“We had tapas, very tasty, just the right amount for a late lunch which gave us room for chocolate banana waffles dessert which was delicious, large portion, ample enough to share. Our waitress was very pleasant & brought our order quickly. She also sorted out our booking for Christmas Day lunch at the Beehive. Would recomend Harvester for nice food & fab atmosphere.”

“Great food, all dishes tasted delicious. Will definitely order again!”

“Went for brunch with family not knowing what to expect. Once food arrived on the table we were pleasantly surprised with the way they have presented the food, every item and ingredients was thoughtfully added. Food was tasty and we all loved it, customer service is 10/10. They go beyond to take care of customers need. I liked the atmosphere. No wonder why this place is thriving and I have already visited 2nd time with my friend. This will be my favourite go to place for breakfast or brunch for sure.”

“We had an amazing meal on Saturday. The service was some of the best I’ve ever had. All staff knowledgeable about our order and seem to be enjoying themselves. When the staff are happy it sets a lovely vibe for the restaurant. I loved being able to see the kitchen staff preparing the meals. The food was excellent, great choice (more than I expected as a vegetarian) and everything was so tasty. The drinks were a particular highlight- fabulous wines, cocktail and gin. Will be visiting again!”

“I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. The dishes are well presented and the food is delicious. Service was delightful and very professional. 10/10”

“Had a great experience at Apna Des. It was late night and they were about to close but they were kind enough to serve as as their last customers for the day. Ordered Chicken Karahi and chicken biryani and got the suggestion for Garlic naan which was really amazing. Both of the main courses were lovely, loved the quantity too. Staff was really helpful specially Annie, kudos to her. Overall: 9/10 Definitely going back very soon”

“Chinese lad at the counter 10/10 service quite polite. Good food I recommend the sweet and sour chicken 10/10 would buy again. Ate at the new world takeaway the other day and found this much better. Btw I got my suit dirty and got it dry cleaned at ash-dry cleaner and got it back at the same day.”

“If you are going to come at here and you have never had Albanian food before I suggest you have the Tirana specials first. I love the Tirana bean soup with meat prepared teh traditional way. Absolutely delicious and definitely get the drinks from Albania. Glad I finally stopped by this restaurant after passing it for many months.”

“Always great food ! Quality portions and lovely batter on the fish… Best fish supper take away around”

“Just ordered a takeaway from here and loved the food. Full of flavour the curried goat amazing and the oxtail delicious Will definitely recommend this place. first time we have ordered from here and wont be the last . Thank you team x”

“Best falafel wraps I have had for awhile. Very filling, thin wrap and just right and the fresh filling ingredients. 5* Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you keep the mission going.”

“I was not unfortunately unable to attend this establishment, however the view from outside was not grotesque. Warm interior, great wares and some amicable google pictures to help give a great picture to what dining here would look like. 5 stars.”

“Found this place on instagram. Friendly owner and staff. Menu has a really great range of food to choose from and a delight that it is all halal. I decided to go with the chef special as that what caught my eye. Was packed full of flavour and every aspect of the dish had a slight kick and warmth to it, which I loved. Rasta Pasta definitely nailed it. My son also loved this dish and he’s a very picky eater. Will try the lobster in the future. I very highly recommend this place if you like Caribbean/Soul food.”

“Really underrated. Food is delicious, the chicken burger, wings and chips were perfectly cooked and had really good flavour. The lamb chops were juicy, soft and huge! Service is always great too! Well priced as well. Thank you for our meal :)”

“Amazing restaurant. As I entered the restaurant the decor was the first thing that stood out to me the tables were well organized, they had television screens that displayed all the menus and the seats were trendy and comfortable. Not forgetting, the food was amazing I ordered the smash burger Korean wings and a shake. The burger was made to perfection probably the best burger I’ve ever eaten the wings were a little sweet to my liking but still delicious. If you are ever in Barkingside this is a restaurant you can’t miss.”

“I've only had chips and sausage in batter. Best chips ever. 11/10!!!”

“10/10 very nice food, loved it, place want u to come again. Recommended.”

“One of my fav place. Foods always top quality, reasonable price and good customer service. Recommend”

“Lovely Keralan food and friendly service. I went there around 5pm on Saturday and was not busy at all. The staff were very friendly and polite. I had masala tea and masala dosa. The tea was very nice and had that typical Indian spice notes. The dosa was lovely , accompanied by Sambar and coconut chutneys. It was all very tasty , especially the Sambar, which had a very authentic taste. I can definitely recommend this restaurant for someone who fancies some Kerala food.”

“We went out with 4 families to this restaurant, and our original impression was that it was too small. However, the waiter there was very kind and added the tables there for all 14 of us. The atmosphere was really nice as there was a speaker blasting music through the room and don't get me started on the food. It was cooked to perfection, and I think I had more food this meal than in my entire life. The biryanis and currys were scrumptious, and I had no words to explain how happy and pleasantly surprised all of us were. The waiter also gave us lots of complimentary dishes, which were also amazing. Compared to most restaurants the food was a reasonable price too. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants authentic and unique tasting food from India.”

“I was recommended to come here, and I'm so glad I did. We forgot to book in advance (as they get very busy on weekends - make sure you book if you want to go!), but they still very kindly accommodated us. We were extremely impressed - The food was all excellent, all delicious and properly cooked, arrived quickly. Service was amazing too, waiters and management were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was good. A lot of families, parents with infants and groups of friends. Bathroom was very clean, well-equipped and the decor is up to date as well. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, I'll be coming again!”

“Food was enjoyable and generous portions. Clean tidy. We had a lamb biryani and a lamb burger meal. Apart from slow cooking g time the food was hot and tasty. Slow time could be due to Ramadan. Free dates and salad to help break a fast despite being Christian. A very nice touch and well recieved. If only all religions were so welcoming. Price was wonderful and definitely value for money. Will be back again.”

“Great pizza for affordable prices very fresh and the service is great”

“Fantastic service. I got my order wrong. They went out of their to help and correct my order. All staff are very polite and friendly. The restaurant is very bright and clean. Thank you to all the wonderful staff. Definitely recommend to anyone”

“For years one of my favourite places to eat whether inside, or outside. Perfect place when i eat out alone, as it's not a crowded place, or i wouldn't on my own. Staff are always friendly, helpful and fast service with great tasting food. Always can't wait to start eating even more when plates presentation always laid out with so much effort and thought put into”

“Don't go to many places on their opening week due to my thinking it will be too busy and I hate waiting for a table. However Ive seen this place get refurbished for a few weeks and the inside deco just was eye catching, so thought I had to visit this place. Went on the 3rd day of opening and was full house but luckily we got a table straight away. Due to the business there was a wait to get the order In and for the food to come out but I must admit it was worth it. Firstly the deco of this place is one of the best I've seen, so unique and elegant, was told by the owner the wall deco was painted all by hand. Food wise now managed to try a large variety of the menu as there were 7 of us eating so tried a bit from everyone and overall would give it 4 out of 5 stars, high quality ingredients were used, flavourful however felt the presentation could have been more wow factor to match then deco, hence the 4 stars but overall for everything definitely 5 stars. Management was amazing also as they weren't serving a dessert menu during opening week but the owner went back and made us an exclusive dessert just for us as we were the last table. For Thai food in East London I would say this is the place to go.”

“Really nice small spot for a cheeky pint and a curry. Very family friendly. Definitely worth a visit. All you can eat for £18 as well! Can't go wrong! However, I personally did not see any disability access. So just a heads up, lots of stairs to get to the first floor! Correct me if I'm wrong!”
