Dinner dates in Ilford

“The food here was absolutely top notch everything was full of flavour. My favourite was the Lahmacun & Adana Kofte soft, juicy and meaty just the way it should be. The Lahmacun was thin and filled with toppings. Everything here was really enjoyable and it’s the perfect spot if you need a Turkish and wanna go with the family.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It’s a nice place. After a week came back for breakfast with daughter. The food is freshly made and delicious. To top it off, the atmosphere is also cozy! Love it. Staff/owner are very nice, friendly and well behaved. Highly recommended to enjoy their freshly made English breakfast, Desi breakfast and dessert. Many Thanks”

“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.”

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing and the customer service was very good. I would definitely recommend to visit this place for the best smash and chicken burgers.”

“Hands down one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Every single individual item was cooked to perfection. I had the moral mega which consisted of like 8 different types of items and then added nuggets on top - every single item left you wanting more. My wife got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and I tried it - it was damn good! The atmosphere was very nice, they had a high chair for my infant child, servers were all very polite & well mannered and their toilets were also nice & clean. Already looking to go back!”

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this establishment. The food was exceptionally delicious, with each dish freshly prepared and full of flavor. We were pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary baklava, which was a delightful touch. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that added to the overall charm of the restaurant. Additionally, the facilities, including the restroom, were impeccably clean. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, contributing greatly to our positive experience. I left very satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to friends and family. I look forward to returning in the future.”

“Had such a wonderful time here today, it was our first time. We enjoyed the Sunday buffet. We had our kids with us too and they loved the pasta. Food was delicious, they had live music playing and the overall atmosphere was great. Incredible value too thanks again we'll be back! X”

“The best grill food ever in Redbridge! I get food from here every week, even though there are loads of other places in Gants Hill. All the brothers who work there are amazing – well-behaved, hardworking, and always smiling. The food is top quality, and the service makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“Food is great. We had 2 burgers, fries and bom-bom chicken. Have to admit, it was absolutely amazing. (And I am not a burger fan) buns, meat, sauces were of high quality. Definitely the best burger take out we’ve had in this area ever.”

“Great food! I often buy their vegetarian items and really enjoy them. However, when I ask if their chicken or mutton is halal, they say it is, but I haven’t seen any halal certification displayed in the shop. It would be reassuring if they could show their halal certification in the future.”

“Superlative Ambience atmosphere qnd Genuine Aromatic Thai Food. Everything is 100% tasty and Halal. Service is excellent and Noodles are just right. Prawn need careful cooking not to get chewy and chef was careful. And succulent beef was wow. Amazing. Full Marks.”

“Fantastic Service from Rafaela Today! I stopped by Old Maypole today and was genuinely impressed with the service Rafaela provided. She was welcoming from the moment I walked in and helped me with exactly what I needed. Her attention to detail and friendly attitude made the visit so much smoother. Truly top-notch service—thank you, Rafaela!”

“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.”

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

“Be been buying Chinese food from Dragon House for the past 9 years and I must say is the only and the best autentic Chinese food you will find in this area. The place is always clean and the staff is always very professional and very friendly always ready to help. I highly recommend this place. Good value for money and the food is devine.”

“If you are a kebab or meat lover and looking for a halal restaurant in London, this is the place to come. The food was incredible, I'd say all the items were well prepared and cooked. You can understand that from the first bite. The service was also awesome, everyone were really welcoming and respectful. Atmosphere could be better if good songs can be played but the restaurant itself is mesmerizing. Good place to come for family gatherings.”

“Our favourite afghan restaurant, we’ve order from her many times. Simply just call, place order and collect at time given. Dining in is okay too, nothing extravagant but still decent if you want to enjoy the food and not your surroundings.”

“Well worth it! Food taste delicious and lot of different options on the menu. Food came quick, was fresh and hot. Desi breakfast was good compared to other places and so was the English breakfast. Karak chai was basic but food made up of it. Nice decor and loads of seating upstairs. Overall a brilliant visit.”

“Not the best looking pub in the world but really friendly staff and punters, the food is very good specifically the fish curry”

“Brilliant Afghani / Pakistani food. Biryani was delicious and meat was very soft. Falvours were perfect. Enjoyed the food and price good too. I'd prefer to have biryani in barkingside, leas traffic more parking as oppossed to Ilford. Also loved the haleem.”

“I have had the best kebab ever tonight. I have lived in the area for years and wish I had gone to this place years ago. Really good doner meat and chilli sauce. Generous portion size.”

“This lovely restaurant was recommended by a friend. We went today the Boxing Day for a family meal at lunch time. We had the BBQ and hot pot. There’s lots of great selection of meat, seafood , fruits and vegetables. I was quite surprised by the freshly made nan bread, pizza, kimchi, shushi and so on. Definitely good value for money and parking nearby is very convenient as well.”

“Great off licence shop with variety of imported products and drinks to suit your needs!! Will recommend 100%”

“We got to Jrc and it was closed so we searched for buffets near us and found this absolute gem. Hands down, this food was honesty amazing and the staff are really and kind. The food to the atmosphere absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!!!”
