Dinner options 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.”

“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 Sahara Grill and wanted to give special mention to Abdur Rahman, who served us. He was very professional and, for a trainee, did an excellent job. He was attentive in a calm, subtle way, checking in on us during the meal and making sure we were comfortable without interrupting the experience. Little thoughtful touches showed his awareness and good service, which really helped us feel relaxed. Food-wise, everything was enjoyable, but the Angus short rib was a standout – absolutely a hit and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, a very positive experience. Credit to Abdur Rahman and the team.”

“VERY sad to say that The Golden Curry is closing on 1st Sept after 58 yrs (they opened in 1966). Lovely food, place and staff. It will be sorely missed.”

“Very nice cafe. Food tastes great. Was recently refurbished so internally better decorated then a lot of other local cafes”

“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.”

“Heard good things and it didn't disappoint. Pizza made fresh in front of us and tasted lovely! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area”

“I was Dubious about dining here after reading some of the reviews about management/staff But must confirm the place was amazing! We booked a table for 20:15, arrived at 20:10 and was seated at 20:15 our waitress took our drinks order and advised on some wine. She promptly returned with the drinks poured the wine and we ordered starters. Within minutes they was on our table. The main meal we was not sure about as the menu had some very nice sounding dishes. The order was placed and when they arrived at the table we all said WOW they was all presented well and looked devine. Our wine glasses topped up and we tucked in... the food was 1st class it really did taste delicious! The table was cleared and deserted ordered again fantastic! Very tasty. Would have loved a coffee but I was full. So to sum up the staff where professional, the food and deserts amazing! Can't wait to return to sample the menu.”

“Very nice service. Staff members are always kind and polite. The food is amazing, crispy! 10/10”

“Staying a few doors down at a VRBO, and we've come here every morning of our stay for coffee. The specialty coffees are delicious, and the baristas are so nice! They also offer a variety of breakfast pastries that our kids loved. We haven't tried their actual breakfast items as we aren't morning eaters, but they also look delicious! Thank you Artful Blend for making our stay a little brighter!”

“Fabulous live music at the Gardener's cottage on Sunday 12pm - 4pm in summer. Why I'm I just hearing about this? Lovely music by Redbridge Music Lounge, great acts worth seeing”

“Wonderful service the staff were very polite and understood exactly what i wanted the meat was really fresh and they had a wide range of spices. Would recommend to anyone and i will be using this shop more often considering its not local to me”

“Great food, nice atmosphere. Real quality shisha and the staff were very nice. Food portins are good,filling, and large. Had the nachos, chilli cheese fries and a pizza which ended up being too much in terms of our expectations of portion size but it was tasty and we got to go boxes. The shisha was very well presented and high quality. Tasted great and went down nicely with the drinks. £95 for 2 shisha, 4 cocktails, Chill Cheese fries, cheese nachos and a 15" pizza split in 2 was the spend. Will return.”
