Halal Reviews for Central Lounge Ilford

We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday, and although it had been a while since I’d visited a lounge, this one truly impressed. The atmosphere was calm and inviting when we walked in. The staff greeted us warmly, handed us the menus, and guided us to our table with ease. We ordered the Savacco Passionova shisha, which had great longevity and smooth flavour. For food, we went all in: Punjabi Samosa Chaat – rich, tangy, and perfectly spiced Sticky Lamb Chops – absolutely phenomenal, a solid 10/10 Chilli Chicken Fries – fiery, bold, and packed with flavour Lamb Biryani – deeply aromatic and satisfying, topped with a delicious naan We asked for everything to be spicy, and they nailed it. Each dish delivered on taste and heat without compromising on quality. As the evening progressed, the lounge filled up, but the service remained consistently attentive. Staff checked in to ensure we were happy and offered anything else we might need. Final thoughts: Great food, excellent shisha, and top-tier service. A fantastic experience from start to finish.

The venue was amazing; the food and staff were good. The portion size was a bit small, but everyone enjoyed the food. The ambiance added to the experience, with soft lighting and tasteful decorations that created a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The Indo-Chinese Prawns were bold and tangy with that perfect kick. The Trio Chicken Tikka was tender, smoky, and each marinade had its own unique taste. But the Avocado Chaat stole the show as something refreshing and light to balance it all. Mains 🍛 The Chicken Madras was spot on,spicy, rich, and full of depth, exactly how a proper Madras should be. The surprise star for me was the Methi Corn, creamy, fragrant, and such a unique dish, it instantly became a favourite. Desserts 🍰 The cakes were indulgent but the Lotus Biscoff Milk Cake really stood out soft, rich, and absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were huge across all dishes, which I really appreciate you definitely get value for money here. Extras 💨 To finish, we tried their Special Shisha smooth, flavoursome, and the perfect way to end a fantastic evening. Overall, Central Restaurant & Lounge offers the full experience welcoming vibes, amazing food with generous portions, and excellent service. 100% recommend this place if you’re looking for quality food with great hospitality.

Excellent restaurant with a lounge in the back to have drinks food and Shisha. Staff are well trained, accommodating and fast at looking after patrons. Lamb curry and the kebabs are a must to try here, along with the egg starter. Highly recommend the place to hold your next event.

My server today was Ankita. She was absolutely lovely and made sure to always ask if I needed anything. The food was good. The drinks were amazing. I’ll always come back here.
