long-time customer of this underrated restaurant, staff’s very friendly and always serves fresh hot food. i personally love their kofte and garlic sauce (we got lamb kofte this time, will try ribs next time) location’s very convenient, right in the heart of hackney central

I was greeted by the wonderful bubbly personality that is radhika who kindly ran through the menu for me. After selecting lamb ribs they sectioned off a whole section of their grill and added complementary grilled veg to my order. They topped it off with the beautiful presentation by the chef/artiste that is (tari/leri/laki)

This is no longer BBQ X-Press. I was very disappointed in the disrespect I received from the staff. They changed the name and everything else alongside it, it seems like. Food is somewhat decent but overly priced. I paid £10 for halloumi and chips. I just about managed to get 50p off. My friends all bought kebab and chips for just over £13-£15 without a drink. I believe everyone would agree the price difference is ridiculous. Even when it was my friends birthday I expected some better hospitality. I am very disappointed in the service and pricing especially in this so called restaurant.

Long term customer here, multiple years with weekly visits. Recently brought in the gourmet burger. I've had my fair share of these and this is by far the highest quality I've ever tasted. My first of many in this takeaway. ❤️
