Pie Republic Upton Park

Discovered this pie mash shop as I was in Stratford. Pie Republic is your ordinary but not so ordinary pie mash place because it is halal food which is brilliant. As well as your traditional breakfasts and pies, they also have some Indian inspired pies like the Cox's Bazaar which has spices, cheese and coriander and the Shepherd of Shimla which is Indian inspired with Indian spices and Kidney Beans. I couldn't try it that day because I was full so I just had some tea. Anyhow, it was hard deciding on which pie to get but after looking at the menu so many times, I think I will be back for the Shepherd of Shimla which is quite unique. Will definitely return SOON for the pie!

The restaurant is a really nice place. The service is slow, great place to kill time if you are not in a rush for food or just want a place to chat and chill, the customer service is super slow. One time I had to go to the kitchen to ask the guy for assistance. The food is really tasty as we had 2x fish and chips and 2 drinks which came to roughly £21. For that same amount you can literally go to down the end of road and get 4 fish and chips and better service. Let’s be honest for that price you can get better from the cafe next door. You are literally paying for the fancy decor and nice clean tables and seating area. Also they served the fish and chips on a wooden board which had so many wooden splinters shooting out of it, you literally will be going home ill.We asked for it to be in plates of which we transferred ourselves as the guy walked off. The Customer service was super slow or quick to take the money slow to get a response. However despite it's fault, the food was tasty and came in a big portion and chips comes in small portion, the atmosphere is peaceful and clean. Great for a long lunch, or chill out catchup or meeting session. Not recommended if you are in a rush or looking for good price value.

Delicious and timely delivery. Friendly and appropriately socially distancing delivery driver. Moist pie, perfect crust, wonderful choice for a night in! Highly recommend!
