Crave Joint Forest Gate

No Consistency in food.. This is my third time ordering from Crave Joint. The first time was when they were based in Brick Lane, and honestly had no complaints – the food was tasty, well-made, and everything looked and tasted like what was advertised. Fast forward to today, ordering from their Forest Gate location, and I’m genuinely disappointed. We ordered two Crave Boxes with two different burgers, but were given both the same burgers. What’s the point of choosing different options if you’re just going to give the same? The pizza in the box was paper-thin and hard. Overcooked. Nowhere near the quality I had before. It used to be fluffy, fresh, and a solid part of the meal. This time inedible. Coleslaw – it was literally drier than the Sahara Desert. No mayo, no creaminess, just plain red cabbage thrown into the box. It looked and tasted nothing like what they post on social media. The advertised coleslaw looks creamy – ours was again inedible. And the sauce tub? Was there even sauce in there? It was such a tiny amount, barely covered one bite, let alone a whole meal. All of this for £17.50 per box? Absolute waste. I really expected more based on my first previous experience, but sadly, this order fell way short for the second time. Crave Joint, please do better – consistency matters

I saw a lot of promotional videos about this place and was really looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The doner had a strong, off-putting smell that made it completely inedible, it seemed either very old or extremely poor in quality. Despite the bright red colour, don’t be fooled by the presentation. The pizza was rock hard, and although we ordered pepperoni, we were given margherita instead. The fries were overcooked and had a burnt taste. The burger was okay… edible, but nothing special. Honestly, the only thing I enjoyed was the berry cola. The food presentation looked great, which gave us high hopes, but the taste and quality didn’t match at all. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.

Ordered the Family crave box and a number kids meals alongside extra burgers for a get together. Grateful that they delivered the food on time as it was out of the delivery catchment on just eat. However arrived cold and the crave box was missing home made coleslaw and the chips barely had cheese on top, the kids meal also had missing drink and items listed on their menu- especially as it was over £100 order I felt disappointed. The burgers included in the crave box were okay. The rest as it was cold unfortunately didn’t taste great. Sadly complete let down and won’t be revisiting/ordering again.
