Dining experiences 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.”

“Lovely atmosphere created by the one and only Neil. He genuinely brings light to the place. Thank you so much!!”

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

“Couldn’t recommend highly enough, goes above and beyond in every way and took real care and attention to bear’s individual needs. Great all round experience and my husky bear had a great time!”

““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”

“The customer service is out of this world , the food is 10/10 I highly recommend you eat at this fine establishment”

“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.”

“Came barking to visit family and we ate here. The place was very clean and the food was delicious and very welcoming staff”

“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.”

“Best Brazilian pizza and esfiha we have in a long time, products with good quality and a really nice staff.”

“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 don’t know how this place doesn’t have more reviews because this place is amazing. They have amazing service very kind and welcoming. I travel from the US and I probably would say this is the best service I’ve ever received and I eat out a lot. I recommend the biryani and their Peri Peri chicken is so good. I promise you will not be disappointed. This will be one of my go to places going forward God willing.”

“Great food and friendly staff. Even when I asked for take away they topped up my Greek salad. If I’m ever in barking again will pop in.”

“It was my first time dining at Restaurant Albina, I loved how authentic the restaurant was inside and how cosy it felt. I was greeted by the waitress who was very friendly and helped me with the menu as I couldn’t decide from all the tasty options! I ended up having the chicken/pasta soup with a warm bread bun. The soup was delicious, a clear broth with lots of flavour - and I loved how light but filling it was. The bun was the perfect add on. For dessert I had the cherry dumplings - I will definitely be coming back for those! Overall I had a really great meal, the food and atmosphere is very comforting and gives a lovely family/friendly vibe. Thank you Albina for a wonderful meal! I will definitely be returning!”

“I’m from Tanzania but loved the authentic African ambiance. Felt right at home. The food was delicious and the service from uncle and auntie was homely. There was a group of people next to us and I loved their energy. Afrobeats was playing in the background ✨ had a lovely time!”

“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!!”

“One of the BestTurkish kebabs I have eaten the guy named Osman is really helpful and really honest man if you live in East time don't go anywhere else come here”

“From the receptionist taken of order to the delivery of the meals in relatively hot conditions considering the distance travelled were first class services. The shredded chicken chow mein,the BBQ spare, and the king prawn fried rice were full of aroma and tasted so delicious. This restaurant is our newfound first to ring when it comes to the Chinese restaurant option. I must say that the delivery person was such a lovely aged man, full of friendly face patient,energetic,and a gentle voice. Respect. Thanks to the chef. Keep the cooking arts vibrant.”

“It is the best GDK branch I’ve ever been to. Very professional and polite staff especially Ambreen who took my order, she is very kind and knows how to deal with customers. Food was well cooked as well.”

“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.”

“Great Brazilian bar with delicious caipirinhas and Brazilian snacks and dishes and music that takes me back to my time in Brazil. Staff are always very friendly and my hubbie got a cute surprise birthday cake last time we went. /would recommend”

“Just had lunch and wow — the food was so good! The mix grill was perfectly cooked, super juicy, and full of flavor. You could tell it was fresh off the grill with that perfect smoky taste. The Charsi Chicken Karahi was another standout — spicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sauce was so delicious that we couldn’t resist dipping the naan into every last bit. The service was warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back— highly recommended!”

“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.”

“We stumbled into this restaurant on a walk. Tourist stuff ya know. And we were blown away with how good the food was! The service was superb and quick too. If you're looking for a new place to try look no further :)”

“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!”
