Pit-Stop

Normally my favourite night time food place to order - quick and fresh - but recently last few times ordered food has been very disappointing
Just ordered my usual chips nuggets and Algerian double - while the burger was fine the chips absolutely disgusting - probably triple fried or gave me old reused chips - nuggets also - felt like biting on drenched oil ewww. Im sorry but wont be ordering again ! Management conatct me and make things right!

I got an american smash beef burger. Absolutely rubbish. Have a look at the photos for yourself. If i could i would rate the meal 0 stars. The beef was non existent, i even had someone ask me if i got a doner burger with how thin the beef was. I could literally only taste the bun. It was so bloody dry. They took half an hour to make my order and staff were not nice and welcoming. Only good thing was the drink.

I ordered the Monster Pit Meal expecting something substantial given the price, but I was extremely disappointed with the quantity. The meal included a choice of burger or wrap, fried chicken monster fries, double jointed wings, 3x chili cheese bites, and a drink, yet the portions were embarrassingly small. For what it cost, this was far from worth it.

On top of that, there was nothing special about the food at all. I chose the BBQ burger option, expecting the whole chicken to be coated in BBQ sauce, but all I got was a tiny squirt of sauce on top. The loaded fries were the biggest disappointment—I can’t even begin to describe how bad they were; just look at the pictures. The only decent item in the whole meal was the chili cheese bites.

Overall, an overpriced and underwhelming experience. I won’t be returning.

I visited Pitstop on a break at work and we decided to stop at Pitstop. They had a good deal on 7.49 for any burger with chips and a drink.

I ordered some tenders on the side with bbq sauce. Food was nice but I was not expecting the spice level. I dont mind spicy food when Im expecting it but this caught me off guard.

Overall nice food decent price.

Food was good, but the drinks were really bad.
They give their own dispensed drinks but they cheap out on the actual cup and lid and give them in a paper bag that breaks.

I put the drinks in my car and they spilled everywhere. This is the third time it’s happened, even if I put the drinks in the cup holder they still spill.

They charge more than an average shop for their food so you would expect higher quality. Very disappointed.

I won’t be buying from here again mainly because of the drinks, I had to deep clean my mat from the spillage.

Everything on our menu is Halal. We are HMC certified, the certificate is in the window.

GRILLER Goodmayes

The food is delicious.
The sitting area isnt up to standards.
Cleanliness wise 4/10.
The staff is good working, the food delivery time is good, however, attitude towards customers 2/10.
The grilled chicken and rice 8/10.
Overall - Food (good) - atmosphere/sitting/cleanliness (not good).

I visited this place as a stopover for a quick snack. I ordered a Chicken burger and a chicken rola. Both were amazingly good and tasty. Prices are reasonable and quantity is good as well. Everything available here is halaal.  They have enough seating capacity.

Definitely will visit again!!

Food took 2 hours to arrive and it was cold. Been long time grillers customer for many of their branches but standards have dropped , slow service, poor quality of food. Bye grillers it was good whilst it lasted :(

I ordered one pizza and the topping was chicken,mushroom and green paper and they gave me beef,chicken and corn pizza. I also ordered grill wings which was very dry and taste was bad. I had a stomach aches after having the food.

I ordered a cheeseburger and a portion of wings, but the food was just below average. The burger was okay, but the bun was dry, and the wings were more chewy than they should be.

The service was also very bad. The table was dirty, so I asked the worker to clean it, but instead, he gave me a rag to clean it myself. All the tables were dirty.

The atmosphere was bad too, as there was a possibly intoxicated woman sleeping inside.

To top it all off, why is this place called Griller but doesn’t do grilled chicken?

I wouldn’t come back here again or recommend it to anyone unless they make big improvements.

Griller

Hey everyone. Been away as I was unwell, I'm better now so for fathers day I took the family to @centralounge a Indian restaurant located in Ilford

Here's what I ordered 

Chilli Paneer £8.15
Avocado chaat £7.25
Pani Puri £5.80
Sticky Lamb Chops £10.85
Butter Chicken £9.95
Lamb Shank £14.95
Lamb Biryani £12.50
Keema Naan £3.65
Butter Naan £2.75
Ocean Blue £6.50
Elderflower & pear £6.50

In general the food was good, some dishes worked well and some need work. My favourite items were the Chill Panner, crispy texture in a tasty sauce. The lamb Biryani was enjoyable and had good portions of lamb, it was a bit sticky in texture but I like it like that and the flavours were balanced and tasty. 

The butter chicken had velvety smooth sauce and was really tasty, with perfectly cooked chicken and sauce with good depth in flavour. The lamb shank also had a rich and balanced sauce and the lamb feel apart with no effort at all. 

The lamb chops however were over cooked, which meant it was tough and chewy. If I was a paying customer I would of sent that back, I could only sample one bite, I didn't like the taste of the sticky sauce either. 

They did serve me a 🥑 chaat that was rotten, that could pass with a btec food blogger but I clocked that straight away. Sadly for my wife she was the victim of soggy nasty avocado. They did take it away and bring me a new one, but it came at the end of the meal so I took it home. The new one with fresh avocado was actually delicious. It's a shame they got it wrong the first time. 

Drinks and food came with a somewhat forced dry ice show for the table, but I'll take anything that will get me the likes. Drinks were okay, I didn't like the Elderflower it was bitter but the ocean blue was nice. 

Finished the meal with a average freakshake but the chocolate cake wasn't too bad. 

Service was good and overall this is a decent place to check out. It's more casual lunch/dinner than anything fancy, but there's there's a free car park on site. 

Alcohol is served. All food is halal with certification available. My meal was complimentary.

@halalfoodguy's review of Central Lounge Ilford on Instagram

Central Restaurant and Lounge

We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday, and although it had been a while since I’d visited a lounge, this one truly impressed. The atmosphere was calm and inviting when we walked in. The staff greeted us warmly, handed us the menus, and guided us to our table with ease.

We ordered the Savacco Passionova shisha, which had great longevity and smooth flavour. For food, we went all in:

Punjabi Samosa Chaat – rich, tangy, and perfectly spiced

Sticky Lamb Chops – absolutely phenomenal, a solid 10/10

Chilli Chicken Fries – fiery, bold, and packed with flavour

Lamb Biryani – deeply aromatic and satisfying, topped with a delicious naan

We asked for everything to be spicy, and they nailed it. Each dish delivered on taste and heat without compromising on quality. As the evening progressed, the lounge filled up, but the service remained consistently attentive. Staff checked in to ensure we were happy and offered anything else we might need.

Final thoughts: Great food, excellent shisha, and top-tier service. A fantastic experience from start to finish.

We had a 50th Birthday party for 100 guests. Gurav and the whole team were excellent and attentive. Food served on time and very tasty. Drinks were served to our guests without delays. Good venue and team for holding parties.

The venue was amazing; the food and staff were good. The portion size was a bit small, but everyone enjoyed the food. The ambiance added to the experience, with soft lighting and tasteful decorations that created a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Starters 🥢
The Chicken Lollipop was crazy good, crispy outside, juicy inside, and packed with flavour. The Indo-Chinese Prawns were bold and tangy with that perfect kick. The Trio Chicken Tikka was tender, smoky, and each marinade had its own unique taste. But the Avocado Chaat stole the show as something refreshing and light to balance it all.

Mains 🍛
The Chicken Madras was spot on,spicy, rich, and full of depth, exactly how a proper Madras should be. The surprise star for me was the Methi Corn, creamy, fragrant, and such a unique dish, it instantly became a favourite.

Desserts 🍰
The cakes were indulgent but the Lotus Biscoff Milk Cake really stood out soft, rich, and absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were huge across all dishes, which I really appreciate you definitely get value for money here.

Extras 💨
To finish, we tried their Special Shisha smooth, flavoursome, and the perfect way to end a fantastic evening.

Overall, Central Restaurant & Lounge offers the full experience welcoming vibes, amazing food with generous portions, and excellent service. 100% recommend this place if you’re looking for quality food with great hospitality.

I had booked for my partners surprise party. Genuinely such helpful people and accommodating to all my needs. Gaurav helped with the booking aspect and even with a lot of back and forth from my end, he was very patient. Even on site he was lovely and very helpful. Priya was our server, she made sure everyone was attended to and liaised with me to ensure it ran smoothly. She again was very helpful with such a chaotic group of mine and made it work regardless. I’ve been here a couple of times now so the food is always good, nothing bad to say honestly speaking.
