Cafe in Ilford

“Great pub with good atmosphere and great friendly staff”

“Had a nice meal here for my Aunts birthday. It was quite busy but not noisy. The fixed price lunch menu was good value. The a la carte looked a bit pricey! I had the ribs my aunt had the salmon. We were served by the delightful Alissa and really enjoyed the food and the ambience. Recommended.”

“Evya Turkish Grill & Meze Bar is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Turkish flavors. The food is delicious, with a great variety of grilled meats, fresh meze, and flavorful dishes that taste as good as they look. The service is outstanding; the staff are attentive, friendly, and quick to make you feel welcome. The decor adds to the experience with a warm, inviting ambiance and tasteful Turkish touches that make the space feel cozy yet stylish. On top of all that, the prices are very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality and service provided. Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience!”

“Would highly recommend! Food is fresh & the service is quality. Atmosphere is very nice also”

“A great place for us to have Lunch. Offer healthy options and great service from staff and owners. Recommend.”

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing and the customer service was very good. I would definitely recommend to visit this place for the best smash and chicken burgers.”

“Food was really nice, salad, houmous, mix kebab (the chicken especially) and salmon with veg. Service was really great as well. Healthy and well priced. Highly recommend!”

“Best coffee and Italian food in east London”

“Food was excellent and service was great too. The pancakes were so good!! And the savoury options are excellent. We popped in for a coffee and stayed for brunch. It’s a great option in a very busy area with great interior.”

“The best grill food ever in Redbridge! I get food from here every week, even though there are loads of other places in Gants Hill. All the brothers who work there are amazing – well-behaved, hardworking, and always smiling. The food is top quality, and the service makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“A place I will never stopped getting tired of ordering takeouts in most weekends for many, many years. What great about this place is most of their foods are made fresh and not store brought. Their wings are succulent when straight out of the fryer.”

“Loaded fries are the ultimate indulgence, with crispy fries topped with melted cheese, fresh jalapeños, and a drizzle of creamy sauce. The balance of textures – crunchy, creamy, and savory – makes every bite irresistible. Perfect for sharing or as a satisfying solo snack, these fries are customizable with endless toppings. The only downside is how quickly they disappear! A must-try for anyone craving a hearty, flavorful treat. Highly recommended for a game day snack, movie night, or any time you’re looking for a satisfying comfort food fix!”

“Wonderful place to chill around with friends.”

“Came here for drinks with family and friends later jist before christmas- great drinks and atmosphere, food looked delicious but I never ate anything but my cousin said it was very good pub food. Second time around coming here, will definitely come back when back in town again! Great local spot!”

“This pub always used to be my local but was looking old and tired. They’ve recently had a refurb and honestly it looks great. Service is good, food is tasty and it’s one of the few proper pubs left. Will definitely be my local again. Highly recommend it!”

“This employee is being so helpful with my coffee choices! I come to London with love I find familia love with this location and an Omlette!”

“Absolutely top customer service provided by “Elena” she was very professional, friendly and extremely welcoming. I recieved my cheese and tomato toastie, which was cooked to perfection and Vanilla Latte extra was on point too. Highly recommended”

“Lovely place. Shisha was great. Service was amazing, staff look after you”

“Fantastic Service from Rafaela Today! I stopped by Old Maypole today and was genuinely impressed with the service Rafaela provided. She was welcoming from the moment I walked in and helped me with exactly what I needed. Her attention to detail and friendly attitude made the visit so much smoother. Truly top-notch service—thank you, Rafaela!”

“Love there battered sausage and chips. Really can't stay away from this fish shop for to long. I really enjoy battered sausage and chips and I will next time try something new it wouldn't shock me if the fish and chicken and pie are just as beautiful. The staff are quick at dealing with orders and always friendly got great communication skills the chef is blatantly working hard cooking up peoples orders it's in a great location as well.”

“We just celebrated my son's 18th Bday here. We been living in this neighbourhood for over a decade and we never visited the pub as it had a bad reputation but since new management took over and the pub been refurbished it looks truly amazing. Great food menu. Great affordable variety of drinks. The service is impeccable and very friendly staff. My husband is a wheelchair user, the pub has wheelchair access but you got to put the foldable ramp down yourself what didn't bother us as we do that daily at home anyway. Overall a 5* pub very clean and tidy... And they do karaoke on Thursdays aswell. A place I highly recommend.”

“We booked a private dining area on the lower ground floor for an intimate graduation celebration and the service and food was outstanding! We ordered a few tawa grills which was absolutely delicious 10/10 and some biriyanis. The grills were cooked to perfection, tender and flavourful and the lamb chops was the best. With all honesty, the food was the best Pakistani food we’ve had at a restaurant. The private dining area is beautiful itself and perfect for private functions. All the staff including manager Sarwar and the waitresses provided the best service. Thank you for a memorable evening.”

“This is my third time going in here and I always had good time and vibes, the staff and the manager are very friendly and professional, We went also in group during the football game(England and Spain) and the servings was still good even if the pub was full, I recommend the chips and the chicken, there is also lots of space outside in the "garden" and inside. Recommend to everyone”

“Very old school sort of boozer but always made to feel welcome and enjoy a drink here.”

“Visited recently. Cafe decor is a bit too dark for my liking but nevertheless great atmosphere, menu and staff. My only other criticism is that there was a small piece of egg shell in my scrambled eggs. The cafe is under new management. I will certainly visit again.”

“As soon as I entered with my wife and kids, we were warmly welcomed by the girl at the counter and the guy near the coffee area. My mocha tasted amazing, and my kids really enjoyed their berry slush. Thank you, Rakhshan! The place was clean, and the aroma of fresh coffee was just incredible. Visited on Sunday, 1st June 2025 at 5:30 PM. I even bought some chocolate as a small gesture to appreciate the excellent service.”

“A great asset to the local community. Great food, affordable prices and lovely staff.”

“Really fun and engaging. My baby girl loves going ❤️”
