Halal Reviews for Smoke & Pepper Clapton

We did travel quite far to Leyton to try smoke and pepper as they have their viral Flying Dutchman burger which is inspired by in-N-out’s very own Flying Dutchman burger which essentially is a cheeseburger that uses grilled onions as a bun. From what I know it’s the only fast food restaurant in the country that does anything like that and they have free branches in the country I know they have a couple in London with two in East London and one in west. I also got Chicken tenders covered in Algerian sauce, sweet potato fries, strawberry milkshake and a non-alcoholic mojito called Bora Bora. The food The chicken tenders were cooked well they were crispy and quite hefty in size. I normally love some Algerian sauce and I did like the tender initially but for me Algerian sauce is quite intense and I don’t like too much of it. But these were absolutely smothered in them so it became a bit sickening after the first one and I couldn’t finish them because there was way too much sauce on them. The Flying Dutchman burger was okay i definitely think it’s overhyped and that’s coming from someone who loves grilled onions. The onions weren’t that caramelised even though I asked for it to be extra caramelised, the patties weren’t very seasoned, the onions tasted like the outer layer that is normally hard when left on, was left on so parts were soft and other parts were hard to bite through. There was an obscene amount of oil from the burger so it was a hot mess after a couple bites but what made it okay was the peppers that came with it and the fact I added pickles without it, it definitely wouldn’t be worth the trek at all. The fries were good, and their homemade sauces were actually really good. The Bora Bora drink was sweet and refreshing I really enjoyed but the strawberry cream milkshake could’ve been left out because it wasn’t anything special a bit too thick. Overall I think I got the wrong items and if I got different ones I would’ve had a more enjoyable experience but it’s also quite far away from me to say that I will be visiting again any time soon. Rating 6.2/10

Amazing burgers & tenders. I had the big smoke, really good smash burger, very juicy and flavourful. Only thing I’d like to see is some more meat. The tenders are always so juicy and cooked perfectly. Korea sauce is my favourite. Service is really good, and they provide plenty of nice sauce sachets for takeaway. I will say the service has always been slow, but I’m ok to wait for really good food.

We visited Smoke & Pepper in Leyton and tried their newly launched ‘The Flying Dutchman’ burger, along with their popular Big Smoke and Brisket Burger with Gravy. We also ordered the Korean Loaded Fries and Brisket Loaded Fries. The food was of good quality, freshly prepared, and full of flavour. As everything is made to order, we had a 20-minute wait, which was reasonable. We also tried the Pacha Mojito, which was just about okay and didn’t quite match the quality of the food. The venue is relatively small, with seating for around 20–30 people, so we had to wait briefly as it was busy. Burger portions were on the smaller side, but the fries were served in generous portions. The prices were fair for the quality, and based on our visit, we’d be happy to return to try more from the menu.

Absolutely amazing! Smoke and Pepper exceeded all expectations. The food was packed with flavor — every bite was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care. From perfectly cooked meats to mouthwatering sides, every bite hit the spot. We went as a group of 10 and had ordered a variety of food everything was fantastic , we ordered the food and it was on our table within 15-20 minutes . When it comes to sides , the Algerian wings and tenders are soo damn good! There loaded fries , My god mind blowing texture and flavour ! I haven’t had that burst of flavours any where else. The burgers tasted fresh and well cooked with their blend of special sauces just made it a 10/10! The service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows. Whether you're stopping by for a casual bite or celebrating something special, Smoke and Pepper is a spot you don’t want to miss. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

Excellent addition to Brum's food scene. We had the classic smash, algerian & korean bbq wings with brisket loaded fries and their thick milkshakes! Food was fantastic. Parking can be an issue as it is on main stratford road.
