wings and it was more than enough and very delicious. We also had a strawberry daiquiri and they do not skimp on the alcohol. Lovely experience, will definitely be going again soon.

Our group of nine visited the restaurant and found the food overall to be decent, with a good variety of dishes to suit different tastes.

We waited for 20 minutes for the original host to return to order our food but because she didn’t return we asked the nearest host called Esther to assist. A special mention must go to Esther, who was a fantastic host throughout our visit. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure our experience ran as smooth as possible given the circumstances. It was clear that she was the key person managing not only our table but also others in the restaurant during the several hours we were there. From taking orders to serving food, she maintained a good standard of service despite being visibly stretched.

We hope that management recognises the value she brings and provides her with more support in her role. Her dedication and hard work stood out and made a real difference to our dining experience.

The main downsides were that some menu items weren’t available, they don’t accept Amex, and the staff seemed like they could use a bit more support to keep service running smoothly. On the plus side, if you’re a Blue Light Card holder, you get a generous 40% off for up to six people.The

We had the BEST experience just before xmas! Went out with my colleagues and our servers were amazing - Ola was the best, please give her a raise! She was so friendly & attentive and helpful. I also wanna shout out Jordan, Carmen, Alex, Cheyanne & Ben - they all made our overall experience so great, they were so friendly and just gave us back the vibes we were on. We’ll definitely be back. Also please make that ‘Grinch’ Cocktail a regular on the menu - best cocktail i’ve had in my life!

All chicken is Halal. Ask for a Halal menu.

The Alley Stratford Westfield 鹿角巷

Another lovely bubble tea place. They were quick, and very polite. The drinks were wonderful. I got the Ube Taro and my fiance got the Brown Sugar w/ Matcha. They were yummy.

Juzar was lovely, and gave a great drink suggestion. Was very kind and professional. 100/10 would come back! The drink was also delicious and exactly what I needed mid-work day

Really good bubble tea and friendly staff. We ordered the Royal No. 9 Milk tea and after trying a sample ordered the Mango Lulu with Coconut Milk and Jelly. Both tasted great and fairly priced compared to other bubble tea locations. I’m surprised at some 1 star reviews and glad we tried it. Definitely recommend.

Love the creme brûlée drink here, staff are really kind and take the time to talk you through the menu and options. special thanks to jozar for making an amazing drink!

The mango lulu was elite
Would definitely come back for that one
The other one we had i think fruit tea was normal tasting
Quite a premium experience with nice branded items

We are HMC approved. This means our entire menu and supply-chain is certified Halal according to HMC standards. No traces of pork or alcohol in the store.

The Alley

Back in London after 3 days in Budapest with no meat for that time, was a nice change. But i stopped off at Westfield for a quick bite. Lovely home style cooked food from @caferasamalaysia 
The stand out dish was the Kway teow goreng with chicken. One of the best noodle dishes I have have. £8.90

Price expensive considering that it's a cafe and same as restaurant prices, but its the location I guess. 
Definitely recommend for quick bite

@halalfoodguy's review of Café Rasa Malaysia Stratford on Instagram

Cafe Rasa Malaysia

It is an ideal restaurant to go to eat after being several hours inside the mall, although it is a small restaurant, it is open and very cosy. Their staff is very friendly and attentive. Although I had never tried Malaysian food, I found its menu attractive and very colourful. After ordering I can say that the Malaysian food is delicious, I really liked its presentation, its flavours and aromas. I especially loved the fried chicken because it was delicious and crispy, I loved it. What would improve is the coconut shake, because it is too sweet and the palate becomes cloying, it seems to me that the bottom had toffee or caramel. Soups are also very tasty. Upon leaving the restaurant they were very kind and generous to give us some jack fruit chips typical of Malaysia.

This is the real deal! Excellent authentic Malaysian food with warm and thoughtful service.

I passed by several times and almost all seats were filled, for good reason. Despite the density of tables, the staff ensure you have plenty of space and move things around for you.

We shared roti with chicken curry (delicious and plenty of chicken pieces), king prawn laksa, beef rendang nasi lemak, karipap and chicken rice.

All were delicious and the sambal served with the nasi lemak was perfect (I reckon the owner is well aware, as they also sell jars for you to take home!). The fried chicken skin was paper thin and crisp, served with flavourful chicken rice.

My only gripe is I wished the nasi lemak was served with more beef rendang as the portion was disproportionate to the amount of rice.

The price is higher than the fast food joints around the corner, but is a much better choice by far.

I ordered the fried chicken leg rice set. The chicken leg itself had a nicely crisp skin, but the meat was bland and lacked any tenderness or bounce. The yellow rice was overly salty and didn’t carry the fragrance or richness of chicken oil that you’d expect. As for the soup, it tasted mainly of star anise and salt, with none of the depth or comforting flavour of real chicken broth. Considering the price, the overall quality felt very disappointing and not worth it.

The restaurant is clean, tidy, comfortable, small, bright, sleek, vibrant but no walls for privacy which was not ideal for my friend. The food was delicious, mouthwatering, tasty, colourful, well presented but it can do with more flavour and can do better according to my friend. The staff are friendly, polite, kind, knowledgeable, respectful, understanding, supportive, well mannered, professional and helpful what I liked a lot in this place. The price was £51.22 which includes service charge of £5.02 but food and drink was £46.20 for my friend and I at this place. If you want to go there you can but keep in mind that is small place and it will remind you of Malaysia although you are not in there and you smile when you’re in the restaurant.

Absolute gem of a restaurant in the shopping centre. The food and the decor is top notch with a great courteous staff and the owner of the restaurant is a fantastic person to have a chat with. Also the business is in a positive limelight with the local community was a great piece of information. Staff were great to talk to and felt that I was in Malaysia for a while. The vibes were that good. Thank you!

Because you havn't seen enough burgers today. Here's another

The first and last time I visited shake shack in Stratford I labeled it one of the worst chicken burgers I've had

I went back today for #nationalburgerday to see if was any better. I got 2 chicken burgers and the muched talked about shroom burger. First of all the shroom burger (made from mushrooms) was surprisingly good! The chicken burger was definitely better than when I first had it. Although it was better, I still think it's not worth the £6.25 
Only the chicken is halal. Certificate on the wall.

Hot Honey Chicken 🔥🍯 from @shakeshackuk as part of a limited time special 😍 their hot honey burger comes with a delicious cabbage & apple slaw which goes really well with the chicken 🍏 also tried their regular & hot honey bites, which I think I actually preferred as they were really tender! 🍗 we got their cheesy fries on the side which are amazing 🧀 plus their honey mustard sauce was soo good with everything 👌🏼 also tried their strawberry rhubarb milkshake, strawberry lemonade, regular lemonade and their ‘Union Shack’ frozen custard, all of which were great 🤤 I especially loved their sweet strawberry lemonade & their Union Shack frozen custard, as it had brownie bits in it 🍫 #shakeshack #halalfoodlondon

@halalfoodlondon's review of Shake Shack Stratford on Instagram

Although the halal menu at @shakeshackuk is limited, they have recently brought out their new gochujang menu and we definitely preferred this over their original menu items ! The Gochujang burger was crispy and coated in their sweet and spicy gochujang glaze which added a lot more flavour than their classic chicken burger. The chicken bites were definitely our favourite part of the meal, the batter itself was seasoned well and coated in the same glaze. 

The fries were served with a gochujang mayo which was delicious but it could have done with a lot more sauce to cover the fries. Personally we didn’t enjoy the mango and passion fruit lemonade, it was too tangy rather than refreshing. 

All in all, we definitely recommend trying out their new menu while it’s available !

@londonfoodjourney's review of Shake Shack on Instagram

Shake Shack Westfield Stratford

While the food was undeniably enjoyable, I wouldn’t rate the service a full five stars—mainly due to the increasingly common reliance on online or screen-based ordering.

That said, the food itself was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken burger—well-seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right. The chips were a standout as well, with a delectable flavor, especially with the sauce generously drizzled on top.

But the true highlight of the meal was the pistachio milkshake. Rich, creamy, and perfectly nutty—it stole the show and left a lasting impression. A delightful way to end a satisfying lunch.

Hi, I went today to this place, I had the meal deal and it was absolutely delicious! The waiter Marof was very friendly, kind and helpful! I will definitely come back and visit this place, the burger was yummy yummy! 😊😊

Food was amazing as always. The limited Smokey Chipotle fries was unreal, just a bit spicy. Too bad they're not a permanent menu item. Expensive, yes, but delicious. A treat every couple of months. Love it!

Only real issue it was very slow. 17 mins to get my order, and it wasn't even busy.

We dont have shake shack in germany so everytime
I am in London, I get my beloved Shroom
Burger. Tasted fantastic as usual, order came
Fast and super nice customer service

I like the food. The service and the place itself suck. It's a shame they've gone to self-service screens - the whole vibe of the place is weird and dystopian. Don't do draft beer anymore, which is a shame, and the food took far too long to prepare. It's supposed to be fast food - a twenty minute wait isn't really on. Geared up for delivery drivers more than customers who want to eat in. Still, I guess the shareholder value must be improved and really, what else matters?

The chicken we use in our Chicken Shack and Chicken Bites in every UK Shack is halal-certified, including our 2021 festive Black Truffle Chicken item. 

However, we must highlight that we do also sell non-halal menu items in our business - as such, our beef is not halal. We hope this helps but if you have any more questions, please do reach out to us.
