Dining experience in Ilford

“Great range of options and knowledgeable staff.”

“Great food and great service. The new decor is amazing and inviting. The mixed sheesh grill platter was cooked to perfection. And would also suggest the calamari. Will definitely recommend.”

“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.”

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

“Papa John’s pizza is always tasty and fresh. The crust is soft, the cheese is rich, and the garlic sauce adds the perfect flavour. Delivery is usually on time and the staff are friendly. Sometimes the toppings could be spread more evenly, but overall it’s great for a quick pizza night.”

“Chef Pizza never disappoints. Their pizza is absolutely delicious – the crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, just the way I like it. the service is quick and efficient. Great vibes, great food – highly recommended!”

“We have been going to Harman since it opened its door in Gants Hill - This is the most reasonably priced Turkish restaurant, serving delicious food ! We would highly recommend Harman to anyone who do not compromise on taste yet keep an eye on the budget !”

“Someone suggested this restaurant but we came half heartedly but all the dishes were a surprise to us. It was quite delicious and yummy. It's worth its money.”

“First time here with family and we all loved it. We came when it was rather quiet. All the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. All our courses was delicious. The restaurant was clean. Parking available in a nearby carpark free in the evening. Praying facilities also available. Staff also gave free brownie favour to the kids. Will return again.”

“Lovely restaurant, great food and good service. We ordered the puri and chana masala, veg curry and halwa taali which tasted great especially the halwa. The karak chai was good too.”

“Food and service have improved from before,the new owners have done a good job, the food was delicious . Lovepreet k provided service with a smile. Jeeara chicken and paneer for a starter, bombay potatoes,lamb, and vegetable kofta in spinach for mains with naans and roti. The food was fresh, and the portions were a good size.”

“Very good clean packaging! Great customer service! Good portions and FRESH salads! Not soggy and old salads like most places give. The nihari was amazing, the roti and naan were nice too. Their chicken curry is amazing! All of their curries are really nice, best Pakistani food in the area! The biryani was nice but tasted a bit dry and I only got one small piece of meat which was disappointing. I’ll order again because the food was still really nice!”

“Absolutely AMAZING food I have known them for so long honestly such a friendly environment and service”

“Delicious Pakistani food without the high oil content often found elsewhere. The atmosphere and service was excellent too. Loved our experience and food. Portions are generous so took back some doggy bags.”

“Everything good but faiza the girl work overthere is really rude to customer showing attitude just tell her to be nice and polite to customers as no business can run without customers and staff is there to give good service to peoples not to show them attitude. What will you lose by being nice to customers and we are regular customers we almost come everyday, so just noticed this. Otherwise everything is really good from taste to costumer service from other two girls.”

“thankiu soo much for this i appreciate you for this… always best and first choice in ilford”

“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”

“I always visit thus shop and served very nicely. The staff is so polite and friendly. Everyone should must visit here.”

“One of the best Sushi takeaway around . Quality food . Resonance delivery time”

“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.”

“*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!"”

“Had to come away for work. Long story short on the back end of a 16 hour day absolutely starving hungry we found this little gem. The food was awesome and the hospitality of the owner was second to none I would seriously advise if in the area give it a go. Really lovely people”

“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.”

“I went in this restaurant many times, the food is good I can recommend the hamburger with chips , also I want to say a big Thank you to Tony Barbu always very kind and smiling, very professional staff, the prices are good, the place is amazing , after lunch or dinner you can also enjoy a walk in the park around the lake”

“Excellent service full of fun good food & best service by Mr Nur ul Islam . He made our christmas party perfect. Thankyou”

“It's not the biggest restaurant but the atmosphere is good and the customer service is excellent. The food tastes great and the portion size is reasonable. If you are into spicy food I would recommend ordering the vindaloo or Madras (chicken or lamb) available”

“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.”

“the chicken siş wrap was so well flavoured and fully immersed! would definitely order again and has been one of my top restaurant!”
