East london eats in London

“What a lovely surprise! I was in that area and googled for a place to have Lebanese food and I come across Lebo! Their menu is creative, they present Lebanese food in a modernised way which is really cool! They have an extensive healthy menu with dish names like "Eat like Schwarzenegger" which I found very creative. Was impressed with the Falafel, Moutabal and Shawerma dishes. With good marketing this place can be a popular Franchise. Tip to the restaurant would be to add the ingredients and calories to the healthy dishes, and improve the Humus recipe to be par with their Moutabal. Their seating and facilities are good and maintained, music wise they had adult Rap music so keep that in mind in case you don't like that or taking kids with you, if you ask them I am sure they will play something more family friendly.”

“Really wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff. We ordered the set menu B which was really good value for the amount of food and quality of it too. It was super quick to come out too which was great. We will definitely be back!”

“This place is incredible! They totally deserve the 5 stars. Extremely attentive and kind staff. The interior is very cozy and most importantly, the food is the main reason we would always come back! Our favourites were the roasted cauliflower and the kadayif dessert that came with a cheesecake cream.”

“Got the sharing roast for 2 with beef and pork, absolutely unreal (gravy was average but I’ll allow it for how good the rest of it was)”

“Best breakfast I had while on vacation in London. Staff was very friendly. Beautiful presentation. Almost too pretty to eat. I will definitely be back on my next visit to the UK.”

“Had this amazing breakfast at this Cafe.It was really delicious and mouth watering breakfast comes with affordable price.They maintain good hygiene.Their staffs were very friendly and cooperative.Totally recommending this place if you want to start your day with an amazing breakfast & a cup of coffee.”

“Great local pub with good selection of beers. Bangers and mash was delicious and very well priced. Will be back.”

“Great place to shop. Has a range of Turkish grocery and Halal meat available.”

“Haven’t been here for a while. And I can say it’s definitely been worth the wait drinks and food was amazing. We was served by Biggie who recommended the drinks to us. Was very helpful as he asked us what we like and don’t like to give us the best options on the menu. Will definitely be returning to try the other stuff on the menu. Thank you Biggie for the lovely service today :)”

“If you're on the fence about visiting Ayannas, get off it. You'll walk into an intimate space reminiscent of my now 2nd favourite London restaurant: Sparrow. Ayannas takes the top spot from the quality of this focused menu to the well-balanced cocktails and overall presentation. Flawless guest service, food, and drink. It was a quiet night - we were the first guests to arrive for dinner at 7pm - and the owner took this as an opportunity to get us checked in at a comfortable pace. She was even gracious enough to push back our booking time as we were having delays in transit. We enjoyed the boneless curry goat and braised oxtail with rice & peas, alongside freshly made coleslaw and a rich mac & cheese. Very satisfying meal, both in terms of portion size and taste. We didn't have room for dessert but will definitely return to try the chocolate and rum cakes. All in all, Ayannas menu is a true love letter to Jamaican cuisine - highly recommend.”

“Felt home after a really long time. Ordered 2 meals with my friend and every dish was tasty and filled with flavour. Felt transported back to being in Chennai. The people who worked also were hospitable and friendly and kept asking us if we wanted anything else. Ended the meal with filter coffee which was again a 10/10”

“Authentic Chinese food. It’s a less expensive Chinese restaurant compared with others in Chinatown. All staff here are very nice and helpful! Really suitable for people eating together.”

“Great people working there, extremely efficient and friendly. About the products, the quality is well known, you can buy with confidence although it's a bit pricy.”

“This is the best food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. The staff are incredibly friendly. It’s nice to see a family business that cares about their customers and the quality of their products.”

“Very impressed with food quality and taste. Ordered Tofu with vegetables, egg fried rice and shredded crispy chicken in sweet and sour sauce with chilli. I fully recommend this take away.”

“I go there for my grocery, and they do fresh hot nan baked in a Tandoor. Cost £1 for 3.”

“A silent classic. Great food. Overlooked. Amazing staff. Honestly come back to this place all the time. Always freshly cooked”

“Lovely hotel, helpful, friendly staff. Great room service menu, highly recommend.”

“Interesting menu options, tasty food. Primarily brunch items but all menu items available all day - including the delicious salted pork donut. High quality ingredients - excellent coffee blend, lovely salted butter, good sourdough bread. Friendly service and a good price. Don't bother with the breakfast option in your Westfield hotel, come here and enjoy proper food. Where else would you get a lobster and bacon eggs Benedict. Opulent brunch, par excellence.”

“Great value and quality (locally sourced) home-made / cooked food delivered to your door. Adults and kids menus available with both vegan and vegetarian options”

“We recently had an extended stay here due to being unexpectedly turfed out of our homes. The premier plus rooms were delightful, the location is two minutes (if that) from the tube station, it’s relatively new and super clean and the breakfast was great. The ability to have rooms cancellable until check-in is very helpful. The staff could not have done more for us and went over and above to ensure we had everything we needed - Special thanks to Lorraine and Ashley whose generosity and kindness we won’t forget! Thank you”

“At 40 and following a 15 year hiatus from tennis I decided to seek a little bit of help getting back into it so I found my local club and local coach and this is when i met Enrico. Initially I was only planning to have a few lessons but as well as enjoying the sessions due to Enrico's positive and encouraging attitude (even when I couldn't hit a forehand) I've continued to seek Enricos tuition both privately and as a part of the various levels of group lessons he hosts from the "rusty rackets" group to "squad training" group lessons. I am now playing the best tennis I have ever played. Yesterday my toddler attended her first Enrico group session too, she had a lot of fun and it was great to watch Enrico+team run around trying to herd 12 3 year olds. I couldn't recommend Enrico and Linkside enough.”

“Nice foods and very valuable for money. Came with wife and had dinner. We remember Srilanka and very tasty. Thank you.”

“Good portions, tasty food, and always ready to collect ahead of schedule. Exactly what you want from a local Chinese takeaway”

“Clean, modern and safe. Great breakfast and evening meal. The staff were very nice. A short walk from Central Line underground. Close to ABBA arena. No complaints at all.”

“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.”
