A lovely store which make some amazing fresh authentic Pakistani tea. The girl workings behind the counter also gave me 2 cake rusks and they tasted amazing.
ONE OF WORST RESTAURANT I have been. Mutton Biriyani was not fresh, very dry tasteless. Not worth for £9.99 had juat 4 small pieces. Probably £2.99 biryani in ilford lane much better. Ordered chicken cutlets, menu said 2pc - £2. But when it came it was just 1, and had to ask to get second. As biryani was dry requested for some gravy, which was declined. Then ordered a chicken roast. It had an overpowering taste of something (not sure of ajinomoto). For £6.99, it has 6 very small prices and that too one was neck and another was just bone. Service was even worst. Had to wait 10mins for someone to take order. Asked for a glass for water. Was given one of those cheap thermocop cup! In total one of the worst. Suggest the owner to visit to other south indian restaurants in eastham, ilford or seven kings and compare… DO NOT RECOMMEND
This quaint café/restaurant serves authentic Kerala cuisine, with a unique menu. There is a large variety here, fitting for a variety of occaisions; family dinner, quick tea/coffee, or a little takeaway. This time, I really enjoyed my (very spicy) chicken curry with malabar paratha, whereas other times I've popped in for a quick hot chocolate to-go. The atmosphere left me wanting; it was a bit quiet, nothing to hear other than business & personal phone calls being made by a member of staff. It has potential, with beautiful seating & decor, and a homely ambience. Nevertheless, the till/waiting staff were excellent, credit goes to them. They have good culinary knowledge and they are attentive. Overall, it is an excellent place; really yummy curries at great value-for-money.
The food was amazing and full of flavour. Especially the Chicken Mandi. Very lightly cooked but bursting with flavours. Karak chai simply spot on. Also ordered Kebab rolls, Pav bhaji and some Onion bhajis served with variety of tasty condiments. Spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. Staffs were amazing, conversing and very polite! Defo recommended to try out this place
A lovely family friendly cafe on Barking road next to other restaurants. The cafe serves a variety of hot and cold food and cold and hot drinks. We visited the cafe for some hot drinks after an evening meal at another restaurant. Parking available on side roads free after 6:30pm. The cafe had a lovely vibe about with with Pakistani/Indian style decor. Seating capacity for around 50+ people. Different seating zones for small or large groups. Seating was comfortable. The cafe was very clean, well light and all info on items and price very clearly signed on walls. The entrance has traditional Indian style chairs and decoration. The cafe has a great feeling of bringing you back to your roots atmosphere about it but with a modern touch. Walls were decorated with photos from the villages showing the traditional cultural feeling of this place and other items to spice up the decor. We came for some hot drinks but unfortunately came too late for the popular karak and chai drinks as they had finished, this is how popular this place is. The brother who serve us was very apologetic but agreed to make us some masala tea which was the closest we could get to Karak chaii. He was a very friendly person and made us feel at home while we took our seat. The order counter and surrounding has small touches which reminded of the cafe roots and that for a second you felt you were back home. I loved the little pillow with salt and pepper (would love to purchase one) and did suggest this to the staff serving us. We waited around 30mins and drinks were served again in a really lovely traditional toy cart again making the whole experience something different. Drinks were hot, well flavoured and tasted lovely once they cooled down. Drinks were served with some toast biscuits again reminded us all of experiences when visited cafes back home. A lovely cafe, great for families as you can sit down and using the decor and photos on wall talk to family, friends and children about your roots and culture back home because you have items to show them. Price of drinks were similar to other places but I enjoyed the drink here better. We all felt the brother who made it gave extra love as everything else had finished. Will visit again with friends and family. If you local do pop in you wont be disappointed.
