Halal Reviews for Watan Ilford

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Fantastic! I had an amazing experience at Watan! The food was bursting with authentic Pakistani flavors — rich, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted freshly made and full of depth, from the tender kebabs to the flavourful Chicken Karahi. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, creating a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. You can really tell they take pride in their cooking and hospitality. If you’re craving genuine Pakistani cuisine, Watan is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to go back!

We visited this restaurant on Tuesday night around 10:30 PM. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. The seating area was very comfortable, and the staff treated us with great respect and hospitality. It was my first visit, it was little expensive 🤭 but I would highly recommend this place to everyone.🫰🤤

A good restaurant but needs to work on it's hospitality, management and taste. Detailed information below. Taste : 2 / 5 Hospitality : 1 / 5 Ambience : 3.5 / 5 Area: congested tables Reviews on the food: - chicken wings and chips, wings were tasty but too small. Instead of promising 10 wings and serving mini wings. Rather give 6 or 8 wings that are big. - Chicken saag didn't have the taste. It was too bland. But considering the place I would say it's not bad to eat bland food. - Lamb chops. This was the WORST dish I ordered it felt like the chops were just overnight marinated with lemon, pepper and a lil ginger garlic paste and just tandoor roasted. I asked the waiter to talk to the chef and ask him to improve it mentioning a few spices and a method of roast. He went back and informed maybe his shift leader and I see them 3 look at my table and having a discussion but not working on what I said. The tables are very closely kept to one another, people passing by happen to stumble passing by. No space for waiters themselves to pass by.

The food was fresh, tasty, and full of flavour. A special mention to Sana for her excellent customer service — friendly, attentive, and made the visit even better. Highly recommend!

I visited Watan on a Tuesday evening around 8:30 PM, and as always, the experience was excellent. We ordered the large platter, chapli kebab, paneer curry, chicken karahi, and keema naan—and every single dish was bursting with flavor. The taste is consistently 10/10, and Watan rarely disappoints when it comes to the quality and seasoning of their food. That said, when the place gets really packed, the food might not come out sizzling hot temperature-wise—but it's still warm and delicious. It's something to keep in mind, especially during peak hours when the kitchen is clearly under pressure. The ambiance can also get hot and humid when it’s full, which may be uncomfortable for some. But honestly, the amazing food makes up for it. Price-wise, it’s a bit on the higher side. I’ve noticed they’ve increased prices generously over the years, which is understandable to an extent, but it does push it into the “slightly expensive” category for what it is. Overall, Watan delivers fantastic food, and if you can handle a busy atmosphere and a bit of heat, it’s absolutely worth a visit.
