“I attended the body piercing academy and i learned more than I could ever imagine! Hrisy (our teacher) is highly skilled and professional, not only in piercing but teaching also. I definitely recommend this course if you are interested in becoming a piercer. Thanks again!”

“Just came back from Al Aqsa with Al Israa tour company. What a beautiful experience mostly because we such amazing and attention to detail tour guides who clearly knew there stuff. Al Israa’s accommodation is about 7 mins from the Al Aqsa compound. The hotel staff was friendly, the rooms clean and food good. Highly recommend if you want to know the history of this magnificent majestic land and it’s people who by the way are super friendly.”

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

“I made an inquiry for this holiday via the chat facility and communicated with Ali to me. I was searching for a hotel with a heated pool as i'm going in April and want to make sure we can make full use of the pool. Ali told me about the Eden Andalou Aquapark & Spa which matched my criteria. When I wanted to move from the chat facility to the phone Ali called me quickly and was very helpful and answered all of my questions. When i agreed to book the holiday Ali talked me through the booking process and called me at each stage to give me an update. In summary Ali Hamza was very professional in his approach and I would recommend using Ali to discuss your holiday needs. The holiday is booked for Nov 2019 so hopefully it will be as enjoyable.”

“Came here for Parkrun, a parkrun in a stunning setting with really friendly people. Had a lovely walk and recci before and after our run. Well maintained park with lots to do. Had a cooked breakfast at Valentines cafe which soon was very busy and was great value. We then had another walk and coffee in the walled garden.”

“The first Romanian shop I've found that has minced meat rolls/ kebab/ mici/ mititei, freshly made by their own brand. Amazing selection of food and drinks from Romania and Eastern Europe. Totally recommend. Wonderful and super helpful personnel.”

“Excellent customer service and quality food also the location is very good.there sisha is very good quality thanks to junaid gave us 100% service.”

“Food was great, biryani was very tasty and portion size was amazing. Butter chicken was good but could be abit more tasty...they sell halal food however they also sell alcohol so be aware of that if you mind...they also had karaoke the night I went so it was abit loud, but we didn't mind”

“Amazing breakfasts . Th french toast was the best I have had around... Took a while to come, but the wait was definitely worth it. The karak chai was really good, and not milky brown syrup like in some places. Will be going back soon.”

“The best samosas I've ever tasted! My child has food allergies and (a) they had a proper list of all the allergens which is so reassuring (b) I was very excited we could have the samosas cos they didn't have extra unnecessary allergens (c) they're literally the best I've ever tasted!”

“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.”

“Had great service here. For a Turkish spot with great competition within 1 mile, the food is prices extremely decent! So many complimentary goods including salads, sauces, breads, turkish tea etc. We did not get turkish tea but we know that would have been amazing just like the rest! First time trying a cheesy hummus, absolutely amazing! Very unique flavour and very filling. Beead was freshly served and steamed up. Salad was to die for. I feel like some turkish places can get salad wrong even though it is very simple. The rice and bulgar (you can do half and half) was sooo moist and buttery! The donner itself was pretty standard. However the lamacun was the cherry on top. Service was A1++++++++. They were very attentive. Super fast and thats why we tipped voluntarily. Thank you guys.”

“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!”

“First time trying Indian food, since most places are with bad hygiene ratings. But this place looks amazing, and clean, food that good that I’m eating from them 4 days in a row definitely recommends giving it a go.”

“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.”

“Just stayed here for 4 days while on a course. Very pleasant and peaceful stay. Be nice if they did food as I'm sure they will eventually, but there are plenty places to eat nearby. Price for hotel was excellent and hotel far exceeded my expectations. Will happily stay again if in area again”

“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.”
