Cozy dining experience in Barking

“amazing food, great service, great value for money”

“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.”

“They are really helpful and kind people, thank you barkingroad furniture,”

““Fantastic lunch spot! The food portions were generous, flavours spot-on, and the shisha was smooth and well-prepared. Staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back.” I really love it”

“I ordered through Uber, the food was immaculate! We ordered the buy one get one free ‘hot one burger’ with American fries and cheesy jalapeño, came to around £22. I love spicy food and the burger was just perfect! My burger looked like the picture they have on the menu. Fully satisfied with the flavours, worth every single penny. If I could eat burgers all day this would be the place I would order from.”

“Great neighbourhood cafe. Cozy and friendly hence difficult to tear yourself away! Cornerstone Community Coffee shop is a friendly space where people can just find someone to talk to and get excellent coffee and light meals at affordable prices, or free in some circumstances. It's run by volunteers from charity - East 13 Christian Trust.”

“Simply Bedrooms came to install bedroom furniture for us after a year long rangling with Bensons for Beds which ended up in us getting a refund an buying the same thing from Simply Bedrooms. I wish we had found them first! We paid for the installation service, the guys that arrived were polite, clean and tidy, and professional. They worked quickly and efficiently. I will def recommend the company to my friends and will order from them again when the need arises.”

“I recently visited and was absolutely blown away! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful decor and a cozy vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food? Simply divine! Every dish was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“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!!”

“Honestly the best cafe in London! Star quality food, the chef is simply amazing! The staff here are truly the best, every time I come here with my family they always make me feel so welcome I can’t recommend enough.”

“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.”

“I ordered a Dourada that almost made me cry. I can not wait to go back again. UPDATE. Lamb smells to urine, and portions don't look so big as before, when I ordered meat.”

“A short walk from Canning Town station, the staff were friendly, the food options were great, and the coffee was excellent. We had a mix-&-match salad, scrambled eggs, and eggs benedict. We also shared a dessert, and each got coffees. Well priced, nice decor, and good food”

“The food is so good that it reminded me of my homeland. I ordered creamy chicken and it was something else, and it comes with bread and butter. The butter is another story, it was the one that reminded me of my homeland. The final one, the desert that we ordered, Trilige, was soft and juicy, incredible!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Another great meal at the Galleon Cafe. It’s was so much food I had to climb over it. Delicious”

“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 ❤️”

“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”

“Very nice and tasty food 10 out of 10. Guy serving was really nice and friendly. Lady at the back was really nice and friendly. Cooked fresh and tasty food. Great service. Highly recommended to everyone, will definitely come and visit again 5 star service.”

“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!”

“Great food. and good value for the food you get. Big portions.”

“Loved the food here, lovely selection of healthy vs regular, great prices and lovely friendly and humble hard working staff. Thank you.”

“10/10 and I am fussy when it comes to cafe food as I find most cafes don’t cook their food Throughly. The food was absolutely perfect couldn’t fault it one bit. Price is reasonable, some may even say the prices are within budget. The lady who took my order came Out of her way to ask me about how I want my eggs and meat, you don’t get this service anywhere else. I’m excited to go back next time I am on the barking road. Definitely would recommend this place”

“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.”

“This is call Whitechapel Fried Chicken, former kf chicken, former Greggs Plaistow. Very good food and people. Their chilli sos is another level.”

“First time going to Eighty's Kitchen and it did not disappoint! I had the jerk tofu which they kindly did as a student meal (normally only Jerk chicken) but I'm vegan and was heading to an exam and didn't want to feel too full. The jerk tofu and rice were incredible! I would have had peas and rice but they were in the process of cooking. Honestly I can't recommend this place enough. The food was excellent and the customer service was top notch! If I lived closer I would be becoming a regular here. *Not, the jalof rice isn't vegan.”
