Randy's Wing Bar (Hackney Wick)

Fantastic yummy food. It was so delicious I could have inhaled it and had another portion! Will definitely come back.

THIS PLACE ON A MONDAY NIGHT IS A MUST! you only get the choice of 3 types of wings but my god are they good. Hot every time and such good value for money. Me and my friend went through about 70 wings!! Caution- The buffalo wings are HOT but so so good!

Great food in a great location. Limited choice of beers but they're good, and the main attraction are the wings anyway.

Lots of variety to keep you coming back for more, and some really interesting flavour combinations. The extra hot buffalo wings do not mess around, though the real highlight is the Gong Bao wings – fried to perfection with Sichuan pepper and pickled pineapple.

Very good food. Wings are much better than the burger. Considering convid19 you eat outside but this doesn't seem to have affected the taste of the food here! All around good food!

Great wings.  But need to be more consistent.  Chicken thigh burger is very good too.

KFC Leyton Mills - Retail Park

A lady was waiting in the queue for 10
minutes, as everyone else. On the moment she got her order, it was already cold, as the meal had already been exposed but no one called her number.
On the time she got her meal is was cold, and she told this employee that her burger is cold, as him reply " Bin it, if don't like it". I took a picture of him .
So if you want to be treated like that, best place to come is KFC Leyton ! Thx  buddy for being rude !

It's not what was advertised, it's a regular order for me (due to late night shifts) the size of this is below what the regular size is, I have tried to explain the situation to the staff but their rude behavior did not allowed me to finish first and the next thing that I've been told is that they do not understand the problem with the size of my portion and would not so anything to help, did not even consider to get a refund, but wasn't offered that either

Been there many times as it’s a quick stop for lunch when I’m at work. I only come here when I get bored of Other eating places in the Mill. Food isn’t the greatest compared to other KFCs I’ve had, but certainly ain’t the worst either (thank god for that)! Their chicken is sometimes so crusty that it grazes the inside of my mouth! Also, I’m not fond of their chips with the skin still on it... but that’s KFC in general, not just this branch.

This is the worst KFC I have went to. I would NOT recommend this place, I went there when it was not busy only 2 customers in the shop and it took 10-15 min just to serve me I bought 4 wow boxes and all of the chicken were tiny. They take ages despite the fact they are supposed to be a fast food services. They did nothing about the chicken size

if you go there at certain times when food is being cooked fresh it is nice.
otherwise KFC standard offering

HFA has certified KFC's products in these stores, and the store environments, as halal. KFC has also ensured that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards employed in the UK, and has consulted leading animal welfare groups about this. KFC insists that all poultry is stunned before slaughter. HFA allows the use of a technique called 'stun-to-stun' - a pain free process that makes the animal insensible to pain and suffering. A verse is also recited from the Quran at the point of slaughter by an appropriate person and the poultry will not come into contact with non-halal meat at any point in the supply chain. KFC only buys high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, and this will not change.

Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

Nando's Westfield Stratford City

I haven’t been to Nando’s for probably close to 6-8 years. I remember the portions being large and everything being super tasty. We ordered a platter for two and it was the biggest disappointment. Fries are way too hard and so average. Corn nothing to write home about, same with broccoli. Chicken was alright but portion was way too small. Safe to say if I don’t go to Nando’s for another 6-8 years, it won’t be missed.🍗

Bustling but they will get to you swiftly, staff was quick to get us to a table during bank holiday when it was busy

I noticed that the staff was more attentive but patient and helpful despite how busy it was

Food took just 15 minutes to arrive and it was very hot!

The staff were amazing on my visit, props to them

Went there on a busy Friday night, amazing food ,amazing cosy busy vibe….also the host Mr.Shreyas was brilliant, working fast and really communicated very well! Good to see a good team leading a restaurant and keeping its reputation at top, good luck Shreyas and team.
🥂 🥂cheers

It was super crowded the weekend we were there. Queue went by fast.

Unfortunately our peri peri chicken were quite dry, was not as tasty as how we knew it. The sides especially mashed potatoes were dry as well.

Excellent experience as usual 👌
Good food , efficient service.
Halal food.
Great staff.

Nando's

Nando's Stratford

I don't usually give reviews....but I have to here... Food was great and it arrived on time. Biggest problem was the service... My friend and I entered and we were not guided with what to do and where to go from the entrance... So we stood in the queue and got to the till only to be asked to wait at the entrance for a staff member to serve you a seat. Very poor service... I understand it was busy but at least don't make your customers wait in limbo.
Also, we ordered a takeaway afterwards and when we collected at the specific time we queued to collect our order at the till only to be told step to one side while other customers are served. We waited 20 minutes and the food was stored in the warming cabinet all while we were waiting.
Staff need more training on customer satisfaction.

So to start off I haven't been Nando's for a long time, lets say a few years at least, which is why I did not know what to expect.

What I ordered-
I ordered a large meal for and few family members. I got the Full Chicken Platter. This contained 4 Garlic bread, 2 portions of Peri Fried (You can change this with any other side listed), and 4 large pieces of chicken (Whole chicken cut up). With bottomless Drink (Essentially unlimited drinks while you are there).

The Shop also allows people to select how spicy the meat can go from (Extra Mild all the way to Extra Spicy) I got the Spicy heat for my chicken (2nd highest) for mine.

Price-
£28.00 ~
So as you can see this is quite expensive for what the meal is. Don't get me wrong the items you get arn't bad but this is far too much still. The prices have definitely gone up and this is a sad truth with current economy :/. Keep this in mind its no longer really affordable in terms of pricing. My friend had some tiny meal and it was £18 pounds. Just a joke really.

1/5 for Pricing

How it tasted-
Right off the bat the experience with the chicken was mixed. On one hand the legs were quite tender and delicious and the heat really added to that flavour. However when it came to the breast section for the chicken it was quite dry which was quite unfortunate. Although the spice did still give it flavour.

The fries were decent, but I would of preferred if they were slightly more crispy.

Nando's has a range of different sauces to offer but sadly has no mayo at all which was quite disappointing. I don't remember if they had it before but either way would of been nice to have since even a chicken shop has that.

Drinks I don't have much to say other than the fact it was affordable and you get good options. Overall would recommend the juice to be honest. Especially the bottomless option

Food was 3.5/5

Store atmosphere & Staff -
The shop seems to have been renovated and has a much nicer feel to it. You do overall get a decent vibe from the shop and makes you feel comfortable in that way. With staff again it was mixed where some staff were quite nice while others would just ignore you even though they look at you. Somewhat disappointed generally with that.

3/5 for the store for both these things combined.

Overall Ranking
3/5
All in all it was okay but not amazing. Nandos hasn't really changed much despite how long its been around aside from aesthetic of the shop. There are better places to eat and I would personally avoid Nandos and go elsewhere.

The food tasted different than other nandos, but the manager was so kind and paid attention to the details,  so our time there was great because of him. The atmosphere was nice, the people were kind, the place was clean. Overall we had a great time, enjoying everything about it. We will come back for sure.

Nando's never disappoints. This branch in particular had a revamp and it looks fantastic. The customer service was good and efficient. The food, as always, was well seasoned and with generous portions. Overall, it was a lovely lunch.

Nando’s everywhere has a fairly decent level of food quality-wise. Hence food was good.

Chicken was well cooked. However, the burger, we got the butterfly (thigh) burger, that was terrible, chicken was over cooked and dry. The bread was so stale and hard to bite into.
Do not go for the burger, have pitta rather.

Now onto customer service, appalling. Absolutely disgusting. The lady serving at the front did not even want to be there, rude, no manners whatsoever.

Next time, will go to a different branch, as the Stratford one is very bad overall. I would not recommend.

We have 385 restaurants, 72 of which serve only Halal chicken and are signposted both in the restaurant and online. A small proportion of chicken sold in our other restaurants may also be Halal.

Modern fusion Japanese + Peruvian Nikkei sharing plates

Bamboo-Mat Stratford

The food is creative, joyful to eat and beautifully presented. Delicious. Care and attention seems to go into every plate. The staff were extremely attentive despite it being a relatively busy Monday night. Will be back 💯

Delighted with this new restaurant in East Village!
Great dining experience in this take on fusion food. Staff is very friendly and every single plate is filled with amazing tastes and textures. Definitely worth visiting and will certainly return in the future!

This place is absolutely a hidden gem in Stratford area. Finally a decent restaurant in the neighbourhood area of East Village.

The restaurant has great selection twist of Peruvian Japanese theme. So if you love raw food, this is the place to be. Although they do have some of the cooked dishes too so suitable for everyone. My favourite dish was the grilled octopus, it really had some good flavours and the texture of the octopus was tender and juicy! The sushi makis were alright nothing too special about it. One thing to really feedback would be the sauce the restaurant uses. It was a bit salty when added to some of the dishes. Overall, I think it is a great restaurant to come for some great Asian twist food!

Good addition to Stratford area. We've been at Bamboo Mat and we were surprised. The food was delicious, fresh, vibrant, witt a mix of flavours that stimulate your taste buds. The service was attentive, without overdoing it. The staff clearly knew the menu and what to recommend. The cocktails were well balanced and flavorful.  Highly recommend their Hamachi Tiraditio, Sea Bass Ceviche, and Lamb Chops. Their Sushi is great too, with high quality ingredients. If you visit them, be adventurous ☺️.

I was impressed with the new restaurant.  I enjoyed delicious dinner with my friends. Service was excellent, atmosphere was on top, the taste of food was delightful, aromatic and yummy 🤤

You Me Sushi

Fantastic sushi. Was a bit sceptical about the quality of the food. But after trying sushi I can definitely say that I will come back. Nice service. Decent prices and tasty sushi! Would recommend to everybody!

I have placed four orders through Deliveroo/Uber Eats. The sushi is consistently good and the fish tastes fresh. They are my go-to sushi take out.
Better than more expensive restaurants out there. Once I had a sushi roll come a bit broken (might be due to delivery driver) and Uber refunded me for it.

I think some sushi rolls are very good and others are a bit more mediocre. Best ones I had are Rainbow, Salmon Crunch, Dragon.

Been there a few times before was ok not brilliant, however this time they provided a teeny piece of salmon, was not good quality.
The Marylebone branch is the original - top quality, good food, this franchise is close to home and convenient for us, but they ruined it for us with the poor quality, I don’t think I’ll be visiting again.

The shop with kitchen is very clean where we enjoyed the food very much especially Chicken katsu curry with rice that is reasonable price. Really I appreciate their service also.

I really enjoyed the meal I was served yesterday as I visited them for a quick lunch. It was such a wonderful experience for me to try the meal from another country.   I'll be coming around often for more 😊😊

We have recently improved our processes to remove mirin (alcohol) from our preparation process. All our chicken tempura is halal but our chicken gyoza is not halal.

The Chimichurri Ribe-Eye Steak was the star of the show 😍👌🏽

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

Lovely decor and a chilled but lively atmosphere.

The menu is a Cuban, Havana inspired one that boasts 24hr marinated chicken as it's speciality but unfortunately falls flat on promises of flavour.

The sauces and glazes, while nice, only sit on the meat leaving it a little bland once you get through the initial layer. In fact, bland was the recurrent adjective that came to mind for all the dishes I tried including the curry, the rice and the cassava.

Nothing had great flavour bar the chicken wings in honey glaze starter.

I went during happy hour but was unhappy with the prices at only 4 cocktails being available to choose from and each costing £9 and then the second costing £3. £12 for two drinks from a incredibly limited menu was just not my cup of tea. In fact a cuppa would have been much more welcome!

The butterfly chicken main was thin and bland again and for £12 comes with some salad in the form of rocket leaves and a few other green bits but no chips, no rice, nothing. Any of that is extra with refried and sweet potato chips being around £4.

Not the most expensive but certainly no bargain.

All in all disappointing as it has all the potential to be lovely but sadly falls short on weak flavours and high prices for me.

Really nice place, went there for dinner and ordered halloumi to start and the a chicken skewer and some chips which were amazingly spiced, could taste fresh basil on them. Cocktails were good and service was superb. Would 100% come back again.

Beautiful Brazilian restaurant in Westfield Stratford London. Lovely steak 😋 I must say cooked in perfection with the combination. The sauces were amazing and really give the right taste. Would recommend this and come bsck again.

We went when it was not busy. Very good starters of deep fried chicken and the parmesan risotto balls with aioli were the highlight of the meal! Divine! I would go back for just the starters.

Unfortunately this meant the mains did not feel as tasty so hence 4 stars. X Burger, tasted like a normal burger,  decent but not wow. The pulled chicken flatbread was better.

Dessert of grilled pineapple tasted like teriyaki pineapple somewhat weird. The churros was nice though. Drinks good. Overall nice meal attentive staff and worth a visit.

Really lovely place, drinks were delicious. Happy hour from 5-7 2 Drinks for £12.
Food was amazing, padron peppers, tofu and pineapple scewers and ceasar salad- didn't take pics sorry. But definitely visit!!

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

Casual Thai eatery with group tables and benches

Busaba Westfield Stratford

Omg! Delicious delicious! Love it. These dishes are very parfumed/scented and i am talking about the taste 🤣❤️ you need to try to get the full view of this. A lunch for 2 it was maybe 50 pounds, i forgot the exactly amount

An authentic, hearty Thai experience. Located on the walk between Stratford tube station and London Stadium, this venue was perfect to stop in for a meal before the concert we were attending.
Our starters consisted of satay chicken skewers, which was rich and loaded with sauce, and crisp calamari which was impeccably cooked and loaded with flavour. Following that up, we each had a Pad Thai, which we both agreed was delicious and filling.
Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here and would happily come back myself (maybe without the beers next time!).

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They are very thoughtful too. The foods that we order are just average. The only nice food is the pandan chicken. I think the price is a bit expensive though.

By far the best meal I've had this year!!

We ordered;

Prawn Crackers
Edamame (Chilli)
Green Thai Curry (Chicken)
Prawn Chilli Rice
Fish Cakes
Coconut Rice

I would definitely recommend the curry & rice, you won't be disappointed.

Food is flavoursome- prices are somewhat reasonable. We had to share a table with other strangers which was odd. When we asked questions about the food, waiters informed us that they have not tried the food which is ridiculous. Not sure who is responsible for such a rule but how can waiters make personalised recommendations if they don’t even know what the food tastes like .

Mango sticky rice is sub par but still tasty .Waiters were attentive and very welcoming .

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

Busaba

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

One of the most exquisite place in the Westfield shopping mall. Find it on the ground floor in a quiet area. Service was courteous and efficient. No alcohol is served but would recommend the Soy milk drink for a full Malaysian experience. Portions are generous and ingredients fresh. My delicate stomach had no problem and I could continue shopping without it being upset. Really delicious dishes. Will be back very soon!

The owner lady comes out to be rude. Roti Canai wasn't worth it. The quantity seemed less. Not visiting again.

I loved this relaxed humble cafe. First time trying Malaysian food and it was delicious. Halaal also.

Can't wait to visit again.

Best Curry Laksa and ketayap.
The staff is really friendly and helpful plus the food is fresh and delicious.

The food was ok, although the meat was very tough and hard to chew. This is a place where people order at the counter, and then someone brings the food to the table.  We ordered two starters, two mains and a hot dessert. Everything came at the same time, except one of the starters, which came when we were already half way through the mains. The dessert was cold and chewy when we finally got to it.
And even though service is this bad, there still is a 12,5% service charge in the bill, not shown in the prices on the walls.

The Egg Truck

We came here two weeks ago and the food is scrumptious! We liked it so much that we came here again in the same week.  I ordered eggs royale and they were perfectly done, also big portion so qualiy price is amazing. I would absolutely recommend this place and urge everyone to go (if you like eggs made in all forms and shapes).

This small but mighty delicious food truck serves up innovative fare where the star ingredient is the humble egg. Extremely tasty and reasonably priced.

Had ordered 2 and was Delicious especially for such a simple concept.
`Royal` was perfect with yummy smoked salmon in the traditional muffin , the other we went the whole hog and got the `fully loaded` with haloumi and guacamole in a soft brioche bun. Great value for money and worth the price

This has quickly become my favourite breaky stop

If you have not tried what are you waiting for??

Also Halal 😍

Their cooking is genius! Not less than any michelin star chef!  Perfect balance of flavors! I cannot recommend enough! Truly deserving more recognition! Even the coffee tasted amazing! Plus attention to cleanliness during Covid times is commendable for such a small establishment! Very well done!

We use a separate pan and tongs for our Halal turkey bacon.

Maize Blaze - Colombian Street Food

Order a delivery, it took a bit long but it was well worth it!

Almost the whole menu is gluten free and vegan! 🌱

Generous portions, fresh food, South American taste. I already added it to the list of my favourite take away. My absolute favourite was the arepa, my husband loved the empanadas!

I was very impressed with the veg option at this place. I'd never tried columbian food and felt the flavours were amazing. A combination of plantain, kidney beans, rice, potatoes and salad was incredible. Every element of this dish had a different flavour and all those combined together went really well.

I would definitely recommend the food and the staff were amazing too.

How can you rate a place? That doesn’t exist? Was looking forward for some Colombian Food but what’s the point didn’t explain properly the location and when I try to find it was so dark and very confusing and the time we find it well wasn’t open for a while that’s what the other container said.
So for that reason deserve no stars

So many brews on tap including pale ales, larger and IPA. The arepas are so delicious I got the Jack bap. I am not usually a fan of arepas but this one, I would go again for it.

So delicious and filling, the rice was so mouth-wateringly good. I’m vegan and gluten free so it was amazing to actually order out and it be so amazing. The man who served my food was absolutely lovely too

All our chicken is halal, but chorizo and beef is not.

Philadelphia inspired restaurant serving mean chicken wings

Passyunk Avenue (Stratford)

Delicious food and great service. Hats off to the Chef and James Shaw who was a huge help in explaining menu and flavours to me while I was trying to decide what I wanted. He's warm and approachable as well as accommodating. Looking forward to introducing my friends to the venue!

The chicken wings were a 10/10 and the cheese steak is mouh watering.

I’m not usually one to leave bad reviews but unfortunately felt this one merited it.

I ordered the Turkey haugie and it was literally a basic baguette, lettuce, onions, Turkey slice and a slice of burger cheese - no different then what you could pick up at your local Tesco. It felt like I was customer in an Apprentice task where they cheaper out on the materials and maximised their profit!

With chips and a drink that cost £12!

So after a great shopping session we went to this American Burger restaurant and had these burgers. Quantity was fine but the chicken had no taste and was only boiled and I felt it was smelly as well. Chips were fine, cheese was fine but disappointed with the chicken filling.

Overall: 5/10
Never going again

First time having the "Philly Cheese Steak" and it was somewhat underwhelming. I guess the hype kind of killed it for me. Meat was ok and the bun was soft.

Let's start from this. I'm probably one of the biggest fan of the Passyunk cheesesteak. I used to get it back in 2015 with my colleague every week. They had a stall under my office in Moorgate every Wednesday and it was the best.
Two years ago I went vegan and I stopped having cheesesteak. Today I gave them a chance since I saw a vegan option.
I feel very disappointed. First of all there is no vegan cheesesteak option. They only have a sausage with peppers with no cheese. See the pictures to see what it looks like and tell me if you will be happy to have it because I was not.
In 2022, almost 2023, having such dry vegan meal is not only disappointing but also frustrating. I can easily make a vegan cheesesteak in my house, nowadays you have so many vegan replacement for meat and cheese that every customer will be very happy. Instead they decided to have a bun with some sausages and peppers in it and nothing else.
If you need to have a bad vegan option just don't. I would prefer to not have the option at all.
Also as you can see on the picture there was some cheese on the bun, clearly a mistake but it shouldn't happen..

We serve Halal. Certificate available behind the counter.

Las Iguanas - London - Stratford Westfield

I love coming to Las Iguanas for a cheeky cocktail and some nice food. I am currently in love with the Brazilian Fried Chicken. I could honestly have that as a meal it is so good! The nachos are great too! There are loads of options to be had on the menu.
It is a great space for friends to meet or to go on a date or to eat out with family. I would suggest watching how many cocktails 2-4-1 will really you ordering loads but these drinks really run up the price on bill 🥴

My family members enjoyed their fish dishes
But the chicken wasn’t great at all, we ate it we were very hungry 😅 but it wasn’t the best

Drink we’re ok and the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. I think they may have been short staffed so we had to remind them about cutlery and our drinks a few times.

It’s a nice spot, I’m glad I’ve tried it as it’s been on my list for a while. I would go back for drinks and probably starters

This places is nice, but I went yesterday with some friends and we waited for long time to have our order and the Nachos arrived first than the beverages (cocktails happy hour last all day long, nice!) Just one lady was attending the whole room with a beautiful smile, rest of the staff just walked around, so the service was not good. The veggie burger I ordered was good but not the best I have eaten. Conclusion, cocktails are good, however the food is normal for the prices. PS: I forgot to take pic of the burgers we ordered. Sorry!

I love this place and the food is so good! The cocktails are fancy and there is always a happy hour! The staff is attentive, service is quick! I always order chilli con carne and I would like to say that recently it has been changed due to their update in the menu but not in the best way! You have a big and diverse menu to choose from. Sweet potato fries with a sauce is always a jackpot! It tends to get busy so book in advance if possible! The food is authentic and delicious!

There is plenty of seating and food options. Started off great with the Gambas, with it being cooked well and good flavour. The chicken burger was good too. Enchilada lacked flavour. Not a place I would go back to again.

All chicken is Halal. Ask for a Halal menu.

Las Iguanas

Balans East

I had the steak, my sister had the full English. Both were very tasty. Employees were great. There was an error with our coffee. However this was corrected and the lattes were well worth it. I should go there more often. The error was handled so well that they keep their 5 stars

Interesting menu options, tasty food. Primarily brunch items but all menu items available all day - including the delicious salted pork donut.

High quality ingredients - excellent coffee blend, lovely salted butter, good sourdough bread.

Friendly service and a good price. Don't bother with the breakfast option in your Westfield hotel, come here and enjoy proper food.

Where else would you get a lobster and bacon eggs Benedict.

Opulent brunch, par excellence.

Went in for breakfast, comfortable seating, had banana French toast, the syrup is too sweet and stinky, the toast is like a brown bread which I normally prefer sourdough in French toast.  Coffee is nice and costs £3.80 which my husband said a bit expensive, waiter was busy it was like one staff is serving the whole restaurant. The impression of the lady bar staff wasn’t very friendly, the bar was near the entrance door, she had no smile or greetings when we came in and when we left which is very unusual in a restaurant. I would expect staffs would smile, say hello and thank as basic manners.

Had breakfast here because it said it had halal options. Ordered English breakfast but the only halal option was to swap the sausage/rashers with chicken, ordered French toast which was very sweet for me but my friend liked it and pancakes which tasted good. Service , ambience and presentation was good, taste and halal options on the menu could be improved.

Good quality and quantity! Went with family for dinner. We ordered beef ragy mac and cheese, fish & chips, and the green grains salad. The mac and cheese was creamy with sufficient beef but lacked the traditional cheesy texture and flavor of this iconic dish. The fish & chips was great - served with mashed peas and sour cream, the fish was crispy and well seasoned. The green grains salad was composed of various grains such as quinoa along with broccoli, green apples, and green beans - terrific flavor combo!

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.

Authentic, traditional street food of India

Indi-Go Rasoi Westfield Stratford

It's really nice to have Indian cuisine in Westfield. It may be a little pricey, however so are the other restaurants in the food court. It is still worth it occaisionally. Many nice vegetarian and meat options, fast service and food, though simple, is satisfying and gives you your fix if you are craving Indian subcontinent food. :)

This is the third time I'm coming with my wife, food was awesome. Proper Indian authentic food with reasonable price.We ordered hyderabadi biryani and hyderabadi murgh ka salan. It was very delicious. Friendly service. Me and my wife enjoyed the food, Lovely atmosphere. I recommend everyone to go there and try proper indian food.
Thankyou

The food was raw and cold. 1st they served me the food and uncooked food and got it replaced. They just heated it and gave it. The service is extremely unsatisfactory. I would never visit this place for Indian food.  It's Indian streets food nowhere close to it .

The food is good in taste usually but I have had several negative experiences too, especially the chole chickpea curry has always had a foul taste and has been uncooked, which was surprising to see. I think if they improve the quality of their food, the restaurant has lot of potential to become a great one.

Had an worst experience of Butter Chicken.. People go to Indian Restaurant to taste Indian Cuisine style but this is not at all matching it to any extent plus pricing is way expensive.

The Chef needs to know what butter chicken taste likes.

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

@twopeasfoodies's review of HS&Co Stratford on Instagram

I went to @hsandco for my last meal before Ramadan, actually, it was for my dad's birthday and he likes steak so I thought I'd take him out. 
This was my second visit and my first visit was not the best in terms of my enjoyment of steak. I wanted to give this place another go, I ordered a ribeye medium for dad and one medium rare for me. 
Sadly, once again it was a massive let down, I was served a steak that had a nice seared outer layer but uncooked and rare in the middle, I had to send it back. I was going to post a pic, but honestly, it's gross. 
My dad is a simple man and doesn't complain much but he was not impressed! I cook steak at home and I can cook a better one than what's served here, dad was in agreement. 
Dissapointing and a place that I can't recommend.

HS & Co

Just found this place for a bite of lunch.
We went for the lunch specials, I had the beef burger with smoked cheddar and my partner went for the chicken burger, both came with fries also.
The food was great, really tasty and fresh.
The service was fantastic, the girl taking our orders was very professional and friendly.
The food arrived quickly and exactly as ordered.
Great value, great service and great food.
Recommended.

This is one of those places that don't catch the eye but when someone refers you to it and you try it out, then you know what you've been missing out on. The lamb ribs are out of this world. Steak is cooked to perfection, I also had the Courgette fritters which are delicious and the wings were juicy too. I don't go back to many places but coming back for the ribs definitely.

Been there few times in the past and what I remember from the past was excellent. So decided to go there again after a long time, I believe the menu may have changed slightly, just a tiny bit but still excellent, shop decor styling is very nice, food still tasted brilliant, decent pricing, welcoming and friendly customer service. Highly recommended, will go there again sometimes soon.

Used to come here years ago, so glad to rekindle my love for this little local gem!

The ambiance is so relaxed, the staff are so friendly but not invasive and standing over your shoulder.

A menu with a difference! You can’t find an authentic halal roast dinner as good as this anywhere nearby. Great tasting, nothing too heavy unless you over order.

The drinks menu is modest but we’ve had almost every drink and can say they are so refreshing and well made.

Chocolate soufflé ALWAYS a runny centre, never disappointing.

Soon as we walked in I was impressed. we got there a bit early but they let us in and sit down and scope out the menu. The waitress, (Eileen or Helena, I can't remember her name) was superb! Her customer service was fantastic. She was lovely to chat to, and explained that the back area of the restaurant was for bigger parties or private bookings and explained that it was used to pray too. We had a nice chat about the non alcoholic drinks and she even gave us a sample to taste as what we had requested, they didn't have. I got the chicken wings as a starter which were delicious and the chicken and cheese thing with rosemary potato as mains. Although it was a very large portion so couldn't finish it but without asking, the waitress popped a takeaway box on our table. She was so so lovely! Will definitely be back.

KFC Stratford - The Broadway

It's a good reliable KFC. Chicken is always good and they're quick. It's quite a small place, so sometimes they are too packed and there isn't enough room to sit or even queue up. The tables aren't always cleaned but I don't blame them; it's a very busy KFC. Nevertheless, food-wise I've never been disappointed here.

is a really dirty place... Not clean ... Not at all hygienic neither they give your order properly.. i will highly
Food is not good not cook properly

Second visit and the same. Filthy and dirty tables. Temperamental self order screens. Poor service from staff… and always have to return back to counter and ask for missing items from your order. ‘Solly, solly… won’t cut it. Sort yourselves out. Won’t be returning here again. Wouldn’t have come back the second time but for my son who was wanting KFC. Next time I will tell my son no, not this place….

I tried to get take away yesterday around 9 pm! Waited 20 min for order. Asked for refund another 5min. I though I got refund, but no. I had waisted 25 min and £20. No receipt to go and claim money either.
In a mean time Deliveroo drivers got served about 20 meals and business prospering.
Please don't bother go in, it is dirty, very busy and you will not be treated as a customer.

This place is a total disaster, usually I just go there and get my food my self however this one time I order it on Uber eat and they forgot to give my chips and the drink that I brought. They don’t even check what they are putting it out. Plus the staff are completely trash the staff are so rude, if you craving chicken and chips - cause that what kfc truly sell - I would just recommend you to go to the nearest pfc shop truth be told. Plus the place is really dirty.

The Alley Stratford Westfield 鹿角巷

So happy that they open the alley in Stratford as I used to go all the way to central to get bubble tea. Unfortunately as a first day opening staff made a bad impression, 2 members of the staff just at the corner making comments to other members of the staff that are working when they are just standing there doing nothing. As a customer it looked really bad. Overall glad that this shop is open. Looking forward to come back

The Alley finally arrives in East London!

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

This place has been plastered all over halal food pages for a long time, so we decided a visit was long overdue 😴
.
The steak itself was average and, as we expected, not of the fine quality you get at places like Zelman Meats. However, my steak was cooked just how I like it: medium/medium rare. My friend asked for well done and hers was also medium rare (edging on rare even!) which was off-putting for her. The Mash and Chips were good, and the Chicken Cheese Balls were delicious. I think we’d visit again if we were in the area, but it wouldn’t be first on our list!

Steakout Stratford

Went for a birthday meal. Was on a Monday so the place wasn't busy. Music could be heard in the background but was nice and mellow and not overbearing.

The staff kindly waited whilst another person was making their way to the restaurant and once there the orders were asked. The service was quick, all the food came out together and the food quality was really good. My steak was cooked medium-well and was eating to cut and chew.

Overall, the experience was really good and would happily dine there again.

My family and I went  to  the Steakout to celebrate my mother's birthday.  The food was amazing staff was friendly.  We were a group of 10 and all our orders came at the same time and was hot and delicious and full of flavour. I would definitely come back again and I would definitely recommend Steakout has a lovely atmosphere. Reasonable price for food and drinks. A member of staff bought out my mum's cake and everyone sang happy birthday to my mum.

As a party of eight, with most being children, the staff at Steakout were very attentive and considerate! As soon as we entered, we were welcomed by a couple of staff and offered children's high chairs, activities to keep the little ones busy and quickly given comfortable and spacious seats.

The food never disappoints. We ordered an array of dishes including chicken and mushroom pie, a few burgers and children’s strip meals. All food came within a matter of minutes and the fresh mojitos were the cherry on the top! Amazing customer service. We look forward to visiting again

Absolutely delicious!
We just pop in for a quick dinner, friendly staff. The manager did a great job and asked us a few times if we needed help or suggestions. We ordered five dishes to share delicious food, well done.
Service area, I will say it was good, our waiter was ok, we got mains at the same time with starters so our beef was cold when we eaten but good, soft and delicious.
I have already presented to my friends and will come back to explore more.
Thank you for a nice evening!

Excellent service and food, food was served nice and hot was very tasty, was served by Tapu great server accommodated us very well on all our requests and also recommended a certain steak and sauce which was very nice. Overall experience was very good, all staff were very welcoming definitely recommend to try this place if you haven't already.

@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 Kitchen

A great place to buy fried chicken. Great options, a nice selection of wings, sandwiches and friend chicken.
The spicy chicken sandwich had a nice slow burn, the fries had a good seasoning to it. The biscuit was soft, crumbling and buttery taste. Chicken pieces were cooked to perfection,  a lovely tasting crunchy exterior and soft well cook chicken.
A great experience and much better than KFC. It's a shame they don't deliver and you ha e to be very patient with the ques, as you can wait a very long time to get your food.

Is this the best fried chicken America has to offer us? After all the hype on social media about your chicken? This? Surely not, I feel sorry for you guys honestly. This food was absolutely disgusting. If it's possible for food to die again after it has been cooked then that's what happened here, this chicken was hit with death twice. Dry, factory flavoured yet flavourless somehow, overcooked, looked like it had been fried 15 times yet cold even after ordering it and waiting on that "fresh batch" type of waiting time. The biscoff drink was the only thing that was nice but since you was already in minus points it doesn't save you from me telling anyone who is thinking of visiting your "food" place to STAY AWAY AT ALL COST. Save your money and save your time. I definitely do not recommend. Not once, not ever.

The food was great. We tried a little of everything. Spicy chicken sandwich was really nice. It definitely had a nice spicy. The wings and pieces had a nixe crunch.
Cajun fries were on point. For the vegetarian the Cajun red bean burger was really good. The American style biscuit was good but not as fluffy as it should have been. We may have gotten a over done batch.

Not a usual eater of fast food. Gladly surprised by the spicy chicken sandwich. Super crispy and flavoursome. Really liked the hot wings as well. The mango habanero sauce had a lovely flavour with a decent amount of spice. Chips were not good at all. But they were from a delivery so it was expected they were going to be bad. Next time I will try them in their restaurant.

Heard a lot of great things about this place, I've been wanting to go for a while but theyve had over 30min queues for over a month since they opened...each time I visited the lines were way too long to wait...finally I had my chance and went to order several items.

First of all the spicy chicken burger is nice...also compared it to the non spicy version which was very bland... with this the spice definitely brings out the flavours and you're missing out if you opt for the other one. The cheese they use lacks flavour compared to other cheesy burgers I've had.

The hot wings are great in flavour but the batter is a bit thin for my preference, I've had better.

The fries look great with the seasoning and a bit of skin on and the taste is good (not amazing or anything but just about good).

I did the mistake of adding a biscuit for dessert...these aren't desserts...instead you get a bland tasteless cracker/scone with nothing to put on?...I got this based on recommendations online... I'm confused with what this goes with! Am I supposed to dip this in gravy or something which I didn't order? I think they should've made this clearer for the non American folks...as its sold individually rather than as part of a set of items... it was a disappointing discovery at the end of the meal.

Overall they really handled the spicy flavours well but I'm not too fond of the other aspects described above...glad to have seen what the hype was about but I'm not impressed enough to pay that much for another visit unless I'm already in the area, the queue is short and I'm bored of the abundance of other options available around this place.

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.

Pasta Remoli Westfield Stratford

Overall I really like the concept of this place - you get to choose the pasta shape, the sauce and the cheese. The pasta and sauce were both fresh.

I rate it 4* because the flavours were nice, but I found the tomato sauce a bit tangy and the mushroom sauce a bit under salted comparing to some of the best and most traditional Italian pasta dishes I’ve experienced - but this is just my preference!

I would go back based on the concept. Also it’s away from the craziness of the food court on the 1st floor in Westfield, which I like.

What an awesome place, love the pasta, love the fantastic staffs. Always delicious.
chef LELE not only a fantastic chef but what a lovely guy and always accommodating!!!

Is always a pleasure eat such a well done Pasta, I would like the portion to be a bit bigger, but the quality of the food is remarkable.
Recently had a ravioli filled with aubergine and courgette and ciambella, strongly recommended.

We love this place. It is ideally located in a quiet spot on the ground floor. Lovely vegan options

The pasta was amazing as always. Just the lady on the till did not know how to use the system today and it took ages to order food. Also, she did not know much about the beers they are selling. She needs proper training as her behavior wasn't the best.

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

Taco Bell

Ordered 1 x crispy chicken soft taco, 1 x soft taco supreme and 1 x crunchy taco supreme in store and had to wait exactly 32 minutes to be called for collection. I wonder what the rocket science it is to take this life-long 32 minutes to make that and all the scientists (staff) looked lost in the kitchen. All the 3 tacos I received were cold as ice and tasted ridiculous.
I wish I could put 0 star!

Managed to get there at a quiet time 2pm weekday. Ordered one of the combo on the touchscreen and waited couple of minutes for my food. Food tasted good from the burrito to the taco and the fries are very tasty. The drink need to fill yourself and it can be very busy because it just opened recently.

Extremely disappointed. Ordered three different times with no lettuce but they didn’t care, they put lettuce on my tacos every time. The chicken taco is dry and flavourless, had to wait an hour for my order, not worth the money, won’t be going back again

I’ve been to many a Taco Bell around the world AND IN ENGLAND and this is probably the worst. Tacos had tiny amount of meat and fillings. They didn’t have napkins. Chips and food were cold. Quesadilla was soggy. Gross. Do not recommend stay away!!

I'm a NBA basketball fan , you must be thinking what has Taco Bell got to do with it , I watch NBA on ESPN and they would advertise Taco Bell always but we never had one in the UK untill now ,
I thought why not give the Old Taco 🌮 Bell a try and to my amusement it didn't let me down,
The prices are reasonable,
Shop itself is busy but that shows how good the food must be ,
Ppl serving are really polite and took my order with no lettuce just sauces and chicken in mine ,
I tried the crunchy taco, soft taco, with spicy fries,
I really enjoyed it because it tasted fresh and tasty,
I will come back again if I'm passing through Stratford mall and will buy it again,
10 out of 10....

We have halal food available at this branch.

Lokma Westfield

Lokmas's service was excellent. I received a warm welcome and was seated promptly. The food tasted delicious, and the portions were of a good size. I ordered the wrong drinks when I asked to change it there was no trouble at all. The location and aesthetics of the restaurant are spot on and perfect for a lovely picture, especially next to the tree. Chefs kiss, recommendations 10/10!

Was taken to Lokma for a surprise birthday dinner, & I absolutely LOVED IT! I got back from holiday (Turkey) about 5 days before hand, & I can honestly say, the Turkish food @ Lokma, was SO much nicer, then what I even had to eat while I was on holiday 🤭

100% I will be going back, 5⭐️'s from me! The atmosphere 👌🏽 the stuff, cocktails, & of course the food! Yummy😋
Great value for money 😉

Although, I like Turkish food. I was not impress with this restaurant. Some of the staff were not too friendly, the music was far far too loud and food though nice was inadequate for amount of money we paid. There was also a two hour window, but the food did arrive quick. Would I recommend this restaurant to family and friends, no!

What a vibe!!
This restaurant has everything you need to have an amazing time.
The food was amazing, entertainment was on point, ambience to die for, the staff are beyond friendly. They ensured we were well taken care of.
Alex, the manager is amazing!!!!
Thank you all 😘😘

Absolutely brilliant atmosphere and service. Food came quickly and was so flavourful and succulent.. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu!! Actually nicely surprised to find this gem in Westfield. 5 star experience!!

Lokma

Rhythm Kitchen Stratford

I order some meal from the this restaurant for my elderly West Indian parents who fancy this cuisine. Overall delivery was fast and the meal were delicious and prepared very well. I would buy again and recommend.

Had goat curry and jerk chicken there this afternoon. Both were excellent. Would definitely recommend. Staff very pleasant as well.

YES, YES, YES, YES... When even the scotch bonnet pepper sauce is that authentic - YOU KNOW the food CANNOT disappoint. These guys are NOT messin' about. All day Every Day - Yes! Sweetness for days!
