Dinner options in Barking

“Just your standard travel lodge. Great room at a very good price. Can’t complain. Only about a 5 minute walk to barking tube station and directly under the Travelodge is a Tesco express so it’s a great location. We stayed here as we went to the 02 arena for a concrete and is about 20 minute tube journey about which is very convenient . We will definitely look to stay here again when going to the o2”

“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.”

“A real taste of the Swahili Coast in East London. Perfectly grilled mishkaki (skewered meats). Prices are reasonable given the quality. Overall, this Halal food restaurant is a must visit for adventurous food lovers or anyone craving an authentic experience.”

“Friendly staff, good selection of products. Most fruit and veg can by bought by weight so very good if I only needed a small amount.”

“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”

“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!”

“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”

“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 :)”

“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!”

“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!”

“It was a delight to eat at Alex's Place. We loved every bit of it and the staff were so warm and welcoming. The food was GREAT and so much that my spouse and I could not finish it so we took it home. We ordered a platter and we tried a couple of other dishes on the menu. LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!!”

“Fresh food. Fairly priced. Friendly staff. Great variety of food. Just what I needed.”

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

“£5 for three filling omelette with chips and beans is a good price. Swift nice service and overall good place for good meal, for not so London's price. Definitely recommended to visit and try.”

“I recently tried APR Chicken Pizza, and I was blown away by both the pizza and the chicken! The pizza was perfectly cooked — crispy crust, generous toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. Every bite was full of flavor. But what really surprised me was their chicken — so juicy, crispy, and full of seasoning. It’s hard to find a place that nails both pizza and chicken, but APR does it effortlessly. The staff was friendly and service was quick. You can tell they care about quality. Highly recommend for anyone craving amazing pizza and mouthwatering chicken. Will definitely be coming back!”

“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.”

“Great friendly service from staff food is lovely. Very clean including the toilets I have never seen toilets so clean in a cafe . Thank you guys x”

“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.”

“Ate here with my bro twice. Loved it! The single slice of cheese for 75p is actually humorous”

“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!”

“Lovely steak house, premium cuts of meat and rich menu to choose from. They also do a lunchtime menu too. Restaurant is spacious and warm, suitable for kids. We tried the bone marrow for starters and lamb chops, really good flavours especially with the sauces. Definitely one of the best places to eat in this area.”

“We had a really nice meal here. The service was great and we were really looked after. The food was lovely and plentiful . We booked ahead but they were taking walk ins too. I fully recommend this Indian restaurant and well be returning. Also they do take away and delivery.”
