Central Restaurant and Lounge

We had a lunchtime birthday gathering for about 30 people, the food along with the service was top class, nothing was any problem, we were dedicated 3 staff who kept taking drinks orders and bringing out hot food. As we had agreed a food package deal, That was great value.
The food was amazing. We had mixed vegetarian and meat Dishes.
The whole experience we and all our guests had was simply faultless and all had a great time.  Again the food and service was top class.
We will be visiting The central Restaurant again for sure.

If you wish to spend an evening out with family and friend then this is the best place great ambiance great customer service and most of  all delicious food, presentation 10/10. Food have never disappointed me. Highly recommend. They also have private parking.

Had our daughter’s 1st b’day here. And also being a regular customer from the last three years.
Food above all, is the 1st go to thing, followed by bar & private parking.
And If this is not enough, the staff is very friendly and polite.
Would definitely recommend everyone to try this place.

Regards,
A happy customer who will always come back.👍🏻

Visited Central Restaurant, last night, with friends and family. Thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine (starters and main course). Excellent range of choice and very tasty. The host was only too pleased to cater for the varied needs, taste wise, of our group. The ambience was spot on, given we were meeting after a long time due to C-19 restrictions. The restaurant and staff had all the necessary H&S precautions in place and the service matched the high quality of food / choice.
Definitely will be returning..... Soon!

Really nice place for a night out. The food was incredible for the price, I've been to other places that have been more expensive and the food has been worse so very happy with the prices. I came with my wife and young child and although the music was a bit too loud it wasn't over the top. Very nice vibe to the place and I would definitely go again. And it's nice to go to a place that has on site parking so you don't have to drive around for ages trying to find a parking spot.

Central Lounge

Mumbai 7

Came today to these beautiful exquisite restaurant with my family the customer service is 5* and the food is beyond explanation on how amazing it was, you pay for what you get the quality is superb. Definitely will be coming here again since its our local. Staff are very welcoming and friendly too. We are very happy with our visit!

This was a disappointing experience. Left the place still hungry with a lighter wallet. Staff are nice and helpful and the ambience is nice, but if you are after a fine dining experience, this is not the place. It's the wrong restaurant in the wrong place. Food taste and quality was not great, portions were tiny and the price is very high, definitely not justified.

Amazing food, presentation and experience. Don’t write reviews however had to make a comment here. Came with a group of friends and the vibe was awesome. Need to bring the family next!

The portion size is small, Lamb shanks was very bland, but nice and soft, nan small wasn't well done. biryani was good, again a very small portion. Chops 3 small pieces for £14.  However  quiet road and nicely decorated  and attentive staff.

Just met the owner by chance and decided to make a reservation for Sunday... First impressions every one looks on point from the girls on reception to the waiting staff to the cooks and bar staff.
And the venue its self looks AMAZING!!

Pls don't disappoint guys 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💪🏽

See you Sunday at 8👊🏽

Burgotown

Best burger's in town 100%. Rang over the phone and went to collect in store and order was ready straight away. Customer service was brilliant but the burger and sides were even better. Will definitely go back

Have ordered the burgo double several times now and each time the consistency varies. Its been great twice and since then the burger is a little greasy and the Angus lacks flavour. The burger is of a decent size portion, however the regular fries are small at best - disappointing. I hope they are able to fix these issues and grow as a business.

I ordered the double burgo town burger, and it lacked heavily on the seasoning I was not pleased at all with the burger. I attempted to salvage the burger by adding a heavy amount of sauce but still tasted awful. Spending £11 on a burger with one bun soggy as a bread loaf dunked in water, and two meat patties that had the seasoning of white mans dinner was a joke. Although the burger was juicy and the side I ordered with it the loaded chicken fries was amazing. It would be rare to order from this place again, I initially had high hopes for this place.

Food from is always top tier!
Absolutely love it and I keep coming back!
Customer service is always friendly and helpful, food is priced very moderately, you definitely get every bang for your buck!
Would definitely recommend to anyone local!

I ordered a double burger , it was very juicy but it lacked heavily on the seasoning. It was almost bland . I was disappointed as I have dined in before and it was much better than what I had experienced tonight.

Pit-Stop

I head about this place from my kids, "better than Mc Donald's " they said, too right! clean, not too greasy, and will give old boy Ronald a run for his money. You need to eat here

This is one of my favourite burger places. The only bad thing I have to say is that they take too long to make the food so it gets cold by the time you get home. It’s happened a few times where my food is sitting by the till until they make the rest.

Absolutely appalled and disgusted at the quality of the food I received, clearly no care was taken in making my order as soon after my order arrived pit stop had closed, so clearly my order was rushed. Pit stop should be embarrassed by the way they prepared my order and ashamed that they think the way my burger was prepared was acceptable to serve to customers, absolute shambles. My first time ordering from these guys, never again. Will be leaving a google review as my reviews get hundreds of views, I have local guide status in the Ilford area. If anyone is going to order from Pit Stop they best ensure they do not do it a good hour or two before they close otherwise you will be served with leftovers. I have taken pictures of the state my burger arrived in. These guys are supposed to do fairly premium burgers, I’m better off buying a burger for two quid from your basic chicken and chips shop than pay the £9 I did for this joke of a meal. Also, they did not provide two cheese slices and not anywhere near enough onions as described in their prep duct description, no sign of mustard either, absolutely horrendous

UPDATE:
In response to my original review the restaurant clearly has low standards when it comes to the presentation of their food. Even though I have attached images, they have not addressed the poor state in which my food was delivered and prepared. I have never encountered such bad customer service! Will never be ordering from them again.

Our family favourite fast food. Good quality and always hits the spot. They’re always incredibly busy, so we order via. Ubereats.

Yummy Yummy.
I love their Burgers and their recipe. My recent order as usual food was delicious and yummy. Staff behaviour was really friendly and helpful. They guide me good and restaurant was clean and tidy.
Highly Recommended

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.

Sultan Turkish Restaurant

If you are craving Turkish food then this place is the right one for you! Everything from the starters of salad, to the main course platter which we had bought was delicious. No criticism to the food at all, had extra and asked for box to take home. Turkish tea on the house too.. I would have given it 5 stars but one of the staff members insisted that we sit right to the front of the restaurant though there was space everywhere else. Another staff allowed us to sit where we were comfortable. We are paying for the food and so the seating also does matter if you are going out to eat.

Lovely food, and great service with smile. Reservation is highly recommended. Finding a parking can be an issue.

*ATTENTION MANAGEMENT*
Please bring back the  after food complementary TURKISH DELIGHT as this will keep bringing many peoples to your restaurant.

Amazing food. Ordered the Chef's special platter for around £22. Described as for 2-3 people. I think that should be 3-4 people!! So tasty. Variety of meats and rice. Service is great and staff are very friendly. For the quality and quantity of food Sultan is excellent value for money.  Highly recommend.

We had a good lunch from Sultan. Reasonable price and good quantity of food. Food was tasty and quick service. Only order after checking the quantity since so many items will be there on the plate and that will help you to not waste food.

Amazing food and our waitress took good care of us. We had three tables (30+ people in total) and our orders were all correct and on time. Can't wait to come back here!

Hashtag Cafe Ltd

This place is amazing! Iv popped in several times since they have opened and thought it definitely deserves a review. The drinks and food were all tasty and deserts were delicious also very well priced, showed the best attitude to their customers. Honestly it has a good ambiance love the great interior all over the place, If you’re up for a fresh place this is a must to visit. I will definitely rate them a five-star six-stars if i could for everything that they provided. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food. Excellent service.Highly recommend it. The management and staff are to be commended for their expertise and professionalism. I wish the staff and management all the best for the future

Lovely food. Had a great time today with family. Excellent service. Friendly staff. Clean and modern decor.  This cafe will be one of my favourite places. Would definitely go again and recommend to others.

Amazing breakfasts . Th french toast was the best I have had around...
Took a while to come, but the wait was definitely worth it.
The karak chai was really good, and not milky brown syrup like in some places.
Will be going back soon.

Stumbled upon this place whilst driving stopped here for breakfast with my mate. There's a massive carpark directly opposite. Looks like a brand new establishment looked very nice and fancy. Food was absolutely tasty and delicious. Customer service was top notch. Will definitely visit here again.

Burger Trap

Driving past and saw this new shop went to try it out and was amazed by the food!!

The trap burger was delicious and had a unique taste compared to other beef patty burgers!

Chips and sauces were unique and tasty!

Tip… More choice of deserts would of been better!

Amazing customer service thanks!

Saw this shop was new and decided to get a meal to try. The beef burger is amazing and reasonably priced. I love their sauces too. Will definitely come back.

Surprisingly good!
Saw this new shop pop up around the corner from Asda. I gave it a go and was not disappointed. The food was great and so was the service. Look forward to trying out the rest of their menu.

The Trap Triple was sure damn good! Highly recommend to try this place if you haven't! 10/10 for me.

It's just a 2 min walk from my apartment. Good tasting burgers, decent prices with friendly customer service over the phone or in person. A gem in the heart of Barking!!!

Wayne’s Coffee

Iced peach tea was gooood but their food was not the best. Good for a quick takeaway drink though

Easily the best coffee and pastries in Ilford. Every order I've had from here has been fresh and tasty. Way better than the big chains imo.

Fantastic coffee. Will be back the next time I'm in the area.

A great coffee house with the best Matcha 'Superccino' this side of Greater London. Great cosy vibes inside with nice selection of sandwiches and the staff are super friendly.

The staff at Wayne's today were absolutely amazing and did there very best despite being extremely busy with the eat out to help out scheme. The team proved to be a well organised, but cohesive and from what I saw dealt with the pressure magnificently well.

On the downside, the cafe was understaffed for the level of footfall circulating. Someone needed to be around on the shop floor to clean the tables as customers replenished. This is advised for the senior management team at Wayne's.

During a pandemic, it's the companies due care to ensure the surfaces are well cleaned and that was merely impossible with only three staff members at such a busy time.

Zamana

Lovely food and staff. Well worth a try. Food is really good quality. Definitely will be back here again. Thanks Ash for the excellent service.

This restaurant was amazing. I was very happy with my dinner last night! The service was excellent. Food was absolutely delicious. The starters and mains are both amazing. Decoration is very nice and relates to Pakistani Street Food. Definitely should go to Zamana restaurant if you are craving a Pakistani meal. They also do a Lahorie breakfast which is mouthwatering! This restaurant is out of this world!  ⭐️👍🏼👌🏼

Really nice place to go with the family.
Service is quick and the food is delicious.
If you can't handle hot food, like me then go for the mixed grill which is excellent.

I was recommended to come here, and I'm so glad I did. We forgot to book in advance (as they get very busy on weekends - make sure you book if you want to go!), but they still very kindly accommodated us.

We were extremely impressed - The food was all excellent, all delicious and properly cooked, arrived quickly.
Service was amazing too, waiters and management were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was good. A lot of families, parents with infants and groups of friends. Bathroom was very clean, well-equipped and the decor is up to date as well.

Would definitely recommend this restaurant, I'll be coming again!

Tucked away from the roundabout of Gants Hill, Zamana turned out to be a little gem! The food was delicious (we went for a mixture of starters and a few curry and rice mains) and it was also beautifully presented. I have to also shout out the service which was absolutely fantastic. It's definitely worth a visit and I would totally go back again.

All food is Halal. No pork or alcohol served.

Manjaros Restaurant Ilford

Unfortunately had to change from 5 star to one star based on my experience yesterday of a delivery. I loved the food here, customer service and the way the owners have developed this place into one of the most popular restaurants in Ilford. However yesterday I received my mixed grill platter. It was horrible. The dish tasted like it came from an Indian restaurant. It was not grilled, it tasted like a curry, soaking in oil. Hard to describe but it was awful. To top it off I swapped the chips for spicy rice which I oddly I had to pay an extra pound for even though they call it a swap. The rice portion was the size of half a cup. Now explain how does a mixed platter for two eat with half a cup of rice.

I'm hoping the management read this and address this unfortunate issue internally. Like I said I like this place but it's left me in a spot where I won't be eating there again.

Can't fault the food but customer service ruins the restaurant. Would rather order takeaway than eat in.  Went in had to wait a bit for the table, when we were seated someone comes to take the order straight away so I asked him to come back.  He didn't come back so as soon as I saw someone I called them over nearly half an hour later. Still took another 10 minutes for someone to come and take my order.  Food took ages, people who ordered after got there's first. When mine finally came they gave the sides and forgot to bring the main, had to call someone again to get that.

They had 2/3 staff at a bigger table so if there's only 2 of you they won't bother.

Ordered chicken steak but it was more like 2 lumps of chicken. Tasted nice but not what I wanted.

When we finished the person cleared the table and I asked for the rest to be packed, he just went off and didn't bother. They can clearly see we were done and no one still bothered to come and check, had to call someone again and tell them.  I was in there for double the time I'd usually be at a restaurant.

When I left I saw a big queue outside. Hardly surprising, if they were more efficient there probably wouldn't be a queue

My go to in Ilford for a dine in. Food never misses and is priced perfectly. I personally love the pasta dishes and Hotshot Parmesans. Staff are always friendly and service is at a good time. It can get busy for a table at times but i am not surprised, it is such an amazing restaurant!

Loved the food although feel like their seasoning could be bit better. Unfortunately they don't do tap water which is a shame which it should be a legal requirement in a restaurant.

Waiting time wasn't too bad for bigger parties do book in advance!

This was my first time at Manjaros and i was served by Beatrice. She was really nice and helpful in selecting the menu. She has been the best waitress i ever came across.
What a lovely girl she is .
She really deserves a pay rise
Cheers
See you guys soon.

Curated menu of the most flavoursome Indian street food

Saffron Street

We stopped by on a whim one Sunday evening and we were NOT disappointed!! We ordered a platter and some extras; it was great. The desserts were amazing and the manager added some great banter to it. Customer service was really good, they were quite busy so we had to get their attention a few times but they were very helpful and polite. They could do a better clean between customers, other than that it’s brilliant. Will definitely be back.

The food was excellent. Slightly pricey but not overly so. Well cooked beautifully presented.
Service was attentive and helpful. We went when it was not too busy so got our food quickly.
The interior is nice.
Would go again.

Came here a couple of times when it was now and I left disappointed. The food didn't meet my expectation and I found it very bland however re-visted again through recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. The food tasted lovely and was full of flavour. The service and staff were very efficient, accommodating and quick. Would definitely be coming again and would recommend the restaurant.

We had a great time at this restaurant. The customer service was great. One of the lovely lady's saw my son was after strawberries and very kindly bought some over without me having to ask!

Went on a busy Friday night but regardless of not having a booking, we were seated quite quickly. So the waiting times isn’t too bad and they’ve got a seating area. The food tastes really, very well cooked however the portion size is for a tiny street cat. We got the mixed platter and were incredibly disappointed at how small everything was, we were left quite hungry. For £25, it’s not worth it. However would like to try full main dishes.

Fresh and fast noodles with lots of options

Oodles Ilford

Staff are very friendly and efficient young person. However, offer meals separate allowing adults to taste everything before ordering huge portion.
Deserts, hot drinks and lunch time special meals.
Food is delicious, halal, and platter everything inclusive.  Mini boxes £2.00 meals taster or starter.  I can never eat whole box waste of food  money.  Small portions variety. Everything mixed layers.  Waiting time reduced especially lunch time.

It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations.
If you're spicy food lovers, i definitely recommend this restaurant. you can enjoy normal spicy food test as well.

It was really good  experience at oodles with my family.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Food was well cooked and nicely served.
Keep it up
Well done chefs 😇

Chinese lamb curry is fantastic here.
With that egg rice and vegetables noodles and crispy chicken awesome combination.
Generous portions sizes
Best communication
Loved it
Cheers guys

As I am vegetarian I always find very hard to eat outside but this store made me addicted to their veg options. Staff is very friendly here and make your food in front of you so you know everything kept separate
Very satisfied with the service and food test
Thanks guys keep it up.

Wazir Restaurant

Clean. Typical of similar places gets very busy, especially on weekends. Best to try book in advance if you have a group. Staff were nice. It can get noisy purely due to size and being more catered for family and large groups rather than a quiet romantic meal for two. Value is good as is the overall quality of the food. Rear parking available.

Been here for quite a few times as its my local restaurant, very good and everything was fine until recently. The service is more or less the same but the food seriously had a downgrade, chicken was quite raw, my mother's soup was off and the bread was far too doughty and under cooked. Everything else is fine though, also the portions are reasonable.

Great Food.
Great Staff especially serving staff.
Absolutely delicious food with rear parking so peace of mind during eating food. I love their Hot sauce in small pot please make size little bit bigger of Hot sauce it's so delicious 😋

Food was all right. Service wasn't great!

A lot of the staff is rude, unprofessional, and they seem to lie about prices. I had been a regular customer for years and have seen first hand their customer service rapidly decline.
Especially since the start of 2020. They keep increasing their prices every few months. Fair enough once it would have been justified, but often receipts have other items mentioned to make up for higher prices.

Consecutively our recent experiences have all had one thing or another not right. So it looks like the quality is also declining.

I sadly feel losing a customer of many years means nothing to them, judging from  the rude staff. Really sad about this and shocked that the owners have let things get this bad and seem to not have checks over service or staff. I don’t usually write negative reviews, but this is after far too many bad experiences.

So if you don’t mind poor customer service, you might be okay with the food. But personally, I won’t be returning now.

Tinseltown Gants Hill

Used to go here after school everyday and still one of my regular places to hangout!

Customer service and cleanliness of tables/ menus could be improved. Desserts are good and a lot to choose from

2 stars given as for the first time in a very long time, we were left shocked by the lack of customer service received.

We went on a Saturday night and ordered the Nachos sharer but was told they had No salsa!! Then we wanted to order sweet potato chips and again told, that they 'ran out' of those too.

We've been coming to this place for the last 5 years and to be honest this was the first time ever we felt that we had wasted our time and money in this place!!

However the only thing which made the night slightly positive was their food. The food was still as nice as before and that was and is, thier only saviour.

Unless the customer service improves dramatically I do not see us spending money at this place for a long long time.

Nice & tasty food though menu has changed recently and it's very limited in terms of options.

The worst food; it was cold and there was a piece of hair in my waffle. The dishes were not properly cleaned, washed away my appetite, I couldn’t even finish it because I was disgusted. The glass and straw seemed to be used before as they seemed antique.

Fat Joes

They were ok. Now after they try to do pizza I think the customer base is gone.
Food is clean and good

HORRIBLE
We ordered 3 pizzas and the taste was horrible. I asked for chicken tikka and they put the wrong chicken and wrong Ingredients 3 times. I ordered a spicy pizza and they gave me a plain pizza.

Hung up on my husband while he tried ordering food then when we went to collect it the owner got rude and didn’t give him a drink. very disappointed in joe

I have made a complaint to Redbridge Pollution and Environmental Health. We have seen and recorded video of your business as emitting thick dark charcoal smoke into our street and road making it hard for us to breath or open our windows to allow fresh air to come in to the house and we can not hang our washing out as it ends up becoming contaminated with your fumes from cooking and we end up chocking on the smoke exhaust. As you are based in a residential area you should consider using a different extractor or having a filter fitted to your extractor exhaust so as it purifies the smoke before it is pumped out into the local area.

Beyond Boba Bubble Tea

Great, speedy, and friendly service! The beyond brown sugar milk tea is a personal favourite of mine, and this is my new favourite place to get it from now. The best place for Bubble Tea in the area. Would highly recommend.

I’ve been here a few times now and love it. It’s so beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The drinks are always amazing and the staff are so friendly and polite. Well worth a visit

Amazing bubble tea! The staff are extremely helpful and on hand to suggest the perfect drink suited for me. I personally loved the fruit teas, had a much larger variety of topping flavours than other bubble tea shops I’ve been to before. My favourite is their unique frozen fusion menu, again something other shops do not sell. A great twist to your traditional bubble tea! Overall a classy and modern store, would definitely recommend.

I have now come here twice and the drinks are the best! I got the Beyond Brown Sugar which is immaculate, good balance of sweetness and the tapioca is soft and good!  I also got the Beyond Blue frozen fusion which was refreshing and different compared to what other boba shops offer :) The fruit teas are also just as good and will keep coming back

Best bubble tea place! Deffo worth trying the honey peach tea. You will be left wanting more !! Also love the brown sugar milk tea x

All our bubble teas are suitable for a halal diet.

Loaded Gourmet Burgers and Fries

I come to this special restaurant every couple of days because I like the  special atmosphere that is outline this place. The team is very friendly and well trained. The service is exceptionally fast. Needless to say, the food you get is highly distinguished. I have been there many times and I was always delighted. The expense is honest. I recommend this place to to everybody.

I celebrated my PhD last night in this delicious restaurant. I am glad to say that we enjoyed a fabulous evening and the place was no doubt one of the reasons for this happy celebration. The stuff  helped in a sweet way, the cuisine was appetizing and my friends were very  overjoyed. We shall surely come back again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Usually the food is nice so I don't mind spending a bit extra, but today the food was horrible. The fries were undercooked which meant I had to put them in the oven for 15 mins to make them edible.

Edit: ended up giving it one more try and the quality was good again. Must have been a blip with staffing

After a long time I got finally what I want in a burger.. fresh and juicy .. I loved it

Cant go wrong with the classic burger and sweet potatoe fries👍

Loaded Burgers

Plush, exotic decor serving both classic and modern Lebanese dishes

Al Souk

staff were friendly but food was not great at all. certainly not the best; I would say the worse mixed grill I have ever had! do not waste your money.

Interior is very nice. However for the price the food isn't worth it. They're very strict on altering the menu. Food was average. The booths are small too.

The restaurant is nicely decorated with arabic theme lighting. However I found the dishes to be  small portion, over priced.  They even added 12.5% service on slow service.

Lovely atmosphere, great food and milkshakes. Recommended​ as it has a slightly older crowd.

It was a terrible experience absolutely crap made me fast an hour extra and then the food was crap smelt like a crack house the food is not even snapchat worthy feel sorry for the boy Muz let down we feel like p****s now

Nova Parlour

Food was amazing, the firecracker, lamb chops and the masala fries especially were lovely. The place looks really elegant and has this great relaxing mood. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants try something new

The food, the atmosphere and the staff were amazing. Excellent service and a special "Thank You" to the chef, we loved the food. Definitely coming back with the family again very soon.

The interior is really nice and elegant, the restaurant itself has a great vibe to it with welcoming staff. The firecracker stir fry was delightful but those masala fries were something else absolutely beautiful! I'll be visiting again that's for sure!

Interior and food was to a high standard. Definitely recommending the fire cracker chicken. It was cooked to perfection.

Interior is beautiful. I personally only had the desserts and I was not a fan. The description on the menu didn’t match the actual food. The French toast was given with a tiny scoop of ice cream and banana was not caramelised. The tiramisu had no flavour it was very dry because of the cocoa powder on top. Not to mention the waiting time, there are 4/5 waiters working and food took forever.

Great attentive customer service, good selection of savoury and sweet options. As a trio we got a variety of sweet and savoury items: the chicken tikka slice (nice but not enough tikka), the steak slice (needed more filling but nice gravy) & the sausage roll (good size but no seasoning) and a jam donut (good), cream donut (yum) and a yumyum (nice when warmed). Overall, good experience, small things could make it ace but can’t complain 😀

This bakery has been there at least 30 years and it used to be good. But now the service you get from the young staff in there is so slow you could watch grass grow. And the prices of their products have shot up recently.  Bearing in mind the amount of years this bakery has been there serving its local community. The new owners have lost the plot there customers in and around there are now elderly.  They won't be able to buy things in there living on their pensions. I think a slice of cake is something like 2.50. They seem to think they have a shop in Mayfair.

Everything is halal from savouries, to sandwiches to doughnuts. No pork or alcohol is served on premises. And we are certified by the Halal Authority Board.

Watan Ilford Restaurant

Excellent restaurant. Comfortable seating and great customer service.

Food is exceptional and very affordable for a night out.

Will definitely be back.

Lovely place. Lovely minimal decor. Staff were nice and attentive. Food came fresh, hot and tasty. Would definitely be going there again

Good food and taste amazing.
Love how the kitchen is exposed and you can see how your food’s getting made.
I hope they will increase the seating area and keep on top of the cleanliness.

Food was amazing. The service by Taj was superb and the waiting time was minimal. We went as a group of 12 and the service was highly efficient. Highly recommended 👌

Nice food and best service, Only issue is seating capacity they should start taking bookings to avoid the long queues outside. Food is delicious will go again and again.
Defo recommended..👍🏻👍🏻

Convenient, quick-service, flame-grilled Peri Peri chicken

Five Lads Goodmayes

Great service yesterday ! Was very impressed with the phone customer service! Took my order and have me a realistic time scale for order. Went into collect my order the receptionist was a amazing and I could even see the chef in the back he seemed very passionate about the food. Over all a great place with great food. The team are great at what they do. All the staff had a smile on their faces. I felt really welcomed! I definitely recommend them

You gotta eat here. Hands down the best grill chicken around. I love the sauce they use..nice big portion of chips and generous amount of chicken in the variety platter. 

To the owners: please please keep to this kind of cooking and portions. We will always come here to get out treat.

Amazing food. Great staff. Tasty food well cooked and awsome flavours. 100% Halal.

My boyfriend and I decided to try Five Lads for the first time today and we couldn't be happier with the food!

The food tasted incredible, it was better than Nandos. The peri chips were unreal and chicken had lovely flavour. Really liked the Peri mayo.

My boyfriend said that was the best chicken wrap he has ever had. 

Only negative was that there could be a bigger selection of sugar free fizzy drinks.

Will DEFINITELY order again!

Staff and customer service were pleasant. Ordered the 15 wings platter and about 5 wings were under cooked which didn't taste nice. The lamb chops were over cooked and lost it's moisture and tenderness. The only decent food was my child's food. Might visit again but not anytime soon.

Five Lads

Dine-Inn London

Beautiful atmosphere and excellent service from the moment we stepped in. We ordered a variety of starters, mains and desserts. The steak was perfectly cooked and juicy. No overpowering flavours, no grease....a hearty risotto! Definitely a place to come back to not just for the food but for the loving atmosphere and happy vibes!

This places live up to the name of a premium steakhouse , but also so much more ! Lots of places claim to have premium quality steaks , but rarely deliver.  This isn't the case here! Mouthwatering,  tender and juicy steaks at really good prices ! Variety of starters that really excite the palate as well as some of the best dry bar offerings I've seen in London . Make sure you stay for desert , honestly blew us away with the quality and presentation ! Great decor as well

So glad a restaurant like this has opened a stones throw from home. The owners are diamonds and have taken all my feedback from a few dinners there now and added my suggestions to the menu and make us feel so welcome every time. Top class food and service and I think they'll be sick of me for the amount I'm going to be going here

Catching up with friends. We each had ordered 3 dishes from starters to deserts. Food is delicious and well presented. Atmosphere is fabulous and service really professional and extremely friendly. We had really great Sunday lunch.Thank you

Delicious food, all Halal and some really good options for veggies too! It's hard to find a good Halal Steak House so this is a go to destination for us. Also the non alcoholic cocktails are 👌🏻

Dine-Inn

Famz Doner Kebab

The best kebab in the town. The bread they use is unique and make the big difference. And kebab taste very good. Been there so many time since open. Kids love the meat and chips.

Good, excellent doner kebab. Simple menu with many desserts and sides. Very decent and swift service, also gives your money's worth.

Have been familiar with the name Fam'z for some time now, The new Doner Kebab Project is very creative in its own way as they are redefining the menu and combinations for Kebabs. Apart from that , the Kebab itself was one of the best I ever had, Very good product in itself, And the ambiance they have created in store is just next level, Everything seems perfect and also the management in rush hours shows they are very good at what they do. Would definitely be coming back and recommend others.

Guy you need to find a way to turn orders around quick. Your business has potential but to keep repeating customers you have to make it a fast food joint. Still waiting 30 mins on. Increase the amount of sauce you put in your kebabs, it's like a teaspoon

My experience at Famz Doner Kabab was amazing; I was drawn in by the welcoming atmosphere and, in particular, a staff member. I was walking when this wonderful staff member approached me and offered me a sample. She was extremely pleasant and courteous.

BIM'S Ilford

Decent food if the staff took their time to correctly prepare it. Ordered a Double Fumy and it didn't have the turkey rations. Wasn't impressed. The person who does the quality check is clearly not doing their job properly

Food is decent but on the expensive side. Prepared relatively well but a long wait.

Worst burger, tasteless, only thing OK are the French fries. We came today for the first time, there was  good reviews I was confident, unfortunately I have to say that its like they took every cheapest thing for their menu, beverages, Sauces, even if you eat in they don't have trays, they give you a take away bag.... I tried burger Tower and chicken tower, all same. Otherwise, staff is professionnal, and food came hot and quickly. I don't understand why people are coming back, sorry its disappointing.

Good quality of foods. Must try double Fumey burger and triple Cheese burger! Also try the fries with Algerian sauce. 🍔🍟

Food was very good. Service was excellent by manager sulaiman, who looked after our bill when we made a mistake on ordering.

Bim's

A fully Halal cafe serving breakfast to the people of Ilford.

Fat Cafe

Great service, great tasting food, quick and efficient, free parking nearby, nice staff, has a slush machine too

Good halal cafe with English and desi style options. I had a full English which was very nice. The portions are massive and can be easily shared.

I got the full English and it was honestly below mediocre. Nothing tasted fresh and the cappuccino was probably made with a sachet.

Toast wasn't toasted properly or buttered well. Mushrooms, eggs and sausage didn't taste very fresh and sausage was overcooked. 

4/10

Excellent place- lovely quick food and decent prices!! Decent opening times!

Downside it’s a bit to small but oh well

I absolutely do not want to give a bad review. I think this place has potential. But please keep in mind customer's feedback. 
° please make fresh parantha. I could make the frozen one myself at home. I was so disappointed.
° omelettes lack flavour big time. I was expecting onions, coriander, chillies and some special spice. But it was so bland and without salt and pepper.
° the big mac type  of burgers had no lettuce and was pretty boring.

On the plus side: the keema curry was pretty tasty.

I do believe you have potential. Perhaps you need to sit down and talk about how you can enhance flavours and run the place effectively. The omelette could easily have been jazzed up with green chillies and a pinch of jeera seeds and crushes garlic ginger. Also, pleeeeeease make fresh parantha.

BBQ Express

Wasn't the most posh, or professional for that matter. However, I enjoyed the casual vibe and the food was amazing. Definitely not what one would expect from the mediocre variety of menu.

I would definitely recommend BBQ express gourmet beef burger which was really nice & tender. The chicken was fresh and flavorsome and sides were nice too.

⭐️ Nice and warm seating place.🌟

The only let down was the waiting time even though the whole place was empty.

We had very bad experience there tonight. They took half an hour and then gave us wrong order twice in 30mins time. After that when we asked for take away they gave us wrong order we ordered burgers and they packed wraps. Really bad service.

I celebrated my nomination today in this great place. happy to tell that it was a astonishing evening and the venue was clearly one of the reasons for this successful evening. The team  participated in a graceful manner, the food was extremely good and my guests were very  happy. We shall definitely return for more celebrations. thanks very much.

I ordered at midnight not having any food at home and just coming back from work. I waited an hour with no sign of my food arriving which I then called the shop to find out my food was not being delivered. They claimed to have called me however not one car had come down my street. They told me nothing can be done about this as they were closing the shop. Very poor customer service never ordering again

Biryani Guys

One of the best biryani ever had outside Pakistan. Great portion size great taste and friendly service.
GOD Speed

Very poor. Ordered chicken biriyani, there is hardly any chicken in there..it looked like thin shreds of lamb..its actually a few shreds of chicken.... Previously I had the same order and there was a whole chicken leg. This place is trying to mislead and shift ingredients about , probably shreds of chicken leftovers from.something else. I feel misled and over charged at £9. Will not order from here again - all I was left eating really was rice doused in spicy curry sauce. They know what they are doing - ripping you off. DO NOT ORDER HERE

The Vegan Biryani was so deliciously good. But, the best thing is the Chai and the talk with Asif. Would certainly visit this place again. This time for the Super Spicy Chicken Biryani.

The portion was too less for the price and the riata was literally watery yogurt too watery. The taste was ok. Wouldn't recommend to others. The shami burger was ok aswell. Wouldn't go there again

Nothing like Karachi style biryani and not fresh its re-heated. Rice was oily and the steam process (dum) wasnt done well. Portion size was too small for the price as well.

Home of the legendary smash burger, in a cozy setting

Cristina's Steak

Wow Wow Wow OMG the burgers are amazing!! The charing, smokiness and the flavours are out of this world. The smokey BBQ brisket burger was by far the best, the meat was so tender and just melted in your mouth with unbelievable flavour. Can't believe I have never ordered from this place can't wait to try more. The best burgers I've had Ever! Highly recommended you won't be disappointed.

Update: I have also had lunch at the restaurant, great customer service and again the food was lovely.

Really enjoyed the food. The Stake was perfect, service was really attentive and friendly. The starter was not so good, maybe it was because we were late. But the stake tho- on point. You can park around the area. Eg Asda

Amazing food and excellent service. The restaurant is clean and a great set up for family and friends. We went for lunch and ordered from the lunch time menu 'Smashed Double Burger' (extra patty) and the 'Prime Bistro Steak' both with fries and the house lemonade. The burger tasted great! The patty is thin and full of flavour it wasn't dry. The steak was cooked to perfection, we ordered it medium rare. Very reasonable lunch time pricing all that for 2 people cost £20! Looking forward to their Sunday roast! Definitely recommend.
