Authentic restaurant experience in Barking

“Came barking to visit family and we ate here. The place was very clean and the food was delicious and very welcoming staff”

“It was my first time dining at Restaurant Albina, I loved how authentic the restaurant was inside and how cosy it felt. I was greeted by the waitress who was very friendly and helped me with the menu as I couldn’t decide from all the tasty options! I ended up having the chicken/pasta soup with a warm bread bun. The soup was delicious, a clear broth with lots of flavour - and I loved how light but filling it was. The bun was the perfect add on. For dessert I had the cherry dumplings - I will definitely be coming back for those! Overall I had a really great meal, the food and atmosphere is very comforting and gives a lovely family/friendly vibe. Thank you Albina for a wonderful meal! I will definitely be returning!”

“Amazing traditional Pakistani food. The service is excellent, the owner (We know him as uncle) has the best hospitality and manners. When uncles not there, his boys, Muazzam, Mukarram and Azam make sure the guests are looked after. 10 out of 10 for me!!”

“Great restaurant serving South-East Asian cuisine - predominantly Vietnamese, but also some Thai options, Singaporean, and others. Really satisfying, homely meals. Good service and extensive menu. I would love to visit again. This restaurant earns an extra star from me as the portion-sizes are quite substantial.”

“The take-out food I ordered was absolutely delicious and exceptional. Each dish was bursting with flavour, from the perfectly seasoned stir-fried vegetables to the tender and juicy chicken, which was cooked to perfection. The presentation was also impressive, with vibrant colours that made the meal visually appealing. I truly appreciated the care and attention to detail that went into preparing my food. Thank you for providing such a wonderful dining experience!”

“Bought their cheapest set breakfast for £6.50. It came with fried bread but I was asked if I wanted to swap it for toast so I thought that was good customer service but I declined. Nice big, tasty coffee. Sausage could have been a bit more 'meaty'. Cooked to order. New photo added in July 2024.”

“If you are craving a Turkish takeaway, trust me when I say, Efes is the place to order and nowhere else! You can trust this place for quality with your eyes closed. I have been ordering for years and it is consistently great. I am never disappointed. I ordered my favourite lamb ribs, you get 7 chunky pieces, they were fresh, meaty, well seasoned and cooked perfectly on the grill. Served with delicious Turkish rice done as it should be, the most delicious homemade chilli sauce which I love so much ( I must say my only complaint is that they don’t give enough of it, its too small for the meal). You also get a grilled pepper and tomato, garlic sauce, lovely bread and salad. The portion is generous and served piping hot. I just love Efes. When you think Turkish food think Efes ❤️”

“Ordered food for my daughters birthday. Very respectful over the phone and in person. The food was fantastic aswell”

“One of the BestTurkish kebabs I have eaten the guy named Osman is really helpful and really honest man if you live in East time don't go anywhere else come here”

“The service was fantastic, they were really kind, patient, and always checked on us. The starters came pretty fast and right as we finished our food, came my pizza. This pizza has been one of the best pizzas i have eaten in a while. The prices were very fair and overall this restaurant is a 10/10 for me. Definitely worth it!”

“First time using, Great guys from start to finish. Very family oriented and honest. Really helped me out on my mehndi event and food was very nice with generous portions! Would definitely use these guys again for all future events. Five stars”

“Turns out, the small chinese takeaway with the single chinese auntie at the counter that wants cash payment will be a good experience. Excellent food for a takeout place, and the fact that its so near to me makes it even better. Will be becoming a regular there.”

“Delicious authentic Turkish food, excellent customer service and very generous with the portion size. Great value for money will come again Insha'Allah”

“My wife and I were craving noodle soup, so we visited this place. It was lovely inside, and the customer service was excellent. They gave us complimentary prawn crackers when we arrived. We tried their Big Bow Noodle Soup with beef in Udon Soup—it was amazing and arrived quickly. Highly recommend this place. The staff were lovely, and they even gave us a gift as we were heading out. We’ll definitely be back soon!”

“I love eating here, the staff are wonderful and I particularly enjoyed the fried food cooked by the yeung chap who works there”

“I went there after i saw the comments here and i got one garlic sizzler pizza to try it out and it was amazing! I will come back to try all of them ! Excellent pizza!”

“Loved the Luton branch. Glad they opened more”

“I love to taste Indian food, especially Hyderabadi biryani, and Hyderabad wala is a good choice for a biryani lover like me. The menu had a good selection of dishes. They have both veg and non-veg option. I tested their chicken dum biryani, keema biryani, and lamb dum biryani as well. They served this biryani with raita and gravy. Their food is delicious to taste. The one thing that is good to know is that their biryani is a bit spicy, so think before you taste it if you are not a spicy lover. This is a neat and clean restaurant and has a modern look. The behavior of the staff is good also. I love to go there again to taste their different dishes.”

“This was my first time eating in this restaurant and I would definitely recommend this place. The service is very good and staff are polite. The quality of the food is excellent and very tasty. We had the wood oven special platter which had almost everything usually eat so I am very satisfied. Thank you to the staff once again for the lovely service.”

“The food tasted amazing and was made really fast. They gave us extra chicken wings because of our large order. Thank you so much. I really recommend it.”

“Review: A Great Halal Pizza Spot with Authentic Italian Flavors! If you’re looking for a great halal pizza place that serves authentic Italian-style pizza, look no further! I recently visited this restaurant, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff who made me feel comfortable right away. Their hospitality and positive attitude created a warm and inviting atmosphere, which made the dining experience even better. Now, let’s talk about the most important part—the pizza! The quality of the ingredients was outstanding. You could tell that everything was fresh, from the rich tomato sauce to the perfectly melted cheese and the flavorful toppings. The crust was just right—crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside—exactly how a proper Italian pizza should be. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and it was clear that the chefs put great effort into making sure the taste was as authentic as possible. Another major plus was the pricing. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable the pizzas were, especially considering the high quality of ingredients and the generous portion sizes. It’s not often that you find a place that offers such great value for money. Whether you’re dining alone, with family, or with friends, you won’t have to worry about spending too much while still enjoying a delicious meal. As for cleanliness, I would say the restaurant was in good shape overall. It wasn’t spotless, but it was definitely clean enough to enjoy a meal comfortably. The tables were well-maintained, and the kitchen area looked organized, which is always a good sign when it comes to food hygiene. Overall, I highly recommend this halal pizza place to anyone who loves Italian-style pizza. With its fresh ingredients, amazing flavors, reasonable prices, and friendly staff, it’s definitely worth a visit. Whether you’re a pizza lover or just looking for a nice place to eat, this spot will not disappoint. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!”

“The restaurant was quiet but the food was good and the service was excellent.”
