Cozy dining in Ilford

“The service we received was amazing! I'm happy with the help we got from Shelina she helped us choose the perfect couches for our home & also served us Turkish tea! Great store.”

“Adana never disappoints! The staff are absolutely amazing—welcoming, friendly, and always make you feel like a valued customer. I ordered the grilled chicken, wings, and calamari, and every single item was incredible. The chicken was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, the wings were juicy with just the right amount of spice, and the calamari was tender and delicious. You can really taste the quality and care they put into their food.”

“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 Hyderabad wala Ilford. Amazing taste and many thanks to the chef who made our sister’s birthday very special. Highly recommend.”

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

“We had been meaning to try the food here for a while and so glad we did. Two bento boxes , one katsu chichen and the other balogi beef. The chicken was crispy and the sauce I thought was a bit thin but it was very good too. The balogi beef was very tender and tasty. Both boxes had vegetable rolls and goyza , some pickle and vegetables plus good sticky rice. Both boxes were a very good portion. We also had a salmon prawn katsu sushi special. Twelve pieces, nice and fresh with loads of pickled ginger , lettuce and endame beans. We were told a 40 minute wait but it was here in 20 minutes, beautifully packed in two bags , hot in one sushi in the other. Came with bamboo cutlery, soy sauce, wasabi and napkins and the related sauces. Loved everythong and will be ordering regularly no.”

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

“It was Fantastic flavour It was amazing. I would definitely try other dishes the one I had was chicken in black bean sauce with noodles and some vegetables. I think item number 41 on the menu.”

“I am so pleased with the work undertaken by Yas and his team. We had an emergency that required a banister and supporting posts on our staircase as this was needed so we could have a stairlift fitted as my elderly mother was injured and couldn't get downstairs. I rang Yas and he came the following day to fit. I cannot thank him enough. The work undertaken was fantastic, they were very professional, they cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend Yas and his team. I will definitely be recommending him to my friends if they need any work undertaken. Thank you Yas. I have attached before and after pictures”

“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.”

“Super delicious food ❤️❤️ Taste like heaven ✨”

“Extremely disappointed with this place. I chose this place based on the good reviews, but everything arrived stone cold. The chips were stale and tasted as if they’d been fried in old oil. The shawarma wraps were also a huge let down, the sauces were so tangy and overpowering that they completely ruined the flavour. Honestly the worst shawarma I’ve ever had. I spent £41 and couldn’t enjoy any part of the meal. Definitely won’t be ordering again. Save your £ don't bother.”

“HIDDEN GEM HELLOOO?!? The photo truly speaks for itself. It was so delicious and really tasted like it was made out of love! We came here once before and were given some sweet goodies as a kind gesture, it really stuck with us so obviously we had to make sure to come back. This time we were treated with the same warm welcome and kindness. The man who works at the till is such a sweetheart, always so attentive to the customers and never fails to put a smile on our face before we leave, he really makes up for most of our experience. Love love love! 100% recommend this place ❤️”

“Great little cafe. Quality is good, friendly service, good hygiene and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent homemade dishes. Overall much much better since owners have changed. Happily recommend.”

““Amazing wood-fired pizzas! Super cheesy with all kinds of toppings and great taste.”

“Best burger in area.fast serves I enjoy my breakfast”

“Took my grandmother there for her birthday dinner, excellent food, nicely presented, very good service and great atmosphere. I highly recommend. They even surprised us with a little cake for her at the end, which was so sweet.”

“I was working in this area for a few days not many places to sit and eat unless you want to takeaway. I came across Sky Coffee Lounge it's in between a coffee shop and restaurant. There is a sandwich menu and hot food menu, serving a variety of cold and hot beverages. On the day I visited it was quiet and I was talking to the owner. If you live near here give it a try you won't be disappointed. The atmosphere is wonderful, if you're alone bring a book or newspaper, relax so some reading, meet some friends for lunch or if you have a casual date organise to visit this place.”

“Very good condition and service Friendly staff whenever they see me always very friendly”

“Amazing place with some of the best shawarmas and burgers around. The flavors were incredible, portions were generous, and the sides complemented everything perfectly. Friendly staff, fast service, and a great overall experience. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Omg this place was so delicious, amazing food , service and drinks. I loved the decor of all the amazing cassettes in the restaurant of all the different movie soundtracks, I would highly recommend such an enjoyable evening!”

“I've been going here for my espresso fix and pastry, coffee is worth going for, it's strong, dark roast with a nice well rounded flavour, it's been a place I get my caffeine fix from”

“Our go to breakfast spot! Me and my partner love coming here. Food is absolutely delicious, people are so kind and always present our food with a smile. (Btw they're breakfast sausage are the best I've ever had, and bonus is everything is halal!!!) Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.”

“Serving the meal at Moldova Restaurant is a superb experience ! The serving staff is highly trained to assure the best customer satisfaction, always present for quest needs and demands. All the dishes are so tasty, made in traditional way by kitchen staff. The restaurant decor is like a dream, everything is nice and pristine inside. And the last but not the least, the prices are affordable for any pocket. Many thanks and keep it up :)”

“This is a great expense, one that could be tried by anyone. There are some great choices available for starters, soups or mains and desserts, this place truly has something for everyone. From the outside it looks like a hotel lobby restaurant or something you'd find in central London. Inside is a nice looking banquet hall. The food is delicious and consistent, I've had 3 courses that I was equally pleased and impressed by. My favourite was ciorbă de burtă (tripe soup), although the sarmale (stuffed cabbage) was also really tasty. Don't forget about papanași (doughnuts?). 9/10 would go again, thoroughly recommended.”

“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!”

“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!”

“I have been eating from here for at least 20 years. Food and staff are both excellent. Never disappoints!”

“Friendly, good service good food. Always visit when I'm in the area.”
