Delicious lunch at a cafe in Barking

“I haven’t had such a tasty pizza since i visited Italy. The order was quick and waiting time was short, the portion was amazing with a great price. Everyone's attitude and customer service was very good. I highly recommend this place for a good and tasty pizza to eat with your family as the environment is cozy and warm, the place is also very clean.”

“A lovely small café with incredibly warm atmosphere and people. I enjoyed a tasty tuna sandwich with nice filter coffee and tried lentil crisps. By the way, the prices are way too low.”

“Best place to have a breakfast in the area! Always stop here whenever I have a chance”

“I eat there almost every day!! perfect food, friendly people, lots of choices on the menu... and the warm seating is priceless!! thank you”

“Really nice food and friendly staff. I’ve been there for years now and I absolutely disagree with the negative comments and i don’t think they relate to this place. Now under new management better quality and big portions.”

“Great breakfast nice and hot good service and all for u see £6 well done”

“I am always on the hunt for a high quality halal breakfast place. Just so fed up of over priced, sub standard menus that just don't hit the spot. Until I found De Cafe Lounge on Barking Road. It is near the old West Ham Football Ground and walking distance from Upton Park Station. Plenty of parking nearby, free and paid. You are welcomed by friendly staff, a nice clean premises, large tv screen and lots of breakfast options. You can get lamb donner in your breakfast plate, yes you read it correctly, LAMB DONNER. It is sooo tasty, you will love this place. The tea seemed to have a sprinkle of safron on it, it tasted so nice, I orders another one. I never have two couples of tea back to back. The owner Imran is a lovely chap, knows his food and understands customer service. While I am writting this post, I have decided I am going to go there for breakfast NOW! Salim Patel”

“I love Ali's Deli Cafe! The service is always friendly, and the food is delicious. It’s the best breakfast spot in my neighbourhood. I love going there on weekend mornings, the atmosphere is cosy, and the place has great energy.”

“I work in Newham, so the britannia is my local cafe for break time. Been going there for nearly 2 years, the food has always be fantastic and the staff are absolutely brilliant. Wouldn't go to a different cafe.”

“A brilliant example of a decent local cafe that there is a real lack of in Barking. Popped in largely by chance (the place we wanted to grab lunch was closed) it looks a bit worn down from the outside but once we got in, really good cafe style English breakfasts, generous portions/good value for money. The biggest thing I wanted to stress was the staff, both really attentive from customer service perspective and just really nice folk! Would heartily recommend and will certainly be back.”

“I made a visit to the try the food at the Barking Road branch with a friend of mine. I had the Okro-Ogbono soup with beef and pounded yam. The other options were assorted meats (including shaki/tripe) and fish however, the beef option was plenty enough for me. The food is warm, flavourful and has a perfect amount of spice. It was perfect for my taste palette as I enjoy spicy food. The staff explained the meat and fish options to me clearly and were friendly to us. I recommend you to have a try if you're ever near Canning Town in East London! PS. We had a conversation with a lady whilst waiting for our meal and she clarified to me that Nigerian people eat there regularly so thats how you know its lit.”

“Great breakfast, good all day menu. Nice and clean and very friendly. Worth a visit....”

“Cheapest cafe I know of and being a truck driver I have been to a few and the lady that serves you is so polite”

“Nice little place, one of the few coffee shops that doesn’t close early in this area.”

“Very nice Restaurant, very good food and good prices”

“Good food at a decent price... been going here for years. Warm and hospitable people.”

“Always friendly staff and great food at very reasonable prices !”

“The best coffee, very friendly and nice staff, my daughter birthday party take place here and was amazing. Highly recommend”

“This cafe occupies a corner of Barking Learning Centre (an "up market" version of Barking Library) and is staffed mostly by local people who have learning disabilities, and are given training. The chef is professional and provides a good a la carte selection, as well as daily lunchtime specials. My favourite is the Relish Burger (comes as beef or veggie), but does tend to put too much salt on the chips (what any American cousins reading this would mistakenly call "fries"), so ask him to hold off (there are salt cellars on the tables!), which comes with a decent salad garnish. Not sure of opening hours, but closes mid afternoon. It can be booked for evening functions. Prices £-££.”

“Everything we tried on the menu was fabulous. One of the rare times you taste a dish that really makes you say "WOW!!!"”

“Best caramel karak chai I’ve had. Customer service was friendly as well.”

“I tried the smashed Avacado on sourdough with scrambled egg. The food is absolutely delicious and healthy, a choice of goodness I’ve been waiting for a very long time in Canning Town, as it’s now only filled with greasy takeaways. The Milk Tree is an oasis of high quality and extremely tasty healthy meals. Plus good coffee and delicious cakes and pastries if you’d like a sweet treat too.”

“Take this in, the Chops here is 10/10. If its your first time here grab the 6 piece, switch up your chips to curly fries and tuck in. (for £17 pricey but you wont regret it)”
