Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding — fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The customer service was exceptional; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome.
We hosted our 40-day blessing for our newborn here, and everything was perfect. The team took great care of every detail and made the occasion feel special and stress-free. Our guests were impressed, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate such an important moment.
Highly recommended — we will definitely be returning.

We had the pleasure of dining with you on Saturday evening, and we must say, the food was absolutely delightful. The meat was cooked to perfection and incredibly flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed our night and every aspect of the experience. Our sincere thanks to everyone at Broadway Meze.

Very good food. Never had a bad meal here. Main waiter, I asked his name and forgot it sorry, has a tattoo on his neck though, is absolutely outstanding 👏🏻. He is very forthcoming with recommendations, knows the menu inside and out which really fills me with confidence that they're passionate about what they're serving.
He turned the music down when asked with zero comment apart from of course.
I found his customer service impeccable, better than a lit of restaurants I've attended in the city and is an absolute credit to the restaurant.
I will get your name next time and do another review there and then as you deserve all the plaudits there are.
Well done Meze keep it up 👏🏻👏🏻
I will be back very soon

First time here, with friend. Attentive staff, nice atmosphere, quality food, nicely marinated. Efes beer on tap. Speak Turkish. Good value for monies.

Mixed Grills all round! 🍗

This was our third time at Lokkum and since we enjoyed the  mixed grill before, we knew it would be wrong to go for something else! As always, the lamb shish was tender and the chops and Adana were full of flavour! However, the chicken shish was a tad bit dry. For sides, we ordered chips and bulgur rice, which was a little bland. The calamari was crunchy and we mopped the delicious cheesy mushrooms up with bread! The drinks at Lokkum are also lovely; we ordered a pina colada, mojito and strawberry daquiri. All in all, a great experience!

Mix grill from the up market @lokkumlondon. I really liked this mix grill, nice thick juicy cuts of chicken and lamb. .

Lokkum Bar & Grill

Lokkum was very accommodating, really tailoring their private dining space for my brother's surprise with his friends. The food was great, with good options, and they let us have a DJ and decorate early. It was a great space and an even better team who helped us with everything from the planning to the actual execution. This is long overdue; it was in August, but it was so good that I was reminded to share this now!

The only thing I can’t remember is the waiter from that night, but he deserves a pay rise. He handled the load incredibly well and was very intentional and caring. Shout out to Ertan and his team that night!

I came here for my 21st birthday and it was hands down the best birthday I’ve ever had. The service was so fast and perfect, all items came out on time, we never had a problem and if we asked for something they would bring it to us straight away.

The fact that the whole restaurant was so busy, yet they still have perfect service and gave the best experience. It didn’t even feel busy to me until I walked around and saw. I was never sat there waiting. They really can handle so many customers at once. I’ve eaten out many times and seen busy restaurants struggle, but not this one!

The atmosphere was so welcoming and wholesome, they put a big sparkling candle on my cake when they didn’t have to, they reserved a huge spot for my party and put so much effort into this. The area they gave my party was so peaceful and serene. I loved it.

The effort was really noticeable, the waiters were so respectful. They followed all our instructions perfectly, the presentation of food was amazing! The way the restaurant looked was amazing. The food was cooked and seasoned so well! I don’t usually have lamb chops in Turkish restaurants but this lamb chop was so succulent, all the meat on the platter was soft and appetising. And the live show was spectacular. The lady who performed was very kind! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. It’s perfect for parties and big gatherings. I’m sure you will leave with a smile on your face, just like I did. They are all so hospitable and didn’t rush us at all. It felt very relaxing and peaceful here. Thank you to everyone who gave my family such a wonderful experience.

I took mostly videos because I wanted to catch the full beautiful place, so I will screenshot some of those to share here.

We came here for my husband’s birthday and overall the food was really good. Fresh, tasty and nicely presented. However, we specifically chose Lokkum because their Instagram mentioned live performances on Friday and Saturday nights, which felt perfect for a special occasion. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were told that the performance had been cancelled last minute. It was quite disappointing as I had looked through many options and decided on Lokum because of the vibe and the promise of live entertainment.

So while the food and atmosphere were nice, I left feeling a bit let down that what was advertised wasn’t delivered, especially on a night that was meant to feel extra special.

We booked Lokkum Bar & Grill for our Christmas dinner party for 16 people, mainly because of the advertised entertainment and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing.

Despite booking in advance, we were seated in a secluded corner of the verandah/conservatory, away from the main restaurant and entertainment. This was never communicated beforehand and completely undermined the reason we chose the venue for a festive group event.

Service was poor overall. Although our waiter Kesavan was polite and did his best, the bar service was abysmal. Drinks took far too long to arrive — to the point where food was served before drinks, which is unacceptable for a pre-booked large party.

To be fair, the food itself was nice, but good food alone does not make up for poor organisation, lack of atmosphere, and extremely slow bar service — especially for a Christmas event with a significant bill.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend Lokkum Bar & Grill for large groups or organised events.

Felt mixed emotions coming here. Returned after a few years and it just didn’t feel the same. We went at 9:45 (the restaurant closes at 11, the kitchen, at 10:15) and felt extremely rushed. Waiters seemed annoyed when we wanted to order additional drinks, were reluctant to give us the dessert menu because ‘the kitchen was about to close.’ With such a high service fee, you’d want to experience better service! We paid the service fee, of course, but felt the luxury of dining was spoiled by the constant reminders of closing time - even though we’d had ordered as soon as sitting down and left by 10:30. I wouldn’t recommend, only because I have paid the same bill at much nicer restaurants, with much better service and this wouldn’t be one I’d return to again.

On a positive note, the lamb Adana was wonderful, everything else, sub-par. Also, mocktails were not good!

Sahara Grill

I'm honestly pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my meal here!

For starters, we got the prawns and the chops. The chops were cooked so beautifully I had to fight my husband to get the last one 🤣. The prawns were cooked to perfection!

For mains we got rib eye steak and a rib. The steak was seared beautifully and had such nice flavour with the sauce provided. The rib was fall off the bone, flavourful and so worth it.

For drinks we stuck to cola, but next time will be trying the mocktails because we saw a neighbouring table rave about them.

My kid loved the cat robot waiter, and the staff were diligent and receptive. Thank you, will definitely be coming back!!

Went here with few friends. Interior of restaurant is top notch. The service started good but towards the end we had to wait for drinks and bill. We Buffalo Wings, Chicken Tenders and King Prawns. Starters all good. Mains was T-Bone steaks and Rib-eye steak. The t-bones were ridiculously big and tasty. My Rib Eye was good, soft but had a funny taste source on top of it. Would of been good to get a choice of flavours to choose from. Overall very good

I had an amazing time at sahara grill leyton we had the sahara feast and it was a feast indeed. Mr Ridwan was extremely professional, courteous and offered a warm service to us and we are definitely coming back for more. And the food was absolutely delicious.

Great taste, I really liked the quality and taste, chicken and coleslaw was top class! However 20£ for 5pcs lamb chop not justified. I highly recommend chicken with 2 sides but avoid 20£ lamb chops.

The food was sensational !!! Absolutely loved the lamb steak that was recommended by Azha whose customer service was excellent, he was kind, patient and very helpful which made the whole experience enjoyable and worth every penny. Fantastic all round and will definitely go back again !

The Sushi Co - Woodford Green

I had the chicken katsu curry and the crispy prawn tempura sushi roll, and both were great in their own ways.

The katsu curry was lovely – the curry sauce was rich, tasty, and proper comfort food. The chicken portion could have been a little bigger, and it would’ve been nice to know if they had a spicier option, but overall it really hit the spot.

The prawn tempura roll was the star of the meal. The sauces inside were delicious, everything tasted fresh and clean, and the crunchy onions on top gave it that perfect crisp and crunch.

Shoutout to the staff as well – there were two guys working when I went in, and even though it was past 10pm, they were welcoming and friendly, with smiles on their faces. Great customer service.

Would definitely come back!

Was average food, actually quite pricey, no discount available for student (as far as I could make out). Nice staff, not too long to wait. Better Japanese is Epping, won't be returning. Good that it's a 5 on hygiene rating. Has a toilet, gives glasses of water if you ask.

I had such a wonderful experience with the sushi here! The fish was incredibly fresh, tender, and full of flavor — you can really taste the quality in every bite. The rice was perfectly seasoned and held together just right without being too heavy. Presentation was beautiful, with each roll looking like a work of art.

We ordered the CHICKEN KATSU CRUNCH, CRISPY EBI URAMAKI, chicken katsu curry and the chicken katsu Sando. CRISPY EBI URAMAKI Was definitely the highlight, it’s a must try! The food was really quick, it all came out within 20mins. The customer service was great! The food was delicious, would come back

This restaurant is truly amazing! The sushi was not only fresh but also incredibly delicious. The presentation was beautiful, and every dish was prepared with great care and skill. The staff were very friendly and professional, always welcoming with a smile. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable, which makes the dining experience even more special. I will definitely come back and highly recommend everyone to try it at least once. 🌸🍣"
