City eats in Ilford

“I'm from Brazil and I met this place today, a cosy and warm CAFE , excellent service, polite, kind and attentive employees, breakfast has incredible varieties and flavours, thank you guys , I will be back !”

“Chicken wrap and fries are too tasty and juicy chicken with mango lassi”

“Absolutely authentic dishes. Whatever I ordereded was top notch. Ordered kulcha, kadhi chawal abd halwa poori. Everything was spot on 10/10. True indian taste.”

“There starters are awesome. Special mention to the Appam very tasty with nice chewy consistency which I love it. I had ur food on one birthday party. Outstanding.”

“Nice colourful restaurant, staff friendly polite and quick service. Crispy broccoli and aubergine very nice..would like to try crispy chicken next time...huge spring roll. £45 for two people. Had 5 dishes.”

“Oops! It was so delicious that we couldn't wait! When hunger thrives, go for OoOdles!”

“Probably the BEST experience I have ever experienced in a restaurant. Cannot fault their service at all- exemplary! From placing the order (where Fatima told us to order through the QR code so as to get the discount on the burgers), to receoving the food for 11, took about 15 minutes. Everything arrived piping hot and we all tucked in. Unfortunately, a mishap happened where a sauce bottle landed on and broke a glass whilst mid eating and fell on majority of the food on the table. Fatima and the manager (a young gentleman) could not do ENOUGH to rectify everything - taking away the affected food, cleaning the table and surrounding areas and replacing all the food within a few minutes. Honestly, I wish all food places were this fantastic. They behaved fantastically with my SEN nephew, even giving permission for him to perform his ritual of going around the kitchen etc before he left. All the food was exceptionally priced also. Fantastic job well done!!”

“Stairs to the loo! Otherwise lovely place, small but cute beer garden out the back. Pizza was really nice!”

“Excellent experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, well prepared and served quickly. The staff created a warm and welcoming environment, making the whole visit enjoyable. It’s clear they care about their customers and the quality of their food. Highly recommended.”

“I’ve been visiting this Co-op store regularly, and I must say it’s a really pleasant shopping experience overall. The first thing that always stands out is how clean and well-maintained the store is. Everything is tidy, shelves are neatly stocked, and the floors are spotless. It definitely makes for a more comfortable and enjoyable visit. The staff here are also worth mentioning—they’re always friendly, polite, and ready to help with any questions. Whether it’s helping me find a product or just a friendly smile at the checkout, their customer service is consistently great, which really makes a difference in smaller neighborhood stores like this one. While the space itself is relatively limited compared to larger supermarkets, I’m always surprised by the variety of products available. From fresh produce to household essentials and even some specialty items, the selection is quite diverse for a store of its size. They make very good use of the available space, and I’ve rarely left without finding what I needed. It’s a convenient and reliable place to shop, especially for quick stops or last-minute groceries. I’m happy to support this local Co-op and appreciate the effort they put into keeping the store clean and welcoming.”

“Andra chilli chicken is very tasty.. definitely recommended.”

“Great tasting and fresh food. Good customer service n they always cater to my request.”

“Nasir was one of the most exceptional customer service experiences I've had in recent years. Welcoming and cheerful. The food was great, it could have been hotter, but it's flavour and texture can't be faulted.”

“We had a great experience. Great Turkish food and insane value.”

“We ordered biryani for my son's birthday, and it tasted absolutely delicious. It was mildly spiced, making it perfect for kids. The tandoori chicken was tender and perfectly cooked.”

“I was Dubious about dining here after reading some of the reviews about management/staff But must confirm the place was amazing! We booked a table for 20:15, arrived at 20:10 and was seated at 20:15 our waitress took our drinks order and advised on some wine. She promptly returned with the drinks poured the wine and we ordered starters. Within minutes they was on our table. The main meal we was not sure about as the menu had some very nice sounding dishes. The order was placed and when they arrived at the table we all said WOW they was all presented well and looked devine. Our wine glasses topped up and we tucked in... the food was 1st class it really did taste delicious! The table was cleared and deserted ordered again fantastic! Very tasty. Would have loved a coffee but I was full. So to sum up the staff where professional, the food and deserts amazing! Can't wait to return to sample the menu.”

“Hands down one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Every single individual item was cooked to perfection. I had the moral mega which consisted of like 8 different types of items and then added nuggets on top - every single item left you wanting more. My wife got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and I tried it - it was damn good! The atmosphere was very nice, they had a high chair for my infant child, servers were all very polite & well mannered and their toilets were also nice & clean. Already looking to go back!”
