Evening meals with friends in Ilford

“Went to this amazing restaurant in the neighbourhood. I always prefer to eat meat but this time this vegetarian restaurant served the purpose very well. I ordered Aloo Piyaz thali with sweet lassi and everything was on point. The kind lady from staff was very helpful. Ambience was great with good choice of punjabi music. Overall a very pleasant experience. 9/10 Definitely going back very soon”

“Fresh ingredients lovely food. Restaurant has a great ambiance.”

“Nice shop. They sell a bit of Eastern European food as well. Although, it is annoying that they sometimes forget to put the labels on.”

“Local sushi place that always delivers on quality and taste. We stick to the sushi plus the Katsu. The sushi is great value and very tasty. Gotta say it’s never let us down. Once in a while the presentation isn’t quite on point but the flavours always are. My only squibble. Chop the ginger otherwise you’re making me do the work. Love this place!”

“As always, we had a wonderful meal here. Radhi is an excellent hostess- attentive, kind and very helpful. The food is excellent and really good value. I recommend Spicy Dosa very highly. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Maureen”

“Outstanding pizza. Fresh tasty ingredients. Great fluffy bases and a great menu with some stand out creations. Mumbai Madness, Caribbean Hot and Margarita is my favourite. The nachos are awesome too. Try the chicken sides. They are fab also.”

“Excellent independent coffee place. Comfortable surroundings, decent coffee which is reasonably priced.”

“Great food and service. Parking in the retail park nearby for like 3hrs. Gets busy during the day so go early. Worth going to”

“Very busy but great tasty food. Love the fish & chips here. Very unique taste.”

“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 :)”

“Nice restaurant at the top of Barkingside High Street. Plenty of choice on the menu. Reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended.”

“I went for first time and everyone with me loved the freshly chargrilled mixed grilled dish and their Turkish bread was an epic hit with paprika on it, lahmachon was amazing too mashaAllah”

“It was very time there . Atmosphere was very cosy. Dimmed light with music. Table service. Excellent Customer Service . Unfortunately the kitchen was not up and running as there were some refurbishment going on. Great place to enjoy your evening .”

“If you crave spice, this is the place to go to! Recently I’ve been let down to a great extent when it comes to spicy food. The Bangladeshi Naga is the world most spiciest natural grown (non modified) spice in the world. A lot of places in east London sell Naga wings... well they claim to anyway. But it seems as though all the places have reduced their spice levels together like it’s been regulated by the government! I’ve never had a spicy pizza and decided to come here as my mates were talking about it, and boy was I satisfied! Their muddy fries was amazing too! Place was clean and customer service was on point too. Just typing this reviews is making my mouth water, which means I will be visiting real soon again!”

“Eating more traditional Chinese food meant travelling up to China Town in central, now there's no need. Mandarin Palace offers some amazing authentic Chinese food. Haven't tried the dim sum yet, but plan to. Highly recommend the Thai style chicken feet!”

“I could spend ages trying and I wouldn't be able to find anything negative to say about this place and their food. Staff is great, quality of the food is superb and it's been like this every single time I went there. My tip: add beef to the nachos, you'll thank you later”

“Wait to be seated was long for no apparent reason. The service was good, very attentive, but a big gap in middle of meal with no staff about so that we could get their attention. The food took quite long to come out but when it did, it was fabulous, worth the wait! Will definitely be returning.”

“Great local pub with nice community atmosphere! A local jewel of a pub! Recommend!”

“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.”

“Our Costa cafe is my favorite with feeling like a safe and warmest place. All staffs are kind and humble Speak frankly and provide comfortable environment which I always prefer ... Costa Coffee Once again thank you all of guys and your such a hard work Amina from Nepal”

“Me and my boys came here to watch the Chelsea vs Liverpool FA Cup Final. Lovely service food was amazing nice seating and excellent shisha could not complain about anything. Cleanliness was not an issue. Definitely recommend friends and family to come here.”

“Always a great experience eating here. Parathas are made fresh.”

“Delicious Turkish and Persian food If you are looking for something light and tasty Wazir is the place. Been to the restaurant and also ordered takeout, both times the food quality was good. I like the fact that they also have a vegetarian section, a bit pricey but overall nice food”
