Classical menu in Ilford

“Great cafe been in barkingside high street for decades. Same family same lovely welcome. Loads of locals us it. Food very good and reasonable price. WELL WORTH A VISIT SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CAFE!!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a great experience at Sahara Grill and wanted to give special mention to Abdur Rahman, who served us. He was very professional and, for a trainee, did an excellent job. He was attentive in a calm, subtle way, checking in on us during the meal and making sure we were comfortable without interrupting the experience. Little thoughtful touches showed his awareness and good service, which really helped us feel relaxed. Food-wise, everything was enjoyable, but the Angus short rib was a standout – absolutely a hit and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, a very positive experience. Credit to Abdur Rahman and the team.”

“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.”

“The pepperoni pizza was extremely delicious and huge thank you to the employees at Stone Baked for the excellent hospitality upon collection. I would definitely recommend Stone Baked to friends and family!”

“The experience was very good and the waiters are so friendly. I come here with my college mates or family and we always get good service. Food is lovely and tasty. Good price as well”

“Rohit and Funi were very attentive and hospitable. They took excellent care of me and my friends, even had a good chat and some laughs with them too. Food was absolutely amazing! Tried Gobi Manchurian, samosa tikki chaat, yellow daal and paneer butter masala, all of which tasted lovely! Pani puri needed more sweet and sour in the pani however as a Punjabi Street Food cook myself, based on what I ate, I would highly recommend Indian Aroma which also offers a nice family setting. Rohit brought us a complimentary papad with peanuts and other toppings which was nice but slightly on the dry side. The lime soda needed more black salt but overall, I was pleasantly happy and will be going back to try their Dosa and other vege starters.”

My partner and I haven't been able to even contemplate ordering elsewhere since our first oder (and we're quite a few orders deep now!). Compliments to the staff across the board, we have, and shall continue to sing your praises and recommend you to our friends.”

“Came here because we were at the water park down the road and needed somewhere to eat. The restaurant there is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Sweet 1ne had the highest ratings in the area, for good reason. Very tasty food, and very friendly staff. Even the gym guy was very friendly (it's inside the gym). Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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”

“*5/5 Stars* "I recently had the pleasure of dining here and was blown away by the incredible atmosphere! The decor was stylish and inviting, creating a warm and welcoming ambiance. But what truly stole the show was the dessert menu - every bite was a delight! Rich, decadent, and expertly crafted, our treats were the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. The service was also exceptional. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided top-notch service with a smile. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience!"”

“We went there around 6 pm weekday. We were first to go , all the items were fresh and hot. Chicken tikka, sheekh kebab , fish fry , chicken wings , haleem were hot , spicy , fresh, no bad smell at all. Nalli Nihari was good, lamb karahi was more like Bengali curry but the taste was superb. Chicken biryani was also awesome with some excellent flavours. My family with kids thoroughly enjoyed this delicious food. Compare to Royal nawab , items are less but I can vouch for the taste which is better than Royal nawab. Adult 18 pounds , kids under 10 is 9 pounds.”

“Very good food, really fresh and tasty and the price is very reasonable. We were taken care of by the waiter by name Khaisa. He was very quick in taking our order. The staff are very welcoming. Food arrived within 10min. This was my 3rd visit to this restaurant. Whenever I am in Ilford I tend to visit Watan for lunch. Thanks Khaisa.”

“It is a gem on the corner of London. Real authentic street food.”

“I recently stopped by Torino’s, and I was seriously impressed! The pizza was absolutely delicious — perfectly crisp crust, flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, because every bite was packed with flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a casual meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right.”

“The food is really amazing highly recommend to visit in store , service efficient and delicious 11/10 better then any chicken shop ,I’m here everyday they never let me down !”

“Our go to Chinese in Barkingside! great portions and comparably cheap. Never take any longer than 10-15 minutes. Free delivery when spent £10. They don’t offer complimentary prawn crackers though.”
